I had no issues at all unlocking. Honestly, i dont mean to sound rude, but i feel all these people having issues with unlocking simply arent paying attention to all details and are too eager to unlock.
This is what i did once i got my device:
Had JB on it but i still manually ran an OTA update. It found an update and installed successfully.
Went to the Asus website and found the apk to unlock.
Copied to my SD card and installed it. Ran the program. It did its thing.
Booted to fastboot, installed TWRP flashed ROOT.
Made a backup.
Rebooted to TWRP.
Installed CROMI ROM.
And all has been perfect
did you register youre device with asus before running the unlocker?
I think you have to provide your serial number. I can't quite remember but there are guides on here for it.
I didn't even have to update to latest firmware. I was still on ICS when I unlocked allowing me to utilize NVflash. I did however have to register the device on the Asus website first though. After registering it took a couple of days before the unlock APK would connect and do it's thing.

On CleanROM 3.2.1 now.
TO the OP: While there is always a risk of something going wrong with any device when you start modifying it, the risk can be greatly reduced by doing you homework and asking questions when you're not quite sure about something. This forum is a great place for the collective knowledge to get you there.
The only real issue I've heard of about unlocking is when the MAC address on the the tablet didn't match what was in Asus' database as discussed here. If you try to unlock, do it before the return period runs out for where you bought it and try it with a different one.

I didnt know asus registered the device with the unlock tool. I had read that it is possible to unlock without using the tool. I didnt click on the link since i came across it after i unlockedmine. I did accidently format emmc in clockworkmod and reinstalled stock asus rom and it locked it again. If you are unlocked it will say it is whileyouare booting up. Mine doesnt say it anymore. I am about to unlock it again and reflash cleanrom 3.3.

I don't think Asus registers the device WITH the unlock tool. Mine wouldn't unlock using the tool until I registered using the Asus website.
No problem unlocking mine either. I had it unlocked and running a custom ROM in under an hour. :good:
As far as unlocking without the tool, did you mean rooting without unlocking. That can be done but only on the ICS bootloader.
I got mine for xmas... Didn't register and i used the tool...i was on stock jb

You CAN NOT Relock. The prime devs worked on it for months, and couldn't get anything working. If you decide to unlock you void your warranty and no longer get official ota's. You do get access to custom roms though.

Correct. The only reason I would recommend unlocking, is so that you can install a custom rom. If you do not want to install a custom rom you shouldn't unlock.

Everything works on the tablet still. Asus just has your SN blacklisted
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
you can update, however not by ota. you update by flashing roms that are updated.
There may not be a way (yet) of relocking the bootloader, but there should be a way of preventing ASUS from logging the serial. From the decompiled unlock tool, the tool is sending something to https://mdm.asus.com/DMServer/DeviceState. However, that may not matter. In a previous thread about this (for the Transformer Prime), one developer found that the result returned from the ASUS server is stored in a variable that's never used

I doubt they blacklist it, they did after all provide the tool. Of course, they do say they won't officially support if you do unlock, but that doesn't necessarily mean they wouldn't if you asked them.

SOMEHOW, the "Device is UnLocked" has disappeared from boot screen
As I mentioned here just earlier today (or the full thread here), the "Device is UnLocked" has vanished from my boot screen. The screen that first shows up after you start your TF300.
I had gone through A LOT the past couple of days trying to UN-BRICK my device. Once I fixed my TF300, the "Device is UnLocked" is no longer in the upper left-hand corner anymore.
I have no clue what I did, or even if it's really "Locked" again. All I know is that it's gone. I think I might have accidentally tweaked something that might have just turned off the actual "Device is UnLocked" text. But I don't know...
-h3llsdr0id
OK - so I am yet another one who just got the Infinity TF700 and cannot receive any OTA updates and receive the infamous 'network issue' error message when trying to use the unlocker apk. Question - are there any developers (or other talented people) who would be able to figure out what the unlocker does so that we can get a manual unlock like we have to do for the manual updates? Probably a stupid question - if it was possible, it probably would have already been done by someone. Just a thought.
Welcome to the team of locked devices screwed up by Asus. No solutions provided by Asus, too complex to develop a soft to unlock (encrypton). To summarize almost no chance to unlock your device.
I have the same problem. No OTA and no Unlock. I have make the Update to .26 manually but i can not manually unlock.
Yeah, after doing some further research, it's not just the Infinity. The same problem occurs with all Asus tablets - some can unlock, some can't, and there doesn't seem to be any solution. Sucks big time cause other than a tiny bit of light bleeding, this thing is fabulous after manually updating to the .26 version.

Same issue has been on the Prime as well, as tmaurice pointed out, and while a lot of people have tried, all have failed thus far due to the encryption level used. I think there is a straight 0% chance of any development to a third-party unlocker, sorry. And it sucks, I know. Returning it might be the only option.
So the best thing to do if i can't unlock the bootloader is to just return it and get a new one and hope that it can unlock? Without being able to unlock i cannot flash a new rom, kernel or anything, correct?

Yes, and yes. I'd keep returning until you get an unlockable unit -- if you really want to have OTA. And no, you can't do anything minorly advanced whn your unit is locked (no ROMs. no kernels, no recoveries).
I have now my second Infinity and the same problem. I can not unlock .

I see a lot of different people doing 2 or 3 RMAs and still having the same problem as a lot of us. Samsung has to be aware of the issue by now. Not sure if they're just ignoring it or don't know how to fix it. If you dig around their website you can find quite a few 404 errors and dead links as well. I think they have some serious problems with their servers.
Is there anyway to tell if I can unlock my bootloader without going throught the process? At which point does it show the error when you try to unlock? Anyone know?

Not really, but a positive sign would be if you were able to receive OTA. Mostly if you have issues with OTA updates you could also have with bootloader unlock... but still no way to be sure without using tha unlock tool.

My S/N is the C6O series and will not OTA or unlock. There are several others in the C6O series that are also unable to lock. At first we thought it might be the 'O' being read as a 'zero' by the Asus servers (maybe they had it wrong in their database), but a couple of people switched their serial numbers between the numeric and the letter for the third digit, but neither solved the issue. It's definitely something either with Asus' servers or their database of serial numbers. Someone in the Prime forum pulled apart what happens when you click the app, and the first thing it does is reach out for confirmation from Asus - and more than half of us with valid serial numbers are getting an immediate bounceback with the network error. Kinda frustrating. At the moment I'm OK with it since we can still root and manually apply the latest updates, but at some point more development is going to happen on these units and I'd love to flash away like I have with all my other devices.

That's not a solution though, it still wont let him unlock.
Before I exchanged mine, it was C60 and would not unlock.
Here we go again. Just when I think I finally got an ASUS tablet without issues. I went through 3 primes but OTA updates was not a problem. I had to manually update my Infinity to both .22 and .26 firmwares. It is an easy process so I wasn't that concerned. I haven't attempted to unlock yet. Is there anyone who didn't get the OTA updates but was able to unlock or do both situations always happen together?

You only can root while you on ICS version .30 or below. Once upgraded to JB there's a different procedure to obtain root. Here is the guide. If you have any question, just ask here. BTW tf700 is not same as galaxy note 2. NO ODIN for tf700.

After rooted on ICS, you need to download OTA rootkeeper from the market to preserve root (keep a copy of root), then use dlpkg method (incremental upgrade) to JB. If you use Asus full JB firmware, it's going to wipe out your root. Once you on JB, use OTA root keeper to restore root, then you need to unlock your device before you can install custom recovery (TWRP/CWM). From here on you can flash any custom rom that you like. I highly recommend TWRP, it works well with tf700. Some people do have issue with CWM.

To install a custom recovery you need to unlock your device, which will void your warranty. If,after unlocking, you want to have a way to recover from any software-induced brick situations, then BEFORE YOU UPGRADE, read the nvflash thread and get the required files from your device. You cannot do this once you upgraded!

I can take a few days or weeks for new devices to become unlockable - apparently Asus' unlocking server is always behind. Usually it helps to be patient and try again after a few days.

You can do that by unpacking the UpdateLauncher zip once (another zip is inside) and putting it onto a microSD card, then boot the tablet in recovery mode (hold down Volume-down while powering on). Some guides say that you must rename the zip to something specific, I don't know if that is still true. Beware: if you upgrade, you will lose the ability to ever use nvflash because the new bootloader is more locked down and can't be downgraded. Also you will lose root by flashing a complete firmware.

Came from the Prime to the Infinity and was hoping this device was smoother/faster and it seems to be even worse. Should I give up on Asus giving us good software? It's just frustrating having an S3 being so fast and smooth being a high end device and also having 4.1.1. Why the hell can't Asus get it right too?
Should I just unlock and get a custom rom on this? Is that the only way to get this tablet to be fast and smooth?
Sorry to butt in someones thread, but...Got my Infinity today at 11 AM.... Updated to JB, rooted, installed Titanium and all goodies.
Do not feel that it's any slower than Google Nexus 10.1 in no way. Ever screen, it's a less resolution per spec does not look any different.
Happy with it, great tab.

Yes, if you want your device to be fast and smooth you definitly need to unlock and install Cleanrom and Clemsyn kernel. Without them I probably throw mine in the trash.

Once unlocked, it is impossible to relock the bootloader. Traditional OTA will never work again -- you can, however, download the ROM update file from ASUS' website and lash it manually. I cannot think of a reason why you'd want full stock on your unlocked 700 instead of one of the faster and more streamlined custom ROMs, but you could.

I got a question firstly, have you installed a custom recovery because I unlocked a month before installing a custom recovery and probably would of asked the same question because I always get nervous using cmd. No after unlocking the boot loader you cannot receive stock ota's. You can receive cyanogen mod otas but not stalk. As said above you can always download the latest version from Asus' website and flash it using a microsd card. I personally would look into flashing cromi or cyanogen since the warranty is already gone. Just follow the guides carefully and good luck.

Thanks for that tip. I registered it and after that i could at least check for update one hour ago. I dont know if its because i registered it (i dont think so). I am trying to unlock it and to check for update 3 days now and i get the same connectivity error, so it must be asus server down. It also took a lot of time loading registration pages at asus website. It successfully checked for an update one hour ago, but now i cant check again, getting same network or server problems error. So lets wait to see if its really asus server. Anyone else is able to check for update?
ok thanks, i registered and right away i was able to unlock the bootloader
can someone tell me what recovery i should install, right now i'm running OFW 4.2.1

Thanks for that tip. I registered it and after that i could at least check for update one hour ago. I dont know if its because i registered it (i dont think so). I am trying to unlock it and to check for update 3 days now and i get the same connectivity error, so it must be asus server down. It also took a lot of time loading registration pages at asus website. It successfully checked for an update one hour ago, but now i cant check again, getting same network or server problems error. So lets wait to see if its really asus server. Anyone else is able to check for update?

thanks very much for the link, hmmm i tried the motochopper rooting toolkit, everything seems to complet ok but i don't think it's rooted hmmm
do you have SU or superuser in your app draw? If you do open it and update it if it prompts you then get rootchecker basic from the play store and run that.
thanks so much for your help dragon, i installe the rootchecker and it says i don't have the proper root , hmmm
I had the same problem. however I just manage to root. I used the rooting section from this guide:

I did a factory reset this launched twrp and it wiped return to factory
then followed the rooting section for unlocked BL root method.

thanks again dragon for your time and help
I still can't unlock, getting same error. I contacted Asus and unbelievably they answered that my s/n is unlocked. I don't know my tab' s "history" cause just bought it used. I have no message on the Asus bootscreen that it's unlocked. Is there any chance to be unlocked with no such massage? How can I know, any suggestions? What will happen if I try to flash twrp? Will I get just an error if bootloader is still locked, or will mess everything up and brick?
