Needs testing:
- Decryption

Decryption is not working

Good job anyway, we have an updated TWRP at least!!

Don't need decryption and everything else works fine!! Strange how md5 checksum is now Digest!! Must be an Oreo thing

Sent from my Sony Xperia Z5 Compact using XDA Labs

@trax7
I own a Zuk Z2, on it the decryption problem was caused by unaligned/updated vendor blobs. I hope this can give you an hint on how to fix decryption.

You tried with a password? Try with factory reset (not wipe data) and it should work... Note that you will lose data so be sure to copy it somewhere first.

I am encrypted everyday on my phone (I have set a password), I am using latest official stock firmware, decryption doesn't work returning a "failed decryption" message.

Thank you!

Hello trax7,

first of all ... many, many, many thanks for the provision of a current TWRP !!!!!
I searched for it so long !!!

Not working (for now):
- Decryption
- You tell me

For the moment I found three things for need of improvement:

1. When going into Recovery, the purple lamp (at the top of the case) does not light up.

2. Double touch the screen, doesn't wake up / switch on the screen again.

3. When starting a backup, I get five error messages:

unable to locate /persistent partition for backup calculations,
unable to locate /misc partition for backup calculation,
unable to locate /firmware partition for backup calculation,
unable to locate /persist partition for backup calculation,
unable to locate /ta partition for backup calculation,
​

... but the backup of the five partitions "boot, cache, data, recovery and system" runs through error-free.

However - I'm glad that we have became a current TWRP for our device!
And if one day the decryption works, I will be happy!

That's weird... I haven't experienced any of those bugs Maaybe just the purple lamp but I haven't even paid attention to that lol

Edit: Yes, purple LED does not light up. However the recovery did not complain at all during backups and locking and unlocking the screen is just fine. Are you using E5823 or E5803?

 

[jw96]

What about encrypted data partition. Is it possible to fix decrypting?

At the moment no, but you can try and test whether it picks it up after a factory reset... Backup ur data tho.

Ha, last night I found the problem for the strange error messages during the backup (it's not a problem of your TWRP-version):
In the .TWRPS file these partitions (persist, persistent, misc, firmware, ta) are still registered for backup from the old TWRP-version I used before.
I just had deleted the .TWRPS file and have created it again ... AND ... ERROR GONE!

I use E5823, but I would not call the problems with the violet lamp and the double-touch-unlock-screen an error ... rather a nice-to-have feature.
I mean, do not waste time with these banalities, if you do not know the solution.

USB OTG storage support

Hello trax7,

at the coming weekend I want to test the decryption of the TWRP - during preparation I realize that "USB OTG storage support" is missing.
Is it possible to implement "USB OTG storage support"?

 

[GreyLeshy]

Is it possible to implement "USB OTG storage support"?

@Trax , add to fstab

/usb-otg         auto      /dev/block/sda1   /dev/block/sda

Decryption can't be achieved by only password. It requires a factory reset (not wipe data!). This is a security measure and each Android device creates their own password for encrypted data partition. So any other passwords such as lock screen security pin won't work. All ways go to performing a factory reset. In addition, in order not to have encrypted data partition again, fstab inside boot image must be modified.

Yes, it is possible. Your device support OTG on it's stock fstab. After we get our works done, we will look onto this too!

Stay tuned!

In the latest two builds SD card access is broken again (or at least I can't access it). Reverting to recovery_suzuran-130218.img SD card access works again.
