Disable Force Encryption Android 11 2021: Disable Force Encryption Magisk

Disable Force Encryption Magisk Introduction

So, you are tired of Force Encryption and want a solution for this. There is no 100% guarantee working but taking best practices will help you prevent your device from getting Force Encrypted. So I will tell you how you can get rid of Force Encryption. But first, let me tell you the types of Force Encryption.

What is Force Encryption in Android?

Force Encryption appears when security is compromised by Rooting the device or Changing the ROM to Custom ROM. The smartphone detects when the device boot state has been tampered with. This is why the device encrypts the Data Partition to avoid a data breach.

Types of Force Encryption:

1. Force Encryption in Recovery: This is one of the Force Encryption types where your Custom Recovery asks you the Pattern or Password even if you haven’t set one. It happens because you forgot to remove the Screen Lock.

2. Force Encryption on Internal Storage: This is the second type of Encryption, where your Internal Storage shows 0MB or shows you the Folder with weird names. IT happens because you haven’t installed Disable Force Encryption Zip file after ROM installation, or you didn’t format data for the first time of the ROM Installation. It may also happen because the Recovery was not able to decrypt your internal storage.

3. Force Encryption on Custom ROMs: This is the third type of Encryption where after installing a Custom ROM and doing all the prevention steps, your ROM won’t let you boot to the System. This happens because of the ROM’s inline encryption. To fix this issue, the ROM must be decrypted.

It happens usually to ROMs with the initial build, but later that problem is fixed by the developers. Sometimes it may not always be the ROM’s problem, but it may be Recovery’s fault or kernel fault. So you have to check your own and figure out whose fault it is.

There is another way to resolve this issue. But you would have to Format the Data of the device. In doing so, your internal storage will be wiped completely, so make sure to backup your Internal before proceeding with Recovery Installation and later ROM Installation.
