Encryption Failed soft brick Help

[lim0011]

Somewhat unknowing on the rooting, custom ROMs… I have a VerizonS4 rooted and put on Hyperdrive RLS4, everything was working fine. Went to add my corporate email which requiresmy device to be encrypted, so when about doing so… now whenever I boot thephone get a encryption failed message “Perform factory data reset before use.After resetting, try encrypting device again” gives you the option to resetdevice. Once it restarts the samemessage comes up. Have tried
· Wipe data/factory reset
· Wipe cache partition
· Backup and restore
· Wipe dalvik cache
· Fix permissions
· Using Odin3
· Formatting everything…
Noticed in the mounts and storage menu the SD card is notmounted and will not mount. Does anyone have any ideas or seen this issue before. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Lim001, sorry for your troubles sir. I sent you a PM as well but I would start here.

If that does not solve your problems let us know and we can try from there, however, I imagine this will get you up and running again.
