Help! decrypt sd card using other cell phone

[Hadron]

hi, i have same issue my phones mainboard died, does it mean i have to trash card and loss all the data?

why these morons in samsung dont store keys in cloud? as apple does? so once i auth via samsung cloud card will be decrypted in new phone? is that matrix? do i really lost everything? thanks

You are discussing something different here, i.e. how Apple handle encryption for iCloud backups. Apple devices don't have SD cards, so the question you are facing here doesn't arise, and presumably you don't have a cloud backup of your SD content (which would be analogous to what you are comparing to) or else the problem would be soluble.

And yeah, SD cards are more prone to failure than phone mainboards. And if the phone is lost or stolen you also lose the card. So I never regard data on SD as safe.

only phone is dead, SD card is OK.

So you got an encrypted SD, and say you got a backup of the encryption key. There's the next problem. How are you going to decrypt it? Remember the encryption key is only valid for the Samsung phone that generated it.

"as apple does?"

...and of course iPhones do not take SD cards, or have any removable storage at all. Also iOS encryption keys are only valid for the particular iPhone or iPad that generated them, just like Android.

Sd cards fail too.... As i found out the hard way

yes they do, stop this pointless comments, i said card is 100% ok just encrypted.

Yup, it's 100% securely encrypted. Why do you think the feds and govt don't like this stuff?

You're locked out, just as the FBI, CIA, etc.would be locked out from your data.
