Hi (newbie here).
I have a Pixel 4. I did a factory reset / wipe, unlocked the bootloader, sideloaded Android 10 QQ2A.200305.003 (OTA) installed the latest Magisk Manager, Magisk and BusyBox Android NDK and I have su in adb shell.
I took a physical image of the phone, which I did using dd / nc. It worked like a charm except that some of the files / partitions are encrypted. If I have to I'll take a logical of the partitions that I need using rsync or tar but I'd prefer to have a physical image, I can pick apart "offline". I see on the web that using TWRP you can install a zip file that will disable enforce encryption, verity, disk quota.
I can't use TWRP and I'm not sure how to go about it with Magisk, if at all possible. There are a few options in Magisk that mention enforcing encryption and verity in the advanced options, but un-checking those boxed doesn't appear to do anything.
When I check via the phone GUI in system, security, advanced, encryption, it appears encrypted but it doesn't allow me to un-encrypt. I've seen some information that would lead me to believe that I could have done something during the initial setup to disable encryption (and I have no issue going that route) but it appeared to be more of a Pixel 3 thing.
Anyway, I hope I've explained myself properly.
Thank you for your patience.
Denis
