Hello, exists there any way, how to encrypt whole phone or whole SD card?
I don't want to encrypt separate files.
Thank you for any advice.

Hi,
I recently encrypted my phone(Xperia Z) without SD card in it.
Now I have added a 64gb Sandisk card to my phone. Its working fine.
My question is, will the sd card also be encrypted?
How do I make sure that my sd card is also encrypted?
Cheers,
Amit

hi ricky,
:crying: I did a factory reset yesterday and then encrypted the device with SD card mounted.
After completion of encryption, I removed the SD card and tried accessing files on my PC, they are accessible!
Am I doing something wrong here?

nope, thats the only possible way i know of sorry!
unless I am completely wrong I do not think the Xperia Z and ZL support SD Card encryption. I have a ZL and been testing with Exchange ActiveSync since my company requires SD Card encryption. I have not been able to get it to work unless I turn off that one policy. I can't understand why Sony has gone this route. Almost all the other vendors now allow encrypting the SD Card.

not only sdcard will not be encrypted but you should know that your internal memory (internal SD) has never been encrypted, you might think your files r encrypted inside the phone but they are not! only /data folder gets encrypted when the phone uses android's native encryption.
I'm a custom ROM on Android 4.2.2 and used the Settings > Privacy > Encrypt phone feature. What exactly did this do, did the encrypt the internal SD card, the external SD card, the entire filesystem (i.e. root of filesystem), or some combination?
If it didn't encrypt my external SD card, how can I do so? But if it did, how can I access the contents of my external SD card (after providing my PIN/password) from a laptop when I put the SD card in it? Would I just mount it like I do any other encrypted USB drive with LUKS?
If not, then isn't it risky because if my phone gets broken and I must start from a new ROM, then I've lost my most recent data (backups could be a few days old). Or lets's say someone flashes a new ROM, the new ROM wouldn't be able to read the card, or would it be able to if you use the same PIN/password?

Encrypted internal /storage/sdcard0 cannot be read after installing new ROM while using same password, just checked.

Dear All,
I encrypted my SD card using the encrypt SD Card feature in Android Lollipop. Later, I upgraded my phone to CM13 Marshmallow and I removed the SD Card from my phone during the entire process. Once the new ROM has been installed I encrypted my phone internal memory using the same password as the one I used to encrypt my SD Card.
Once I reinserted my SD Card, the phone couldn't read the encrypted files stored in there. Everytime I try to open a file (image, music, video...) it says "the file couldn't be opened it could be corrupted or damaged".
Can anyone tell me how to restore data on an encrypted SD card ? Of course, I know the exact password that was used to encrypt the data on the SD Card.

I thing you didn't get the point actually. Files are not corrupt, they're encrypted and I'm looking for a way to decrypt data using the encryption password.
i have same problem, please some one help.. thank you
Dear Experts,
I am wondering where is the option to encrypt the SD card in Android 6.0.
I have already encrypted the internal storage of my phone, but no option
to do so with the SD card as well :-/
Please kindly suggest what to do.
Many thanks!
Hi
Long story short .. i formatted my sd card by lg v20 and i can;t recover my files ... tried many applications but nothing been found!
Is it true that LG does wipe the data completely or it';s a lie from the DATA recovery company which i ask to help?
If someone can advice please do so.
@AhmedQatar
What are you speaking of - internal SD-card or external SD-card? What's partition's name you want to recover data from?

An external one .. 32 GB.
I was trying to recover pictures and videos!
@AhmedQatar
Chances to retain data from a formatted SD-card are equal 0.
Anyway: If you plug the SD-card into Windows computer's SD-card slot, is it detected? If YES, then try out Zero Assumption Recovery tool.
