I'm running AOKP with the CMPlus kernel. I want to encrypt my phone. Every time I try to start the encryption an android appears and the phone reboots. Then it doesn't even try to activate encryption. What can I do to get it encrypted?

I guess be glad it is failing. Don't encrypt if on custom rom, it will become difficult to flash ever again (without a full device wipe) and nandroids won't even work after.
good day.

I'm aware of the difficulty that cones with encryption but since I rooted to record business calls, encryption is a really good idea. Any idea how to get it working? Thanks

Don't use a custom kernel, report issue to AOKP dev team.

I didn't know you couldn't use a custom kernel. I'll try it with straight AOKP
Edit: Even with the stock kernel from AOKP it fails. Phone just reboots. AOKP site also seems to be down right now.

Try going back to stock recovery and see if encryption works. Also, you could try twrp and see if it works there as well.

I'll try TWRP first, but if that fails, how do I get stock recovery back? (I'm using the GSM maguro if that makes a difference)

To get stock recovery, find your stock 4.0.4 google image and flash the recovery using fastboot.

Even with stock recovery it doesn't work.
Edit: Just tried it with CM9 nightly as well, and the same thing happens. I'd really like to get encryption working.

Try going back to stock 4.0.4 ics and encrypting there. If it works, there are some test recoveries that support encryption and you could possibly flash a custom rom on top of it.

Thanks for the warning but I'm aware of that. The latest TWRP can work with encrypted /sdcard though. Plus if I get stuck, I'm told "fastboot erase userdata" will format /sdcard and remove the encryption.

I recently unlocked and installed CWM onto my GNex and I made a mistake where I put a kernel to flash onto the phone and I didn't put the rom into the device. I flashed the kernel and found it wouldn't boot, as it's made for 4.0.3.
I can still get in to the CMW, so where do I go from here to fix it?
I'm trying to mount with CMW, but I get this error: "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)"
Help, please.
Did you run a nandroid backup before flashing the kernel?
If nothing works. You'll probably have to find the stock Google OS and flash it

How would I do this? I used the toolkit to unroot and put CMW on the phone, by the way.

Good to hear. Your phone is always recoverable. Its just a major pain when and if you need to start from scratch.

So I'm looking for the stock rom for the new GSM GN that came out, possibly deodexed and rooted already. Can't seem to find it with search. Thanks.

"takju" is the most recent coming on the Google Play version. Its just "yakju" but with Google Wallet pre-installed.
Flash via fastboot and root yourself. Takes 15min.

You wouldn't happen to know how to change display colors with stock do you?

Believe that's kernel related.
but do we have a pure stock with ONLY deodexed?
cox I don't really need the extra feature of those custom rom
Or maybe a stock from flashible in cwm

Why would you want that, when you can flash the official one with fastboot?

Who knows maybe you're on vacation or something.
I mean after all, some of us are "flashaholics"
and actually.. I have honestly flashed on the to go. But that was for kernels not ROM. But realistically speaking, if I was on a trip and a new version of a ROM came out. I'd probably just flash it to stay updated

Is it possible to use the encryption function on rooted devices? I'm using the latest AOKP rom with CMPlus kernel. Thanks

It's possible, but your recovery won't see your data partition anymore. Which will make it difficult to flash other ROM's or updates for AOKP.

Thanks. I mostly use this phone just for business so I don't really flash it that often. I do record my calls sometimes, and sensitive things may be said. I read somewhere that "fastboot oem lock" and "fastboot oem unlock" will undo the encryption if I should need to correct?

Sorry, but the search option was missing from the site for me. (I'm stuck using IE at the moment) I did wind up manually going through about 10 pages of threads after making my post, but I wanted to cover my bases.
I installed Jelly Belly v5.3 after super wiping, with both the JB boot loader and Trinity kernel. Since then I can't get ADB to connect nor get it to charge without plugging my charger in like 10 times, even then it keeps acting like its charging when its not.
I tried reflashing the original 4.0.4 backup, stock boot loader, you name it. I just don't understand what happened or how to fix it. Weirder still on the stock I can't make calls now. I'm so confused, anyone please help if you can.

Are you positive you flashed the correct rom version for your phone?
I suggest flashing the factory images for your device to return to stock, and see if the issues persist from a complete stock out-of-box experience.

I can't flash the factory images without ADB. Fast boot USB won't even work.
Yes I'm positive I flashed the correct ROM for the toro.

I tried to install that paranoid android rom.I keep getting an error 7. it says no target device found. I've tried 1.9 .4, 1.9 .5, 1.9.6 and now 1.9 .7. It looks like an awesome rom but I can't install it. I get the same error with the cm 10. Presently I'm running the vicious ROM (jellybean). I wipe everything before trying to install the ROM but nothing works. I can install the maguro version with no problems other than I don't have phone service. I want this ROM bad and need some guidance.
Mr. Keith
How are you trying to flash the ROM? In recovery?

Yes, clockwork mod. I've also tried to manually do it in recovery, still get the status 7 error. I tried the supersu mod, no success. I have the Verizon gnex. This is week 2 of failed attempts. Do I have to start with a stock rom first?
Hope you are getting roms from Verizon thread not i9250

This.
The reason why you didn't have service with a maguro ROM is because that is for the gsm version.
You want the toro builds. Hopefully you can get your radio back.
if not you'll have to flash the stock Google image.

If you mean status 7 error, I have that with my Vibrant and have to change to a different version of clockworkmod. Try flashing an older version of CWM in fastboot.

This is likely the OP's issue. There are just too many incompatibilities with the newer recoveries. If you stick with 5.5.0.2 (for maguro), and 5.5.0.4 (for toro), you will see that you will have significantly less issues...
I have a Verizon galaxy nexus with paranoid rom all you do is go back to stick ics and use recovery to flash and it might get stuck in boot screen just take out battery and put back in and should just start up

Sucess!!
Thank you, thank you, all of you. I finally installed the rom last night and its truly awesome. I didn't know that rom manager allows you to revert to older cwm versions. That did the trick. I now have some catching up to do.
Thanks again,
Mr. Keith
