Bought the the device on black friday and almost regreting it have been able to root or rom
heres a pic of the about section maybe someone can point me in the right direction
I originally bought mine on Black Friday but took it back the next day because Office Depot had the 32gb on sale for $20 more. It seems I got lucky because my tablet unlocked.
According to many of the members here, the unlock tool isn't working on many devices yet. Some say it's due to the fact that Asus hasn't added the serial numbers to their data base. Who knows the reason? The fact still remains that many cannot unlock their device. For devices running the Jelly Bean bootloader this means NO recovery and NO root. Hopefully Asus will solve the problem because many are frustrated.
Have you tried to use the unlocker from Asus yet? There is much info on the subject in this forum. I suggest doing some intense reading up on the subject. All of the answers to your questions are probably held within this forum.
Good Luck!

I think, to those who have error should try register their device on Asus support first before using unlock tool.

Good idea, Tamaskan. I just downloaded and installed the unlocker apk but it seems things have changed and a lot of people are having problmes getting i to work. It may very well require registering before the unlocker can be used. I would at least give it a try if it weren't working for me. :good:
tried registering ..no luck ..am still getting the error mesage

I've read all over the forums that newer owners of the TP2 are not able to unlock their phones to enable ROM flashing. I've tried several suggestions but have not been successful. I am getting an error telling me '...we have detected that you appear to have already unlocked another device...' which is not true. I have submitted a ticket several days ago but it appears to be untouched. I've owned several HTC's before and have never had 'license' issue with a unlocker. Is there ANY way around this? Is there any other unlocker in existence? Can anyone verify they've been successful with the unlocker recently and if so, please describe what you have done in the process? I would love to help out the community with ROM testing feedback, etc. but I'm stuck.

Send them another ticket...they will reply...
well whatever. obviously, in my case the only way to get my 'free' license was to pay for it. I paid $6 bucks or whatever it was and I got my 'free' license rigth away
Don't know if this will help but I had a hell of a time unlocking my sprint touch pro 2. Tried just about everything I could find on all the forums - spent 3 months just trying to get the bastard unlocked. I too never had the problem previously.
I did donate and get a RhodiumWUnlocker and it would not work.
I also tried but could not get the SSPL-Manual-RhodiumW__V1_01 to work from the phone, it just locked up.
What I did seems silly, but it worked for me on mine.
I gave up using my main desktop that I have used for years for everything and grabbed a new/different Windows 7 laptop and installed the Hard SPL from there and it worked!!
I was then able to run the MightROM update.
I would try doing the flash/unlock from another machine. Had I not been so obstinate I could have save my self a butt load of aggrevation.
I now have the latest MightROM running with one major bug - got a corrupted 'HTC Sense Home' that I can't seem to get rid of - I tried the "MightyMike & LilRico PIMPstick Purple Full" and it jacked the Home all up. And it will not uninstall either!
Oh well.
But you might try from a different machine that's all I could recommend and I hope that helps.
Same problem I paid three times, submitted 2 tickets & I get no response for 2wks and counting! I sent them my payment info as well

I paid twice and I can't use the program, this will actually be my official third payment! I just cant find the other e-mail confirmation yet. So could you guys get back with me A.S.A.P this his my second ticket! I PM u with the full trans ID
I actually had this same issue! I didn't do a ticket though. Sent a direct email to him and next morning (this was at 4am) he sent me a new link and ta da!
So try sending him an email and I guess they'll have to verify or something?

Hi there,
A few months back (pre prime) people were quite active on getting nvflash to work for SBKv2 devices. Now lately I barely hear news. I'm quite curious: is this dead? or is work still being done?
I really would love to get ubuntu running as atm I feel android is quite limited as a tablet OS.
Wrong section, I'm afraid...

As curious as I am about this too it is non the less the wrong section post in general or q & a
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
This thread with it's replies confuses me. Was this initially posted in Android Dev? That would make sense
Nevertheless, the question still remains. I haven't heard anything about SBKv2. I wonder if it's not a lack of effort, but rather just a difficult, difficult task. You would have to ask the guys over at androidroot.mobi really...
I would like also to know were is the sbkv2.
2 questions:
- how was the first sbk key found? from what I understand it is saved in the hardware someplace that it is not readable, so there is no way it can be extracted. maybe the first was leaked from and insider as Asus? or was just the default for the tegra?
- any chance asus will provide an unlock tool for the TF101 with the one they will release for the Transformer Prime?
It was leaked.
I think it might be time to petition Asus for the rights to our device. It worked for the TF201 owners. And honestly, its ridiculous to say we shouldn't be able to know the SBK (and I'm willing to void warranty for that)
Thanks for the replies and yeh it's sadly as I feared. I guess we need to start a petition about it.
And about the mispost, yeh... kinda was in doubt when posting. As well the question IS development related my humble apologies for the mistake
btw seeing I have a dock-drain on my transformer I mailed em.. also with the inquiry about the SBK let's see how they respond
Hi everyone!
I´m also curious about that same thing, and I would be happy to sign a petition =P.
yea, noone knows whats going on?

Just luck, he must have got an sbk1 device, there is no sbk2 nvflash yet.
Where I got mine, the demo unit was B50, while the one I got was BC0KAS, I had the option to get the demo unit but It was there since few months, and many many touched and played with it, which is not very good for me.
I recently had to send my Infinity to Asus twice for some warranty repair and on the last trip, they replaced the WiFi so now I can't get OTA updates or unlock the tablet. Can anyone tell me is there is someone specifically that I can contact to have this fixed? I tried the Asus-USA rep on this site and sent an email to [email protected] (which was posted on another thread as a possible source of help), but so far I haven't been able to get any help on this situation. I really wanted to unlock and give CROMI a try, but I can't until this gets fixed, if it ever gets fixed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Call them directly. Don't take no for an answer. Tell them you know others have had it done. Ask to speak to a manager.

Regular tech support will not get you the results you want. They will just continue to issue an RMA but they can't fix the information stored on the servers and I don't think the service centers can either. The information they enter is correct on their end but for whatever reason it does not update the servers in Taiwan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187777 Look through here and read what others have tried. Don't mention your desire to unlock the tablet. Good luck and as sbdags mentioned, don't give up.

I had seen that thread before and I was going to try that, but I can't even access the Asus Device Tracker site. I go to devicetracker.asus.com, sign in and then I see a "Page no found" error and am booted back to the login page. Anyways, I got another email from Tien and after some back and forth, he agreed to create a case for me so that when I call the support line, they'll be able to see that I'm not bull****ting them. Still, it's pretty ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops to get basic functionality. What do the non-nerds do? I'll let you all know what progress I make with this and I thank you for all your help so far.

They don't know what "unlocking" is, and even if they know, they don't care.

Agree.
Ask for a replacement. Someone in an other forum received 600€ after many calls. He said he will wait for the next infinity.

Alright, here's the story. --
I bought this refurbished Transformer tf700t, and eventually got around to rooting it. The only issue I had with that was downgrading the build from 10.6.1.14.10 to 10.6.1.14.8.
Easy peasy, no problem.
Next, obviously to install a custom ROM, I needed to unlock the thing. It gave me a network error, which I found was because I didn't register with Asus. I go to do that, only to find that the serial number is unknown.
I've browsed for about 5 hours now, and I'm almost positive that it's impossible at this point to get the serial to register to unlock, or for that matter, unlock at all.
So this thread is more about 'Am I actually screwed' or is there another way around the network error/register issues?
ahh crap, I posted this to general instead of Troubleshooting.
My bad. :silly:

I got to the Asus support chat, and explained my situation.
He gave me the actual serial number based off the Mac address of my tablet, and thankfully, it worked with the device tracker. sort of.
It came up in the list as my device, yet it can't locate or communicate with it.
So now I'm just trying new things to see what will work.

I can't unlock mine either! I have had multiple talks with Asus to no avail, I am also unable to register on the device tracker website. Asus just keeps telling me to wait and try again later. Please help if you can.
If you have blocked the OTA files, froze them, or deleted them, it won't let you unlock, FYI. If you restore them, you can unlock if this is your problem.

If this is the case would I get that dammed network error from the unlock tool? I had to downgrade to 10.8, so maybe that messed things up. Is there a way to check and see if I've blocked them, or deleted them?

I have read and followed dozens of this stories and have never read that frozen or removed "OTA files" (????) have anything to do with it - and I seriously doubt it.
The most common reason for the unlock tool not to work is that your serial number or MAC address of the main board are not registered on their server in Taiwan. This happens most often after a RMA return, but sometimes out of the box.
You need to be persistent, keep pestering them that you insist on being able to use their device tracker service.
You could even tell them OTA updates are not working.
The regional help centers seem to loath having to contact HQ in Taiwan to get this fixed. And they are the only ones who can.

Bad News, I am afraid. I too have a refurbished Infinity with the same problems. After 3 weeks of emailing Asus support they finally told me they only allow new units to use their services (unlocking ,OTA's and device tracking). Something that they do not disclose when they are trying to sell it to you. Unless there is a change in policy at Asus we are screwed. If we had bought a secondhand unit we would be looked after better by Asus.

They are lying to you. Ask them to be put through to support in Taiwan (or find an email address) and they will add you to the database. Many people have done it now.

I hope you are right, sbdags, many RMA,s have been added to the database but I would like confirmation that a refurb has been successful. I will keep plugging away at the giant sloth that is Asus support.
Let me first start by saying. I'm sure alot of people will find this annoying but after searching countless forums on various sites all across the web I can't find a definitive answer. Has the Verizon Wireless SCH-I535 4.4.2 I535OYUDNE1 3.4.0 Kernal Bootloader been unlocked? Most posts I see are several months old and some people say no one cares and there will never be an unlock, others claim it's in the works, some claim it has been done but I can't find a link or posting stating without a doubt it has been done and how to do it. So my question to recap is ( Has the locked bootloader successfully been unlocked? If so where can I find the instructions on how to do so?) I did successfully manage to root and grant SuperSU but then wound up getting the ! Yellow triangle of death and had to re-flash stock. I have a great deal of stupidity when it comes to newer tech but have thus far enjoyed tinkering and feeling around in the dark to learn. After all "Discovery requires experimentation." Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. Or just give me a straight and certain answer.

Straight and simple answer - no, it has not been unlocked and likely never will be unlocked.
Balls! That sucks. Damn Verizon. Should've guessed as much. What did I expect? So many people praise them but I get ******* service everywhere I go. And I live in a major US city. Thanks for your reply though. I'll stop holding my breath. I do have one last question. I've seen posts of people flashing CM11-12 on the SCH-I535 does that include the Verizon 4.4.2 or not? I assume it doesn't but in the off chance it does would you provide a link to the relevant manual? Thanks again.

If they are on CM there bootloaders are unlocked. And no that does not include those who took the OTA to 4.4.2
