Issue: How to unencrypt my mtk6763v soc device?
20-07-2019, 08:19 AM
Hi, I have a Leagoo Power 5 recently bought and after I installing the Twrp I saw on the recovery that it asked for a password, and found out it was encrypted, so I found a workaround (Too long), and now I am rooted, but I have 2 main issues:
1- The phone is encrypted, which means I can't have access to any partition in Twrp (I am a Porter, so I wanted to try some Treble Gsi Roms on it, now can't).
2- The fingerprint option is not existing in the settings. Is that because of the encrypted phone?
BTW, I have unlocked the bootloader.
So, how can I fix this encryption without loosing my data? I wanted to back up in Twrp at least in case, but I can't.
Thanks.

1. if twrp requests for password to decrypt data then you should be able to access other partitions asides from userdata and you need to format /data then flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip and magisk.zip
BUT if it's that you're unable to mount (TWRP>mount) then you should unpack recovery and check /ramdisk/etc/*.fstab
copy and replace the values from fstab in stock recovery
2. No
you can't remove encryption without loss of data unless you wish to try a different recovery e.g philz, better you backup your files to an external storage

Hi and thanks for your reply!
Currently, in TWRP, I can't mount local partitions, and OTG is not working, but Micro SD partition is mounted.
I ported Philz for this device and even if it does not show any password, partitions are not mountable.
I can't mount the data in TWRP, I think formatting the phone in SP Flash does the same thing right?
But even with that, I can't get the phone decrypted and regarding the FInger print I read in many forums that it is because the phone is encrypted that it does show this option in the settings.

First, are you able to mount other partitions apart from Userdata? This will tell us if you're to sort mount point issues first or we can proceed with how to decrypt userdata

backup your files to your PC
download magisk.zip and no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0.zip to ext_sdcard
format /data partition in twrp
flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip first
then flash magisk.zip
then reboot twrp and check if it still requests for data decryption or not

Did you flash patched boot img? If not check this thread: https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-21427.html
If your boot.img is patched then you will have access to TWRP. When entering into TWRP you will be asked with TWRP. Tap on cancel. The first thing you need to do after tapping cancel is Format Your device by using: Wipe >> Format Data >> Yes.
After format, you can use TWRP to either backup/flash ROMs.
Alternatively you can also flash no-verity-opt-encrypt and Magisk. Above method worked for me.

So, I can't back up my data right now until I format the data, correct?

It seems this is a sticky issue here..
