I had the loose screen problem with my 1st TF700. Got a replacement, but then I couldn't unlock it..
It has been allmost a month now, and it still persists.
Any of you know how long people waited the first time this occured?
Is this just because Asus is too lazy to update the program with the newer product serials?
Regards,
I just replaced my first TF700 with a new one and I didn't have any issues unlocking the new one, which is a C7 serial number.
What does your serial number start with? just curious if it really has to do with the newer/older serial number or not...

Hmm, wierd..
My S/N starts with C70K. Don't know if that's the new or old
I'm getting that same message too.. I wonder if emailing them would help
I had a Prime. Unlocked it. It had a screen issue. Got it repaired. Couldn't unlock again. Many, many folks (maybe the majority) with Primes who were repaired weren't ever able to unlock. Asus doesn't warrant the unlock tool or support it. Their attitude is, if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't.
Tien was very apologetic to me but not helpful at all.
What the.. So that means I need to get a 2nd replacement just to get unlocked?
That's just sad..
I'll try to send an email, and see what they have to say about this.
What a scam by Asus - release stock firmware that sucks and then void all warranties when you unlock in order to get a properly working tablet!
If the damn stock firmware worked correctly to begin with, we wouldn't have to unlock the bootloader in order to install a custom ROM!
Sorry - moment of frustration there!

Is it impossible to create or develop an unlocking tool for the tf700?

Haven't heard anything yet, and it's been 24+ hours..
God, it's frustrating.. A device with this potential, and software which seems like it's been tossed together in under a week..

What blasphemy!
I always install a custom ROM no matter how good the stock is. Even if the stock rom is PERFECT, I will still install a custom rom.

Someone posted that they had the same problem and complained loudly enough that their complaint was "elevated" to the next level, and then mysteriously, they were able to unlock.

Hahah, I see.
Got a reply from ASUS today:
[ME]
Why am I not able to unlock the bootloader of my device with the Unlock
Device Tool?
[ASUS]
Unlocking your eee-pad will cause side effects. It might make your eee-pad
unstabile, and it voids the warranty.
Therefore, we do not recommend to unlock the bootloader of your eee-pad.
But what is happening when you try to unlock the bootloader, any error
messages or so?

[ME]
I'm aware of that. But I rather want a device with a custom ROM I can use
normally before jellybean arrives, 'cause currently the stock ROM is very
dissapointing..
I attached an image showing the error I get.
Thanks for the reply!

Hi again
As long as you use the right unlock tool for this model, it should work.
Have you tried to first take a factory reset of the unit, before performing the unlock tool?

Factory reset seems to be their answer to everything, lol!
But at least they didn't said that Unlock is not supported by Asus...so i see some progress here

True that.
I didn't try the step with factory reset before unlocking again, 'cause I'm heading to the shop where I bought it to get it replaced..
2nd pad with loose screen, clicking sound, and this one also had light bleed.
Btw, have any of you noticed the .txt-file in the internal storage called "Unlock Time" or something? I opened the file, and it was written the date and time of my last unsuccessful unlocking-attempt Is this file created only if the unlocking fails?

No, i had that file after i successfully unlocked my device.
Bump. I'm getting a slightly different error message: "Failed to unlock your device. Please try again later." I tried for about a month with the last one I had, finally exchanged it a few days ago, and the new one is giving me the same message. The last one was in the C7 series, this one is C8.
Did anyone have any luck dealing with support?
Hi, Im lost in these topics about this problem. I got Asus TF700T and I want to root. But when I tried to Unlock this tablet I got this message:
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?

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.
Basically,
WiFi on my tablet will not turn on. Bluetooth will not turn on. Device is completely stock, running .25 update. Anyway to unlock the bootloader like this?

Do you mean downloading the OTA's from the ASUS website? I just did the update to 10.4.4.25 by downloading it from ASUS and placing it on the internal storage. Then it came up with an "update available" message and I ran it that way. Is this what you mean? This is the only form of updating/flashing I have done on this tablet.

Yes, that's a full rom update. So your wifi showed that it connected to your router. If you tab and hold down on your router connection, then select advance option, is it set "none' for proxy and "dhcp' for network? Also can you "turn off" wifi??
No no, I manually put the firmware update on the tablet via USB. You can not turn on or off wifi on the tablet, it is forever stuck at "Wifi turning on"

OK, you did the full upgrade and it's still not working, I think it's time to give Asus a call. I suggest to get a replacement before you unlock the device.

Hello, I am just wondering if any of you guys received a firmware upgrade recently.
I upgraded to this firmware which I believe was built early this month and it seems like it can't be rooted and my Google play keeps on crashing.
I did some searches and there seems to be no results regarding tf700 and this build. Anyone?

Looks like they are doing a new release for the TF700 which is not unexpected seeing as they just did one for the TF300 and ME301 as well. The same problem exists on those two devices. Asus have closed the root loophole motochopper has been using. As of now there is no known root method other than unlocking.
What waste of their time...instead of fixing things like the lag, on screen keyboard output and browser compatability they get all paranoid about someone fixing it for them...
Duhhh....

S'alright, unlock and flash my CROMi-X 5 which is based on their later 10.6.1.27.1 release anyway
@sbdags
When I get mine back, if it's fixed, I intend to do just that might be the only good way to get any use of my 700!
you won't be let down by cromi 5 beta

So, does anyone have a changelog for this or know if it's possible to keep root with Voodoo OTA and this update?
On the other hand, I may be sending my tablet to ASUS for repairs. If they update to this firmware, does factory reset revert to an older version I can root without unlocking?
Thanks!

I have sent mine in for digitizer repairs...so I'm sitting here worried about the same thing...I hope they don't flash my stuff..as of this moment, I don't think there is a way back.
Motorola did this to me with a Photon 4G phone right before they said they wouldn't be updating the OS beyond 2.3 they OTA'd my phone so I can't put a ROM on it. Guess what, no mo moto for this dude and now there won't be any more Asus either, pretty soon I won't be buying anything but I'll have a lot of money!

I recently got mine back from RMA for a digitizer repair and they didn't touch the OS or f/w install. And no problems with the repair - went very well overall.

Thanks for the post, sdbags. :good: I've been struggling with Motochopper ever since I got the OTA a day ago. I thought I was doing something wrong, and have been ripping out my hair. You have saved an old man's sanity.
And I was soooo happy to see that I had gotten and OTA and my build was now 10.6.1.14.10, up from 10.6.1.14.8. Ah well.. just have to wait for another motochopper. Anyway, thanks again. :highfive:

Hi to all,
I´ve just update my TF700T to the latest firmware JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 but all goes wrong.
First, every app I´ve installed has been stopped, no one works. Every time that i want to launch an app, appears the message "sorry, the XXXX app has stopped...", the same with a lot of processes: "sorry, the process XXXX has stopped"
Second, I try to fixit rebooting the pad, but evrery time I reboot it, or shut off and then power on it, is the same: "android is updating/upgrading: optimizing nn applications of mm"
What should I do, i´m desperate my TF700T is unusable.
I´m root, not unlocked. I activate the survival mode in the SuperSu app to try to mantain the root.
Thank you very much in advanced.
update:
I made a cold reset, wipe data and nothing works. Now I can´t enter on the system, because when I need to configure my google account, i receive a message the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
I also try made a RCK, but i got the android with the red triangle with the exclamation inside.

I managed to fix this by following "Alternative Firmware update Method" in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28374043&postcount=1
You may download 10.6.1.14.8 from Asus web site, downgrade the device, root it if you want to, and then apply OTA upgrade again.
