The bootloader can't be unlock at the moment. Asus is known for giving the tools to unlock the bootloader. So its matter of time to have the tools to unlock it.

Asus just released the unlock tool for the ZenFone 3 so the tool for the Deluxe can't be far off. Maybe this tool will work for the Deluxe??

Source Code is on Asus website I don't get why it's not available yet?

Hey there I posted this under "rooted":
Hey, just went onto ASUS global & US website and saw that there is an unlock bootloader utility for the ZS550KL (updated 11-Nov-2016) but not one for the ZS570KL. Does this matter, since both phones are "Deluxe"? If not, any assistance to unlock bootloader and root the ZS570KL. Thanks!
Any help or feedback, greatly appreciated.

i wish i could do a test run, but sadly it's not on 5.7 yet and i asked asus about it, and haven't gone back to me yet on the issue.

Fairly new to rooting phones and this question is due to my inexperience, but if the phones are both considered "Zenfone 3 Deluxe" what does the size have to do with it? Thanks for explaining.

well according to the this link here ... https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (This is for 5.7 and there is no show of bootloader)
however this link here https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (shows a bootloader unlock for the 5.5 version)
We need developers to jump on this darn phone and get it going somehow, if there is anyway possible to get their attention on it. I was able to tweak my phone a bit more with the startup manger (free) from google play to get more ram space.

5.5 has SD820 cpu, 5.7 has SD821... Would you try and use the other, untried method of unlocking if it may destroy your expensive little toy?

This is untrue. The 5.5 has the SD625, and the 64GB 5.7 has the SD820 and the 256GB 5.7" Special Edition has the SD821.
While it could be possible that a bootloader unlock tool for the SD820 could be used on the SD821 (but maybe not) because the architecture is essentially the same, an unlock tool for the SD625 most certainly would not be as it is a completely different processor.

I know we seen this answer before, but this is what i got from them.... https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120584-1-1.html

I emailed Asus support and got this as a response:
Me: "When can the bootloader unlock utility be expected to be released?"
Them: "Unfortunately ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty. But we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development."
Edit: I prodded them further and received this in response:
"I have transferred your wish to our Product department, but temporary the accurate time the unlock tool for this Zenfone 3 Deluxe model would be released couldn't be ensured."
Which I believe means: 'We can't give an official release time yet.'

There is a "petition" in Asus 's Taiwan forum requesting an official bootloader unlocked tool and the thread is marked "under active review" by representative of Asus. No ETA is given though and the thread is in Chinese. If you are also interested and want to give it a little more push you could leave English message there.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. I did not even consider looking at the specs (chipset) to see if there was a difference between the 2 models. I just thought they were the same phone just size of screen difference and/or less storage. Forgot they also release a 820 model.

At least you can get to the heart of the menu of the recovery, just can't do much there either. Thanks to a lucky source right here.... been trying find out how to do this...
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120913-1-1.html
1.) Turn off phone completely
2.) press power button and volume down at same time and hold it untill you see an android logo with an "!" with the android logo that says "no command". when you see the logo release all buttons.
3.) Now, press and hold power button first and then quickly press volume Up. You will then see the options including wipe cache.

Is there any hope for Pixel XL - G-2PW2100 - Android 8.0 to be Bootloader Unlocked

Hello Gurus,
As the subject says, I made the mistake of a hasty ebay purchase for a black 128GB XL running Android 8.0 Build OPR3.170623.007. I was happy with the thought of making it my primary music machine by enabling the Apt-X HD codec and pairing with in-car Apt-HD receiver for car AUX speakers. Wanted to install ARISE Audio to be able to pump up the sound quality.
Found out that model no. G-2PW2100 is actual the Verizon/Project Fi model which is beyond any salvation attempts now.
However all of it turned out to be a pipe dream, when i started with the basics on rooting, to unlock the boot loader. Found out the OEM boot loader unlocking option in Developer settings is greyed out and it will not accept the ADB commands
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
or
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
anymore.
The command
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
returns
Code:
VZW__001
If it would have been 7.0.x then I could have tried dePixel8 , however that not a possibly anymore.
Having read all over the forum for various posts, can I conclude there is no solution as of now and it is an expensive paper weight for the time being, or is it any ray of hope move forward to.
Thanks for your answers.

Their is no solution as of now sunshine team don't have any plans to attempt an unlock for newer than 7.1

Thanks, you verified my worst fears. So money lost, time to write off this sunk cost from personal accounts.
Would keep a lookout for a workable unit now, till then will try to sell it off.
Thanks.

I mean, it's still a pixel. It'll get updates for awhileeeeeee.

You mean the bootloader for G-2PW2100 - 128GB - 8.0 can be unlocked. Has someone used this service. Do i have to send my mobile or the solution would be provided online.
Would be nice if you can PM with the link to the actual service.
On the other hand, I guess only taobao is the place where I can see Pixel XL 128 with Android version 7.1 sold, as they are not to be found on US/UK ebay.
A couple of queries I need to know to pin point the exact replacement I am looking for:
1. I assume the model should be either G-2PW2100 (either verizon or google) <= ROM 7.1 or a G-2PW2200 (any service provider) with any ROM version till 8.1.
2. Can a G-2PW2100 <= 7.1 once having a bootloader unlocked, be upgraded to 8.0 and above, and keep having the BL unlocked. If once after unlock, it is locked again either on the same ROM version or upgraded to higher ROM version, would it still be possible to unlock it again.
3. Any possible link or direction where an unlocked 128GB XL is available for purchase.
Thanks for your replies.

Well thanks, has anyone tried it to be really working for Verizon Pixel XL. Any success reports.
The website which opens from your URL has a clunky UX, I cannot select and get to know any service details, even with translation. If i select an option with 150Yuan, it takes me back to a webpage where no further journey to go.
Purchasing on Taobao anyways aint possible for me as the whole process and interface is in chinese, and I dont know if they accept international credit card.
Would like to know more information about it.
====================================
Got it, the URL is for the mobile version of the Taobao website, hence strange display on PC. Am trying to search it via PC.
===================================
Ok so what I am able to gather is these services are for XL running 7.1.x , and mine is already updated to 8.0 ,so cant say for sure it will work or not. For 7.1.x we dont need a paid service, it was already doable by DePixel8 if I am not wrong.
Thanks.

Thats my assumption as well, however trying to get in touch with TaoBao seller to see what miracle they offer.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that even if you downgrade to 7.1, the security patch level would render the dePixel exploit useless. As far as I know, you can't downgrade security patch levels.
Try selling it on Swappa and then buy a Google version off the site.

Please do keep us posted on the TaoBao mission because if it is possible to still do this I am very interested as well... I went on the site to that link and hit the translation on my Chrome browser via laptop and I couldn't make out everything it was informing of but I thought I saw something about it was illegal to ship or prohibited for the goods in my region... I live in the eastern shore of the US... what gives? I am not giving up so easily. I would sell the phone but I am my family's plan and i just pay them cash every month.. so I am sort of stuck with the phone atm myself as well..
Anyways... good luck to all who are still fishing around for an exploit.

Well, i called quits for the TaoBao mission, was a pipe dream anyways. I was able to sell it for a good price. So case closed for making any mistake like this again without reading enough around on the forum about which exact model to buy for my rooting/vipering adventures.
Have another query in mind , will post a new thread for it, while on the hunt for a Google branded set.

Dears - Help - Unlock Moto G 5

Dears,
I got my cell phone stolen, IT'S MYSELF!
It is now blocked and a colleague has informed me that I need to downgrade it to gain access.
I have seen the official steps of google, to enter the site of recovery of the account, to signal the account there and to wait for 24/72 hours, however I want to solve now.
Can anyone pass the steps to do here by the pc?
I do not master android but I am a programmer.
Tks,
Fernando Santos

I think you are asking for FRP (factory reset protection) bypass. This is when you have forgotten the login for the google account on the device.
There a difference between the different G5 models so I suggest you search on your device model for FRP bypass.

How to unlock bootloader realme 6 pro..?

How to unlock bootloader realme 6 pro..?

You can unlock with in-dept-testing app after enable oem-unlock in develop option. But for what? No custom kernel, no custom rom,...at present.
So unlock for what?

You can use in-depth test app to unlock realme devices.
But right now, I cannot find any in-depth test that can use in realme 6 Pro.
Every time I tried to install those app, it always said "app not installed".
BTW, @ahero123a do you find any in-depth test apk that suites to realme 6 Pro?

In-depth test apk from other device cannot be used because you need special apk that's signed with realme 6 pro ROM signature, what a jerk.
We have to ask to realme directly.
I already ask on their forum, twitter, even emails them, but no response.
I shouldn't buy realme at the first time.

Hey Folks,
I found an option "OEM Unlock" (checkbox) in my realme 6 pro settings "Settings -> Additional Options -> Developer Options" which is default set to unchecked.
The Setting is described as followed: "Allow to unlock the Bootloader".
If I check this Setting, then I have to enter my lock-screen "password". After entering my Password a question appears:
"Allow OEM-Unlock ?"
- "After activation, the protective functions of the device are no longer available"
- Buttons "Cancel" / "Activate"
Tho is this the new way too root made by realme ? It sounds like its actually unlocking the bootloader which would allow me to flask twrp and may start rooting the device ?
Or what do i miss here ? I dont want to click this Setting before i know the purpose of this Button.
Anyone got information to this Setting and what acutally happens behind ?
TY and greetz!

Activating "oem unlock" in developer option only makes "fastboot flashing unlock" command available, but it's not enough because you still got no access to the fastboot interface (you'll throwed back to the OS when you try to "adb reboot bootloader")
So, you still have to wait for In-depth-test.apk from official Realme to make fastboot accessible and then you can unlock your device.

Hi
Will this work also wit RMX2063 (EU model)?

Please help me what should I do?
I have the firmware РМХ2063_11_А.10 on my phone
1. I installed the DeepTesting_realme_6pro.apk application.
2. I clicked "Query verification status" and got the answer "Application not submitted"
3. I clicked "Start applying", checked, "Submit application" and received the answer:
"Failed to submit application. The current app does not support your system, please update the system version."
I tried to update, but the phone replied that I had the latest software version installed: РМХ2063_11_А.10
Please tell me on which version of the firmware you were able to open the bootloader?
What should I do to open the bootloader?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, I already figured it out myself: It was necessary to update the firmware to the latest version.

Question Yet Another Bricked Mi Pad 5 after Global Rom

sigh, yes I am embarrased at what I did but I have bricked my Mi Pad 5 and need a hand. Background:
- new Mi Pad 5 China hardware but with Global ROM flashed by the vendor I bought from
- the Mi Pad started up fine and I logged into my google and Mi accounts with no issues
- noticed the bootloader was unlocked and that google play said device is not certified
- I used fastboot OEM LOCK *very stooooopid* and the device rebooted
- on start up is says "This miui version can't be installed on this device" and now it's bricked
- tried to wipe data but no luck same error
- tried miunlock tool but it tells me I have to bind my id to the device :-(
- tried XiaoMiTool V2 but it is also stuck
- tried Mi pc suite but it will not detect the mi pad
Is there way way to simply recovery back to the latest chinese version of the rom - feels like I am stuck between a rock and a hardplace :-(
Thx in advance for your help, FredT

You can not unlock again?
oem unlock command

yes unfortunately my stupid error was that I did an OEM LOCK thinking that would be ok and to fix the playstore uncertified issue :-(

Unlock again, install stock china rom, factory reset and lock bootloader

yeah when I try to unlock it now it says that I have to bind my MI id again but I can't boot MIUI to do that - so really stuck as it won't let me unlock

when I try oem unlock I get:
C:\Users\fredp\Downloads\miflash_unlock-en-5.5.224.24>.\fastboot.exe oem unlock
...

How did you unlock it in the first place? Maybe use the same method? Mine (pro 5g) came with CN ROM with the bootloader locked, so I had to go through the usual procedure of binding my Mi account and waiting for 7 days to unlock the bootloader. I used Mi Unlock as Xiaomi suggests.

Mine came from the seller with the global rom installed even on the CN hardware so they went through that process which in retrospective was not such a great idea, my mistake was that I did not bind my ID to the device before trying to lock it.

I don't know if you solved your problem, but when this kind of things happened with Xiaomi phones, you needed someone with an authorized Xiaomi account that could log in Xiaomi flasher and unlock your device for you. I remember seeing a guy from Russia who did this procedure for many people over the k20 pro fórum (he charges 20us I think)
Sorry for the kind of generic information but it's been sometime I saw this and can't quite remember the details. Try to search for more info about that in k20 pro fórum.
What I can tell you is that if you find the right person to do it for you it's quite easy and fast. I think he does it over TeamViewer.
Anyway, don't give up. It is totally recoverable

I don't know if you solved your problem, but when this kind of things happened with Xiaomi phones, you needed someone with an authorized Xiaomi account that could log in Xiaomi flasher and unlock your device for you. I remember seeing a guy from Russia who did this procedure for many people over the k20 pro fórum (he charges 20us I think)
Sorry for the kind of generic information but it's been sometime I saw this and can't quite remember the details. Try to search for more info about that in k20 pro fórum.

Thx for your suggestion and moral support
In fact I did reach out to {Mod edit} via telegram and within a few short hours i was unbricked and running on the latest stock China ROM!
Life is good again, maybe after I get my courage again I will try the global ROM again ...although right now I have to wait a few weeks for xiaomi to unlock my bootloader

How was this fixed? I also have the same problem(locking the bootloader after flashing and bricking it).

I tried to reachout to {Mod edit} and already paid for the service fee, and I am feeling that this is a SCAM, i have been waiting for a day and still no progress with this. Im confused if this is really a thing for our bricked units. Hope they were just really busy and not a scam.

Update on my transaction with {Mod edit}, it is legit! Cant beleive they revived my mi pad 5. This thread is a big help. Thanks!

I understand the reason...
But how can we suggest a solution to people with bricked device if this is the only option available?
