HTC One M7 :: Bricked After Failed Encryption - Factory Reset Failing
Apr 8, 2015
I googled and learned how to work with adb & fastboot on my Mac. So I rooted the phone and installed Cyanogenmod 12. The phone is operational again.A tremendous noob here. And most likely a certifiable *****, but my mom hasn't had me tested yet.Never rooted a phone in my life or even accessed a recovery console before. Was playing with options to encrypt my Stock M7 with Lollipop (carrier OTA version), fully aware of the risk of a factory reset should it fail. Was okay with it. Except the factory reset doesn't work. So I'm no longer okay with it, as the phone is bricked.Boots into recovery console that reports error in mounting /data:
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg (Code -1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes (Code -1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no (Code -1)
E:missing bitmap icon_ruu (Code -1)
Backup necessary files in data partition
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument).. try emmc mount
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe failed.
Running data wipe manually from the menu (option "wipe data/factory reset") seems to be successful:
-- Wiping data...
Backup necessary files in data partition
E:failed to mount /data (Invalid argument).. try emmc mount
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
Wiping cache partition manually (option "wipe cache partition") is also successful:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
The bootloader menus offer no clues as to how to proceed, I can initiate factory reset from there, but it results at the same boot procedure as outlined above.

my phone has been playing up and generally malfunctioning lately. It seems to work fine for a day or so before freezing, and either rebooting itself or forcing me to manually reboot it using power + volume down. This seems to send it into a bootloop where it generally freezes during the Samsung animation with the pulsing squares. This sequence continues with me manually rebooting, also trying to boot to safe mode and to recovery and after various attempts, i successfully got into recovery without it freezing on the blue android.
I then decided to factory reset as a last option, having looked around on forums for solutions. However, I now do not know what to do as it seems to have frozen during the factory reset. I dont have screenshots but the script reads as follows :
dm-verity verification failed. . .
-- Wiping data. . .
Formatting /data. . .
Formatting /cache. . .

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 worked.

Does anyone know how to decrypt a file that was encrypted by Gingerbread's new security feature?? I performed a factory reset this morning after I was experiencing the dreaded battery drain last night. I have my work corporate e-mail account on my phone and since the Gingerbread update the administrator options required my memory card to be encrypted . Well, I just Googled how to perform a hard reset and did the manual factory data reset without getting the prompts about not being able to access encrypted files any longer once the reset is complete.
I now have about 100 camera pictures that were saved on my SD card that I can no longer view since the factory reset. I had some pics from several trips that I forgot to transfer to my computer. Is there anyway I can decrypt these files on my SD card now that I've done the reset. I don't mind going through a lot of hoops to do this or purchasing a program...I really need those pics!

We were doing some testing with Exchange and Active Sync for a project at work. Unfortunately the default "ActiveSync" profile had "require encryption" checked and when I set up a test Exchange mailbox on my phone this setting got applied.We have since decided that in this instance we don't need to require encryption so I created a new Exchange policy. I removed the Exchange mailbox from my phone and then re-added the account with the new policy applied. However, I am getting messages that encryption is required. I looked at my phone and discovered that the "storage encryption" setting on my phone is still checked and greyed out even after I removed the Exchange mailbox from my phone and rebooted it.

I'm an early adopter of Android (coming from iOS) and this is my first android phone. I've been reading and some posts suggest that I should do a factory reset after the update.
I wanna hear your thoughts about this, is it necessary? Knowing that android doesn't have a good backup system unlike iOS, it's time consuming to move everything back where it was. Do the benefits outweigh the cons? My G3 has never been rooted btw got no intentions to do so.

I have an unlocked One M8,EMEA variant running stock sense 6.Yesterday,i got the lollipop OTA and did install it today.Now, I heard a lot of people complaining about performance issues and overall lesser stability on lollipop compared to kitkat, on reddit and a few other sites
Factory reset recommended after the update, especially considering the change of runtime to ART and all those system level changes? Have any of you done it on any of your devices and Is it worth the hassle? Will the performance or battery life be any better?

After I received the update, my phone slowed considerably. It may have been a result of some other things, but point is, it slowed. To the point where I was waiting for a couple of minutes for a simple text to load.I cleared out my storage to see if that would fix the problem, but that didn't work. Someone suggested a factory reset, so after a lot of contemplating, I backed everything up onto my HTC Backup Account (Linked with Google Drive) and went for it.Normally, after a factory reset, the setup screen should ask you, "How do you want to set up your phone?" Or something along those lines, and one of those options should be to restore from a backup. The name of this screen should be "Set up your phone" at the top.After my reset, I was just taken to "Setup Wizard", which gave me no option to restore from a backup, but only let me put in a Google account and gave me the option of restoring my contacts.
ALL of my important data is on that backup, and I have nothing on my phone right now.I've tried connecting with my Google and HTC Accounts, but there is still no option to restore from those backups.I've tried, through the HTC Backup App, to restore, but the option to restore from backup is greyed out because "you have already completed backup or restore on this phone".I'm extremely frustrated and frantic to get my data back. Without that backup/restore I have to reinstall every single app by hand, reorganize everything I had, and even somehow get a couple of contacts back, since the Setup Wizard's contact restoring didn't seem to be up to date. Even in doing so I would still be missing a huge chunk of my phone.Is there anything I can do? Why is my phone showing me the Setup Wizard instead of the "Set up your phone" screen?I have the 32 GB HTC One with Verizon, and the phone was purchased September 2013.

I am currently rooted, but I have a habit of reformatting my phone every 1-2 months to keep things fresh. Factory reset under settings while rooted? It's just so much faster and simpler that way if we can.

I have a Blackberry Tour with the new 5.0 from VZW on it. I want to reset the phone to the factory out of the box settings. I can't figure out how to do it. I found the instructions for the 4.7 OS but the steps are not the same. I don't want to use BBSak or anything. There has to be a way just using the phone, right?

So about a week ago my phone dies and I put it on the charger... like 60 secs later I try and start it back up. I was also working on my laptop and used one hand to start the device. Once it booted back up it was factory reset. Asking me to set up my phone... I'll my pics and music were gone.
I may have been pressing the vol up or down while holding the power button because I was using one hand and I can see how easy that can happen but I doubt I went through all the steps to factory reset w/o knowing it.

Since running the update to lollipop, videos I have loaded from my computer or downloaded are lagging. The audio plays at normal speed but the video.is about 5-7 seconds behind on every single video
I have run the repair from the computer through the Sony pc companion, reset to factory default and ran the manual restart by pressing down the yellow button next to the micro sim but still lags.
