Help... I accidentally ran my phone completely dead, upon restarting it, and plugging in charger, it turned on and then off. Now i'm getting a message that reads: ENCRYPTION UNSUCCESSFUL encryption was interruppted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To reume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account. I do not want to lose anything on my phone most importantly my pics, music, and contacts. frankly i don't want to lose anything on my phone. I tried flashing the 4/23 over to see if that would have worked but to no help. Any ideas? PLEASE!!
Also should mention that i can access CWM. I can see all of my past nightlies, and my last back up...in CWM. Should i restore my last backup, will that fix the issue and not lose my internal things?

Okey, my problem is this.
I have installed the phone locator beta from their website. Like the name says it's an app to see where your phone is if it gets stolen, wipe it through sms and do some other stuff. I did not manage to finish the application setup cause I got a phone call during the process. After that I'm locked out of the phone and the phone screen keeps shutting down. It instantly shuts back down after I turn it on. It stays on for like half a sec sometimes, sometimes less. I have managed to uninstall the application through adb to no avail. I have made a backup through recovery also hoping I will be able to restore it without getting the same problem.
But it appears that if I restore the data I get the same thing happening.
Other things I have tried:
Reflashing ROM. It's the stock one from Vodafone.
Reflashing CF-Root Kernel.
Trying to figure out which process I have to kill through adb. But I'm not experienced enough with this to do it.
Trying to remove everything about the app I find out. Still did not work.
Anyone has another idea. I really had a lot of data I don't want to lose.
Thank you.
Update: Solved in post 3.

What I would do is enter recovery mode. From there mount usb storage and transfer everything that's important to PC. Then wipe everything, format system, format sd card and reflash a ROM through CWM. Obviously mount again usb storage to push the ROM from PC to sd card. Maybe it's a little drastic but I can't think of anything else since I'm not a pro user or anything. Well, just an idea.
Hey thomas. Thanks a lot.
I think that's a great idea. At least it's something I did not try and might work well.
I just found out that you can enter usb storage from recovery, right now it seems I can only see the /mnt/sdcard partition. I will play with it a little to see if I can mount the other partitions before mounting USB. I think the application data is in /data/data am I right?
Okey I have managed to fixed it in the most stupid way possible.
I have noticed that if I leave the screen off for like 15 seconds then I get like 2 seconds window before the screen turns off again. I have managed to go to the screen timeout settings and it seems like the application changed that to a very low value as none of the defaults value were ticked. I have ticked the 1 minute value and now the screen stays on.
I have uninstalled the app and I'm really afraid to test it again I should probably make another backup in this state
Hello,
Basically, my phone works. I can call, sms, photograph and so on, but:
When I try to flash new rom, via Kies, Odin or other tool everything goes smoothly, blue progress bars advance and complete, phone reboots, and ... I have old rom, nothing is changed, no data is deleted.
When I install new apps they work until I power off phone. After power on new and updated apps are gone, deleted SMS are back, it looks like the phone inside was frozen in time some time ago and all that is going on is going in ram or some virtual machine, and vanishes.
It happened some weeks ago, I cannot recall when exactly. Something I installed was suddenly missing and SMS after reboot came back, but I ignored it then like a sporadic glitch.
I just discovered, that I also can't do factory reset. System recovery <3e> shows, but doing wipe data or wipe cache has no effect. Nothing gets wiped, apps and data remain intact. The only unusual thing I see in the recovery console is:
Can't access to '/system/csc/PLS/system/'
Is it a virus or is it just broken or what?

I suggest doing a deep clean...
Hi every one,
I have an HTC Amaze 4G phone which I had rooted properly and flashed speed rom successfully. I had an issue with the phone's contacts so every now and then the contacts memory goes blank and shows "Zero Contacts". After a few minutes it comes back to the original state and shows all contacts again. I tried to restart the phone when the issue occurred but it did not help. I thought I might have installed a software which is causing this issue so I did a factory reset.
After the factory reset, to my surprise, my phone was unrooted. I can't understand why that happened? Can anyone please tell me the solution to both problems?
re-root

During Factory Reset, root gets overwritten being in one of the system folders. As for contacts, there may have been corrupt contacts. If your contacts are backed up to google, then now that you've run factory reset, they should be fine. You can test the contacts after each install you do to find out if there is an offending app.
Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.
