I am having problem with the encryption. All my files in SD are converted into .menc file and i have reset the Hermes. Is it anyway to decrypt such files?

Please please do brain storming. I did searched internet but no result.

thx

Did you enable the encrytion under settings\systems? Uncheck that if you did.

I did. It's not because of that. Because I had rebotted and lost the encryption key.

What happens if the device is cold booted?

If the device is reset and internal flash is cleared, the decryption keys are lost. If the keys were preserved, it would be easy to access the storage card of a stolen device by just cold booting the stolen device and clearing its storage, then re-inserting the stolen card.
