Dear Fellow Android users,
I have a freshly rooted Samsung A300FU with a freshly installed LineageOS 14.1 following those guidelines : https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa.../how-to-root-twpr-flash-a300fu-a300y-t3494362
All went up fine except one detail that is quite important : It seems I can't encrypt my phone using the android option for that.
When I tried, I ended up in the exact same situation as those two situations :
https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/173019/lineage-os-encrypt-phone-bootloop
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/45527123-encrypting-device-fails-and-leads-to-boot-loop
i.e. Launching encryption process, phone reboot, lineage os Logo moving, then bootloop with samsung logo appearing again and again. I could recover my phone thanks to backup and a format action from recovery.
I wanted to try the painful solution advised in those post I linked, i.e. installing CM13, encryption, part wipe, restore my lineage backup but the problem is I can't find any CM13 rom for my exact device model (A300FU). It may not be wise to try with one for Samsung A300F although just one letter is changing...
So I tried this solution using the Lineageos 15.1 that is available for my device. but Encryption didn't work as well on 15.1. Not a bootloop though, just a quite quick reboot without any thing changed. I restored my 14.1 and tried again to encrypt. Here again no bootloop, just a fast reboot without anything changed.
Well, you, reader, are my last chance because I can't see anything else I could safely do :Is there any other way to encrypt my phone for the nice lineageOS14.1 I have already nicely tuned ?
Thank you very much in advance !
