Well, I just had the oddest thing by far happen to me. After my little situation with getting my phone operational again I read up a bit more on rooting and felt comfortable enough go back. Been running Cyanogenmod for mmm 1 month and a half and it's been nice messing around a bit deeper with it. Though I just had the oddest thing ever happen to me. The phone just a few minutes ago crashed, rebooted, then said it failed at encrypting itself. Now thank god I have like 5 backups on the go and I just restored it as I speak. I have no clue why it did this. Any reasoning for this action?
