[Q] Can't Encrypt Galaxy SIII i9300 [SOLVED] - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I'm having trouble encrypting my i9300 device (I need to encrypt my device for work's email)
I've set a good password, and my device is at 100% battery.
Whenever I've tried to encrypt it, it got stuck with the green robot and it seems it doesn't do anything.
I'd even stayed my phone for the night with that green robot, and nothing happened.
I can reboot it, and everything is back to normal... but no encryption.
I've tried to replace my ROM to Stock ROM, and CyanogenMod, and it's the same.
I'm now with Android Revolution HD 22.4.
I've tried to locate errors with adb and logcat, but haven't seen anything that is relevant to the encryption.
Anyone here got the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks,
Adam
Edit: I solved this issue using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2122702

I found an error with logcat:
E/Cryptfs ( 2082): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place(32).
E/Cryptfs ( 2082): Error crypfs enable(inplace)
If that helps...

Galaxy Note 3 - Restarts when trying to Encrypt

Hi,
I did a bunch of search strings on here and Google to try and find a solution to my problem to no avail. I really hope you guys can help.
My device: Galaxy Note 3 - N900W8 - Rooted and Unlocked (RegionLock Away 1.3)
My Problem:
I'm trying to connect the device to my works account via Exchange ActiveSync. My company forces encryption on the device as part of the setup processes. When I try to Encrypt the device (Fast Encrypt or not) it shows the Encryption Android dude (Green) as if it's going to start and then the phone just turns off and reboots.
Any ideas what the issue could be? Is it possible that because the phone is rooted, the security settings that my works places on it doesn't like it?
Thanks.

Hi, I was experiencing the same thing, I was playing with the encryption and now my lock screen pattern and pin is not an option anymore and I have to use the encryption password, when my device is not even encrypted! I cannot decrypt because every time I go into the Encrypt device option, It goes back to rebooting just like you mention. Anybody can help?
Thanks,

[Q] Galaxy S3 , Strange Errors

Hey Guys , so today i have a very very strange error to report ,
It occured on my Galaxy S3 and started almost 3 weeks ago ago with some apps disappearing from the phone but easily beeing reeinstalled (noticed it because it affected my Launcher (Nova Launcher) about 1 week ago the well known UID´s inconsisten issue begann to show up , however no new apps have been installed to the device in at least 2 months and it was pretty much a standard setup ( not even rooted)
the device started crashing several times during random use ( with the interesting exception of ongoing calls)
After each reboot the UID´s inconsitent error wash shown , after 1 day suddenly the phone lost all user Settings ( passwords ,Launcher settings and Contact information , yet none of the data , only the user storage was affected , the UID´s inconsistent error was still beeing shown .
then yesterday the phone got stuck entirely
now the device seems to operate for about 1 second after power , leading to it beeing stucked on the Galaxy S3 screen when starting normaly and the battery loading screen when connecting to Power ( it is not active long enough to determine battery levels , the waiting circle is in it´s starting positon )
booting into recovery mode and Download mode is sitll possible , safe boot is not responsive.
if i start Android System Recovery (<3e>)
a string of near identical errors show up in the following scheme :
E:failed to mount /cache ( No such file or directory)
E:failed to mount /data( No such file or directory)
and so on
when i try factory reset the error is
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk012
Should i try reinstall the device with Odin or is this a lost cause that requires a hardware fix ( or probably scrapping the device concidering the age)
i am looking forward to your help
Do you no what android version you have installed? something like 4.1?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes it is 4.1.2 , and it is the standard international version without sim lock( in case that makes a difference)
Try and flash stock again with odin, once i get on the comp ill past you a link to read up on.
Sounds like it maybe this

If flashing stock with odin does not help try the rescue firmware then im sorry but im out of ideas.

Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0 Encryption Unsuccessful

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
My device is Cherry Mobile Omega HD 2.0 (MT6589)
So here's my story:
I was texting while a message saying "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped". I rebooted my device and what greeted me is a long message about Encryption Unsuccessful and a button for resetting my phone. I've never enabled encryption on my device. I tried tapping the button but nothing happens. I booted into recovery mode to factory reset but when I try, an error saying "Mount /data error" is all I get.
I tried searching online for a possible fix but I couldn't find anything! I'm trying to flash the stock rom on my device (I was running on stock rom when this happened. Yes, I'm rooted) but the pc doesn't seem to recognize my phone. I have a preload driver but it still won't recognize my device!
It still boots up until the encryption unsuccessful message and it still charges.
At this point, I'm already pretty desperate. :crying: I hope anyone could help or give suggestions! Oh, and if anyone could give me an idea on how could this have had happen to my device it would be very helpful. (I might have deleted some files on the internal storage and might be the cause but I did that maybe 3-4 days after this happened.)
Thanks!

Encryption unsuccessful random! Need help. Galaxy S3 CM 12.1

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.
