On stock rom, twrp-3.6.2_9-0-santoni and rooted with Magisk 25.2. Phone works fine. No encryption and no fingerprint configured (just pin). I specifically checked in settings and "encrypt phone" is not activated (and it never was).

Wiped absolutely everything from TWRP before flashing and I still get the "Encryption unsuccessful" message. "Encryption was interrupted and can't complete..." WTF? What encryption?
The only option is erase all data and this takes ages (after 5 minutes still not done).
Edit: 15 minutes and still not finished...

Edit 2: ok so after about 20 minutes it went briefly in TWRP then rebooted again... only to show the same error screen. Again, the only option is "Erase all data". Gonna do it one more time, then try a different rom.

Edit 3: I am very enthusiastic so I am going to post this here: I did try a different rom, because the second "erase all data" took me again to the same error. And this rom blew my mind... Admitedly, regarding crDroid, I might have messed somehing on my side - thus, the proverbial error "between the touch-screen and the chair" :). I might have not wiped/flashed (?) completely the card before installing, I only wiped Dalvik, casche etc the usual - not sure if that was the problem. But maybe the developers should give some more clear hints about what is needed.
However, for those looking for a good rom, I can suggest Havoc-OS-v4.16-20220423-santoni-Official-GApps.zip with twrp-3.6.2_9-0-santoni.img amd Magisk-v25.2 (magisk is downloaded as apk but for flashing rename to zip, works as both apk and flash image). This is an Android 11 rom but installed flawlessly, fast, with no problems and apparently everyhing works.

From my own experience you can update without any problems. But it's always more safe to backup before update no matter if you update Windows, Linux or Android device. That makes you 100% sure that even if something brakes you can go back to last working version.

There is a new version 7.28 released on March 26. Update from 7.25 wasn't butter smooth for me this time. Device entered boot loop but I've managed to sort it out by myself withhout reading any info how to do it. What did I do? I've stopped boot loop by pressing power button. Device entered by itself into OrangeFox recovery. There was a red colored error about cache partition problem. I've rebooted into Android, thankfully it worked. There was a info about failed update. I went into update app and made update file into zip. I've rebooted into recovery. In OrangeFox I've choosen update zip file and installed it. After it was finnished I've cleaned cache & dalvik as usual. Then I've rebooted and everything is OK with 7.28 installed.

In release notes on Telegram there is a info:
- Clean flash with format data NEEDED for encryption users after 7.21+, also flash this zip after flash ROM.

Well, I don't have my device encrypted but for some reason there was a problem.
