Hi! I'm quite new here and I'm not sure if this post breaks any rule. T_T
Anyway, I successfully rooted my Xperia XA (F3115), thanks to this guide: [F31xx][Video Guide] How to root your Xperia XA (as noob friendly as possible
)
However, after rooting, when I tried to encrypt the internal storage again, it seems like there is a problem. The encryption started but when the process rebooted my phone, it is taking too long. It has been more than 3 hours and my phone is still stuck in the boot screen with the "Xperia" text. :crying::crying::crying:
I do not want to interrupt the boot as I'm afraid it might mess up my phone. Do you have any advice?
Thank you in advance!
~~Update:
Because I need to use the phone I decided to risk it and interrupted the boot loop by holding the power button + volume up.
The phone restarted and showed that the encryption failed, giving me an option to Reset the phone.
I opted to reset the Phone. It just booted to the setup screen you get when the phone is new.
I will try to encrypt the phone again after setup.
~~update:
I have confirmed the Super SU app was the culprit. If you want to encrypt the phone again you will have to do it before the step where you have to boot into recovery to install Super SU.
~~update:
After setting my own password and encrypting the phone, I tried booting to TWRP. It asked for the password so I typed in my password, but it failed. Any idea why?
I really want to have a rooted AND encrypted Xperia XA.
