thanks in advance

Just try using xposed framework. You keep stock and just find a module that works for you. Good luck

There is no known way to root without unlocking bootloader.
Yep. You would void the warranty once you unlock the bootloader. Try using xposed .

My question is in the title. So I have recently bought a manufacturer refurbished TF300T off eBay, everything is working like a charm except for that it cannot be unlocked using the official Unlock Device Tool (throws an error saying "Unknown error. This might be a network connection issue..."). I contacted ASUS customer support and their answer is that a refurbished product simply cannot be unlocked without any further explanation, which doesn't really make sense to me. Anyway, I've been searching on the Internet for other means to unlock my device but no luck at all. I would appreciate if anyone can help me solve this problem or at least give me an explanation as to why unlocking can't be done on a refurbished tablet. Many thanks in advance!
P.S. I am trying to install Ubuntu on my device that's why it needs to be unlocked.
Suggest you read more before you brick it. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting are two separate things. Kingo roots it easily. You'll be staying locked if unlock tool does not work for you.

thank you for your reply. I thought rooting and unlocking were the same thing.
Hi 2easy4sam,
Were you able to unlock your transformer?
I also have a refurb tf300t, and the official unlock tool doesn't work on it.. Can't use the tablet with stock ROM anymore!

Go to Asus Suport with screenshots of the error, a speedtest, build number and mac adress. Tell them to update their database with correct informations. Then you'll be able to unlock your tablet with this tool.
If they tell you can't try it one more time and don't let them before your tablet is unlocked. Don't listen to the guys who said it isn't supported anymore.
I've been talking with a woman from asus support, she was cool and did what she had to do. The first time it didn't work, they probably didn't upgraded as they had to... I insisted and she retried it. Now my TF300T is unlocked and everything works well.
If you are cool with them and you insist, it will be ok.
PS: Sorry for my bad english

Yes, unlocking and locking the bootloader if needed is a piece of cake and takes less then a minute. Read the first 5 threads in the General section well and you`ll be fine
If you couldn't unlock the bootloader...... You wouldn't have a nexus in your hand.

hmmm
Pretty sure there is a bigggggggggggggg assss post dedicated for unlocking bootloader. One for experienced user and one for dummies. If you still can't follow that, you should not unlock the boot loader. Instead buy a N5 and pick a hard object of your liking. I personally recommend a baseball bat. Then toss your N5 in the air and go weeeeeeeeee "Bammmmm" After that you have successfully 100% unlocked N5

I'll be getting my Moto G in a few days, and I just want to ask whether XT-1033 is compatible with other custom roms built for XT-1032 (single sim version)? And is the method for rooting the same?
Thanks!

1. You will need to use ROMS that support xt1033 ie. GUMMY ROM, CR-DROID, MOKEE, and CM11. I must tell you that these roms may have bugs pertaining DUAL SIM USAGE. if you intend to use only one sim card (like me), then no problem should arise. Best thing to do is to read the ROM threads.
2. Rooting method is the same (the unlocking bootloader thing)

Thanks for the answers! One more thing, how do I check whether my bootloader is locked? Or does all Moto G ship with a locked bootloader?

If youve gone through the rooting tutorial, it'll say wether you can unlock BL or not when you request the bootloader unlocking code. You'll find out when you request the code. By right, i think all xt1033 ship with locked BL That CAN be unlocked.

Hi,
Sorry, no bootloader unlock for you, with the SW version you have.
Only partial root (write protection is still on) is possible.

Do a google search for 'rootjunky' and he does have a video that outlines the current method where you intentionally brick your phone and use 'Python' to sneak in through the back door. I have not tried it out though.
Any ROMs being made for obake besides CM anymore?
Hello Guys @ XDA.
I need HELP unlocking the bootloader of my Moto G 4G XT1045 Cricket mobile phone.
Please Help
Thanks in Advance.
Go to the Motorola Bootloader Unlocking site and follow the instructions on the site.
Google that, and you should be able to unlock your phone at a bootloader level.
That won't work. You'll just get a message about this device not being eligible for unlocking or something like that.

DC-Unlocker might be both your/OP's best bet if that works, but if it does not, then sadly, you might be stuck with a phone that you cannot do much, and believe me, it sucks as my brother-in-law had a Sony Xperia neo that was locked to T-Mobile, and therefore bootloader-locked, as a SIM-locked phone usually has its bootloader locked as well.
Update: after checking out the site, Motorola phones aren't supported.
Update #2: Check this out, but this will leave you $25 lighter on your wallet:

Unless something has changed recently, Sunshine doesn't work either because it's 4.4.4. Even if it did- yeah, it probably doesn't make much sense to spend more money than the phone is worth to unlock it. ?
