A couple of things were missing from these instructions and that was which file system to select. I read other instructions that told me to select EXT2, then swipe to repair, then go back and select EXT4 and swipe to repair. After doing that, mine was fixed. Very much appreciated for your video. It has taken me all day but your instructions were what got me going again.

Great explanation about why it is encrypted at the first place, thanks

[DEEPAKSV]

Both removing password & updating TWRP worked for me. Thanks for the instructions

Actually worked. First i thought its bs because everybody knows "indian scam tools".

But THIS guy was a real help on fixing this error on my xa1 😁

No download, no bullsh*t. Just a working guide!

Thanks mate! 🥰

Thank you. Going to wipe, click formate to ext2 then formate to ext4 fixed it for me.

im not using any pin or password it is still asking for passowrd, which makes this tutorial useless for most cases.

Please help I managed to root my phone using the stocked image but the problem is it’s still encrypted. Using twrp I can’t repair the data partition because it will not give me that option. I can’t flash no verity encryption zip because is says operation not permitted. I have no password or Lock Screen on my phone and I tried default_password but nothing seems to work

[sachinr]

I was trying to factory reset my phone and it had a fingerprint lock ...now am stuck on "type password to decrypt storage" ... every password I type shows correct but says data on my phone is corrupt so factory reset...then same story repeat it's like 30+ times I tried

Thank you very much! Your video helped me and now I can do everything)

Can persist error be fixed?

[Flipbug_The_Whimsical]

in my case, the answer was: flash new recovery :)

[roywx]

Thank you very much. It worked for me.

After the format how i can add the rom itself i want becuase its on my internal storage

[ultrafrogz]

for 3 years i've been looking for this solution, turns out my TWRP is the problem

[hmm-m]

Great tutorial, but nothing helped unfortunatelly for me but I don't want to wipe my data. So a question: When I enter Wipe/Advanced, I do not have option to repair Data, only to Change filesystem which is currently EMMC. Maybe changing it to Ext4 would help? When I check System instead of Data, there is repair option and I see that System has Ext4 filesystem in use.
