Before 2020, Google introduced two massive hurdles to modding:

The result? You couldn’t boot a custom ROM without first wiping everything (losing internal storage photos) or getting stuck on the bootloader logo.

To understand the purpose of Disable-Dm-Verity-ForceEncrypt-03.04.2020.zip, you must first understand the two Android security features it targets. Disable-Dm-Verity-ForceEncrypt-03.04.2020.zip

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system"); run_program("/sbin/mount", "/vendor");

Rather than using an unknown 2020 ZIP, you can manually disable these via: Before 2020, Google introduced two massive hurdles to

# After booting to TWRP
adb shell
mount /data
echo "KEEPVERITY=false" >> /data/.magisk
echo "KEEPFORCEENCRYPT=false" >> /data/.magisk

Then flash Magisk, which will patch the boot image accordingly.

These ZIP files (flashed via custom recoveries like TWRP) modify Android’s boot image and system/vendor partitions to: The result

Starting with Android 5.0 Lollipop, Google mandated that new devices ship with "forceencrypt" flags in the fstab (file system table). This flag ensures that on first boot, the /data partition is encrypted using a key tied to the hardware (typically stored in a Trusted Execution Environment).

Why modders hate it: Custom kernels, Magisk patches, or TWRP backups often struggle with encrypted data partitions. Moreover, if you wipe or modify /data, the encryption flags can cause the device to re-encrypt on next boot, making data recovery or custom ROM installation a nightmare.
