I want to reset my phone but when I click on reset it says something about my Sd card being incrypted. is there a way to unincrypt it so my card doesn't lock up?

I think you need to decrypt ur SD card before your phone... or you'll lose the data

SD card cannot be decrypted. You have to copy all your SD card data to different storage or computer than format SD card and transfer data back. So before reseting your phone copy SD card data to your computer than format. If your format your phone with encrypted data on SD card, your data on SD card is permanently lost.

err what? Im sure I've decrypted mine prior to phone reflash... there is disable encryption option in storage settings

edit: seems it's gone now.. I don't even see encryption option for SD anymore... so I guess the whole thing is automatically encrypted.. sorry

Encryption option is still there. I know samsung had decryption option but they removed it.

I don't care if I lose the stuff on the card I want the phone to be "out of the box nee" but don't want the SD card to become corrupted.
