AOKP Encryption Fails

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.

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.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus can't boot up

Hi,
I have GNex for about 2 months now so I decided to root it. I did it ok and everything worked fine. But than
I decided to install custom kernel so I did it. Well after that I cant boot my Nexus, its stuck at its first boot animation
with white Google in a middle and little lock in a bottom. Only thing I can do is go to bootloader and acces recovery mod.
I tried to do pretty much everything in a recovery menu but its still not booting.
What can I do to restore stock rom with stock kernel or I dont know what can helps here. Pleas I will be realy greatful I am
a little bit noob to this

Reflash your ROM if you have any on your SD card. Also you can use a toolkit and flash the factory image.

My internal storage is empty, no ROMs or any factory images on it.
toolkit is a good idea but I dont have turned on USB debugging, isnt that problem?
But I will try

I don't think it matters if you are flashing the stock image. You can also Odin in a worst case scenario thing.

I understand the hatred for toolkits because it causes complacency but its extremely easy to fix a device using it. Everyone should know how to use adb but I have used both and they both have worked perfectly for me.

im sorry, but if you think typing a few commands in to flash the stock images is hard, you really are lazy.

I never said it was hard. What is your major grief with toolkits? How is using a toolkit any different than flashing someone else's ROM? You can compile it yourself but its much more efficient to just flash and go. This will be my last response unless the OP has any more issues he needs help with. Good luck with fixing your phone no matter what method you would like to use.

because when the toolkit fails, it fails hard and then the user of said toolkit has no idea how to fix anything and posts threads on here saying "i bricked my phone and used such and such toolkit"
the people helping them have no idea where to even begin to try and troubleshoot the problem as you dont know the failure point. the toolkit just says "complete" or "done"
that is my major beef with toolkits.

Need Major Help, Never ending boot loop even after flash/wipe

Ok this is weird and maybe this phone just went bad but I was using the phone and I went open the xfinity app and the phone rebooted, now no matter what I wipe and reflash rom's etc it still boot loops. I can get to the start button when you enter your information but I can't get past the sign in just restarts and these are on roms that have worked for me in the past no issues. And it happens with any rom I try so far. I have a sprint galaxy nexus and I'm afraid nothing else can really be done. I have formatted everything only thing I have not done is flash to stock

[Q] My Nexus is stuck in 4.1.2 stock

Hey All,
Just got a friends Nexus and it was last used with 4.1.2 jellybean, I tried updating via OTA in settings but there is no update there and says my phone is up to date. I'd like at least 4.2.2 although 4.3 would do well
I've tried using methods of clearing data from the Google framework but that did not work.
Also I have only just installed everything i want on it as i had to factory reset.
Any help?
Thanks in advance

With fastboot. No toolkits of course.

and to add to this, to find all relevant info on your build I believe you can find it in bottom left when you boot into fastboot/bootloader
which is done by holding both volume buttons and power button down all at the same time

I think I may have screwed up pretty majorly,
I rooted and installed cwm as usual and tried flashing updates but that didn't work
Then I decided that I would install a custom ROM on it which I wasn't going to, so now I'm stuck as I wiped data and tried flashing both pa and slim but both failed, I assume this is because of an older version of cwm which was used because it was needed to flash the updates.
So now I am stuck without an os and when I boot it just goes through the Google logo twice then goes to cwm.
What is suggested for these situations aha? Thanks

Just use adb sideload. Saved my ass a couple of times too.

Thanks but I found a really good method on XDA because I believe it was soft bricked. I used Odin to flash stock 4.2.2 and that got rid of root and custom recovery. Once that was done I then updated to 4.3 in the settings via ota
Thank you for all you help
I have no idea about any of this adb sideload stuff so I'll learn about it before I screw up next time aha

thanks
kreez (im new sry if its less information)

How are you even turning it on to get to a boot loop if the button is broken?
there is no way I can think of in your case. Sorry.

I plug the USB cable and pull the battery out, put it back in and unplug the USB...
So i need to replace my power button so i can boot to recovery/download mode?

If it's stuck in a boot loop, yes. I can't think of any other way I'm afraid.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

If you want download mode, you could try a USB jig.

I thought about that, but didn't suggest because he will almost certainly still have boot problems until he can boot recovery and factory reset.
Worth a try if a jig is handy, but if you have to order or make one it'll probably just add more time to getting it fixed.

Edit: I flashed the StockROM back to my S3 and for any reason it is in Stock recovery mode. How do i get out of there w/o my power button? My computer don't recognize my phone so ADB won't work :3 (

Battery pull I guess is probably the only way. If you're running completely stock, you'll probably need to flash an insecure kernel for ADB to work in recovery.
This may be of use to you though....If you use the KT747 4.4.2 kernel, when you plug it in it will turn on the device if it's already off. You have to be on a stock based 4.4.2 rom to use it though.
I know it doesn't address your current issue, but thought I'd mention it in case something like that was useful for now.

But how i can flash a Kernel if im stuck, in Stock Recovery i cant access the menus with the home button or touch, just with the power button.. and the phone isn't on device manager and Odin don't recognize it too..
If i pull the battery and wait(did it like 2h) and install it back, it reboots in recovery though

You can't flash anything from stock recovery. You'd need to install TWRP. Are you rooted?
How did you flash the stock rom?
You really need to get odin working though. Uninstall kies. Try different USB drivers, different cables, ports....

try using adb and reboot the phone using the reboot command or get it to fastboot an external bootimage, if still no luck fastboot.
