So this is almost the best phone in existence, except for one thing. It cannot be encrypted using the normal procedure. Choosing the encryption option simply restarts the phone. I have tried unrooting my phone then encrypting, I had the same issue. This same issue happened with MoFo'ed images before we had bootloader unlock. We got around it by loading an unrooted image, setting it up enough to encrypt the phone, then reloading the rooted image with MoFo root. Does anyone know if this could work again? Does anyone know if their is a way to "side encrypt" the phone by connecting it to a computer? I am currently running CM 12.1 with the newest update. Thanks for the help!

I decided to try out rooting my device using superoneclick on Friday, then I also manually installed the latest OTA update yesterday. And now my device is not happy. Before all this, the thing was solid, has never once crashed or rebooted on me. In the last 24 hours, I've had to remove the battery about 10 times so far, as it has locked up completely. Seems something is off with GPS, as using geo-location related functions from within apps seems to cause this. The bootloader is still locked, and I haven't installed any recovery images or anything like that, just rooted and updated using the update.zip method, but something has not gone well.
So, my question is, how can I restore everything back to how it was? I want stock, 100% unfucked-with everything back in the device. Factory wipe hasn't helped, and hasn't removed root (which surprised me, but seems obvious now I think about it). I have a copy of the Nexus One FRG83 system image (73.9mb) from HTC, but don't know how to install it. Once I install this, I will update using the ota updates, and try root again.
What do I do?
Read my signature.
Rename the the system image to PASSIMG.zip. Boot into the bootloader and it should detect it automatically. Update, restart, done.
Thanks guys/
I have a 1st gen motoX that I rooted ages ago with slapmymoto/pwnmymoto. It's stock, never messed with the bootloader. Never changed the ROM, it's running stock android 4.4.
Got a new job and requires encryption. If I try to encrypt it, will I break my phone? Alternatively, will it even work to encrypt it?
I've searched and see some details for other phones, but couldn't find this in my situation. If it's been asked/answered, my apologies.
Thanks so much for the help!:good:
You should be fine. It only really encrypts /data, anyway.
So I have been reading around and it seems Lollipop will not encrypt with a rooted system image for the Droid Turbo. It simply gives a blank screen and you have to restart the Phone. I have also seen that if you downgrade to 4.4.4, encrypt, upgrade to 5.1 then you will have rooted Lollipop on the Droid Turbo with encryption. If your an encryption nut like I am, or someone who needs encryption for work, this should be what your looking for. The first step is to go back to unrooted 4.4.4 Kit Kat, I used the steps in this guide.

It worked like a charm. as soon as the flash was complete I went to recovery and factory reset. No way around this part, make sure you back up. I then booted into my phone, set up my gmail account and put my phone into flight mode to kill any signals and updates. I then encrypted it. After that I followed the instructions on Computerfreek274's post and image.

Seemed to work perfectly, it picked everything up and recognized it as encrypted. Yay for end user security! Thanks to everyone who makes this possible!
So you can upgrade system files with an encrypted device? Just how much of the phone is encrypted?
Unless I miss my guess, it looks like the whole thing, except the bootloader, gets encrypted. But you can upgrade the image of an encrypted device.
Hi all, I was running a CM ROM on my Droid Turbo and recently flashed back to stock using a backup I created with TWRP, because I was tired of not having GPS capabilities.
Now that I’m running stock (still rooted), I’ve been getting a notification to do an OTA update. When I allow the update to install, it restarts my phone and sends me straight to the TWRP recovery and does nothing else. Rebooting gets me stuck in a loop where it keeps sending me to recovery. Clearing out my cache got me out of the loop but after a day or so, the annoying install message comes back.
I noticed an error message when I looked at the log screen in TWRP. As best I can transcribe it, it says:
Package expects build fingerprint of motorola/quark_verizon/quark:5.1/SU4TL-44/44:user/release-keys or Motorola/quark…. ; this device has Motorola/omni_quark/quark:5.1.1/LYZ28E/1:eng/test-keys
Does anyone have any idea what’s going on with my phone – why I can’t take the OTA? Any advice on how to fix the problem or get this stupid upgrade notification to go away? The notification takes over the device every time you unlock the screen so it’s driving me crazy.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I think you need stock recovery and bootloader.
GPS issues have long been solved, using the "clear modem" file. You sent back to stock for nothing.
If you really want SUTL-49 there's plenty of downloads to manually flash it. You don't need the OTA.
Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to stick with stock now. Have been enjoying the Motorola features like the hands-free driving thing and I wasn't seeing any advantage running CM anymore. Can I flash SUTL-49 using TWRP or do I have to hook to a PC and use ADB?

You can flash it with TWRP from here:

Hi all,
I've rooted my device a few months ago. Unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and installed magisk. After that I have removed root because I couldn't use any payment or banking applications. Now my device heats up everytime i play games like pubg or CODM and getting lag. Also there is sound issue while calling. People can hear my background noise but cannot hear what i'm saying. I don't know if it's related to the rooting but I want to revert back to the factory settings. Can anyone help me do that? Downloading the firmware file from ASUS website and flashing the update will reset my recovery? I could not find anything from the net.
Yes you can roll it fully back to factory. Doing a RAW flash and re-locking BL is probably the easiest way, and then upgrading to the ROM you need via the official way.
Banking/payment apps can be handled with root however even if tricky, so you could probably have kept your root, but that's a different topic...
