I get an "error: cannot load 'twrp-2.2.01b-toro' when I try to flash the recovery via fastboot. I am guessing I must have the recovery before I encrypt?

I'm Kind of in a bind because my boss set up the email for me and had it encrypt before I thought about it. I want to flash a JB ROM now so having the problem in CWM. I am about to try the fix mentioned earlier in this thread and if not I guess I'll have to fastboot erase.

If I go through and decrypt I will need a modified email application to set up corporate exchange email without the annoying pin unlock. I am hoping the one mentioned in the GSII forums works found here.

So your saying we CAN have different passwords for encryption and screen unlock? (I'm slightly confused)

Is there a way to update the encryption password? It's grayed out in the settings without any more options.

--------

That said, I want to thank everyone for this thread, and especially TWRP! I haven't flashed a new ROM yet but I'm now encrypted AND can make backups in TWRP! (Sprint Galaxy Nexus, Stock, Unlocked, Rooted, Encrypted, Backed-Up)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
You use the same password for both things, for example "123" and that password is used to encrypt the key, for example this 64 bit key randomly generated:

3C63D58363

so you encrypt for example such key with your password:

Encrypt 3C63D58363 key with 123 password and a method, for example AES resulting in encryption_key:

U2FsdGVkX1++vT5aiCXGE3PuZQJgqtn+W7kcRKnajqg=

Then apply a MD5 checksum over that last and results in

90a1d3ccd36a2e43c559ece250d985de

Having that said, if you only have the MD5 checksum you can't get neither the original encryption key nor the user password (123), the other keys you won't see them, and for unlocking you will use always 123 (or a unlock pattern, or other thing you set).

So, supose that a device is encrypted with that encryption key, would be a nightmare decrypting the whole device and re-crypting it if say the user changes the lock screen pattern once a week or such, he'll have to wait two hours each time (one for encrypting and other for decrypting).

So it's easier keep the same encryption key, and allow the user only change the 123, so apply 123 over the encryption key, and over that get the MD5. So, every time the user enters the lock pattern, you see if the MD5 matches. I don't know exactly if is how it works, but I'm happy that you understand it.

I would be surprised if encryption impacted ota updates. But, unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom recovery might. I don't recall. I've never accepted an ota on a phone before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
It should not, as the update gets downloaded to /cache, not to /sdcard.

Unlocking the bootloader does not impact OTA updates at all.

Flashing a custom recovery will impact the ability to install an update over-the-air, but not the ability to flash that update in recovery (unless encrypted, then you would need to have a recovery like TWRP that will de-crypt).

What would I need to do differently to get this working on a Samsung GS2 / i9100? TWRP is not (yet :crying: ) an option for this model of phone. I ran the script and got the following error. Is this due to it being a different model of phone or have I made some other mistake?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makelegs:
Nice additional resources!

Check with Teamwin to see what devices have encryption support via TWRP. Works great on gnex, but I know he was having difficulty with other devices. Also, the adb instructions earlier in this thread work well, too. They essentially create a temp directory that you can push to with adb, and then flash from recovery (CWM, too). It gets erased at boot, but does not require any device specific partition layout knowledge, so might be considered "safer."

A little help

So if I need to encrypt my phone for work, but want to be able to flash a custom ROM. Do I need to encrypt before flashing the custom ROM (encrypt while stock), can I encrypt after flashing a custom ROM or does it depend on the ROM I would like to flash? I currently am running JBsourcery-V3.2 w/ Franco Kernel MS6 and TWRP 2.3.0. I have no problem going back to stock as I can backup my phone to a computer. Any help would be awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makelegs:
Make sure twrp supports encryption/decryption on your device, first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cusjs:
I believe they do. I'm using the Verizon GN. I have tried encrypting using my current setup, but the phone just reboots and no encryption had happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makelegs:
Yes. Toro is supported. I did the testing for it :)

Easiest way would be to fresh wipe/install.... Encrypt..... Restore. Encryption takes quite some time btw. I hated it. Am very glad that mobile iron for some reason didn't make me encrypt my note 2 like it did with toro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cusjs:
Just to make sure I understand. I should go back to stock, but rooted? Then encrypt, and then reflash the ROM.

I don't mind being encrypted, kinda gives me piece of mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] makelegs:
You shouldn't HAVE to change anything, honestly. You should be able to just encrypt as is, and carry on. I'm merely thinking about how it took damn near 2 hours to encrypt mine, and speculating that if you back everything up and do a clean install, before you encrypt, that it will probably take less time to encrypt and restore your apps. Just a thought. I could be wrong, though. (less stuff on device to encrypt = less time spent encrypting device)

Unless you literally are required to encrypt, I would advise that you not do so. Peace of mind be damned!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cusjs:
Thanks for the info. I still need to look through everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cusjs:
Why won't it let me encrypt on my current setup?

Hi,

Some months ago I encrypted my sdcard (SGS2, CM9)

Today i've installed a new ROM (CarbonRom) but forgot the encrypted sdcard. The new ROM works but because Android can't access the sdcard many apps just crash (camera, browser,...)

How can I format and "reconnect" the sdcard? I can't mount or partition the sdcard in CWM

This is very odd. TWRP has had built in ability to mount encrypted filesystems for a long while. I haven't tried clockwork in forever, but I would think they have it as well.

I'm not sure what version of TWRP you have, but I suggest installing GooManager from Play store and using it to flash the latest TWRP. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

Galaxy S4 decryption issues

I am in the same situation. In TWRP 2.7 and 2.6.3, I am not prompted to enter a password. In TWRP 2.6, I am required to enter a password, but it is never accepted. In TWRP 2.5.0.1, I am able to enter the password and the log mentions that the decryption was successful; however, even in 2.5.0.1, the recovery is unable to mount /data.

I am running Cyanogenmod 10.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505/jfltexx. The device is encrypted and was previously running Philz touch. Recently, upon learning about its limitations with encryption, I tried TWRP, but as you can see, I have been entirely unsuccessful in running a recovery decrypted. I would appreciate any assistance in the matter.

Error mounting "/sdcard" in CWR Touch v.6.0.4.5

Hello, I have rooted my Nexus 5 just so to gain 'administrative' access over some areas/elements, but mainly to fully take advantage of apps like Titanium and Greenify.

Anyways, my problem is that I tried to mount "/sdcard" while in recovery mode to flash the OTA zip file but received an error instead.

My guess is that it could be one of two things,

A) The Nexus 5 doesn't have a built-in memory card slot to mount (and unable to mount built-in memory while in recovery mode? [Or at all?])

And

B) I have set encryption to ON, so the phone has to decrypt any data in the memory while it is being booted, but since it was in recovery mode, technically it's OFF. (I think.)

I'm not exactly sure which one is causing the problem, and I'm stuck at this point as I don't have a computer or anything to proceed further. Could someone tell me which one is the cause of my problem?

As of right now what is currently the fastest/smoothest Sense rom that is still being supported by the dev? Any comments are appreciated :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
As far as still supported you might be hard to find consitency...

My opinions would be for:

TeeROM 3.0 - developers "final" version

Stock+ 3.01 - Not getting active dev but its by far one of the best Sense roms.

McSense 2.6 - Another solid but non-dev rom

Edit: The likelyhood of finding a sense rom 2.1 or higher that is fast on the incredible is very unlikely. Way to resource needy.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] countryfolk07:
My port of MikG is snappy and trouble free. Of course I could be a little biased. Lol. But seriously. It is the best Sense 2.1 + ROM as far as stability and speed. That's why I ported over the newest version for us. Try it at theMikMik. MikG Incredible forum. I think you'll be pleased.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I'd say any of the Sense 1.0 roms should be fine. If you want one without bloat, or many tweaks, Liberation 3.0 would fit the bill. It's been tested for stability. It is the final version though.

McSense is also a good choice for some theming and tweaks.

I just avoid any rom based off of another phone (port). Including Sense 3.0+

Personally I run a custom cm7 kang that I've stripped down and removed everything I deemed unnecessary. Turned off animations, use Launcher Pro, and it flies faster than any Sense rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alton (Halo 2):
I would have to go with mikg man, this thing flys !
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] "Haus":
What parts of sense are you wanting intact? If you're simply looking to stay away from AOSP, my experience with Insensitive Minimalist has been excellent. Very fast and designed to be highly customizable. I like it so much for its stability and compatibility I keep flashing back to my backup of that while I wait on issues to get hammered out of ICS. My other dinc is running Stock+, so if you want a ROM that is mostly stock, its also good. Inc Ultimate looks like its worth a try, but I haven't gotten around to it.

Ultimately, "still in development" is something I don't think applies to any sense Rom at the moment, as most of the really active devs seem to have moved on to other devices.

I haven't tried them all, but have tried a few of the Sense 3.5 roms - and of course my stock Sense 2 roms - Virtuous Unity, Sense...quite slow and laggy.

Also tried BeatMod Bliss Sense - again same story...slow, laggy.

But just switched from G-Lite 2 (non sense rom( to MikRoms MikRunny 1.0 and for a Sense 3.5 based rom it's FAST. Faster than my original slow Gingerbread ROM, actually!

Add Supercharger script and a SDcard partition and you're flying ;-)

Oh I have a Desire Z, so RAM/speed is a real issue. So impressive that a ROM could run anything about Sense 2 at anything but prehistoric speeds :-D
