Need urgent help for the following problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (int. model), running on Android 4.1.2
- I have set the SD card encryption on my S3 where I coose the 'Full encryption' option after setting a password for the lock screen. Encryption went well. No problems. so far.
- I wanted to deactivate the password protection for lock for a while. But when the SD card is decrypted, the other lock options are greyed out. So I simply unmounted (over Android) my SD card and chose swipe as lock screen option. So far so good.
- After a while I restarted my phone and Android mounted the SD card but... With no encryption. nothing. And my files are not accessible again. They are listed but the content is obviously still encrypted and Android does not know what to do with it.
I tried to set the same password for locking but the problem is Android does not understand that it is encrypted and does not try to decrypt it.
Does anyone any idea or know tools to save the encrypted content? Any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks!
