My phone was sitting on my desk, and when I picked it up I got the screen stating that I had to enter my password to decrypt storage. I entered it, and I got a message that my password was correct, but my data was corrupted. It said I had to do a factory reset, so I did, but then after it just brought up that same screen asking for the password to decrypt again. I've done it several times, and it's not working, it brings me right to that screen again asking for a pw to decrypt.



Is this thing a brick?

If you can get into recovery, you should be able to re-flash the stock ROM or a new one.
