[Q] HELP!!! - rooted my encrypted S4 and cant get past decrypt password.

[awukuf]

Hi all,

NEED some urgent help.

i rooted, recovered and installed the jellybean 4.3 ROM - everything worked fine, so i then then encrypted my S4 in the settings menu_

i then noticed that the SuperSU app i downloaded on play said that it didnt have root access.

i then proceeded to repeat the above link but i didnt decrypt the device before hand.

Rooting with CF Auto root worked fine, recovery wit philz touch_5.17.7 also worked fine and i installed the rom again.

when my S4 switches on, everything looks fine until i'm asked for my password for decrypting, my password is correct but cant get past this stage, screen goes blank, black even like its turned off, it vibrates once then about 30 secs vibrates twice, then nothing, it just looks like its turned off.

NEED HELP to get back to androind 4.3

I see exactly the same thing, and another user has reported what seems to be a similar problem: plus.google.com/+Chainfire/posts/hi7knjUuSoX (sorry, it won't let me post a link)

I don't know of any fix for it yet.
