Disk Encryption stuck on i.mx6

[anandmistryk]

Hi,

we are facing a problem where the android disk encryption gets stuck while encrypting the /data partition. It gets stuck after encrypting around 90k-180k blocks. We tried this using command line cryptsetup and dd utility, still have the same results.

Did anyone face the same problem?

COMMANDS

==========

$ cryptsetup create mmcblk2p1_crypted --verbose --cipher "aes-cbc-essiv:sha256" --key-file /data/enc_key.bin --keyfile-size 16 --key-size 128 /dev/block/mmcblk2p1

$ dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk2p1 of=/dev/mapper/mmcblk2p1_crypted

## never comes out from this dd call

OUR Setup

========

board: nitrogen6_max

android version: boundary-imx-kk4.4.3_2.0.0-ga

Thanks and Regards,

Anand Mistry

Hi CarlosCasillas​,

This post is the follow-up of this one to which I already answered:

can't encrypt on android port of Nitrogen6_max

Yes encryption isn't supported in our KitKat release, it has been ported and tested on Marshmallow, please use the latter.

anandmistry​, please close one of the two threads, no need to keep them both open.

Regards,

Gary
