So it seems like even after you disable the encryption of sd card it will still remain same. And right now I am just locked out of my files. Anybody know any solution to this?

Hello. I have a major problem with my Xperia E4, it doesn't read SIM anymore. I believe it was caused by device encryption. A few months ago I encrypted my phone, I didn't have SD card at the time. Everything was working ok after it was encrypted. Now I have had an SD card and wanted to encrypt it. So I went again to encryption tool and checked encrypt sd card, after reboot it did ask me for my sim password, then I just left the phone to see later that there's no sim card. I rebooted and same again. I checked this thread: android.stackexchange.com/questions/61422/sim-card-not-detected-after-encrypting-device . Someone had similar issue, except device encryption caused this problem, not sd encryption., he solved it by decrypting the device. I did a factory reset twice and it still doesn't work. The sim card works ok in another phone.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I too have same issue wih my internal memory SD card....I have important data in my memory card
As of right now I don't think there is. It's encrypted specifically for your phone. This is why I went back to 5.1
Good morning folks,
I'm hoping XDADevelopers can assist me with an issue I've brought onto myself past couple days. I'm praying something can be done to recover my files! :crying:
I have an Galaxy S8+, and I encrypted my phone using Android's encryption feature (with a 4 digit pin code), and for some reason it wouldn't allow me to decrypt it. The option remained as 'Encrypt SD Card' via Settings > Lock Screen & Security > Encrypt SD Card, but when you go into it, it said that it couldn't decrypt the device as it needs the same device used to encrypt the SD Card in the first place confused:what? It is the same phone!!!). Burning up the internet trying to find a solution, I came across several forums telling me to do some of the following:
- Change Screen Lock Type to 'None' then try again - Failed
- Backup contents of SD Card onto PC, format SD Card on phone, encrypt SD Card (using 4 digit pin code), copy contents from PC onto SD Card, then decrypt it - Failed
- Wait it out - Failed
- Enable Developer Settings (I always do for the record) and enable 'Stay Awake' / enable USB Debugging, then repeat option 2 - Failed
- Mount / Unmount, reboot, etc. - Failed
When it was encrypted without any files on it, the option was now Settings > Lock Screen & Security > "Decrypt SD Card", so it seemed like an initial error occurred that made the SD Card think it was encrypted from another device,
Now the only copy I have of my files are stored on PC with no way of accessing it :crying:
I haven't formatted the phone yet, and I'm very reluctant to do so in-case i cause further damage.
Right now I'm in a constant loop of trying option 2 in hopes that it suddenly worked and allows me to access the photos! it managed to work once, but couldn't let me open the files from QuickPic app.
My questions are:
Can I recover my files? (from my PC)
Is there a way of forcing the encryption and encrypted files (stored on PC) back ONTO the SD Card after having formatted it?
Is there an app (either on phone or PC), that can force me to enter the 4 digit pin code (which was my phone lock, along with fingerprint scanner).
I'd very much appreciate any time and response regarding this.
Many thanks!

Hi.
I understand that it is unlikely that I will already help the author of the topic. But maybe my situation will be useful to someone else. Faced the same problem as the author. My memory card started to fail. At first, the phone lost her, but was found again after sd card being remounted. Then after some time the phone lost it again and did not see it at all. In this case, my laptop saw the card. I found that the problem is in LOST.DIR. Now the phone began to see the card, but it gave an error that the card was encrypted on another phone ("this sd card cannot be decrypted because it was encrypted on another device") (maybe the problem is that I inserted another card to check if this is a problem with the phone’s hardware). I tried the steps described above and the error reappeared. I tried to format the card and copy only a part of the files from the image and came to the conclusion that the problem is in one bit file in the DCIM/Camera directory. The phone apparently tried to scan the gallery on boot. It received a decryption error and stopped decrypting the rest of the content and just said that the keys are not the same. As a result, with long attempts, I found a broken file and successfully restored all other files.
Hello guys,
My partner changed her SD card without realising the exisiting one was "adopted" as internal storage. All of her photos of our kids are on there. She clicked "forget sd card" at the prompt without realising this makes the SD card essentially useless to recover the data.
Is there any way to recover this data? Obviously the PC does not recognise the SD card as its encrypted, so we cannot pull the photos off that way. The phone asks to format the device so I cannot pull the photos off with a usb cable either.
From what I've read, the phone generates a key for the encryption using the screen unlock pattern. We know what this is, so have a chance of unlocking the SD card as we know what the master key is. The phone is not rooted- as far as I know this changes the encryption on that end, so any attempt to root the phone to get access will not work as the keys will not match anymore. Are there tools to brute force the encryption on the SD card? I would hate to lose the data on this.
Thanks
Hi everybody
I had to wipe my S7 edge due to the pattern not being recognized (known bug) and I would like to know if there is any hope recovering my pictures from my SD using software, when I googled "recover photos encrypted sd Android" the first page is full of software, some form easeus, rescue digital media, Yodot, etc, I even found one that say to just copy the files to a pc, wipe the SD card on phone, copy the files back to SD, encrypt SD and the decrypt and I should have my pictures back, I try this last step as it doesn't require any software but still wondering if any of the software mention will work
thanks
