Did you ever get a solution to this issue?

Yes I did,with trial and error I figured out that once a phone is encrypted, and after that factory resetted, the only way to re-encrypt it is to flash a stock image(via odin) once. And then put any custom rom and re encrypt.

Hi,
I accidentally cleared up all Google apps data/cache. Now it is asking for setting up google account again. When i enter my credentials, it just fails. The error message is:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services."
I am connected to internet (using browser to view pages works fine). Is there a workaround? I do not want to Hard Reset my Hero.
I am not rooted!
I had that same issue after I swapped SIM cards in my Hero and even after I did a hard reset. I just had to wait it out apparently. I got the error on WiFi, 3G, and GPRS. I would say to wait another day before doing a wipe. All the support related sites will tell you to do a wipe now.
Same problem....
I have been having the same problem...ROOTED My HTC Hero (T-mobile - g2)
With CyanogenMods Recovery and flashed MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.3 Core.
After that it doesnt seem to let me log in to google? Market?
I then Loaded backup copy of normal rom back on and then flashed MoDaCo rom over the top with out wiping. and i could log in to market and google. but server errors appear every now and agian....Really frustrating....Wondering weather its worth having a rooted g2. if there is constant problems? like freezing and restarting of touchflo?
Is there a newer rom or a way to have a custom rooted htc hero and that works to a good standard????
Hope there issss

Im just using a prerooted generic image, seems to do the job for me
I recently added a Microsoft Exchange account email to my phone and was working fine, I then updated my rom to Xtreme V8.0 and when I tried to open the emails I kept getting a crash error saying Exchange account stopped working and keeps popping up and stops me from what I am doing on the phone for a minute as phone sort of stalls for a second.
Even after deleting the account from Settings I still keep getting this and also reset the phone by doing factory reset and still getting this issue, any help would be great?
Reflash your ROM but wipe system, data and cache first - updates without wiping data are only advised when your ROM chef says so.
So,
I have a Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2...
In order to read the corporate email on my phone I had to install airwatch..
When installing that, it requests me to encrypt my phone... it failed every time, so I decided to reset my phone and have a fresh version of my software. ..
After the reset, the first app I installed was airwatch and guess what? It failed again....
I was very disappointed and I installed the rest of my apps (phone is now rooted as well).
Is there any way I can "fool" this app to think the phone is encrypted? Or how can I encrypt my phone to "make airwatch happy"?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
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.
Hey all,
My phone updated today and ever since I cannot move past the initial lock screen. When unlocked, the UI appears to crash and send me back to the lock screen. My pin code works for turning the phone off, restarting the phone and putting it into emergency mode, which indicates some sort of UI crash.
Because this is a new account I can't post a link to a video of the issue directly, but the YouTube video code is: 8ZhlH-Tt-NU
I have tried the standard fixes like wiping the cache partition and booting into safe mode, but these don't seem to make any difference. Unfortunately I never logged into my Samsung account on this device, so their 'Find My Mobile' service is not an option. I am however signed into my Google account on the device and it does have wifi/network enabled.
The phone is running PPR1.180610.011/G965FXXU2CSA8
On the phones internal memory is a bunch of photos from a recent trip to Japan, I'm a fool for not backing these up sooner but I would hate to lose them.
Has anybody experienced anything like this before, and is there any way for me to get back into the phone, or atleast recover the photos that I took?
Thanks!
Edit:
One potential route out of this I can see is sideloading the same or a subsequent OTA update using ADB to hopefully fix the issue. Unfortunately despite some digging I can't find any updates that will allow installation from: PPR1.180610.011/G965FXXU2CSA8
If anybody has any information on this specific firmware version (Is it beta 3? beta 4? ect.), its installation path and where files relating to it may be listed/hosted it would be appreciated. Also how disasterous would it be to take a mismatched OTA upgrade and modify the metadata to allow it to be sideloaded onto the phone? I assume this would almost certainly break the OS completely but I'm not too sure.
You can try to flash your firmware again with ODIN, but with the HOME_CSC (Important!)

Thanks for the reply Profi I had no idea using HOME_CSC would retain user data. I have tried flashing a few different versions of Pie (wish HOME_CSC) using Odin but with no luck, every time the phone boots I have the same problem. Do you know if there is a sure way to downgrade to Oreo while retaining user data? I have seen a few posts of people attemping this and getting stuck in bootloops, eventually requrining them to factory reset.
To give a final update on this. I attempted the Oreo downgrade, upon reboot the phone was stuck in a bootloop so I updated to Pie again. When the phone booted I tried the pin code as quickly as I could, and after some glitchy graphics on the screen it unlocked. From here I turn on the stay awake while plugged in feature in the developer options and managed to transfer all my data over to PC.
I don't believe it was the firmware changes that actually made any difference, because any further attempts to put my pin in, to remove the pin code for example, failed and cause the same crashing behaviour.
All data is recovered, I have factory reset the phone and all appears to be behaving as normal again. If anybody stumbles upon this with the same issue, all hope is not lost, but unfortunately I was unable to determine a realiable way to overcome it. It seems in this case it was just dumb luck.
Thanks for the assistance.
