Just wanna share my experience, just did a dirty flash yesterday to the latest build and everything work well so far. A little bit of detail :

Was on 2018-11-something build, with more or less the same version on vendor firmware. Everything was working fine, I was just concerned about the obsolete security patches, thus the update.

Dirty-Flashed with latest lineageOS build (06/02/19), with 9.1.24-9.0-vendor-firmware.

What I did :

Boot to TWRP, clear Dalvik/ART Cache

Install vendor firmware, reboot back to TWRP

Install LineageOS + GApps (I use nano), clear Dalvik/ART cache again just to clean things up

Boot to system, first boot took like 3-4 mins but after that everything works flawlessly.

May I ask what's the purpose of flashing DFE? I've search around for a while and can't seem to find an answer.

From what I've read so far, I thought you need it for TWRP and magisk? Am I right? Or am I missing something?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] pmcmm:
DFE stands for Disable Force Encryption, meaning that people are flashing it to get rid of the standard encryption in Lineage.

Without encryption, all data is accessible to anyone that plugs your phone to a computer, regardless of knowing your security pin.

Meaning that photos, messages, and all info stored in the data partition of your phone is incredibly unsafe.

The reason why people want to do so? That's exactly what I was trying to find in that sequence of posts. I don't see any reason for it.

TWRP decrypts your disk when you want to perform any changes in your phone. In other words, the difference between encrypted and unencrypted in TWRP is that you need to type a password in the beginning, after all is the same.

As for magisk, it's a tool to give you access to root in your phone. There is no relation between DFE and magisk.

My guess is that several people are flashing DFE because they think it's part of the steps required to install Lineage, they couldn't be more wrong.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ImQseft:
Man, I've been away from xda and android for about a year and a lot has changed. I also think encryption is important especially so even when you lose your phone, you know your data is safe. I just wondered why people are flashing something to remove it. Thanks a lot for your explanation!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Some people flash dfe in order to facilitate making (non encrypted) backups of stuff for ease of moving between different ROMs.

Some think it will make their phone work faster because it won't have to decrypt stuff on the fly - I suspect that any performance gains will be very marginal.

But I suspect that many and possibly most people flash dfe because they read instructions that incorrectly tell them that it's needed when it's not.

It may have been more of a requirement several months ago when there was not twrp that could decrypt and view the filesystem but that is no longer the case.

My view is don't flash dfe at all but if you do then understand why you are doing it and if/why you cannot do without it - don't do it blindly.

I think there should be, as encryption is an option that you can turn on and off from the settings in other ROMs such as MIUI. However I can't help you there, I have no experience with DFE...

will dirty flashing be enough or do i need to clean flash?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Are you sure about that?

It's the vendor/firmware that encrypts and once patched with dfe will never encrypt thereafter until vendor/firmware is flashed again.

Just re-flashing the ROM is not going to affect encryption as far as I know.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
Yes - but the earlier advice was to flash the ROM and that's not going to have any effect on encryption - unless it's a stock ROM that includes its own copy of the vendor/firmware.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] joaomconde:
Thank you for testing.

After tinkering a bit I found the problem was because I had privacy protection enabled for all apps. (settings>location and security>privacy>Trust>privacy protection). it only worked after disabling it for whatsapp. Telling this in case someone searches for the same issue.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ipdev:
As [MENTION=7474994]pmcmm[/MENTION] noted, it is an option in settings.

Unless the DFE file everyone is using, does something completely different. It should be only removing the Forced part, the part that detects encryption, and automatically encrypts the device if it is not encrypted.

In lineage, the option to encrypt is under

Settings-> Security & location-> Encryption & credentials-> Encrypt tablet

Encryption takes time, the more space used (files) the longer it will take. So make sure you are fully charged.

Just make sure the rom (and recovery) you are using is compatible with the encryption.

Note:

Some roms will only let you encrypt if you are plugged into a charger.

Some roms may not work when device is encrypted.

Some custom recoveries may not work when device is encrypted.

You might find a rom that changes the encryption type.

- In this case, FDE is stock default. You may find a rom that is using FBE instead.

Here is a good place to start if you want to learn more about encryption. - Link

Stock on Poco is Full Disk Encryption. (FDE)

Hi, I'm coming from Oxygen Os which use not encrypted system. How can I migrate to this ROM?. I tried wipe (cache, system, dalvik), installed Firmware-ROM-GAPPS, reboot. Then a message appeared saying that the phone was being encrypted, after that a reboot, starting LOS but then it came back to twrp. Can anyone help me?. Thanks in advance

---------- Post added at 09:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

Finally I got it. How can I get root access?. I can only see "adb root" on developer options
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] :
Black screen or stuck at Setup Wizard

When I use LOS16 with GAPps, it stuck at the Setup Wizard and keep "loading" something.

When I use LOS16 without GApps, it simply blackscreen after boot.

From adb logcat, I observed the line:

"ServiceManagement: Waited one second for vendor.lineage.livedisplay@2.0::IDisplayModes/default. Waiting another..." appeared repeatedly. The HAL process seem to be crash again and aganib.

I can run RR, OMNI, AOSPExt .... normally.

Just install the vendor firmware again...

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:41 PM ----------

First install vendor firmware v9.1.24 you will find at the beginning of the LOS forum

---------- Post added at 06:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

[[[[Unless the DFE file everyone is using, does something completely different. It should be only removing the Forced part, the part that detects encryption, and automatically encrypts the device if it is not encrypted.]]]]

Unless you read script you'll never know what else the DFE you downloaded are are using does to your phone...

So careful with downloaded DFE.

[[[[In lineage, the option to encrypt is under

Settings-> Security & location-> Encryption & credentials-> Encrypt tablet]]]]

You get this option when it's "encryptable" in fstab.qcom , the entry file DFE is supposed to make.

For the encrypted phones this entry is "forceencrypt" -and this is the entry DFE he supposed to change to "encrypt" - DFE = Disable forceencrypt (FE)

[[[[Encryption takes time, the more space used (files) the longer it will take. ]]]

Under normal circumstances when you have "forceencrypt" it will encrypt on first boot

If you have "encryptable" you can encrypt it if you wish .

[[[[You might find a rom that changes the encryption type.]]]]

NO ROM CHANGES THE ENCRYPTION TYPE.

ENCRYPTION IS DONE BECAUSE OF THE VENDOR FIRMWARE

The file that is changed is

/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom

it is in the vendor partition and is installed with the vendor.

If it was a ROM dependent issue it would be in

/system

DFE do it yourself

as already mentioned many times in this forum: when we flash a new xxx-vendor-firmware.zip and reboot to system afterwards, userdata gets encrypted upon first boot.

To prevent this encryption, different DFE scripts are available at XDA. For the paranoid among us that don't trust these scripts I have good news: manual DFE is quite simple.

Perform these steps:

reboot to TWRP

install xxx-vendor-firmware.zip

(in TWRP) mount vendor partition

adb pull /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom

edit fstab.qcom: replace 'forceencrypt' by 'encryptable' in the userdata line

adb push fstab.qcom /vendor/etc/

reboot to system

[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] dalyer:
You don't need to reflash vendor/firmware unless you want to change it or undo dfe.

Whether or not dirty flashing between ROMS works depends.

You should backup first just in case it doesn't.

Not sure what you mean.

Worst comes to the worst you just do a clean install of everything.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other ] ipdev:
The user was looking to encrypt the device, easiest way is to simply encrypt it. It will stay encrypted until userdata is reformatted. So wiping or flashing roms, data will still be encrypted, regardless of forceencrypt or not.

I do not use (flash) a disabler zip file. I do not have it to look at so, I do not know what it does. From what I've seen posted by others, I am not sure everyone is using the same one. For all I know, one of them might be modifying more than just vendor.

Have I accidentally recommended anyone to flash it?

If you have a copy of this DFE.zip, could you unzip it and upload the updater-script (and any sequential scripts that it may execute) for us?

Yes I know about modifying fstab.qcom. Look back at my last reply to you (in the pe thread) and by the way I did note what I changed in /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom along with links to the twrp, miui stock, and pe that I used.

Note: Edit of fstab.qcom replaces forceencrypt with encryptable

To clarify, it looks like this.

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,noauto_da_alloc wait,check,reservedsize=128M,forceencrypt=footer,quota

--- Changed to ---

/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata /data ext4 noatime,nosuid,nodev,barrier=1,noauto_da_alloc wait,check,reservedsize=128M,encryptable=footer,quota

This does not remove encryption, it only changes it so the device will not automatically encrypt.

If you are encrypted it will stay encrypted.

You can still encrypt under settings if you wish.

If the rom (system) you are using supports encryption.

If you are not encrypted, you can encrypt your device without formatting userdata.

If you are encrypted, the only way to remove encryption is to format userdata.

Truthfully you can do the opposite also, just change encryptable to forceencrypt and reboot. The device should encrypt upon first reboot.

Yes you can change the encryption type used. Not sure if there is a POCO rom that uses FBE but, it is possible.

Pixel Experience for angler uses FBE. (The Nexus 6P default/stock is FDE by the way.)

As for encryption type: Follow the Link in my post you quoted.

It seems you are a big fan of googling, reading and learning.

source.android.com and developer.android.com are always good sites to search.

Now that I think of it, have you learned more on how adb and fastboot commands work yet?

Later.

P.S.

---------- Post added at 09:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

I don't think the user wanted to ENCRYPT the device. He wanted to decrypt it - like every other user wants to do.

If MIUI is not encrypted (and it is not - and that is how it is by default) a user will not want to encrypt it . Why mess with something working from the OEM?

But even if he wanted to , it's a matter of clicking one or two buttons in the settings - no need for DFE.

---------- Post added at 09:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:02 AM ----------

True ....

I do not flash it either...

Yes flashing different DFE can potentially introduce malware, depending on where you get it from.

If need be I change the setting in /vendor/etc/fstab.qcom myself in a text editor.

I will post how to change it later today or tomorrow.

You did your homework AFTERWARDS!!! That's very good !!

You didn't understand this in the earlier post, and that's why this discussion / correction came up. But the point now is you now understand it completely and that's all that matters.

[[[[

]]]]

Actually you don't remove the encryption, you just delete the encrypted data.

If you removed encryption then that data would be decrypted

And if your phone has forceencrypt enabled in the vendor firmware, then the new ROM data ( the new ROM you flash) would be encrypted on first boot
