Hi there,
I have a TF300T which I am trying to unlock. I downloaded the Asus APK file, and initially it did not work. After a bit of troubleshooting I was able to get it to work by registering my device on the Asus website.
However, even though the application ran, the bootloader is not unlocked.
Code:
C:\Program Files\android_sdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x0b05 getvar all

(bootloader) partition-type:userdata: ext4
all:
finished. total time: 0.104s
Each time I run the Unlocking application from Asus, I get a toast message saying "Device is unlocked". I take this to mean that the APK has detected somehow that the bootloader is unlocked and doesn't attempt to unlock the device.
I tried using an older version of the Unlock tool (Version 7 instead of 8) but it's the same problem.
Has anyone had this issue before? Any ideas?

I'm not home, if no one helps you by time I get home I will. But I believe there's a modified apk or an apk not from Asus here on the forums for unlocking the boot loader. That's what I used when I unlocked my tf300t, not the one from Asus.
Edit. I just saw you said you used v7 and 8, don't remember if it's needed but is USB debugging on?

After some quick reading, if I understood correctly some people weren't able to unlock till a day or 2 later, and the Asus registration was suspected to be the issue like it takes a day or something to register in their system. Wait till tomorrow if you can and try again and if it still doesn't work I'll see what else I can find.

When you boot up your device does it say Your device is unlocked in the top left? If it does, then it actually is unlocked.

Actually fastboot doesn't see our bootloader status, so only hint is "device is unlocked" line during boot.
No, unfortunately I do not see the message when booting up. And all attempts to flash an unsigned Recovery image fail with the message

C:\Program Files\android_sdk\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

I have tried flashing TWRP, and have tried a couple of versions intended for 4.2, none have worked, all with the same error.
My suspicion is that the Unlock tool only works one time per device. Mine failed during the initial unlock and now my device is flagged as unlocked on the Asus servers and cannot be unlocked again. This makes sense, otherwise people could spoof/change their device serial number and a cracked version of the Unlock tool could be made which would not void your warranty on the Asus side.
I feel like my only hope is to contact Asus, however I don't feel hopeful about that. This is the sort of thing which makes me not recommend Asus.
If they just unlocked the bootloader, without the need to phone home, it would be a lot better.
Well I contacted Asus 24 hours ago... still nothing back from their Email support.
The Unlock tool is giving now me a different error now, which is different than the usual "Device is unlocked" message from before.
The message is "An unknown error occurs...". From what I understand, this happens if the Serial Number is not in their Database, or if their server is down.. or if there is a local network problem.
I will keep trying it periodically.
First Asus response today
Hi, we're very glad to help you. For this issue, I have emailed your problem to our BU(technical department) in Taipei,I will give you the answer as soon as I receive it and I have written down your checking number.
So sorry for waiting and causing your inconvenience.
If you not get any reply from asus within 48 hours, please feel free to contact us again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

So in summary, use the vip.asus.com support site to email Asus if this happens to you!

Hi guys,
I have resolved.
I confirm that the reburbished tablet isn't right registered on Taipei Asus's server.
You must contact your Asus country support and ask to update this serve with your right serial number.
My italian support good ask me a screenshot but after they help me without problem.
The day after you can unlock the tablet.
Have a good enjoy with your unlocked tablet
device tracker is down
I want to use the device tracker excuse since my last 3 vip support tickets got denied /closed with no resolution over a year ago but now the device tracker website has been phased out. Any advice? Help! I won't give up.

Hi everyone,
i recieved yesterday my Moto G, 16GB,Retailversion, bought and live in Germany, bought used. Everything works well on it. This phone comes with KITKAT 4.4.2 with an unlocked bootloader, CMW and Superuser.
The phone is resettet, all clear. The only thing is, that the IMEI=0
The phone is on the latest german 175.44.1.falcon_umts.RETAIL.en.DE
Build Number: KLB20.9.10-1.9.1
If i am move with this phone the signal will be 1 to 5 or loss. If this phone is placed on my desk it chows the whole day 3 to 5 signalbars.
I tried to use this command in terminal or adb: echo 'AT +EGMR=1,7,"XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"> /dev/pttycmd1 but no success.
I have currently no backup from this phone, i have the IMEI of this phone.
Who can help me to write my original IMEI back to phone? This is quite urgent. PLEASE HELP ME OUT.
Thanks
How much did you pay for it you can try flashing stock ROM or firmware to see if you can recover imei

I got quite the same problem, tried that many times, flashed different stock and custom roms, radio images, nothing worked..
Quite bad to have such a great "Tablet".. I'd really need to use the normal phone functions..
i think we need a imei backup from someone and change the imei to our original one. WHO can help us please?
Some files are missing in root, same was with wifi before, i found a file, that changes the state, but phone signal doesn't comming back without help.
From fastoboot you can get:
Fastboot getvar imei (you can view you imei)
Fastoboot oem writeimei your imei. (Take original imei from box)
You must have bootloader unlocked

Try using :

Got same problem since three weeks.
Tried re flashing stock, changing radio, break fastboot... Nothing worked, i was going to give it back to Motorola but i see many people got same problem so I think i'll wait a bit for a potential solution.

And
writeimei isn't supported in fastboot
I was thinking if there is a way to physically remove battery from Moto G, haven't found any in google
Did you flash your phone without Sim Card?
If i understand this statement right, he had the same problem while flashing his phone without sim card.

I solved the problem, place to charge the phone, let him take some of the load and flash the original ROM, after that flash CM11, and run perfectmente, I think at first it was because I had done without the SIM, the second time you make with the SIM sunset ...

I tried flashing always with SIM Card on it, i even changed Cards but still 0 imei.
Maybe this is compatible with Moto G?!
The go back to stock without SIM, skip all and going home, boot off, reinsert another SIM isn't working.
will try other solutions, i hope

Make sure that you have a bone fide data cable. I encountered similar errors and wasted a lot of time early in my unlocking/rooting efforts.
I bought this cable from Amazon for around $5: "Motorola SKN6238 MicroUSB Data Cable", and it has been great.
Good luck ...

It's been a very long time since I unlocked my Q, but are you putting in the proper code? From your command prompt output above, it seems like you did not put in the unlock code.
First he needs the "oem_unlock_code" from the PQ, before he gets the correct unlock code from Motorola.
I think that the first thing already fails and he is not able to continue with the Motorola site.
I remember hardly that there was another way of unlocking the bootloader, but I don't remember the name.
Something only for Motorola devices I think.
edit: Was it "motochopper"? I've never used it, so I'm not sure.

Yes, motochopper. You could try that OP, as a way to unlock the device - albeit unofficially.
Since the OP is running 4.1.2, my guess is that motochopper won't work (because that exploit was probably repaired in 4.1.2), but one if its successors might.

This is weird.
When and where did you get this device?
@carl0 : It's indeed very strange that get_unlock_data doesn't work on your device.
But I'm pretty sure that the unofficial bootloader unlock tool Motopocalypse by Dan Rosenberg will work: http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2013/04/08/motorola-bootloader-unlocking/
Motopocalypse requires the device to be rooted, which can be easily achieved e.g. by geohot's towelroot: https://towelroot.com/

Hi all,

You need to turn off always scanning in wifi settings there is a software problem that Sony know about and are going to release a update it's stopping the device from into deep sleep.

See Sony support forum there's a message/reply on a thread in the xa section stating that Sony know about the software problem and they will fix it in the next update though there's no eta on it yet. Following everything closely as I going to replace my trusty m2 with a xa in a couple of weeks.

I think it'll be unlocked Bootloader root only due to drm-verity introduced by Sony on z3+. I'll know more when I get mine
I found working method to unlock it,even without DATA wipe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSNDSyeys2g&authuser=0
PS : KingRoot PC and app ,KingoRoot,+ few more stuck or failed on 30 % while rooting.
I will release new boot and TWRP recovery before this week-end, all is working fine but I need more time to check all one more time. Your will need unlocked bootloader and 33.2.B.2.35 firmware.
Edit: Sony released 33.2.B.2.73 open source archive yesterday, will update my work before release.

What about drm restore fix? +ta keys backup? For bravia engine x-reality and probably camera too. Guessing locked Bootloader root days are finished. Hopefully pick mine up tomorrow or Thursday latest firmware includes new kernel+wifi bug fix
I don't see any changes before and after unlock, Bravia engine is present, no visible differences in camera quality, all Sony apps are working like on first day (TrackID too) . Like on other devices you lose Xperia Care, OTA updates and PC Compagnon updates. I'm not a dev and it must be confirmed after release, for now it's just my feedback. Other information, SELinux stay in enforcing mode after root

bravia engine x-reality relies on drm/ta keys why I've always left my bootloader locked on my M2 I know updates won't install not a problem i will need to update my flashtool though as I'm still using 9.18.6 as it just seems to work better I take it this device works with Flashtool OK then as with C4 +c5 mediatek powered Xperia devices it hard bricks them. I don't think I'll be able to cope long without root anyway I'll certainly help where I can once I get mine
you have the boot.img for us? how'd you root? i appreciate your work btw but I'm anxious to get this thing rooted lol need xposed and a couple modules ..... uhhhhh nvm just read the previous post lol. ugh ill hold on lol thanks again
Can you give to me link Flashtool V0.9.22.3. I can't find it.

With my little knowledge (I'm not a dev) I have successfully ported TWRP on the Archos Platinum 50 and rooted it.
and now i'm trying to do the same with the XA.
The bootloader was unlocked with official procedure but now I have a problem when trying to hotboot in fasboot mode: FAILED (remote: oem unlock is false)
When trying :
Maybe a bad unlocked Bootlader?

Embrath,
How did you do it man.Please share.I am stuck with xperia c4 dual without recovery mode.the fastboot gives me a false oem unlock.Shed some light
i tried to install the newest 5.1.11 in full ( as i am magisk rooted, twrp installed, and bootloader unlocked). i kept getting system ui crashes over and over and eventually, after so many, the phone just powers down by itself. I had tried clearing cache after going back into twrp. Rebooted. Same ui issue. Then i decided to restore a backup in twrp i had made a few weeks ago stored on internal memory. This was a bad idea. It said it restored successfully but upon reboot, i only get fastboot now. i think it is communicating with fastboot but when i try to fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0 (or 3.2.2-0) i get, "remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error". I do not know what to do and am hoping you guys can figure out how to fix this. Any attempt to enter recovery via buttons results in fastboot booting. restart is also fastboot.
This is what my phone says:

no, but if you can't even boot to TWRP then you have nothing left to save at this point.
Try booting the latest twrp (3.2.3.0) before giving up and wiping. If you can get to fastboot, you're not bricked.

thanks for the suggestions but no dice.
According to your first posting, the phone knows that the boot partition on both your slots are a mess and can't load - you need the fastboot rom to make the phone start over and try again. Sorry buddy - I would like to save your data but it doesn't seem feasible at this point.

So as it turns out that method worked using the bat file flash all fastboot. Though, not at first. When it first rebooted after the bat file finished flashing. system UI was still crashing. When you initially run the bat file at the beginning, it asks if you want to delete your data. First time around i said no, just to see what it would do. Well it booted, but kept getting that system ui crash that I had in the beginning of all this mess. I rebooted and this time chose to erase data and then it re-flashed all again (same bat file). Turns out, when it booted, same deal, system UI crash. So this time i was looking things up while the crashes where happening and then it just rebooted on its own (as it does with a number of system UI crashes in succession). When it came up it was that Chinese menu (which i assume to be download mode or something). Anyway, i chose English and it's a menu to clear dalvik and cache, system settings reset, and one other i can't remember. i did system settings then dalvik and finally, when i rebooted, it was like it was booting for the first time with no crashes. Only thing i can figure is that setting in the bat file at first launch actually didn't erase user data since when it booted, all my icons where there in the background. doing it "on device" in download mode seems to have worked. I am only adding this information as an f.y.i.. Thanks again for all your help, guys.

Oh, ok. Funny thing is, I had never seen what that looked like as I immediately installed twrp from the time I bought it. Makes sense, though I still wonder why it booted to stock recovery after systemui crashing. Unless it senses the crashes and does that by default to clear system settings and data for a successful boot?
i unlocked the bootloader and then unknowingly i gave command " fastboot erase all ".
now the device is not powering on and not even responding,no screen on (even when inserting charger).
can anyone suggest a solution??

Don't take strictly right but I've done it some time ago on a Snapdragon phone . For this you absolutely need for Motorola One Vision Qfil files and Flashone app for Windows . The whole process is very simple but finding proper Qfil files ROM is a pain in the butt .
If you find these files somehow , anywhere , anytime don't forget to share .

Try the adb command ` fastboot devices` and see if you get a serial number.
I'm also in this same situation. Been looking all around for solutions but all i come across are fixes for qualcom devices. Even all the blankflashing posts are qualcom. My guess is that we need to find software that'll work with exynos chips that isn't samsung. Adb, fastboot and mfastboot commands don't work because in its current state the device is only recognized as "Exynos9610"
I have the same problema. Im trying to follow this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/guide-repair-hard-bricked-devices-t3573865/amp/
My problem is that my computer is Windows 10 and it can't load the Exynos drivers, I hope that you have good look with that. You should try to change the cfg archive to load bootloader.
Found something intresting on "lolinet" today. A "blankflash" for kane.
Could be worth a try for sure, if you're hardbricked.
I have not tried it so I've no idea if this is legit.
The procedure would probably be something like:
Unzip all files.
Install drivers (ImageWriterUSBDriver_1113_00.exe).
Open "Multidownloader_64bit_1.4.1.exe".
Connect device to usb and let multidownloader detect it.
In the "box", browse for the "usbbooting.cfg" that is present in the kane_blankflash and hit start.
My guess is that it's supposed to reboot to fastboot once it's done writing the files so that you can reflash full firmware from fastboot, like it is with blankflash for other moto devices.
Let us know how it goes if anyone tries it.

Anyone can helpme?
Okay, I know the last message here was almost 2 years ago, but I'm just here to confirm, that I've tried this blankflash and indeed, it works.
So I've rewritten both bootloader A and B slots with /dev/zero and tried to reboot. Of course, nothing happened, but the device was detected and booted into fastboot. Everything was working there. Than just flashed bootloader_a and bootloader_b and it booted like nothing happened.

So here you have probably broken UFS (device's internal storage). If the files you try to flash are signed, but you still can't load them, then it means, you have corrupted memory. With this, go to service, they could try to replace UFS chip with another one. From what I can see, your bootloader is locked, so try to unlock it and then flash the firmware, maybe this will work.
