I have some questions about encryption, can someone shed some light on this subject for me? Thank you!

So I got my HTC 10 all setup last night, its similar to the M8 with S-off and such so it was easy but 1 last thing I am confused about sense its a new problem from any phone of mine is encryption.

What exactly breaks the radio? I know using the unmodified or old supersu can do it, but what else? I flashed the 1.53.617.5 RUU to update, and clean up after S-off.

Now in TWRP it always asks for a password, putting something random won't work, it always fails, hitting "Cancel" lets me use TWRP like normal but internal storage will not mount, so I used SD Card for my xposed flash and such.

I understand wiping encryption or "formatting data" will fix that issue, but won't that break radio? Its my understanding that if the encryption is missing then your radio won't work?

Do I have this information wrong? if I format data will this solve my issue for good?(excluding a possible RUU flash again) is it mainly only a problem with the radio for S-ON users?

Thank you! I want to get the TWRP issue solved but don't want to break radio.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] 5m4r7ph0n36uru:
On newly delivered HTC devices data partition is encrypted. TWRP at the moment can't decrypt and read data, this all flashing has to be done from external SD. SunShine e.g. breaks encryption of data when performing S-OFF, thus data has to be formatted afterwards and a rock boot image to be in place for data to be restored on next reboot. If encryption I'd broken radio will be lost. If I got it correctly at the moment it seams this is caused by a string within the programming of the HTC dialer App. To make sure this problem is currently investigated by a lot if developers working on the 10 already or in near future.

Why do I stay with Verizon :(

Hey all,

Looks like some great work being done on the 10! My contract on my M7 has been up for a few months and I resisted the temptation to get the M9, Got my HTC 10 on the day Verizon released it....Love the phone....But after I read this whole thread, I guess I'll keep the M7 as my "Outlaw" phone and leave the 10 bone stock for now.

Dang just typing that hurt :crying: Knowing me however by next week I might send sunshine my phone...but what's the fun in that. Charging my Incredible to transfer the apps off my 32GB MicroSD Class 10 until my 128GB Micro SDXC Class 10 U3 card gets here.

Anyhoo, just wanted to say thanks to all who are working hard to get a Verizon DIY unlock-able and S-Off! I can wait ;)

I've unlocked a few bootloaders in the past but never had this before, its probably something silly, I but tried 2 tokens with same error
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
Could be that you copied "<bootloader> " that's in front of each line of the code. That part needs to be edited out when you submit to htcdev. If you didn't device that, you need to generate a new code, trim it, and resubmit it.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] matekaneve:
MIght be a silly question, but have you ticked the option "oem unlocking" under developer settings?

[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Original T:
I read thru thread and couldnt find the answer for this but i sunshine s-offed and did the data wipe and currently up and running with radio working but no supersu root installed now

before i flash supersu in twrp do i use the SuperSU 2.72 With ForceEncrypt Set to Default zip to ragain root or do i need to use a different supersu.zip thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
Use the 2.72 one that [MENTION=4470081]topjohnwu[/MENTION] posted in the rom section.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Original T:
which is this zip correct SuperSU-v2.72-forceencrypt.zip and i can flash in twrp correct? sorry just want to make sure im doing it correctly thanks
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
S stands for security. On protects your phone from the user doing something dumb and bricking. You can soft brick (wipe os) with s-on, but you'll have a very hard time completely bricking it to where it's unusable and has to be sent in for repair.

S-off allows you to modify firmware and device settings, like the model id, carrier id, different radio images, etc. For example, currently if you want to use the US unlocked version of the phone on Verizon, you have to be s-off so you can flash the Verizon radio.

Not a problem. Better safe than sorry.

The one in the op here:

http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/development/root-supersu-2-71-forceencrypt-verity-t3373258

Yes, flash in twrp. No wipe necessary.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinicioh23:
Thank you so much for your reply :) I bought this phone to use it with telus here in Canada. I don't think I need to mess with s-off or s-on right? All I wanna do is install twrp and supers.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] jollywhitefoot:
No problem.

You are already s-on.

S-off simply removes a security layer.

It's probably not something you will need unless your carrier does not give you updates in a timely manner. Like when Android N arrives to the device. With s-on you're at the mercy of your carrier for the update.
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinicioh23:
Thank you for all your help! I bought the unlocked version from htc.com
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deano1889:
So I successfully completed the 12 steps.

Now unlocked and S-Off.

I may have wrongly encrypted user data after S-off and trid to rectify this with a system wipe.

I’m not stuck on HTC start up screen (white text black background) and am not having any jy with flashing or RUU stock ROM.

Any ideas?
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] tbalden:
I think that maybe you need one more step. Just like OP says, power off, boot to recovery, then tap Wipe, then choose Format data.

Reboot. I'm doing the same right now, and it works as jcase described.

S-off and rooted...
[HTC 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] awareunlikeu:
Just to clarify, I have done all the steps and successfully unlocked and S-off, and I've been running leedroids Rom while on VZW successfully, but here is my issue: I am not able to turn off encryption on local data? So when I go to download something or try to transfer a file from local data to SD card, I am unable to because of the encryption. Is this something everyone else is seeing or did I do the very last step Wrong by removing encryption? I want to be able to download things on the phone and have them download to my SD card instead of local data. Is this just the way it is right now until the encryption is figured out? Or did I do something wrong I need to go back and start over somewhere? Thanks guys

How do you do a fresh format? My version of twrp has Wipe encryption etc, and the format button isn't where it usually is on different twrp versions :confused:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nachostein:
Hello Guys . . . hope you are well.

This is my last resort to get this working.... otherwise i have a nice piece of glass on my table right now.

I´ve been reading enough to decide to write this, I´ll try to be clear.

A few days ago i update my phone to MarshMellow, everything went ok.

I restarted it a few times.

But yesterday it was a bit low in battery, so i turned it off, plugedin, and went to shower.

When i got out, i picked my phone and tried to turn it on - I WONT TURN ON.

I just took a deep breath and go to work.

When i come back read around to enter the download/recovery mode with all the combination of buttons.

None of them worked out.

So I said..."that s it... i have a brick"...but one thing happens... when i plug the charger, the screen lights up with the battery level and indicates the values.

---

So a resume:

-cant turn on muy phone

-cant enter recovery or download mode

-the screen turns on when plugin the charger.

-the computer seems to detect the device one pluged in.

If i forgot to share any data, please let me know

Thanks in advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boy_welder2000:
I am switching from Verizon to AT&T so I need to get a new phone. Since AT&T doesn't offer Motorola smartphones, I have narrowed my choices down to the S7 and S5 (or maybe the S5 active). I have looked at the specs for both and they seem pretty close. I am not a heavy phone user, mostly just Facebook, email, Pandora, and a few games here and there. Also need a decent camera. Trying to decide if the S7 is worth the extra money over the S5. What is everyone's thoughts? Thank you.

P.S. I am not looking at the S6 due to lack of a SD card slot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stew1411:
Well the S5 is 2 years old, going on 3. When I updated my wife's phone, they didn't offer the S5. I love my S5 Active, however, there will be more support for the S7, while the S5 is nearing its end of life. Also, I heard a S7 Active was right around the corner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] YasharF:
My first smartphone was Samsung Galaxy S (captivate), then got S3, and now I am on S5. This probably will be my last Samsung phone combined with AT&T service.

If you have an individual plan, instead of moving to AT&T with S5 or S7, I would recommend just going to Project Fi with Nexus. When I did the math, I realized that I would actually end up saving even though my current monthly AT&T plan includes a 22% corporate discount. At the end of the day at a lower price point you will get refund on unused data, free tethering, more frequent software updates, free international service (with limits), and overall the service tends to use much less data since it better auto connects to free wifi hotspots that Google knows about. You can go with the Nexus 6P or go with the $200 Nexus 5 and do an upgrade when Nexus 7 or whatever comes out since you can pay off the phone sooner with the savings benefits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sullytrny:
the s5 active has a 16mp camera, sdcard and can be had new for 185 from amazon. I love mine and will keep it until at least s9 are out and I can get an s7 edge for cheap
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stew1411:
I too love my active, however, no root means lack of roms. So marshmallow will most likely be the last update we get, unless att decides to unlock our bootloader. A better option would be to get an international s5 or s7 to unlock. I do believe they even have the active as an international model.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] boy_welder2000:
That is the biggest reason I am switching. It costs me over $100 on Verizon per month. That is even with line splitting with one other person. AT&T will cost me roughly $30 per month due to line splitting with two other people.

Are there any major differences in the S5 vs. S5 active?

I have never rooted a phone. Not even sure what that means. I am on my second smart phone now. I started with Android 2.2 and currently using 5.1
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stew1411:
The s5 and s5 active have identical specs. The only difference is the active is a little more rugged. As for rooting, it's the same thing as jailbreaking an iPhone. It gives you administrative access to all parts of your phone, not just limited access. It's mainly for power users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sullytrny:
If you're into Health the active has a heartbeat monitor. And it's a little more rugged. And it has a dedicated camera key

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stew1411:
Well, yes, that's a trade-off. I would rather have root over NFC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] pickupman66:
I agree. I dont need the wallet as in my small town in rural Tennessee, there are only 3 retailers that take it. everything else is swipe and go. I am about due for an upgrade. 2 years on my s5 and it is well.. old. been a great device. I personally will be very hesitant to grab the S7. Since work pays for it, I may look at a non samsung device. maybe even HTC or a Nexus. Root to me is essential because of the ability to truly customize and debloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stew1411:
In rural Oklahoma it's the same. In the city I work 30 minutes away takes more NFC. Even then I still find myself using my card. Man you're lucky with work paying for the phone. My job gets me 22% of my AT&T bill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] YasharF:
I think on S7, the Samsung Pay feature is different than the NFC wallet and works with any point of sale credit card reader even in small towns. From my understanding S7 has some specialty hardware that mimics electromagnetic signature of credit card's magnetic strip when held next to ordinary traditional credit card swipe readers. http://www.samsung.com/us/samsung-pay The specialty hardware was as result of acqusition of LoopPay by Samsung. http://blogs.wsj.com/personal-techn...samsungs-looppay-mobile-payment-system-works/

Hi There.

I Have an HTC One M8 International Version has not been rooted just plain custom stock installed, it was working Fine, all of a sudden it went off and wasn´t able to be turned on, at this point it would just vibrates repeatedly and was flashing led indicator on green or orange (times blinking/at times solid).

I read on some other forums it might be a battery problem, so i swichted the battery with no results, kept doing the same thing. as getting deep into this some other peeps suggested it might be the screen so i changed the display.

Now, with the new battery and a new display i manage to get the screen to work but i just keeps rebboting (on htc logo) after 10 secs even if i power it off it will turn on and keeps rebooting, im able to get to hboot menu but no furthermore, wont go to recovery at all, and will restart boot loop when chose any option (fast boot, reboot or recovery).

Help please since it is not root, quite sure it hasnt been erased the rom.

:crying::crying::crying::crying::eek::eek:

Any help or suggestion to get it to work again, just as a factory device.

Good morning I have a bricked XDA 02 (HTC Wizard), after a tentative of rom update. Now is dead compleately (doesn't switch on). The only way to solve the problem is the Jtag programming of the processor. I'm looking for the correct JTAG pins, but anyone have traced it till now. I have dismounted the brick and I found a strip on the left side of the board, can anyone tell me what it is used for (picture 2 and 4)??? Can anyone tell me if I can found the JTAG points under the soldering below OMAP processor? Does anyone have the OMAP 850 datasheet?

Well, you've already tried RUU via sdcard. From your choice of ROM, it looks like you're using a Verizon-branded device - is that correct?

It may be worth connecting your phone to a PC and attempting to repair your phone using Verizon's Software Upgrade Assistant (start with HTC's Sync Manager) to repair the phone. Verizon provides instructions on it's website.

Assuming this works - and that's a bit of a long shot, given your symptoms - you'll almost certainly be returned to a S-ON state. If your phone is currently non-functional, that seems worthwhile but you'll have to make that decision.
