Encryption and rooting

Does having your device encrypted affect the ability or result of rooting?
Conversely, does rooting affect the ability to encrypt / decrypt the device?

FDE with Root?

I have a Galaxy S5 on T-Mobile (SM-G900T) running Lollipop 5.0. It is rooted and has the Philz Touch CWM custom recovery.
I can't get full disk encryption working, though. It worked before rooting, but I decrypted to root. I tried disabling SuperSU via adb, since I've read that that sometimes interferes, but disabling it didn't work.
Is FDE possible with root? If so, what is the secret?

[Q] safely remove encryption

After receiving my beloved 1+2, I rooted it, installed TWRP and flashed Xposed. Then I encrypted the phone. After wanting to update the rom, I realized TWRP doesn't yet support encryption. I reflashed the stock recovery, which I found here. This didn't help either, no encryption supported.
How can you safely remove the encryption? Does anyone have a functioning setup with stock recovery an encrypted device? Or is it possible to flash new firmware throught fastboot leaving it encrypted?
I made my Htc M7 useless trying to remove it's encryption, so i'm really careful one the 1+2...
Does really nobody know how to reverse this prominent feature in android???
A simple factory reset from the settings menu completely removed the encryption

Moto G4 Plus - Encryption after root

Is it possible to regain encryption after a device has been rooted. I've seen some old posts about Samsung phones where you could unlock the boot loader, install custom recovery, then encrypt the phone. After the phone is encrypted, you can safely root the phone? Does this apply to the Moto G series as well?
Just temporarily un-root and encrypt the device

Newer TWRP should be able to read the encrypted /data by now, IIRC

Device Encryption not possible?

My x727 fails to encrypt itself. After the reboot it did not start the encryption but got stuck for several hours.
Has anyone managed to encrypt the phone? Thank you.
(On my phone, Magisk v8, TWRP, PHH's Superuser and xposed is installed.)
Now that more people have the phone and more ROM versions (including first custom ROMs) are available: has anyone managed to encrypt the phone?
(Device encryption is very important to me because my employer does not allow me to connect an unecrypted phone to the firm network. Therefore, the phone is currently almost useless to me.)
Thanks!
I suppose x727 data partition it's already factory encrypted because during unlocking tests some users said the device asks for a key.
I have now managed to encrypt the phone with the latest ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/5-9-020s-update-x720-t3506829
