Hello, some phone/roms let you do that (such as the galaxy phones rom as i recall), is that the case with the YT2 LP rom?
My YotaPhone is encrypted and I see no possibility to decrypt it in the Security menu.
I also seem to remember that during the encrypting it said that there's no way of decrypting it again except for a reset.
If so, i can't do it without TWRP supporting data decryption. Can you please tell me if the one that came out yesterday (v3.x) does?

I'm not using TWRP so can't help you there, sorry.
You don't plan to use it? Surprising.

Hi,
I have rooted my S5 and want to enable the encryption.
But when I start the encryption it reboots after some seconds without encrypting.
I have unrooted the device and the encryption works well. Afterwards I have rooted again and then the deivice does not boot, so I had to reset.
Is there a way to encrypt a rooted device?

Are you also running custom recovery and what rom?
I think the phone might have to have all the knox files for the encryption to work properly.

I have only done the CF root, nothing else, no custom recovery.
Would be interesting if someone has a rooted S5 where device encryption works.

That's odd. It must be related to root then.
I don't have any experience with encryption and I'm fairly new to Knox as well so I may not be much help. A brief search didn't yield any promising results for having both encryption AND root, sorry.

Yes I have searched quite a lot but I could not find any info. Maybe people do not use encryption that much.

I hear about it more on the Corporate phones that require everything to be encrypted.
Hi guys,
do you still have that issue?
I encountered a problem activating encryption on a rooted SM-P900. I'm not sure, but I think it's a general problem with Samsung KitKat devices. I described, how I got it solved for my device here. Have a look at my thread and let me know, if it works for you...
Cheers!

Nice details on your your steps. This will not work for me as I have the VZW edition and not the developer edition. But I hope this works out for others that can use a custom recovery.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is with the VZW edition different? (google says: VZW = Verizon Wireless)
I am also rooted and cannot encrypt my device. Has any progress been made on finding a way to do it? I do not want to unroot and stay unrooted just so I can encrypt my device... On the other hand I cannot receive email so no encryption is also a no go ...
..
This is what fixed this issue for me in case any of you guys were still looking for the solution

Hello folks,
after getting more and more paranoid about the more or less unprotected files on my smartphone, I would like to encrypt it. Anyway I want to make shure that I will be able to flash Custom Roms as usual. I already read some threads about TWRP supporting encryption, but they are all relatively outdated and from a time where this was more or less an experimental feature, so here comes my question:
How are your experiences with TWRPs encryption support? Will I be able to flash custom roms? What problems did you encounter? What do I need to take into account before encrypting my phone?
I hope you can help me, if you have any other sources I should read, let me know.
Thank you
Simon
Is this such a trivial question or does nobody have any experience with this issue?

I don't think most people use encryption. My experience on the n9 which is encrypted by default is that twrp works fine and you can flash custom roms. It takes awhile for twrp to boot up because it has to decrypt so be prepared for that.
To encrypt you will have to do a factory reset so backup first.

Thanks for your reply! Kind of surprising that encryption is so unpopular.
How does TWRP get the password for the decryption? Is it as simple as a dialog box?

It is a dialogue box. I would suggest a pin. I think twrp supports a pattern now but before it was a real pita.

I just bought a 820u and was wondering if rooting Marshmallow with the expanded storage activated will be harmful to my phone..
I have asked valid questions in these forums and no one answers me.. is it just me??
If you tend to root in MM theoretically this should not make your adopted storage "harm" your phone. Only if you have mis-handled it will result in that. Maybe you can have a better answer by asking in the Super SU forum.

You said you were on MM to get external storage as adopted but now you say you are on KK? I dont understand this time.
when i first posted my phone was in the mail and i was hoping for an ota mm but that didn't happen so i am stuck on kit kat.. but i finally got a recovery TWRP installed with a little hassle.. now i don't know what to do with it because it isn't allowing me to mount my sdcard so i can flash a ROM and my 4G still isn't working.. i just got ahead of myself with the first post.. sorry
Did you try reformatting the SD card as exFAT or FAT32 on PC and put it back into the phone? Does it work?

still no 4g LTE.. stuck in hspa ... Does anyone have a radio flash for 820u?
Coming from many years with Samsung phones, I have only had to backup system, data and cache to save a rom setup. On the 6 P there are a lot of options. I'm on WEDA Audiophile rom but want to make a backup to try a different one. What do I need to select in TWRP to save everything needed to go back to this rom?
Thanks for any advice, Jack
Data, System, Boot, Vendor should do the trick.

Make a backup of your EFS first and keep it safe in case. Make sure you are using the latest TWRP (3.0.2-3) to avoid problems. Backup system, boot and data. You don't actually need the vendor.

Latest version of TWRP is 3.0.2-2, no? This is like the 3rd or 4th time I've seen "3.0.2-3" mentioned, but per the official TWRP site and everywhere I've seen, 3.0.2-2 is the latest....so just figured I'd clarify

I am on Tapatalk so hard to grab a URL. Search for 3.0.2-3 on XDA, should be in the TWRP fatal flaw thread. Unofficial but published by one of the devs, rid of the bugs of -1 & -2.

Hello my fellow v20 users. I'm in dire need of you wisdom and guidance. Today I was getting ready to hand my phone to my brother so I did a factory reset. My phone is a Sprint V20 rooted and bootloader unlocked with the dirty Santa method and I had installed the us996 deoxed ROM on it.
Everything was working perfectly and I enjoyed the phone very much. However after I did the factory reset in TWRP (I did the plain swipe to clear reset) the phone just rebooted into TWRP again and again and no matter what I do. I already have tried reinstalling the same us996 deoxed ROM I was using to no avail, I have tried another ROM and the same result.
I tried following some advice which I found on the forum that said to wipe the phone in a certain order and then install the ROM and then pull the battery and the same result it boots into TWRP. At one point I even tried flashing a different TWRP and I lost the ability to boot into recovery wahtsoever! However flashing the TWRP I was using before that granted the ability to get back into the recovery but now I'm back at square one. No matter what I do the phone always boots into TWRP. I really am at a loss here and don't know what else to try or do. If someone could please help me I would really appreciate it. I can also let someone remote connections to my PC if that would help. Any help would be really appreciated.
Edit (SOLVED!) Many many thanks to user Jinkerz9430 for all his help and the solution to my problem. He will post the solution for other people to use.

But there are several threads that have been created for the exact same situation. And some of them have the answer you are looking for. One of them is the method i have used every time to get out of the loop (which rarely happens to me). Have you looked inside those threads? They are inside the Q&A section or the discussion section.

Try to install lineageos or resurrection remix or aokp. And see if it runs. Then if it runs, wipe everything and go back to stock.
