Failed to decrypt data in TWRP on LOS 15.1 system

[KJJ]

Hi and thank you for your help!!

@Johannes

Remind me, why exactly is an old camera module needed (for this specifically)?
Related to this: I seem to recall that enabling the torch function of the new camera module before rebooting/encrypting/etc. solved some of the issues, not sure whether that works here (e.g. flashfire) though.

I don’t know, this is what AnotherElk did described here
maybe it has something to do with:

@AnotherElk

Regarding the current state of affairs with the new camera module …

If you want to encrypt … enable the flashlight before and it should work.
If you want to reboot automatically into recovery (e.g. for updates) … enable the flashlight before and it should work.
If you want to shutdown … enable the flashlight before and it should work.

@AnotherElk

If you just want to do updates, encryption has nothing to do with this, because the partition which gets updated is not encrypted.

Thats good to know, I was not sure about that… But makes sense…

@AnotherElk

And you want to use something like Flashfire for installing stuff? So you don’t want to use TWRP? Encryption wouldn’t matter either way.

If TWRP works, I’m fine with that. Flashfire was just a idea for a workaround.

Can I install the opengapps updates with TWRP with encrypted data partition?

Do I get that right, encryption does effect the data partition? The LOS updates won’t write anything to data, so I can ignore the fact, that TWRP cannot encrypt the partition for the sake of doing updates?

@AnotherElk

f you want to encrypt … enable the flashlight before and it should work.
If you want to reboot automatically into recovery (e.g. for updates) … enable the flashlight before and it should work.
If you want to shutdown … enable the flashlight before and it should work.

Thank you, I already figured that out

@AnotherElk

For safety’s sake, disconnect any USB connection and disable Bluetooth, both things have lead to the flashlight workaround not working for other users occasionally.

Thanks, good to know that!

Have a nice day guys!
