Luks error started way before I even thought of reinstallation attempt.

Well, yes, but if all you're doing is

> # cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 open_sda2

as you suggested, then those extra features aren't in play, and it'll
probably be more convenient to use the Qubes installation medium you
already have on hand. At any rate, I think we agree that both ways
will work. Whichever you prefer is fine.

My point was that some distros have live version (or even ISOs that are
especially meant to be used as a live tool such as Partition Magic),
that will be much more comfortable using in a clean GUI, than an ISO
which is meant as a bare installer - And you'll be less prone to
starting it by mistake if the installer isn't there ;-)

Kind regards.

Yes, this is the third thing I was asking about. However, it's not
necessary to use a live OS to do this. (You can if you want, of
course.) As I mentioned above, the Qubes installer will work fine for
this purpose if you switch over to a virtual console (e.g., ctrl + alt
+ F2). (Of course, you don't want to actually try to run the installer

I'm afraid that you may have, by starting a reinstallation over a
previous installation, already somewhat destroyed or reformatted your
LUKS partition, thus irremediably destroying all of its contents.

I would advise you to boot from a live distro such as Partition Magic
(Or an Ubuntu or Mint live CD), and WITHOUT starting any installer, try
to manually

# cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 open_sda2

...If your passphrase works that's good. if it doesn't, that's probably
dead.

Good luck !

So, if I understand correctly, your goal is to decrypt your previous
LUKS-encrypted Qubes installation so that you can recover files from
it, right?

== >> Yes please

When you attempt to boot this installation normally, what happens? The
same LUKS error as above?

== >> Same error after a long wait both in GUI & CLI

Have you tried accessing the disk from the command-line, e.g., using a
Live OS? (You can also just use the Qubes installer for this.) Or is
that what you were trying to do when you encountered the LUKS error
above?

== >> Yes please , with installation source media

1. Are you sure that you're entering the correct passphrase? 

Yes 

2. Where exactly are you seeing this error? 

During booting of Qubes R 3.0 OS

3. Is there more to it, or is that the whole error? 

GUI , its the whole error

4. In your system, what is /dev/sda2 (e.g., root partition)? 

Yes its one partition holding /root

--

So I tried to see if a reinstallation can happen.
During custom installation in GUI mode tried custom disk partitioning , gave 
the original passphrase which failed with a error as given.

---

I have the boot phase of Qubes OS (disk passphrase failure snapshots), which 
returns to the # prompt.
The boot process entered in to emergency mode 
The command console posted two red failed & two yellow DEPEND status

Failed  - Failed to start cryptography setup for luks-(hexacode log string)
