Yup same sort of crud I got from emma zhang..... seems to me all that needs to be done is correct some text some place in a database. Sure would be nice if someone could find a way to avert the Asus Unlock Tool.
[Asus Transformer TF700] arvo.bowen:
Haha. That's new... "ROM it". Seeing that it comes with a ROM installed from the factory... ;)

Arvo

Device: HTC One X

ROM: CyanogenMod 10.2 (Android 4.3)
[Asus Transformer TF700] mazuka:
Yeah... Well three things I can state with a degree of confidence:

1. ASUS support sucks

2. Those who want to unlock are advised to do it well before the warranty expires, I'd say at least two months in advance

3. I am done with ASUS, my next will be Galaxy Note or something. While Samsung support sucks too - who needs it when there is Odin.

I just bought a Galaxy Tab 3 8" for my wife - out of the box it is faster and more stable than my rooted and optimized TF700.

Persistence is the key to unlocking

I have a Transformer TF700T, 4.2.1, 10.6.1.14.10. I have been trying to unlock it for the better part of two hours and was finally able to succeed. I did nothing different during these two hours of pressing the "unlock" button and receiving error messages. For some reason, after about 25 attempts, it finally went through. I would have to assume it was an issue with the ASUS servers and I finally found a break in traffic to push the unlock script through.

Just want you to know that persistence may be the key. You may try 10, 15, 25 times and receive error messages every time, then finally it will take. Don't give up!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sanvara:
Thanks for this info. Just picked up a used TF700 and am getting the same communication error with the unlock program. I'll keep trying.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mazuka:
I am curious how big was a delay between the moment you press unlock and the moment you get the error - I am getting anything from almost immediate error to up to 5 seconds delay. Because you mentioned you spent 2 hours for 25 attempts - does it mean each attempt in your case lasted almost 5 minutes, so you would press unlock and then waited for 5 minutes to get the error? Or each attempt lasted seconds and you waited for up to 5 minutes before retrying? Just trying to establish some pattern here. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] indycop6773:
Mazuka, I took a few breaks in between my unlock attempts, thus accounting for a longer than normal time frame. And, I may have very well made 40 attempts to unlock the tablet. I lost count after awhile. At times the attempts would last two minutes and other times the error message popped up fairly quickly. Sometimes I would have to re-enter my google account password and other times I wasn't asked for it. One thing to consider is if you are using Google and two-step verification enabled, it may be a good idea either temporarily disable it or assign a unique password to the phone unlock app. This may not be necessary but it's something I finally resorted to. While it didn't help at first, it may have been a factor in the final unlock sequence. Also, I did log in to ASUS device tracker to ensure my device serial number and/or MAC address was properly registered with ASUS. There are some security concerns with the ASUS device tracker so read up on this before you make a decision to use this service.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mazuka:
Thank you, I will give this thing another (long) try

Google 2 factor Authentication

So i ran into this. Interestingly enough if you have google 2 factor authentication enabled you will need to use an application specific password, you cannot use a one time use password.
[Asus Transformer TF700] f1r_CTLF:
Using Consumer VPN

I experienced this while using a consumer VPN to anonymize my IP address. I was using the OpenVPN client on my DD-WRT router, so all devices, including my TF700T, were going through the VPN. Many sites block IP ranges from VPN services as "spambot" country, and it looks like Asus is one of those apprehensive businesses. I saw the behavior folks described with both the v7 and v8 Unlock Tool on a refurbished TF700T. The solution was to temporarily disable my VPN, then the unlocker ran perfectly. Hope this helps someone!
[Asus Transformer TF700] das chaos:
I did have different experience.

ASUS support in Germany was very friendly and forwarded my explicit demand on being unlocked for flashing custom ROM to colleagues in Taiwan. They managed registration instantly. Just submit S/N and MAC of your tab.
[Asus Transformer TF700] daveynozen:
UNLOCKED!

After trying everything and still getting the bad password in Unlocker and 'command failed' in Device Tracker I was able to unlock it:

1. Did a factory reset

2. Logged into wi-fi

3. Did NOT sign into Google

4. Ran the v7 unlocker.

5. It asked if i wanted to unlock without an account or PIN. Duh!

5. Clicked 'OK' and it was unlocked!

Could it really be this simple and everyone miss it, or did I just get lucky somehow?
[Asus Transformer TF700] caslim16:
You must have been lucky. Me...not so much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Mine still won't come back without a "unknown error occurs..." message. Google account or no.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You may have to allow "less secure apps" in you Google account. Google it
[Asus Transformer TF700] rprussell:
Yeah, I actually got an email from google about that - turned it on.

Excellent idea though! I'm wondering if it's a WWW traffic issue, I'm going to try again this morning instead of in the evening.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

OKAY.

Persistance pays off.

Note: This is on a clean wiped tablet, on stock 4.2.1, using V7 of the tool, and no Google account installed.

I did send a support question to Asus, and they had me send in my Wifi/Bluetooth mac addresses and build info. (There was no mucking about with "we don't support unlocking..." WHEW)

That was about an hour ago - and I've been sitting here pressing the "unlock me" button over, and over, and over, and over... just in case.

Eventually I got the "You don't have a Google account installed.. unlock anyway?" and I said yes - but it would just wait a bit and say "FAILED."

After three or four successful "unlock anyway?" clicks (out of dozens of "unlock me" clicks) it finally rebooted and unlocked.

It's possible that John_Lu at asus just got my MAC info into support and they fixed me up. I dunno.

IN any case, chalk another up for the good guys. Now, off to install Zombi!
[Asus Transformer TF700] jobustobin:
Persistence Pays Off...

TL;DR Finally managed to unlock.

A few notes from my experience:

- Did not factory reset; did reboot several times (between installations/uninstalls)

- Couldn't get ASUS Device Tracker to work, on any browser (wouldn't accept my SN...also wouldn't recognize Chrome to sign in via G+). Also disabled the Google setting "access for less secure apps"

- Installed v7 and tried for an hour, several reboots. Then tried uninstalling and going with v8, v8 wouldn't install - error message. Reinstalled v7 and (I think) another reboot and suddenly it worked! Verified my Google account, rebooted, and unlocked!

Unlocked Too

I have read all the posts here to date. Thanks to everyone who tried to help. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to unlock this tablet. ASUS was helpful in sending me the link below but even after a fifty or sixty tries, resetting the tablet multiple times and setting up a google and ASUS account profile, it still would not work. Finally did the following steps with success: Did a factory reset. Set up network but did not add Google account. Changed security settings to allow unknown sources for apps. Activated developer mode by tapping build number 7 times. Activated USB debugging mode. Installed v7 unlock tool. Success on first try but had to say go ahead without google account. Unlock tools and other tf700t files are at

support.asus.com.cn/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=28&s=1
[Asus Transformer TF700] goodsignal:
This worked for me!!! I made sure and unrooted it first. Amazingly I did this on my own after banging my head against the wall for hours trying different things. My problem is that the ASUS unlock wouldn't accept my google credentials. Same ones I have used on this tablet from day 1 and 100% sure of my password.

Then, right after I got it working, I found this post. Good luck to anyone else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] djibe89:
Hi guys,

HERE IS THE 100% WORKING SOLUTION.

For complete success to unlock bootloader, manually set date and time to local time (important++++),

then use Unlock V8 app : http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF300T/Unlock_v8.rar

Done !

Been trying moonshine but after the 1st device reboot, ADB doesnt work right :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Make sure you have the latest HTC driver installed. Use a USB 2.0 port, make sure that HTC Sync is not installed on your computer, and that your computer antivirus is off.

You can get the latest driver in the link below. Use the HTC driver from post #2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179776

Also, it may take a few attempts before Moonshine is successful. On the phone I recently Moonshined, it took a few tries before it succeeded, and I had everything set up correctly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] venkman21:
I've been running into the same issues! It keeps getting stuck on the second step! I've been following all your suggestions you posted in my other thread as well. At least it got me to the second step in Moonshine.

All HTC drivers were removed and the new ones were reinstalled. Computer and phone rebooted, USB 2.0 port, etc... I even went to another PC and ran into the same problems. I'll try it some more since you said it took a few tries.

Edit: Now it won't establish a connection to complete the first step in fastboot even though the PC keeps making sounds when fastboot USB gets turned on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] venkman21:
I'm so close FinZ! I just need to figure out how to run RabiesShot from a Windows machine (cmd prompt) - or is it possible to run it via Terminal Emulator on the phone?

Does anyone know how to run RabiesShot without Ubuntu?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You have to use a live CD with Dirty Racun if you are running Windows. To answer your second question, no, you can't use terminal emulator on your phone, either. Please be careful with what you're doing, otherwise you risk having an expensive paperweight in your hand. Personally I would have gone the Moonshine route;) It's Windows friendly and you don't have to fool with any commands, other then checking device connection with ADB & fastboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] venkman21:
Yeah I know. I'm being really careful with everything - reading up before I do ANYTHING. I've done this to several phones before, but never had this much trouble...

Do you know if it's possible to still use Moonshine at this point? I've gone through every single step for DirtyRacun except for #14 which is to run RabiesShot. I have the RUU for 3.15 HBOOT 2.09 installed and running fine right now. If I can use Moonshine (and actually get it to connect to the device now), I would rather do that.

Moonshine worked. My issue was I had to keep turning the USB off the HTC sync everytime the phone rebooted. Now I have S-OFF but my ROM issues still are taking place. Roms just won't boot and sit on loading screen :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Make sure you're doing a full system wipe in recovery prior to flashing the ROM. You also might want to try opening a command prompt in your ADB tools folder while in the bootloader and type the command "fastboot erase cache" (minus quotation marks) and hit enter. Make sure you're connected via fastboot USB first.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Robby29:
Hi all,

I think I have soft bricked my S4 i337m rogers Canadian variant.

I had rooted / unlocked the bootloader with motochopper successfully.

- I am using CWM

First thing I tried to do was backup the phone onto the external SD which would not work so I just went onto the next step.

I tried flashing a ROM onto the phone after doing phone restore and clearing cache. All installed correctly (apparently) and now when I boot up the phone the Samsung logo will appear for about 5 seconds then the phone will go black and try to boot up again.

The good:

- i have access the recovery mode still

The bad:

- no recovery made for the phone

- seems to be boot looping

As a side not I have tried installing a couple other ROMs which all result in the same issue.

Is there anything that can possibly be done?

I would happily put the stock ROM back on the phone.

All help would be greatly appreciated!

Rob.

Hi thanks for the reply. I have tried the factory reset and still does not fix the issue :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kiru:
If you are flashing a custom ROM that is not specifically for your phone, say a i9505 rom, you need to flash a Canadian kernel right after or you will bootloop. You also cannot flash any loki based roms either. As for the CWM backups, are you trying to back up to your external SD? If so, ensure the card is formatted fat32. To help get through your softbrick, just get into download mode and flash with odin
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Robby29:
Okay great I will try these. Does the kernel have to be specific to the ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
The kernel is specific to your device. so you would use the i337M kernel.

So the procedure would be flash the rom of your choice, then before you boot flash YOUR i337M kernel, it will boot.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kiru:
And make sure you do not flash a rom for the i9500 as you will hard brick
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] acruxksa:
Also,

Make sure you choose the right i337m kernel. ie. a TouchWiz kernel for TW Roms and an AOSP kernel for CM10.1/AOSP Roms.

You should be able to:

remove your sdcard,

format it to fat32,

download the correct rom and kernel for you i337m to your freshly formatted sdcard,

put the card back into your phone,

boot into recovery,

install ROM zip from ext-sdcard,

install Kernel zip from ext-sdcard,

reboot.

phew....sounds like a lot of steps but not really I guess.

Hello,

Greetings to you, I am sorry you have come to this point. I myself have bricked my phone just yesterday from flashing a bad ROM and not backing up my ROM properly. But I hope I can help you with some tips that i did to recover my phone fully. I apply some links to help you out but I recommend some patience lots of HW. ( Kies didn't work for me bugger =p.)

there is a user by the name of samersh72. you can request for a link to download your correct firmware it's best to get back to stock, ( don't forget to thank the user ;) . )

this is someones video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a3qghhpDxg ( this helped me out as well)

I have these files/programs readied when I reverted back to stock

odin 1.3 ( i have odin 3.0 and didn't work for me reverting stock as it couldnt detect my tar.md5 file, but for some reason it worked for odin 1.3)

have your correct firmware ( I downloaded mine from http://www.sammobile.com, but for some reason I can't find yours, there is one on this site for sure just have the patience to look) make sure its for your correct carrier too.

im pretty sure you know how to do the DL mode, but just incase ill assume that you may or may not know, ill type this in anyway:

Get your S4 Download mode, [pressing up+power+home], (sometimes if i feel its not kicking in, just quick release then do it again)

open your odin 1.3, plug your phone in, tick auto-reboot, and F. reset time. PDA ticked, then find your correct firmware. hit start, then i hope from this something good will come out.

Best of wishes in your journey here in xda.
