I encrypted my phone and now am unable to decrypt it. I goto settings-->security-->decrypt. The phone turns off and then turns on again after 30 seconds. Phone is still encrypted. Anyway i doing this without a factory reset?

Hi everyone,
I enabled the encryption on my unrooted unlocked G2. Once the encryption was done, it rebooted and asked for the pin to boot. In entered the pin but the phone keeps rebooting and asking for the pin again and again.
I have tried more than 20 times, sometimes it boots to android but it shows a warning sign in notification (backup account needed) and then reboots after a few seconds. I tried turning on/off but the same thing happens again.
Is there anyway I can get my data out of this mess before doing a factory reset? Maybe rooting it from download mode and mounting from recovery?
Thanks a lot!
I encrypted my phone several months back. Today I decided to root the phone. I followed the directions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291827. Problem is phone won't boot. I get to the enter password screen, but once I enter the password the phone shuts off. Please
Update. I tried reinstalling the stock rom using odin, but even though odin said the install was successful. I still have the same problem. I enter the password and the phone shuts down
Did you try the Factory reset in the stock recovery to remove password ( and also your data) ?
I was running CM 12.0 for a long time with encryption and no major issues, until recently I upgraded to 12.1, without formatting etc. Then I had this issue.. after the full boot, the phone reboots in a boot-loop at the pattern unlock screen. If I turned it off fully and restart, I would get to the SIM unlock screen, with the unlock dots showing below that, and after inputting the PIN it dissapears to a blank screen, where you can just pull the Dialer out, but with phone still not decrypted.
So I went into TWRP, pulled my data, fully formatted and started clean, installed 12.1 from scratch and used it for some days without any problems... until I turned encryption on, and after ~12 or so minutes (with the Android logo and some text saying it's encrypting etc).. I have exactly the same issue.
What's going on? Can I fix this without having to format all again?
Update: if I remove the SIM card it works, so maybe the issue is not directly related to the encryption.
Update2: the following steps seemed to resolve it, for now.. not sure what will happen on next reboot:
Remove SIM card
Access phone normally
Go to settings, Security, pattern unlock
Remove the lock. Then turn it on again (you'll need to draw the pattern once more)
Turn off.
Insert SIM back
~Working with some minor issues.
Anyone knows why is the DEVICE encryption is failing to do suceed?
I can encrypt my SD card, but when I try to encrypt the device it starts the process but then reboots and goes back to normal.
Hello,
I noticed within the last month that my S4 seems to lag when I go to unlock the phone.
I hit the power/home button and the screen doesn't turn on. If flashes on 10 seconds later then goes black again.
After a minute, the phone finally releases itself and then I can use it again, before...
It freezes when texting, instagraming, etc...
I have:
-Taken out the SD card
-Wiped Cache Partition
-Factory reset
The only time it doesn't freeze up is when it's in safe mode.
So I have 2 possible answers: Corrupted system file or corrupted app.
Anyone know how to go about isolating the problem? Or solutions similar to this in the past?
I would completely wipe the phone and reflash the software.
