[MOD] Disable Forced Encryption on Robin [Updated 2016-10-09]

I've modified Robin's boot.img to disable forced encryption.
With encryption gone, you'll be able to use TWRP to flash mods etc, without having to wipe your data every single time.
Other benefits include faster performance and better battery life.
Unfortunately, to actually remove the encryption - you will need to format one last time.
But once done and set up, you'll see that your phone is no longer encrypted.

Requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader
- PC / Mac
- fastboot (+ USB drivers if needed) -or- existing TWRP install
Instructions:
If you're using TWRP:
1. Perform a factory reset from within TWRP and reboot back into it (Note: This isn't required if your upgrading from an existing unencrypted stock install).
2. Flash the included zip file
3. Reboot
Manual flash using fastboot:
1. Download the zip and extract the boot.img file
2. Reboot your Robin into fastboot mode
3. Flash using the command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x2c3f flash boot boot.img
4. Factory reset. (This isn't required if your Robin is already unecrypted and you simply want to update your /boot)
Note: If you skip this step, your phone will remain encrypted.
5. Reboot
Rollback:
1. Re-Enable encryption from Settings -> Security -> Encrypt Phone
2. Flash the stock boot.img

Thanks, worked well!
Thank tested, will se if it gets any faster. Have been having some problem with lag that comes from time to time that I haven't seen on other devices.
Otherwise, great to see support for such a small phone!

The Robin devs are trying to be Community friendly as much as possible its good to see.

can it still be updated using this mod boot ?

Unfortunately no, because the OTA includes an updated delta for the kernel as well (which means the /boot needs to be 100% stock).
If you want to install via the OTA, you need to restore the stock boot.img (and the system partition - if you're rooted or modified it in any way, and the recovery too, if you have TWRP installed).
Alternatively, you may simply flash the updated stock ROM zip on top of your existing install - just be sure to flash the new boot.img zip immediately after (as well as SuperSU and any other mods you may have, if you want to preserve your current setup).

Thank you for this [deXter] it works great.
However does anyone have a solution for how to get rid of the 5 sec nag screen popping up at reboot?
Thanks in advance/arc.

For June update 350 please.

I need help!
When I boot up and finish setup ,my battery percentage said : 3.0858 % and Wi-Fi wasn't turning on did I do something wrong?

This mod only allows you to use your phone unencrypted - it shouldn't affect your battery or WiFi. Are you sure you flashed the correct version?
Goto Settings - About. If you're on the June 1 ROM (Build 00WW_1_350) then your kernel version should say 3.10.84 Wed Jun 1. If these numbers do not match then restore to the latest factory image/ROM and start over. Also, have you tried a factory reset yet?

For 450 Please

Updated for build 450.

Hi everybody! Just receveid the OTA notification
I'm currentyl on 6.0.1 1450 rooted with twrp, do you have the modified boot.img for the Nougat beta as well? Thanks

Many thanks for this work. Getting the Robin rooted and usable was a struggle compared to the Nexus4. This mod helped greatly.

Boot image for N88 please. Thanks in advance.

So did I understand right, I only can use this mod for stock ROM (not for LineageOS 14.1)?

Yes. Lineage does not have forced encryption.

Boot.img for N108?

Use the modified FED Patcher for the Robin from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ne...d-patcher-robin-forceencrypt-disable-t3352006
It worked fine for me on 108. After flashing the latest 108 7.1.1 file from the Razer forums, I flashed TWRP 3.1.0-0, then the FED Patcher, and finally Super SU 2.82.

I think I have bricked my phone?

After a lot of messing about I managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP but now it won't boot into the system, TWRP boots into recovery fine, but when trying to boot in system it just idles on this screen.

and this is what TWRP looks like but won't let me pick sd card or otg to install mgisk or no verify
is it possible to install custom roms via fastboot instead of having to go down the stock rom path?

Have you installed the official 32 twrp or the 64 bit twrp? have you formatted user data yet in TWRP? if not do a full wipe then flash ROM, GAPPs and reboot

Stock rom will not boot if you flash TWRP & select to modify system as clearly explained in my twrp thread
All you need to do is select install then select storage on bottom left - select the storage location you have placed your super user zip
If you haven't got one just connect phone to PC whilst in recovery mode & transfer it over
Or
Format system data cache then reboot to recovery & then flash a custom rom
Also your twrp is out of date - I suggest going to my twrp thread unless you flashing the lineageos 15.1 64bit version then you need the twrp from that thread that supports 64bit rom flashing

Live l1 and lite l1 is a completely different devices

This TWRP actually partially works for Live L1 (ZA550KL, SD425). The problems are 1) it can't decrypt /data, 2) it fails to mount /xrom (which is inexistent on the Go variant) and 3) no ADB/MTP, but for flashing ROMs/addons, backing up and restoring, it works nicely. Just letting y'all know about it.

Can you link me to the one you know of? I just found another one from TWRP Builder, and it did fix most problems, but I still can't use decrypted data (shows "encryption unsuccessful" on boot). And it doesn't expose /vendor either which is a small letdown. <- Fixed by unpacking and editing recovery.fstab.

I used a GSI to update from Oreo to Pie. But the TWRP has only 2 options (boot & Recovery) to flash the .img file. However, I did a restore & back with the old Oreo. I want to upgrade my Asus Lite 1 to Pie!! Is there any possibility to get the mobile back to the factory state including recovery? So, that I can begin from one.

[EDIT]
IMPORTANT NOTICE, READ BEFOR E CONTINUING. ​If you flash stock rom and you are updated to OS>6.2.8.0 then you will loose TWRP, you no longer will be able to unlock your 4k stick ever again because updating your stick with rom with efuse burner will block the BROM exploit and you will not be able to unlock again.​Again, going stock will lock your device and you'll no longer be able to unlock it again. If you still want to go stock then follow the steps mentioned below.​
Download locked/stock rom for mantis, you will find the rom in XDA posts named like update-mantis-6271-blabla.zip or .bin, if it is in .bin just rename it to zip.
Push it to your internal storage of mantis, wipe everything except internal
Flash it via twrp,
Edit: (This edit was just of older version of OS like 7.1 or 7.3)
You don't have to factory reset, you can always switch back and forth these updates, you can flash 7.1 on top of 7.3 or vice-versa, because there is no actual major OS update, and the files are compatible, and the update replaces the whole system you should know.
If you choose to switch b/w them make sure not to wipe anything, because your remote will be unpaired, so keep that in mind. But if you are rooted and use peacockTV then a factory reset is kinda mandatory after doing this.
[EDIT END]
Reboot, setup your account and when you are fully setup, enable adb and authorize your computer.
At this point your system is fully stock, but your bootloader isn't.
Open the update-mantis-something.zip you will find boot.img, extract it to the folder where you have fastboot installed (download and install if you haven't, you can also use the live image which contains fastboot drivers and application ).
While the stick is connected to your pc
Enter
Code:
adb reboot recovery
when the stick opens TWRP
Enter
Code:
adb shell reboot-amonet
When you see the stick showing black screen with firetv logo, enter
Code:
fastboot devices
to confirm if your device is connected (install drivers if you cannot connect)
If you see your device in fastboot
Enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your stick will reboot itself.
You will have to factory reset your stick one more time, or some apps like peacock tv will not work.
Good luck.

This works perfectly if anyone else is wondering.

I have followed the above and entered fastboot which can be seen here:

I had a look through the platform-tools folder but I couldn't find any "drivers" as such that I could point device manager at. Thanks in advance

Custom ROM based on Stock firmware RPDS31.Q4U-39-26-4-2
This custom ROM uses stock kernel without modification. The source for the stock kernel is not released by the OEM.​
Preliminary requirements:
- Unlocked bootloader.
- New and Clean Stock firmware is required!
- TWRP installed;
- Micro SDCard or USB flash drive should be formatted to exFAT.
What's done:
- Removed the restriction on writing to the system, which in Android 10 is in Read Only (r/o) mode by default, which eliminates the possibility of modifying it. In this firmware it is possible to mount the system in Read Write (r/w) mode. Encryption is preserved in this case.
- System passes SafetyNet test, device is certified (in Magisk settings activate "Magisk Hide" function, in "Magisk Hide" tab give permission for Google Play Services, perform Google Play reset);
- Cleaned and lightened the system;
- Built in additional system color accents;
- Built in and updated to the latest versions at the time of firmware and Apps release . YouTube removed, because I use YouTube Vanced;
- Installed apps AdAway ad blocker, Command Center 2;
- Ringtones, notifications, alarms sounds have been replaced.
🛠 Installation:
1. Extract the system image from the archive (see tab "Download") and copy it to the SD Card.
Also copy the "Magisk Installer" archive Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v21.4.zip in to the SD Card.
2. Reboot the device into bootloader mode and then into TWRP.
3. Installing the ROM image. In the "Install" tab in the lower right corner, click the "Install img" button and select the firmware image. A window will open, where you will need to select the "Super" partition. "Swipe to confirm".
4. Go to the "Reboot" section and reboot the device back to Recovery.
5. Go to "Wipe" and do a "Swipe to Factory Reset ".
6. Install "Magisk-disable-dm-verity-v21.4.zip". Reboot in to the System.
7. When the boot is complete make the initial settings.
8. Launch the "Magisk Manager" app and update it. You will be asked to configure the work environment. Agree. Phone will automatically reboot itself when setup is done.
Download
Edge_R_Pure_Edition_02-1
Edge_Q_Pure_Edition_nowrz_04-2
Advanced
YouTube Vanced v.14.21.54 Black Magisk
Proven, absolutely trouble-free version of YouTube Vanced.
To prevent in Play Market from updating in to the stock YouTube app, you need to add empty file with the name "enable_detach" (without extension) into the folder "/cache" (at the root of file system) using RootExplorer and rebooting your phone. One minute after the reboot, the application will unbind from the Market.
Enjoy!

Updated the ROM to a version based on Android 11(R).

Anyone using this daily?

I use. Why can't this ROM be used as the main firmware?

Hi, I tried installing the android 11 version of this from after clean restoring to stock. I installed the .img to the super partition and the phone wont boot. I get the "unable to open block device /dev/block/loop (20, 19, 18, 17): no such device or address. Any help? Thanks

Have you fully read and followed all the points in the instructions? Have you installed Magisk?

This message appears because TWRP is not adapted to Android 11. Ignore it.

Ahh thank you, I was trying to install on the Android 10 base. Thanks!

what is the difference between r and q? android 10 and 11 i assume?
also ive been out of the rom loop for quite a while (lg g8, just got unlock like a month ago), what is wrz and why is it not allowed? just curious.

im having a weird issue. i bought 2 edges recently, and wanted to install this rom. both are on final android 10 firmware, and im flashing the q img. obviously both are bootloader unlocked and using twrp 3.5.2.
i followed instructions on one, and it went perfectly fine no issues. on the second whenever i flash the image it wont boot and the twrp log has a few errors about partitions. also there are 2 super partitions listed. even restoring my bone stock twrp image or flashing the factory fimware i have the same issue and the twin super partitions persist. the phone will boot on the stock rom fine however.
edit: weirdness continues, now all of the sudden the rom image flashed perfectly fine, when i rebooted back to twrp for magisk.zip i had no errors. however there STILL is 2 supers listed. but i flashed magisk and booted to system... and it boots. idk.
in the select partition to flash to menu the partitions listed (in order) are: boot, dtbo, boot logo, recovery, super, vbmeta, vbmeta system, super. ive tried both instances of super and both had problems except for this time where it succeeded (i did the first instance this time).
i should also note that this was like this when i made my initial twrp backup, there were 2 super partitions in the backup menu. but, the other phone that had no issues, did NOT have 2 super partitions at any point. again... idk.

Unfortunately, I didn't understand a lot of it, because I don't know English very well.
The fact that in TWRP in Backup you see two Super partitions, it's not a big deal. Choose both, but in fact your backup will have one Super partition.

its just strange but i guess if it works.
but im also having issues with applications. for one, the asus gallery and file browser that are bundled always ask for storaage permissions, even if i grant them they wont launch and keep asking for permissions. wipe data, force stop, grant permissions again, nope they still ask for permissions. i dont know whats going on with them. also i cant set a picture wallpaper. not with gallery, google photos, google gallery, nothing. i get a notification that says "error, could not load media" every time i do it no matter what app i try to use. live wallpapers are fine.

There should be no such problems. This behavior can only be when you try to make these applications (Asus Gallery, Asus File Manager) system applications using, for example, RootExplorer.
I don't have this problem even after restoring a backup.
Install ROM on a clean, re-installed stock firmware.
