so after i unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp 2.8.7.2, rebooted boot loader and went into recovery, i was greeted by twrp but it asked me for a decryption password (which i never set up) and Heisnberg said I wouldn’t have worry about here under section 3 of how to decrypt the data partition "This is no longer necessary as long as you use TWRP 2.8.7.1 or newer". So I tried making a nandroid backup as normal, but that failed because twrp couldn’t get to the data partition, unlike what Heisnberg said. So i just restarted the phone, and now I’m in a boot loop (about to flash factory image now).
So what I want to know is what twrp ppl use, do you have to do the decrypt data partition step, and the practical differences between systemless and nonsystemless root? why would anyone want to do systemless root if it doesn’t work with all root apps?
Thank you so much for anyone who replies :angel:
