asus says there is no way to relock but we will see if the devs here cant figure something out
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.

AFAIK the unlock tool requires an internet connection, this is for the purpose of notifying ASUS on what tablets have been unlocled

Check up with the Prime forum - they have much more experience with this issue. AFAIK, unlocking means your on your own and ASUS means it.

Is there a way to obtain root without an unlock? Sorry new to this game still reading
I have been enjoying the stock asus rom for now and just want root access but don't feel voiding the warranty less than 24 hours after buying it from best buy.
Really want to try the 6 axis controller for some emulating and who wouldnt love some overclocking (from what i have read this is possible on stock kernel)

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...

Hello everyone
I am a galaxy note2 owner. Read great reviews on this so I chose this instead of Note 10.1.
Anything I should know before I root it?
Is it just like rooting my Note? Just use odin and a costume firmware?

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!

You have to take a shot at rooting and unlocking, without them, I won't able to use my tf700, my kids actually refused to use it. After Cleanrom, they love it!
Needed to update superuser to get root.
But now it wont unlock!
Wjhen i click the unlock device it gives me some network error!
It seems that asus server wont let me unlock.
I keep getting the message in screenshot.
Ive manually downloaded the stock jb zipfile from asus site. How can I flash it to my device? Idont have cwmrecovery.

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.

I encountered a similar issue with another tab. I moved on from there to the TF700 only to relive the same experience. Next time I will do my research before buying another tab. I paid for the tab and I want to have complete control to 'abuse' it!
I've only had my TF700 for less then a week and I know already like my Galaxy S2&S3 I'm going to be rooting and installing a custom ROM on my TF700, strange that I didn't feel this way with my old Nexus 7 but man this TF700 is sweet but suffers from lag at times to where I need to do the Power/volume Down cleanout at least once a day and that helps but not enough...
As with my Galaxy S3 I don't want the newest wildest ROM rather one that is close to stock as possible YET is faster, cleaner and doesn't bog down... The double and triple taps to accomplish tasks or while browsing is driving me crazy already, I am totally surprised by this seeing this is the top of the line tablet and as good or better then the iPad hardware/processor wise..
So any suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!! Now I'm off to start reading up on unlock and root procedures
PS: I am believe my TF700 is up to date (Running Stock JB ver. 4.1.1)...

Interesting sdbags in the little reading up I have done that does seem to be the most logical choice.. Reminds me of KyanROM I'm running on my GS3, well other then one is ICS and the other is JB lol... But both look to be stripped down/slightly jacked up stock ROMS, I always find these types have practically little conflicts with apps and include more customazation without taking a battery hit, speaking of lol.. Are you running CleanROM now and has your battery life increased or decreased?? Obviously that isn't as important with the Tablets(you won't miss calls if you get in trouble battery wise with a Tab). Also is there any Lag with CleanROM?? It is my biggest gripe and THE reason I'm looking to Root and Flash

Do a bit more reading up on the ROM development work for the Infinity.
You'll most likely be very happy stepping away from a stock ROM tablet and going with a custom version.

It can hardly be argues that sbdags is impartial in the matter -- I'm sure you are aware he is the developer of CROMI?
That being said, CROMI is one hell of a kick-*** ROM, and I'm currently running it myself -- it's VERY good in all regards, be it battery life or performance and fluidity. A lot of that depends on the kernel you use it with -- Clemsyn's 650 versions are really good candidates.
A little bit of the lag is still there, admittedly, but that's hardware-related and no developer can remedy that. CleanROM saved the 700 for a lot of users, and CROMI takes that a step further. Props to sbdags, obviously!

I actually didn't realize SBDags was the Dev for CleanROM lol... Seems to be a very popular ROM indeed!!
Haven't had much time to read up on unlocking and rooting yet but I'm seeing what version OS I have is quite important to how to root, I have JB 4.1.1 and I understand rooting and unlocking is different then those who had ICS..
Thank you for the Kernel/ROM combination suggestion, haven't had to deal with that much with my GS3 but with my old GS2 getting the Kernel/ROM Combo right was pretty tricky, sometimes different modems had to also be flashed to get it right..
Well after some reading here it looks a bit more complicated then I imagined to root and flash my TF700 compared to my phones...
is this correct:
First I need to get ICS Version for my TF700 off Asus site, put it on a microcard and flash back to ICS..
Then unlock, root and install RootLock.
Then update to JB.
Check and make sure my Root is still intact.
Finally install CleanROM..
CORRECT??

If you plan to unlock anyway, you can take a shortcut: Unlock, flash TWRP via fastboot from your PC, install CleanROM.

TWRP _is_ a recovery for flashing stuff, and CleanROM is pre-rooted, so you don't need to root it. And if you decide to install a non-rooted ROM, you can still use TWRP to flash a Superuser app from a zip to get root.

The tool Thats_OK pointed you toward is probably the same as you found, and the same as for the TF201 Prime and TF300T. I guess ASUS like KISS principles, hehe. It should work for JB as wel, IF you get some cooperation from the ASUS unlock server side. Apparently a lot of people have had trouble unlocking due to their device's serial number not being in the database. That's probably the biggest hurdle to overcome in the process.

adb/fastboot is nothing but a few .exe command. All you have to do is download Android SDK on your PC and install it like other software. During the install, just select Android packages (there are many in the option), should be only 2. After that there is a script (its a .bat file) to install custom recovery. This script will kick off adb and fastboot command so you automatically, all you have to do is double click on the script while connects your device to your pc. Once you have custom recovery, you home free.

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 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 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
Sorry for this stupid question. I try to find an answer here, but it seems no answer or impossible.
Are there any method to OTA after unlocking TF700, even I have to go back to lock device?

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.

Also if you just like that 'stock' feel, you can always get the ODEX'd version as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107271. If you would just prefer the stock apps, those are available as a mod too here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059180. Hope that helps.

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.
