'Type password to decrypt storage' PROBLEM! (Moto G XT1032)



Hello everyone,

Today I (tried to) flash a new custom ROM on my falcon.
This wasn't the first time I flashed a custom ROM, but this time it went wrong.
To start with, I accidently took a Android 4.4.2 custom ROM (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2756571 v.0.3), but using a Android 5.x bootloader.
It flashed correctly and also booted just fine, until I got a message stating that I should enter a password to decrypt storage. My previous custom ROM was Paranoid Android 5.1 and I indeed encrypted my storage (something that I will never do again), but if I insert the password used in Paranoid Android it says 'try again'.
I searched xda-developers and some said to delete cache and user data, so that is what I did (using Cyanogen Recovery).
But deleting user data and clearing the cache didn't work. I now no longer have USB-debugging enabled and my laptop is not recognizing my phone.
I also tried ADB, but it isn't recognizing it etc.
After like 4 hours of trying and looking at forums, I am getting hopeless.

Anyone encountered this problem too (and solved it perhaps)?
I would be really greatful to get my phone working again, I have downloaded the previous ROM I had on my laptop, so I can flash it on phone once I have a solution.
For now, texting on a stone-age Samsung phone without WiFi or touch :p So I need help ASAP

Thanks!

[GUIDE] Decrypt your OnePlus One



So you thought that encrypting your OnePlus One was a good idea? So did I. I had so many issues after having encrypted my One that I simply wanted to get rid of it. After a lot of searching, I didn't come across a simple guide to decrypt it. And here I am :)

First thing first. Did you know that TWRP doesn't do a _full_ nandroid backup? It backs up everything _except_ /data/media. That was basically the reason why I'm writing this.

What you need:
  • An unlocked bootloader

  • TWRP recovery (I was using 2.8.6.1 but any version might just work)

  • An USB-OTG dongle with a memory stick that is large enough to hold all the data

  • A full battery


Here are the steps:
  1. Go into TWRP recovery and make a backup. Be sure to select the usb_otg as the target location for your backup

  2. Go into TWRPs terminal and make a backup of your /data/media folder. When starting the terminal, you will be asked in which folder you want to start. Navigate to "/data/media" and ckicl "select". I used tar to achieve this. Simply type in "tar cvpzf /usb_otg/datamedia.gz ." (Note: there is a dot a the end!) and it will create an archive with everything in it including permissions.

  3. Now wipe your device. *scary* I know... Still in TWRP go to "Wipe", "Format Data" and type in "yes". This won't just wipe your data but also wipe the encryption

  4. Since our device is basically empty, we just have to restore eveything. Let's start by restoring the nandroid backup

  5. After the nandroid backup, let's restore /data/media. For this go back into TWRP terminal. Starting folder will be "/data/media" again. Type in "tar xvpzf /usb_otg/datamedia.gz ." (Note: there is a dot a the end!) to restore everything.


There you go... OnePlus One decrypted! :)
