I just installed the bump'd TWRP and CM12 on my G3. I'm trying to encrypt it, since I need it that way for my work email/calendar, but I'm running into a problem with it.
I charge the phone fully and plug it in as required, then go to Settings/Security/Encrypt Phone. I enter my PIN and start the process, but all it does is flash the green android on a black background with what looks like a gear in the middle of it, then goes straight to the Cyanogen boot splash screen, where it sticks until I pull the battery to restart it.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or, does anyone have an idea of what I might be able to try?

I am having the same problem. Unfortunately, I have not gotten any answer. Sorry I couldn't help, but at least we're not alone.
same here, have had same issue with multiple dailies. do you think this is with twrp or cm12?
I've managed, with the latest CM12.1, to encrypt my LG G3 (d855)....However...TWRP cannot decrypt the partitions so you cannot flash anymore updates until TWRP is updated....

How did you do it? I've tried to encrypt with 27/08/2015 nightly and I couldn't. It said encryption failed and I had to wipe it.
I'm using the 26/08 (UK date format) build - This is the one that broke Chrome. I just encrypted the phone using the settings. I've been trying every couple of weeks for sometime. In the past I get the CM logo and nothing happens. If I remove the battery then the phone boots OK...so clearly the encryption hadn't started. This time I left it and walked away. 30 mins later I went back to the phone and it was prompting for the encryption password after boot....So all good for me....except TWRP cannot decrypt the encrypted partitions...
I am using the D855 model.
I'm having similar issues. I was able to encrypt after installing the Resurrection Remix v5.5.5 but now TWRP shows internal storage as 0mb and throws out a bunch of mount errors. So can't backup or load anything new through TWRP now.
The only way I was able to change ROMs was to flash the stock ROM through the LG flashtool, thereby unrooting the phone and then starting the whole process from scratch. It's a big pain because everytime I do that I need to get admin approval to setup my work email and then need to encrypt again , which locks me into the existing ROM again!
Ughh!! Can't wait for a solution top this problem.
Hi.
I have a problem with my D855. My phone is rooted and runs the fulmics ROM. Everything was working fine, , on Fulmics 5.3, except than one day, I was using my phone normally and then it crashed. I saw the phone rebooting, but for some reason it got stuck. The phone tried to boot unsuccessfully until the "firmware update" went through, after what it reboots again (unsuccessfully) and so on.
At that time, I was able to access twrp, do some backup, and flash properly with a downgraded version of fulmics (from 5.3 to 4.1).
It was able to boot again and use my phone like before. Yet, after one month of usage, the same problem happened on version 4.1. The phone crashed and now cannot boot.
Any idea of where it is coming from? Should I go back to stock? Should I contact customer service?
What did you do before the phone crashes ?
I think you probably should flash the stock ROM and wait for an other crash... or not.

I haven't done anything special. I think that the first time I was playing on candy crush. The second time I was just looking at pictures in my gallery.
I was using the ROM without any tweaks or extra modules such as Xposed. Just regular use.
Update on my situation: I switched back to stock ROM and it seems to work OK for now (it has been 4 days). So I will wait and see if new problems happen. By the way, it was extremely difficult for me to get back to Stock directly from fulmics ROM. I tried several methods that I have found on xda based on LGUP or LG Flash tool without success. For some reason I was not able to connect the phone to my PC in download mode.
The only way that I found was to use a nandroid backup that I did just after rooting the phone and that was based on stock ROM.

You can also use the Stock rom flashable from twrp. So you can wipe the system partition and get a "better situation" than a nandroid backup that should be with an old version.
Or use this that has also root and other improvements.

Same problem here. Normal usage suddenly started to reboot and now it's stuck in boot loop
Coming from Fulmics too - stopped working one fine day.
Now, continues to boot-loop at the initial LG screen. Trying to get into the recovery shows me the the 'Factory Reset' screen, but beyond that leads to boot-loops again. Even the Download mode loops!
I'm at my wits end without a solution in sight.

Thank you for this advice. I was able to update my stock ROM after the Nandroid backup through LGUP, but your method would have been faster.
But anyway, I am waiting to see if I am stuck with bootloops again, using non-root stock version, so I can send it to customer service if this happen again.

Are you using Fulmics ROM as well? Can you have access to TWRP? I was able to connect to a PC in the recovery mode and to transfer files before flashing, in case you need some basic backup...

Silly question, but are you sure that you selected "Yes" when the screen asks you about factory reset? you have to press "volume down" and the "power button", since the default answer is no.

Yes, of course I was able to access TWRP successfully earlier.
Curiously enough, the phone boot-loops in regular startup, Download mode and trying to get to recovery. However, it doesn't restart itself and fall into a loop, while on the Factory Reset menu. Am I correct in assuming that the battery could not be the root cause of the overall problem? Because if it was, it would likely loop even on this Factory Reset menu as well as far as I understand.
Unfortunately, the phone restarts as soon as it lands in the Download mode so I cannot even restore to stock.
EDIT: Okay, weirdly enough it just booted and reached the homescreen before restarting again. What I did was let it charge to a 100% and tried booting while plugged in. Could it be the battery after all? Though this exact set of steps hasn't been helpful before.
I purchased a 5x for my wife so she can get on Project Fi. They said it was stuck boot looping, thinking I could solve the problem.
Here are the basics.
-Yes, I can get into boot loader (the menu of start, recovery, etc), but I can't get into TWRP. Tried flashing TWRP a few times and nothing. SkipSoft recognizes that its installed though.
-After bootlooping for awhile, it will load normally and work fine. However it wants to update to the newest version of android. I run the ota and back to bootlooping. It will show the android dude and say "error". Will eventually start bootlooping and then boot normally.
-I have flashed different stock versions. I tried the newest, the second to newest and the last M available. All will flash but continue the bootlooping.
Bootlooping can be anywhere from 1 minute to 10+.
The device will also first display something like, "Your device software can't be checked for corruptions. Please lock the bootloader"
But it'll show up whether the bootloader is locked or not.
The phone will freeze at some point. Whether right away or after 5 minutes. It freezes and then restarts and goes through the bootloop again.
So what else can/should I do? I've never dealt with Kernels but wondering if the last owner did something to them. Is there a way to flash stock kernels just incase or is this done when I flash a Google Factory Stock Image?
Would flashing a non-stock rom be a good idea?
Thanks
So I tried sideloading. I was able to get into the stock recovery. I tried wiping cache and data, then tried installing the newest stock rom.
Everything seemed to work. Then I had to restart. A message popped up after the same "Your device software can't be checked for corruptions. Please lock the bootloader". It had the title in blue stating "Encryption unsuccessful".
Then said, "Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. 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 a single button that says, "Reset Phone".
Problem still persists.
Help please...
Why did you bought a bootlooped phone?

When my Nexus 5x got into bootloop, I sent it to LG and they had to change the whole circuit. So yeah.
When you flash Google Factory Image, it flash the stock kernel.
If you have warranty, then send it to Google/LG. If you haven't got, then you're in problem. New motherboard needed, but it's expensive.
See the following thread for more info.

Hardware bootloop can't be fix by software.

Exactly. Everyone has either been able to get a replacement under warranty or was pretty much screwed if it was out of warranty.

A couple of days ago my phone started crashing randomly, so I decided to deactivate all my Magisk packages which seemed to fix the issue, but the next day it crashed again and it wouldn't go past the boot screen anymore. It crashes the moment the three little white boot up dots appear on the screen, so I decided to clear all the data through TWRP and flash a stock rom all over again. All seemed fine until I tried to install TWRP and root the rom. My phone is now stuck constantly crashing on the boot up screen no matter what I do. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.

Try FORMAT data option under twrp and go to advance and repair all the partition. Restart recovery then flash custom rom. Xiaomi eu. Let see if it got stuck again or not..

I've tried that and it doesn't seem to do anything. I've formatted all data and even repaired the partitions. Nothing seems to work.

What is with flashing xiaomi eu specifically? Shouldn't any custom rom work?

Nothing serious actually but to troubleshoot and to see if 'stock rom' causes that problem rather than 'custom rom'.. but its okay if you want to use custom rom.
Hey! Need a little help. I updated to Android 11 Beta 2. Now my phone is stuck on a boot loop. A li'l different though, phone boots up normally and stays on the lockscreen and alive. Can receive calls. But once I unlock with the pattern it shows ' Phone is starting' works for a good 2 seconds and then ends up on infinite bootloop until I Power down. How do I access my files on PC ? If I can get just few files out of it then maybe I can perform a factory reset . Please HELP!

some older app is causing the loop you mayneed to factory reset through recovery or flash factory images to ur devices ,( please backup your all data and i will advice you to remove the screen lock if possible as it may cause issues after flashing older or newer images
That's what I am asking. How do I backup?

I use this tool in my computer to update my phone.
Make sure to follow and read the instructions.
Since you're phone is in boot loop, put your phone in into bootloader

Facing the same trouble, did it help?
Hi, I finally managed to solve this!! Was able to get the phone working with data intact.
So I got exactly the same problem yesterday and was looking around for a solution when I bumped on this thread, the solution suggested to use Android Flash Tool can work only if the bootloader is already unlocked, USB debugging is on and you edit the flash.bat file to remove -w from the command line, which would not work in my case since my bootloader is locked and unlocking through ADB would wipe all data
So the only good solution is to do an OTA UPDATE USING ADB SIDELOAD, I just downloaded the OTA file, connected the phone to computer, booted into recovery and used ADB to sideload the OTA and boom, the phone is its pristine self again, with ALL DATA intact
