[RECOVERY] [UNOFFICIAL] [9.0] [3.2.1-0] TWRP Pie

[mhys33]

Hmm let me remember...
Go to Vendor/etc …> fstab.xxxx open it and go to data line, at the end of the line you'll see the encryption, just delete it (same as image) the word "check" is the latest word that needs to be keeped.
Now go to recovery.fstab and do the same look for userdata and delete the encryption part until length=xxxx.
Look at the pictures that I attached.
After that reboot and do the wipes on stock recovery. Now try Twrp it worked for me.
Don't waste your time if you are going to use OpenKirin roms, because it didn't worked, it encrypts again the device. I have an idea about which file I need to edit but I haven't tried it yet, because I'm using Aosip.

Hope it works for you

If you ever do get decryption working on these OpenKirin ROMs, that would be amazing..!! Please let us know if you figure it out.

To remove encryption you need to edit vendor/etc/fstab.hi3660. Copy it to your pc or open it any text editing app and remove the forceencrypt line. Then put it back in vendor/etc. Then boot into twrp and format data by going to wipe, format data and typing in YES. This will remove encryption and because you just modified the fstab file you'll stay decrypted. Twrp will now also see your internal storage correctly as well.

Btw, isn't it written originally fileencryption, not forceencrypt in the line for /userdata partition

If you removed Encryption and reformatted Data, does Project menu (dial: *#*#2846579#*#*), Network Information Query/Vendor Country Info still show correct Vendor: hw, Country: eu

Anyone know if you can use this method in Emui 9.1

Decryption? No. 9.1 uses EROFS on /vendor so you wont be able to modify fstab. It might be possible using Magisk...

I have been reading the thread but I don't have one thing clear:
I have a EMUI 9.1 magisk rooted phone flashed in recovery. Can I flash directly TWRP to erecovery? Or I need to flash TWRP first in recovery and then in erecovery.

In the first case, is correct the following command?
fastboot flash recovery2_ramdisk TWRP_XXXX

Also, as I have EMUI 9.1 stock ROM do I need to decrypt or it is not necessary to make TWRP works?

Thanks

May I boot this without flashing with fastboot boot twrp.img ??
EDIT: It seems that this not work in Pie. Sorry for the noise.

 

[Okiera29]

I can not seem to get this to boot. I use 'fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk {disk img name}' and it flashes and says everything is okay. When I try to boot into recovery(vol + and power) it doesn't matter if it is plugged into the computer or not. It boot loops a couple times and then tries to boot into the system. I have soft-bricked my device and I am trying to get it back up and running. Since I was on Pie, non of the usual suspects work anymore

It is not work with MHA-L29 why

 

[MrHomebrew]

Where can we find the source for this twrp? Could I get a link to the github, etc.

Because System is read only. You should use systemless changes - to change build props use Magisk module Magisk Hide Props Config - install, reboot, use Terminal and command: props

For AdAway, you must enable Systemless hosts in Magisk, and reboot

Basically want to enable volte switch under system >vendor >build.prop

So, install MHPC and take the option to Edit a particular prop (you should know which one and to which value) and do it...
