Encryption Failed, please reset device

Hi All,
I have done a factory reset both through the phones automated recovery as well as through CWM and I cannot get past this. What would be my options? I've also tried flashing custom roms and that has not worked either. I didn't put on encryption before all of this.
Thank you

Kies does nothing at all either. It simply says "Doesn't support my device"
What can I possibly do? I am trying to see if maybe the stock open europe firmware might do the trick but I have high doubts it will

Right on, thank you so much. I searched forever it feels like for a ATT stock tar and never found it. I will report progress as soon as I get it flashed

Hi when attempting to flash the kernal through odin it says the hash tag isn't valid, I am re-downloading the files but this also is the same result for the att odin rom as well. Any ideas?

Success!!! Thank you mrhaley, you're a DOCTOR haley in my book!

Unfortunately they haven't put out the "official" ATT tar yet on there, I was going to try the Europe open and flash the mobile on there afterwards but luckily one of those threads had someone who ripped the tar out in some other way

Thanks I had a kernal but it was the stock image that was wrong that I guess shut down the internal storage. I tried *only* flashing the kernal first but the encryption failed error continued, only after flashing the stock rom did it go away.
Now it is back to rooted and running the hybrid rom

UVUAMDL modem ?

I've searched but can't find an UVUAMDL baseband file to flash anywhere, any idea why that is ?
I'm on rooted UVUAMDL stock rom but still on UVUAMDB baseband and I've been losing network connection 3 times today in areas where my gf's S4 on stock UVUAMDL has been rock solid, so I think having the modem mismatch the rom is probably the issue...

Another thread actually has info that this is an issue with the phone. I'm sorry, but I'm unable to locate the thread again.

I dont think its a issue....been flashable modems on every galaxy phone including both international s4 so irs just a matter of someone who knowshow to make it

Can someone with the know how make one?....thanks in advance

I'm using the Wicked v2 ROM that is using MDB as the baseband and the only network issue I'm having is connecting to the LTE network. Phone connection is fine, 4G connection works great, but whenever I'm in an area that has the new T-mobile LTE network, my phone loses its data connection unless I force it to use the 4G connection.

I had same exact problem. I Odin'd the MDL tar which put me at MDL baseband and that fixed my problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258628

Also tried this last night with no success. Still on older baseband. I believe its what breaks my WiFi. The only temporary solution I've found is to flash a custom kernel I found here. Its fixed my WiFi issues but I'd eventually would like to have my baseband upgraded too.

i'll try to tmw. this is just what i had on hand and already uploaded
we now have a modem thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282342

Wow, that was crazy. I tried heimdall flashing the modem at first and nothing. So I made one of my flashable update .zips I had made for T999 and still nothing!
Then I found this thread and tried something crazy:
(1) Download mode + heimdall flash of a few files w/o reboot, then hard reboot back to Download Mode
(2) heimdall flash of same files w/o reboot (it should error)), then hard reboot back to Download Mode
(3) heimdall print-pit (forces it to reboot cleanly)
I did this with all the firmware files including the bootloader but it was scary. I tried to do all the other firmware files at once and it wrote all but aboot.mbn and failed to write that one out. It was worrying since I the other bootloader files had succeeded and I was worrying I could possibly brick it. I repeated the above steps for aboot.mbn and got it to update as well. It seems the above steps can't be used for all the firmware files at once, but at least a few of them. It seems heimdall can get into a bad state with communicating with the device if too many flashes are pushed at once.
This was with a clean git checkout of heimdall from its github repo the other night. Unfortunately heimdall seems to have a bunch of bugs lately. 1.4rc1 (shipped with Debian and other distros) is broken for the S3. --no-reboot option suppresses reboot on S3 and S4 but further commands are not accepted, requiring manual hard reboot. Earlier versions don't work at all.
It worked out for me in the end but gosh I don't know how I'd modify the script to work short of someone having some sort of way of overriding the write protection. I tried dd manually in recovery and in CM and nothing... Seems like some sort of NAND write protection is going on. If I dd a modem to mmcblk0p1 and read it back, the content doesn't change
Maybe we need something like wpthis.ko from HTC Vision days ...
Anyway I got my wife's phone on UVUAMDL w/o Odin but boy it wasn't pretty. I made an updater script but it doesn't actually work do to the above reasons.

Anyone know what's up with the crazy write protection on the mmcblk0 partitions? It seems nothing ever gets written to mmcblk0p1 for example if I try to write NON-HLOS.bin out to it.
Major props for the modem-only Odin package for the S4, but unfortunately not all of us here have/want to use Windows, so I'd like to figure out a flashable update.zip solution to simplify this like I've done on the T999 S3.
Unfortunately my script was a no-op and only doing a bunch of crazy stuff through heimdall and hard rebooting the device several times over was the only way for me to achieve a full MDL firmware upgrade for S4 that included NON-HLOS.bin and modem.bin (the two modem firmwares on S4), rpm.mbn (Resource and Power Management), sbl{2,3}.mbn and aboot.mbn (MDL bootloader), and tz.mbn (MDL Trust Zone)
I noticed Download Mode had "Write Protect: On" -- I don't remember if my S3 says this or not.
Is anyone working on a way to get around this? Maybe the hack can be integrated into an update.zip script that updates the firmware. MDB radio / firmware seemed really bad on the S4. It would sometimes have trouble making 911 calls (!!!) and was overall really lame with power usage and data. I'm still playing with MDL to see how much improvement there is, but seems like a nice win.

Flashing t mobile stock rom on att note 2

I am going to switch my service from att to t mobile. Can I odin, a t mobile stock Rom on the att phone? I want to have wifi calling on it. I believe all the hardware is the same and it should work. I just want to make sure. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I did the opposite. I put a T-Mobile note 2 onto the AT&T network. I asked if I could put an AT&T rom in the T-Mobile phone and I was told it "could" cause compatibility issues. I went ahead and put the matching T-Mobile software in the phone.
Of course you should see what the more experienced folks have to say. I have been curious myself. I've been thinking about trying an AT&T rom in the phone. They did say the hardware is pretty much the same, but that it could cause issues with the factory installed software that remains even after a rom install.
Hopefully we hear from someone soon.

You can't flash the T-Mobile radio to the AT&T phone but, mine is working every well with this setup.

Did you flash via recovery? Or Odin?

I know this is an old thread, but how do you do this? I've got an AT&T phone that I would like to load the stock T-Mobile build on. I've got a .md5 file for ODIN. Is it as simple as untar-ing the file, deleting the modem image, then retar-ing it and generating the .md5 file?
An additional complication is that I've enabled all of the radios using a Qualcomm utility.

I need to look and see if I can remember the files to remove. I know I did a trial and error thing and I can't seem to find my saved stock ROM. I'll keep looking for it though.

I assume it was the modem file, but I don't know for sure. The bigger question I have is how to re-create the ODIN file. I untar-ed a stock T-Mobile image from this thread. I deleted the modem.bin file, and tried to retar it according to the instructions here. I tried flashing it, but it's been "flashing" the boot image for over an hour. I'm about to reboot it, and try something else. Maybe tar-ing up each individual image, and flashing them one at a time? I don't understand why ODIN won't let me flash a .img or .bin file, but it'll allow a .tar that contains a .img or .bin? I'm hoping I haven't bricked it!

What happened with the process? I can't seem to find my old file(s) that I flashed, must have deleted it since I haven't had that phone in quite some time.
What I did was, I started to delete files within the ROM like modem, tz, hidden etc. until it fully booted.
Sorry I couldn't be more useful about this. I should have put it in my response thread on how I did flashing process.

Instead of running around and getting no where, why not download and Odin flash CF-Autoroot
which is the best rooter to be found and can be directly downloaded here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Once you downloaded it, extract the tar file inside the zip and put the tar file into Odin's PDA slot/tab.
Then go ahead and flash it.
You will be pleasantly surprised that your phone will be able to make and receive calls again unless
there it had issues even before you flashed using techfanatic9's method (whatever it was).
Good luck!

Which exact rom to you have installed right now?
Also check your baseband to see if it says: MK2 or MDL
You can check the baseband by going to:
Settings>More>About device
Then scroll down to the Baseband and see if it displays MK2 or MDL.
Without knowing those two things it's not easy to help you much.
Good luck!

[Q] What do I flash to get SGH-M919 working again?

Hi xda, I hope your Friday is going well.
EDIT: My calling problem was not fixed. I reflashed 4.4.2 NB4 Modem (twice to make sure it stuck) and the calling still does not work. Did something just completely fry when I had CM11 on this thing? Any ideas anybody? I don't even hear a dial tone if I am the one dialing out, the call still goes through though.
Everything below was my original post which has been resolved, didn't want to start a new thread though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TL;DR: My T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 (SGH-M919) is unable to boot stock rom, and I am unable to enter recovery. I get seandroid messages trying to do either. Fortunately, the phone can enter download mode. What do I need to do or flash to get this phone booting again? Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and help out.
Below is the long story with details:
1. The phone was given to me running stock Android/TouchWiz. Unfortunately, I do not know what version but I assume it was whatever was the latest version as of late April.
2. I rooted the phone using Odin and CF Auto Root.
3. I created a backup of this newly rooted stock rom.
4. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11
5. After a while I discovered that I could answer calls but I could not hear nor be heard during the call.
6. I restored to the stock rom using the backup I made in step 3.
7. The calling issue continued, so I figured I would just unroot and go back to like-new factory settings. This way I could take the phone in to be repaired or whatever.
8. Following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2336392, I attempted to flash k0nane's UVUAMDL Official Tar
9. Odin got stuck connecting to my device, I believe it was because I did not run Odin as admin. I pulled the battery and repeated this step while running Odin as admin.
10. The flash was successful, however during the phone's first boot it got stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen for about 30 minutes or so. I pulled the battery again.
11. Anytime I put the battery back in the phone, it will attempt to boot and hang at the T-Mobile screen, I believe this is a boot loop?
Looking online, people suggest going into recovery and wiping but I cannot enter recovery. I just get the seandroid not enforcing messages. I'm very hesitant to keep looking through the forums and trying things because I feel like I'm on the edge of bricking the phone if I haven't already.

I don't think the flash was successful because it wouldn't give you those messages, and you would need to flash either 4.3 or 4.4.2 not 4.2.2 (MDL) Try flashing a newer firmware version.. If it was updated to the newest then I would try 4.4.2

Ok so I flashed the wrong rom then. I hate to ask but where could I find a 4.4.2 stock rom? I just found a rom I believe will work but the file is titled "M919UVUFNB4_M919TMBFNB4_TMB" not sure if this is 4.4.2 or newer?

This is where I obtained the rom above that I wasn't sure was the newest.
I flashed this rom and everything worked, thank you both.
Any ideas on what happened with the phone call issue? My friend that gave me the phone said it was working just fine when she had it, so I assume somehow the rooting or CM11 screwed something up? Weirdly, calling through WiFi works just fine.

The only thing that can foul up your phone like that would be a bad cm flash or preflash, it's super important to read and read again, check the thread for support from members and resolutions to problems before you consider the build for your phone. Ask questions and double check everything before you take the plunge.
I assume that the calling problem is fixed, a corrupt modem may cause that and re flashing the modem will correct this.

My friend gave the phone to me. She got an S5 and didn't want to bother with selling this S4 so she just gave it to me. It was completely pure and stock, with calls working. Something screwed up during the CM11 flash I guess.
WiFi calls still work, everything works except calls.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong? I flashed the sammobile NB4 tar twice via PDA in Odin as usual. For the modem, I flashed the modem bin via Phone in Odin twice. Thank you for your help, by the way.

New term for CM, "complicated maneuver" ,.
Reflashing firmware may do it. Can't hurt either.

I flashed both Fenny's firmware and a baseband he also provided. Did both twice, and calls are still not working.
I was doing some research on this whole "Radio: Unknown" thing and I started seeing threads talking about flashes corrupting the phone's EFS partition. I never made a backup of mine, so I have nothing to restore to. Is it possible that I could use someone else's EFS backup and then use it to restore my phone's EFS partition? Does it work like that?

Flashing modems and such with a custom rom installed often fails. Did you try doing a restore to full stock using Odin?
It sounds like the phoen has Android 4.4 on it already so you will need to flash the full 4.4 package (can't go back to 4.3 or 4.2)
Try and, boot hte phoen without modifying it, and see if calls work then.
The EFS thing is about the IMEI number. Does your device show an IMEI number in settings? If it does, your EFS isn't the problem. If it doesn't....well then yeah. Problem is pretty much narrowed down.

I have restored the phone to full stock and have been using it that way since I started this thread. Everything is just like fresh from the factory (except for the knox counter being tripped obviously). Calls still didn't work. An IMEI number still shows up the phone's settings. Using WiFi calling hasn't been that bad at all, but I'm screwed in the case of a real emergency with this thing.
