How many times have I used RM Forceencrypt?

1. I upload to the supersu.zip device

2. I enter the TWRP I am doing RM Forceencrypt

3. Restart device

4. I enter TWRP, installs supersu.zip

5. I'm doing RM Forceencrypt

6. Restart the device

Is it supposed to look like this?

Got the same problem.

Tried several usb ports, different Win10 PCs, several usb cables and QFIL versions. Error remains.

I also disabled Win10 driver verification. No success.

Any chance to get the job done here?

Edit: It cost me a lot of time and a lot of tries, but finally I got it. I don't really know how I solved it. But at the end I flashed TWRP of this thread as fast as I could after using "adb reboot edl". Then I spammed Download in QFIL (I hate this tool...). After many tries I got TWRP running. And then I immediately flashed the new modified TWRP 3.2.1 from lineage thread.

At the end, I got a running custom rom.

No luck with an "untouched" device on stock ROM S000035 – 'Sahara' problem persists

ERROR: function: sahara_main:854 Sahara protocol error
ERROR: function: main:265 Uploading Image using Sahara protocol failed

For two days, I tried everything I could find including what I found here, on two different PCs, one running Windows 7, one Windows 10. The tablet has developer mode, OEM unlocking and USB debugging enabled. It's a TB-8703F device with ROW firmware.

Installed Lenovo USB drivers 1.1.41, Qualcomm USB Host drivers 1.00.40.5, QPST 2.7.460. (Tried other versions, too. installing software and copying TWRP files into different locations and drives. Tried copying TWRP files in QPST bin folder.) Started QFIL and opened TWRP files as documented. Fully shut down tablet. Started tablet with pressing and holding Volume+ key and connecting to PC. Qualcomm port showed up in QFIL (first time immediately, in following attempts I had to "choose port" from list). I clicked "Download", and after a minute the "Sahara" error showed up. Tried different USB ports, and tried after disconnecting any retrofitted USB 3 ports. Nothing.

I wonder whether there still might be something left that I can try...
