SuperSU: Android Encryption problems (Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly, S4 i9505)

Hello all,

I have recently been asked to use email on my work phone (instead of my preferred web-app option). My device (S4 i9505 running a Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly) was/is rooted but after the (standard) encryption process the phone was stuck on a black screen/bootloop/problem.

This was resolved by re-flashing the CM 12.1 rom using TWRP which booted and the device was encrypted with my work email on the phone. SuperSU is installed but the binary needs to be updated and the phone is saying it's not rooted when checking the root using Root Checker.

I want to reinstall/reinstate SuperSU, but I am wondering if this will freeze the phone again, as it is encrypted. What are the known problems with rooted phones/SuperSU and encryption?


Cheers

Please help! Encryption failed and flashing ROM doesn´t help :(

Hi,
please help I have xtresolite Rom installed and tried android encryption.

Phone went black and notification LED was flashing blue.

I forced a reboot and since then the phone boots with some default wallpaper and tells me: "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped."

Wiping and reflashing ROM has not helped.

Anyone got a hint?

thanks in advance

Is encryption borked?

So I turned on encryption today and it took about 5-10 to complete, yet it never asked for a password. I don't use key or gesture based passwords so it's kinda weird? Why would it encrypt without a password?

I've done some googling and it seems the default pass it "default_password". But that one doesn't work. I've done the same with my N7 2013 with the same story and my Optimus G test device does exactly the same.

It this a CM or TWRP bug since all my devices run both?
