hello,
Last weekend my galaxy note 2 suffered a SDS and got its main board changed. I didn't get it repaired from Samsung service center as my phone was out of warranty, had custom rom and the price they were quoting was high. Since this was a after market job the imei, wifi and bluetooth mac and basically every ID changed when they changed the board.
I was thinkin about encrypting my devices internal memory and external memory card and had a couple of questions
1) If i encrypt the internal memory would i be able to root, install custom recovery and roms?
2) Are the encryption keys for external memory card stored on the device or the card itself?? If i encrypt my external memory card, and my phone suffers a hardware failure or i have to factory reset the device or install the rom again, would i be able to insert the memory card again and access the data using the previous key or would I lose all the data??
3) If the screen breaks and and i cant unlock the phone using the pass code, can i access the internal as well as the external memory from ADB using the pass code??

I have accidently formatted interal storage (SD Card) while connecting external microsd. is there any way i can restore my data back?
It's possible if you haven't written anything new to the card. You'll need to get a sdcard adapter for you computer and download data recovery software. I haven't done this in quite some time so I don't know what the best software is but a quick Google will help you out I'm sure

Hello,
I have a Samsung galaxy s2 with 4.1.2.
The external SD card (and only that) was encrypted.
I did a factory default and now it mounts the external sd card but it doesn't ask for the password. I can see the name of the files but not access them.
How can I access my data ? I know the password, it's the same phone. The automotically backup to google account was on, but I don't know it it backup up the key or something.
Anyway, I am a big fan of Linux (I am using ONLY Linux for more de 10 years) and Android, but if I lost my data from the external sd card this Android OS is a mess, it's even a big danger for a the user.
Why:
- this is not encryption. The external card should be unencryptable even after the os reinstall, factory defaults etc if the pin password is known and the same hardware is used (this should not benecessarily).
So tell me please that I can access my data !
Thank you
Hi guys I'm having problems with my s4. If I transfer data from phone memory to the memory card it sometimes becomes corrupted or lasts a moment on the card the minute I reset the phone rrandom files are deleted or have there file names changed to different symbols a few weeks ago my 32gb SanDisk card just died completely unusable in any device or card reader if I use the card as a source for my camera it stores the photos but once again only till the card is unmounted or the phone reset. If I transfer from my laptop it is fine and remains on the card I have done a full system reset. Still no luck. I'm now running kit kat and have a 64 go Samsung memory card any help is really appreciated
I think it's a sdcard problem. Could you try another (if possible brand new) sdcard?
Hi all,
I just got my hands on a Boost Mobile LG Realm. It turns out this phone only has 1gb of internal storage. I popped in a micro sd thinking it would solve the issue. It turns out that you cannot save apps to the SD card. Shoot, some of my apps don't even have the option of setting the SD card as the primary save location.
I have done some research, but alas I still need some assistance. Can someone tell me how I can use my SD card as my primary storage on Kit Kat 4.4.2? I have discovered that my phone has an emulated external storage so that it stops the SD card from being used as a primary storage.
I have successfully rooted the phone via Towelroot, and I have frozen/uninstalled some bloat ware using Titanium Backup
Edit: I have attached my vold file via dropbox: dropbox com/s/ihpfoo4h79kaphx/vold.fstab?dl=0
Like I said I have done some research and the code in my vold file does not match the ones in the guides.

Your gonna be kinda stuck. While you can move the apps to sdcard with a few tools the app data will still be on the internal storage. There are a few ways to move that also but due to the way sd cards work on Android it kills app performance and may even stop the app from working all together. This is due to android removing all sd card code from stock Android and each OEM has to add it back on their own so coding is different from one device to another.

Thanks for the reply. I understand; I guess I will have to lightly use this.
I'm using Android one spice dream uno running on marshmallow,I enabled adoptable storage. it was working fine with many apps on it,but now won't boot up unless I remove the adoptable storage SD card.Every time it goes to boot with the SD card, the home screen appears like it has booted but there is no response from the screen. Then after about 60 seconds it reboots by itself. When I remove the SD card, it boots fine. Is there any way to get access to my data on SD card,it won't show up in other phones and even on card reader when connected to PC. I neither have access to a Linux system to decrypt the storage nor have my phone rooted with twrp. please help me out, I have important files on the card which I can't afford to lose. how can I access my data back?
