"Encryption Unsuccessful" Help!

Due to a stupid mix-up while reading instructions, I did not remove lockscreen security (I was on stock encrypted rooted N 4.5.15). Obviously, the OB2 rom wouldn't boot up (bootloop from oneplus logo). :rolleyes:

Anyway, I had done nandroid backup just before flashing this rom; tried restoring it - booted up. But then I got this new message : "Encryption Unsucessful", It was asking me to reset the phone. I promptly went back to recovery and did a factory reset; still the same message. Wiped everything, got stock ROM onto internal and flashed again - same error. :(

Can someone help me please? I don't mind going to either N/O as long as it is up and running. Thank you.

Solved :

Went into boot loader and selected "boot recovery". I expected to boot into the Blu_Spark Recovery that I had but instead I went into some other menu asking me to select language (there was a OnePlus logo on top). From there I selected "Install from adb" and from PC did adb sideload the OB2 zip. IT WORKED!

I was going to delete the post originally but decided to add my update just in case anyone has same troubles as mine and isn't as lucky stumbling into solutions :silly:

Finally, a general question : How did I get this recovery? I am assuming this is the stock recovery (I haven't seen before, got TWRP as soon as got the device)
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] chrisch91:
How is the eis on videos? Does it work? It doesn't work for me on 7.1.1 stock an i am thinking to upgrade to 8.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ulxerker:
Yeah, this is stock recovery and it has replaced your custom recovery because you weren't rooted in the first place. If not rooted, OOS installs stock recovery automatically, that's why your phone has booted into it.

Ok. So should i stay on beta or move to this new build.

which one wud be better
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] skyknife93:
That depends on you really. If you need to have the absolute latest and greatest (not sure, as they're both the same, save for security patch) go for the stable build. If you don't mind a few bugs, stay on the beta, it'll get more frequent updates but with slight risk of a few bugs. I ran my OP3 on all the betas, so i can say they're pretty stable.

The rest is your choice. As for me, I'm staying on the beta. Also keep in mind, switching between stable and ob streams may not always go so smooth.

Root this rom

Can anyone guide me on hoe to root this, cause I've seen many people soft bricking while rooting this rom
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Johnny_B:
Alright guys, I'm confused. About flashing procedure, and no verity zip.

First my current setup: OOS 4.5.15 rooted with magisk, and Blu Spark kernel. Fingerprint and pattern are enabled. Device is encrypted.

I've tried several times to flash OB2, with only endless bootloops as a result.

I've never flashed the no verity zip, simply because I don't know what it's for.

TL;DR: can anyone explain in detail what the no verity zip does, and how I can successfully upgrade to Oreo from my current setup. Do I have to disable the pattern before flashing, do I have to flash no verity zip, etc.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

1-Format Data in recovery.

2-Flash Oos ob3.

3-Flash Magisk 14.6. If you got a red error. Reboot to recovery. If you got stuck, reboot to recovery with Power button. Reflash Magisk v.14.6.

4-Reboot to recovery to see if it works.

5-Recovery OK > reboot to system.

After booting the system and set it up go to Magisk app and upgrade it. It works.

Does anyone have a fix for data recovery? did a clean flash coming from latest xxx, had bootloop back to twrp, no option to decrypt, files are all still there, just in mixed random number/letters format. So surely there is a way to recover the files or data without having to wipe.
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gursimar:
Unfortunately no way. I have just done resetting up my phone again. Was in same state as you and only option is to format data which will wipe internal storage.

Tough luck man!! I can feel ya!!:(
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman478™:
1) from recovery wipe cache/dalvik/art and system (if you don't wipe system it gives error 7 at least on my phone)

2) flash open beta 3 and after it finished reboot to recovery again

3) (if you try to flash magisk after flashed the rom and not rebooted it can give error 7 again, at least on my phone) flash magisk 14.6 (and if you are decrypted no verity zip FOR OREO)

4) clean cache dalvik/art

5) reboot to system

6) after phone is booted open magisk and check if it's working, if yes and if you're connected to internet it ask you to update to latest version so..

7) ..reboot to recovery and flash latest magisk (15.1 for now)

this guide is for decrypted and for who comes from oreo already not from NOUGAT

---------- Post added at 19:59 ---------- Previous post was at 19:57 ----------

I think you've lost everything, you can only format and take device decrypted in future (trust me, you will be spared from a looooot of annoying problems)

[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hitman478™:
No, if you don't reboot to system it WILL NOT OVERWRITE the recovery with the stock one, so you don't need to reflash blu TWRP

The only thing you've to be sure to not reboot to system until magisk and/or no verity oreo are flashed

You can jump from step 1 to 3 (of course flash the rom), i had put the reboot only if you have problems with error 7 while flashing magisk or rom

3. Flash Beta 2 in blusparks twrp

After flashing I let it boot. I have my data back.

Edit: Tried to OTA Update to Beta 3. Bootloop and encrypted data. Guess I have to backup and clean flash. Or wait for an TWRP Update.

Edit2: No Wifi/LTE Signal on Beta 2, just flashed Official Oreo and everything works. I will wait for an TWRP update. I guess there have been some changes with encryption stuff? Those of you using Beta 3 and encrypted Data, can you see your data in TWRP?
