SuperSU: Android Encryption problems (Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly, S4 i9505)



Hello all,

I have recently been asked to use email on my work phone (instead of my preferred web-app option). My device (S4 i9505 running a Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly) was/is rooted but after the (standard) encryption process the phone was stuck on a black screen/bootloop/problem.

This was resolved by re-flashing the CM 12.1 rom using TWRP which booted and the device was encrypted with my work email on the phone. SuperSU is installed but the binary needs to be updated and the phone is saying it's not rooted when checking the root using Root Checker.

I want to reinstall/reinstate SuperSU, but I am wondering if this will freeze the phone again, as it is encrypted. What are the known problems with rooted phones/SuperSU and encryption?


Cheers
