Thanks I figured asus was full of sh@t. I have emailed asus vip with a picture of my serial number and mac address, also showing the error im receiving. I'll reset it again and try to unlock... Any differences with the ww model vs us?

Any other tricks/tips? Downgrade firmware..
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
I have done the unlock op on two different 701s with the most recent about a month ago. The main issue is just like bernbdlb says is that it will not recognize your Google account information when that part comes up. So delete the account and when that part of the unlock comes up it will note that your 701 doesn't show an account and do you want to proceed to which you say yes. Don't worry, because losing the account information and starting all over is part of the process anyway.

Always remember that asking Asus anything about unlocking tablets will net you nothing but shrugs. They will not acknowledge that the app even exists. Get your help here just like you are doing now. Let us know how it goes.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xboxorcist:
I contacted asus with my error on thurs(asus technical support via email). I received response last night and was asked for serial, mac adresses and build number. Hours later I was told my info had been updated on the asus servers and to try unlock again... And it worked !!! Thanks to all @ xda

Now that I'm unlocked what recovery/rom should I install?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Well for recovery you have the choice between CWM 6.0.5.1 or TWRP

TWRP has a working touch interface so it's much easier to use than CWM where you have to use the buttons to interact.

But I went back to CWM after running TWRP for a while. It had some funny quirks, I did not quite trust it. I have no problem with a buggy rom but my recovery I want to be sure of....

Your choice.

For a Rom there's only one rule: You try them and decide. CM, Zombi-POP, even the rooted stokc rom are all good. Give them a try
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
I have the same problem and have had it for at least for a year.

My story is this:

I had my tablet rooted, a couple years ago, Loved it. Heavily used it. Dropped it.

Got it repaired at ASUS Repair, even though it was in warranty, I had to pay.

Now:

It was returned to me with 4.4.2, I have not gotten the unlocker tool to work since then. There must have been 200+ clicks to unlock by now. Nothing. I have done everything according to this thread. Reset tablet. No microSD card. Can't degrade firmware to anything, get a error on installation. created a new Google account, turned on the weaker Google Apps Function. Still not unlocking.

I have sent in a support email to ASUS lets hope they are as benevolent towards me as they were to the other people.

If someone has some suggestions. (Other than a hammer), I would love it.

:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF701] dgcruzing:
Try to reset it it.. don't put a Google account on... then load in the unlocker...

Having a Google account on it will stop it from unlocking.. seems to be a bug there..

But that's how I have done two of them over the last 6 months..

Here's a post I made on the procedure..

Hello

Have you had any success yet on 4.4.2?

Did the suggestion by dgcruzing help you out?

Hello

I have unlocked two of my TF701T but this particular one is driving me insane.

I have spent days scouting the Google webs..and have tried lots of resets and flashing procedures..

The only thing i have not tried is to downgrade it in apx mode since i cant find a suitable instructions for TF701T .

Any extra knowledge from any body is appreciated
[Asus Transformer TF701] dgcruzing:
I suppose it has to be asked..

did you add a google account after the rom flash?

As said.. DON'T..... Just let it run through first setup with out any accounts..

then try the unlock app..

If you have already done this, then I don't know what else can be done, unless Asus does a reset on the MAC address back on their servers..

Good luck getting that to happen, hope you don't have to go down that track..
[Asus Transformer TF701] uacolon:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

Answers is no .. no accounts set up.

I Have also downgraded it to earliest version of 4.4.2 (11_4_1_17) with no issues.

As i see it i have two options.

I think im going with #2 below ( its a light work day for me on Mondays.)

1. Figure out a way to get it back to 4.2.2 or 4.3 via APX. (then try to unlock once archived)

2. Call Up Asus (I have open ticket for not able to unlock boot-loader) and see about the MAC address they have confirmed my serial number it never occurred to ask for the MAC reset.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dgcruzing:
Understand, nothing more frustrating then something not working the way it should.

Only other thing is to check you are using the right unlock tool

I will try this out.

Update; tried your version same version as mine so same outcome.
[Asus Transformer TF701] smcmanus69:
Hey uacolon.

Actually ASUS support really surprised me. I told them the problem straigth out. they sent the update to be done in Korea or whereever. They said it has been updated. And the dam tablet Unlocked like it didn't know any different.

I put put a boot loader and CW 12.1 . Now the battery life is nothing short of Miracle. (Last charge of friday, and on Monday morning its at 60%). Copies faster, Memory and USB access is amazing.

Happy camper.
[Asus Transformer TF701] uacolon:
Hello smcmanus69

Yes its nice to have it unlocked.

what do you mean they sent the update? the serial and MAC info?

would you happen to have a case number i could point Asus to...so i can say do what you did with xxxxxxx to mine aswell?

if not no issue

I try this app another time , and . . . . .

I see a message to force unlocked , i confirme !

It's ok ! ! ! My device is unlocked , finally ! ! !

Yes , yes , yes . . . .

[Asus Transformer TF701] plants:
Confirmed

Hi All, just to confirm the unlock tool from the ASUS site does work, but the Google account verification part doesn't

Assumptions:

1. You're on OS 4.2 and above (STOCK)

2. An internet connection

3. You have a copy of the unlock tool on internal or card memory

Summary of Steps:

1. Reset Device, wait for reset and system reload (you can uncheck "blank your internal storage", it's not necessary)

2. Do not add a Google account when asked but do add a WiFi connection

3. Go into Settings > Security and check "Unknown sources"

4. Open File Manager > find the unlock tool and install

5. Open the unlock tool and waive the warnings about a lack of Google account. Continue anyway, message will confirm unlock request, device will reboot without warning

Device will take a while to unlock - you will notice "about to unlock message" on bootloader screen, reboot, then unlocked message, then the old OS reinstated

ASUS unlock tool missing

Well it's 2017 and I've finally decided that I'm sick of version 4.4.2. I'm looking for the ASUS unlock tool. I spent some time searching ASUS's website and can't find it. Many of the links given in this forum redirect to the TF701 product page. I even used site:asus.com with google to search with no luck

Above in this thread, a kind gentleman posted a link to the unlocker he used, but that was June 2016 and it's no longer active.

Any suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
I may have the tool squirreled away on my storage - I'll check when I get home - but the interesting question is: If they removed the unlock tool form their support website, did they also remove the companion tool providing the unlock token from their servers? Only one way to find out, I guess. I'll post a link here if I have the tool.

Edit: Sorry, don't have the tool
[Asus Transformer TF701] VeetVooja:
What a coincidence, i find myself in the same situation. Fortunately through a google search i stumbled across the russian ASUS site which still has the unlock tool online.

XDA wont let me post an outside link directly because its my first post but you should be able to figure out my workaround below :)

https:// w w w asus.com/ru/support/Download/28/1/0/16/aTd9aK9EFsVU1cMo/32/

I used it in de the manner mentioned 2 post's ago:

- reset device to manufacture's settings

- add wifi but no google account

- allow apps from untrusted sources

- run apk

did the trick the first time for me.

I used the reset method because even though the apk came from the https asus site etc i felt uncomfortable entering my google account details. And as it turns out the app seems to reset the device anyway.

Somewhere in the coming days i'll try to upload a custom rom to my device but I haven't done much research there yet. I hope the unlock tool works for you too and any tips or hints as to a good custom rom would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I bought an used TF701t wich came with the 4.4.2 FW.

I update it with the last stock firmware on the asus site.

I tried to unlock the bootloader, but unfortunately.

I tried with factory reset, without google account... nothing.

I tired also to contact asus, but they don't want to help me maybe because the device is too old.

Can someone please help me?

Thank you
[Asus Transformer TF701] Nektopoli:
I had the same issue with a new to me TF700t and the problem was the unlock file, from the Asus website was not the correct one.

[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Here is one. Give it a go, but there could be many reasons the process does not work. E.g. who knows if the Asus server delivering the unlock token is still active... Nobody knows and the app won't tell you why it fails.

So keep trying during different times of day and make sure you have an Internet connection and no Google account! Good luck

Thank you berndblb!

I have the good one now, an thats a good thing!

Because i have downloaded many versions, but i wasn't sure that was the good one.

I tried, and in fact, it not work. With or without Google account... nothing.

Do you think that i must reset the tablet before?

I had to try but i've made it already 3 times in one week...

I was thinking the same about the availabilty of the server.

I've sent a email to asus to ask them if the application is still working.

I'm waiting for their response.

Wait and see.

[Asus Transformer TF701] x-black:
Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, that's the version I am using. I also tried the following: downgraded to the oldest firmware, unlock, upgrade to the next firmware, unlock etc.

But it didn't help. The unlock tool keeps showing "Device unlocked", but apparently this is not the case. Flashing anything with fastboot results in "Bootloader is locked". No google account was set up in any case.

Screenshot: https://ibb.co/eMdRry

The issue was discussed in this thread and it was solved by "keep trying" https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf701/help/device-unlocked-bootloader-locked-t3676163 , however I am losing hope already...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
You cannot downgrade firmware on stock - how did you do that?:confused:

The firmware version would not make a difference anyway. Unfortunately "keep trying" is your only option. If you're below 100 attempts there's no reason to lose hope :silly:

The first thing you see when booting up would be 'The device is unlocked"
[Asus Transformer TF701] x-black:
Thanks for your reply. After I got tilted because I couldn't unlock the bootloader, I deleted too many system apps on the rooted stock firmware, which resulted in a boot loop and I couldn't fix that with a factory reset. So I tried this method https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf701/help/tf701t-nvflash-unbrick-solutiontested-t3742848 It lets you flash the oldest firmware again.

I'm way beyond 100 attempts now, but I'll let you know as soon as I succeeded :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandoTheKing:
Yesterday I recieved my phone and I unlocked the bootloader as well as rooted using CF. Today I tried to flash the OTA LRX21O (I'm on LNX07M) in TWRP but I'm getting the error "Package expects build fingerprint of google/shamu/shamu:5.0/LNX07M/1543455: user/release-keys or google/shamu/shamu : 5.0/LRX210/1570415 : user/release-keys; this device has Android/aosp_shamu/shamu:5.0LRX21M/dees_troy11191312:userdebug/test-keys"

What the heck does this mean? I also tried flashing back to stock recovery but it just ended up with an android image with "error" below it. I'm assuming it ran into the same problem. Do I need to wipe and start all over??
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akellar:
You can't install the OTA if you rooted. You'll probably need to just install the factory images via fastboot.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandoTheKing:
I thought you could always just flash them manually? When did this change? No point in rooting if I'm going to stay stock, it seems.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Faustus:
5.0 essentially makes it break OTA when you root/modify anything. This has been known for a bit now (which is why I downloaded the update before I did any rooting/unlocking on my device).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandoTheKing:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...e-means-update-will-fail-system-modified-way/

not really - you can just flash the "old" stock system image file and then install the update (or just flash the "new" system file)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandoTheKing:
Any instructions on how to do that? I'm assuming I can still get the update that way
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
It should be the same as the "back to stock" process

Download new (or old) factory images

Unzip and extract the IMG files

Take nandroid backup on phone

Reboot to recovery

Connect to PC (assuming drivers are installed)

Use fastboot to flash the necessary images

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase cache

Edit - flash the cache.img instead of just erasing cache
