JellyBomb 12.1: Encryption Failed

[ForgottenSolstace]

I just attempted to flash my Note 2, and install Jellbomb w/ Aroma. All went well, with status code of 0, but when I restarted my device, I got the following screen:

Encryption Failed
Unable to complete encryption due to interruption. Perform factory data reset (erasing all your data) before use. After resetting, try encrypting device again.

Edit: I am now aware that this occurs of what ROM I install. *Got the same problem, after installing LabRats 1.0.

I am able to wipe the device, but this does not help. I get the same message on boot-up.

Is there a way to disable encryption to bypass this screen so that I can use the newly-installed ROM?

Thanks in advance.

I can tell you it's not a Lab Rats issue, and as I keep up with jelly bomb its not a reported issue there either. Do a one click and start over.

This is not a ROM issue. The problem you're describing happens when you've encrypted your device, and did not undo the encryption before flashing a new ROM. The fix is easy... Boot into TWRP and go into the WIPE menu. One of the wipe options will warn you that you're about to delete the full internal data partition, removing encryption. Do that, then re-flash the the ROM.

Thanks, but I already tried that yesterday. I tried completely wiping the internal memory. I still get the same error.

The strange thing is, I never encrypted my device earlier.... ever. Maybe if I try encrypting it and removing encryption, this will help?

I saw somewhere on these forums that that message is just a generic message that you get when Android can't access the /data partition. Is this possibly the case, and perhaps do I have a different issue? I did have issues mounting /data earlier, but I resolved those by updating TWRP.

Thanks in advance.

Do like I said and do a one click, it wipes everything and re partitions it.

Still Can't Fix This - Months Later

This is just an update for this thread, for those experiencing the same issues. A number of older posts, similar to this one, with the "encryption failed" dialog, are already on XDA:

• http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957155&page=23
• http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26317290

I have been researching this topic in great depth over the last few months, and I was able to reach the conclusion that I need to re-root my device, and go back to stock.

So I tried, that failed too.

Here's the image that results from attempting to re-flash my device.

Note: I am inclined to believe that the encryption is a result of rooting a WIND Mobile device (not Sprint) when it was not supported in the Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit.

Thanks for any help.
