[MOD] Disable Forced Encryption on Robin

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)

Instructions:
1. Download and extract the attached file
2. Reboot your Robin into fastboot mode
3. Flash using the command:
Code:

fastboot -i 0x2c3f flash boot boot-noenc-00WW119E-ether.img
4. Factory reset. You may do this by "fastboot erase userdata", from the recovery, or from Android itself.
(Note: If you skip this step, your phone will stay encrypted.).
5. Reboot

Rollback:
1. Re-Enable encryption from Settings -> Security -> Encrypt Phone
2. Flash the stock boot.img
