No problem. Your the only one on 4 forums that is offering any help, so ask away. :)

I can boot all the way up/get past the boot screen. However, instead of the lock screen, I get a white screen with this error:

Encryption failed

Unable to complete encryption due to interruption.

Perform factory data reset before use. After resetting, try

encrypting device again.

In the bottom right it says "reset device "

When I do that, I get the second error from above in stock recovery.

skennelly,

Have you tried Kies, although this appears to be an Firmware emergency recovery, for a phone. Can you give this a go...?, it is a Sammobile PDF. Here is the link...

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Also, I have tried these places to try and get a proper .pit file, but after registering with them I still to this day can not gain access...???

But maybe you will have better luck...???

"I am hoping someone diverts us from needing a .pit file here...!!!"

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 PM ----------

I am trying to imagine what this is...???

Another question, do you have a recovery (by pressing the Volume Up + Power button(s), and if so...?, Is it Stock or Custom...? If any of the two are in place, can you perform a Factory Reset Wipe...???
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
I will try the kies method that you have posted.

Also, I have tried droidevelopers.com and found a thread with a ton of pit files. However, they did not have one for the p3113 and no one has responded to my post, and I also sent a pm to the op of that thread and have not received a response. All of this occurred over a week ago. :(
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
And yes, I do have a stock recovery. I can get into recovery, download mode, and power down (and I can charge my tab when powered down).

I can even install a custom recovery, which I did. However, the custom recovery will abort the installation when I try to flash the .zip to root the tab and will abort the installation of a back up that I had.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
Then I get this after the wipe and reboot.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grassy-sneakers:
In this image here, there is a "wipe data/factory reset" have you tried that selection, then rebooted...?

And also, it appears to be failing due to a ext4 partition format, not ext4 file format (this maybe confusing, so for now just ignore)...? But the question I am getting at is; do you have a external SdCard in place, if so can you remove it then attempt to restart or reboot the device...???

If that fails just after a reboot

then

preform the "wipe data/factory reset" then reboot again...!!!

I want to see what happens, so post the response.

But follow these steps;

Remove the Sdcard, the reboot...

If it fails, return back to Recovery

Preform "wipe data/factory reset, reboot...
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
I have performed a factory reset several times. Taking out the sd card and booting gave me the same encryption failed error.

Performing a factory reset without the sd card in gave me this error:

What do you mean by "super wipe"?

I just tried to install a rom. everything looked like it was going well, but then I got the same encryption error. Tried to format data in cwm and received another. Still can't boot to anything other that "encryption failed".

I only wish there is more on this issue requiring a .pit file, to repartition a tablet...

I hate to think of it or even ask this question, but does the device in trouble posses a receipt to comply with Samsung's Warranty...

This is a just in case nobody responds with to this post with a proper remedy to your issue...

Although it is only Monday, meaning there might be a better response during the weekend like around Friday or Saturday...???

As I found out today that most device manufactures if you call them may be more than helpful in helping out customers who have found them selves, let's say for the record "BRICKED" there device, by trying to root them. Now this is a serious issue that prevents customers from calling most manufactures up and asking them to help you out. I mean worst case scenario, they say no...

But you could give them a spill, that your device failed to update correctly and now you are stuck with this issue of a so called bootloop. Failing to boot up properly even after a click on the Reset device button... I mean it sounds like I am asking you to lie, regardless if the source told me that it is quite alright to tell them the truth about a "softbrick" error and getting away with it. Only because reason being manufactures such as Samsung enjoy a happy customers...

Food for though...!!!

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

I other words I could go on with this conversation about rooting and device warranties, that I myself have been betting myself over the past few years, and the miss conception that I have been living with regarding this rooting and voiding warranty...

But having called Samsung myself, and neglected to inform them on having rooted my device, only because I managed to restore Stock Rom & Recovery. After the information I heard today was only disappointing to me because I living the social fear that root voids the warranty...

Or make an anonymous phone call, "F" it I'll even make the phone call. If you'd like...!!!

Again food to think about...!!!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
Thanks again for all the help. I am still confident that this tab can be recovered with the proper files. I just downloaded the super wipe and am getting ready to attempt this.

I'm guessing here, but I believe that I need the proper pit file, stock firmware, and a CSC file in order to recover this. I am certainly not an expert, but what leads me to believe this are these error messages:

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p10 and

--Appling Multi-CSC...

Applied the CSC-code : XAR

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

--Updating application...

E:failed to mount /preload (no such file of directory) can't mount '/preload' (no such file or directory)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
I did flashed the super wipe zip in cwm and it still rebooted to the encryption failed screen.

I did find this, but am not sure if it is useful to me. I have no knowledge of adb and any previous attempts at installing it have not been successful.

The MTP driver won't install properly. My guess is that's because the tablet won't completely boot, so it won't connect to Kies.

Check and see if it has a .pit file...

Only, because it should be the correct .pit file for you device..., and to rule this direction of needing a .pit file of the way.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grassy-sneakers:
They recommended Power Archiver to pack or make a .tar.md5 package, although I have been unsuccessful . WinRAR works for me, and it is what I use to unpack a .zip, .tar, .rar packages, although unsuccessful in creating a .tar.md5 package with it though. I think one would have better luck creating one in a Linux based OS.

But to answer you question, I have not tried with 7zip, but it is free...???
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skennelly:
7zip is free. I'm still about 45 minutes from home, so I haven't had time to mess with this yet.

Sorry guys. Actually I have been really busy. My wife and I bought a foreclosure and my nights and weekends are full of work now.

Anyway, I realized that my tab was an 8 gb and not 16. Basically I'm a bone head and had flashed the wrong pit to begin with. I ended up using the gt-p3110 8 gb wifi only pit and flashed that along with the stock tar.md5 and everything is fine.

By the way I can not remember if I had the opportunity to offer you this storage fix by the way it somehow helps out when you run into internal SdCard issues consuming more space than it needs. Giving you a false reading telling you that there is more space than you have, or should have..., something like that.

Interesting

I have learned something from this.

I have run out of memory from my 8gb device which now displays 4.59 gb. I remember at the beginning of my root journey, I thought I had rooted this device (P3100 - but maybe I just dented it). I remember throwing in a pit file with an Indian Rom in order to gain access to Gapp (I live in China). Now it is rooted and ticking away merrily, but I only have 4.59 gb ... I wonder what trials and tribulations I will suffer and endure and hopefully overcome to get my memory back... I'll search 4.59gb on the forum now. Anyone care to assist?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grassy-sneakers:
Sorry, I have been away and just found someone posted to the thread.

Perhaps you can try this but it needs a root method, and it needs to be installed from the external SdCard...

LuckyPatcher.apk, it is an application that runs in the background, but preforms a miracle on the storage allocation. You can look it up some more here or google it up...!!!

Hope this helps...?

Hi all!

I've had my galaxy s3 for about two months, and now I'm thinking about flashing a new kernel on it. I don't want to flash a new rom yet, only a new kernel. My model is gt-I9300 and I'm running cf root 6.4 with a stock kernel. My problem is that I have no idea if my bootloader's locked or not. So my question is can i brick my phone if I flash on a locked bootloader? And if my bootloader is allready factory unlocked, will I damage my phone if I try to unlock it by using hacks?

Thanks a lot and sorry for any silly questions (This is my first time doing this) :)

Nice lil' writeup.

I am not sure if the $250 + $20 a month extra is a good deal, but that's what I went with. They also gave me a $100 rebate, so... Hard to argue with that.

I figured being on WiFi most of my time, I'll just get the minimum minutes and dataplan I can get. Ends up being a bit cheaper than the $100+ I was spending with VZW.

Glad I made the move to T-Mobile even if the network here in Denver isn't as good as VZW.

Hey Smart.....

Don't put too much faith in T-Mobile's wi-fi calling app..... Although I have 100% wi-fi signal strength at home (same room as router), wi-fi calling only works about 50% of the time (doesn't let you answer calls.... even though phone is ringing, or you make a call and you cannot hear them but they can hear you, etc.). Per T-Mobile tech support, I've changed my SIM card twice now but that hasn't fixed any problems... Finally, the last tech support person I spoke to tells me, "Yeah, our Note's wi-fi calling app is buggy"

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] craighwk:
Interesting to hear about the WiFi. It's been pretty great for me so far, although sometimes I can hear the echo of my voice coming back to me a second after I stopped talking, but so far so good.

As for the rebate? I have no idea. They just said it was eligible for $100 mail in rebate. They took care of the paperwork there, submitted it, and they said all I have to do is just wait for the check in the mail. We'll see about that too.

Thnx I lived in beautiful Boulder a couple years..:highfive:..what kind of speeds are you getting out there? I'll ask about any rebates but their pricing seems reasonable & flexible assuming service isn't significantly inferior for the user. I didn't ask about their return policy yet but Sprint is down to 14 days before ETF I think kicks in..? The manager also mentioned that she just got back from a meeting where NY could be getting LTE by March (won't hold my breath there but the in store HSPA+ downloads speed tests seemed great already unlike Sprint) & Note2 will get enabled for their LTE deployment.

I wonder if Skype+online# at $60/yr is better than T-Mobile's Wi-Fi calling in how posters here describe it? I've set Skype online # + unlimited world subscription up for family traveling abroad & while certainly helpful they still manage to complain about its imperfections..:fingers-crossed:
