So I just recently received a new (to me) Nexus 6. Going through the process of unlocking the bootloader I forgot to do the command "fasboot reboot". I then installed TWRP and then booted into it. From there I rebooted the system and was brought to a screen that says encryption unsuccessful. I hit the reset button which brought me to twrp and asked for a password. I typed in "default_password", it did it's thing and rebooted to the same "encryption unsuccesful". I tried searching XDA as well as Google to no avail. When searching Google I found some threads for other devices but I didn't want to get into a worse situation than I'm already in so I thought I'd ask here before trying anything else. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Update: I flashed the stock image (manually as the flash-all didn't work) and I was able to get the phone to boot up into Android. But whenever I reset the device it gives me the "Your device is corrupt" screen before booting into the system. And it seems like whenever I try to flash supersu or anything I'll get that message and then it just goes to a black screen and never boots into Android. I even tried to restore a TWRP backup and it still just went to the corrupt screen and then black. I was only able to get it to boot into Android after reflashing the stock images again. Is this a problem with the hardware or is there something I can do to fix it?
Edit: I've also noticed under internal storage it's only showing 23 GB available but this is the 64 GB model.

Did you format/wipe the system, data and caches - a complete factory reset ?
There are several things going on here.
1. Your device is corrupt message: This is a normal message that appears whenever you attempt to customize the device. It may also appear if there is an issue with the internal storage in general.
2. SuperSU: What version? You should be using the latest (2.76) or you risk having a bootloop.
3. TWRP: What version? Latest is 3.0.2-0. Older versions will offer to flash SuperSU. Don't accept the offer or you will enter a bootloop.
4. Internal storage: When you flashed the stock ROM you also flashed the userdata image in it, which caused you to lose half your storage. Simply wipe internal storage in TWRP to fix.
Your first thing is to fix your internal storage, which should be done through TWRP. From there, you will need to do a complete factory reset, as the failed encryption is the main reason you're getting a corrupt device warning. After the factory reset, restore the stock image, but do not flash userdata.img.
Thanks guys! Doing the factory data reset in stock recovery fixed it for me. It took about 30 minutes to complete, but now I've got root, twrp, and custom ROM and kernel with no issues.
Hi,
Due to an unsuccessful decryption during the boot process, I had to format data.
I pushed a custom ROM to my phone and flashed it from TWRP.
I can't reboot to Android now. Each time I try to reboot I go back to TWRP...
How to solve it?
Thanks.
@mad-murdock @nvertigo67 could you help guys?

try this
n your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
Reboot your device into fastboot mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Up] + [Power] buttons while your device reboots or boots from power off.
Once you're in fastboot mode, you need to unlock your bootloader. To do this, run the command:
fastboot oem unlock
WARNING: Unlocking your bootloader will erase all userdata on the device! Your device will be completely reset to factory defaults!
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you're ready to flash TWRP. To do this, run the command (replacing twrp.img with the actual image name):
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Once the image is flashed, you should use your volume keys to navigate to RECOVERY and the press the power key to select it.
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If your device asks for a password to mount internal storage, and your password doesn't work or you haven't set one, see below under known issues for a fix!
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU Stable by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
---or (not both) ---
If you want to be rooted with something else or just want a bootable system:
Download the latest dm-verity and forced encryption disabler zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
This will also allow you to use [Format Data] to completely disable your encryption if desired.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].
This is the TWRP thread... How can it help in my situation?
I flashed the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler zip, wiped all data and a custom rom. It doesn't help.

In twrp: Advanced->Terminal
In Terminal type wipe_misc and press enter. Reboot to system.
EDIT: this erases misc partition by dding /dev/zero to misc partition. (I've tested both, wipe_misc sceipt as well as dd by hand - it's safe; you will not loose anything [if there would be something on data... SCNR ])

Stay on twrp (3.0.3-1). Wipe art, system, data and cache. Flash full 4.0.2. Go to twrphome->mount and check if system is unmounted (*)- if so: boot to system; if system is mounted reboot to recovery and dirty flash (without any wipe) full 4.0.2 again; boot to system.
Whenever I had this boot to recovery but not to system, wipe_misc was allways sufficient.
BTW: disconnect usb before rebooting. otg-sticks as well charger result sometimes in unpredictable reboot behavior.
(*) I've still not found what's triggering this, but if after flashing system is mounted, you can't boot directly into system, and twrp tells you on reboot, that no system is installed, even if you just flashed a rom...

I ran into a similar problem with mine yesterday / today with 3.0.4-0....after countless tests, it came down to holding down the power button for 20s and releasing (hard shut down)...wait 20s, hold power for it to come back on, ROM loaded up.
I tried every boot option from TWRP, and just kept looping.
Give this a try, as trivial as it seems, fixed it for me.

I've flashed Tesla ROM and the phone boots. I'm charging my phone to enable encryption then I'll see how to set a boot password (without any issues this time lol).
I set a password to encrypt my data and flashed TWRP 3.0.1-0 again.
I'm not able to decrypt my data in TWRP...
After a reboot, the ROM doesn't recognize my password anymore. I'm fed up with encryption!

imo just the unbrick tool to go back to fully stock and start the whole process again
I had this issue with the password.
I had to flash the stock recovery, go into stock recovery, it will ask you for the password, just choose forgot password and it will prompt to format everything. Click yes to accept. After it formats, flash the custom twrp recovery. Once it flashes, load recovery and flash the 3.5.4 bootloader here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70393513&postcount=72
OR you can boot into bootloader/fastboot and type in these commands:
fastboot oem disable_dm_verity
fastboot oem enable_dm_verity

Thanks but I'll just enjoy my phone for now. Encryption can wait.
Only these two fastboot commands will avoid the wrong password issue? It seems to be helpful to remove the dm-verity error and I don't have it.
Sorry I guess I misinterpreted the issue. I thought that the dm-verity and the encryption issue were somehow linked. Anyway, the first few steps I took with flashing the stock recovery and wiping everything from stock recovery is what fixed the immediate encryption issue for me.
Hi guys,
Im using Note 5 N920C at lastest stock Nougat firmware (N920CXXS4CRA2)
i've got a very headache when try to flash twrp (to flash custom rom) but my N920C still get stuck at Samsung logo

3. Back to Stock FW, try to flash TWRP. This time reboot to Recovery, allow system modifications -> format data -> reboot to recovery -> flash supersu -> reboot and stuck again
4. Back to Stock FW, TWRP allow system modifications > wipe data> reboot recovery > allow system modification> wipe data, system,cache, dalvik/art > flashed 'dm-verity and force encryption disabler' > flashed 'super-su' > flashed Custom ROM -> Stuck again
5. If i flash Lineage OS (or CM rom) via TWRP, it works without any issue
...
As many time i tried to flash something, myphone still get stuck, i dont know why because my previos Note 5 seem to be very easy to root (at Nougat also)

1: Flash the rom after you wipe system, data & cache.
2: Let it boot for the first initial setup & setup your phone with language & country etc.
3: Restart your phone to twrp recovery then flash supersu & dm verity.
Let me know.

No.... After flashing stock through Odin, let the device boot for initial setup dude. Don't flash twrp...!
After the phone setup is done you can go back to download mode & flash twrp.
There is no need to format data for rooting your device dude.
Just flash supersu & no verity... You will be fine.
Stock rom or custom ROM follow my words.

In your first post you have stated that you are not able to flash custom rom but now you are telling me that your phone is stuck even when Flashed with stock rom....!
I'm confused about what's happening here because the methods you have stated will not work in any case scenario as base ROM is required to flash - root to system or any mods so without rom you can't root any phone by flashing supersu first before even flashing rom that's the logical here.
There is no my method or your method but there is a universal step by step method which you clearly need to understand.
But anyways I can't help you anymore as I have no video to assess your process.
As a last resolution I will suggest one more method, if you can boot your phone to stock recovery then you can reset your device by factory reset which will again wipe everything within the phone so proceed with caution(just mentioning) so once you wipe your phone through stock recovery. Let me know. It has to boot in my opinion.
Before you do this try to reflash official & latest firmware which will be the January security updates through Odin with default settings.
After you get Odin pass message, it will automatically reboot so wait for 30 minutes max. If nothing happens press & hold volume down & power key to reboot device & as soon as the screen goes off to reboot, you will have to enter to recovery mode by holding on to volume up, power & home key as you already will know (just mentioned) then wipe to factory reset. Reboot.
Let me know if this works.
If not I'm located in Bangalore so if you are from Bangalore then I might help you. Again no fees or charges (just mentioned)
Or
Try this rom:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/development/rom-t3607729
Or take it Samsung official Store to find out if your device has any issues with power chips or so..!

OK you have to state what version twrp you are flashing?
Now if it's just recovery then I would say to try TWRP 3.1.1.0 which is most stable version in my view.
Note: Re-download all Twrp tar, Supersu & no verity zip.
First flash twrp & then let the device boot to home screen.
Second reboot to recovery by hard keys.
If you see stock recovery go back to download mode flash twrp & go back to recovery without booting as you are doing but this time just swipe to allow modifications & reboot to recovery again.
Without flashing anything just reboot from recovery to system.
Thirdly if you device reboots to home screen then again get back to twrp recovery & now flash supersu & no verity zip & restart device. You should be able to solve this.

2. If ok then go to Recovery -> flash upersu & no verity zip & restart device
2.1 If still in stock then flash twrp again -> go to recovery -> allow modification -> reboot to recovery -> reboot to system
2.2 If cannot boot to Home Screen after First Step then flash twrp again -> go to recovery -> allow modification -> reboot to recovery -> reboot to system
Are those correct ?

Hi there it's not that difficult i've faced the same issue with my n920c
Solution: Install the TWRP recovery just like normal but when the device is rebooting and black screen shows up Press and Hold [Power+home+vol down] until you see TWRP screen
Please Note: this is really important to press and hold while rebooting ...
After this you can normally reboot to recovery there would be no problem
Good luck !

As the title suggest, I fail to boot into TWRP.
I have unlocked the phone and flashed TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/raphael/twrp-3.3.1-0-raphael.img).
I could boot into TWRP using Power + Volume Up , wiped everything (except vendor) and pushed a custom rom to the internal storage.
I restarted the phone for some reason and cannot boot into TWRP anymore. Whatever I do, I end up in fastboot. Tried to flash various versions of TWRP with the same result.
Can you guys help me out?
Edit: I flashed the corresponding Xiaomi fastboot image and repeated the process, same problem.
Edit: Solved by repeating again.

In future, don't wipe everything. You should only need to do the factory reset in TWRP, which will automatically wipe data, cache and dakvik. If you are flashing over MIUI then you will also need to format data.
There is almost never any need to wipe anything else in TWRP when doing normal custom ROM flashing.
Tried a bunch of things to make the TWRP installation persistent, but it just goes back to MIUI recovery when i reboot from the system.
I'm using TWRP 3.5.2 by Nebrassy.
USB debugging turned on
Correct drivers installed
fastboot devices work Using minimal ADB and fastboot
I have the file renamed as TWRP.img.
Steps i followed:
fastboot boot "TWRP.img" - Correctly boots into TWRP
install the TWRP image to the recovery partition - Happens with no errors
Reboot to system - No errors there as well
Reboot to recovery - Goes back to MIUI recovery.
Can someone please tell me what i should do?
PS: Tried with TWRP 3.6.0 as well just now. Same issue.

Try again to flash TWRP dirty and if it's started don't boot with software. You have to boot TWRP again by pressing volume + and power button until you'll get vibration , afterwards you'll be in TWRP again, clear dalvik and cache and restart system via TWRP menu

Sorry mate that didn't work. Still going back to stock recovery...
Since i didn't find a solution to make the installation presistant, i went ahead and flashed Elixir with the temporarily booted TWRP. Then wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the TWRP image, formatted data and then rebooted. Now it works.
Edit: This method did something to my recovery. I can boot to system and recovery fine but TWRP isn't able to mount the data partition. So i'm not able to flash anything or root the device anymore.
I tried formatting data, no luck.
Then tried repairing the data partition. No luck.
Changed the file system to EX2 and then EX4... Nothing.
Anyone know a solution for this?

Would that re-lock the bootloader? And if so do i have to wait 7 more days for it to be unlocked?
I used the Disable-Dm-Verity-Zip directly in TWRP after installation. Worked without a problem.

Also, any idea how i could get this fixed:

1. With MiFlash there is an option at the bottom of the screen to lock bootloader. Just make sure it is NOT checked, and you will be safe to use MiFlash without relocking bootloader.
2. When installing TWRP for first time, it is essential that your first reboot is straight back to TWRP - then it becomes persistent, and future reboots to recovery will be to TWRP. If you do not do the first reboot back to TWRP, the stock MIUI ROM recovery reinstalls itself.

The first ever twrp install i did, i rebooted to system by mistake but i reflashed twrp and made sure to reboot to recovery.... That was the second try. I think i may have tried at least two dozen times since that but it just kept booting back to stock recovery...
I think I'll run with this until the end of Jan and then redo everything from scratch...
