Hi all,
After migrating my samsungGalaxyS (i9000) from cyanogen 11 to omnirom lollipop, I'm quite disappointed that despite 'encrypt your device' still appears in Security>Menu it remains unoperant after many unsuccessful trials.... As a result my phone displays the droid face ... and passed 3-4 hours i'm forced to stop it (pressing power button more than usual) and then restarting.
By the way : My phone is re-rooted and i made a nandroid backup before testing encryption.
Any idea on why this lollipop won't crypt ??

After a year of playing with Galaxy S3 I got bored with constant flashing and well, I never got used to onscreen keyboard.
I wanted a phone that will just work and decided to go for a Droid Pro+. Device was form Germany as there is no official distribution in Poland. It worked like a charm for two weeks till just now.
While playing with it (changing ringtones and stuff) I got several messages about services failing - com.service.usb, com.service.google, etc.) As it happened before (but only com.service.usb) I restarted it - in a normal way - power button and then Reboot. It rebooted and after that got stuck on M logo.
The firmware was as stock as it could be. No modifications were made. What's strange, the device can't be hard resetted. I can hold the power button for several minutes and it won't turn off.
Recovery mode works, but wiping does not help. Fastboot also works, but RSD Lite shows N/A in every column of Device info. I flashed GB 2.3.6 (5.5.1Q-110_ELW-TA-36-65-release-keys-signed.Retail-en-GB.tar) found on XDA. The rom itself should be OK, as no functionality was lost (recovery and fastboot), but the device still hangs on the boot logo. Device info is still N/A.
Could it be a hardware malfunction or is there something else I could try? Warranty is probably not an option since as i mentioned there is no official distribution in Poland. Any help would be appreciated since I'm out of ideas by now... Also, does anyone know if the battery is charged when in Recovery or fastboot mode? Connecting to a charger ends up on the M logo. And because very few people in Poland have Moto devices I have no other way to recharge the battery.
update, read at the bottom.
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-910C which I have rooted after flashing a stock Samsung rom. If I recall correctly, I flashed a stock android 4 rom trough ODIN, did it a CF-Auto-Root and eventually updated android 5 through wifi (OTA). SuperSU was installed.
I have attempted to do a native full-disk encryption trough the default Security menu; the phone went into a black screen with a green outline android robot in the center, with no progress bar or text of any kind (I found the image online, but can't post it due to account lack of privilege) . It has been on this same screen for over 8 hours now.
The device was NOT in USB-debugging mode.
What are your suggestions? Should I try some kind of reset? Is it possible the process will resume and is taking so long due to the amount of files? Or I shouldn't expect it to work since I tried encrypting a rooted device?
I'm not worried about any files in it, but I'd like to make sure to be able to recover the phone without bricking it. I'll be leaving the phone plugged to the outlet and untouched for the foreseeable future...
Thank you very much.
UPDATE: I powered off the device (had to remove the battery) and when turned it on again was met with the "Encryption unsuccessful" screen. Then I turned it off and went into recovery mode by pressing and holding POWER+VOLUME UP+HOME. Even tough it displayed a warning - dm-verity verification failed - I chose wipe/factory reset and then rebooted the system and it seems to have worked fine. After the start splash screen and a notification that is was installing applications (bloatware), it brought me the Welcome to Samsung Galaxy configuration wizard.
Hi all,
I was pretty happy with the Cyanogen OS, but when issues started with only OS and not with hardware for more than 3-4 times,
I am not happy now, My latest issue...
One fine day I saw a Message on My Yu Yureka Plus with regional language Hindi which was looking like an advertisement on my Device, I just ignored for 1st time and 2nd time, but it was something written like encryption unsuccessful,
it prompted me to reset the phone and I did it.
After resetting the device, it just showed reboot system now and that's it, only Yu logo and restart.
Tried to flash the device but system not detecting the device.
Taken to Service center and they said that Mobile is rooted and not able to flash the device.
So now I can see the Cyanogen recovery and the charging % ....
Tried to upadate the device with official COS12.1 (YOG4PAS3JM), but failed.
My device is not rooted yet.
Anything that I can do regarding this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Most probably motherboard issue and should be replaced if possible ,had same issue on s7edge with random reboots ,shutdown not turning on ect
Hi guys, regarding the restarting issue...have some “improvements” after deleting data in apps...phone and device maintenance....15 hours without restarting..fingers crossed
Hi guys....the restarts have become too much to the point the phone is unusable...its worse when the phone is on 4G/LTE...Sometimes the screen goes dark and the phone becomes unresponsive.
My effort to take to the Samsung centre for repair has been in vain...as I bought the phone overseas and the warranty is not honored here.
Any help will be appreciated...
Hi all,
I have a regular Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505 variant) which has been my experimental phone to tweak with custom roms. So far the phone has been working fine until a few days back when my toddler played with it and the phone started to freeze and just rebooted. Since then, I have not been able to use the phone successfully. What would happen is that the OS would boot up but then the phone would freeze halfway through the boot up on the splash screen. I have tried to reflash the phone with a new fresh OS installation and while the flash would be successful (via TWRP) the phone would still get stuck during the boot up screen. I suspect its something to do with the heating of the phone (it does get hot but not overly hot!) Or is my motherboard faulty (hence the problem?) Feels very as I have never had any issue with the phone in the past.
Appreciate any help of guidance on this!
ps - I last tried reflashing the phone with Optimised Lineage (Android 10) JDC.
