Hi guys I have a simple question. I have an LG l90 with the CM13. Now I want to update it to another CM nightly but here's the trouble: I have a micro sd encrypted with the new marshmallow's system so firstly if I download the new CM rom it will be saved onto the encrypted sd and when I switch on my mobile with the TWRP recovery, it isn't able to get into the sd because it's encrypted. I know I should solve this problem removing the sd and putting the rar file inside the internal memory and then insert the sd. But is that correct/fair?
The other question is: if I update the rom simply installing it without wiping anything, the phone will still be able to read the encrypted sd card or won't it be recognized?
I guess many other people have these questions ahahah

Hi guys,
I'd like to format my SD car prior to flashing a new ROM as it's all very messy now with tons of random old folders and such. Is there a preferred way to do this such as through CWM?
Also, if i were to format the SD card it would also delete the ROM zip file that i would be flashing. Is installing the ROM zip from my external SD card ok?
Thanks

1. Yes. Just use format internal sd card or (/emmc) option in cwm.
2. Yes, Installing from external is fine, it doesn't make any difference.
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.

Hi all.
I was running a custom Andriod OS 4.2.2 (phone rooted). I also encrypted (full) the phone and SD card. Now I installed CynogenMod 11 through Odin. All went good, I also managed to copy the Gapps.zip to the SD card. But when booting and going into TWR boot manager, I can’t decrypt my SD storage. Which means I can’t install Gapps.
How can I decrypt my phone’s SD card so that I can point TWR boot manager at startup to my SD card?
Thnx for the help guys
Hi guys, I just upgraded my Z3 to 6.0 through a custom rom and I'm just wondering, for people already on 6.0, do y'all think it's better to combine your sd storage with internal? Cause I just found out that it's almost impossible to flash a rom or anything from TWRP if your storage is combined cause it won't read the sd card area. Maybe a TWRP update will come out fixing this but for now it's kind of a hassle to reformat my sd card to read as transferable storage.
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.
