Is there any way to unlock the bootloader on the Prime besides the Asus Unlock tool? I also get the error message (rooted stock ROM), and like many others have had my Prime RMA'd. Is there no other way to unlock the Prime?
Currently the official unlock is the only way to go about unlocking your device.

One way to check is to check the root of the sdcard for a file called unlock_time.txt

1. See if you can get OTA update.
2. Contact Asus through e-mail or phone, and give them your serial number, and ask if it is unlocked.
Try using the blob downgrade method. If it bricks then your bootloader was unlocked.

Motorola announced they will be unlocking bootloaders. What are the odds they allow it on older devices...

Will this official unlock allow 4G on custom roms?

Monkeys just flew out of my butt...
interesting that the article states, " Photon Q will be the first device to have support for the unlock tool."
I was under the impression that the Photon Q was being shipped unlocked out of the box based on what tsdeaton said.

Everything I read said it would be unlockable, not unlocked out of the box.

Has anyone tried the verify tool on the Motorola unlock site yet to see if photon is supported?

Looks like photon Q, razr developer edition, xoom (Verizon and wifi). That's it. I am disappoint.

Motorola also decided that all of us overpaid for our products and is shipping us a refund.

On android central they said that (this is about other phones) "moto says that they have to evaluate that on a phone by phone basis, and that they have worked with Sprint to come up with a solution that's favorable to everyone involved." And no it's not unlocked out of the box.

Too much beggin and problems with this phone that is why I am considering going with a Samsung phone.
BY the time ICS (way later sometime this year) gets official and with a locked bootloader what is the point anymore?

Unless you're already stuck with a locked bootloader on 2.3.5, than when official ICS drops for our device, I guarantee that users will be able to flash the official update with a modified unlocked bootloader!
Also, when official ICS does come out, that'll cure ALL out current minor issues with custom ROMs! To be really honest with you tho, the custom Jelly Bean ROMs we have out now in the development section are a TON more stable and usable than the ICS ROMs that we had previously!

Hi,
So i did the manual update to jelly bean 4.1.1 to my asus tf 201 while back and lost root
Now i realized how much I need root.
Whats the options I have to regain root?
I got US Variant locked bootloader
I think your only option is to unlock at this point. Stick androwook on there.
i need it too.

So i havent rooted my phone yet and i updated the phone with the recent OTA update. Does this mean that I cannot currently get s-off. If so, are there anyways to remove the update? Also, if i had s-off but I had to return the device to verizon for a replacement, would I be able to completely bring the phone back to stock (stock rom and have it say "locked" as opposed to "re-locked"). Does verizon even care if you send back a device that says "re-locked"?

As far as I know, after the update, you can't get s-off. I'm not even sure you can unlock. I'm looking into this now for my own reasons.

If you've taken the ota you can not get supercid which prevents you from unlocking which prevents you from getting s off.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Devs are working on a root for the people who updated, and you can change your device to say locked after you s-off i think...
You can change it back to LOCKED(not RELOCKED). The bootloader still says s-off though.

Hey all,
So I wanted to load up a custom ROM on my DNA eventually, unfortunately I didn't read that accepting the latest Verizon OTA would not allow me to do that, and therefore I took the OTA.
I was wondering, is it possible to downgrade to the original build (1.15 i think) that shipped with the phone via an RUU? Because then I would be able to use the current unlock method, correct?
Thanks!
p.s I read around, and I didn't see anything about this, but I apologize if I missed it.
No, it is currently impossible to unlock your phone.

Thanks for a speedy reply! I had a hunch that would be so, oh well, I can live with it stock. It's really good as is!
You can pay for a jtag service.

I was about to suggest that too. Its only $45 I think for the guy in Dallas and well worth it. I've been in communication with them and they have been GREAT to work with on several issues, I'd send my phone to them in a heartbeat.
To find the thread Google "XDA DNA s off for the impatient."
