Encryption/decryption on custom ROM ? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hey there !
I tried to enable encrypiton on multiple lineageos based ROMs, (namely crdroid, Corvus and stock LOS), only for the phone to display "unsuccessful decryption" on the second reboot.
Phone works fine after encryption (first restart), but won't be able to boot if restarted.
Is that a known issue ? What is the cause ?
Is there a known workaround ?

WiFI Not Working?!

Hi,,I recently flashed MAGISK SU on my phone..After that WiFi is not at all working even if I keep my WiFi on ,,The WiFi button stays off even when i tried to switch it ON ??
I'm on OOS 4.1.3. running Nougat 7.1.1. ,Bootloader Unlocked and Custom Recovery Installed..I tried to root my phone and succeded in flashing Magisk 12.0 ,but after that it got into bootloop and i tried some known ways and get back the phone to Normal Level.
Since then I face severe lag in Phone,WiFi not working,Apps opening very slowly like that..
What may be the problem ?? Is it with Magisk or something Else..I run TWRP 3.0.4.1
Regards
VAETTA
hi vettayyan , the problem may occur when magisk conflicts with the system . backup your data , try formatting and flashing the rom . this time donot flash magisk . the phone should connect to wifi .

Nougat roms say: Encryption failed - on first boot

Hi!
I cannot use any 7.1 roms, because on the first boot, they say that the encryption failed ( most of the time in chinese) and i need to reset the device. If i hit reset, the same screen will appear again. I'm trying installing different firmvares from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/how-to/firmwares-t3682965 with no luck so far. Do you have any idea, what could solve the problem?
I always wipe everything before the new firmware and i reflash the rom.
Try changing recovery that should help, i have used Orangefox recovery R8.2 and was able to flash various Nougat based MIUI ROMs and Oreo ROMs(i have not tried any custom ROM based on Nougat than MIUI)

No mobile data connection on Android 10

Hi,
I tried the March versions of Havoc 3.3 (Havoc-OS-v3.3-20200306-santoni-Official) , DerpFest, Colt OS v5.7 and I have not been able to activate the mobile data in any version. Clean install on every OS installation. LTE Band name : TD 2600 b 38.
Has anyone else encountered such problems?
Have you checked with APN? check if they are proper or set up one manually.
Is IMEI lost? if so then that is the culprit. hope you have persist backup.
Contact your network carrier and see if mobile data services is turned on.
@ metelhammer ......THX for replay. I've checked IMEI,APN- all ok .This is what i did.... All installs are clean (fw48, orangefox recovery OrangeFox-R10.1_02, never dirty, never restore from google backup). Initial setup Havoc 2.5... all ok, moved to Havoc v2.9... all ok then Havoc v3.3.... no data (same whit derpfest, colt os) .... reverted back to havoc v2.9 and everything is okay except for one annoying startup message "vendor image mismatch..." but it doesn't bother me and I don't know how to make it disappear.

I am not sure how to resolve this issue but looks like you may need to flash latest vendor to get rid of this issue, please check and confirm before flashing.

I think the problem is your vendor image, i'm also facing the same problem in pie and also Q ROM even in miui ROM 11
what I do is reflash firmware from this site https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/ choose the latest global one v048
this is my step
1. clean flash ROM
2. update your firmware from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/
3. boot to system
4. reboot to recovery
5. reflash firmware v047 from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/how-to/firmwares-redmi-4x-t3856430
6. Boot to system
7. reboot to recovery and reflash again v048
8. boot system
Hope that help

Actually no need i removed it.
So wiping vendor is in advanced wipe area in twrp. Dont reboot after it.
Then flash the image like i said.
Then flash the dm verity thing then flash the rom.zip

@Haridhayal i did installed it to my phone. version 5.2 actually. but its lagging, its overheating than stock rom while gaming. And mainly it crashes whenever i try to add security lock neither of the security option works . and i played call of duty mobile for some time and it quit automatically after some like 10 to 15 min. also the camera UI is terrible altho it captured well. and my phone did support fast charging on stock rom which now doesnot supported by project sakura. it takes almost 4-5 hours to get fully charged. what the hell happened with that?

So it worked? It booted?
Yes, some features arent supported for some custom ROMs. Keep in mind custom ROMS won't perform like stock. Stock ROMS are made by people with the correct tools and 100% knowledge about the specific phone you are using sooooo....

(SOLVED) Unable to flash GSI roms on A600FN (Android 10)

The only GSI rom that used to work on my phone was Resurrection Remix Q (8.6.5). Now none of them work. When I flash Android 10 GSIs (A/B A64 vndklite ofc) they only get to the loading screen and they stay there. Android 11 roms don't even boot up. Is there any way to get GSI roms working? FYI, I tried everything (well, almost) to make it work. I tried booting with and without Magisk, I tried flashing with and without GAPPS, I even flashed an ARM64 Treble vendor, and none of it works.
Edit: I'm gonna try flashing a stock Android 11 vendor. I'm gonna keep y'all up to date.
Edit 2: It worked. I managed to install dotOS R 5.2 along with Magisk 24.3 with absolutely no issues.
are there any bugs on gsi rom what works and what doesnt work
