The service team reply misunderstood the situation. Unlock tool is unavailable at this moment but we are allowing the possibility to unlock, please stay tuned.

**TL;DR

  • ASUS has apparently withdrawn the ability to unlock the bootloader on its phones.
  • As per the company’s technical support team, Zenfone 10 and Zenfone 9 users won’t be able to root their phones.

    No kidding, especially with their recent motherboards catching on fire, and then voiding users’ warranties for updating to the beta BIOS that fixes the issue, fiasco.

    They used to be such a good company; what happened?

      I assume the same as most companies. Greed. They make greedier and greedier decisions and slowly burn away all the good will it took decades to build. I used to say “get an Asus and you’ll be fine”. Can’t trust the enough to do that anymore.
