You'll need to explain what you mean. You want an image to flash that has an unlocked bootloader? cause thats not possible.
You'll need to unlock it manually.

Hamdogg, I specifically need the actual image of the unlocked bootloader partition. Basically through adb shell and running the following command to pull the aboot partition, which is the bootloader, and pull it into the sdcard, dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.img
Do you have an unlocked bootloader? If so could you possibly dump that image for me?

Yeah I'll do it when I get back... might be a few days. Ahhhh actually its locked.
Umm... when my other one.. my C6802 gets back from repair I'll unlock that again and do it.
I have no idea when that will be fixed.

Crap. I was hoping it was 2 mb. I need to find a bootloader that is 2mb from a Snapdragon 800 device, not including the kindle hdx.

JTAG?

Could we flash a unlocked boot loader via jtag?

hrm.....
I wish to know this as well
I wonder if one person can do this, if they can then do a system dump and it would work for others?
Here's the latest on a JTAG solution:

That would be awesome provided we do not need to each send our phone in to get the bootloader unlocked.

Wouldn't one person be able to do it, do a system dump and then send it to the rest of us?

Once you unlock bootloader and install twrp can you return to stock?

Thanks for the reply but how? Would I flash the stock image in twrp? Would that remove twrp after?

you should check the forum before you post and see the link was already posted
If you unlock with a code through Hauwei's official process they will have a record that you requested the code.
It's not a blanket "voided" warranty thing, since they specifically say the warranty is voided if the issue is a result of dev work (therefore not voiding the warranty out right from unlocking), BUT I assume how they evaluate that is up to them.
Also, just a FYI when the bootloader is re locked it states it as "relocked" in thr bootloader instead of Locked.

Multi-Window Marshmallow

Im wondering if its possible to enable multi-window on this tablet now that marshmallow has released. I know its most likely possible on unlocked bootloader with root but i was wondering if the same could be possible for locked bootloader?
Here's a link if it helps:

No, build.prop edits need root or a custom recovery from which you can edit build.prop on the system partition:

I thought so damn although I did notice a recovery boot file in the system folder no idea if there's an actual recovery but I don't think I can access it anyway. If only sony provided us with a stock recovery like other OEMs. Seeing this feature on the Z4T I'm sure will be great. I thought it might have been possible to pull the build.prop without recovery using adb but I guess not. If only there was root on locked BL...?

Yes, if only. Maybe this fresh MM ROM has some vulnerability that can be exploited to gain root. But knowing Sony’s extensive, custom countermeasures, I think chances are very slim.
Just unlock your bootloader and fully enjoy this tablet

Haha lol I could do that but I'm worried about warranty cus I've been having WiFi issues that come and go I plan to unlock my BL after 2 years when warranty runs out so next year.

I need testing help

Hello everyone,
As you know there are people working on the laf exploit, well I found my way and now I'm helping out on the v30 end. Unfortunately, I have Verizon variant of the v30 when right now I need the the fully unlocked us998. Can I get somebody who would be willing to work with me who has that specific variant? Let me know if you'd be willing to help by commenting down below and I will contact you via xda messages to start. Thank you ahead of time for willingness to help! Hope to hear comments really quickly! Thank you
I have the US998 V30+
I just flashed it to the Verizon Oreo KDZ. Not sure if it is any different than yours now.
Let me know if I can help.
I guess it depends what you mean by "fully unlocked."

If you can do me a favor and try to see if you have full fastboot commands? If you need help with that let me know!
- Thank you
How would I determine that?
Device does not respond to fastboot devices or fastboot reboot.

US998 (US Cellular) it's not unlocked but it does have fastboot commands. How can we get root? I'm willing to help with mine for testing purposes. I also have a H912 (but I think that was cracked already?)

I didn't want to give ASUS a heads up on the issue, but I don't care anymore. You can use a "raw" firmware to relock the bootloader. But this will not restore Over The Air (OTA) updates.

Ok, thank you much for the info. I just ordered the ASUS ROG Phone yesterday, coming from the Note9. Just trying to brush up on the device and recovery options etc before it arrives. Also hoping I have made a huge mistake. :laugh:
What is a RAW firmware? Cause I always use whatever update they have online to flash mine.

Here is a WW raw firmware; others can be found with Google:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78160485&postcount=24
For anyone still interested, according to the flashall.cmd packaged with the RAW firmware the relevant command seems to be "fastboot oem asus-csc_lk" @Tesla74 as the cmd file actually checks if the Bootloader was unlocked and then relocks it I don't think this is a mistake or something unintentionally done by Asus but wanted this way
Kind regards
Have you sorted ? Managed to relock ?
