INSTALLATION:
0. Backup your ROM, your data, your internal storage, and your settings/apps, to an external device
1. Download the Pitchblack zip file to your device
2. Reboot to your custom TWRP-based Recovery
3. Install the PitchBlack zip file as a normal zip
4. Reboot to recovery after installation
5. Enjoy!

What different?
It can decrypt encrypted /data (asked password for decryption)
Fixed "wrapped key" error flag shown on console

Notes:
It can be installed on willow (theoretically), so I need more tester for willow (because I don't have the device).

Did you mean backup as image? If it is so, only labeled "_image" is backupable as image.

My system got destroyed after I installed pitch black recovery using twrp. Please help in recovering my system. Thanks

Backup in Recovery (PitchBlack, ...) could still gzip the image, which would save a lot of space (and wouldn't break dm-verity) ...

- Download fastboot miui rom
- Extract it to get vbmeta.img
- (For windows) Download minimal adb or latest android platform-tools, extract it, then move vbmeta.img to that folder
- Connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode
- Open cmd/terminal from that folder, then use command:

fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

Update please
Needs a twrp with metadata

[Teguhpunya]

you have tried in willow

No. I don't have willow, so I need more willow users to test it

Excellent work. I'm with Willow and it works great. It also works with Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip mod, because with twrp-3.4.0-0-ginkgo, I had problems. Everything is fine here. I have only one remark, some lines from the menu are in very small font and I can't read them. Please correct this.
