[Q] xt925 Encryption Unsuccessful - cannot flash

Weaponx525 said:

I am personally trying harder than usual to fix this phone because the battery life is so awesome. It's still a great deal. I hear the Moto X gets pretty great battery life and its cheaper than Nexus 5 right now. Personally I would wait for the Nexus 6, which is rumored to be be built by Motorola.

I am trying to fix this phone for my wife. Personally I am using a Note 3: great big battery and screen but no loyalty to Samsung. If the Nexus 6 pops up I may not be able to resist

I'm trying to keep this phone stock. However I am curious if using Fastboot to unlock and installing custom recovery can work with the partition as screwed up as it is. If so maybe with custom recovery we can properly format the partitions. Thoughts?

After everything sane failed (trying to save the userdata, trying to keep stock), I tried flashing random stuff, including sideloading. Nothing worked. Even the 'unlock' like I said threw an error, though the device does say unlocked. If you manage to successfully install custom recovery please post back how.

i have been wondering for some time, basically since i saw this before, if there was any way to fix the permissions.
as im far from knowledgeable in this area, i would be no help.
are either of you good with adb, or know if its possible to chmod a hole partition?
or is it possible to delete partitions?

the thought here is if we could fix the permission issues obviously or if we could just remove all the partition like an empty drive. like you would do in windows disk manager. when the phone is new from production the drive has to be empty and not partitioned, and im assuming the partition file sets it up as there are no write protections on an empty drive.

does any of that make sense? possible?
just throwing some random thoughts out. so if its inherently dumb or not possible, just say so. i admittedly don't really know what im talking about in this area.
