Hello, i have tried with CM11, CM12.1 & CM13, with all of them, the encryption process fails : phone restart almost immediatly and things are same as before. Why does it fail? I'm trying to understand. Having this issue on other phone as well. Is this cause of recovery?

New to the world of Custom ROMs. A week ago I installed CM 13 which took great courage on my part and wanted to share my experience, issues and discuss possible solutions.
My phone had the latest lollipop on it. And McCafee locked. The steps that worked for me where
1) Did a factory reset and bumped into mccafee.
2) Tried download mode but kill switch was enabled.
3) Rebooted the phone to face mccafee, tried 123465 pin which worked.
4) Disengaged McCafee but not before transferring ownership to my email.
5) Tried rooting didnt work with any method.
6) Rolled back to d software version stock lollipop.
7) Rooted with PurpleDrake
8) Replaced with CM recovery didnt work.
9) Replaced with TWRP and rebooted directly to recovery
10) Installed CM and gapps mini. Worked fine. Voila!
Issues:
1) No Custom recovery sticks, whenever I flash with a custom recovery like TWRP or Clockwork. I have to reboot into recovery immediately or the custom recovery is replaced by stock. It happens on every second reboot.
My concern is here if I get stuck into bootloop and dont have a custom recovery I might not have any other option than the stock ROM which does a full reset. How can make TWRP stick forever?
2) After installation of Custom ROM there have been random reboots, I suspect there is something here with phone app or voice. So far the reboots have been when I try to call using fb messenger, appear.in and phone app itself.
Is there a guide that tells me how to track this down?
Can I install a newer Nightly and hope this get fixed?
How can I retain my apps and data when installing a newer nightly? since all guides ask to wipe everything :S
I have a backup of system and data partitions, can I use that with other ROMs.
What ROMs have a better chance of fixing this issue?
Coudnt find Stock M for D850. Why arent those available?
Should an Official ROM be more reliable than CM for this?
3) Bad signal reception so far. It may be a generic g3 issue.
Can I hope that this issue be fixed with a different ROM or updates from Cynogen?
Someone said you may have to flash the radio partition. My question is where can I get a brief understanding of what partitions there are in android and which are risky. Which ones can be replaced, backedup and replaced back.
4) Whenever the phone reboots, it gets stuck into bootloop unless I remove the SIM card. Then I power off and install SIM Card and reboot and it boots fine.
I am already tracking CM changelog for something important. Cant post urls as of now :S
Hello, I think I have a really strange problem. I'm running Exodus 6.0 (and I made a full and fully functional backup that worked without issues) and yesterday I wanted to install AICP 12.0 (Android 7.0).
So I did a clean flash, but the SIM card detection didn't work and baseband showed up as "unknown" (according to the AICP members, I am the only one with such an issue).
So I tried several times but no success. They told me that it could be a problem of the 20G modem and bootloader. So I decided to revert back and since then I only have problems.
This is what I've done: Firstly, I flashed the 20D kdz. The phone booted fine. So I tried to install TWRP through ADB. (The phone was recognized and I was able to perform ADB commands). So I booted to bootloader, typed in the commands, but....nothing. TWRP didn't boot and I couldn't install it, no matter what I've tried. No I was on stock Rom without root and custom recovery, so I decided to revert back to Lollipop. I flashed the 10c kdz, flashed the rooted system image, wanted to flash TWRP (3.0.2-1) via Flashify, no success. Not until I tried TWRP 3.0.2-0, I had success and TWRP has been flashed. So ok, all fine now I thought, so I flashed the complete 20D stock Rom via TWRP, booted it up, worked. Now I wanted to give AICP a try again. So again installed, again no SIM card detection. With the CM 14 nightly 10/21 flashed afterwards (always clean flashed), success! SIM card was detected fine. So, again AICP tried and surprise, SIM card was detected as well. But now I had new problems: When I flashed SuperSU, SIM card wasnt't detected again.
Without SuperSU and stock AICP kernel, I suffered random reboots while setting up the WiFi connection in setup wizzard. Without SuperSU and Llama Sweet R7 kernel, I suffered a system crash and got a green screen saying something like "App F1Q: XPU Error!". So after some time I gave up and wanted to clean flash Exodus again, again no success, because the setup wizzard stopped (unfortunately:laugh:).
So ok, last rescue: My full backup. So I restored it (Exodus 6.0 10/22 nightly, opengapps pico 10/23, SuperSU SR1 2.78 in systemless mode, systemless xposed v86.2) and seemed to work fine. Today, I wanted to run SafetyNet Helper, and the phone suddenly rebooted. I wanted to run Pokémon Go, the phone suddenly rebooted. Nova Launcher can't get permissions for showing up unread labels correctly (though I have Nova Prime and all permissions are granted for sure!), other apps seem to work correctly. But all in all it's very strange because I have the feeling that somethink went completly wrong. So I don't know what I've done wrong, what do you think about this?
Hey,
some days ago i went from 7.1.2 to 8.1. I haven't had any issues whatsoever.
For some reason tho it seems like there's something wrong since my bug isn't listed as known.
The first ROM i tried was RR 6.0, and i tried it 2 times with this ROM. Same bug, just like with crDroid 4.1 which im running now. I even performed a COMPLETE wipe and made sure to flash the latest twrp recovery.
Whenever I setup a displaylock (PIN/Pattern/.. except swipe which is default) the device freezes immediatly afterwards, becomes totally unusable so im forced to pull out the battery. Rebooting then takes me to the lock that was just setup but entering the code just freezes the phone again. There's no workaround so far - everytime it happend i had to go back to factory settings.
Since i need to setup a displaylock to install a certificate I could really need your help. Im thanking in advice :good:

furi

Hi
I was running Resurrection Remix on my S9 but due to my job I kept knocking the screen and pocket dialling random people.
So I wanted to revert back to another rom I had previously backed up as it had prevent accidental touches as a feature to prevent any further pocket knocks.
Yet once restored my IMEI had been lost and all three backup were now useless as it had lost the EFS Backup?!?
I had managed to get my phone working but smart switch had decided to put a v2 (binary 2) bootloader on.
Now when I attempt to boot any lineage based rom I am stuck at the bootscreen.
I have wiped everything, formatted data (by typing yes), and even tried dm verity and flashing twrp bootloader to try and trick the phone yet to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution or do I have to now wait until lineage based roms catch up with v2 boot images? (As most are on BRE5/8).
Thanks
Probly gotta wait till they update it. Odin back to stock
UPDATE: I have managed to get the phone to boot lineage.
I succeeded by flashing lineage, gapps, magisk and BRE5 Vendor zip file.
Seems to be all good.
The encryption works on miui but fails on resurrection remix.
When I try to encrypt my device, it appears to start encryption but fails and it appears to have done a quick reboot. The whole process lasts about 30 seconds and the phone does not encrypt. Any idea what could be causing this? I have formatted my phone and done a clean flash. I am lost.
Any solutions to this problem?
