[Q] enter encryption code warning after upgrading to 4.1, plz help

[amol8356]

I updated my friends Galaxy S2(I9100g) to 4.1.0 by downloading files from sammobile and then used odin.
But after flashing the files it shows Enter encryption code to use device storage.
I have tried almost everything but failed.
then I contacted to Samsung care and they says that its a motherboard issue. but how it is possible, I mean the device is not even rooted in past and not a single custom rom is flashed on it.
Then whats the issue is about and how can I solve this?

A rule...you don't flash or upgrade with encryption on. Chances are there is no way bk. If you solve this pls repost how you did this. A lot of people have this problem with no way bk.

That may be possible but as per I know he doesn't know anything about the encryption option.
So what will I do to clear this issue.
I found a similar thread here's the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2114380
I tried the same procedure given in thread that to enter the wrong password for few times(in my case 40-50 times) but nothing happened.

You could try the jb leak firmware and try to do what's done in the link. May work. Have you tried to format the SD card and format system, data,cache?

yup, I have formatted everything by entering stock recovery and then using wipe data/factory reset. but failed.
will you please tell me that where this encryption code or any other codes are stored in device?

 

[andrewwright]

Factory reset is not format. Flash siyah kernel and format in that recovery. Under mounts and storage.

 

[amol8356]

Will u provide me link for that kernel???plz

And i think that this kernel is for i9100 while i am having i9100g.
So can i use this kernel for my device??
If not, plz provide a suitable kernel link.

Go with philz kernel for ease. Same thing really. Main thing is you end up with cwm.

 

[amol8356]

Ok. I will try.

Is worth a try.

 

[amol8356]

But i dnt hv the device with me now. It is in service centre.
So few days are required to get it back.

[andrewwright]

Service center can fix this. Why ask if you put it in for service??

 

[amol8356]

First thing is that..it is out of warranty and second thing is at service centre they said me that its motherboard issue and you need to change that, but cost is about 8500/- INR.
