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 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.
Finally got round to asking but I've noticed after updating to 7.0 that I no longer need to enter my encryption pass phrase to get the phone to startup.
It does require the pin to unlock the home screen but not to start up.
Is this a change in 7.0 doesn't seem like it would be as secure as requiring a pin to boot?
Hi!
I have bootloop that I dont know how to solve. It boots up to where I am asked to enter my PIN to unlock SIM but there my phone freezes. Nothing reacts. After about 30 sec it reboots itself. Wipe cache seems to have errors as TWRP cant mount it for some reason. Any Help?
