My company wants us to install Intune Company Portal app in order to use outloo et c. Intune app wants to encrypt my phone before setting up. My phone is rooted with stock pie rom and no encryption.
My question is what I need to know if I encrypt my phone then I want to install custom rom. I don't want to lose data when I update rom or reinstall stock/custom rom. Thanks.

I've spent the whole night trying to figure this out so hopefully the information is useful for some of of you
The usual scenario is that the phone is encrypted due to using Exchange email (eg. Corporate email) and now you can't upgrade or root it. The first thing to do is to delete that email account and hopefully the phone will decrypt itself or the option appears when you go to phone security settings. You can also try to access the corporate email via a browser and delete the mobile connection.
This worked for me previously but it doesn't now - I don't know if its because I'm using a non-stock rom. Either way a lot of people seems to be stuck with a Samsung rom as well. So you now have a phone with the exchange account gone and its restriction so you should in theory be able to removing the decryption but no it doesn't work. I don't know why as this is a basic OS stuff.
At this stage you can try to full wipe it - but this doesn't work, both through settings or CWM. The only way to sort this out is to copy / backup all your information then flash it to factory state and this means using odin and a stock rom. I've done this several times and there is no lasting issues.
I''m by no mean an expert and would be happy for anyone to correct me
I remember back in my old WM ROM cooking days there were some apps that could be baked into the ROM with pre-configured settings such as the phone number that way if the phone was stolen and SIM changed, it would automatically send an SMS to a backup number and from there you could issue hidden SMS messages to track and wipe the phone. I see there are quite a few aps out for android that can be installed, BUT with modern tech savvy thief's the first thing the do is wipe and then put in their own SIM so any security apps you had are gone and useless. I like the simple functionality of the build-in ADM but would like to know if there was any way to pre-configure the app before a CWM flash so it would survive a device wipe "just not a re-flash unfortunately unless we could lock the recovery in the future so that only Odin would reset". Thoughts?
Hi all,
after getting my new 99 € Fire HDX 7" and managing to root it, install Safestrap and the Nexus ROM, I am now somewhat worried about the security of the device in case it gets lost or stolen. Let me explain:
Among other apps with personal data I have my email account installed on the device, so anyone getting access to it can easily get into my ebay/paypal/amazon/whatever accounts using the forgot-password functionality of those web sites.
What one would do on a stock kindle in order to prevent this: use an unlock PIN for the screen and disable ADB. That should be sufficient, I guess, as I don't see what additional security there should be in enabling encryption except that someone could physically remove the flash chips from the device (but that risk I'm willing to take, as I don't deem my data sensitive enough for someone to go take the device apart).
Now how is the situation once Safestrap and the Nexus ROM are installed? I can still disable ADB in the settings, but on every reboot the Safestrap screen gets displayed and a thief can easily get into the Safestrap recovery and browse the files from there. Would it be possible for him to export files from there, reset a ROM to remove the PIN or do something else to get access to the system?
If so, would it be possible to enable encryption on the Kindle HDX to prevent this? Or would encrypting not work with Safestrap or even brick the device?
Hey Friends,
My S7 edge had a problem with the charging port and I sent it in for an exchange device today.
Previsouly I had Nougat installed so the device was KNOX Void and Rooted.
I read that If you want to ensure that noone can restore the Data from the Device (Online Banking records, passwords, images) you have to encrypt the device and then do a factory reset.
Unfortunately encryption did not work on Nougat (it would show the encryption icon and then reboot)
So I basically flashed the Stock Firmware of the Provider (4 Parts) (6.01) with Odin and hoped that I can find the encryption option in the Security Settings Menu but it wasn't there. I could only encrypt the SD card.
My question: Was the device encrypted as soon as flashed the stock firmware or was encryption simply unavailable on the stock rom?
I did multiple factory resets and also Installed an app to "delete empty space" which should overwrite any data that might hide in the free space.
I am worried that whoever gets the device next might be able to restore my banking data, images and e-mails.
What's your take on this?
Best,

I have a device (GT Wonder Boy with Android "GT OS") that starts in the manufacturers custom user registration prompt and process. This version of Android has required apps installed, so I can't otherwise replace the OS. Is anyone aware of a method that may bypass these first run registration prompts? To complicate matters, the recovery menu is in Chinese, which I do not speak. Though I have reasoned out how to restore if needed.
did you ever solve this?

For recovery use Google translate, anyway I don't know how you would be able to pass this first setup registration

unfortunately the bypass menu - hold down the volume key during startup - only provides "Testing" resources. I am unable to access a ip ftp or ssh login without knowing a bit more information about what the OS is. Now that they are out of business there might be some 3rd party resources fiarly soon. I'll check back in if I find access.
Maybe if you root it, you can remove the app responsible for this, after that wipe and next time you would skip the registration process
i was able to use the usb micro connect to root via Kingo. playing with os now
