A Final Plea For Help Before Tossing Phone.... Please

Hi peeps, short background story first....HTC Sensation was running jelly bean.....you know how it is...after a while you get bored so i installed CM11 ... after trying to sort the battery drain issues i was having i thought id go back to jelly bean until i found CM12 for sensation and thought id give it a go......this is now where my problem started...installed the rom and gapps .. phone booted past the HTC screen..then the little blue cyanogenmod man thing....then i got the android starting message box.....then i got a message "Encryption Unsuccessful" reboot phone and do a factory reset.....ok.

Now whatever i do i cant get into recovery tool... if i just reboot phone it goes to the Encryption Unsuccessful message....if i go into recovery mode i can get a few different results as follows...

1. changing to fastboot boots the phone to Encryption error
2. recovery tries to start up 4ext recovery tool...but all i get is a 4ext screen saying booting 0...1....0...1....0...1....0 etc forever until i take the battery out
3. as above with the SD card removed i get booting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9....etc until i take the battery out
4. factory reset does the same as 2 and 3

dead phone??? or fixable.... please help!

thanks

Looking for a custom rom without the extra step >>> swipe before pattern

hi Guys,


i am still on CM11 because for me the Pattern lockscreen is perfect

some poeple know this issue

Quote:

The new lock screen makes it even slower to unlock your phone, and there's no option to remove the extra step. The first screen now makes you swipe up to go to the normal unlock screen (or other directions for the phone or camera). The majority of the time, I don't need either the phone or camera, so the extra step is slowing down the most common action I need to do every single time I want to use the phone. This needs an option setting so it can be disabled.

So i have a question:

Is there any Custom Rom where i can disable this annoying option ? I like tu upgrade to CM12 but i am not sure if i have to swipe before unlock my phone.


Thanks

S6 Camera Sensor exchange / repair Before Sony, now Samsung ?

I got just my Sony Sensor exchanged to Samsung Sensor due to Camera Failure. The Sony snesor just stopped Focusing . To Focus I had to shake the camera or to pooint upwards, then it started to focus again, when pointing downwards.

Samsung does not want to exchange my camera to a sony camera, because they say because of warranty I have to accept it. But in my opinion and i nthe opinion of many people here the camera is much worse. Now I was wondering, why they can't just give me back, what I have bought and paid for. While this I still try to figure out at my local store, I am surprised to some other things.
I only read of people, that they got thei sony camera exchanged to samsung/isocell. Not the other way.
I also realized, that there have been some sold offs of the samsung galaxy s6, like mine with the sony sensor.
I s it possible, that Samsung already knew, that the sony sensors have some kind of failure and they wanted to get rid of the sony module phones. And if the people realize failure, they just exchange?

Because of that I want to know, how many people with camera problems, who exchange then, have which sensor here.

Phone tinkered with before, but not rooted. Need info on how to root it properly

Greetings! I need assistance rooting an LG Optimus F60 that has been tinkered with before. What I mean is, I had a guy unlock my phone since I switched carriers, and if I recall correctly( though not very sure) he used a few apps like kingroot to gain permission to unlock the device. He did not root the phone though, and I want to root it now(several months later).

The problem I stumble upon is that flashing SuperSU zips did not work. I have the app, but the binaries could not be pushed. I have tried manually pushing the binaries, but I was denied access...

I hope someone understands my problem and is able to help. I am more of a PC tinkering guy, never got into "hardcore" android customization, but I would really like to install apps on my sd card.
Thank you for reading, It should be solvable, and also sorry if my issue is common and/or has been posted before, I tried searching, but couldn't find anything(maybe I did not search good enough, sorry!)
