With all the reports of bootloader unlocking issues, I wanted to get a general idea of how many people are affected.
I voted no, and returned mine partially because of that (although there was a hardware issue as well). Really hope my replacement can unlock.
Been trying for the last few days and today it finally worked. It seems its a piecemeal process on ASUS's side of the interwebs.
Unlock working now for all. Please close the Thread.

i can not unlock it yet.why you said its working for all?
Same here.. getting unknown network error or something like that.
Tien said they are looking into possible things on their server that might cause this but who knows how long that will be. This was about 2-3 weeks ago.

It's probably Asus server mess up again, you guys just keep trying and eventually, you're going to get it...
Hmm, worked first try for me a few days ago.

Update from Asus;
Hi Buhohitr,
Yes, we are aware of the bootloader server error. HQ is currently looking into the matter now. As for exactly what is going, we do not know from our end over here. We believe there is something wrong on their end over there, hence why they are taking over. I apologize for the inconvenience, but the best I can advise right now is to hold tight while they try to work things out.

This issue is with Asus server, it's not on our end, so you just have to wait and try again..Asus said the server is now host with third party and they have no control over it.

An unknown error occurred, the cause may be connected to the network. Wait and try again.
Can anyone tell me why? Or what I can do with this problem...

The error indicated that your device is not registered with Asus server or there's problem with Asus server. Many ppl have this issue and the only way is to wait and try again on another day. Sometimes it takes days, weeks, some...never!! Asus is no longer support this and they transfered this process to third party, so we're at the end of the rope.

Rooting has nothing to do with unlocking. You still can root your device, but without unlocking you will not able to flash recovery in order to flash custom rom/kernel.

ASUS CASEID=RPTM20121129101715-271
Hi David,
Thank you for reaching out. Last I heard, the unlocking problem was due to an issue with the servers over at HQ. Since then, I was informed that they (HQ) would take over handling it. I'm sad to say, that I have not heard anything from them since and I am probably in the same situation as you guys. The best I can recommend is to send it in for RMA since it is believed to be an issues with the MB not being able to communicate with the servers.
Tien
Is that answer your question?

Where does this mention a third party? I would read HQ as Asus HQ in Taiwan.
Ihave the exact same problem. imgonna sell this if it cant be unlocked!

Can you root it on JB without unlocking first ? I missed something...

No, but you can downgrade to ICS, root it with debugfs, use OTA RootKeeper, and upgrade to JB again using dlkpkgfiles saved from OTA upgrades (downloads are available in some thread on this forum). This procedure does not require unlocking and results in a rooted JB.
I've been looking around for a while and can't find much about unlocking the bootloader on the most recent Jelly Bean software. Is there anyway to do it?
Download the unlock tool from the Asus website ......

download apk from here (This is the same tool as download from Asus) https://www.dropbox.com/s/8oj250figntedsb/UnLock_Device_App_V7.apk
That unlocker apk will work. I used it on a jellybeaned tf700 without issues. Just accept all the warnings. Fear not.
You can't know your limits until you exceed them.

Yep works fine on JB even if Asus say it doesnt
Curious
Logan_M im curious to know if the tool worked for you. I have tried for the past month, daily to use the tool to unlock bootloader and it will not. I receive an error stating "An unknown error occurs, which may be a network issue.Please wait and try again later." I tried for 3 weeks on latest Jellybean update, then i decided to downgrade to ICS .30, and i still have same error. Tried on ICS for past week, on different Wifi connections. No luck. I contacted Support and they provided me the same tool V7, still error. They then asked for my MAC Address and i havent heard back from them yet. Hope i can get this unlocked soon, i have been wanting to try some custom ROMS.
Hi All,
This morning I tried check for system updates but it times out. I get the following alert, "Internet connection error or the server is busy. Wait a moment and try again."
Anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks,
Ken
I'm experinencing the same thing.
I have seen this before when new updates are just released and the servers become busy but I haven't seen any posts about new releases.
Probably just Asus doing maintenance on their servers...
I have the exact same problem. Is there any problem with ASUS servers?
I have the same problem, because I can't unlock my bootloader, which I want to do now.. :/ I hope Asus will quick fix this issue.
Thanks, good to know it's not just me. Guess Asus is doing some maintence on their update server.

Hi kyrtap10, was you able to unlock your bootloader? System update started working for me, but Unlock Device Tool still says "An unknown error occurs...".
I NEED TO UNLOCK BL! I have JB 4.1.1 on TF201. Anybody knows what (other than Asus server problem) can cause the error? And, btw, I already verified S/N. It's present and correct.
Thanks!
Also, forgot to mention, that when I boot with Vol Down+Power buttons there are 4 icons:
1. RCK
2. Android
3. USB
4. Wipe Data
What is "RCK"????
The tablet was RMA'd once. When I tried to install OTA JB (not manually!) it never booted again, not even screen came up! So, I had to send it to ASUS. What they could possibly do to it, that it does not unlock bootloader???

Hey all,
I've just downgraded successfully to 9.4.5.30
And I've successfully rooted my ASUS.
However,
Now i want to push the 4.1 update but when I click on the 'System Firmware Update' tab it searches for a while then says
"Internet Connection Error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment then try again"
is there a way round this or something I'm doing wrong? I.e do I need to be logged into google etc?

Guess that's all we can do.
i didnt root/unlock my Infinity, so i am not sure.
Ahh, well upon waiting until the morning seems it clears this up.
Try again at a different time, may have just coincided with an ASUS server shut down or something.

Same here but using TF700.
Anyone else experiencing this issue? I wonder is this is really related to a sever issue.
I used logcat and i found that DMClint can't connect to mdm.asus.com - propably server is dead. And we must wait until asus repair it. Propably!

Thx! It seems to confirm what I was suspecting.
Funny that it happen at the same time that I was rooting my tablet and trying to unlock it after.
Long story short I taught I did something wrong and I did revert back to the stock ROM to have a clear unroot thinking that was the problem.
At that point, the only logical explanation was the server down.
note that my last successful OTA verification was made last Friday night at 21:19
Funny thing that mdm.asus.com is still pingable.
After 3 days with my tf300t i managed to successfully check for an update once almost one hour ago. Now its just gives me the same error
checked the server and i get these
Server Status for mdm.asus.com:
HTTP: Website is either loading slow or offline.
FTP: There seems to be a problem connecting to FTP
MAIL (Pop3): There seems to be a problem with the Pop3
MAIL (SMTP): Failed connecting to SMTP
MySQL: The MySQL seems to be offline.
But the best solution is if it is possibble to downloqd dlpkgfile manualy, anyone know how to do it?
