[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] arjun_m4:
Working perfectly tested and rooted. Steps are easy to follow.

1) Download the ENG firmware and flash it following the steps.

2) Then follow this post and the commands to extract asuskey4 and add ISN to the asuskey4.

3) Flash WW ROM back to the phone.

4) Use Unlock tool and then done.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] volrathix:
by far one of the best contributions of the forum, I don't usually comment, but I had to thank you
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Nik2424:
This is huge! The answer everyone with Tencent WW phones were looking for! Thank you
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
Could anyone please elaborate step 1 (flashing the ENG firmware provided)?

My phone enters edl mode and I see port 9008 in the device manager.

What should I do next?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] johnny886:
yes,very easy
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
Can NOT flash ENG firmware..

Method # 1 : "0-update_image_EDL.bat" does not even start

Method # 2 : ERROR_UNSUPPORTED_TYPE

Method # 3 : Download Fail:FireHose Fail: FHLoader Fail: process fail

SOS guys! I am in deep sh*t!!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
I cant find the SSN in the device.txt ... Only ISN is available .. ?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] arjun_m4:
You can see SSN on our phone when you boot up ENG firmware just type urself to the editor.

Find the address mentioned and start typing from first 0 u will see the HEX changing and then verify it's correct and save
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] arjun_m4:
Can you check if your phone is being recognized as EDL maybe the drivers are installed wrong. I can verify that the files provided works 100% and you have to use left side type c of the Asus not the bottom.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] johnny886:
SSN can be seen on the homepage of the mobile phone after flashing the ENG firmware, or on the packaging box of your mobile phone.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Akkaya34:
Asuskey4 software download link please
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] falhumai96:
Thanks, @johnny886! Btw, can you change your post to "General" instead of "Question", and pin it to this forum so people would use it as a reference in the future?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
My ROG5 is being shown in Device Manager as Qualcomm 9008. So I guess it has entered in EDL mode.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] arjun_m4:
Could you reinstall the drivers I have faced issues like this before with other Qualcomm devices. Reinstall Qualcomm drivers it should work. And remember to install with disable signature enforcement.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] johnny886:
I think you haven't figured out how to do it. Please read the steps carefully before proceeding. . .
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
Appreciate your response mate! I will try again after reinstalling QCOM drivers. Could you please share that driver you are using?

Also, my PC does NOT detect ROG5 when using the official USB-C on both end cable. I have to use another cable with USB in one end and USB-C in the other end. Do you think that might be an issue?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nguyenhung9x2018:
With lost imei , imei=0 , I correct imei , SN in asuskey4 but it not unlock
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] arjun_m4:
The asuskey4 should contain SSN and ISN then only it will unlock. Make sure it's there and how come you lost your IMEI I tried this for 2 separate devices and I didn't face any issue.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nguyenhung9x2018:

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Nik2424:
Flash ENG firmware first, then backup your partitions
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] johnny886:
My method is only suitable for machines whose CN is converted to WW and IMEI is normal. As for the loss of IMEI, unfortunately, I have no alternative except after-sales service. They have special tools to repair IMEI.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nguyenhung9x2018:
OK. Thanks !. I want aks you rom eng rog5s on post , i flash it , it only reboot to fastboot . I checked file ramprogram rog5s eng then missing super.img ?

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
Couldn't find ISN in device.txt

There is a line -

[persist.vendor.asus.serialno]: [C4ATAS000000]

Putting C4ATAS000000 in asuskey4 & then pushing it successfully. But this key seems to be NOT working!

After flashing WW-RAW, asus unlock app says "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[24802]".

Also, my fingerprint has been disabled now!

Appreciate any help, please..
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
Where did you find the ISN available? My device.txt or home screen has no such thing!
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] aimsjahan:
My home screen after flashing the ENG F/W. Don't know where to get this ISN.

I am desperate enough to upload my asuskey4 (remove .txt extension) file & device.txt! Pls take a look into them & help me out guys

I would love to do this. But I'm my country I paid $1260 New Zealand for it. The box was not sealed when I ordered it an the bootloader is sealed tight. I'm not sure which version or it's been converted?

Is it possible for someone to make an instructional video an upload to YouTube?

It says senior developer on my profile as I've been with xda for years an helped people.

I'm a forklift driver lol. I can't even write code.

Is this something noobs could manage?

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] BakaValen:
hold all 3 buttons until the phone reboots. should allow you in after that. i had that once. no idea what caused it tho
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] azoth428:
Ok so I have done everything except flashing the original firmware back to the device. I am not sure how to do this as it was unclear. just says flash it back but doesnt give me any idea on how to do this and everything I have tried has failed.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] azoth428:
NVM. I figured it out. I was actually going into recovery and entering fastbootd. Once it tried it at the first screen it installed flawlessly.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] JazonX:
Whats the code to re-lock the bootloader again ?

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] LinhBT:
I followed exactly your instructions, but still my 5S has null IMEI and baseband, therefore, unable to unlock the bootloader. But the Device-info ( when device's at fastboot mode ) is like attached. Pls suggest, tks!

This thread was the answer I was looking for and it looks like i'm too late. Just a few days short by the looks of it :cry:

What happened to this sub-forum? Why are the people that are trying to help feeling like they shouldn't?

Hopefully someone can share and help the ones capable to do this. Just need a point in the right direction. Kicking myself for waiting that week to research now...

@johnny886 It really sucks that people drove you to this.
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] azoth428:
Bro don't let the haters win. You solved this issue for me when no one else could. Everyone I asked said it was impossible and that the Asus unlock app only worked once and because the phone had already been unlocked and then relocked by tencent I would never have root. Keep you post up just to spite whoever hated on your success. I wish I hadn't deleted the files or I would mirror them. Anybody have those files?
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] Pawer8:
Same. I was about to buy the phone. It is the only one that has all the features I need.

credits to @ashrah28. Could you also share you backed up files if your fingerprint and sim 1 calling is working? TIA
[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] AgentLoneStar007:
For anyone who may have followed the instructions yet didn't finish them or something, and needs them, I compiled the original post via the Wayback Machine. The links to download the file are broken, but even if they weren't I wouldn't distribute it because the firmware isn't mine to distribute.

Original Post:​

If your ROG3/ROG5/ROG5S is a CN version, but it is WW firmware when you buy it, then the Bootloader cannot be unlocked,

or it prompts that the unlocking is successful, but the Bootloader is still not unlocked after restarting.

Why is it like this? Because Chinese merchants do not master the correct method of converting WW firmware, your mobile

phone ISN is lost, so it cannot be unlocked. You only need to restore the correct SSN and ISN to unlock the Bootloader.

Because many people privately wrote me to ask for help, I have no way and no time to help solve them one by one, so I

will share the method and let you do it yourself.

1. You must flash the ENG firmware that I released. If you flash the ENG firmware found elsewhere, your fingerprints and

IMEI may be lost, and the phone cannot be used normally.

2. Use the dd command to back up asuskey4 to the computer

- adb shell

- su

- dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/asuskey4 of=/sdcard/asuskey4

- adb pull /sdcard/asuskey4 (Here is the directory name of your computer, for example adb pull /sdcard/asuskey4 C:\Users\johnny886\Desktop\rog5)

3. Read the correct SSN and ISN of the mobile phone, and then write the SSN and ISN into asuskey4

- adb shell getprop >device.txt

Then use notepad++ or other editing tools to open device.txt

Search SSN, copy SSN to the new text, search SSN, copy ISN to the text. Then use winhex or UltraEdit to open asuskey4,

write the SSN and ISN to the correct address, SSN address: 00000000h ISN address:00000180h, then save the file, and

use the command to restore asuskey4 to the phone partition.

4. Use the dd command to restore asuskey4 to the phone

- adb push ...\asuskey4 /sdcard/ (for example adb push C:\Users\johnny886\Desktop\rog5\asuskey4 /sdcard/)

- adb shell

- su

- dd if=/sdcard/asuskey4 of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/asuskey4

5. Enter fastboot mode, flash the official raw WW firmware, and install the official website unlock tool after entering the system to unlock the phone.

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] nasch007:
This is a total necro and I'm sorry, but I've done similar stuff and hoping someone out there sees this and avoids our mistakes. You started an adb shell which means you're running a shell on your device. Once you dd you've saved the partition. When you go to pull the file using adb pull, you cannot do it from within the shell you're running. You've got to exit the adb shell FIRST (exit), then you can pull the files. Non of the commands worked because it is looking in the shell on your phone for them, rather than the adb.exe in your computer's platform-tools folder.

I hope this helps. I stumbled across this thread because I'm trying to snag that asuskey4. Hopefully this works!

[General Questions and Answers] evilhilda:
Hi I baught a Galaxy A52s 5G two days ago and I noticed after switching to 60fps from 120fps that 2 pink stuck pixel appear in top left area of my screen. When I turn the refresh rate to 120 the pink pixel color disappears (they works normally). Any game running at 60hz also shows these pixels. Last time I was playing a new stuck pixel appeared, this time its color is cyan, when I looked at the pink pixel that gets stuck i found out that it started working normally, and after 1 minute the cyan one disappeared and the pink reappeared again. After inspecting using a white image i noticed another light blue one at the top too. When I play Genshin Impact it annoys me sinse I have never had this issue with my previous galaxy phones. I'm asking now if there is a fix to this. Thank you to anyone who will reply to me.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

Try a hard reboot.

Try it in safe mode.

Test the display with ScreenTest.

Factory reset, test before loading 3rd party apps.

However it sound like a defective display matrix or mobo. Return it if you can't resolve the issue.
[General Questions and Answers] evilhilda:
The first three did nothing. the display test in 60hz shows the defect pixels while the same test in 120hz does not show any.

Does this mean that its definitely a hardware failure ? i hope that its only a software issue. I used the samsung members to report the error, I dont know if they wilp ever reply, I reported yesterday night.

The defect pixels are visible as soon qs I click on the 60hz and hit ok in Display settings, and they magically disappear after selecting 120hz and hiting ok.

Edit: knowing the samsung service in my country i'm almost certain that they will just mock me and laugh about this as its not really visible unless you really look for it.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I'm leaning more towards it being hardware than firmware in this case.

Samsung has had a lot of issues with their variable refresh rate displays.

I would really make the seller eat this one.

Your call.
[General Questions and Answers] evilhilda:
Thank you for your replies. I wish i could make them change the phone but i'm certain they wont. I read in many posts of people who encountred the same issue, and even if they accept to replace the screen I know that the people who do repairs at samsung are really bad and dont care about scratching your phone or using visible glue to assemble it, I had an experience with A20 which had its fast charging broken and only charged at 5w, they replaced the bottom piece that houses the usb port but the back was very scratched and you can see the glue used, and I wasn't even sure if its really mine or someone else's phone as they factory reset it before working on hardware stuff. Let alone the time they need to get the part and fix it.

I'll just hope that they'll fix it, a friend of mine told that screen hardware defects can be corrected by software, bit if it was hpu defect i dont think there is mush they can do.

Anyway thank you for your replies its really appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I would do a refund for cash. Not sure what consumer rights you have in your country.

In the US I can right the defective product and if a MC or Visa was used the bank can do a charge back to the merchant for a full refund.

I think it's a matrix failure, a capacitor(s) or thin-film transistor(s). It could be the OLED pixels themselves. They are very complex displays.
