TWRP encryption problem

[Pauwil]

After i wanted to install Android P, i got a bootloop. so i wanted to go to twrp but now my files are encrypted and twrp is not asking for a pin or pattern so i can't decrypt my internal storage files.

Now the biggest problem is that i just came back from a family weekend and i made a lot of pictures, witch i can't acces now, and i really want them back.

Now i can't install a new os or anything ...

Can someone please help me! i'm really despirate

(sorry for my bad english)

Try downgrading twrp , night get it to ask for pin

downgrading is never the answer. In fact, that will cause this problem to happen. Now i must ask, are you temp booting twrp or is twrp installed to phone.

I got this when I temp booted the mtp enabled twrp the other day, although it still asked for my passcode and said description was successful. When I rebooted the installed (official) twrp it all came back....

Now i am booting from temp twrp, before that i got the latest twrp installed

Bringing this back up... Did booting from temp twrp work? Ran into the same issue.

Temp boot and use the usb c to pull ur data from the device to a computer. After that you can wipe and start over. Unbricking guide available in the help section

Having the same issue. If I boot using fastboot TWRP I'm able to decrypt data. I did that and flashed stock OOS and the same TWRP version (BluSpark) that was used in the fastboot. But the folders are still encrypted. It's weird how a fastboot can decrypt it but a regular recovery boot can't. Is there any alternatives available?

I'm in the process of backing up my data before I officially bite the bullet.

Only way i know to get rid of this by removing the encryption on the data is to Format the Internal Storage !

That's what I did in the end. I just backed up my media through fastboot TWRP beforehand. Beats having to use the download tool at least

Probably the best way indeed. I think i'm gonna start disabling forced encryption to stop these kind of problems.

How to do it? I tried with zero luck
