I was wondering if anyone has come across the following

Powered off Google/Samsung Nexus S

Upon powering on, the following screen appears

"Please enter your passphrase then click "next".

Upon entering an incorrect passphrase, the following screen appears

Whisper Systems Beta

Incorrect Passphrase

Try Again? Reset?

Selecting 'Reset' indicates that if you continue, the phone will be wiped.

A search on Google indicates WhisperSystems was run by a 'Moxie Marlinspike', and produced something called WhisperCore, a full device encryption product for the Nexus One and Nexus S.

Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks,

Berntsson

you are right, the phone is encrypted

I have tried this on a GNexus, it is exactly what you described

Thank you sir. I've been reading up on Whisper YAFFS…not looking good.
