I'm using a stock Huawei Phone with no major modifications (no root, no custom roms and stuff, changed into a custom launcher tho). Suddenly today I can't access my phone because somehow it has partially encrypted itself or something and now I can't even boot my phone, let alone access my data. Here I should point out that at no point did I try to encrypt my data so I'm baffled why something like this should happen. Anyway my phone said I have to factory reset my data and it took me to this recovery screen with the option to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. I do so and then reboot. But the same thing keeps happening. I wiped data a few times to no avail. I removed my SD card but it didn't work either.
I can't open my phone anymore. The data on my phone isn't that important - most of it backed up. Here's my phone specifications-
Model: Huawei Y625-U32 (Android system recovery says its Y625-U32V100R001C567B105 if it helps)
Os: Android 4.4
I can't remember the other specs, but here's the product page on Huawei: consumer.huawei.com/pk/mobile-phones/tech-specs/huawei-y625-pk.htm
It seems that I can apply updates to my phone from external sources and there is a firmware update on my phone (consumer.huawei.com/pk/mobile-phones/support/downloads/huawei-y625-pk.htm). Will this fix my phone?
I don't know why something like this is happening. Should I be worried that this is the work of a virus?
My phone is a little obscure so it's hard to find help online. I would really appreciate your help guys.

Hi!
I got some major problems with my G3. I was on stock Android 6 (rooted). Worked fine for some months. Then I decided to encrypt the phone and activated this option in the normal android settings. After some time the phone restarted and I got the "Encryption unsucccessful" page and cannot do anything anymore.
After reading through the help forums I tried the following steps to solve it:
- factory reset
- wipe eveything in twrp and flashed system, boot, modem manually to Android 6 again
- repaired all filesystem partitions in twrp
- many many more factory resets
All didn't help. The only thing that changed is that when coming to the "Encryption unsucccessful" page now the phone hangs up after the next option I choose (shut down or restart or factory reset) so I have to take out the battery to restart or shut down.
Any suggestions how to solve it and maybe also any suggestions what might have gone wrong? Don't want to kill the next phone the same way by just enabling encryption!?
Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.
Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.
Hi everyone,
I have a moto E 1st gen with OS 5.1, suddenly one day it decided to not recognize the sim card and won't connect to Wifi either.
I took me some time but i could solve the problem, I did factory reset, I wiped the cache; it didn't work. I took it to service to get the simflex replaced, it didnt work, they checked other hardware parts, they couldn't solve it.
I did another factory reset in the meanwhile the phone began behaving weird;it would restart a lot and all apps began to crash.
I decided to go the hard way and flashed 4.4 through the computer.
Good news: SIM card and WIFI working again, yeiiiii!
bad news: OS boot, ask me for the language and a wifi and all the initial stuff; apps keeps on crashing a lot until the device reboots a minute after; and it ask me for the initial configurations again. and it does this again and again and again....
I checked on internet and all pages says that the app-crashing problem is usually a cache issue, the solutions are wiping cache or doing a factory reset; but I already had, several times.
someone told me the rebooting could be a power button issue, since the device had been opened a few times maybe the button got damage; but It won't explain why apps crash like crazy.
I'm out of ideas now, if you have an idea what could it be, comment below please and thanks.
Flash all partitions of your device with the factory images of your device, then wipe userdata partition and cache partition, dont forget that you need flash the 3 partitions of system sparce chunk, and erase the modemst1 and modemst2
I flashed manually; didnt use a flashfirmware.bat that I downloaded somewhere; and the phone is like new. thanks
Hello all,
I have been given a phone(Galaxy J7 prime, SM-G610F) by a friend. It has official android nougat firmware and I believe he has not messed up his phone because he doesn't know much about such things. The complaint is that whenever I switch on the phone, so many services keep stopping and I get those stupid popups. I tried to factory reset the phone from settings menu, but whenever phone resets and comes to normal state, everything is like before. Nothing has been wiped out. All the data and apps are still there. I tried to wipe cache partition and format using recovery, but it says can't find /misc partition and the process fails. Sometimes, I get no command while booting. I flashed stock firware using odin. Even when odin says pass, the phone still starts like before. No new change. I don't understand what is wrong with the phone.
Do you guys have any possible solution to help my poor friend?
Hi all, I'm experiencing a strange issue but very annoying and I hope that I can find some help with the expert out there. I installed a MIUI 11 based rom and everything was almost perfect. I had to encrypt my phone because it's a company phone and they want encrypted phones. When I was prompted to to so I've followed few indication and the phone restarted and it stayed for ages with the boot logo apparently doing nothing...there was no signal of life but maybe it was just encrypting in the background and I didn't know...other times I encrypted my data I could see a timer but not this time. Well, as a matter of fact I've force restarted the phone and from that moment on all my problems started. After few seconds of bootlogo a message errore popped up saying that I had interrupted the encryption process and that I would have needed a factory reset to restart phone...and so I did...but no way, the same message was always appearing...tried also a full format, factory reset, repairing file system...NO WAY! still the same message. I was panicking...then I've decided to install an AOSP based rom and BOOM, the phone booted up and I had my phone again...Then, proud of this success, I've decided to retry installing MIUI 11; so I made a clean flash (formatting data including internal storage) and, WTF, after few seconds the same [email protected]#@#ing errore message that I had interrupted the encryption process and that I should have made a factory reset, that obviously didn't worked, exactly like the first time.
So, forgive my looong message, but what the hell is going on here??? How is possible that this stupid error message survives to all the full wipe I made including internal storage??? how the hell can I get rid of it? It seems I can't install any of the MIUI rom...tried a couple but same result...
please help...I very much prefer MIUI11 than any other AOSP or similar ROM...
thx

twrp ,Mount vendor, wipe vendor system data internal.
Try to flash latest vendor only first , then flash the whole rom.
This might help bcuz vendor makes phone encrypt itself.
