Will remove it ASAP. Thanks for reminding me.

Do we need to flash the given firmware or will unlocking work on the firmware that came pre-installed as well? What about the 'Enable OEM Unlocking' option in developer settings? Just curious.

You need to flash the given fw.Stock fw doesn't have "Enable OEM Unlocking" Option.

@Saktis_STi can you add link for drivers in the first post?
i went to Asus support but got no drivers.

Download the latest firmware .zip file here & put it in the root of the internal storage.
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-Max-Pro-ZB602KL/HelpDesk_BIOS/
After that, reboot your phone and you'll receive an update message.

This is a great guide. I am waiting for my unit to arrive. Can't wait to unlock it.
Does unlocking it officially void the warranty? Cause I know on Xiaomi phones, they still treat such phones in warranty. Any Asus policy regarding warranty which status the warranty will be void with official unlock?
Thanks.

Yes, unlocking it officially will void the warranty. Also you won't get OTA updates if you unlock it officially.

Can't flash after Nougat-Update

Hi There,
im new here and wish to say hello to you all.
i read a lot of threads but nothing is my specific problem.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my 5c under Android 6. Then, the nougat 7 update came in and now i got the following problem:
when entering fastboot to flash twrp-recovery, my honor says "PHONE Unlocked FRP Lock" and the oem-unlock-trigger under developer options is in OFF-position and greyed out with no possibility to enable it.
When i try flashing recovery i always get the message
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (21942 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.578s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.587s
i think, that this toggle has to be in ON-position to be able to flash. Bootloader is unlocked
C:\adb>fastboot oem get-bootinfo
...
(bootloader) unlocked
Any suggestion or help for me? I need my root access but i'm not able to get it and don't know whats the exact problem. Already tried disabling all screen-locks and thins i read in other posts but nothing worked.
youre on twrp right? if you are thn you need flash stock recovery (extract from B100 firmware)

If FRP locked, you have to enable OEM Unlock function, then relock and unlock bootloader. It works, i mean it worked for me correctly.

Pretty sure that bootloader unlock keys need be generated based on each unqiue device.
It may be easier to work out why the official process isn't working for you.
EDIT: I've also just read that the Nokia support app has issues with the October security patch. If your on that months patch that may be why it's not working for you and you may simply need to wait for the issue to be resolved

As I sayed often, HMD doesn't want developments on their devices. And does all to block it.
So we will never see official bootloader unlock on other HMD devices.

gr8 news,
the HMD Bootloader Unlocker official app is now working on my TA-1052 with October patch.
It does give back the requested code and no more "not support" error.
Have a nice rooting"
Last night I tried and got my code. Cheers everyone!

Need people with unlocked bootloader for future development

As we all know the development of our device isin't going great because of the Huawei decision to stop bootloader unlocking but we have a developer who is ready to work on our device And he already successfully ported the twrp for our device which is available in the development section but future development is halted because of the lack of the required files which can only be obtained from the devices with a root access which is only possible with unlocked bootloader .So anyone who has an unlocked bootloader and want to contribute in the future development of Honor play, please! ping me or drop down a comment or a reply below.
Thank you.

Whether or not you want to modify should be your choice because you've bought the device so it's yours.

yes, legitimate, but modification can cause damage to motherboard, which would be replaced by a warranty, thus causing damage to the manufacturer, not due to improper use, therefore, to prevent this, the manufacturer may block system modification

2021 Unlock BootLoader for Free

I did a lot of research, and the only way to unlock the BootLoader for free is to use PotatoNV software. Just wanted to let you guys know, so that you dont waste your time.
Tested and it worked on P9 Lite and P20 Lite.
If you need a guide, i can make one.

Yes ! Its work on P9 Lite VNS-L21.
after use potatonv & unlock bootloader I get error " FAILED (remote: image verification error)" during installation TWRP in fastboot mode.
for fix this error , I unlock bootloader again with new bootloader code in fastboot.
type below command in fastboot :
fastboot oem unlock **************** (instead of * , type new bootloader code)

I WASTED MY time for that.Potatonv s****s because why need disassembly for that

Question Relock Zenfone8

Hi, i need to relock my Zenfone 8. Right now it's running newest Beta, but everything is fully operational. Do you have any idea, how to relock?
fastboot oem lock is not working
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk also nothing
Both are giving:
FAILED (remote: Command not supported in default implementation)
Thanks.

As far as I know, once unlocked, it is not possible no relock again.
Asus says it's can't be relocked. At least it was reply to me from their support.
I relocked mine but you cannot restore OTAs since your IMEI is permanently blacklisted with Asus.

Hi again. One guy tried this and locked his BL (with followed factory reset).
He has Android 12 (beta 2 I think) and experienced some problems with phone auto-reboot when interent/sim card is active. If SIM is removed then he can use his ZF8.
Do you have same behavior or everything is ok for you?

That person replied that those reboots were fixed by re-enabling some previously disabled apps through ADB command. It looks like too many apps were disabled.
It's interesting, will you have any OTA-updates in future or your S/N / IMEI still in blacklist for OTA's ?

No OTA; S/N is blacklisted :-( It's fine. You just download the update to storage and the phone will see it and do the update.
