Encryption is it worth doing - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All of my study is in the city so my tab could get stolen one day and at home i have a younger brother who loves to play with settings etc
Is the encyption worth the hassle?
Does it break anything?
Do i have to decrypt re-encrypt every boot is it slow?
I have never had this option before but it seems like a good idea i just want to know how it plays in real world use before i do it.

The problem with having an encrypted partition is that CWM at moment can't really do anything useful to those partitions. You cannot flash, backup, or restore via CWM. This means your ability to work with custom ROMs is effectively crippled. In fact, to undo the encryption (or if you forget your password), I had to nvflash back to stock. Factory reset via CWM cannot be done since, again, the partitions are still encrypted.
If in the future, CWM is able to access the partitions like the stock recovery can, then you'd be fine.

I wouldn't touch it for now. If/When CWM allows for it (possibly ICS, as I might guess that the closed nature of HC is limiting development around encryption support?) then maybe..

Thats a good point ae hopefully with icys than can also make abit more headway with the more advanced recoverys to
Never thought about that before thanks

Fail to ROOT via SuperOneClick

Okay, i cant root with SuperOneClick, its my computer. Its SUPER SLOW and CANNOT do anything without freezing. I installed the LG drivers in safe mode (because it would never install in regular) and decided to try to root in safe mode and when it freezes for a bit (at any point), in Task Manager, it says "Not Responding"
Ive unblocked the files and even ran it in admin and yet it still fails and YES, my SD is unmounted and i have USB Debugging on. Here is my system specs:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyway i can manually root it? Like change the stuff myself? not the program AND NO! I WILL NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER!
Thanks!
Im using SuperOneClick 1.9
Do you know how to use adb?

I heard some have used gingerbreak.. Cannot confirm.. But it's an apk you install then run.. Might be worth a shot..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Look for a app called gingerbreak in the mkt I think. I had the same problem I figured it was cause I was using vista. If you can't find it email me from your phone and I can send you the apk. [email protected]

with those specs and it running super slow, i think you have bigger problems than root. that pc should be fast and smooth. forget about your phone and format that pc lol.
and this post would have been better placed here, as you didn't develop anything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
For starters you are posting in he wrong area plz read the rules. Also learn to use ADB. Mods plz move

Um... no? I did the SuperOneClick before on someone elses G2X, it roots without unlocking the bootloader.
NOTE: Finally i got it rooted but im sure there are others with this problem. I was actually using my friends computer to root it

Problem after NVflash

I just flashed CWM using NVflash, which i've done before, but not on this particular device. This is the screen I get once I hit the button:

The S/W Upgrade screen shows up on my phone, I pull the USB, restart with the Vol - and Power, but i get stuck at the LG screen forever.
Go to cwm and flash a new rom
For me, it's aroudn 10 seconds to get in to CWM

Redo it if it isn't booting to recovery... search the nvflash thread also.

Got it all sorted out, had to basically revert to stock G2X using that flash.bat method that is floating around. Worked like a charm! running Nullifier Single right now, already have CM7 RC1 on deck followed by a legit open source Kernel Faux was messing around with.
I'll use my banned IMEI G2X for ICS builds.

Your phone is most likely fine, you just don't have the patience to fix it yourself.

Interesting! Please inform us (and make a screenshot).
So far I have noticed that woke in recovery (twrp) it will not show me to wipe anything. And while in fastboot, it won't allow me to erase any partition. It will allow me to flash over but not erase.
In recovery it says 'failed' unable to mnt /data partition.

I'm gonna try to delete some apps and see if it has that dumb a$$ write protection kernel again.
Yup new kernel has write protection. Even after flashing jmz's disable wp zip. I'll upload the boot img so maybe a dev can figure out how to remove it
You are still S-Off? With S-Off you should be able to delete System apps.
Yeah still s-off a reboot after flashing jmz's disable wp.zip now can delete system apps and mnt /data

Hmmm, well, thanks, much appreciated. Seems as when I rebooted my phone the update finally came in haha. Even though I had already followed through with yours I proceeded forward with the update none the less and allowed it to install. Not sure if it overlapped what you gave me or if the system picked up yours to begin with. Either way, all seems well so thanks.

The furthest ive gotten is doing it manually in cmd and it says the image file is not a loki image and when it boots recovery its blank black screen. No one has any help for me? Should i try going back to stock recovery first? How do i do that?

So you'll never guess what happened. I woke up next to my phone and it was in cwm! But guess what?! My phone did the OTA on its own while I was asleep and bricked my 2 day old phone! Any help WITHOUT using Linux? I can't even get into recovery anymore because I tried to install another recovery zip to fix it and now there is no recovery

I'm making an appointment with geeksquad (phone came from best buy) and the service rep I talked to said they'd most likely replace it for me. If not, my computer asks me if I want to format the drive (repeatedly when I plug it in with every drive letter of the alphabet) what would happen if I did?

Just restore back to stock. There is a lot of info on how to do this on this forum. You don't need the geek squad.
