I have a new Galaxy Note 3 (having bricked one trying to understand why it wouldn't encrypt) and now with a full stock rom I still find that the phone is impossible to encrypt.
I have an encrypted SD card in it. (only thing I can think of that might be causing problems)..
Settings > General > Security > Encrypt Device keeps stopping after a single shutdown,
How the heck do I encrypt this thing?? - Am I missing the blindingly obvious..
Thanks

I'm having the exact same issue. Encryption is requited to get my work email and I can't get it to go.
Finally got mine to encrypt
Took me a bunch of tries.. and finally once i opened a chat with samsung support it finally worked.. i was at 100% charge, plugged into the wall and if finally worked. not sure if thats a bug in its detection if your over the stated 80% or not... good luck.. i finally got it working though.. only did a fast encryption as it didn't work on previous tries either way... so i just chose one and tried it again.

I have the Google Policy Manager and Encryption is required for me too. I started at 81% and the first time I did it, it just rebooted. The second time I did it it worked like it was suppose to. Try it again right after it reboots and see if it works.
Make sure the phone is charged and keep trying over and over.
It will work eventually.
I gave up. I'm using touchdown now for work email which will allow me to skip full device encryption

Same problem here, it will not encrypt
....help please
This is the answer I found doing a couple of root and unroot
1.If you encrypt the device and then root it you will net get past the passcode in the phone (black screen)
2. If you root the phone first and ten try to encrypt you will get the problems mentioned in this thread
..any tips how to get the phone rooted and then encrypted?

anyone at all? im stuck. Bump!
was having a similar problem on nexus 4 but safe mode helped there.
dind't help on my new n3. shouldn't have rooted before encrypting.
tried pressing encrypt about 10 times.
tried boot into recovery + wipe . also tried safe mode. also tried unroot + factory reset (pretty sure recovery + wipe /data is the same as reset user data from settings).
waiting for the firmware image to download - decided to try a firmware reflash
and then before flashing it I tried rebooting to recovery and powering off and encrypting and it worked. or maybe it was that random 12th time it worked because of an unrelated reason.
and after trying to root it again it just booted to a black screen after cf-root and enter encryption password screen.
*sigh*

I'm an AT&T customer, but I bought a T Mobile Note 3 off of Craigslist, unlocked it, rooted using Chainfire's ODIN thread, and then used the RegionFree Lock Away app. I was unable to encrypt just like you guys until I did the following. Flashed TWRP tar file from the TWRP site using ODIN. Rebooted into recovery and made an image, backup up everything, just in case. Rebooted and went in the SU Superuser application that Chainfire originally installed and uninstalled through the settings in the program. Once I rebooted I was able to encrypt the device (without fast method), I already had my SD Card encrypted. Once I encrypted the device I downloaded Kingo Root at the advice of DesignGears and used the one click root application from the Kingo Root site (google it.) After I did that, I now have full root access back, encryption, and never had to uninstall the region lock, so I didn't lose phone connectivity, applications, or anything else during the process. I recommend using TitaniumBackup and syncing via Google Drive or Dropbox before you start the process so you can restore your apps and data, once again, just in case.
encrypted ATT Note 3 not able to root
I was able to unroot my ATT Note 3 and then encrypted it. But Kingo Root failed to root the device. (I used it to root the phone once previously)
Now I stuck in a status with encrypted phone not able to root anymore.
Any suggestions please?

I was able to get mine to encrypt after killing the bloat apps. All Google sync, amazon, and Verizon services. I can't say which one was killing it since it stopped pretty much every app or service that wasn't critical to the device.
Can anyone confirm that Encryption will never work once we root our phone ?

Same question here... Anyone was able to encrypt after being rooted???
Same question, rooted can't encrypt.
Just got a note 3 and this is an old thread. So wanted to update this question.
To encrypt device after root all that is needed to do is run the following command from terminal or adb shell as root. You must have the latest busybox installed.
pkill -KILL daemonsu
After running this command you should be back at the "$" prompt and out of root. Do not run su again.
Then encrypt your device. Encryption should work fine. Once rebooted you will have root again.
I had to repeat the above steps because I ran su again. Running su restarts daemonsu.
Good luck
Hi,
I was able to root and encrypt my sm-n900 note3 using the steps mentioned on this post:

Hey Guys,
I have a question.
i used to have the Galaxy Note 3 , rooted it and did alot with it. Now i have a Note 4 and i want to root it. But my problem is this :
When i am going to root it can i also update my firmware manually without making backup? cause i am gonna stay on Stock Touchwizz. I want to Root it and if For example Android 5.0 comes out i want to update it without losing data or without resetting the whole phone.
Cause without root you can just accept your update through OTA or through Kies without losing any data and you dont need to master reset the phone nor make any backup. I want this method rooted through ODIN also, and is it possible. Cause on my note 3 i always made a backup and than needed to flash the new firmware and than restore backup.
help me out with step by step method if it possible
I'm sorry, but otas aren't clean either my friend. Conuntless people experience weird battery drain, force closes etc following an ota.
With in days of the 5.0 update hitting note 4s, there will be hoards of people wanting too know how they can go back to 4.4.4... Mark my words.
The fact that it includes a move from dalvik to art is only going to make the whole process more troublesome than it usually is.
Just individually back up your data through the specific apps if they have the capability, and uses sms and call back up apps if you really need to keep that stuff too, and just clean install yourself for the smother experience

Thanks for the tip that it will be dalvik to art.
didnt knew about that.
So lets say for example if a 4.4.5 comes out and i am rooted on 4.4.4 stock samsung, is it possible to download the stock 4.4.5 and flash it through Odin without losing data?
normally i used to make backups through Titanium and restore it. But i am bit tired of flashing a new stock and than restore backup.

If you root you still can upgrade your note to android 5.0 via odin but it will not eraser your data, only lost root acces. I have try in my tab long time ago , the day honeycomb upgrade to ics so you dont have to worry
Cheer.
My phone has been very flaky and freezing all the time. Sometimes it just reboots itself. I want to do a complete wipe and restore. What exactly should I be looking to back up and how? Pretty much all my apps are on my sd card. Can I just remove it and put it back after the wipe to use the apps again? I know nothing about twrp or cyanogen. Are these options I should consider? I'm assuming I will have to re-root after. My current root is called kltetmo. Should I just stick with it? Seems to be good enough for the apps I use. I'm using 10% battery at least for every hour I'm using the phone. Mostly social apps and forums like this. I don't game or anything like that. Any help without sarcasm will be greatly appreciated.[emoji4]

Try using an app called Titanium Backup Then you backup your files to your SD Card.
After you install via ODIN the TEAMWIN PROJECT RECOVERY. After installing Teamwin project, you put the phone on recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power key. and do a full backup of the system.
if you are already rooted, then you can wipe via TWRP the new stock firmware - GALAXY S5 FIRMWARE.
u can bypass some of these for the backup by downloading kies 3 and using it, you can backup all yours apps some of settings even your lock screen settings, after you finish your cleaning part ( wipe .. ) u can restore what u've backed up using kies 3.. real simple step. then u won't be in-need of removing sd card then putting it back.. Good luck!
If your S5 was slow, installing all those apps again after a clean up will make it slower again. Just backup everything inside your sd card to your PC and perform a data wipe (or factory reset in stock recovery, which could delete everything inside your sd card) and reboot your device. It should still be rooted after the wipe.
I am trying to login to Snapchat but it keeps saying there's an error with the login and I found out it is because I am rooted. A fix I found involves full unroot and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help me?
Snapchat
Ive used snapchat rooted. On mutiple roms.
Snapchat for some devices (like the v20 now) is checking for root. It's hit or miss really. On my VS995 Snapchat wouldn't work till I did suhide. So you'll have to most likely use Magisk or SU-Hide or some kind of root hiding thing to get past it.
Just install Snapchat on a other device, log in, make a backup with Titanium Backup and load it on your main device.
This worked for my rooted S5 KLTE

magisk hide is option 1
rootswitch is option 2
full unroot, sign in, then re-flash the supersu zip to re root is option 3
restore a app+data backup from a logged in device using backup app like titanium is option 4..

Personally i feel option 2 is easiest but not all kernels like it.
I wish these things could be put in to roms so when we flash them, there's no alternate flashing needed that could cause issues.. I had nothing but issues tryna get both of those options to work, but again it was probably kernel related so I just gave up on it..

Actually, the Stock deOdexed US996 ROM has them built into it, also allows for hotspot provisioning without having to edit anything. I've been running it for a few months now, and been flawless on every aspect, other than it disables the ability to use MyVerizon apps, and Verizon's visual voicemail.
So I bought a Galaxy S8+ (7.0) to replace my 6P (8.0), and I'm trying to copy my app data over. Not having any luck. Any suggestions for how to do it? The apps themselves are no big deal, I can download from the Play Store, but I want my data.
6P is still completely stock - locked bootloader, so I would have to erase it to root. This would defeat the purpose. If there is a way to do a complete backup, root, and restore so I could use TiBu that would be awesome.
I do have Google apps backup enabled, and I have a backup on Drive that I can find and see all my apps. However, according to this link you can't restore from a newer version of Android to an older one. It never gives me the option to restore when I add my Google account to the new phone, and I can't find a way to restore from Drive on the new phone, even though I can see all the apps in the backup. Downloading apps from the store doesn't restore their data either. I can't downgrade my 6P back to Nougat without root either.
I tried Helium Backup, but it just simply doesn't work. As evidenced by many comments on the Play Store it doesn't work on the 6P.
Am I just stuck? I would think there would be a better solution than this.
You tried helium backup this way I guess ???
https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-backup-and-restore-app-data-with-or-without-root
There are not many ways to do, you could try Holo or super backup.
That's why we root

The problem I am having with Helium backup is that it just doesn't seem to work. If I connect through port 5000 from my PC (PC download) and tell it to backup then it just sits there and says "waiting for [IP address]" and never comes back to save anything. If I try to backup to the device, it does a couple of different things - it comes up and asks for my device password (which I put in settings) and then it fills in the password for me, but then either the "Back Up My Data" is grayed out or it sits on that screen, fills in the password, and then the apps start cycling through while it is adding characters to the password, then it gets stuck and stops. I have to reboot the phone to reset the backup to try again. (It's not locked up, just Helium is stuck.)
I'll look into Holo and Super Backup.
Followup: No go on the others. It says Holo can only be used to restore to the same device, and Super Backup needs root to backup the app data.
Bad for you, I doubt there is way for you to backup with a locked bootloader if none of the apps are working.
The only way to root a phone without a patched boot.img (SuperSU and magisk) is to use kingroot, but I highly doubt this will work. Do yourself a favor and root your s8 to avoid this the next time.

Yes, pretty much. Google restore is decent in getting your new device close to where it was, but app data (especially for non-Google apps) can be a problem. Sometimes the app has a dedicated folder and you can try copying that over. This worked for me once long ago with WhatsApp before it had it's own backup capability. After the Google restore, exactly which apps are you needing saved data for? Someone may be able to chime in if it is a specific game or well known app. Now that root is available for S8+ you should do that asap before getting it all set up the way you want it. It's only painful one time, but then you will have access to TiBu and all the other "essential" root apps.

The problem is that Google restore didn't work either since it was going from an Oreo device to a Nougat device. I didn't think backing up was a big deal since Google is supposed to handle it, but it's not doing me any good at all. I couldn't do a full restore from the phone, and when I reinstall apps from the Play Store it doesn't include the data. Most things have accounts so I can set it back up again, but all of my preferences and settings for every app are gone. I'm pretty much having to go through app by app and reconfigure everything. Plus I have lost high scores and low times for several games...
My only concern with rooting the S8+ is that I have seen that it makes Android Pay not work, and some people say the Play Store has issues. Is that true? I've just begun researching it.

I'm afraid I can't be of much help because I don't use Android Pay or Samsung devices (except the Galaxy Nexus which was great) ...but both Pay and PlayStore seem to be working fine on most rooted devices. I have never had a PS issue due to my phone being rooted. I just know I won't be without root because the root apps I use are more important to me in every day use. It's up to the individual to decide whether root is right for them, or not. I suggest hanging out in the Sammy board here on XDA, read and ask questions until you know what you want to do. BUT what I said earlier is true and most will vouch for me... make the decision asap, because unlocking and rooting will require wiping the phone.
Edit: Side note... just found this article which doesn't help you, but it does raise a question: Did you initiate the restore during the initial setup process on the S8+ or afterwards? If afterwards, wiping the phone and trying Google restore again may work.
There are multiple solutions available for G Suite backup.You can google this solution .Last time I used the solution for same issue and got entire backup with softaken G Suite backup tool. I will recommend you to download softaken G Suite backup tool. software from here G Suite backup.
