I do believe this is a bootloader issue, something that Asus have added to the new bootloader, just not sure if it was intentionally done or not.

It could just be that this is an unexpected result of something they changed.

If you do a google search on this there are others that have had same/similar issue with different devices, different android os.

So maybe it could be some line of code added to some bootloader's to cause this issue but has not been picked up on as the cause yet?

I would like to find out if others that have/had this issue also flashed a bootloader for there device.

Doing a text comparison between the 4.1.1 & 4.2.1 bootloader most of it is gibberish (encyrpted text? in both files).

However doing a comparison of what I can read I noticed the word "pinvalue" shows up 3 times in the 4.1.1 bootloader and shows 7 times in the new 4.2.1 bootloader. :confused: maybe something here?

The word "bootloader" shows 16 times in 4.1.1 & 18 times in 4.2.1

The word "recovery" shows 10 times in both.

Not sure if this means anything, was just hoping it would be something that could be easily fixed.:(

I think I'm out of ideas now.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
There is also a new file that has appeared in system/etc called recovery-resource.dat

I do not know what this file does but it wasn't there in 4.1.1
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Goddly:
ive been out of ideas... to me its 100% a bootloader and encryption problem, i think they might have thrown encryption options in the bootloader.. making the device unwriteable to any partition... i still think you should be able to flash the old bootloader, but not letting you write to any partition, kinda screws that....
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pjc21:
Yes but isn't that is part of the system files?, and with last test I only flashed the 4.2.1 bootloader and got the encrypted custom recovery.

That's why I think it's purely a bootloader issue.

@ goddly.... Do you not have nvflash backups? Does anyone know if nvflash could fix this issue? Theoretically couldn't you erase your boot loader and use nvflash files to restore your tab?

@sdbags if nvflash can restore my tab if something goes wrong then I will test for you as I have my nvflash files.

any ideas? And if your encrypted couldn't you erase the boot loader and restore with nvflash? Or does it not even give you enough partition access to do that?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Goddly:
Ive tried to erase the bootloader, tried stock recovery.zip, blob, tried twrp.zip , blob CWM.... etc..

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] evo bryan:
sounds like a new boot loader but i dont think nvflash can work if the file system gets encrypted the password that it is asking for will be an asus thing for them to be able to get to the file system.

It is so awkward that Asus is doing this... I still don't believe that they are blocking us from doing anything lol. Seems like a bad joke
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] evo bryan:
tcypt.ko is not new..not that i understand this but somee new stuff has it besids us.CRYPT encrypts all bytes of all packets sent using the DES encryption algorithm in cipher-block-chaining mode. CRYPT uses the key manager protocol (KM, page ) to map from the source address passed in at open time to a DES key. Each message is encrypted independently. CRYPT is designed to be composed over any datagram protocol, and it accepts arbitrary address types at open time. CRYPT lengthens each packet by 1 to 8 bytes, to the next larger multiple of 8 bytes.

TCRYPT is the same as CRYPT, except that packet lengths are usually unchanged. However, TCRYPT alters packets in the size range 1 to 7 bytes. All of the information below for CRYPT also applies to TCRYPT, except for packet sizes.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] smoothe23:
hey i found something pretty interesting that may help with the encyption issues http://source.android.com/tech/encryption/android_crypto_implementation.html
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pjc21:
Ok I may have found a possible reason why the new 4.2.1 bootloader encrypts custom recoveries or rather seems to encrypt so nothing can be mounted.

After reading through some of the posts in the twrp thread with similar issues. I seems that twrp looks for these partitions (data, system, cache, etc) to be in a certain format, ie ext4. However is the ext twrp is looking for does not exist (say the ext4 is now ext3) twrp will assume that it is encrypted and will bring up a password prompt and be unable to mount.

So with the test I have done to confirm that flashing just the new 4.2.1 bootloader and nothing else encrypts the custom recoveries, could it be that the new 4.2.1 bootloader is reformatting these partitions to some other format making twrp & cwm assume that these partitions are now encrypted??

I am a little reluctant to reflash the 4.2.1 ota update again in case I am unable to downgrade back to 4.1.1 this time. But if anyone is currently running 4.2.1 could you please let me know what ext your partitions are in so I can confirm or dismiss this theory.

Re: [ROM][Mar 5] ★● CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 | JB 10.4.4.25 | ODEX/DEODEX | Kernels

Someone in the nvflash thread told me that the encryption is part of the 4.2 multi user support and if we can disable multi user then the encryption should go along with it. I have been reading around through some nexus 7 threads about people having trouble with the encryption after updating to 4.2 if I see anything worth while I'll post here.

Re: [ROM][Mar 5] ★● CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 | JB 10.4.4.25 | ODEX/DEODEX | Kernels

Very good point. I'm not sure if the multi user encryption is true or not, I was simply tossing the idea out there after hearing it. But perhaps cm 10.1 team found a way around it? Again just spit balling here...

Re: [ROM][Mar 5] ★● CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 | JB 10.4.4.25 | ODEX/DEODEX | Kernels

Yeah it was def a good point to bring up. I personally feel its the newer bootloader thats messing everything up. I noticed once a newer bootloader was introduced, TWRP came out with a newer variant of their recovery. I did email them so i am awaiting response.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] markymark567:
Re: [ROM][Mar 5] ★● CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 | JB 10.4.4.25 | ODEX/DEODEX | Kernels

I just read an article written a few months back talking about the issue that multi user support brings to non nexus devices, mainly pertaining to SD cards. Since SD cards use the FAT file system (compatible with many operating systems) and FAT is not capable of setting permissions, the multi users support will have issues for example, when different users use the same app and store on the SD card. Also if the SD card is partitioned differently to allow multi users then it becomes incompatible with other devices. This is supposedly one of the reasons why the nexus devices don't have SD card support. So I was thinking that perhaps whatever Asus did to combat these issues is what is causing the recovery to encrypt?? Hmmm I could be wrong here but I think it could have something to do with it

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Yes I'm not sure why or how but I agree its the bootloader. And also it seems very logical that a recovery update is needed. ICS and JB 4.1.1 bootloader need their corresponding versions of twrp so it makes sense that the JB 4.1.1 twrp locks up when in the presence of the new JB 4.2.1 bootloader. I'm betting (and hoping lol) that all we need is for our recovery to be compatible with the new bootloader.

Could not get any JB roms to work so ended up trying a stock JB rom and the bloody thing booted . Then went and flashed the latest clean rom for prime . No problems .

Re: [ROM][Mar 5] ★● CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 | JB 10.4.4.25 | ODEX/DEODEX | Kernels

I misspoke, I meant Adb, not the usb driver, duh.....

From a Google page:

When you connect a device running Android 4.2.2 or higher to your computer, the system shows a dialog asking whether to accept an RSA key that allows debugging through this computer. This security mechanism protects user devices because it ensures that USB debugging and other adb commands cannot be executed unless you're able to unlock the device and acknowledge the dialog. This requires that you have adb version 1.0.31 (available with SDK Platform-tools r16.0.1 and higher) in order to debug on a device running Android 4.2.2 or higher.

The issue you are describing sounded similar so I thought it might help you get Adb working at least.

Maybe fastboot was updated in the new sdk also?

You may be in luck. After talking to a member of the TWRP team, it seems that the partitions are NOT encrypted. Just different. Also, they said the kernel may just need to be updated inside the TWRP. I feel once they release a functioning TWRP, and you still have fastboot, you should be able to install that recovery, reboot to recovery, and install a ROM. We are awaiting Asus' release of Kernel source code :)
