Katkiss 4.4.4 doesn't install properly / encryption unsuccesful

Hi all

My name is Patrick (or Buzzert ;) and i WAS the happy owner of a working TF101...

I got the TF101 when it just came out, i got the 40 model, if i am correct. After all this time it had become so slow, it allmost wasn't worth picking up any more (well... ok, you know what i mean). So, after all the good posts about Katkiss i thought and give it a go.

First i had to root the pad. This gave me a hard time; i finally used the BRK rootkit V8.0 from XDA for this. Troubles all the way; i will spare you the details, but ADB didn't work. The PC only linked it as a camera, not as a TMP device, even after installing the Asus lync. But finally, it seems to have worked (allthough i never got the end-note that rooting was a succes), because i could go to the recovery-mode.

Ok, from here i went to recovery and followed the steps as given in the thread of the ROM from Timduru.

First problem: backup was made to the SD-card. Then i put the downloads of the ROM and gapps to the SD-card. But stupid me: the SD-card was encrypted because of security reasons for my job, so i couldn't use that again. Made a new download to a new card, but forgot the image of the backup. Again: stupid me! But hey, if a get a clean pad, this is no biggy for me...

Installation seemt to go well; the Katkiss-ROM installed nicely and gapps after it dindn't give trouble as well. So i was allmost happy again...

Now the next problem: after the reboot, the Timduru/Katkiss logo appears, the dog with 'flying colours' appears en then...:

Encryption unsuccesful

Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your tables is no longer accessible.

To resumeusing yur tabel, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your tablet after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account.

Now the sh*t starts to hit the fan, i suppose... i tried an factory reset in recovery; did not help, i get the same 'encryption unsuccesful'.

Panic rises... I tried the whole proces again, making sure to make factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, format system, format data. Then new, fresh installation of the ROM and gapps; no luck.

Panic increases: scrolled the internet, and found that the only way to cure this would be to install the stock ROM again (btw, version 9.2.1.27). So i went to the asus-site (at this point i am allready happy when the stock works again..), dl't it and... installation aborted.

Tried the WW, TD and even the US-version, all with the same result (WW should be my version).

After this tried the installation of Katkiss/gapps again, and you guessed it, it has gone no further then 'encryption unsuccesful'.

Could anybody please help me out? What to do??

Yeah, i am clearly no developer, but i am enthousiastic and tried a experiment gone bad, i guess... I first wanted to go for the T303K, but since the dock isn't available in the Netherlands, i thought to try this first. Flashing worked with my WD-mediaplayer, so i felt convidence enough to do it to my pad! I should have sticked to the stock, i suppose... ;)

Anyone please help me out??

Thanx in advance.
