I had encrypted enforced through a company policy. Device worked fine no problems. Enter pin at boot and in we go.
This policy was removed and I de-encrypted the device. Still no problems.
The device clearly showed it was not encrypted and I had the option to encrypt - so all good so far.
I rebooted the device and was asked for my device storage password. I entered my old pin and it booted ok. Bit strange I thought but device works so that's good right?
So I did a factory reset. Same thing happened. prompted for a PIN
I re flashed the phone back to the original carrier ROM - same thing. Still being prompted for PIN.
I installed TWRP 2.6 and did a format - same thing.
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of the encryption? (Well the fact it keeps asking for the de-encryption PIN - as its actually not encrypted)
thanks
Hi,
I have the samsung galaxy unlocked n7100 phone. I decided to root the phone (im a noob) and was following the instructions on technobuffalo.
I ran Odin3.07, clicked PDA and used CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.tar.md5. Seemed to work find (see screenshot). The device rebooted and asked "Enter the PIN or password to use the encrypted device storage facility" as I have full disk encryption turned on previously.After entering PIN the screen goes blank and nothing more happens.
I gather that the encryption is the problem? How do I go about fixing this?
Appreciate any help.

nothing worked i didnt root my phone i dint try anything it started showing this and i cannot use my phone right now. what should i do? plz help
everytime i turn on my phone a screen pops up saying "your phone is encrypted"
it asks me for a password (lockscreen password) but i never had a lockscreen password, trying diferent passwords and pressing "decrypt" a screen appears with the following:
"decryption unsuccessful.
The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt. To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your Google Account."
then there is just a button that says "reset phone" it sends me to this screen regardless of what password i enter. when i press the reset phone botton, it takes me to TWRP recovery to reset my phone, but when i try to wipe any partitions it does nothing. i tried reinstalling the rom and the "phone is encrypted" screen appears again. i tried installing a different rom and same issue. i tried wiping the data partition through adb shell, but nothing. i've tried everything i could find online but the result keeps being the same, it takes forever to boot and then im greeted by the "your phone is encrypted" screen.
anyone knows what i could do?

Month ago I decided to put passcode for my RedMagic 5G device. I couldn't find any other option but (pattern) So i place it, after that i got the (finger print) option so i tried to place it but in order to do so i would have to put the pattern. I put the pattern it gave me (wrong password) message i tried couple of times it didn't work.
Searched in Google and i read "if its locked, after few fail attempts it will give me to recover password using google account"
So i locked it kept trying but it never show me the "google option" it just kept adding more cool down time for the next attempt.
I deleted the device from my google acct. I format it (wipe data) all my data gone and it still require the pattern.
i format it multiple times and pattern still require.

i format it after the new ROM but still require pattern.
PLEASE help what i should do now?
