First of all, I'll commend you for sharing a positive outcome despite experiencing this dreaded issue. However, this is something being dicussed at the DEV thread level, which assumes a deeper level of detail than the average General or Q&A topic.

Serious people are giving serious consideration to the matter. Example, Woodrube is a well respected Vibrant / Transformer / Nook user, and he's invested a lot of time collaborating with Captivate users to pool our resources and build our knowledgebase here.

Whether you continue your participation is up to you. Hopefully your method will be a viable part of the discussion.

Regardless how anxious we get, life always comes first. Take care of business. Just keep in mind that a lot of XDA veterans are putting their minds to this issue, and more details will help isolate the cause & effect. In general, details on your ROM, kernel, and any specifics would be helpful.

By saying "duplicated the issue", we're all going to assume you encountered the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen again. Do you recall any specific steps you took to "duplicate" this issue? Since you were able to duplicate it several times, people troubleshooting the issue will benefit to know how you induced the matter. The goal is to discover what actually triggers this. Then, we'll get closer to finding a resolution.

Were you using the phone at the time - ie. the EU randomly appeared? Did it just reboot on its own and result in a dimmed boot animation screen? After you hit "reset," did you simply go into recovery and perform a NANDROID restore? Was there anything specific you did after getting the EU screen? Battery pull, reboot into recovery, flash other roms or kernels, etc? Did you previously connect it to your PC using MTP?

It seems you "resolved" your issue by simply doing a NANDROID restore via recovery. Was it really that simple? Or was there anything else (other roms or kernels flashed) prior to doing the restore.

If this is the case, then your experience starkly contrasts what most others have experienced - ie. no longer having access to the internal sdcard even in recovery (so a saved NANDROID backup wouldn't be accessible, etc).

The "swap" is the work around being used to swap emmc & sdcard in vold.fstab - ie. to then have the phone recognize the external sdcard as the internal (since the internal sdcard is no longer accessible for 99.9% of the others with this issue).

Everyone who's gone through this has experienced that same level of dread and anxiety. We can all relate.
[Captivate General] Woody:
Thanks for the nod my friend and I am still on the case but as you say life comes first.

There have been some developments in the SGSII threads that I'll post in the Dev thread.

USB problem

Hello, the same happens to me an hour ago. No charging no connection to computer but if the phone is powered off as soon as I connect the charger the phone boots up but no charge.

B.S. ALERT!!!!

I cant believe i actually came back to this thread to waste my time again!!, reading a thread that is supposed to help fix a problem i am afflicted with, but is instead filled with A BUNCH OF B@$%@# S@#@#$T!!!!!

Dude, if want to help people you must understand that in order to do this you need to explain "exactly" what it is you are talking about. No one can trust your information based on your "belief" in it. Software is a very techinical thing, which means to explain it you need to speak in technical terms. If you cant do that, do some more reading. Otherwise you arent helping anyone but yourself....Thanks, but NoThanks.
[Captivate General] carlosgardel:
Nothing personal, but 80% or more off all posts in XDA dont help anyone. If you have been to XDA or other forums you have to skim the information and use what is good for you, if you are gonna insult all the people that like me doesn't know about the technical perfection that is software you are gonna spend a lot of time.

The developers don't know about this problem, ask them. The people like me are finding solutions, if we think that maybe can help good if not ignore the post and go to the next.

Is not my post and Im not defending the owner but this is too much.

encryption drama

uh.. in case someone is reading this old thread...

I encrypted my Paranoid Android Galaxy s3 AT&T phone to use MobileIron for my work email. Immediately my phone started rebooting whenever I did something, opened an app, tried to install something, etc... I get maybe 30 secs of action until it does the 25 sec boot sequence.

I spent hours searching for solutions on xda, and found a lot of dead ends, and 'possible' solutions for other phones.

When I try reflashing a ROM, it seems unable to mount partitions. Factory reset does not complete as it always asks for the encryption password once rebooted... I see in other CM10 posts that encryption causes it to crash.. but I can't find an understandable solution. I've flashed back to stock AT&T using the Galaxy s3 toolkit, flashed other ROMs with CWM, and flashed the bootloader alone using the toolkit.

Would you know how to get back to unencrypted please?

Could you could post something so other MobileIron work folks are not dragged down into this hell?

Thank you very much in advance

Hello everyone, I was given 48GB of free space from dropbox because I installed it on the tab. If this was common knowledge sorry for extra post if not then enjoy the massive space increase :) When you install it they will send you an email telling you . Just click on the link and follow the directions. Enjoy!

Did you get an email from them? I didnt get it until i followed the link from them.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Yenupuri:
Thanks! Just logged into my dropbox via my Tab 2 and got the additional 48GB storage. Be aware... this additional space is for 12months only!

Cheers!

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] lastiko:
so, it means if we maximize the 48G and at the end of the period all of our files will be gone...it would be nagging than...i prefer to use my extra space by inviting my friends :) LOL
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kurniawan_johar:
can you tell me how to get 48 giga free drop box space?

im really curious about that :p
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] xreflection:
Sign up for a dropbox account (if you don't already have one) then sign in on your tablet after you install the app and you should automatically get it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] vdub804:
Just got my 48gb's took less than five mins, more than enough space although it only lasts for 12 months
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Zanthexter:
Looks like you only get it once...

I bought the Galaxy Tab 2 7" for my Mom as a Mother's Day gift. (I kinda owed her something extra nice, since I missed visiting for Christmas). Mom lives about 1,000 miles away and doesn't even have a smartphone much less know what to do with a tablet, so I got it all set up for her and then shipped it off. In the process I used DropBox to transfer over some eBooks. MY DropBox account.

After signing myself out and Mom in, the bonus 50GB (I think it's supposed to be 50) never appeared for Mom. I'm guessing it's once time per MEID (or whatever) rather than once per account.

So, be careful if you're planning on gifting it to someone else, or if you use multiple DropBox accounts. Looks like it'll only give the bonus out ONE time.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Shawheim:
I bought the 7 inch tab yesterday and when I logged in it updated me that I had gained 48GB of space free for a year. Checked on the computer and it showed and I checked my phone and it also showed. Pretty cool.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] dkb218:
Strange, I got 50 GB of free space.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ToddKlindt:
You get 2 GB free when you signup for Dropbox. Do you have 50 GB total? If so, it's probably the 2 DB for signing up and 48 from the Tab 2.

I've had my Tab 2 7" for a month now (a prerelease beta model) and I signed up for Dropbox back then and got no bonus. I've tried redoing it, but since my tablet has already been signed up I didn't get anything. Is there a way to get the 48 GB in my situation?

Whenever I set my font size to small, I run into the issue where the text randomly reverts back to the default medium font size.

So I was loading a new cm9 rom last night and everything seemed fine until reboot now its stuck at the roms boot screen...

So I attempted to get it to reboot to recovery or fast reboot no dice...

went through all the forums and couldnt get anythign to work...

adb devices sees my kindle fine...

i can adb shell and do a ls and it see directorys and i can cd to a different directory...

and time i try too do the commands to push fbmode or any of that i always get

failed to copy 'fbmode' to '/data/local/temp': No such file or directory

if i try to put it in a different directory or mkdir through shell i get an error for read-only file system

someone please help me out here...

I deff. tried everything in the kindle unbrick utility if thats what your talking about...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinfauns:
I'm guessing you still have the stock bootloader ("kindle fire" bootlogo when the device first powers up) or you would have gotten yourself to recovery already. You'll want to try and get the bootmode changed to recovery and reboot like this...

adb shell idme bootmode 5001
adb reboot

If you can get back to CWMR, the first thing you should do is flash a new bootloader... probably FFF 1.4a that you can find in the dev section. Then use that to get into fastboot mode and flash TWRP.

If you cannot change bootmodes through adb. You'll have to push fbmode or rcmode in some writeable directory. I'm guessing /data/local/tmp doesn't exist in CM9, so try pushing it to /data instead.

If none of that works and my guess about your bootloader is right, you're going to need a factory cable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bornxero:
w00t solved thanx....i was crying over here lol...

used this to put back the old rom I was using then used KFU to install twrp and installed the new rom without issue....

I noticed that force closes would lock up my phone with ICS ROMs enough to make it completely unusable at times. I noticed that this is so because a system state dump is done every time it hangs by default. I don't know how to disable this internally, but found out how to prevent dumpstate from running when this occurs.

su
busybox chmod a-x /system/bin/dumpstate

Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blchff04:
So we just open a terminal emulator and type in that code?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
An easier way is to navigate to /system/bin in Root Explorer, select dumpstate, long press, change permissions and remove execute permissions for all (system, user, etc).

Update: It's critical to ensure you have "R/W" permissions on the folder before doing this, if it reads "R/O" at the top, make sure you change it (change it by clicking on the "R/O", it will change to "R/W").
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funeralthirst:
or you could do it through adb shell.

yea that happened to me what i did was flashed darkside cache wipe n booted then went into manage apps, root explorer then cleared data/cache for the app (i have a feeling i didnt even need to darkside cache wipe i probably just needed to clear app data but those are the 2 steps i did anyways)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrcrassic:
Sorry for the late responses. It seems like others covered the spread, though. You can type those commands into a terminal or with adb using adb shell. I've never done it with Root Explorer (I use ES...it's free and can browse/remount as root), but make sure it has root permissions before continuing. Also make sure that the /system partition has been mounted as read-write; it won't work otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blchff04:
Can confirm it works with root explorer just make sure you switch to r/w
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] autom8r:
I posted about this working in Root Explorer, without trying it firsthand, I've tried it now, and it does work. The reason is this, the original post's command simply reads: for all (that's the "a" part) users remove execute (the "-x" part) permissions. You can mimic this functionality in any App with the ability to change file permissions. It's critical to ensure you have "R/W" permissions on the folder before doing this, if it reads "R/O" at the top, make sure you change it.
