Dear Experts,
I have encountered a situation, I work in a place where to gain email access to mobile phone require their administrative control, requiring mobile to encrypt. I have an LG G3 LS990 which contains a marshmallow ROM, Yesterday my mobile stated to behave abnormally, Upon restarting logo screen was stucked for hours, as TWRP was installed in my phone and I had ROM which I installed 1 year back and was working fine. But upon flashing the same ROM, It went same as previous one. However upon finishing it displayed a message of "encrypting" it has been 5-6 hours there has been no progress at all.
I did everything from advance wipe erasing and formatting to factory reset before installing ROM.
Current situation is that notification LED is flashing and it displays "encrypting" for hours.
How do I resolve that? My phone was previously encrypted before formatting and flashing a new ROM.
Please Help.

I've left my phone with 60% charge yesterday night.When I woke up the battery was at 0%.I charged it to 100%, rebooted and the phone was stuck at LG loading screen.I got CM11 nightly 26.
Then I restored 2 diff nandroid backups after a full wipe.It did not work and I finally decided to use lg mobile support tool.It successfully downloads, installs the firmware but somehow the phone is stuck at bootanimation.
I've tried to reinstall USB drivers; flashed the KDZ about 5 times now and I really am hopeless.
I haven't dropped my phone; haven't done any physical damage to it and as far as I know if it was just corrupt internal storage I could get over the problem by wiping the partitions.What could be causing this problem?
Weird part is; when this happened I wouldn't even get to see CM boot animation but after attempting to unbrick the phone with mobile support tool, I got to see the bootanimation but it didn't boot (waited approx 30 mins)
Has anyone faced such annoying brick before? What could be causing it? Any solutions/recommendations?
EDIT : According to logs the s/w upgrade completes successfully.No errors nothing, but the phone won't go thru the boot animation.
Mobile support tool .KDZ flashing logs
EDIT2[SOLVED] : Seems like I've found the issue and solved it.The O/S crashed somehow during the night; damaging the TWRP date file(s).As specified in this post (under warning title) it led to a softbrick which can only be recovered after flashing a firmware and wiping data/cache partitions afterwards.I actually had TWRP 6.3.0 and was made by a different user but issue seems to persist.Guess I'll stick with CWM.
I hope this helps someone if they face the same issue later on.
Hi,
I've got XT1068, updated to 6.0 Marshmallow. In the past, I got it FDE (full disk encrypted).
Few days ago I unlocked my bootloader to gain root access on my phone using http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/simplified-modifying-boot-img-t3317605
everything went as expected, but by unlocking it wiped all userdata, so I wanted to re-encrypt the phone (and the external SD especially). But now, encryption fails, telling me "encryption fails, you have to reset your phone" each time I start the encryption, ending in a userdata-wipe.
So I thought about going back to stock fw.
After locking the bootloader and applying stock 6.0 FW, I tried again to encrypt the phone, but I am still unable to do so.
Can someone help me giving some suggestions, how I can fix that behavior and (mainly) how to get some errors/debug shown?
When selecting "encrypt now", the green android symbol with black background is shown for 5seconds, then the phone reboots, shows the bootscreen with the M, then it restarts again (after ~30minute) and shows after another 20seconds the message that something went wrong encrypting.
Ok it seems that I found out the problem in my case by myself.
Instead of using mfastboot.exe -w to delete the data and cache partition, I used recovery mode to delete userdata. I did it twice, since the first run, returns some errors.
After reset, I started the phone and got the fresh-install screen. I skipped mobile and wifi networking and did not entered google account details. Then I restarted the phone and waited for ~5minutes and tried to encrypt - everything works. Everytime I started encryption without waiting for some time it failed.
I hope I can save someone else some time, since factory reset takes ~15minutes each time you do it.
Hi All,
Sorry if this is asked before. I have a new Note 5 unlocked. I turned it on yesterday and started using it. Late at night, its screen froze. I tried pressing Power+Volume_Down buttons to restart the phone. The phone restarted but the the screen was black. Only the notification light was on (blue).
In the morning, the light was still on and the phone was froze. I tried restarting it and I succeeded it. Then I realized the phone was very, I mean veeeery slow. By the time, a firmware update notification popped up. I believe it was Marsmallow update. I hit the yes button. The phone started the update and was stuck at %24. Then it restarted itself. The update process starts over and when it reaches %24, it starts over.
This happened before with my note 4 when I tried to root it. This phone is brand new and is not rooted. However, I transferred my Google profile but I did not select to download my previous apps. So, I don't think it is rooting issue but stucking at the same percentage makes me nervous.
I tried to get into recovery mode but the button combination does not work at all. So I can neither factory reset nor clear the cahe partition. When I press Volume_Down+Home+Power buttons, a custom rom download screen appears but Volume_Up+Home+Power buttons do not work at all. I cannot shut off the phone. It constantly restarts itself, starts the update, fails at %24 and starts the process over again.
What might be the problem? How can I fix this?
Regards
Hi,
Try flashing some stockfirmware via Odin (ideally something of the same android version i.e. lollipop/marshmallow). Once it's installed you should be able to access recovery from which I strongly recommend clearing your cache afterwards as you've already suggested. If you are not worried about loosing any data, then flash new firmware that is inclusive of BL/CP/CSC files too (each one has a category for such in Odin). With the latter, by all means flash marshmallow etc. :good:

Hi there,
I have a Moto G 2 (2014) that I use as a secondary phone and yesterday my phones started to act weird so I decided to reboot it, upon rebooting phone is completely unusable. There is no way to browse through apps or do anything at all as every single app crashes almost immediately. Even the system apps crash constantly.
I thought that factory reset will solve the issue but I can't access it through phone so I tried to use recovery option to reset it to the factory settings without any luck. Bootloader is unlocked with status 3, but there is no way to flash anything, custom rom or recovery. I have followed the steps to flash the recovery from HERE without any luck. Booting the recovery through fastboot gets me through to TWRP or CWM but I can't perform any operation as any wipe command results in error 5.
Erasing through fastboot doesn't do anything either, although shows that operation has succeed when I boot I am greeted with same state I left the phone in, with exact apps I left open etc.
I have even unplugged the battery and left it for few hours to drain the energy from the board without any luck!
Now I was wondering whether it is some sort of memory issue? I never had any issues with the phone it was working well until one day it just sort of died.
Short version
Phone boots - Every app crashes (even system apps)
Unlocked Bootloader
No way to flash or wipe anything
Can boot to custom recovery through fastboot but that's about it (can't perform any operation, constant Error 5)
When wiping through fastboot device still has the old data even the apps that I had open when it crashed.
Sounds like data/internal storage partition is corrupted. Can you access internal storage via mtp on PC?
Many phones were saved by flashing stock ROM, especially partition table/gpt.bin.
Try flashing whole stock ROM, step by step. You can find files and Howto here on xda.
This will reset your phone! Good luck!
Hello there.
I have a Huawei P9 (EVA-L09) with an unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM.
Since a few days I started experiencing something completely weird.
Every time I happen to turn off my phone (often only because the phone had gotten quite warm and I want it to cool down then) I then land in the boot animation and get stuck there. After forcefully rebooting the phone from there (about half of an hour) I held the Volume Up key for three seconds during the warning screen and eRecovery told me about the Data Partition to be badly damaged and it would be recommended to recover it.
There are two ways I can do from here (and also did):
First way is to let it recover using eRecovery, connect to my wireless connection, however the phone always tells me that there was a problem getting the package info for my phone. (Does Huawei stopped supporting the P9 eventually?)
The second way is to run TWRP and reinstall the custom ROM (In my case RROS 5.8.5 for my P9) and to never turn my phone off again. However this isn't always possible to keep it on since it also could happen that I'm not at home and my battery suddenly died.
Installing the stock ROM (or a custom ROM based on a stock ROM) however doesn't work. The stock ROM itself simply won't get installed, neither over the dload method or TWRP or fastboot and a custom ROM based on the stock ROM results in having my phone simply getting a black screen when locking it and then I need to reboot it to use it again.
What can I do? Could it be that my flash memory could be corrupted or something could have happened with one of the partitions of the phone?
Greetings.
EDIT: I managed to install a stock firmware using this link right here.
After the stock firmware was installed, doing a factory reset and wiping the cache every problem I mentioned above this edit vanished.
