This howto was taken from https://github.com/offensive-security/kali-nethunter/issues/7#issuecomment-57045080 and was reposted for additional visibility.



Go to the Kali Launcher and hit "Shutdown Kali"
Enable USB Debugging on the device



adb shell
su
mv /data/local/userinit.sh /data/local/userinit_old.sh



Reboot the device, try encrypting it and it should work
After encryption is complete renameuserinit_old.sh back to userinit.sh
Reboot
Done! Remember to disable USB debugging when your finished!

Using Kali and google-nexus-tools:


root@localhost:~# nexus-adb shell
shell@hammerhead:/ $ su
root@hammerhead:/ # mv /data/local/userinit.sh /data/local/userinit_old.sh
root@hammerhead:/ # reboot

Or just open a terminal after shutting Kali, and type
su -c mv /data/local/userinit.sh /data/local/userinit_old.sh

mv /data/local/userinit.sh /data/local/userinit_old.sh

keeps telling me theres no such file or directory. I tried manually looking everywhere for userinit.sh file and no luck.. any ideas?

fix-
I just reformatted everything and reinstalled. followed the above steps with no problems.

You may encrypt your device via the settings menu. I am using KitKat, and for me I access the option via:

Settings > Security > Encrypt phone

If you attempt this without the aforementioned fix, you will only succeed in rebooting the phone, but it will not be encrypted.

Hi all,

Now NetBSD supports full disk encryption, but I dont understand the sparse instructions of the installation menu. Any help to set this up for / and swap?

My solution of this problem


go to app in your phone: supersu > settings > unroot
reboot the phone
configuration > security > encrypt
encrypt in progrees > .....%%%%% done
poweroff
go to the recovery mode >>> poweroff >>>( volume down + power ) > recovery
twrp > install supersu ((((((((((( if you delete this apk > redownload it on your phone before this step )
or ( if you have linux system ) : go to settings >> developer options >> turn on USB debugging >> put usb cabel into your computer
$ git clone https://guthub.com/0xFireball/root/_avd
$ cd root_avd
$ adb install SuperSU/common/Superuser.apk )))))))))))) then go to the recovery mode >>> poweroff >>>( volume down + power ) > recovery
twrp > install supersu

install
now you encrypted your phone and have root permissions.
Done.
