Same problem here.

It seems to be a common problem of TWRP with Oreo, but after some research I found that modded versions of TWRP for other phone models have been released to solve the issue. So I hope something similar happens here.:D:angel:
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tgm28:
As you say :D

There is a fix for note 8 ( https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/fix-twrp-data-mount-issue-oreo-t3768928 ) <-- maybe this will help someone to create a fix for G6
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] russtyd:
Foolishly I upgraded from an earlier version to t2 as I was having problems with Oreo as described (I was using recovery_TWRP_H870-3.2.1-0_melina_exFAT_timefix_sdext_purple_v2.img) - before I upgraded to the latest t2 version it was possible to reformat DATA as EXT2 and then back to EXT4 and it cleared the issues around failing to access Data - with t2 this didn't work either so I couldn't restore my Nougat TWRP backup and my only option was to UPPERCUT the stock 20A KDZ so I'm now back to stock/unrooted.... at least for a while :)

So, not a fix but a workaround possible in whatever changed between latest and the older version of TWRP?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] tgm28:
This helped with "Decryption unsuccessful" screen :)

But still I cannot mount, access /data & internal storage in TWRP :(

Not sure what you are trying to do, but the old versions are still available.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jimbomodder:
None of the older versions of current ones work with official Oreo. That's the issues we are all facing. It's like early twrp versions where nothing mounted and 0mb shown for internal
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
I get that, but having the US997, I cannot address anything until I experience it myself, which won't happen until US997 gets Oreo.

Or I get enough donations for a H870, but thats unrealistic :D
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] jimbomodder:
Agree 100%, but never stops people moaning. Only way round I found was ,

flash Oreo kdz,

boot it and enable usb debugging,

Reboot fastboot and flash older 3.1.1.0 twrp for it to stick and open,

Manually reboot recovery via button combo.

Press cancel and swipe to allow modifications,

Format data and install your last recovery whilst in old twrp,

Reboot back to new twrp from old one and flash any zips needed then as it fully works at this point and reboot back to os.

After that it goes all weird
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mprovi_15:
I have H870 with 8.0.0 and with melina twrp installed. What I did was flash westwood modified 20A .zip to preserve twrp and flashed magisk 16.4 and melina twrp (I had it previously but wanted to be sure not to lose it).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] codGmer:
I also get cannot mount /data.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] mrbeem:
We need to wait for the fix. It will come at some point, but for now it's just the way it is. I for example am glad we at least have a possibility to acquire root and install xposed.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
To confirm:

Formatting data in current TWRP does NOT work, need to format with 3.1.1.0

Booting 3.1.1.0 does not show ROM data, instead requires formatting (somewhat common)

Once formatted, it continues to work with both the ROM and current TWRP

Correct?

If this is the case, please link me to a working 3.1.1.0 and I'll see what I can do without experiencing it. Perhaps 3.1.1.0 is doing something different in the format.

What happens if you Format Data in modern TWRP? Bootloop?
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Mikes:
The latest TWRP is working but you can't mount /data. On the first boot when you see the TWRP logo your phone will force reboot - when system boots up your TWRP will be gone but if you boot to the TWRP once your screen turns dark (the second after first TWRP boot) problem will be gone. Still can't mount /data though. I'm on the latest Melina and there is no bootloop issue.

Yeah, I read the OP. I guess a better question is - why should I care about those items? It looks like the wipe lockscreen security thing might be useful. But other than that ... I suppose if I don't know why those other things are important, then I guess I don't need. :)

I'm currently on the latest android 7 security patch (US99717a). AFAIK, LG hasn't pushed android 8 to the US997 yet, no?

Cheers!
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
LG has pushed v20a for the US997, my FOTA is installing as we speak, and a test build of melina is already waiting. Then I will start addressing TWRP.

LG has some weird encryption module going on. I added their lgesecurity_3.18 module from their OpenSource archive to the kernel, but there are still missing pieces. After spending 12+ hours on it, I called it for now. I will look into it more in spare time but wanted to get the oreo release out. I'll also save your link to see if it has some relevance, though I do think its LG's custom module. I'd love to get encryption support enabled.

Well I didn't flash the zip so I couldn't get TWRP to stick
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
Note: LGE uses forceencryption now. TWRP does not currently support encryption, so you will have to wipe whatever data there is when flashing TWRP. For LG Oreo Stock, you will need to disable forceencrypt or the OS will re-encrypt data each reboot.. You can do this by either flashing my Melina kernel, or manually editing /system/fstab.lucye, replacing the string "forceencrypt" with "encryptable".

EDIT: Posted this in the Melina Kernel thread, but it is about TWRP so I will post it here too:

For those having problems with their kernel, please note the following:

All versions of TWRP have a strange issue on our devices where sometimes (seems more promiment in my releases tho), when you flash a emmc (like boot, recovery, etc), it doesn't actually stick until reboot.

What this means is, if you flash a rom (with boot.img), then flash melina, then flash magicks, you just flashed boot.img 3 times, and it gets messy. The surefire way to do it is as follows:

Boot Recovery

Install ROM

Reboot recovery

Install Melina

Reboot recovery

Install Magisk

Reboot system (or reboot recovery again if you have more things to do against boot.img)

Both Magisks and Melina read back the boot.img partition, and in doing so, if you have not rebooted, sometimes returns a mix of both the new and old boot.img.

Basically, don't flash boot.img more than once per TWRP session. Simply use TWRP's "reboot recovery" option each time you flash boot.

Latest version had issues restoring compressed System backups (from US997v20) for me - it was stopping around 1536KB (out of ~3000KB) and then crashing/hanging on TWRP splash screen. Rolling back to 18-05-18 version helped and I was able to restore system. I've tried on two separate backups (both compressed) and system partition was the only one having issues.

It was always unclear to me for some reason; "Integrated Melina Kernel into TWRP build system" means I don't have to flash your custom kernel because it's already included in twrp install? Thanks for your hard work.
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
No, it means TWRP runs Melina.

Recovery and OS have seperate kernels. If you want Melina during normal operation, you have to install the kernel.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] Mikes:
It's integrated into Arise installer and this module only provide compatibility for Magisk root solution. Since TWRP get stuck while installer attempt to install compatibility module there is no point in installing Arise at the moment because it wont work without it. I checked a few modules and I couldn't install any trough TWRP so I presume it's TWRP bug.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
Nougat and Oreo have significant enough changes where you have to use a separate TWRP for each.

So if you are trying to use Nougat, be sure you flash rel_t2 instead of rel_o2.

Also make sure you downgraded your bootloader (use a kdz or westwood24 zip), otherwise you may run into issues (such as fingerprint or wifi not work).
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chainrulez:
I have used rel_t2 and it worked perfectly. I could accessed Data after format then I Wiped everything and installed Rom. All were ok just when I go to TWRP it always ask me password again.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] zefie:
try the anti-root remover in the op. even though I made it for oreo, it has enough sanity checks where it should work on nougat (or just not apply anything). Its safe.

[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] chainrulez:
I just formatted Data again, used your patch and installed rom again, all good so far now. So for some reasons encryption keeps coming if you don't apply patch. I will update here if anything goes wrong again. Thank you so much for your help :)

how do i install the new version just flash throug twrp??
[LG G6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developme] BigBrad75:
Short answer, yes

Long answer,

Youll have to first extract the recovery image from the .zip file you've downloaded. Extract using just about any file explorer (fx file explorer, es file explorer, etc) or archiver (7zip or rar for android, 7zip or winrar for windows).

It will leave u with an .img file, which can be flashed threw twrp or using adb/fastboot on your pc (by connecting to yr pc, enabling usb debugging, execute the adb command 'adb reboot bootloader' and then flash the recovery partition, using the command: fastboot flash recovery C:/YourPathToTheFileHere/recovery.img ), just remember if using twrp you'll have to select "select image" on bottom right after choosing to install, then pick the recovery.img file you just extracted, and you'll want to flash it to the recovery partition obviously. (Just giving the full blown instructions in case someone reading this thread sometime down the road wasn't familiar with this process whatsoever)

If you have had it for only 5 days can't you return it and get a replacement? I guess that depends on where you got it from, but usually you have a week of two to exchange it. Just make something up as an excuse - software problem, etc - so they don't notice the scratches right away ;)
