Encryption unsuccessful random! Need help. Galaxy S3 CM 12.1 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sup guys, so i just had a really strange problem that popped out randomly, i was watching a youtube video and i had to help a person quickly and when i came back just a minute later i saw my phone showing encryption unsuccessfull when i pressed the power button to turn my screen on. Well it said to factory reset my phone, i don't store any important data on my phone anyways so i just went for it, and it restarted went to my TWRP recovery and tried factory reseting it, to no success. It basically failed to access /data/ and other directories and i can't see any files in them through recovery. And so i can't even factory reset it, i can't install a ROM cause the partition is corrupt i assume. How can i "unbrick" this? I was running the good old Temaseks CM 12.1 ROM, has been working fine for a looong time. My PC recognizes the phone but i can't access any data, it just shows that it's connected, odin doesn't recognize it.

Can somebody help me please ? I use my phone alot and it's really important.

[Q] Can't Encrypt Galaxy SIII i9300

Hey,
I'm having trouble encrypting my i9300 device (I need to encrypt my device for work's email)
I've set a good password, and my device is at 100% battery.
Whenever I've tried to encrypt it, it got stuck with the green robot and it seems it doesn't do anything.
I'd even stayed my phone for the night with that green robot, and nothing happened.
I can reboot it, and everything is back to normal... but no encryption.
I've tried to replace my ROM to Stock ROM, and CyanogenMod, and it's the same.
I'm now with Android Revolution HD 22.4.
I've tried to locate errors with adb and logcat, but haven't seen anything that is relevant to the encryption.
Anyone here got the same problem or knows how to fix it?
Thanks,
Adam

Trying to recover a soft Bricked i9000

Hey
So this old i9000 phone came with some Horrible bloatware I wanted to get rid of.
I flashed a stock Rom with Odin, (I've done it many times before on a different i9000)and Wiped Data and Cache afterwards, And 3 different Roms give me this problem:
When the phone finally initializes, Everything keeps Stopping unexpectedly. I've tried to get to enabling ADB to maybe view the logcat but I can't even get to the settings.
I did notice in the recovery mod an error that said something about System/CSC/CEL/system not being accesible (And i'm surprised it's still there after 3 flashes, CEL being the CSC for the bloatware company)
What do I do?
Currently on Stock rom with stock recovery.
Edit:
Okay, I have managed to race through the crashes, Launch the Home app, and enable ADB... so we have that now... "ADB devices" Shows its connected.
Edit2:
They all crash with "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:" Right now Home screen is working but anything i try to run crashes
Edit3: It's like the old Gmail account is HARD CODED to it, What the hell? 3 rom flashes and countless factory reset, The account is still there, I cannot get rid of it.

Bricked rooted Galaxy SII without CWM

Hello, let me describe my problem.
Some months ago i rooted my SGSII with stock rom to remove facebook and other unnecessary apps, but I didn't installed CWM. Yesterday I had a small accident. I dropped my phone on the wet floor and two problems occured. Power button didn't work and phone couldn't connect with network. After having dissasemblied and dried it inside, power button started working, but phone still couldn't connect. So I decided to make a full wipe. And here's come my problem. After wipe my Android 4.1.2 is able to go through initialisation process (language selection, wifi password etc.)
but after this it gets stuck and bootloop occur.
I tried to fix the phone using Odin, but after connecting to computer, it shows that device is unknown and Odin don't see it. I also tried to find way to install CWM via stock recovery, but it's propbably not possible.
Please, help me

What could be wrong with this phone?(Freezing, restarting, doesn't detect carrier)

Ok hello i'm pretty new to this, but I have looked around quite a bit and nothing seems to help. So my friend gave me this Galaxy S6 edge(more specifically the SM-G925I - TCE Mexico (Telcel)). The issue with this phone is that it freezes then restarts randomly and it also doesn't recognize the carrier. It recognizes that theres a sim but the carrier is not recognized and I don't have access to mobile data. The bigger issue at the moment is the crashes though. I already tried resetting to factory defaults, booting in safe mode, wiping the cache and wiping all the data/ factory reset from the recovery menu. I thought it was the OS or something so I installed twrp wiped EVERYTHING(pretty sure I did since when I rebooted twrp told me if I was sure since I had no os installed) and installed the official 7.0 firmware update from sammobile. It was previously 6.0.1 and I thought having a different version might fix the issue. Yet the issue remains, within a few minutes of me using it it freezes, turns off, and reboots. At this stage I might you might think its a hardware issue but when i'm in recovery or download mode it doesn't turn off. Also I decided to leave it charging when I left for work and when I came back it hadn't turned off at all. I checked the uptime and it was at 7 hours and yet within a few minutes of me checking the settings it froze and turned off. I'm not really sure what to do anymore i'll probably take it to a service center to see whats up but I wanted your opinions first. Thanks.

Can't find misc partition in J7 prime recovery option

Hello all,
I have been given a phone(Galaxy J7 prime, SM-G610F) by a friend. It has official android nougat firmware and I believe he has not messed up his phone because he doesn't know much about such things. The complaint is that whenever I switch on the phone, so many services keep stopping and I get those stupid popups. I tried to factory reset the phone from settings menu, but whenever phone resets and comes to normal state, everything is like before. Nothing has been wiped out. All the data and apps are still there. I tried to wipe cache partition and format using recovery, but it says can't find /misc partition and the process fails. Sometimes, I get no command while booting. I flashed stock firware using odin. Even when odin says pass, the phone still starts like before. No new change. I don't understand what is wrong with the phone.
Do you guys have any possible solution to help my poor friend?
