Hello,
I have recently rooted my Galaxy S3 and today I tried to encrypt it in order to get access to my Exchange account (requires encrypted device). When I select encrypt device from the settings menu, I get very briefly the Android picture (with its guts open) but after one or two seconds, the screen goes blank, the phone restarts and it is not encrypted.
I have rooted my phone using the CF mod and ODIN.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
P.S. The S3 is running Android 4.3.
Thanks
Hi,
i've encountered the same issue. The fix however is quite simple. Boot into recovery and then select "wipe data". After that, you can encrypt without any problems. But keep in mind that all your data will be lost, better make a backup before
Cheers

I've tried to wipe data/reset the device, but the problem remains on my GS3.

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
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,

Hello everyone,
I'd be grateful if anyone can help me out with a problem I'm currently experiencing with my Galaxy S3.
The phone basically won't boot. It powers on fine, goes through the custom logo (for my network provider, Three) and then goes into the Samsung logo. There it stays, unable to boot.
What I think has caused this is that Three notified me of an over-the-air update to Android 4.3 from Android 4.1.2. I downloaded the update, and ran it, but I don't think it completed successfully and so the phone's firmware is probably now corrupt.
I sadly didn't take a backup and would really like to get the phone working again without losing text messages, apps, app data and so on.
I've looked at various options. I have the correct stock ROM/firmware for the phone (H3G version of 4.1.2). I could use Odin, or I could probably install Clockwork Recovery and use that. But I don't know exactly what I'm doing and in particular, how to keep my app data.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi there,
I flashed my S2 with stock ROM using ODIN (coming from a custom rom) and I was stuck in a boot loop for quite some time until I flashed a pit file along as well.
Now the problem arises when my S2 has successfully booted. I was greeted by the "Enter password to use encrypted device storage" screen instead of the normal welcome to android screen. I tried all the passwords I've ever used and they did not seem to work unfortunately. I think I have tried connecting my device to VPN and Exchange long long time ago but I've used the password used for those and that doesn't work.
I tried flashing with two versions of JB stock - UK & TH and I am getting the same result.
Any suggestions? Thanks
Go to setting's and wipe credentials storage this may work without data loss. if that doesn't work factory reset.

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I can't access the S2's settings. I can't do anything else apart from entering the password. I cannot access the homepage and etc. I've flashed my device a number of times with stock roms (so that's factory reset).
OK let me search. I see long ago now how to solve this.
I can't find the thread but I'm sure you need to go back to either GB or ICS and factory reset there. I have read about enter the password wrong 15 times and it will reset but that is firmware dependent and I can see what one.
I will keep looking but try GB factory reset.
Long story short....eh.....?!!
My Samsung Galaxy A10 (SM-A105FN) got wet during a rainy bikeride! At first it still worked - but then started to show a yellow triangle with exclamation point (charging problem?), restarting and ending up in Android Recovery (the one with only three options - Try again, Factory data reset and View recovery logs) saying Can't load Android system, Reboot Recovery Cause is: Unable to disable quotas on dev/block/platform because system/bin/tune2fs is missing.
So, not able to get into system and turn on USB debugging etc...
Current stock firmware PDA: A105FNXXU6BUC3 (Android 10)
Tried to install new firmware via Apply update from ADB and SD card but both failed saying Failed: Out of memory.
With Odin I got PASS! flashing BL+AP+CP+HOME_CSC with latest stock fimware PDA: A105FNXXS7CVB1 (Android 11) - but still in Recovery loop now saying Reboot Recovery Cause is: [set_policy_failed / data/app]
The phone is not rooted nor bootloader unlocked.
I don't care about the phone (budget) - but I really do need my own data back!!
Is there a way without losing data? TWRP??

In trying to be helpful, all I can do is point you to this thread where I personally organized in one place over 200 similar threads (almost) exactly like yours (where all had an unresponsive screen - but most were due to being dropped).
What is the best XDA solution to control Android on the PC & recover data over Wi-Fi when the user suddenly has an unresponsive broken screen?

Thanks GalaxyA325G!
I'll dig into that thread!!
Probably - or, definitely - I'm screwed....!!!
also TWRP supports MTP
