How To Unencrypt Sd Card
Ok this wasn't the brightest thing in the world to do. I encrypted my SD card on my old phone. I bought a new phone, returned my old one to factory settings before I decrypted my SD card. I have the key that I used to encrypt it but I can't decrypt it on either the old phone or the new one. What do I do?
The phone that I have is a Note 4 not encrypted Running version 4.4.4. Aiseesoft fonetrans 9.0.8 multilingual solutions. I encrypted the SD card and the phone on a Note 3 running version 4.4.2 with the same key. I removed the encryption off of the Note 3 (phone) and returned it to factory settings. It does not allow me to de-encrypt the SD card that was in it. It doesn't recognize that the SD card is encrypted. So all of those files are inaccessible. Is there a way that I can de-encrypt the SD card without formatting it and losing all of the data?

If your card was encrypted before the wipe, it will not retrieve the data in the new partition. This is a security feature to prevent your files being accessed by unauthorized users. If you don't have a backup of your files, then there is nothing you can do. You'll need to reformat the card before you can use it again.
Ok I have seen many people ask this question, and aside from the generic 'reformat you sd card responce' I have not found any solutions to the following problem: 'A media card has been inserted that contains encrypted content which will be unaccessible by this device. Please place the media card in the original device to access the content.' Security Why you might want to encrypt the SD card on your Galaxy S7 Encrypting the SD card on your new Galaxy S7 is easy to do, but you need to know the details before you do it.
