That is true that you need to have the same cipher/format. cryptsetup by default uses that same cipher I believe. Run the following command on both your corrupted partition and the loop device to make sure the non-corrupted bytes are the same, namely the cipher name and cipher mode. # dd if=/dev/sda3 bs=1 count=104 | hexdump -C AND THE FOLLOWING FOR THE LOOP DEVICE # dd if=/dev/loop0 bs=1 count=104 | hexdump -C Let me know if you need any more help, hopefully we can get you fixed.
