Seems you have broken NAND-memory (4GB chip) which contains all system, data, etc.

Now 8 (!) people on forum experiencing this: you and this seven: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Info about Encryption unsuccessful
Phone tries read partitions and due some reason data there messed up.
It's looks like encrypted data for phone and he trying deal with it.
Googling says that this is consequence of broken NAND-memory.

what is the rough cost of replacement of NAND memory?
I guess repair center suggest you to replace whole system board.
Because it's difficult to them replace chip and then write on it clean full-flash.

Also chip contain unique information related to your unit (TA-partition).
Not sure they will replicate it on new. It's easier replace all board and place new label with new IMEI.

I know, but wondering if Sony service can tell your warranty meant to be voided.

Sent from an ARM powered device, running software that isn't oversimplified and actually "just works"

Same problem - Encryption

That's nonsense! They're just basically going after the money. You don't have to replace the motherboard, that's rubbish. All you have to do is to download Flashtool by Androxyde, make sure that you have installed the proper drivers, download any FTF from the Android Development section that suits you, then flash it. If you need a more detailed explanation, then just reply...

I am having the same issue, and got the same reply about the motherboard from the Sony centre.
Could you kindly guide me on how to go about this?

I am a novice at this and have never flashed my phone before. Kindly advise how to.

    The Only Solution till now is to just replace the motherboard as the NAND chip of Xperia M is really weak and since it is mounted on mobo so just the nand chip cannot be replaced :crying:
    My C1904 is now trashed in my drawer for about 3-4 months ago...
    No FTF works,I can boot to TWRP 3 and Cyanogen recovery, still there nothing mounts or wipes...
    Fastboot format and fastboot erase commands does not work ...always fails...

    how much would replacing mother board cost???
    I don't know, ask in your local repair services.
    Maybe will be cheaper to buy used phone e.g. with broken screen and took board from there.
