Windows 10: Editing recordings from samsung Smart TV (SRF format) Discus and support Editing recordings from samsung Smart TV (SRF format) in Windows 10 Software and Apps to solve the problem; Hello! Excuse me if this is not the right place to ask, but I bet on your experience, and have nothing to lose. DeSTRoi - Decrypt Samsung TV Recordings is a free program that lets you download movie files directly from your TV by FTP and decrypt them. The program has support for all Samsung video formats such as SRF and TS.
I have recently encrypted my S3 to allow me to get work emails, but I have now decided against this as it has caused the phone to run like a dog. When I attempt to decrypt the device it says I need to set a password of 6 characters with at least one number, however when I go to the lock screen settings menu password is not an option. I have deleted the email account and I am not sure what to try next. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Here is a last ditch solution if you get nothing better:
If you know how to use John The Ripper then all you have to do is pull all of the files off of your hard drive, and use JTR to crack the password (depending on the length of the key, this could take days or even weeks). Then you can make an image file of your hard drive and flash your device using a flashing tool.
Besides that, I'm sure there is no way to disable the encryption without the key. Really your only option at that point is to get any files off of it that it will allow you to, and then do a factory reset.
As far as I know, reverting the android encryption is impossible, you will have to backup your information and perform a factory reset.

It is possible to decrypt an android. I am doing it right now. I had to turn off the maas360 device admin using the app itself: you can't do it from the device admin screen. Once I did that, I had the decrypt option. The decrypt worked fine for the phone, and I am doing the sd card now. I still only have the password option for the lock screen, but hoping this sd card decrypt gives opens the other options. I have a Verizon G S4 running 4.4.1.

I have a Samsung Smart TV on which I can record and playback TV and radio programmes without problems, using an attached portable HDD. However I cannot access the recordings on my PC. When I try to load the HDD I am told to format the drive because the file system cannot be accessed. Principally, I record the BBC Long Wave Morning Service via the Freesat connection, and I would like to be able to transfer the programmes on to a SD card/CD, to be listened to when convenient. Any ideas? Denis Wilkinson, by email
There are easier ways to record BBC radio channels for later playback; if you are using a PC I suggest a free Internet Radio program called RadioSure (www.radiosure.com), which records channels in all popular formats, including mp3, or if you are using an Android device, try an app called TuneIn Radio, free from Google Play.
Back to your Samsung TV, and I am afraid that it is all bad news. There are several reasons you can’t replay recordings on your PC. Firstly the HDD is formatted using the XFS filing system, used by Linux, possibly because the TV’s built-in PVR is Linux based. Windows can read the contents of the drive with suitable software, but that wouldn’t solve the problem. Even if you could copy the recordings to your PC they would still be unreadable as they are encrypted. Whilst decryption is theoretically possible, they are further protected for Digital Rights Management (DRM) purposes.
Samsung isn’t alone in this though some smart TV and PVR manufacturers do allow recordings of some free-to-air (FTA) channels to be playable on a PC but they are in the minority. I doubt that it’s done to make life difficult for users. You have to remember that products like these are made for world markets and sold in countries where there are large variations broadcaster’s licensing agreements, copyright restrictions and local censorship laws. It would be very difficult for manufacturers to accommodate every possible variation so they take the easy way out by only allowing recordings to be replayed on the device they were made on.
