Relock device app - Asus Rog 5 WW edition.
Please help me. Out of curiosity, I installed the unlock device app from Asus official support website link.
I want to go back to my normality of my phone. Please could you guide me to relock to my old settings. I'm not too much of a tech geek.
It was done my mistake. Please help me to go back to my old setting. I just want to get out of this Unlock device app settings.
Please help me considering me as a newbie.
There is no such thing as a relock app. You can relock your bootloader from Fastboot with some caveats and risks if your device is not a genuine WW version.
Discussed and covered in numerous posts on this forum such as here:

If your idea is to install twrp and root , there's a workaround without having to unlock bootloader. Send me a private message so that i can help.

So i wish relock my phone, asus zenfone5 lite (zc600kl)
Please let mo know How to relock asus zenfone5 lite (zc600kl)
Thank you. have a nice day.
You unlock bootloader with the official apk, so you cannot relock it, and moreover, like it's explain when you install the official apk for unlocking bootloader, your warranty is now void. I remember it was written when i unlocked bootloader on my zenfone 3 with the official asus apk.

Thank you for your reply.
I want to relock my zenfone.
When I boot up the phone, I get the same sentence.
It is not related to the warranty of the phone.
This is Korea, not the place where the asus phone is regularly distributed, but it does not repair the trouble in Korea asus.
Knowing this, I bought the phone.
I just want to keep that sentence no more when the phone boot.
When relocking again, the sentence seems to be rattling and asking questions.
I want to know how to relock.
I am also looking for an original recovry and boot img that fits this phone.
If I can save those files, I think relock is possible.
Or I would like to find a way in this phone that this phrase can be paved.
Thank you.
I will read your writing carefully.

You can not get rid of the message, even if you relock the boot loader.
Help unlock bootloader zenfone 5q (x017da)
I don't have a high enough post count to start my own thread, but this is the closest related thread I could find. If I should post this somewhere else, please advise.
I tried the official unlock bootloader apk and I keep getting an error message. It says it is an unknown error message and it may be a network issue. I tried troubleshooting on the zentalk forum. They asked for my Imei number and then told me the servers are fine that I'd be using and I would need to have support perform "Imei checking". Support had no idea what that meant. The zentalk support person suggested I ask for help here as they can not provide any additional assistance.
I've looked and using adb and fastboot I can get my phone into fastboot, but then after echo>key.txt I try:
fastboot oem get_unlock_key key.txt
FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
My goal with unlocking the bootloader is to try to enable gcam and hopefully improve the camera capabilities.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what steps to unlock the bootloader? I don't believe there is any way to use gcam without unlocking the bootloader first, but I'd there is a way to do that, I'd appreciate some direction.
Thanks.
Hello dear friends.
I have Rog Phone 5 Tencent Converted to global. I can't get access to Android/Data/.... All folders are empty but on my friend's rog phone 5 same version amd software update like mine he can get access to everywhere R/W is enabled by default! Even without root access!
Anyway to fix this problem? Thanks
Have you tried a different file browser? Some may not have updated with the newer requirement that you approve access to certain areas of storage.

I'm extracting the same firmware's payload.bin but causes bootload. I'm using latest software version can you help me to get root access?

I used same method but not working always causes bootloap, can you provide your patched boot.img? And which version are you using?
I didn't save the boot image, but it was CN-18.0840.2103.26
I'm probably not the best person to ask. I am currently testing custom kernels.
Hi,
I have unlocked my rog 5s using official app.
I did some playing with roms and installed official firmware by flashing RAW firmware.
I have locked the device using below command.
fastboot oem asus-lock
Now that my phone is in unlocked Rog phone list, I am not getting any updates nor Asus Unlock app is working.
I want to unlock my phone again and install some GSI roms as I officially don't get any updates from ASUS.
Any help is appreciated........
Maybe by changing the device rom and fingerprint back to Chinese version and hoping that the unlock tool will pick it up as a good match - Guess being that your phone is a CH>WW convert and not an original Global/WW version from factory.
Re-locking converted devices is a bad idea. It's posted and warned about so many times in this forum by other CN device owners...
I executed some commands, but root did not succeed
fastboot flash boot /path/to/magisk_patched_[random_strings].img
fastboot flash vbmeta --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta.img
I also couldn't achieve root.
I submitted a bug report on github.
IIRC patching init_boot.img is required for A13 devices (not boot.img as it was previously)
Did not succeed
and yes, I tried twice unlocking with the Asus unlock app

It literally tells you that device is locked. Do you get "g.co/ABH" screen during powering on the device?
If so, try in fastbootd ("adb reboot fastboot" or "fastboot reboot fastboot")
That worked
fastboot mode did the trick
Thank you!
download firmware from Asus
unpack the payload with payload-dumper
copy init_boot.img to phone
patch init_boot.img in magisk
copy magisk_patched.img back to PC
reboot phone to fastboot mode (adb reboot fastboot)
flash patched img: fastboot.exe flash init_boot magisk_patched.img
profit!

FYI I believe the ASUS bootloader unlocking server is currently down / malfunctioning and haven't gotten a good answer from their technical support. I'm currently receiving the same error and here are some links to forums posts experiencing the same behavior.

After doing some research I understand that on the Tencent Version of the phone the sellers unlock and relock Bootloader after changing from CC to WW so they mess up bootloader.
It seems that the only way of unlocking the bootloader is using EDL, which I'm scared to use b/c I don't want to brick my new Rog phone 7 -_-
Can someone with the global version verify that using the unlock tool Asus provides works on their device?

I'm also hoping to get some confirmation because I'm experiencing issues with the Unlock Tool on the zenfone 9, not the ROG phone so I don't think the issue you mentioned above applies in that case. Maybe there's multiple variables but I believe the asus servers are down until someone says that the Unlock Tool is working for them.

My previous phone was the Zenfone 9, and I unlocked it using the Asus unlock tool that is provided on their website and successfully rooted it.
Are there several editions to the Zenfone like the Rog or is there only a global version?
if there's only a global version that probably means their servers are down.

I've previously had success on the zenfone 9 as well, its only as recent as this week that the bootloader unlock tool is not working. ASUS support has responded saying their servers "were down for maintenance and to try again" but nothing has been fixed up to this point. I'm not sure if it's broken for everyone currently and if they've purposefully disabled it or it's just malfunctioning.

Yep,
Hope that the bootloader can be unlocked on the tencent version once the servers are back up.
Certainly will work with the zenfone 9.
hi anyone need to root his rog phone 7 pleass send me on telegram @aborem89
Converted CN>WW devices will not pass validation on the ASUS servers because the device region fingerprint has been changed and doesn't match. Only known way short off trying through EDL methods is to do a full reverse to CN and try to unlock before converting to WW again. This has been the case with all the previous ROG devices (and probably Zen models too) that I know of...
Can anyone make a step by step video on how to change the rom from cn - ww(global) thank-you
20 days later,the Asus unlocking server is still down and Asus didnt answered or told us anything. Does anyone have any new updates from Asus,or someone that works at Asus,maybe you can answer us here. Im starting to get tired of keep trying every few hours to unlock it and get the same error over and over,I need root acces.
