I have a Galaxy S7E. Have successfully installed Echoe ROM twice without problems but after first reboot it asks for password to decrypt data partition. When I attempt to enter it I get the message "system UI has stopped" so I can never enter it. Tried to post this question on the Echoe ROM thread but since I'm a noob I can't figure out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated.

I got past this by entering it really fast, took a bunch of tries. After that I disabled secure boot and the problem went away.
If that doesn't work you could try a factory reset and turn off secure boot before rebooting.
failing that you probably would need to return to stock

Hi everyone I just recently purchased a used S4 the GT-i9500. Everything seemed fine until I got home. It detected my T-Mobile Sim fine but I could only access 2G data and could not connect to any WiFi network I came across. The rom was stock 4.2.2 and the phone was rooted pre purchase. So after fiddling around for a few minutes I discovered the previous owner had flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0 as his choice for a Custom Recovery. Now at this point I had decided to flash on a Custom Rom and of course I first made a backup before flashing on WanamLite. Now after attempting to flash it I immediately received a failure. I tried turning off the signature verification and it did not flash. Now in my frustration i attempted to wipe everything and tried flashing Omega Rom v14. Now i was able to go through with the installation and choose what I wished to install and when I pressed Install things went along smoothly until I hit the app SecSafetyAssurance.apk where it freezes. This is a bump that I've run into at least 5 times already. I changed certain options I wanted to install and eventually made it past this and I am prompted to reboot. Now when I do this to my dismay I just receive a black screen. Upon pulling out the battery and attempting to reboot I still receive a black screen. when I boot back into the Recovery and attempt to reboot the system from within TWRP it warns me saying No OS Installed Are you sure you want to reboot. Im at a loss of what to do. I have read about other members suggesting to use ODIN but I am very confused about how to access Download Mode in order to flash a stock rom from SamMobile.com. I could use a few tips or maybe a few options that I'm left with in order to obtain the operation of my phone again. I would like to get my phone back and Im sure some users can relate to how Im feeling so any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much in advanced!

Flashing through odin is one option.... some users have reported that there were some hiccups when installing omega 14 because of the aroma script.....try a different rom...there are many others to choose from....or you could flash stock via odin as said on the earlier comment good luck

Today I attempted to use ODIN to flash now I am still currently attempting this. When I press the volume down key, power, and home button it takes me to the custom recovery TWRP instead of download mode. The phone did this when I first purchased it. When I still had what appeared to be the stock rom it would always take me to the recovery. When I would use the volume up instead of down it would take me to the factory test mode now mind you this happened when the OS was still installed. When i try that combination now i just receive a blank black screen. Are there any other ways to boot into download mode?
Hi guys
I'm using samsung galaxy S5 (4.4.2) and recently upgraded to 5.0 using custom rom which I found here. It was working just great. I created 2 Nandroid using TWRP. One after a fresh installation another one after restoring my file contents from Helium and Titanium backup..
However something went wrong and i decided to restore my nandroid backup to revert back my changes. To my surprise both nandroid backup failed. I got a success message (using recovery mode) however when i reboot my phone im getting tons of messages like "System failed to start" "process failed to start" wait or press ok.
When I reflash the custom rom, it works fine, however i couldnt recover my system from nandroid backup.
I repeated several times but both nandroid gave me this same error. I even tried fixing permissions but no use. Then I used odin to flash a stock rom (BOA3) and rooted that using TWRP and most recent SU binaries. Its working great now, however I just wanted to know what is the best method to take a nandroid backup now? I'm afraid TWRP will bail out on me once again.
All the while I used CWM and it was great however 5.0 requires latest binaries and only can be rooted via TRWP recovery. Any suggestion? I just want to take a complete nandroid backup and save it in case if something goes wrong.
Thanks

I'm being plagued by this problem since I updated, flashing stock Lollipop using odin.
The problem first appeared after trying to restore my app+data using Titanium.
I went back to the beginning and flashed again but my phone is still unstable and I still occasionally get the '"System failed to start" "process failed to start" wait or press ok' issue that you have. A reboot generally sorts it out but the update has made my phone very unstable.
I also have big problems entering recovery and download modes using the buttons.
Cleaning my cache/davlik hasn't solved it either.
Hopefully someone can help us.
Anyone?

Trouble in Galaxy town
Hi, I'll try make myself short.
1) Back when I had an Galaxy S2 i modded it a little bit but I haven't done it at all since then.
2) Now a few years later I got bored/sick of the stock ROM that comes with the S5 so I wanted to install something I knew had a good reputation, Cyanogenmod.
3) Getting a new recovery was an nightmare itself but eventually I got it working and made an backup so I could roll back if needed to.
4) Now, 24 hours of using CM12 I can only say one sentence: "What kind of crap is this?!" It's so unstable it's almost ridiculous. Bluetooth hangs up all the time thus requiring a reboot which leads to most-annoying-thing-ever-#2. The clock resets itself upon EVERY boot which makes WhatsApp go bananas. Doesn't matter if I previously set the time/date manually or let the phone do it automatically. Then there are the random hang ups that occur all the time and one third thing. Hardware acceleration in BS Player doesn't work AT ALL!
5) Said and done I reversed to the back up but oh man the phone wasn't happy about this (yes I made a wipe before recovering the backup). Nearly every basic service malfunctioned and were forcibly shut down. A factory reset made no difference...
6) For some reason I opened KIES and found out that an update with android lollipop was available so I (in a moment of despair) installed that hoping for salvation.
7) The phone boots properly and everything seems to be going wonderful until I realize that my network connection is high on something. Loses connectivity to my provider all the time thus the phone is totally useless.
8) I HAD to have a working phone for work and since no support is given on Sundays from Samsung I again installed CM12 just for the day.
Now to the good part!
9) When trying to recover the backup once again it's gone corrupt! Can't recover so now I'm stuck with buggy-as-h*ll-cyanogemmod12 with no means of reverting.
What-the-actual-****-do-I-do? Been trying to make some sense from the thread "Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development" but I feel so lost. So if someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!
EDIT: What I want is to reverse back to original stock ROM. Screw the bloatware. I just need the phone stable and working!
EDIT2: After some more googeling I've figured out I need a stock ROM with the right CSC. I use a swedish carrier other than 'tre'. Shall I look for ROMs with CSC 'HTS' anyway? Can't find any info about other carriers in sweden.
EDIT3: Now I've found what I think is right on sammobile.com/firmwares/database/ (search query: 'g900f', first hit 'Sweden' CSC 'VDS'). Worried thou as it's Android Lollipop which made my phone go nuts. Can't find the KitKat version on that site...
EDIT4: Found the KitKat version on samsung-updates.com. The download speed is sooooooo slow (~6 hours)! Download limits should be illegal...
Thanks! //R
Hi,
I had the terrible stupid idea to encrypt my phone while it was running just fine..
So I confirmed my PIN, the same that I had before and hit Encrypt.
I have Canadian version Galaxy S5, which is rooted.
I'm using Exodus ROM.
It asked me to enter my google credentials as if I did wiped the phone, so I did it and phone keep rebooting in a loop and keep saying "Optimizing Apps x of 106" over and over every boot.
Then I decided that I didn't give a f*** about loosing my data, so I wipe everything but it didn't changed anything.
At first boot, it ask for my PIN to decrypt the phone and show by personal banner set before I encrypt the device.
I tried multiple things and ended up with three different looping behaviour :
1- Keep rebooting and "Optimizing Apps..." over and over.
2- Stuck at Exodus four color cross spinning for ever...
3- Stuck at "Exodus is starting ..." Spinning circle forever with "Starting apps"
Please help me.
I just want to have my phone back working, so I can receive call.
I don't care about any my data.
I would like to get rid of the encryption.
Thanks

Have you tried to Odin your device to stock? If not, refer to the forum for your device for instructions how...
edit: For future reference, when it says "optimizing x of 106" it can take as long as 15 minutes, maybe more, to rebuild the cache for those apps...
Got rid of the damn encryption
I found a way to get rid of the damn encryption and was able to have a functional phone again. I already had adb installed on my mac, so it was fast once I found that option :
Boot into recovery
Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Let it error out, then select Advanced > Show Log
You should see something like failed to mount /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata. Note: Your mount point may be different, use whatever the log says
Plug your phone into your computer with the USB data cable
From a terminal (or command prompt) run adb shell and you should get a prompt with a # symbol
Next run mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata. Note: Be sure to replace the path with the one you got from the log!
After that is complete you can now reboot your phone.
Encryption will now be gone, and your phone will be factory reset.
Glad you got it working and thanks for sharing your results.
This adb precedure is far easier than Odin

The process of Odin my device to stock is far longer to and just used Odin few times.. you need to choose the right options in best case scenario.
Also I don't have the stock ROM and I think it would have been a pain to find it.
The adb process I just replied delete the encrypted /data quickly so you can start over.
Thanks for your reply.
It seems like default android encryption really a bad idea.
I don't want to get there anymore unless I find a nice app that doesn't slow the device too much.
Any suggestion ?
So I went through the rooting of my S7 Edge through a swapped ROM. This hasn't gone well for me at all. Once a week, all of my apps crash so I use SmartSwitch to backup, factory reset, then restore just to have a functional phone again. I tried using ODIN to flash what I think is the stock rom, only for it to fail on me. I was told on a thread here, that if I encrypted my phone through the settings, then I would be able to just reboot, decrypt and problem solved instead of having to restore. A normal reboot only put the phone into a fixable bootloop, so I figured I would try the encryption method. Once I rebooted, the phone took me to the decryption screen, and after entering the password, the phone won't do anything. stuck with an unlocked lock, and a spinning set of half circles. I can restart the phone but it wont seem to boot into download or recovery which could be due to the encryption. I would love some help so I'm not sitting on a $900 paper weight. Please lend any assistance and ask any questions, I just want a working phone again.
If you ever get this fixed Please message me. I have pretty much the same exact problem.
Hi Guys,
Hoping someone can help and tell me that Ive not bricked my brand new S7 edge
I have experience in rooting / flashing a number of android devices so I was quite confident in what I was doing.
So I was trying to root my stock rom, I flashed TWRP using Odin which worked fine then I flashed the Super SU. When I booted it then asked for a PIN to boot, it definitely wasn't what I set and would have only set it to 1 thing. So I did some googling and found that I could clear data or remove the pin key files but in TWRP it couldnt mount data and I tried re-formatting but it sat there for over half an hour and I had to hard reboot. TWRP now just freezes at the splash screen during boot which confuses me cause even if I switched off during re-formatting, I was only on the userdata so surely that shouldnt affect TWRP? I then got to the stage where I thought entering the max PIN attempts would just wipe data but no it tried to boot into TWRP which is useless cause it doesnt get past the splash screen.
I can still get into Odin mode, is there something else I can try flash? I had tried reflashing TWRP before but it was still freezing at the splash screen
I thought of maybe wiping data over adb but I dont think I can do that unless the phone boots or gets fully into TWRP?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Stewart
