AOSP ROM? Try this [FIX] Data Encryption Problem AOSP Roms
Wish you guys would try looking up a solution to these problems BEFORE you just go and reset, wipe, flash and lord knows what else that ends up entirely messing up the device where the solution to the original problem itself was relatively simple.
Which is better, paying $700 for a new device or taking just 30mins(If it's even that long) to search for a solution. You're not the only person that has a problem like this...
Try the above and let us know what's happening.

Hey Guys,
So I am totally stumped at the moment.
I have used the Hasoon2000 HTC all-in-one and performed the following:
Unlocked the bootloader
flashed the recovery
Installed SuperSU
My phone is rooted and all is good but now everytime i try to open an app that has something to do with i think either the gpu or sound it freexes then restarts.
What should i try?? I have tried to flash stock recovery with no success and wiped the cache and tried full factory reset. All results in the same issue. I ahve even tried to remove the SU in the system/xbin and bin folders.
Should i try flashing with a stock rom?
Any help is much appreciated

Which apps are doing it, are they stock or 3rd party??
You will find there are still a lot of apps out there that dont work or arent too clever on ICS, so if its from the market id investigate its ics compatability b4 you do anything.
It has happened to me, PROPMODDER, it loads, but as soon as you try to alter something it all goes wrong.
Failing that, try booting into recovery, wipe the cache, dalvik cache, and finally fix permissions, see if that helps any, if it is stock apps causing the problem and you dont want to use 3rd party apps you could also boot into fastboot, open a cmd prompty changing to your ADB directory were fastboot is and try FASTBOOT ERASE CACHE, this can sometimes help with issues.
Good luck with it, i hope you solve it.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried clearing both caches and fixing permission (clockwork recovery) but it has made no difference. it is any app including stock that cause this issue. Seems to be anything related to the GPU or sound (pretty sure sound).
I have the srock RUU, should i lock the boot loader and install the RUU (1.28)??
as a basic test i just tried Youtube and as soon as the video begins to play it freezes for 10 seconds then restarts
Attempted to install orignial RUU but got an image error unpn installation
I checked my phone which matchs the below file, dont know why it thinks its wrong
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe

Did you lock your boot loader before flashing the ruu?
Also, did you read some threads around here so you could understand what you are doing to your phone? I'm asking this because the all in one tool is nice, but it's also dangerous when you don't quite understand how it works
Well no i didnt have the bootloader relocked as it wouldnt load the OS back up, it just kept booting to bootloader. Turns out that was a good thing. Ran RUU and now im back to the beggining lol thanks all for your help. I will do some more reading before I root again
Any recommendations? all i want to do is a simple root to connect a ps3 controller lol

Ok. I foolishly enabled encryption on my i711 and after putting in the password, the volumes unlock and the system starts. The problem is that if the screen goes off for any reason, the phone reboots. Tried all sorts of things to correct and decided I no longer wanted the phone encrypted. There is no way back. Ok, so I thought I could do a factory reset... No dice. The phone reboots and all is still encrypted and there.
Next I tried clockworkmod but couldn't do ANYTHING there because the encrypted volumes aren't mountable. I couldn't factory reset, install a new rom, etc.
Next I went to ODIN and tried to repartition. No luck there either. I flashed clockworkmod again for good measure and even tried Nand Erase All.
After this I booted into the phone and tried to repartition... Now I have a phone that displays the lovely CM10 boot screen but never gets passed that. I can still get into recovery.
Any thoughts on how to undo the encryption and reflash a rom?

I have some very bad news for you.... Encryption is a one way street. Once encrypted the only way back is to flash stock via fastboot.
I can't even start to explain how to use fastboot as I have never been in a situation where I have needed it.
recoveries lose all access on encrypted devices so this is the only way.
Here is some links to get you started... Please do research before you begin the process and make sure you've obtained the appropriate files. I will take no responsibility for bricking your device.

Hello, I apologize if many people have already asked for help with this issue but I have looked over the forum many times and none of the solutions have applied to me.
I was running 7.0 and my Nexus 5X had a random crash and went into BootLoop. I being stupid, flashed the wrong boot.img at first but not sure if that has damaged the phone. I upon realizing my mistake, cleared the original one and flashed all the right imgs. One thing i'm not too sure about is whether to lock the oem after flashing everything even though it will wipe everything or leave it unlocked till it actually boots, or does this make no difference. Regardless, open flashing everything I still encounter bootloop. I am able to go to the fastboot menu, I am not able to run recovery successfully, I am able to go to the download and firmware update screen. My laptop detects the device as an Android.
Here's what I need:
Can someone please tell me what I need to do to start fresh, in case I went wrong anywhere to fix any partitions any kernels and then reflash all the ROMs in order to have my phone working again. Also, does it matter what firmware I am flashing?
If you have any questions let me know,
Thanks!
Hello,
I've been using my device normally, when all of a sudden it froze and shut itself down. I've tried booting it up multiple times, but it wouldn't do. I thought that it might be up to the battery, so I've gotten a new one, but it's not up to it.
However, I've been able to enter TWRP Recovery. I thought that wiping data, cache and dalvik would help me get rid of my problems, but it didn't. Obviously, I can't mount anything, because everything seems to be encrypted. I wanted to flash another ROM, but I can't do so without connecting the storage with my PC. Now I'm cluelessly stuck in the Recovery.
Can anyone help me? I'd be very grateful if so. I might have made a foolish mistake somewhere, so please don't get harsh on me. The custom rom I've been using is CandySix
Having some serious trouble. I rebooted my phone and it asked for my password once it was done as always but this time it said it was wrong. I'm certain I used the correct password but even tried my other alternatives to be sure and still a no go. This isn't the decryption option password you get when booting but my lockscreen password. I booted into recovery and it asks me for an encryption password that I never set but I know this is a common issue with twrp. Tried to go back into android but wouldn't let me because of the "wrong" password so I used the failsafe and went into recoveries file manager and deleted my lockscreen settings to remove my lockscreen passcode (tried and proven method, done it dozen times before). Got past my lockscreen this time but now it was saying starting android forever. Figured it was something with the passcode being deleted so I just decidd to factory reset from the recovery and take that loss. NOW the problem is upon booting the rom in trying to start the setup, I'm stuck on the "just a sec..." screen that comes up after you click start. What do I do from here? I cant access anything in recovery because the encryption passcode issue so I'm kind of stuck. Also I'm a work right now and we cant connect our phones (or any USB for that matter) to the computers and laptops because theyre government property and on a secured line. Any help PLEASE, Ill be home later and can try more then.
Well since you already did a factory reset on the device you mine as well just do a clean install of the OFW then get twrp back and flash your ROM etc back. Would probably be better then to deal with everything going on with the device right now.

Hey, I got my phone back working after that and rooted again and flashed same rom. NOW another problem, I rebooted my phone and its not accepting my PIN anymore, nor my fingerprint, and I cant reset through TWRP because of encryption. WTF is the issue, how do I fix this or do I have to flash-all again?
