[Q] Problem with Note 2 encryption

Hi I recently encrypted my phone and SD card.
Everything worked fine until i connected it to my mac and was using Kies to copy a folder over to the SD card. It was a i.39 GB folder, while copying the phone suddenly restarted and when it resytarts its usualy asks for password to unencrypt the device and SD card.
While adding the password which was the correct one as i used it before, it kept asking me to try again as if the password was wrong. I tried it many times and in the end after 10 tries the phone erased all the data and restarted with factory reset.
The prtoblem is now all my images, pics, videos are all loked...i can see them but cannot open any tfile which was on the SD card.
is there a way i can unencrypt it...Please help!!!!

[Q] My Phone Can not Read content on my SD Card

Hello Guys,
I had to encrypt my phone because of the Company i was working in before. And now when i quite i wanted to remove the Encryption by decrypting, But No, that does not work.
According to Samsung you have to Factorey reset the phone.
So i Did...
After that my Phone does not recognize any content on my SD card. I can not View pictures or Viedos. I can not listen to music or open office files.
If i add something to the SD card i can read and write to it. But i CAN NOT access the old info stored to the SD card before factory reset.
when i plug the the SD card into the Computer, i can not open any of the content, it´s like they are encrypted or something.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Well it does say when youre trying to factory reset that you won't be able to access encrypted sd card files as the encryption key will be erased with the reset..

So Stupid!
Yes, i saw that yesterday when i did factory reset again. i thought that if i use same password when encrypting that maybe i will get the same key and can unlock the files on my SD Card. but no... i did not work.
In other Words, the files are not damaged on the SD Card, they are encrypted, right ?
If no one in this forum can help me out, i will save the SD Card for the future.
Maybe technology will be able to solve this kind of issues or maybe i will get to know a nice Hacker that will offer his/her help.
Please let me know if there is an other solution out there.
Thanks.

I don't think anyone will be able to help you here, that's the whole point of encrypting it. Why do you think that your Company insisted on it in the first place?

[Q] How to encrypt & decrypt your phone + SD card?

Hy,
I have a couple of questions... If I want to encrypt the data of my phone+sd storage, I do it in the settings and set the pin/password.
But then there are things I find disturbing/dont know:
1: When select encrypt sd card, all is greyed out and my pc doesnt recognise it anymore. How do I copy my images to the pc?
2: If I encrypt the phone storage also, how can I access this?
So what I'm wondering is that, how can I even make backup if I cannot access storages through pc?
I though there is option for decrypt (with your passcode) ?
Thank you for your answers

There is probably a better way, but for me i just use dropbox to sync everything to my pc's.

[Q] Is mSD Encryption possible?

I have the c2004 with CM11(12/3/14 version) and no custom kernel(3.4.0-CM+), I've encrypted the phone and I was certain that the mSD would be encrypted too, but it was not, I've googled how to do so, and there was a guide saying that in security there would be an option to encrypt the SD card, but it isn't there, then I came to xda where I found everything that I needed to put CM in my phone(Thanks!) but I didn't found it either, so, if there is a way to encrypt the mSD could you please tell me or show me a topic where it is explained?

SD Card Encryption

I encrypted my SD Card, but now I can't read any files with my computer which are in my SD Card...
So this is not practical if we can not get ourselves to our own data.
Now I think SD Card is useless especially for security.

Furthermore we can't use Schema or Knock Code for the lockscreen...
Anyone know why we can't read any files from the computer ?? even after the password, the files are still encrypted.

That's the point in encrypting it. To read from an outside source you will have to decrypt it.
With regards to knock code are you on V20A? I believe there was a bug where knock code was missing in that release but brought back in V20B, however it is minimum 6 knocks now instead of 3 :/

Why is that normal ? that's stupid I think, I encrypted my files ok but I unlocked my phone when I plug it to my computer... so I can read all my files in the internal storage, but why I can't in my external storage ?
That's not normal at all
When you encrypted your SD Card, you can't have Knock Code or Schema anymore, always use a password or code pin.

No one care if you get your phone stolen or lost ?

Sorry I misunderstood what you were saying. I don't bother encrypting so can't speak from experience but yes I guess you should be able to see it after password entered, can't help anymore on this.
The knock code was a missed feature in Polish first release I believe. I think the bug was found and fixed before the rest of Europe release and they then released 20B to fix the Polish one. This is what I think the situation is. I believe the PIN / pattern etc is still there? Check on LG Bridge if there is update if not rooted or flash one of the fixed things if you are still on 10A

I still have Knock Code, but you can't use it when you crypted your external storage, you only have code pin or password.
Anyway Knock Code is useless now because we need to tap at least 6 taps !
