Folks,
I had encrypted my Samsung Note 3 Neo and wanted to decrypt it. Upon pressing the decrypt button, a green Android logo showed up with black background with no progress bar (no words either). Then it just hung there until it reset by itself.
After the reset, it is now stuck with error message Decrypt error and only have an option to reset the device and once I click reset, it goes into recovery mode.
Please help.

Device: UK LG G Pad 8.3 (V500)
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
ROM: Cyanogenmod 12.1 (Stable 2015-10-07). This one: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/get/jenkins/129284/cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO338-v500.zip
I encrypted the tablet at the weekend and now it says:
"Decryption unsuccessful: The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your tablet, you need to perform a factory reset".
Clicking the "Reset Tablet" button and TWRP loads but sticks at the initial blue logo loading screen. It doesn't get past this.
If I press the G Pad hardware buttons to load TWRP Recovery it gets past the TWRP loading screen but:
TWRP asks me for the Decryption Password. I enter the password and it then it says:
"Trying Decryption with your password:
Updating Partition details... Full SELinux support is present."
It then sticks there and doesn't progress further.
I'm selling the tablet so am happy to Factory Reset it but can't get the tablet to load to do this?
Thanks
Fixed.
I tapped Cancel when it asked for the Encryption password and TWRP loaded. I could then Factory Reset it.
I've no idea what caused the data to corrupt when encrypting in the first place but it's working again.
everytime i turn on my phone a screen pops up saying "your phone is encrypted"
it asks me for a password (lockscreen password) but i never had a lockscreen password, trying diferent passwords and pressing "decrypt" a screen appears with the following:
"decryption unsuccessful.
The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
then there is just a button that says "reset phone" it sends me to this screen regardless of what password i enter. when i press the reset phone botton, it takes me to TWRP recovery to reset my phone, but when i try to wipe any partitions it does nothing. i tried reinstalling the rom and the "phone is encrypted" screen appears again. i tried installing a different rom and same issue. i tried wiping the data partition through adb shell, but nothing. i've tried everything i could find online but the result keeps being the same, it takes forever to boot and then im greeted by the "your phone is encrypted" screen.
anyone knows what i could do?

Hi everyone,
First of all, i've read some posts about similar issues but i couldn't find one that exactly matched mine.
My phone was working perfectly last night, but today when i got up it was turned off.
I imagined that the battery had drained during the night, so i plugged it to the charger and after a while i turned the phone on.
It started alright but then it got stuck on the Samsung logo. It should then go to the "PIN code" screen but instead just stays there.
The Power+Home+Volume Up combination shows me the recovery mode menu with the android lying on his back and with a triangular red exclamation sign. Below there is a message saying "no command". The following options are allowed:
- reeboot system now;
- apply update from ADB;
- apply update from external storage;
- wipe data/factory reset;
- wipe cache partition;
- apply update from cache;
The Power+Home+Volume Down combination shows me the Update/download menu and it allows me to cancel or go to download mode.
My phone is not rooted, everything is original or updated as sugested/requested by the phone.
I haven't installed any new apps yesterday.
So my questions are:
1 - Can I fix this without deleting all of my data from the internal memory, or can still backup my data?
2 - How can I fix this?
Please take into consideration that i am a complete stranger to the "developer's technical language".
Thanks in advance
I just rebooted my phone, get the "password required after restart" message, enter my password, and it immediately jumps back to the lockscreen and gives me the same message. If I deliberately enter the wrong password, it gives me a wrong password message, so in the first case it is recognizing my password as correct, just not unlocking.
It seems to be the same problem described here:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/yMUh6a2SVLs;context-place=forum/nexus
I've tried rebooting, tried booting into recovery and wiping cache to no avail, tried booting into safe mode, hoping to avoid having to do a factory reset.
I can still receive phone calls and can activate the camera by swiping, so phone is running fine, just can't get past the lockscreen.
Thoughts?
So if it is not the boot up screen to unlock the encrypted partition but the Android start screen, go into recovery, delete the password db file and you are done
in TWRP, go to Advanced > File Manager and navigate to /data/system.
to me this happened after restoring a twrp backup
Hi,
i recently bought two Samsung tab 3 10.1 tablets, however when i turn it on i get the message
"Enter you pin or password to use the encrypted device memory"
I have tried to do a factory reset which will not work and i have also tried to install a factory image, on which it goes on the device but loops back to the pin/password screen.
Can anyone help? i am willing to pay for help
You reflashed stock firmware with Odin?
