[Q] Unlocking the bootloader on a new TF300T

Has anyone been able to unlock the bootloader on a new TF300T (serial no. starting with C9...) that shipped with JB already installed? I'm getting the "An unknown error occurs" message and wondering if it is the same for all the new TF300Ts.

Unlock
Did you use the unlock.apk from asus website?

Yes. I tried the Asus Unlock Utility V7 from the Asus Support website, but it gets an error and does not unlock. I think a lot of people are having similar problems, but I'm not sure. I'm wondering if it is related to the newer "C9..." range of serial numbers.

Mine starts with C9 and it worked for me.

Do you download the file with your tablet and then run it within the tablet?

Getting unlock error here also with Asus unlock app. Serial c9...anyone got Asus contact info?

Same problem here. Serial with C9 and I get the "Unknown error occurs..." thing. I've been trying every couple hours since I got it Monday (tried it on 10.4.2.9, 10.4.2.17, and now 10.4.2.18 that came out today) and same error every time. I've even wiped it a couple of different times to no avail.

It does not work on my tablet JB per loaded.
Just purchased from Best Buy, this is really a nice device.
Just ned to get it unlocked and rooted.

I downloaded to the PC then transferred to the tablet. Then installed the apk.

can you post / or email me the file you used? I have not been able to get the file i downloaded to work.

I'll PM you the link for the one I used. You'll have it shortly.
I had originally posted a download link for MediaFire that I had made but wasn't sure if the Mods would let it stay up so I removed it. Check your PM box, it's there. Hope it works for you.

So I called ASUS tech support about my bootloader unlock issue. Man, they are horrible. Totally unknowledgable and of no help. One guy thinks the apk is a driver and the tablet is a notebook. So I tried another tech support guy and he just puts me on hold for 20 mins to try to look for the apk on their website only to come back and tell me he can't find it.

Could you elaborate?
1) Where do you put the file? Internal SD? External SD? Exact Path?
2) How do you install? Boot into recovery and install?

It doesn't matter where you put it. APK files are (kinda) the android equivalent of a .exe on Windows. To install it, transfer it to your tablet somewhere you can find it, then open file manager, navigate to the apk file and open it. It should bring up the install dialog, (assuming you have unknown sources enabled) and install the app. Once installed open the app from the launcher or the drawer, go through the agreements and click the unlock button. It should work from there (it errors out at this point for me, but if it's going to work this is where the actual "Unlocking" will happen.)

At least you got people actually willing to help. When I called, The guy put me on hold for 3 min (after verifying EVERY single piece of information I filled out on the online form) then came back and told me the process voids my warranty (which I knew already) and said that this was primarily a "Warranty/support company" (his words not mine) and that they can't assist me in voiding my warranty. He was acting nice about it, but he acted as if the sole reason I was trying to do this was to void my warranty.

Thanks for grabbing that question Reffu.
I transferred it to my external SD and installed. The file is straight up apk so you don't need to be in recovery to install it. I just navigated to the SD with file manager, tapped on the apk and installed it.
You can transfer it to the internal too. It really doesn't matter where it's at. (Internal or external)
Edit:
I was connected to wifi when I unlocked my bootloader. Are you guys connected to wifi when you are trying to unlock? Don't know if it matters or not. Just saying.

I have contacted Asus as well. I sent mine in, already unlocked, because of a system board issue. It was an issue which came from the factory, but regardless, I unlocked it and voided the warranty, so I paid to have the board replaced and just got the unit back. Now I can't unlock either.
When I talked to a 'supervisor' I was told they would not help me with my issue because they do not support unlocking the device and will not tell you how to do it. I told him I KNOW HOW (dumbass), it's not working. Regardless, they wouldn't help at all. So now I have a repaired tablet which WENT OUT unlocked and came back without the ability to unlock. THANKS ASUS!!!
In all seriousness, Asus is renowned for having quality overclocking motherboards, vid cards, etc. to gain performance, yet they won't provide a tablet in the same manner, this is ridiculous.

Can this tablet be rooted without unlocking the bootloader? If so, is there a rom that use the stock kernel?
Just picked this tablet up and the version of JB install will not work with the Unlock apk.

As far as I'm aware, there is no root for Jelly Bean that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader, I've been looking and haven't found one yet .
Also, FYI even if you were rooted, you couldn't install a custom rom without an unlocked bootloader. Rooted means you have the ability to access system files and settings. Most (all?) custom roms are rooted, but at least on this tablet, you can't install a custom rom without an unlocked bootloader, even for those who managed to get root before Jelly Bean.

Okay, I spent some time this weekend looking for a root of build number 10.4.2.13 and was not able to find one.
Its looks like I am out of luck with unlocking the boot loader or rooting this tablet.
I will continue my research or return the tablet to BB.

Is there anyway to unlock the bootloader right now?

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 ......

That unlocker apk will work. I used it on a jellybeaned tf700 without issues. Just accept all the warnings. Fear not.

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.

I had the same problem with my tablet. I was on 4.1 and updated to 4.2 the bootloader was still unlocked but root was gone when 4.2 loaded. The developer options turns off when you update the OS so you have to go back into the settings, hit about tablet, then go down to the build number and tap it 7 (seven) times. Developer options will then become available. Go into them and make sure that the options you need for rooting are enabled, i.e. USB debugging. Then run motochopper and root will be available again.
This info is posted elsewhere on the forum but as this topic is not closed I figured it would be good to make sure it was posted here too.

Same issue here. Had it rooted under 4.1.2 updated to 4.2.1 and now the chopper can't root it. Pushes the SU app, but failed when it try to root.
Kage_

I'll just bump this to say I have the same issue. EVERY root method I've tried does not work. Motochopper, trying to flash a custom recovery. Nothing....

See this post. Assuming you are bootloader unlocked and on 4.2.1 this will work. It worked on my TF300T with an unlocked bootloader and 4.2.1 firmware. I even ran it *before* I got TWRP back on the device. BTW, make sure you use TWRP 2.5.0.0. 2.6.x.x doesn't recognize the boot partition on the 4.2 firmware. This is documented elsewhere in the Transformer forums here on XDA.

What about the newer method mentioned in the later parts of the motochopper thread?

I didn't try Vroot because it wasn't in English, despite the excellent post explaining it. I wasn't able to get Motochopper or the other method discussed to work.

I gave it a shot, to no avail. My bootloader is unlocked. I'm not sure what's going on here. When I opened up the program it says no device connected, though my Transformer is connected. Asus Sync also says it's not connected. But when I check my computer drives, "Asus Transformer Pad TF300T shows up... but it's not listed in my usb connections. I'm able to transfer files to and from the tablet. Man, I've never had such a tough time rooting an Android device.

Unknown sources has no effect.
Then you need to update your drivers. The easiest ones to use are the ones in the google sdk. I never had any luck with asus ones. The set I eventually ended up with work really well are attached below.

Great, thanks for posting that link! I'll give it a try when I'm back in town and post an update.

I'm also having trouble rooting, same build and 4.2.1, and the main problem is that SuperSU won't install properly, and manually moving the file won't work due to the fact that I don't have permission...
Anyone find a good solution yet?
I've rooted and installed custom roms on all my HTC phones, never had this much hassle getting it to work.
EDIT: Just got TWRP recovery installed, and SuperSU, using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
I followed the "installing TWRP-recovery" part a bit down, and that's it.

Bootloader is relocked and ASUS cannot help me

Hey folks,
hope you can give me any advise.
Unfortunately my TF700 got a corrupted Storage and nothing worked but fastboot.
I was finally able to flash stock rom via fastboot.
But now it seems the bootloader is locked, since i'm not able to flash a custom recovery.
On Boot there is a message that says: "no certificate to inject" an it boots into stock Android JB.
BUT: i want to flash a custom rom.
I already opened a call on ASUS but since 3 weeks they cannot solve the problem. The unlock tool always says that there is a network error, and does not unlock.
Thought it is not possible to relock the Bootloader, but it seems that i made it
Would be nice if anybody could help me with this.
Thx. _

I doubt very much that the bootloader is locked. Check on boot for the tiny text top left: The device is unlocked. It's not there??????
How do you try to flash a recovery?
Post your steps in detail and also check that it's a compatible recovery you are flashing.
While you're at it, also post your bootloader version.

I did some asking around and it would seem this can happen ..... :crying:
There have been cases where a larger android kernel can overflow the partition boundaries and wipe out the unlock token ...
This can also happen if a bad blob is flashed ......
Sorry for the bad news but if you dont have nvflash access and your unlock-token there is nothing that can be done .....
Thx Josh

Actually i flashed original latest blob from asus site via fastboot. And i think the bootloader was included.
But since i have no nvflash backup it seems i am lost in the locked boot loader.
Is there a way that ASUS could help me out?
Were there any cases where ASUS did help?
Thanks for your help

What happens when you try to flash a recovery from fastboot ?

Looks like flashing but fails with invalid state message.
After that stock rcovery is still present

Today after 3 weeks i got finally feedback from ASUS....yeah.
They said: that in their systems my tablet is now set as a locked one and i can try to use the unlock again.
But when i tried that there is still the unknown network error appearing.
So the unlock is still not working evem when asus set it as locked in their systems.
Could it be, that there is something more in my tab which is at a wrong state?

Gold news now!
After months stucking in a locked tablet with stock Firmware and all the lags while using it. The changes made by Google which forced asus to modify the unlock service let me now unlock the tab again....yeah.
Now i am back in business and already back to zombi pop with f2fs.
After a week oft using it i can confirm, that the tf700 has never been that responsive. Vera impressive rom with a great performance thanks for all your help.

I'm glad it worked out in the end.
My story is basically the same except I was advised to get an RMA and send the tablet to a service center. That is where the nightmare escalated. The service center said they did not help with unlocking, and they told me my tablet wouldn't boot and they would have to replace the motherboard (for $341).
When I wouldn't pay, they sent the tablet back. It booted just fine, and, suddenly the unlock tool worked. I wasn't aware of changes made by Google that you mention. I had to delete my Google account for the tool to finish.
Anyway, I too am happily running ZombiPop and am impressed with the performance.

Does the TF700 have to be registeredwith Asus in order to unlock the bootloader

Trying to unlock the bootloader on my new to me TF700, have both versions 7 & 8. I have the files in the Download folder on the tablet, not the SD card. Everytime I run either of the unlock files I get a "X App not installed" error. I then went to the Asus site and registered the TF700 and tried again getting the same message.

IDK - a bad download? Registering with Asus has nothing to do with it... Where did you get the apks?

Both from the Asus US site, I'm wondering if I have a mitch-matched MOBO issue and have to contact them.

That still should not prevent you from installing the app. I'll post a link to v7 when I get home

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman, IT WORKED! ! !
Can't believe 2 BAD files from Asus, your file got me pass the [X App not installed]
but then the wifi at my work blocked the Asus servers, so I thethered off my phone
BUT then my google password didn't work, removing the google account fixed that.
My TF700 (that I bought thinking it was a TF701) is UNLOCKED.
Next step TWRP
THANK YOU AGAIN ! ! !
NP

UPDATE:
I've got TWRP on it and will flash 7.1.2 on it tonight, I took a look at your Rooting tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
and will not be rooting my TF700, just flashing the ROM, SuperSU and GApps since flashing the ROM will root the tablet. Thanks again ! !
NP

Asus messed with that website so much, they may have mixed up some files
Glad I could help.
If you flash SuperSU, you have root. Just skip that step if you don't need root. The rom itself does not come with root build in.
I have been experimenting with flashing the rom without even gapps on the 700 in an effort to get the smoothest user experience possible (the 2G WiFi is becoming an issue..). I build an apk collection of my favorite apps on microSD and sideload those once the rom is flashed. Takes a bit of getting used to without Google framework, Play Store etc, but I like the result: Almost lag free tablet and pretty darn amazing battery life! Depending on how you use the tablet this may or may not be an option...

Thanks, got it up and running on KatKiss 7.1.2v27 now, using my TF201 dock, runs better, wifi is a little better, I don't get the wifi dropping out like the TF201 did and yeah the 2.4GHz is starting to be a problem compared to the 5GHz on my phone. Thanks again. Next stop a 701...

I thought I was the only one left who wanted to install a new ROM on a 5 year old tablet.... I am going for the CROMi resurrected, but got stuck on the bootloader unlocking. Got the network error problem, despite being on the web. Deleting google accounts did not work so gave up in disgust and shut the thing down.... Decided to log a call with ASUS so registered on their site providing my TF700T serial number, etc. Four or so hours later, I thought let's power my TF700T up again and try again. By low and behold, on the second try it unlocked! I don't know if this has anything to do with me registering my device but it certainly was strange that it worked. Next up installing the TWRP, hopefully that will go a bit smoother....

Decided to log a call with ASUS so registered on their site providing my TF700T serial number, etc. Four or so hours later, I thought let's power my TF700T up again and try again. By low and behold, on the second try it unlocked! I don't know if this has anything to do with me registering my device but it certainly was strange that it worked. Next up installing the TWRP, hopefully that will go a bit smoother....

My problem was the file from Asus wasn't working, user: berndblb uploaded the correct file, I d/l'ed it and it worked the 1st time. Big THANKS. I'm looking for a 701 now.
