[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bootlejr88:
This is what I did and it worked for me!!!

1. Power off

2. Hold Volume + , volume - and power at the same time until you get a green android image with the body opened with "Start" on the screen

3. Press Down till you get to recovery mode

4. Press power

Phone will reboot. You will then get same image of android (smaller) with red warning triangle

5. Wait a minute or two and then press volume + and power

6. Use volume down to select wipe data/factory reset and hit power

Select Yes - delete all user data and hit power

7. Once done select reboot system now and hit power

Note: in step 5. All you do is tap the volume+ and power, you don't hold them.

good luck.

Encryption password problem

Hi,

I just had this problem but it was self inflicted, i accidently flashed the wron recover and even when I flashed the correct recovery it was asking for a password. this seems to be caused by android beiong unable to mount a partition correctly. To fix it i did the following

1. Boot into recovery

2. Go to advanced

3. Format data

4. Format cache (not sure if this is required)

5. Wipe and rest divice

6. Reboot device (all is now well)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killsforpie:
Had this happen to my Nexus 7 (2012). There is some data on there that I would really like to preserve. I would even consider cutting the onboard storage off the board if that would help me get the data off. I can get into the adb sideload menu from recovery and I'm wondering if flashing an OTA could help me out here. I'm sure at least part of the onboard storage is hosed but maybe enough remains to survive an OTA sideload?

I'm making a couple of assumptions here though:

- side-loading an OTA will preserve app data

- my current device can take an OTA in it's current state without a full factory reset

- I can reflash the 4.4.2 OTA or I can flash the 4.4.3 OTA when it becomes available (hopefully soon)

Anyone have some experience with this scenario?

USB device

Have you tried connecting to your computer via a USB cable and just using it as a mountable set of directories.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killsforpie:
The only time that I've seen it mount is for a couple of seconds when booting up before the "type password to decrypt" pops up where it disappears again. Is there somewhere else I should be able to mount it given my situation?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexmnz:
Can you access recovery as if you can boor into recovery there is an option there called "mounts and storage" in CWM and I am sure the equivalent if you are using TWRP. Try mounting your data partition, If you are succesful you should be able to use adb to pull from your data partition by connect your phone to your PC through USB, At command line type adb devices and it should show your connection.

Adb pull ./data/whatever will get your data back

Just wanted to drop an update:

I seemed to be able to flash the KTU84L OTA fine by sideloading it, but when I rebooted I'm still seeing the "Type your password" prompt.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stas_:
This worked for me.

I was experiencing the "Type password to decrypt" issue after upgrading my Nexus 7 (2012) from JDQ39 to KTU84P using the Nexus Recovery Toolkit.

(I also had to swap in an older bootloader from JWR66V, because the one that came with KTU84P was corrupted - see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2417097).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] velishka:
It happened to me too on my Nexus 7 (2012) !

After battery died I saw type password to decrypt and obviously no cure.

It is full stock, never rooted, no custom recovery

1. Wiping data thru stock recovery doesn't work. On the top of that after wiping commands thru recovery the tablet goes into No command. bootloop and never goes back on.

2. Wiping data thru fastbook didn't work either.

3. Fastbook oem unlock doesn't work. The message pops up on the screen of the tablet, I choose YES, but it never unlocks, staying in the lock state. So I can't really unlock the device, can't flash anything.

4. Sideloading OTA 4.4.2 update didn't help. I was already on the 4.4.2, so I sideloaded the update again to see maybe that would help. It didn't.

5. Fastbook overwriting the recovery or boot img obviously doesn't work, since the tablet is locked.

Any other suggestion besides selling it on the eBay for parts ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jett2314:
After flashing 5.0 I found it to lag and tried flashing back to 4.4.4 and came up with the system asking for a password to decrypt my storage. It will not boot into recovery just shows the android with the red triangle in it. Using wug's tool kit with the soft brick setting checked I was able to flash back to 5.0. it will take some time to fully boot for the first time so be patient. For right now a little lag beats a useless tablet. Hope this helps others.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finnfather:
I have a Moto G XT-1033 that has been charged down for a couple of months and when I powered it up was greeted by the same password request - I didn't encrypt my device and even if I did I wouldn't care about losing everything because I have a newer one now. So I booted into Recovery and tried the "wipe data/factory reset" and get:

Formatting /data
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.

Now, when I say there was no charge left I've started doing this when the USB cable was first plugged in, so perhaps I should wait until it has charged a bit, but if the memory has failed because it had no charge I shall be pissed off. The phone is less than 13 months old... :(

(Double unfortunately, I unlocked the Bootloader and the message says that voids my warranty right away, so either way I'm stuffed...)

Type Password to Decrypt Storage after a low batt powerdown

Hello

I wanted to let you guy know my Nexus 7 from x-mass 2013 is doing the same thing and all i have done its use it normally. You guys are going right over my head but i wanted to let you know i have not done the first thing in the way of changing anything. I used it last night, this morning i found it dead, plugged it in for 10 mins and booted it to the lock screen. My first thought was i had a virus that wanted all my passwords. I guess I'm going to try a hard reset, but its looking like i will be lucky if it works. It may be useful to note the WiFi was off when this happened. I wonder if setting a password would be a workaround for this bug.

Thanks, Mark

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lee_Garington:
ill tell you what i would do...depending on what kind of recovery you had, lets say a TWRP..... i would go and change the pesky data file type 'Ext4 to another and than change it back. simple.

#1 enter recovery

#2 select wipe data

#3 select advanced wipe

# 4 select "change file type (it is crucial that you only change the data partition NOTHING ELSE!) Change it from "ext4 to ext3.

# 5 give it a second and let it completely convert and then change it back! run your back up with your newly resurrected data partition and it should work just fine and no need to stress because what you are essentially doing is tricking the program or otherwise known as "hacking" lol, anyways i hope i saved somebody somewhere some tears! good luck,
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WyldWolf:
Funny I too had this exact scary issue of the dreaded password to decrypt prompt. My fix was eembarrassngly easy. It boiled down to a simple VERSION issue.

So, I restored a full nandroid backup that was just a tad EARLIER of a bootloader (also wiped this partition) than what my device had been running (which as we know is a one-way street in many cases and booloaders (in my case, a NABI) cannot be downgraded PAST a certain version.). Well, I was at that version.

All I did to fix mine, restore the exact same early nandroid, then find the zip of the 1.29 bootloader, install it using TWRP, same session find and open the magic OTA zip that I then remembered upgrading from 1.29 to 1.37 MINUS THE 1.29 early bootloader. So, in my case, I had done some fancy "hold back the bootloader".

Anyway, literally when I applied and allowed the OTA zip to run through it's normal patching/upgrade process in TWRP plus the old bootloader BOOT partition flash, it booted right up, re-optimized apps and began the new setup process.

Anyway, hope it helps anyone else - be VERY sure if you're staring at that password to decrypt screen that you really truly ARE flashed EXACTLY to both system AND BOOT that you should be, BEFORE you start down a path of further destruction! :)

SD card read/write, free ram, battery comsumption are influenced by kernel and rom, not only rom.

Try different kernels, that rom is good, you'll find a kernel that pleases you.

As for internet access, maybe changing the baseband can solve your problem.

I got my xperia z for 1 week now. Unlocked the bootloader, rooted the device and uninstalled almost all default apps, so far so good. The phone is fast, i like the screen, i read all kind of bad things about the viewing angles but in real life it really isn't an issue and the detail and colours are just awesome. Battery life after removing all stock crap is about 2 days with medium to high usage which is fine. So far i don't have anything to complain about.

But what now, i don't see much development going on, the xperia z development thread stays frighteningly empty. Will there be any developer support, will we get an official CM build, i really hope it will, the device has much potential!

Is this a sign that Archos 101 G9 will not get Jelly Bean?

[Gen9 Android Development] solrakk6:
when archos gve us 4.1? when the 5 is out?.. or nevr for g9? :(
[Gen9 Android Development] 55mls:
Here is a quote taken from the Archos Facebook website:

"""

Archos Worldwide Marco Antunes - Unfortunately after many months of analysis and

testing it has been decided that, due to the multiple hardware configurations

available on our G9 range and the complexities these add, we will not release an

Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean” update to the G9 range tablets. The G9 Range, originally

released in the autumn of 2011, running Honeycomb, saw 15 firmware updates taking

it across many versions of Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich, making 4.0.26 the

final firmware that will be provided to this device range.

"""

I assume that the 4.0.26 was a typo because 4.0.28 was released at about the exact same time as the above was posted.

Personally, I'm glad all this nonsense about Jelly Bean is finally over! Since new devices come out just about every 6 months these days now... why would anybody have actually expected Archos to update their (now several years old) G9 tablets? Just about all electronic devices are now considered as "throw away" devices and not expected to even be in use 2 years after they first come out.
[Gen9 Android Development] swaaye:
More like a year and a half. At least 4.0.28 seems to work pretty well. It's the first 4.0.x version I'll stick with I think.

You are certainly correct in saying that consumer electronics are EOLed very quickly because the consumer hive mind moves on to the next exciting barely-supported junk without much delay. Thankfully these are open-source devices and so can be improved further, perhaps beyond incompetent Archos abilities.

[Gen9 Android Development] topperdude:
I had sideloaded flash player after upgrading to ICS and although it is not officially supported by google, it was working great for viewing flash content (e.g. Amazon Instant videos) in certain browsers (Firefox, Opera Mobile, Dolphin). After upgrading to the latest firmware on Wednesday night, I am no longer able to play these videos using the flash player. Things I have tried:

1. Rebooted tablet several times after firmware upgrade (read somewhere that doing so can help clear up any post upgrade playback/plugin issues).

2. Uninstalled and re-installed Adobe Flash using the same apk I had downloaded onto the tablet and used with prior versions of the official ICS on this tablet. (Rebooted couple times between uninstalling and reinstalling for same reason as above - couldnt hurt):

a) Uninstalled Adobe Flash, rebooted (couldnt hurt), cleared cache and data for various browsers, rebooted and re-installed Adobe flash.

However, I am still unable to get flash video (specifically Amazon Instant Videos) working on the table with any of the browsers listed above. Would appreciate if anyone could confirm whether or not this might be due to the new firmware or if there are other browsers that are confirmed working with flash videos on this new firmware.

Thanks,
