[Q] "Encryption unsuccsesfull"- need help!!! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Have Defy with Cm10 installed. Tried to downgrade back to Cm9 that was backed up on my phone from before and after booting up with the new system this massage appeared:
"Encryption unsuccsesfull
encryption interupted and can't complete. As a result the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone, you must preform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have the opportunity to restore any data that was baked up to your google account." and a button of "Reset phone" below it.
Tried to do factory reset and to reflash the system but this massage keps appearing with nothing I can do.
Can not use the phone! Please help!!!

Phone wont wipe cache/factory reset?

I just used Matt's utility to sbf and clean install .181 (same version I was on previously).
Once completed, the phone booted to the M logo, showed Andy with a cereal box, installed a package (status bar filled with orange), then rebooted and won't proceed past M logo.
I force shutdown and go into recovery, and select Wipe Cache - and the phone does nothing.
Any ideas?
I then thought it may be the download, so I downloaded the SBF and used RSD lite and tried again... no luck.
Any help is appreciated.. I'm really stumped here.
*Update*
So after re-flashing 8 times, I've been able to at least get to the "welcome" screen to begin android setup.. I am then greeted with the following errors:
"The application IMSCServer (process com.motorola.android.server.ims) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The process com.motorola.service.main has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
"The application Smart Actions (process com.motorola.contextual.smartrules) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I'm sure there are more stacked underneath, but every time I hit force close, a new one pops up or repeats itself... It appears to be flashing incorrectly every time I fastboot which is causing the errors... I've been able to clear the cache and data/factory reset in recovery, but the errors won't go away.
After fiddling with the force closes for about 2 minutes after the phone boots, it freezes.
Anyone have any ideas on a an alternative way to ensure a clean flash?
Anyone have any ideas?? I dont think it's bricked as I can get to the set up screen - it just keeps freezing whenever I fastboot restore or use the utility.
Well, I've managed to install Bootstrap and get into it - now I'm just unclear what to do from here.. The ROM flash seems bad - while the phone was loading before freezing, it came up with a message box that said 'Storage is Full'. It definitely appears as if it's not wiping clean when SBF'ing.
I will continue to document my experiences if anyone could assist and jump in.

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Stuck on Logo Screen

Hi, I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and everything was working fine. A couple of months later, I put the tablet in airplane mode because I didn't want to drain the battery when I wasn't at home. When I got home and removed it off airplane mode, the device appeared to be frozen so I held the power down to restart it; this normally fixed most issues I've had with it.
Only this time, it boots to the screen with the Samsung logo and is just stuck there. I was wondering since I did root my tablet, is there any way to restart it properly without doing a factory reset which will cause me to lose all my data/apps, etc...
Did you try to restart device from recovery?
Could you please describe what you mean by boot to recovery?
Hold power+volume down, you will be directed to recovery, there choose reboot device, if that wont help try factory reset, or flash stock rom through Odin
Any solutions that would not wipe the data?
If not is there a way for me to access the data and save it prior to me doing the factory wipe like hooking it up to my pc and transferring the data?
I have recovery but noticed I never took a backup. I am wondering if I did a backup now and did a factory wipe; would it wipe out the recovery/root? If not; would I be able to restore the backup and get my data back?
I tried the wiping cache but no luck; still just goes to the logo screen and no further.

I had this same problem on my tab. However, I just got out of it using the RECOVERY mode as was explained above.
It will not wipe your data. Just choose the option to reboot the system and that will fix it for you. I had same concern about wiping my data so when I saw that reboot option, I selected it and it has helped to rectify my issues. My tab has finally boot completely and I'm once again able to use my tab.

Galaxy doens't start anymore - application installer stopped

Hello,
I have a big problem with the I9300 from my mother-of-law.
Her Galaxy is neither modified, nor rooted or anything. So it's stilll stock.
Now her I9300 won't boot correctly anymore.
When she starts it, it lasts much longer than normal to boot. When unlocking, an error message pops up immediately "Application Installer stopped" (angehalten), when clicking ok, it comes another time then it reboots completely.
When going into "Android system recovery" and wiping data/factory reset, there still comes an error message when I reboot (error) and the same procedure appears.
> It lasts a long time to boot > after unlocking the error message appears (Application installer stopped and it reboots immediately).
Does anyone have an idea what the issue might be and what I could do?
Flash a new Rom?
(P.S. sometimes it doesn't start at all an just shuts down and the battery is empty - even though it was still 77%).
Edit:
Sorry, I made a data / f factory reset another time and now it finally seems to work, unfortunately with all datas erased..
You should flash newest firmware for your country via Odin and it should work correctly

[Q] XT910 stucks at boot, need data extraction (not rooted or flashed)

Hi.
I was using XT910 (with 4.0.1, not rooted or flashed) when the screen suddenly went blank (black) and after about 15 seconds the device restarted without promting anything. While booting, first comes Motorola's official red logo, and then Provider's logo and right at this stage booting stucks just displaying the latter logo without continuing to boot.
I was able to wipe out the cache, but it didn't help. I can reset to factory defaults, but I have critically important data in some applications and if I do so I'm going to wipe out everything.
Is there any way/solution to retrieve/extract or get an access to applications installed and their data in this case? I can even sacrifice the device in order to get that important data (no need photos or contacts).
Thank you.

[Q] Android encryption failed, factory reset doesn't help

My encryption failed, forcing me to factory reset my S4 mini :crying: But when I hitteed the factory reset button, it wiped my data (took a minute or so), reeboted, and I landed at the same screen as before. Also wiping cache, dalvic cache, and formatting /data didn't help
I've read severeal very old threads here, saying that you got to reinstall the stock firmware. Is this still possible??? Can somebody tell me where to get the right 3 part firmware for my S4 mini (DTM)???
How the encryption problem occured
HELP!!! My phone forces me to factory reset, but the SD-Card encryption key will be lost then!
I can still reach the recovery and got a backup from Titanium of all apps on my SD-Card (thank god I did it yesterday). But the SD-Card is encrypted, and the key will be lost in case I do the factory reset. I can still access the CMW recovery and even can backup the system (just /data is still not working), ADB is enabled. Does anybody know how to safe the SD-Card key/unencrypt the SD-Card?
PS. I still know date and time when I did the encryption of both storages
How the failture happened:
I started the unencryption progress, and went out of my room, the phone still plugged in.
A few minutes I came back, the screen was still black. It also didn't reacted when you pressed a key. I thought something went wrong and the phone shut down complety, so I pressed the power button for a few secs. Then it booted, but then I got the message that I got to factory reset my device.
It seems like the unencrypting has never started, but the device thinks it has started, and therefore fails to boot.
Bump
Please help me, all my game stats are stored on the SD Card and it would be horrible if I would loose them:crying:
Another bump
Other problem now, so I brought the thread back to the top
