[Q] How to unroot locked Asus? - Asus Transformer TF700

Hello,
I want to unlock my TF700T. Unfortunately i have "unknow error occurs". I've read that it is quite popular. The ****ty asus service in EU cannot help me with that, but i've read that the device cannot be rooted to be unlocked. So i want to unroot it to unlock it after that. I've found a lot of unrooting methods but all of them need the tablet to be unlocked... I'm fuc****ing tired with that stock **** they gave me and want to install new ROM. PLEASE HELP ME. I BEG YOU. I've lost 10 hours for that.
Also i cannot even use my Stock RCK because the droid is lying dead with exclamation mark on a red triangle and below is "error".
Sorry for my english and looking forward to your answers.
PS.
Asus service changed my motherboard before.

Easy!
Go to the asus website - support. Download the latest firmware for your SKU, unzip and drop it in to the root folder on your internal or external sd. Reboot to the bootloader, choose RCK with volume up and it should set you back to asus stock, unrooted.

Thank You,
I had some problem with MicroSD but finally did it. Now i'm unrooted but still have problem with unlocking. What to do?
Thanks in advance

Keep trying - turn off google double verification if you have it on. Some people had to try many times to unlock before it took.

Good luck with this! I've been using the unlock tool everyday for about 3 months, still not unlocked and Asus won't help me either.
Sure would be nice if someone could find a way to circumvent the Asus unlock tool....there are 100's of us wishing to unlock....

UNLOCKED!!!
Contact ASUS tech (even outside USA and CANADA - i'm from Poland). They will tell you to **** off. Then contact them again and again and again. I've send them 10 e-mails in 4 hour. They call me today in the morning and asked me about MAC address and voilà - i can unlock.
Remember to send them logcat from unlock:
> D/KeyBoxService(10158): === StatusCode: SC_UNAUTHORIZED!
>
> D/KeyBoxService(10158): === OTA BEGIN
>
> E/KeyBoxService(10158): === Connection to wvdrm asus com refused
>
> D/KeyBoxService(10158): === Retry after 600 seconds.
>
> D/KeyBoxService(10158): === OTA END
And send them info that your motherboard was changed and it is ASUS fault that you can't unlock - because your motherboard is probably changed.
If that doesn't help write them that you can't log in "ASUS device tracker" - because you probably can't.
Send a lot of e-mails, call them, yell at them, threat them that they are breaking the law and that will help.
After that - they need only your MAC address and serial number (serial of the device - not the docking station) to fix the problem.
Good luck, i'm going to install my first rom without useless ****
And once again- sry for my english

Picture someone working on your car's engine and narrating every single step he's taking. That's what a logcat does about the processes running in Android.
First grab this nifty tool and install ADB and drivers on your PC: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
Once you have ADB working, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378491

Use that one which i used. I've also found it on internet. It's no matter. But remember to put "http" before wvdrm asus com and "." in spaces. I can't send links on XDA because i'm a new member

PS
TF700T without that stock shi***t is much, much, much better. It is like completely new device. So push that assholes from ASUS and unlock

Is this what I'm trying to get from adb logcat?

No one here will be able to help you regarding the unlock tool. The serial number I don't know. For the tool, look a this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187777

The only way to unlock your device is to use the Asus Unlock Tool. Some people have to run a few times in order for the tool to work. Sometime their server is down so you can keep trying for a few more times to make sure that is the case. Also you may need to turn on the "Unknown Source" in your security setting and double check that your network is working properly. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

"Unknown serial number" sounds like a software defect that could be related to your inability to unlock. There is a partition on the internal storage (mmcblk0p5) that should contain your serial number and MAC address - the MAC address is sent to the Asus server to unlock. Maybe in your case this partition doesn't contain correct data.

how do I get into this data , and is it possible to add info , or is it better to rma tablet to asus for repair
I checked again - the partition actually contains sensor calibration data, the serial number, the chip UUID, and another number of unknown purpose (ISN) - apparently not the MAC address, unless it's derived from one of these.
To get access to the partition, you must be rooted. But if you want to unlock, maybe your best option is to try to get a replacement from the seller.

Unlock Error - Need Asus HQ Contact

Could you help me please?
I've got the "Command Failed" error in Asus Device Tracker + "Unknown error" in Asus Unlock Tool V8/V7.
It's been two month that I'm in contact with Asus Support.
They told me twice that "it is now fixed; try again and it should work now".
It is still not working.
1 - Do you know a fix for theses errors and can you give it to me?
2 - Could you give me the mail of some Asus HQ engineer or similar so they can REALLY update their database?
Up!
Any help please?
Problem Solved Today!
After 4 months of struggling with Asus Support they did the necessary!
My tablet is now unlocked!
I will put Katkiss on it and hopefully gite a second life!
If you got the same problem just ask Asus support again and again to do the necessary.
CAUTION : I did never mention to Asus that I wanted to unlock.
I talked only about the "Asus Device Tracker".
Fixing the Asus Device Tracker fixed the Unlock Problem.

FRD-AL10 / Full Stock Rom needed

Hey Guys,
can somebody upload a full-zip from Honor FRD-AL10.
I damaged my micro-SD and lost all my backups.
Actually I am on FRD-AL10C00B135.
I know there is B136 available, but I don't get it offer.
Also I found out, other things are not working well.
I would like to do a full reset, which won't work via erecovery.
Thanks a lot for help!

Baidu is notorious for its download software for big files. If you have problems with that, you can install Firefox and a plugin called User Agent Switch, switch your Firefox user agent to IE3.0 and visit baidu again, then you can use download software, like IDM to download big files freely, without its b*s download manager...

Hi,
I am not a dev and my knowledge on flashing and rooting is only from reading posts. Can I ask for a little advice and maybe instructions? Is it possible the rom from link can help with my situation described below?
I bought honor 8 frd al10 from china. The sim doesn't initiate. I firstly loaded android wear from play store to pair with my Huawei Watch. A message popped up saying 'this phone was flashed with unsupported config for companion. you must reflash it as either signed/user or unsigned/userdebug'. I tried to get help from seller but that's no use and they referred me to xda. They say my rom is EU. In the settings, the build is FRD-C900B120. IMEI and MEID are showing as unknown. There is no Baseband version showing. I am not an expert but I know this ain't right. After watching some of the videos, I used ADB to get to fastboot. It says device unlocked. This is where i get stuck and don't know what else to do. I simply want this phone to work as it is intended to. Help, please.
Edit: I forgot to add that reset to factory settings does not work. goes to 13% and says failed.
Also, when I type in a code in dialler to get product ID to get bootloader unlock code from Huawei, nothing happens so I am stuck if the bootloader is not unlocked.
There is no OEM unlock option in the dev options.

It looks like your phone and your ROM are in some twisted status: they are not match.
If you really use AL10 from China, there is a method to fully restore your phone to original status (AL10 original ROM). But I have to remind you the risk first, backup all your contacts to PC/GoogleContacts/Exchange before you proceed.
If you are ready, go to this post below, follow the instructions on 2nd post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/honor-8-rooted-twrp-modaco-rom-unable-t3462039
1. Download AL10 stock rom from my Mega link.
2. Extract necessary files using method above.
3. Follow the rest of instructions.
Now you fully go back to Stock AL10 phone as when it was sold in China and you can start to work from there.
If you don't like China stock ROM, what you can do is Debrand/Rebrand your phone which means, in simple, you change some parameters in your phone, to let your phone and ROM thinks it is from some other region, like EU/ME.
You can find details about Debrand/Rebrand method and video guide in following 2 posts:

Wow. First of all, thank you kindly. Looks like a load of work. I will try it and I really appreciate your help and your time.
The device is AL10 as per box/back of the device itself. There is nothing on this phone I would care to loose. Its like this straight out of the box. I don't mind what software I am using as long as I can make calls, use internet, pair my watch, download apps from play store (i understand this may be the issue with Chinese rom). I think what seller was intending to do is the debranding to make it EU.
If you don't mind, I will contact you (quote) if I encounter issues on the way.

Most HUAWEI's phones come with Google Play Services installed, what you need is Google Play Store, if I didn't remember it wrong.
From what I read, a proper debrand should never put your phone in a mess up status, but I haven't done that myself. If you can take time, maybe can study that SRK tool and debrand it yourself. Anyway, now you know you will have the final restore weapon.

It feels like your phone is not properly unlocked or somehow relocked, maybe you should try to unlock your phone again.
Here is the post for your reference:

You may have troubles in finding these in your phone according to your previous post, try the code below.
1. Your phone serial number (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)
open dial pad and enter *#*#2846579#*#*, should be some options called "board basic info", and then "others" (I translate from Chinese website, maybe not accurate)

2. Your phone IMEI1 (this can be found in Settings -> About -> Status)

Thank you again.
The last is not possible as it returns nothing at all. I'll attempt Huawei live chat support on Monday in hope they can help with unlock code.
First two are printed on the box and the back of phone. There is also a sticker on the back of it with Chinese writing and some combination of letters and numbers. I doubt they are the product ID.

If you can take a picture of them and post it here, maybe I can help, since I'm Chinese.
the best thing to do is getting a someone backup without efs and restore . ( just rename one folder and replace phone serial no .

I also have a china version of a 128GB FRD AL10 its all working fine but i would like to go to a europe ROM if i can? the seller said Huawei told him if he flashed the device it would break and not work with an EU ROM? i cant set encryption and this is an issue for me as i need it for my work email to work. i also have quite a lot of Chinese text still on some areas, any help greatly appreciated
hi, you can install a European rom instead of the Chinese version in the FRD-AL10? Best regards
Hey, got the same question as albertazzi65 and cwpaters, can I install another ROM on the Al10? And will that enable another bands fot lte?

A. There are a few times of blacklist... T-Mobile seems to block INTERNAL only if non payment. Others will block if non payment or lost/stolen.
This does not effect SIM unlock, I can do it regardless.... However, you WILL NOT GET NETWORK SIGNAL IF BLOCKED
Check here for T-mobile https://www.t-mobile.com/verifyIMEI.aspx and also here for all models http://imei24.com/blacklist_check/
If you are not sure ask first!
Q. Can you change/repair my IMEI?
A. HELL NO. This is not only against XDA Rules but it is illegal in most countries, including mine.
Q. Is this really free?
A. Yes, although I do hope for a donation for my time and effort
Q. When are you available?
A. See below.
Q. Can we get on with it all ready?
A. Yes!

Phone dialer > *#0808# > USB = AP
Phone dialer > *#0808# > USB SETTINGS = DM + ACM/MODMEM + ADB (note, will say ACM or MODEM)
If and only IF the above doesn’t work then try:

SPRINT Only
Phone dialer > ##3424# >Qualcomm USB settings > DM + ADB + Modem
If the above asks for MSL or doesn’t work then try:
Developer Settings > USB Configuration > RNDIS (USB Ethernet) then we can get MSL to enable the above if you need MSL
For those that don't know... the 5th to last digit in the firmware is the BOOTLOADER (BL) version. YOU CAN'T GO BACK!!
i.e G920TUVU5EQC2 the BL version is 5 so you can't flash anything less than BL version 5
PC
You will need a Windows PC for the software. Please ensure you have Windows 7 or newer

Unlocking Process
When you have contacted me and I have replied that we are ready you may proceed to:
Open flexihub and log in to your account
DO NOT SEND COM PORT. THIS IS USELESS TO ME ALONE
If needed click 'UNLOCK' on the phone's driver so it can be accessed (i.e Samsung_Android OR Gadget_Serial OR MSMxxxx)
Right click on your phone's driver in flexihub(i.e Samsung_Android OR Gadget_Serial OR MSMxxxx) and click send invite.
Type in [email protected] and click OK.
I will connect to the device and proceed from there.
Please watch phone for USB Authorization prompt.
Check the box then press OK.
I will disconnect and reconnect as required (using FlexiHub).
Watch phone Screen for SU (ROOT) prompt and press GRANT.
All you need to do is watch the phone for USB Authorization and ROOT grant.
Please follow the instructions I send via Google Hangouts
After we are finished you can return your device settings to as they were and you can remove FlexiHub from PC.
Please kindly donate via PayPal to [email protected] (once again 100% optional)
Stifilz thanks for doing it again. i was really worried i couldnt get my Note 5 unlocked. i have the Note 5 from tmobile. i hope this works for me .. would read and follow steps to connect to you
I have a new locked T-mobile Note 5. Any chance of unlocking and still being able to use Samsung Pay? I haven't upgraded the firmware yet. It should still be on Android 5. Not sure if that matters.
please if u still doing this ... help me in this ... i cant afford the money
Upgrade after unlock? Can i upgrade my OS from 6.0.1(which is required for unlock)
MOD EDIT: Please do not quote the WHOLE OP just to ask a question.
Can i upgrade to os7 now after my phone has been unlocked? I am afraid to upgrade, coz my phone had got network locked recently, after i had got it unlocked last year. So the local guy where i get my phones unlocked, he said that happened coz i upgraded to os7, where as even after upgrading to OS 7, my phone was having network for more than a month.

Do you have a solution?

Was the phone purchased used? If so, it may have not been completely paid for and the loaning company will block the IMEI. If that's the case, there are companies that will write a valid IMEI to the hardware. It didn't used to be legal but at least here in the states it now is.

hope you did not buy it from ebay
seller was claiming he did not know tech but was selling plenty of tech items and could get it to recovery and bootloader but would not try out steps of flashing rom (or state results)-reckoned he would have if he could as he could have sold for a better price-led me to suspect something more was wrong with it.
