I downloaded the file again, just in case I had a bad download like @TheSayaMan did.
Installation went through without a hitch. Rebooted into TWRP and could not see my folders again.
I plugged in a USB Drive and reinstalled Magisk from the USB and then rebooted back into OOS13.
Everything except Decrypting is working.
Is there anything you need from my Oneplus 9 Pro that can help you ??

I just looked up the encryption on Android 13 from source.android.com,
it seems that Android 12 and below can use Full Disk/File encryption,
but Android 13 can only use File encryption.
I don't know if this helps or not.
That's weird because I'm on crDroid a13 and decrpyt works for me through internal storage and even otg cable works on latest updates. Maybe it's carrier specific. I have the unlocked T-Mobile variant. I wouldn't think so.

I just MSMd and am in the process of attempting to get it working again on a fresh install. I'll update if it works. I'm on LE2125 (global unlocked)

im running the latest version right now & somehow my /system folder is showing no other subfolders like /priv-app or /app (except for addon.d & apex and 1-2 others). anybody got the same issue? would love a fix, but im still grateful that i have a working twrp at all🙏🏽
You just haven't mounted it yet; you're looking at the ramdisk.

i thought the same, so i mounted it but there was no change :/
Oh wait, you're right, but only sort of! It's mounting to /system_root now, and /system is still the ramdisk. I think that's the new norm from twrp-11 onward? Though I thought it was supposed to use /mnt/system or something at some point. 🤔

Maybe I have found a fix for OSS users but I can't test it because I'm not running OOS. So please test this build.

SUCCESS !!!!

This is on F.16 OSS13.
F.17 incremental just was released but my bootloader is unlocked and I can only flash Full Updates.

There is just one little problem, the display says "Failed to mount '/vendor_dlkm' (block device required
I can't read the whole line, it runs off to the right of the screen,
it does not affect anything that I can tell.

TWRP display still says 3.7.0_12-0 not 12-1.

Do you want the log files again ?

So decryption is working on OOS13? Great. Yes I know there isn't an vendor_dlkm partition on OOS but this is needed to load kernel modules for custom roms. Does it affect you in any way or is it just the error message? Can you maybe test backups?
I'm will look how to overwrite the 3.7.0_12-0 but it's just cosmetic.

    Good new for OOS users. One of the TWRP devs found a workaround for data restore on OOS. Just delete "/data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml", after data is restored. I will exclude this file by default in a future build, but for existing backups, the file must always be removed manually.

    Edit:
    This is also useful for custom ROMs, because it makes first boot faster and eliminates the need to reboot again.

    Update
    • Fix backups and logs not accessible from system
    If you already have backups that aren't accessible from system, flash change_backup_selinux_context.zip which is available in the latest download folder. All backups made with TWRP builds starting from 14-01-23 (aka 3.7.0-12.1-4) are affected.

    Where can I find the changelog?
    There is no changelog. You can either look for update posts which contain a summary of some changes or look into the git history.

    The Restore list issue is still present, unfortunately.

    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Use Advanced > File Manager to ensure /sdcard/TWRP/.twrps is deleted
    2) Reboot Recovery to ensure using /data/recovery/.twrps
    3) Make a backup of something small for our testing, like boot partition
    4) Advanced > Change TWRP folder to name: Recovery
    5) Reboot to Recovery to start fresh
    6) Check Restore list, it'll just show contents of /sdcard instead of actual backups
    Sorry, I forgot to add latest patch. Latest build is now replaced with fixed version.

    Awesome! Can confirm it works as expected now. 😁

    Only thing I noticed is that there now seems to be a rogue empty TWRP folder created at /TWRP which I don't recall happening before.

    This is an unofficial build of TWRP, based on the Android 12.1 branch, that supports encryption used by Android 12 and 13 ROMs. This build is tested on OP9pro but it was confirmed to work on OP9 with OOS 12 firmware installed. Other configurations have to be tested.

    As always I'm not responsible for any bricked device or data loss resulting from the use of this TWRP builds. You use this at your own risk.

    For ROMs using FBEv1 encryption aka A11 encryption, please use the official builds by
    @Nebrassy from:

    Download:


    Installation:

    Permanent installation is not possible with TMO stock ROM installed.


    To temporarily boot TWRP, use the first three steps of Option 3.
    For permanent installation, you have three options depending on your current system.

    1. Option for rooted devices:
    1. Download the twrp-installer zip
    2. Flash it with Magisk manager or some other kernel flash utility
    3. Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk if previously installed
    2. Option for users with other custom recoveries but without root:
    1. Download the twrp-installer zip
    2. Flash it with "adb sideload twrp-installer*.zip"
    3. Reboot to recovery
    4. Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk if previously installed
    3. Option is universal:
    1. OOS13 (firmware) users please download boot-oos13.img. All other users please use boot.img
    2. Reboot to bootloader
    3. Run "fastboot boot boot*.img" with the boot image
    4. Go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
    5. Reflash your custom kernel and Magisk if previously installed

    Uninstall:

    Just flash the boot partition with your current ROMs boot image with the following steps:
    1. Reboot to bootloader
    2. Run "fastboot flash boot_a YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE"
    3. Run "fastboot flash boot_b YOUR ROM BOOTIMAGE"
    Alternatively you can flash your currently installed OTA zip, which overwrites boot on the unused slot, but not on the currently used one.

    TWRP Updates:
    1. Download and flash the twrp-installer zip
    2. After that reflash your custom kernel and Magisk if previously installed

    ROM Updates:

    Please follow the official update instructions for your ROM!


    If they give an option to update via recovery you have to substitute adb sideload commands with zip installations. And use the "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" option if you are going to install a ROM zip to preserve TWRP.

    In case your ROM does not provide a recovery update instruction you can try to update via recovery but you are on the safe side if you follow the official instructions. They always have a reason for their particular update instructions!

    Instructions that work for me (on LOS based ROMs):
    1. Flash ROM zip with "Automatically reflash TWRP after flashing a ROM" checked
    2. Flash your previously installed zips (custom kernel, Gapps, Magisk, etc)
    3. Reboot to system
    4. If Gapps packages keep crashing:
      1. Reboot to TWRP
      2. Flash Gapps again
      3. Reboot to system
    For OOS updates you can follow these steps (I haven't tested them):

    About backups/restore:

    Restore data only WITHOUT pin/pattern set.


    Backups can be made with or without pin/pattern set. It is always good practice to copy your backups to your PC or an USB drive. Also after you restored your data partition you have to reboot to system and do a second reboot to get a working system.
    To make first boot faster and eliminate the need to reboot again, additionally use the step mandatory for OOS users.

    If you want to copy your backup to PC, but it doesn't show up, flash change_backup_selinux_context.zip, which is available in download folder.

    For OOS users:
    When data is restored, you have to delete "/data/system/users/0/package-restrictions.xml" before rebooting to system.

    In case you restore a backup with pin/pattern set or have some other issues I have a guide that works for me:

    Source Code:
    Bugs:
    • Permanent installation besides TMO stock isn't possible
    • In case you notice anything else please let me know.

    Thanks to:
    • @Nebrassy for the original device tree
    • @osm0sis for the zip installer
    • TWRP team
    • LineageOS
    13
    Update
    • /data/fonts/* is excluded from backups (has to be verified by someone with backup errors)
    • screen turns completely off now
    • updated firmware files from LE2125_11.C.63 (maybe this helps with OOS13 problems)
    • initial installation is now possible without flashing vendor_boot (I tested a few combinations of installation methods and initial system configurations. So hopefully nothing is broken this time.)
    Have a happy New Year tomorrow!

    Update
    • improve vibration support
    • fix kernel modules loading in fastbootd mode for custom roms (might result in an error message regarding vendor_dlkm for OOS users, but it's just cosmetic)
    Tested on LOS 19.1 (OOS 12 firmware) and crdroid 13 (OOS 13 firmware).

    10
    Update
    • add vendor_boot and dtbo to backup targets
    • add CPU temperature output
    • fix vibration (still doesn't work in fastbootd mode)
    I tested this build on LOS 19.1 (OOS 12 firmware) and crdroid 13 (OOS 13 firmware). Also keep in mind that you have to use the boot image according to your installed firmware, if you want to install/test via fastboot.
