Ok. So I thought I would give encrypting my phone a test drive, as I have never done it before, and read a lot about the pros and cons, and decided to see for myself since having the code, I could always factory reset, worse case scenario, right? WRONG! The problem is that even performing a factory data reset, it refuses to mount data, resulting in no change whatever. So I'll just TWRP wipe, and restore nandroid right? WRONG! Nothing I do will allow the data to be mounted, so I always end up back where I started. I read that flashing a custom kernel is a workaround, but I am on stock rooted, with stock SE Linux enforcing, so I don't think I can flash a kernel. I'm afraid to use the upgrade tool, as I am afraid that it will either fail or brick my device. If I am wrong, or have missed anything in my searches, please correct me and help if you have knowledge in this area. Apparently, one thing Touchwiz got right is a decrypt option in their settings. AS it is, I am unable to backup, restore, or flash another ROM, because data will not mount to be wiped. UGH! Worst mistake I have made. Ever. Thanks in advance for any help with this. I have no problem in losing everything, as I have important stuff backed up physically and in the cloud. :eek:
