You still cannot bootloader unlock and root the ASUS Zenfone 10
You still cannot bootloader unlock and root the ASUS Zenfone 10
ASUS's bootloader unlock tool has been unavailable since months now, and Zenfone 10 users have been unable to root their phones. Read on!
Unforgivable.
Related: All bootloaders should be unlockable if the device owner opts to do that. Manufacturers/carriers should not be involved in that process at all.
I hate how newer phones are designed to act like they are still owned by the manufacturer.
Hope this does change again soon. Was hoping to get a zenfone 10 for black Friday but with this decision and S23s being around the same or at a lower price on some deals there's no reason to go Asus.
Asus is a shit company, generally. I got a Zenfone 6 and I don't think it ever received any updates.
One of the last phones designed for a human hand. Hope this comes to a good resolution.
Right? I have very large hands, and I still can't use my S22+ with one hand.
I've been waiting to unlock my zenfone 9 for around 6 months now, still holding out hope for the unlock servi e to be available by the end if the year, but honestly not expecting anything to happen. It so sad too, as this phone is nearly perfect for me outside of not being unlockable (currently(?))
Please bring the fairphone 5 to the US for a good price
I'm still hoping that one day I'll be able to unlock my galaxy note 20 ultra
I don't understand why Samsung devices can't be unlocked in the US. They can be anywhere else.
Is it a carrier thing? I'm always shocked when I hear about how carriers work in the US - I don't even understand why people buy phones from the carriers in the first place. I don't buy my computer from my ISP.
Unlocking from the carrier (sim unlock) is a different thing from unlocking the bootloader. The sim lock is what is common in the US. Carriers often offer the phones cheaper than buying direct from manufacturer and offer payment plans. Usually when the phone is fully paid off they'll unlock the sim.

I'll just stick to my Lineage os device (moto-ocean)
Oof.
At this point, if people still decide to go ahead and buy a Zenphone even after all of this, then they deserve to get what's coming for them
