How to open ENC2 file?
An often recurring problem with Samsung Galaxy Firmware Update is that ENC2 is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that ENC2 files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ENC2 file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Samsung Kies
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Samsung Kies is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Samsung Kies into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file ENC2.
Programs to open ENC2 file
Remember to download programs supporting ENC2 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Samsung Kies with ENC2 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ENC2 file to open in the Samsung Kies application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Samsung Kies application as the default for handling the ENC2 file.
Step 3. Update Samsung Kies to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Samsung Kies program with the Samsung Galaxy Firmware Update file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Samsung Group page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ENC2 file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ENC2 file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ENC2 file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ENC2 file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ENC2 files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ENC2 file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ENC2 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Samsung Group help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ENC2 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the ENC2 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ENC2 file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
