Does anyone know how to decrypt Android cryptfs on GNU/Linux?

I know that Android uses dmcrypt, but obviously it doesn't use luks, so cryptsetup doesn't work. On Android the decryption is kicked off by vdc/vold, but I couldn't figure out if it is completely custom or relies on certain libraries or interfaces that are easily portable or already available on GNU/Linux.

So, before I start delving into the code, I thought I'd ask if someone else has been working on this or has further resources on the matter.

Thanks!

I've looked at the auto-searched threads for answers, but could not find anything concrete.

I have the Galaxy tab 2 GT3113 and I rooted it, but did not flash CWM.

Question is, can this be done after the fact?

I used Odin V3.07 to root the tablet.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hello. About a month ago I rooted my phone using this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189646. Everything went great until today. Few hours ago I received a system update (about 10MB) and installed it. And since then every time I reboot my phone I get ClockworkMod recovery menu showing up on my screen. I tried pulling out the batery, I even made a factory reset, but it still gives the the CMW menu every time I reboot my device. Maybe anyone of you could tell me what to do? Cause I'm kinda panicking right now :(

P.S. I also made such thing as "format /system" through "mounts and storage" menu. I don't know why, but I think it should be mentioned (just in case)
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Deleted member 2530995:
Well the best way now will be to download CWM backup for your phone from this thread, send it to sdcard and just recover using CWM. This way you won't lose root and CWM. If it won't work just you use KDZ to flash ROM from scratch. Check this thread too: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36352031&postcount=3
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Feero21:
Thanks you. One more question. How do i know which CWM recovery to download? There are two Jelly Bean ones
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] cmahendra:
If you share which L9 variant you have, which country rom you flashes or stay, then people will be able to help/tell you, which cwm backup is suitable to your L9.

Update your profile with your country name (if u r not criminal? lolz kidding), operator name and add L9 variant in your signature. at the moment, your profile is completely naked. :D
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Feero21:
Ok, I managed to deal with my problem. Firstly I tried using cmahendra's guide on installing KDZ offline, but after aproximately 2 hours of complete failage I began searching for other ways. Luckily user edriskus answered to the message I sent him and suggested me doing the same as I tried to do before. He didn't mention the offline version so I thought that I should try the "online" one. And it worked! I don't really know how it sounds in numbers, but now my phone says that it has 4.1.2 version of android (hopefully the latest one available for L9).

There are few questions left:

1. Does my phone remain rooted or I have to root it once again (since I have reinstalled the software)

2. This one confuses me the most. Now my phone feels very laggy (which is strange, because it was factory reset previously and there aren't any apps here). I feel it from sliding menu/photos, surfing the settings and other similar actions. Maybe there is a way to fix it?

Nevertheless, my phone is working again and I really appreciate your help, fellows!

[Acer Iconia A500] skurtov:
Are you on Stock ICS? or do you have custom the bootloader?

If you're on OTA Stock ICS, when booting your tablet, try holding down the volume down button, and moving the lock orientation switch on and off, that should erase data and cache, essentially a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you might have to pull out your SD card, and get an OTA update zip.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25590039&postcount=131

Place the downloaded file onto the root of your SD, then reboot the Iconia and hold the volume up key. This will force it into the recovery to reinstall ICS.

If you're not on stock, boot yourself into APX mode, by turning off the tab, then with a paper clip, hold the reset button, while doing that, press the power button for two seconds, release power button, then release the reset button.This should bring you into APX mode. After that, use Blackthunders APX tool, provided you have your CPUID and SBK, to reflash the bootloader. This will reinstall the recovery and bootloader, from which you can re flash the ROM
[Acer Iconia A500] speedyduck:
Hi,

I'm in a similar boat, so instead of starting a new thread, I hope you don't mind I hitch hike on yours.

My iconia got stuck at the loading screen with "android" being displayed.

I'm on stock HC, had this problem once before, and managed to find a rom and flashed to get it going.

But this time, when I flashed the same rom that worked last time, the tablet said "unofficial rom" upon reboot. Tried a few other roms to no avail.

Just wondering if there's a original official Aust. rom that I can download and reflash my iconia?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Stock HC after 3.1 is unrootable so you need to go back to 3.1 and take the ota to 3.2 and 3.2.1..or

Forget HC and flash the v8 bootloader from 3.1 and get yaself some ics/jb goodness!

Hi,

I' m new Nexus 4 users. I used Galaxy S3 and install cm 10.1 to my s3. I buy Nexus 4 because I like real android but now I'm not sure about root/install my Nexus 4. Because Nexus 4 is real android (UI). What is your advice and idea?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rojiblanko14:
I came from the Galaxy S and the Galaxy Note and ran custom ROMs on both, honestly some of them were buggy (specially the note) and now that I been using the Nexus 4 I haven't rooted yet because I am enjoying stock android plus key lime pie is just around the corner, my advice is to run it stock, enjoy KLP and maybe rooted later.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facetubespam:
I stayed stock because it's my first time having a true stock phone. Might go ROM route in the future, but haven't seen anything that makes me need to.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
If you can't find a reason to root, then you have your answer.

I wanted to adjust my quick settings tiles, install themes and have a T9 dialer, therefore I rooted and flashed. Everyone is different.

Since the Nexus 4 is in AOSP and the majority of the ROMs are compiled you won't have the rampant bug issues here. Just an FYI.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RossMacgill:
i rooted, and keep stock, then after a while i flashed a new kernal, i wanted root, for a few reasons, like block ad's t9 dialer, but yeah stock rom is good for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
Run it stock and revisit if/when you notice something lacking. The factory images are great, and I happily run stock when new images drop.

You've run CM10.1 so you know what custom ROMs can offer. Typically custom ROMs can/will be much

less

buggy on a Nexus since AOSP typically doesn't face any issues on this device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] selimozbas:
Thank you for the answers. I think i keep stock rom. Maybe future...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
As much as stock is decent I dislike it, no T9 and such. Rooting allows me to install a custom rom and root apps. I generally lower the height of the navigation bar to gain more screen estate, and such, they run just as well as stock.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
nexus is the only device where you wanna install a rom. legacy rom scene is rom hell, we're talking hacks, ports, mashups, frankenstein roms made of bits and pieces to get around missing sources and whatnot.

nexus is supported by google, that means developers get to compile actual aosp. google supplies tools, drivers, kernels, blobs, pretty much everything. a developer that compiles here basically creates stock android. and instead of pissing away time with hacks you can actually make features and worry about things that matter. its unlikely to create severe bugs unless you really try hard to mess with androids internals. some extra features may not be cooked through but thats the same with stock and its revisional bugs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] curzpemmel:
Hey everyone, this is my first time here on the forum.

I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am currently living in Brazil. I was able to use text and data on my phone when I had the stock rom installed. Now that I have been running Cyanogenmod roms, I have not been able to make apps such as APN manager Pro as a system app. Therefore, I have not been able to text or use data.

Does anyone else have this problem? What are some recommended roms or workarounds for me to be able to use text and date in another country?

I appreciate any feedback!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
Youll need Titanium pro to convert the app to a system app. In titanium pro backup all of your apps.once done find the backup of apn manager pro. long press on it to bring up options. You should see the option to convert it there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] djteotancolis:
I dont think Cyanogen allows you to use global mode..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] curzpemmel:
yeah I dont think so either. are there any roms that you recommend that do support global?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
Any Touchwiz-based ROMs will allow it, any AOSP-based ROMs will not. It's because Samsung has not released the source for the phone's radio. In order to get full functionality out of the radio, you need to use a ROM based on the factory Touchwiz software (CleanROM, Synergy, Beans, whatever)

Im currently running the synergy 443 and can say its very user friendly when making the switch to gsm. I can also say cleanROM does a very good as well if you perfer less bloat

So this weekend I replaced the back cover of my Nexus 4 since it was broken, since replacing it i've noticed that my wifi signal has been extremely weak. I noticed that the replacement back cover did not have this black film/tape on it. Could this be whats effecting it or could it be something else?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igooner14:
Ok it was definitely the back glass replacement, I put the old cover back on and now my wifi issues are no longer. I guess its safe to assume the issue was the missing metallic on the inside of the new cover. Mods can close this if they would like.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddmatt:
Why close the thread? The info could be useful for other people. Are you able to take the required bits from the old cover to the new one or did you get a defective cover?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] igooner14:
Your right I didn't think about that, i'm sorry. As far as the required bits, I don't think they can be removed and put on the other cover. I contacted the seller and told them i'd like to return due to the fact it was missing the bits. I've found another and will let everyone know how it works. Also in a little bit i'll post some pictures of what i'm talking about.

After a lot of ****ing around and the purchase of numerous SD cards, because of the ****ed Bootloader 5.17. I decided to seek professional help to re-flash my ROM. My boss said his friend got it done for $A-100. Still relatively expensive, so I did my own research and found that ACCS (Accord Customer Care Solutions) did it for $A-45. Nice price :lol:

It took them about half an hour and I started the XDA up and the Radio software wasn't working. After thinking about it, I re-installed the official XDA release and my phone is working again. For the first time in TWO MONTHS. Thank god for that. I would have liked to be able to solve the problem myself, but it took a hell of a lot of ****ing around.

Anyone in Melbourne with the same problem, call ACCS on (03) 9348-5555.
