If I enable encryption will it interfere with my ability to flash roms at all?
I can't find the link but I know I've read that if you encrypt your SD card then flash another ROM you won't be able to read the data. Never read anything about encrypting the main memory and its effects on flashing.
I have the same question. Can I encrypt my phone after rooting and installing a custom boot loader?
I understand the limits of encrypting the SD card.
Anyone here encrypt there phone after rooting?
@Gargantuantua did you encrypt your phone? If so, any limitations afterwards?

because of this my SD card cant mount in recovery for me to perform a backup. is there a work around? or once its encrypted u have to undo it to access the SD card in recovery...
This is most likely going to sound rude but that's the point. I don't know what good it would do to be encrypted if you could still just plug it in and read it
If the other card isn't encrypted just switch mount points and back up to the other card

well with encrypted if someone steals my phone, they still have to be able to unlock it to click it over to Disk Drive. also if they pull it out of my phone its unreadable by a computer. so if i lose my phone the information is guaranteed to be destroyed. and as for switching to different mount points, i tried that. i clicked internal storage, and it still said could not mount storage. im decrypting right now, so i can make my nandroid, but i really wish i could keep it encrypted
it says that the phone uses a password built in somewhere to access the information. is there anyway we can set the password and then use it in recovery to access the card? or does this depend on the card and not the software.
Sorry I just reread my post and it looks like I'm saying that I'm trying to be rude lol I meant that's the point of encrypting the card lol. It wouldn't be worth encrypting if you could just open it in twrp. There are apps on the market that will encrypt just the external card and not both but I haven't tried it. I don't see the point of encrypting it when I can just lock folders. My phone is setup to wipe the card if the phone is ever lost so I'm not worried about encryption

very true, idk i guess i should carry a backup micro to backup and flash my roms. unless can the card be partitioned so part is encrypted and part is not?
I've never tried it, perhaps, I know a partition can be locked and encrypted leaving other partition(s) alone but I don't know if there are any apps that support it

hmm next dev idea? throwing it out there to anyone that wants to take a crack at it. would mean rooted phones would be better for the spy business. you know all that stealth and killing quietly nonsense
Hey,
all my photos and videos are not opening any more. I believe it is an encryption issue. I originally encrypted my SD card. Just a ew days a go, I decided to change the unlock method from password to none (without thinking about encryption) and after this I could not open any of the media files on SD card in gallery or when copied to my PC. All files are still there with correct size and attributes.
So, I decided to look at encryption today and found that all boxes were unchecked decided to encrypt the SD card again. No luck. So decrypted the SD card and still same
Anything else I can do? This is a big bug, there should've been a warning or something to tell me about encryption when changing the unlock method...

did you solved the problem ? im having same problem aftr uninstall whatsapp
Hello,
I'm interested in encrypting my phone (rootbox 4.2) including the external SD Card (if that's possible..?) but i need to know if you do it, then let's say you take that sd card out of the phone and plug it in your pc, how do you access the data? And is that still impossible to unencrypt the phone after it was encrypted (i mean on last android versions)?
Thanks.
Never got any answer here... Still interested by any feeback : i need full encryption!
Yes it is possible to encrypt and unencrypt the phone and sd card or just the phone itself via the setting menu on your phone. To access encrypted files on a device or pc I don't think it is possible because your sd was encrypted with your phone.Here's also another website for more info type in( do you encrypt your sd card? android central) on your web browser.
Sorry but i don't get all you're saying, can you give a link? I'd like to encrypt everything AND being able to decrypt it on a PC whenever i want. That's probably possible but maybe not yet avalaible by user friendly methods..
Bump, if anyone knows more about all these things..
If you encrypt the internal memory, does TWRP unencrypt and have access? I know the N6 initially had some issues with this, so don't want to go through the encryption process until I know. THanks.

Just tried it. First even getting it to encrypt was difficult. Second, when it was encrypted everything would crash on the "enter passphrase" screen making it almost impossible to log in. Third, TWRP couldn't mount the encrypted drive. It prompted me for the pin, but kept insisting it was wrong.

Ughhh, that's annoying. Maybe post in the twrp thread? I'd love to enjoy my phone as is but also be encrypted.

Hi,
My friend's phone isn't reading SD cards, and we'd obviously like to get the data off of the card he's been using as adopted storage. However, the phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked, so we likely can't copy the encryption key at all. Is there any way of recovering the data (i.e. rooting the phone without factory reset)? We'd really prefer not to lose the data on the card. The phone is a Moto G3 running the latest firmware.
(Just realised I posted this in the wrong section, my apologies! Is it possible to get this moved?)
