[Asus Transformer TF700] dankens:
just download ics .30 from asus website, unzip (once), put it on microsd. reinsert microsd and update should popup in notification area.

Just a heads up, in a downgrade it wipes everything including root.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wctaylor79:
used phone to tether and unlocked my 700 driving down the highway. coming from stock fully updated jelly bean.. One time no problem. used goo manager flashed over recovery and good to go..
[Asus Transformer TF700] cowhow:
Man, this is a tough one. Just bought my TF700 and I got to admit I'm struggling with whether or not to unlock the BL. While I want the freedom unlocking gives me, it kind of scares the $#@$% out of me to think I've got a brand new device with no warranty. Decisions, decisions...[see hand wringing and pacing back and forth]
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I lasted about 3 1\2 months before unlocking.

Kind of just tossed in the towel after the OTAs from our buds at Asus infused my tab with worse performance.

C'est la vie...
[Asus Transformer TF700] wctaylor79:
Not sure if this is an option for you, but look into Squaretrade. 3rd party warranty that won't matter if you botch it up. Realistically though follow directions and you should have no issue. I only unlocked once I secured an alternative warranty .. just in case for the future of the device. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You can unlock while you on the latest JB, just make sure you flash a full stock version of JB before unlock. If your device is modded it will failed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kulapika:
the same issue

I have this problem too. Is there anyone who had this issue and solved it already? Can someone share their experience? Should I call Asus to figure it out? I really wanna have custom rom installed!! Please help!!:crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I only seen 2 issues here, if you got the error "network issue" then it's Asus server, if your device reboot and attempted to unlock then failed then something with your device (like OS is not stock or something ...), I make sure mine is stock and temp unrooted before I unlocked and everything went fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] aerce:
I have tried it on JB, and I have downgraded to ICS and tried it there too without any luck. Just getting network issue message. I really want to unlock my tablet, because of this insane lag, please help me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Network issue is Asus server.. You can contact them or just wait....and keep trying.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bckldwn:
As I've said before, maybe in another thread, I have made Tien aware of this issue and sent him a logcat of the DM server response so I really hope they are looking into it now.

He hasn't got back to me about any updates on that end though.. fingers crossed that we will be able to unlock soon!
[Asus Transformer TF700] kulapika:
I just think it's ridiculous!! How can they have this issue on their serve and not fix it immediately? Is it that hard? If so, why can they let other devices to be unlocked at the first place? It is just ridiculous....:(
[Asus Transformer TF700] bckldwn:
I could be wrong but I believe the server is not in their hands anymore.. I forget where I read this from though.

I fully agree with you, we shouldn't be having issues like these, it's ridiculous.. I can't exchange/refund my tablet either :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] kulapika:
I know the server is not in their hands anymore but before they decided to let others be in charge of their server they should know better they are still responsible to this decision or they should give us the customer service phone number of whoever who is in charge of this now so that we can call and figure it out. As said, it's just ridiculous....:mad:

Has anyone tried to unlock the bootloader with the latest update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Garalor:
i can not unlock my device because of network error :(

I'm on JB 4.1.1 and Build Number JRO03C.WW-epad-10.4.4.23-20121127

I have no Root.

What can i try out? any ideas?

am i stuck on asus rom?

would be thankfull for any advice

@bckldwn

do you have any new information about this issue?

with kind regards,

Garalor
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
To all with unlock problems:

It may be of some help to register your device here: https://vip.asus.com/login.aspx

Make sure your tablets S\N is the same on both the sticker by the connector and the S\N found under settings\about tablet\

If they match then try registering with Asus...then wait for a return e-mail from them and retry the unlock tool again.

No guarantees here this has worked for some users.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kabuk1:
Didn't work for me :{ Damnit I wanna unlock this thing SO BAD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Garalor:
Hi,

Did that, does not help yet. I will continue to try. Wrote an mail to asus. Maybe that helps.

This problemrealy suxx :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] william tanaya:
just found a way to do it. i put the old file in my tablet memory, and it find update. but it's actually downgraded automatically to ICS. and then i can use the unlock tool
[Asus Transformer TF700] kabuk1:
What file are you talking about? If you got this to work, I'm sure a detailed description of exactly what you did would be greatly appreciated by everyone here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bckldwn:
I tried registering my device too, didn't work. Rebooted and tried different networks as well.. still no go.

Time for RMA
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
I'm sure he's talking about the .30 ICS firmware. I found it may works for some but not all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Garalor:
Hey,

i finally got mine unlocked.

i hope this works for more people too:

1. i registered my device on the asus Siteus. (dont know if that is necessary)

2. after that i clickt on the contact technical support button

3. i wrote this to the support:

4. i got an answer from asus the day after, and they wanted to know my WiFi Mac Address(seems to be important for the unlock tool)

he said he will give the mac address to his colleagues to check it (my serial he already had)

5. half a day later i could unlock my device

hope this helps others. plz report here if it works for you too

sry for english mistakes and a happy x-mas from germany

I just unlocked this morning, it worked on the first try.

My Infinity is now running CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] unni_kmr:
I just downloaded the apk from Asus website, ran it and it unlocked in the first try (bought the tablet just last week, and running 4.1.1). I didn't register.
[Asus Transformer TF700] third son:
Where did you you find the link?
[Asus Transformer TF700] unni_kmr:
I got it from here: http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=28&s=1&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T

Select Android as the OS.

Remember: As far as I know, once you unlock, there is no going back. You lose your warranty.

You can get more info about the unlocker from this thread (the 'Can I unlock the bootloader?' section): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1834521

[Asus Transformer TF700] kabuk1:
Holy crap you guys, I think I may have stumbled onto something here.

Little bit of backstory- So I've been trying to unlock this thing since I got it with zero success. Just one failure after another & lots of anger. I registered it, I tried unlocking it on different wifi networks, different times of the day, etc, all to no avail. I rooted it on day one & froze DMclient & CMclient b/c I tried the JB update when I first got it & didn't like it, so I rolled back & froze the updaters cause didn't want it nagging me to update again. It hit me while I was at work today- these apks communicate with Asus's servers, what if them being frozen is what's stopping the unlocking? So I unfroze them, ran the unlocker again, and... it worked. Immediately and with zero errors :eek:

Maybe its just a coincidence, maybe Asus randomly fixed their servers just today, I dunno. But if you have those apks frozen/removed & can't unlock, defrost/reinstall them & try again. Not promising this is THE answer, but it seems more than coincidental to me that after literally a MONTH of trying to unlock it nearly every day with no success, it worked right away as soon as I did that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
Actually that makes perfect sense. Others have been unlocking in the meantime, so I don't think it was an ASUS server issue in your case at all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kulapika:

I managed to do this using the stock Asus tool on the first try today, on a JB pad.

Of course, I'm now having a devil of a time actually rooting the thing, nothing seems to work...
[Asus Transformer TF700] 7786:
You can't root JB at the moment. Since you're unlocked, why not just install a custom rooted rom?

I am very interested in it, but your link is unfortunately not working
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarkFire1985:
He was telling in that topic that he can call ASUS HQ in Taiwan for you if you donate $ 10.

So the fix is like we know, ASUS Taiwan can correct it in their systems. You just have to find a way to poke them

**** ASUS...

support dont fix my problem... i have a never unlockable tablet... going this days to the reseller to give it back...

The Problem dont go with RMA it comes with RMA!

My Tablet is going to RMA (mainboard change) and after this on the asus server dont get the new wlan mac adress an the seriannumber...

Devicetracker and UNLOCK tool never work with this... asus want to RMA aggain but no one go to change the data in the asus server...

RMA DONT HELP... only via support you get a fix... in my point any asus boss say no... you only get rma... so i can put the device in the trashcan... RMA in Germany dont fix the wrong data on the server in asia...

**** IT!!!

[Asus Transformer TF700] DarkFire1985:
I don't have a link but I contacted ASUS Germany and they did actually help me because I couldn't register at the devicetracker.

Then I RMA'd twice as they said it was required to fix my wrong MAC-address. After 2 RMA's my problem is still there and I have asked them to contact ASUS Taiwan because of multiple people telling they can fix my wrong MAC.

My problem isn't fixed yet though but I will keep poking them until I get a confirmation that my MAC is right :)

The persons I spoke to are Martin Waschk and Mehmet Adyakar.

Hey, just bought mine 3 days ago and was about to unlock it, boom network error :( this is so sad. Contacted asus and this is what they told me.

Hi!

The unlocking tool is nothing we support. I can recommend you to do a reset and then try the unlocking tool again. When using the unlocking tool the pads warranty will expire.

Turn-off the device, hold Volume-Down key and then press Power key to power on the device. Then, when system recovery message appears, press Volume-Up key first, on next screen users may press Volume-Up Key to reset the system or press Volume-Down Key to cancel the process.

Tried this and all it gives me is a android logo on he´s back with a red exclamation mark. Really getting frustrated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] simplytheone:
I ask for the Devicetracker but its the same Problem... only way is RMA and 3 weeks without tablet and the knowlege 10 of 10 tablet dont get the fix @ the RMA...

i hope my reseller take the device back tomorow or change it with a new one... but i think the first words are... we call asus for you and send it to RMA...
[Asus Transformer TF700] GmrzeeK:
Damn, really sucks. But i will try to get around this some way. Either way this will be solved, if not i find a way to return it and grab another device. Just wanna try some more before i go the reseller route hehe.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GmrzeeK:
Well yeah mate, im running out of ideas. Tried everything possible, and downgrading seems like a waste of time. Not even sure how to find the right firmware etc to try it out, Rooting and flashing etc on my Note II is such a breeze :) then i wanted a pad so badly, couldn´t decide which one to go for, but as you can see i went for the tf700t but im starting to regret it.

And i really don´t want to hand it back in , i love it but without unlocking the bootloader i can´t do what i really really want to do, Sucks .

Anyways i will stick around and see what will happen, i still got hope.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GmrzeeK:
Morning people!

Quick question and i hope someone kind enough could help me out here, as i am still not able to unlock my device the easy way and just go ahead from there, i will try to downgrade to Ics from Jb and try rooting it that way. Question is about the firmware, im from sweden so i guess it´s the World wide firmware i should use, correct me if im wrong please.

Getting abit crazy over here as i want to use a few apps that i can´t if i don´t have root.

Thanks in advance

Regards Mike.

[Asus Transformer TF700] GmrzeeK:
Evening!

aww thats to bad, not much more options around. Still waiting for asus suport guy to get back to me on the matter of the unlock tool. Since i have downgraded to Ics and rooted it, just waiting for the device to charge up and im heading back to Jb hoping that ota rootkeeper will do it´s work.

If so im just going to stay rooted this way until a fix comes out or anything else changes.

Staying around tho for any updates, thanks for the help as well :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] GmrzeeK:
Update!

Downgraded to ICS .30 and then went ahead and rooted my device with the debugfs method without any issues at all, im now back on the latest jelly bean version and also rooted, so until asus fixes the problem (if they ever do) im staying like this with an closed bootloader.

But the hole idea with me buying this device was to unlock the bootloader and run some good roms, like cleanrom but asus stands in my way.

Really hope they will fix it, i will keep on naggin on the support and do what ever i can to fix it, if i can´t lets pray they fix it themselfs.

Anyways have a good night people!

Gmr.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GmrzeeK:
This is just so frustrating really, everytime i scroll thru all the pages about the tf700t and i see all the juicy themes and roms i break down and squeeze out a tear or even 2.

Do you guys think we will ever be able to unlock the bootloader? every morning when i wake up to make my 2x cups of coffe i try the unlock tool and to my suprise i get the " network error", having just root dosn´t cut it for me, i want to flash CWM, do my backups and also try out cleanrom.

Never thought i would be butt hurt about this but jesus christ i am . Oh well!

Have a good one people!

[Asus Transformer TF700] krugm0f0:
The problem isn't the app. The problem is the ASUS servers... I'm still struggling with the network problem..
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eyenza:
No longer looking into it

I contacted Tien about this in July, but he is no longer looking into the issue. This is what he said

"Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, the issue remains and I am no longer looking into it. What was found out, though, is that the unlocking issue is related to the issue of the device not able to receive automatic updates. If your tablet is having a hard time updating by itself, please contact our support to set up repairs for it. We do not support the unlocking tool, but we should be able to fix the updating issue. There is no way to fix it without sending it in, though. I'm sorry."

My tablet does have problems receiving automatic updates and I sent it off to ASUS for repair. ASUS thinks the tablet is unlocked when it's not, so I'm trying to clear up the discrepancy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] krugm0f0:
Mine fixed itself after leaving it to itself for a while (month++), and one day it just worked...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eyenza:
Success

After much frustration I've finally managed to resolve my "unknown network error occurs" problem. This is basically what happened:

By Tiens suggestion (in my previous post) I decided to send my tablet into ASUS to resolve the automatic updating issue. An escalation agent claimed my motherboard was defective and would require an out of warranty replacement to resolve. When I asked why it would be out of warranty he claimed that my tablet had already been unlocked. Needless to say this agents incompetence was nothing short of astounding, and after rather a long exchange that went nowhere I decided to have ASUS send my tablet back unrepaired.

After a couple of months I tried to register my device on the ASUS device tracker website, but would get the error "command failed". I raised a ticket with ASUS support, who immediately sent my case to their escalation team. Once again I was told that my device is already unlocked, and that I would not be able to use ASUS services like device tracker because of this.

At this point I felt I was out of options, so I blatantly asked the agent if he could help me resolve the "unknown network error occurs" error when attempting to unlock my tablet. I have to be honest, I was expecting a flat out no, but much to my surprise he asked for my tablet information to forward to the appropriate team. After a few days I got an email asking me to try again, but now a new "Failed to unlock your device" error occurred. After a while I realized that I was on JellyBean 4.2 and using the version 7 unlocker instead of version 8. After installing the updated unlocker my tablet finally unlocked! I informed the agent of my success and thanked him for not brushing me off. After all as a former technical support agent I'm always pleased when someone goes above and beyond for their clients. It's what I always tried to do...

So now I have my blob files generated, twrp installed and I'm currently testing out Cyanogenmod. After about a week or so I'm going to try the Cromi-X rom for a while and then decide which one I like more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Sparkey480:
Well I got my tf700 refurbished from a TigerDirect store, and tried almost everything to unlock it. Unfortunately, I learned that the Serial was unknown, so I ended up returning it and getting a replacement one.

The second one works great, unlocked, rooted, and running Cromi-X.:good:

So I got this Diztronic Clear GlitterFlex TPU Case with a Phantom skin,but the problem is the case pulls the edge of the screen protector,so I get little bubbles on the upper side of the phone.

I would think a dry screen protector would be better because acts like a tape and would be harder to lift.

Any suggestion on a VERY GOOD dry application screen protector ?

Thanks

Inside any Incipio case there's a dry app screen protector. They are decent. Better than those "cut to fit" Chinese garbage you buy at accessory stores. Go into an ATT store and ask to try on a case, then just snag it. I work at an att store and we could give 2 ****s about those things, 9 chances out of 10 we would just give it to you. One caveat: the outer edges and the uppermost portion of dry app screen protectors don't seem to stay down due to the slight bevel in the glass. Just my thoughts.

These protectors don't cover the whole screen because of the beveled edges of the phone and it also has an anti glare coating which makes for a matte finish. Some say that it makes the screen grainy due to the coating but I am fine with it. However if it bothers you there is clear version:
