I had to encrypt my SC card for work security & have since gotten a new phone. I am unable to see the photos & videos on the SC card now. The old phone has been decrypted & reincrypted both with and without the card in place. The phone still shows the # of photos in the folder but when you open the folder it shows only gray squares rather than the images. When I tap on the individual squares I get a message that says "unable to load photo".

I've done some reading & am gathering the encrypting is irreversable but am hoping someone out there knows something I'm not finding. Of course there are irreplacable photos & videos on that card.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I'm pretty sure that you have to decrypt the SDCard on the same phone that it was encrypted on. If you no longer have access to that phone I think you're out of luck.

I have decrypted it on the original phone with no success. I'm really thinking all these photos are gone. All 1730 of them I'm just sickened. A very important lesson has been learned though....back anything that means something to you up. I know better than this.

I have the Note 2 and encrypted my device because of work email. I am having the same problem as you since I actually reset my device this morning. Sad. I found an forum before the reset that mentioned something to download to decrypt the sd card....but cant find it right now. I just wanted to let you know that there is (apparently) a way to regain the sd card access.

Im keeping my fingers crossed. I have alot of pics as well.

I think this is an interesting thread and I think there might be a solution. I was wondering if maybe truecrypt would work to decyrpt it. Truecrypt uses many different types of algorithms to encrpyt data. I was wondering what of algorithm the galaxy uses, probably something like AES. If so, then i see no reason why you wouldn't be able to mount your SD card to your computer and recover your pictures. That's actually what I was doing now was researching to see if it was possible to do this as i was preparing to encrypt my device
