[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] static416:
It just occured to me, that despite encrypting my device, I can boot into TWRP recovery and flash things to various partitions without entering a password.

Doesn't that essentially mean that the encryption key must be stored somewhere by TWRP in a clear (unencrypted) form?

If so, doesn't root basically render device encryption meaningless? Sure the average phone thief might not care to crack into it, but it would probably be trivial for anybody with a little technical knowledge and time on their hands. And police probably have a step-by-step process for cracking rooted devices.

Does root compromise encryption?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
To answer your exact question, no, root doesn't compromise encryption. Root and TWRP are two separate things, you can have TWRP without root. However, TWRP does allow access to your data without requiring authorisation.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
Doesn't "enable Password on Boot" in Settings/Security, force a password onto TWRP as well?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Yeah that's a good point, I don't use that feature as I find it annoying so I forgot about it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
The only way your data is truly encrypted (in my opinion) is doing just that.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] static416:
Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for.

I don't know why it didn't occur to me earlier. I'm glad I don't have to choose between security and usability (root, TWRP, etc).
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
i was thinking about this today actually, because my phone has no encryption (both system and userdata).

However, with purenexus rom and cerberus if your phone is ON when it's stolen, you can essentially prevent someone from booting into recovery since the normal power menu is not available, and pressing and holding the power button for 10 secs just reboots the phone into OS again which is locked. Also, the USB defaults to charging, so data is inaccessible.

is there a way boot into recovery in a situation such as this?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimSnoopOS:
They can hold Power and volume down to boot right into bootloader (and subsequently recovery) from lockscreen. I did this last night since restoring my TWRP 3.0 backup locked me out of my 5X lol

Edit: just want to be clear, I do not have Cerberus. idk if it blocks the above combo as well
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
You're right, that way definitely works. And I'm not sure that it it can block that tbh
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent:
Keep in mind that when your data is encrypted and a boot password is used, they may can get into the bootloader, but they can not get inside your system. They will have to wipe it to get anything on it that will work.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2x4:
Thanks for the clarification. Is there any way to get the boot password feature without encrypting my data?

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virenlr:
Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow is better.

Use Google, you can find out why.

And if you're asking specifically about our device, then Android Marshmallow is better. The battery life in marshmallow CM is twice that of lollipop thanks to Doze and the new enhancements to battery life.

Lollipop is at End Of Life.

Look at all the people with bricked devices as a result of the upgrade. Plus you can't view the content of your phone on your PC not can you load any files to your your memory card.. My advice stay with lolipop til there is a solution to these issues. Just saying ...

---------- Post added at 05:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 AM ----------

Another question is that if Marshmallow is so good why are so many people installing it , not liking it and bricking their phones in an attempt to downgrade...? BTW I up graded my phone to 6.0 using the xt1069 Brazilian version with the TWRP recovery method and then downgraded back to 5.0.2 using the easy installer with not problems at all. It's only when I used the Indian soak test there my phone bricked whilst trying to downgrade.

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iG0tB0lts:
Well it depends

Stock 6.0 is good, but when it comes to multitasking IMO it slows down . Also 6.0.1 has better improvements.

CM13(6.0.1)/Custom 6.0.1 is great, but the touch screen bug is a deal breaker for me. It messes up scrolling in Firefox, aiming in games is really really bad, and some games do not respond to touch at all.

Stock 5.0.2 is too slow for me, it's bad at multitasking

Custom 5.1.1 (on slimsaber ATM) is the android version/ROM that works best on me.

Don't take my opinion as final, test out the ROMs for yourself! :)

check the last page of the rom thread for my review. Make sure that once you complete setup wizard, go to settings>sound&notif>other sounds and disable screen locking sounds and touch sounds. Don't forget to do this immediately otherwise it may result in heavy AudioMix wakelock. I recommend highly CM12.1 decipher kernel with this ROM for battery.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HTCMDA:
Phone: T-mobile Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)

Android: Touch Wiz 4.4.4 FOH3 (Stock rooted)

Updated some apps in the app store, while they were installing I got dressed. When I picked up my phone it just shut off.

Thinking it was a dead battery, I plugged it in while in the car. It still doesn't come on. After awhile it would power on, I'd see galaxy s4 logo then the phone would shut off again.

Sometimes it would make it all the way to the T-mobile splash screen, and in some cases it would completely boot up into the phone, but then shut off again.

If I boot into recovery, the phone shuts off as well. Sometimes I can see recovery for 2 seconds then the phone will shut off...other times the entire screen turns bright pink

Now, before you tell me I have a stuck/bad power button. I can boot into download mode and the screen stays on the entire time. So how can that happen if the power button is stuck?

I've reflashed the stock 4.4.4 t-mobile rom and the problem still happens.

So maybe it is a faulty/bad/stuck power button. OR what I think is the case, one of those apps that updated had some bad code or malicious things happening that overload the ram.

How can I wipe my dalvik and other cache partitions to test that theory, if I cannot boot into recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HTCMDA:
Update:

Had the power button replaced and even tested a different battery. The issue still happens......So I dunno wtf the deal is. I've also managed to get twrp back on and wipe dalvik and cache, still stuck in reboot.

Maybe my processor is over heating and I need a new phone or logic board?

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
To downgrade use this guide : Click Here

Reason why I'm not linking you to the easy installer script is because while you downgrade you shouldn't flash the lollipop bootloader on the marshmallow one. So while flashing firmware don't flash motoboot.img as that is the bootloader file.

And it should go smoothly and won't brick your device. (Worked perfectly for me).

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
No actually I was on cm 13 and I downgraded to 5.0.2. IMO I'd suggest you don't even downgrade but just flash a stable 5.1.1 custom ROM (cm snapshot, RR 5.5.9, slim saber etc). When I upgraded to 6.0 ota I didn't want to downgrade (because of the ever growing hard brick club) so I just flashed twrp and clean flashed cm 13 (which is way better than the stock 6.0).
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darpan1041:
So firstly I should root stock 6.0, then flash TWRP and then flash cm13 ROM after cleanup? Correct
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
You don't need to root to flash TWRP. Just download TWRP 3.0.0-0 and flash via fastboot.

Then clean flash cm (wipe system, data dalvik cache and cache).
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darpan1041:
So flashing CM13 won't make any changes to stock 6.0 OTA's bootloader and so wont hard brick the device. Correct?

U did the same?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagar846:
Flashing TWRP has got nothing to do with the bootloader. It just replaces the stock recovery and modifies the system so that twrp is not replaced by stock recovery.
