Flash the stock Odin firmware from the OP. You never mentioned you were stock. Can't change build.prop in pure stock rom. Well not device id anyway

Op is "opening page", that is the first page of this thread. Sometimes Op refers to the threads author. just have to pay attention to the context it's used

Stock firmware from FIRST PAGE
phone off press and hold power down and up and then plug in USB. Follow Odin instructions to flash previously mentioned firmware from the Original Post. After you may need to perform factory reset in stock recovery

Recovery with Encryption

Try my kernel with philz first. It supports encryption I believe
rogersb11 - I'm running CM10.1.3 stable with encryption on an S959G but none of the recoveries in the op's first post (including PhilZ 6.0.2.7 and TWRP 2.7.1.0 - found in another post) prompt for an encryption password - I would like to be able to backup my data partition through the recovery. I tried flashing Shift 5.0 and it just soft-bricked the phone so I had to reflash CM to get the original kernel back.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance...

Well that's because they kernel isn't for pre KK. The recovery itself will work but that doesn't do much good. Give me a day or two and I'll build a JB kernel with a WAY newer philz than 6.0.2.7. I need to update the build but currently it's 6.56.8 I believe. I'm not sure why some of these roms support encryption when I THINK it's also kernel dependant. I'll quote you here when I've got that JB kernel ready

Recovery with Encryption

Well technically this is for cm 10.2 but that shouldn't matter. Just went ahead and built. This is completely UNTESTED. I never built for JB, just have what's needed in my repo for stuff just like this
Thanks for the try! No joy - same result as last time. Installing Shift-JB doesn't have any effect on the recovery (tried to install from CWM/PhilZ/TWRP) - just bricks the OS. Is the OS kernel separate from the recovery kernel or do they both use the same?

I would try it with CM 10.2 for you but the nightly build boot-loops on the phone (without even installing Shift).
