Basically, if enabling encryption isn’t working, run “adb logcat” on your computer and look for ” E\/Cryptfs ( 1890): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Cannot encrypt in place.” if you see that, you’re going to need to boot into recovery and ” adb shell” before finding what block device \/data is (check the output of “mount”) and then check the number of blocks it is in \/proc\/partitions before running mkfs.ext4 on it but with a device size of a few kb less than the device (I think I picked 16kb less. After doing that, everything “just worked”.<\/p>\n
how do I deal with OTA updates? Quite easily – copy the zip to the SD card and install from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
