[Q] Unlock Bootloader Tool - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hey guys, I'm having trouble unlocking the bootloader on my TF201.
Every time I launch the ASUS supplied app and click the unlock button, I get the message that an unknown error has occurred and to try again later. This has been occuring for several weeks since I tried to do this.
Android Version : 4.1.1
Build Number: JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122
If it helps, I did have to RMA my tablet due to the unknown serial number issue when I first got it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

sorry...
Unfortunately, this thread is all about your problem:

I just posted an update, so you may want to check the last page of that thread. The short answer is...without doing something, you probably won't get it fixed. Also, doing another RMA, probably also won't help. My post is *very* detailed, and hopefully it helps you understand why RMAing probably won't fix the problem (unless, of course, you have no serial number...which is a necessity).

Thank you so much for your reply!
What firmware and android version were you on when you contacted ASUS via email?

If you're asking what I had when I first contacted them and then sent in for the RMA...I don't recall anymore. It was at least 4.1.1 and TW 10.4.2.17 (or newer).
After the RMA, they reimaged it and I had the following when I contacted them the final time (and they ultimate ended up fixing it, server side):
Android version: 4.1.1
Kernel: 3.1.10-00004-gc770ddc [email protected])) #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Oct 18 15:38:00 CST 2012
Build number: JRO03C.WW_epad-10.4.2.17-20121018
Pad EC version: TF201-PAD-0215
In the email, I also included my serial number and wifi MAC address for their reference.

Alright thank you, because when I first contacted them they said the problem was unfixable because I was not on 4.0. I'll try contacting them and tell them I am on 4.0. This really helps, I appreciate it.
