Duress recovery

notatliia

I was trying to access the secure storage area. And, I input my duress pin. You know what happened next. I have my recovery seed. And, I booted into the recovery mode. But, I am not really sure what to do next. Any tips would be appreciated. I was about to do a clean install anyway. But, I do have a few photos I didn't back up.

notatliia I have my recovery seed.

Does "recovery seed" mean "SeedVault passphrase"? If so, and if SeedVault backups are available off the device (such as on a USB drive) then after a reset the setup wizard will offer to do a SeedVault restore.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the duress pin is permanent, no recovery

americanDude The reason I think I am able to recover is at the top it says GrapheneOS Recovery google/tokay/tokay16BP4a.xxxx user/release-keys
I am prepared to fresh install. Just thought I would try to recover if possible.

Its not, your files are gone. There is no way to recovery any data what so ever from the device itself, only from a backup from another device.

The entire point of this feature is that it cannot be undone. No recovery, nothing, the decryption keys are gone.
