Unable to encrypt device after fresh install

  • /e/ version: e-0.8-o-2020041649925-dev-j5nlte
  • Device model: Samsung J500FN
  • When it started to occur: right after a fresh install
  • Reproducible with the last /e/ version: Yes
  • Reproducible with LineageOS: Device not supported

Summary

After a fresh install of e-0.8 I can't encrypt the device in Settings > Security > Encrypt : the smartphone just restart and nothing is encrypted

  • The bug concerns security
  • The bug concerns privacy

Solutions

Go into TWRP > Wipe > Advanced Wipe > select Data > Repair or Change File System > Resize File System > swipe to confirm. Reboot into the system and try to encrypt again, this time it will work.
