[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
Not exactly. The bootloader and kernel are signed but NOT encrypted. You can take the boot.img from the partition and extract the kernel easily since it's not encrypted. You just can't change the partition because of the signature. The reason why the2dcour was able to generate a custom SBF is because the SBF flashed custom partitions that weren't signed. He may have needed signed paritions to build the custom SBF, but he could copy them from an existing official SBF.

Yeah. Encryption != Signature. We have it easier since Tegra Moto phones use signatures instead of the encryption in some OMAP Moto phones. At least we can see what data is there. Wheather we can trick the phone to allow us to change it is another story.
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
What about extracting the bootloader and recovery from their recovery img's (ap20bl.img, Recovery.img)? Where would that take us?

Where would extracting (what I am guessing is) the boot partition (bp.img) lead us to?

I'll just leave this here.................
[Motorola Droid X2] mostKnownUnknown:
Did you try to unpack it yourself? The reason why you can't unpack any of these guys is because they are not mountable and they are not compressed files. Recovery.img is the pushbutton recovery. ap20bl.img is the bootloader. It took me awhile to figure out what bp stands for but this lovely xda search told me the answer (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16969119&postcount=6).

At the same time, did you take this copy from either the GB OTA update or P3Droids rooted GB update? Yeah, there is no bootloader unlock in that. I can tell since I checked the hash on my own phone and it's the same bootloader in the GB update. And we know the fastboot oem unlock is not implemented in that.

$ openssl dgst -md5 mmcblk0p1.img
MD5(mmcblk0p1.img)= fcef29cc089d51518b663c6f8556d0a2
$ openssl dgst -md5 ap20bl.img
MD5(ap20bl.img)= fcef29cc089d51518b663c6f8556d0a2

[Motorola Droid X2] the2dcour:
Overmind, did you flash the THIS_Will_Brick_Your_Phone.sbf? If so you need to keep talking with me especially if it _didn't_ brick your phone lol

To use nvflash. you need the SBK (secure boot key) a factory data cable and stuff like cdt.bin. The SBK is the problem, you wont get that except from a motorola dev, and motorola probably locked that person in a closet and threw away the key.

As for the signature checks I'm pretty sure the Bootloader DOES check them. In the case of flashing a bootloader that doesn't belong on your phone, (assuming the bootloader you flashed is loadable by your phone at all) the bootloader loads far enough to check itself against the public key stored in your phone's Read only memory and then says "Hey, I don't belong here". I could be way off base though. The manner in which it tells you it doesn't belong there can change drastically from a soft brick, to dumping you into nvflash only mode, or a myriad of other possibilities. Hope this helps (and is at least somewhat accurate).
[Motorola Droid X2] balltongue:
Here is an article I found explaining a little more what SBK does. This is for those who are curious like myself.

I was wondering if there was an app thay would make my phone appear like a media server so I could access it from other devices, computers?

[Motorola Droid X2] chip0:
So i had a droid x and and i downloaded lockbot pro and it worked wonderfully. Then i upgraded to the dx2 no it still works but the sliders dont go all the way across the screen anymore :/ i also noticed thay a few widgets from some other apps appear smaller for some reason. Im assuming this is because the phones screen resolution is a lil better than the original droid x?? Idk is there any way to fix these apps? Cuz the sliders are smaller and its kind of annoying :/ any help would be much appreiated!

Is there some way to record the HDMI output of the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elementaldragon:
... but anything that's being fed through HDMI is also on the tablet. This is a little confusing. If it were an HDMI INPUT i could imagine the desire to record, but what exactly are you displaying on an external display that you'd need to record?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Yes and I'm asking if how to record that (like they can on the IPad)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
It's easy. Why do you want to record your hdmi output of the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Easy like? How?:confused:

Why... I can think of two reasons to do it, first if you are a developer the video of your app can be pretty awesome recorded that way, and after editing you get a nice trailer that will make people buy it. The other one is doing video reviews.

From my point of view it's NOT easy: you need an HDMI video capture device and a computer fast enough to handle the massive flow of uncompressed video... maybe the computer part isn't as difficult as it might seem, however the whole HDMI capture device will be around 200 bucks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCmodder:
You could just get a screen capture app. I don't know of any off the top of my head, but you don't need to capture HDMI....you just need to capture what is being displayed on the tablet screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Hm, I see Hauppauge Colossus card has HDMI input - its unencrypted signals of course, but I don't know if the TF101 outputs encrypted or not?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116065
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlexTheStampede:
Uhm, nice price. Not full hd, but especially if it's for 720p that could be a good choice... still I have to admit I'm not sure about the kind of output from the Transformer. My guess is that it's encrypted to allow viewing of protected content... but it's just a guess.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
You'd think the tablet could switch to protected if it was showing protected content, but i fear you are right.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcglide:
- YouTube: Asus Transformer HDMI Screen Capture

- YouTube: ..and the accompanying HowTo

Many these will help - the first one has some suggested capture cards in the flaffle ;)

..also be aware of HDCP before parting with any hard cash!

Note: HDMI out reported not working with Google Video
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Yeah, we need a capture card, we already got that.

And if that first video is to be believe the transformer is outputting encrypted rubbish.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rumbleweed:
The whole idea behind HDMI is to prevent digital copying. A compromise by the major studios mandated before they would release their HD digital content
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
False. The idea behind HDMI is to transmit high resolution imagery in a digital format.

Copy prevention CAN be employed, but it doesn't have to be.

(and of course if the sole purpose is to make a copy of some copyrighted material that will always happen, all it takes is ONE person to succeed then it spreads like wildfire)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty5689:
The resolution the TF101 outputs to the TV is exactly the same as the resolution of the screen (save the 80pixel on the bottom) making the HDMI out 1280x720. If you record the stuff screen, it should suffice quality-wise.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
What do you mean 'record the stuff screen' ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlbaindoor:
Isn't it HDCP that is meant to prevent digital copying? And I believe HDCP is the reason why Panasonic LCD TVs are unable to show the output of the TF - am I wrong?

:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty5689:
Sorry, I was typing that at 2 AM. If you record the stuff on the screen, it will be the same if not better quality than using a Capture Card to record the HDMI out simply because they're both 720p but recording the screen will not record the extra grain that resulted as interference when transmitting signal out of the mini-HDMI port.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
I can't speak to the Hauppauge card specifically, but I own a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle, which captures HDMI just fine on other devices at up to 1080i / 1080p, and it won't work with the Transformer.

http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/intensity/
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Yes, HDCP is the "High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection" whereas HDMI is simply the "High-Definition Multimedia Interface "

Don't know about that - it displays fine on my Philips.

But record HOW?

That's depressing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
So the conclusion is, you can't record the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexydes:
You can definitely record the screen (I made both the videos referenced earlier in the thread). The problem was that the AverTV software was, for whatever reason, detecting HDCP on both the iPad and the Transformer. However, it was still displaying it just fine on the screen (go figure). So if you use a screen capture application like Camtasia Studio or Jing, you can just record whatever is being displayed on the screen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Yeah, or I could point a camera phone at the screen - but that isn't quite the point of the question.

Oh well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
I've just discovered a pretty significant change that Asus has snuck into their Ice Cream Sandwich build for the TF101. Unlike Honeycomb builds, it is now possible to record the TF101 from another device, if you're viewing unprotected content. This is a great change!

For anybody wanting to replicate, I use a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle with Blackmagic Media Express software. To record, set the project format to HD 720p 60.

Unfortunately, audio is badly out of sync so far, but I think that's probably down to my Blackmagic recording device, not Asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kermode:
Oh, that is good. And that is the way it should be really.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Yep, this is exactly how it should be. It's not absolutely perfect if your intention is to use it for recording the tablet's response, say, to show off how the operating system itself works, because you only get a 720p feed which hence crops off the bottom 80 pixels of the tablet's 1280x800 display, but it's perfect for recording output from applications, games, etc.

Or at least, it will be if I can figure out the audio sync issues. It's not even close for audio. The answer may be to pull the audio off the headphone jack separately. If I plug headphones in, I get the audio on the headphones even if there's an HDMI cable connected.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

Update: audio problem looks to be solved. Instead of recording the audio via HDMI, I'm stripping it off the headphone jack with a 3.5mm to stereo RCA cable, and recording on the RCA inputs of the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle. I've only tried a short (~49 second) clip so far, but audio was still in-sync at the end of the clip. By contrast, it was out by a good several seconds with the HDMI audio.

As an added bonus, you get proper volume control using the headphone output, where the HDMI audio doesn't obey the volume control.

Now the only thing left to sort is the colors, which are *very* saturated. It may well be that's a settings thing, or it could be that it's just how it looks when it's not viewed on the tablet's own LCD panel. Not sure. Even if that can't be sorted at capture time, it's easily fixed in post, though...

---------- Post added at 05:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

FYI, just realized something else interesting. I assumed the ICS system bar occupied 80px in height (the difference between 1280x720 and the tablet's 1280x800 display), and didn't think anything more of it, but it doesn't.

What Asus has done -- cleverly, so long as you don't need precise screenshots of how the device looks by default, anyway -- is to add a black bar above the system bar, and switch apps to operating in a 1280x720 pixel window when the HDMI cable is connected.

I'm sure other folks were aware of this; I wasn't. I never use HDMI for display, and couldn't previously use it for recording either. It's a sensible decision, but unfortunately means you can't use HDMI for recording the display precisely as it would appear to somebody using the tablet without HDMI connected. Would've been nice if they'd given us some options (reduce screen area to 1280x720 and don't record the system bar, or scale the whole screen down to 1152x800 and add black bars at the sides.)

Also interesting to note there's support for 3D HDMI output now, not sure if that was the case in Honeycomb.
