[Q] Clockworkmod and ICS-encryption

I found following article: "android.stackexchange.com/questions/19286/will-a-custom-recovery-work-with-an-encrypted-device"
According to this description, it should be possible to use the ICS encryption after partitioning the SDcard. Has anyone already tried it?
Article:
"Mount one partition on /sdcard so that it could be used by system & leave other one (Clockwork Mod can do mounting too)."
How can I do this?

Bump
Nobody tried it yet???

i think is better u dont use encryption at all...
if u need encryption for security reason, then u have to stay stock (botloader locked, no root, no cwm, otherwise the encryption has no sense to be done)..in case u want leave the encryption mode, u have to factory reset the phone
clockwork mod is not able to to backup, restore or flash a zip on an encrypted rom (easy to search around to discover this, as i just did now)

Why do you think there are no point with encryption with unlocked bootloader and root?
To me it seems thats when its most important, since its then very easy to get to your data and the only way to protect them?
I am using Titanium Backup and send the backups encrypted to Dropbox, not that much work to wipe and flash ROMS. Kernels you can still flash, at least With Francos app. The only downside is that need a PC to wipe since you have to do it through fastboot.

yes, infact what i mean is that if u want protect more ur data, then stay also with the bootloader locked etc (even if the encryption should be enough)

Have thought about also locking the bootloader since you have to wipe anyways, and need a PC. Will not be much more work/time. But is it really any need?

From my point of view I also think that encryption is very important for rooted devices. If you loose your phone, it's very easy to get your privat data on the sdcard and app-data (acounts,...). With an encrypted device, the data are safe and that's all what I want.

Also if you create a seperate partition - see article in my first post ???

I would also be interested if this was possible.
Reason being - my employer requires that my phone be encrypted and unrooted. I have been investigating a dual boot setup where I could boot my unrooted, encrypted, stock android image so that I can use it for corporate email and when I need root for something like tethering I could boot off the rooted image.
This way my corporate data would be encrypted and I would be adhering to company policy but I can also enjoy the flexibility of a rooted phone when I need it without wiping my phone every time I want to switch back and fourth.

the /cache partition is the answer, i think
I found out that the stock recovery, as expected, also cannot access the /SDcard partition. However, it looks in the /cache partition for update.zip files when the phone is encrypted. I was able to copy the 4.0.4 update to the cache partition and load it from there. Seems like CWM just needs to be updated to have an option to look there for zip files and we should be able to load them up.

The problem is /cache is 100 MB, and some (most?) ROMs are way more than that.
So I don't think using /cache is a fix.
I'm not sure of how CWM mounts the external SD card, but if it uses /mnt/sdcard/external_sd then it's impossible to use the external SD card because it depends on the internal SD for the mount point.
If this isn't the case, then it should be possible to partition the external SD card... Is it?
That leaves us with the only possible solution the partitioning of the internal SD card as mentioned in the link provided by OP.
Has anyone done this?
EDIT:
According to CM9's nightlies "know issues" list, encryption has already been solved and is working. I'm wondering how did they fix it.

anybody knows the answer?

Could you give me a link to this?

There is a work around for flashing in CWM recovery by using the system ram as a temp file system.
You can use the dd command in adb to backup the entire current firmware and restore it in fast boot.
You can also use the backup and restore feature in ics to backup your sdcard contents and some apks.
There is a dev who is working on a full nandroid equivalent on an encrypted system. He is half way there. It requires cm recovery which has dmcrypt support.

@bunklung
Thanks.
I'm still digesting the information.
The sad part is that even a normal factory reset doesn't allow removing encryption. If at least that would be possible it wouldn't be that bad.
EDIT2:
I've been reading and not even the ram trick would work with me because I can't get adbd running in CWM.
adb doesn't detect any device when the phone is in CWM-recovery mode.

Anyone found a way to revert to stock with cwm already installed for an encrypted phone?

[Q] note 2 internal memory problem

hi all, just rooted my note 2 last few day and last night try to flash a recovery to flash a custom rom. when in recovery i accidentally press on format data in "mount and storage" then i flash my rom, it can boot into the rom but the problem is my note 2 no more internal memory, i think this is because after i press on format data and then changed the internal memory format or what, can anyone help me for this case?
p/s i still can use the phone as normal just like make a call or sms but cannot download any apps and if i reboot the phone then i have to keep in my information again, sound like totally no memory storage in it, can you help me? thank you

try connecting your device to computer and check whether you're able to access the phone's storage. If not, then try formatting it again using stock recovery.

If you want to return the phone to a stock Samsung ROM, download the latest stock ROM for your phone from sammobile.com or updato.com and flash the ROM using Odin. After flashing with Odin, boot into recovery and perform a factory reset. Note that performing this task will wipe all data from the phone and should be done after backing up all required data to another computer.

[Q] S3 freezes and basically dies at random times despite battery near full

So weird phenomenon started happening yesterday. I was on cm10.1 RC5 and hadn't done anything new to my phone but randomly throughout the day it would just go black and not respond to unlock and basically looked like it was in power off mode. Only way to get it back up is to reboot but then it will freeze in 5 mins to an hour and power off again.
I thought it was a rom issue at first so I flashed to cm10.2 the most stable one right now but it happened again. So I tried to restore to stock and after I fianlly got it to stock on android 4.12 and then when I was setting up the phone it happned again.
One thing though, I booted phone into recovery and kept it on for more than 2 hours without any random shutoffs or freezes which leads me to believe its still a software issue. Any help?

How are you wiping the phone? Which recovery are you using? it does sound ROM related, because you say it stays up in recovery. It could be what edfunkycold talked about before, Sudden Death Syndrome

When you say storage are you talking about internal or external? You should not wipe internal storage, some of these files are needed for the Operating System. It's not sudden death syndrome.

mm shoot I didn't know that. Since its already wiped does that effect anything? I dont think wiping internal created the problem though since it was present before I started flashing to stock.

When you flashed billiard's OTA stock, did you keep stock or you flashed custom recovery, and did you keep root? From my understanding, only stock recovery will erase and rewrite internal storage. I would try it again, and do not flash custom recovery or root access. Let the phone boot up without flashing root or custom recovery. If it boots, and doesn't freeze and die for awhile, then proceed with rerooting and installing custom recovery again.

The only thing I can tell you is to try flashing again, without custom recovery, it should wipe and reformat internal storage for you. I don't think custom recovery allows internal storage to be rewritten. As long as you can get into download mode, you can always use ODIN to reflash stock image, should anything happen and the stock ROM didn't work. If your not familiar with ODIN, you can try mskip's toolbox here.

Try the toolbox I posted above. It will open ODIN and flash the needed files for you. YOU MUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. The thing most people miss when using this toolbox, is make sure your phone's serial number shows up, before trying anything else this toolbox will do.

Incorrect, nothing that the OS uses gets stored on the internal storage, it all goes to system... It is completely safe to wipe your internal storage when moving between ROMs, I and many others do it with every flash

Emulated SD Card how to flash?

I got a problem. I rooted my device, used TWRP in read only mode.(So I still got Stock Recovery)
Now I want to update from 3.1.3 to 3.2.1 but as soon as i want to flash them via TWRP it lists all my files in /, but nothing more. It looks like the internal storage disappeared. It also writes I got 0MB in Internal and USB Storage.
My Phone works fine, no problems at all.
The Folder /sdcard is empty, emulated/0 doesnt exist. Also /data is empty.
How do I fix this?

Adb side load (in stock recovery) the full 3.2.1 zip, wipe cache, fastboot flash twrp and flash root.
Fastboot flash stock recovery again (if you really need it) then boot.
No data will be lost.
In case youre wondering, going forward the stock zip files (ota included) are twrp flash able and don't wipe data. Just make sure to wipe cache after you flash them then re root.

Unless you formatted the device, I don't think you have a problem. I think twrp was not able to mount the internal storage the way you were using it. You should use a PC in case there are problems.
Edit: Yes full zip. You "might" be able to use the ota zip but if you already have the full zip just use that.

[HELP] CM13 On Verizon HTC 10

For those who are familiar with the process of getting the CM13 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/development/alpha-cyanogenmod-13-0-unofficial-t3465667) booting on verizon/sprint I ran into some trouble. So in trying to install I first superCID to 22222222 which worked fine, I then flashed the file that @holofractal provided from my external_SD (thank you for providing) in download mode, phone then rebooted and went through everything and turned my phone off. Upon manually going into recovery from my phone being off MY SD CARD WAS WIPED! I have 0 clue what went on, my backup on my external SD did not work either so I attempted to install CM after this all went down (did not work). So I usb-otg-ed leedroid and that booted up fine. Anybody know what is up?
Verizon HTC 10
S-off and unlocked

Are you sure you data was actually wiped? I went through something similar on my Verizon 10, installed the U.S Unlocked firmware from the same thread as you, and when I rebooted I had no ROM and couldn't see my internal SD card in TWRP anymore . Restoring old fw didn't work either. Flashing the no-wipe RUU from dottat's thread did work though, and I was able to re-access all my data without any loss.
For what it's worth, it was mentioned in the CM thread that after changing CID and flashing a new fw, you have to format your SD card anyway for a ROM to work.

Here's what I would do. If you have already done any of the steps I list just skip them.
1. Back up important data if you wish.
2. Install firmware package. I am a sprint user, I used 1.95.403.1 international firmware. I removed the radio.img and edited the android-info.txt file to match my MID.
3. In TWRP, go to wipe, and format data, type yes and click enter.
4. Check your log by clicking the hamburger menu button in the bottom right corner. If you see red text like Mounting error for preload and cache, wipe them either with fastboot (I haven't done that) or, what I did was install LeeDroid, which wiped those partitions.
5. Install the ROM of your choice. (I've noted that I still had to use a Sprint specific kernel for my device, which makes me theorize that the firmware update zip might not change all partitions, which you'd need an RUU for to flash everything, I haven't tested that as my device works fine.)
6. Boot CM. Sometimes the screen will go dark, be patient with it, should boot in 5 minutes or less.
Try these and if they don't work, lemme know. I got nothing going on.

3. In TWRP, go to wipe, and format data, type yes and click enter.
4. Check your log by clicking the hamburger menu button in the bottom right corner. If you see red text like Mounting error for preload and cache, wipe them either with fastboot (I haven't done that) or, what I did was install LeeDroid, which wiped those partitions.
5. Install the ROM of your choice. (I've noted that I still had to use a Sprint specific kernel for my device, which makes me theorize that the firmware update zip might not change all partitions, which you'd need an RUU for to flash everything, I haven't tested that as my device works fine.)
6. Boot CM. Sometimes the screen will go dark, be patient with it, should boot in 5 minutes or less.
Try these and if they don't work, lemme know. I got nothing going on.

Everything is good, except the data icon in status bar shows that I do not have data... Any ideas on that?

Go to settings, Cellular settings, network operator, let it load, and select the Verizon option. Go home, then open the settings app again (without closing the other one), and select the CDMA+LTE/EvDo option. Check your APN.
