Is it possible to extract data from phones internal memory when the phone is protected with a pin and fingerprint lock. I'm asking this to understand if someone can get our data if we lose the phone which is locked with pin and bootloader is also locked.
I've seen that if bootloader is unlocked and TWRP is installed, files from internal memory and sd card can be accessed from TWRP.

welp I may be screwed, but thought I would ask the pros.
I always back up my sdcard personal files, but the media files (music I don't). I have a 128GB card and I am trying to save myself some rebuild time.
I encrypted my external 128gb sd card in android (I have my data backed up thank goodness), but I have full wiped the phone, to install a new rom (full wipe and factory reset).
I have rest the screen password to the same encrypted password, yet when I reboot the phone (installed new rom from separate external sd card since TWRP wont write from an encrypted sd card), the phone is fine, but the card is still being shown as "checking sdcard for errors"
is there any way to restore access to the encrypted card since I full wiped? I know that I can just reformat the card back to fat32, but I really don't want to sit and transfer 100gb of flac files again.
Hi ,
here is my problem:
I wanted to install a new rom , so first i have to unlock my bootlaader .
I do this but before that , i do not back up all my data (yes, i was stupid ...). of course i have a back up of my msg and contact and ...
in my sd card .
After booting from unlock boot loader i see that my phone has been reset and all of my data looses.
The problem is that my sd card encrypted with a password so i can't view its content nor connect it via mass storage to pc
to copy my data.
So is there anyway to restore sd card because i have my sd password ?
I just want to decrypt the sd card or something that i can restore my data in sd card.
Best Regard

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The phone must detect that the sd card is encrypted and ask me to enter password to decrypt it.
But it didn't .
What happened when i encrypt my sd card so every time i power up the phone it detect it ?
Why it cannot detect it now?
of course when i say sd card i mean phone storage.

Your data was erased by the system.and I think you will never find the data again.
Hi
In looking for a way to encrypt the phone and SD card and still be able to view/edit the files on Windows. I'm not looking for the best ever encryption, but rather an invisible encryption that do not limit the use for the person having the encryption password.
The dream scenario is:
Turn on phone and type in encryption password only on boot
Use screen lock as long as phone is on
Being able to use the phone as a 'USB stick' dragging and dropping files in Windows
Being able to dismount the SD card, typing the encryption password and view/edit all files on the card in Windows/other android devices.
Is there any way of doing this, e.g. by using and app and store a similar windows program in a small non-encrypted part of the SD card?
My Z3+ was acting strange after OTA to android 6.0, so decided to repair with PC companion.
I did backup but didn't backed up SD card, at that moment I thought it wouldn't be necessary because repair doesn't delete anything.
And it's true but I completely forgot that my phone was encrypted, also the SD card.
So now I can't use my SD card files. Any one know if I can get encryption key from my backup? I know the unlock password but I suspect it uses another one that was on my old system
Thanks!
Hi,
I used a memory card on my Nokia 4.2 to extent the memory in adoptable mode. Since a repair of my device by Nokia they also did a factory reset which caused that my memory card is not readable by my 4.2 device anymore. I'm asked if I want to format my memory card to get it used. Furthermore, applied to my linux device it's also not mountable.
I think I used the encrypted mode on android but not sure.
Is there a way to get access to my data on this memory card or are they lost? It is clear to me that breaking the encryption is not an option but maybe I can get the key somehow?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
