I have a completely stock TF201 running 4.1.1.
I am unable to boot into recovery and end up with red exclamation error.
This has been RMAed three times due to charging issues and the ASUS unlock tool will not work (Getting the usual 'network connection issue' error).
I've talked with ASUS support multiple times with regards to the unlock tool and they dismiss it saying they will not support unlocking the device.
I have also tried asking ASUS support to get help with device tracker, even escalating the issue, and they have all said the same thing: "There is no problem on our end, we cannot help you."
Without being able to unlock the bootloader, is there any possible way to get 4.4 on this device?

Hi everyone,
Today I have been trying all day to unlock the bootloader of my Transformer Prime. I keep getting "An unknown error occurs, which maybe network connection issue please try again later"
This started on .21. I've tried unrooting then rerooting, downgrading the firmware to .15. I've tried turning off the firewall on my router to allow for the app to communicate with Asus. I'm running out of options. Thanks for any help.
Oh, I did not have the Unknown Serial error.
I feel like this describes my entire day. I was able to unlock it this morning on .21, but like you ended up downgrading from .21 to .15. Thus re-locking the bootloader. After going through everything to downgrade I tried to unlock it again using the asus tool and I got the error you just listed. Anyone else experiencing this issue?

You can't relock the bootloader... If you unlocked you'll stay unlocked.

I realize your warranty is void forever,but the boot screen no longer says unlocked on startup so I'm inclined to think it relocked
Hi,
Did you get your tablet unlock?
I have this exact same issue. Tried the same steps, nothing works.
I have the same problem. Same error message. I heard around that u can only unlock the device once. I unlock my prime before I bricked it and send it in for repair.

Did you Try removing your gmail id and then unlock it?
Reset tab to factory default,
set Wifi connection
manually set clock to local time,
use Unlock tool v6.
Long story short:
My goal is to root this TF201 (latest kernel&4.1.1).
A few weeks ago I successfully RMA:ed my bootloader unlocked transformer and got it back soon with a replaced motherboard.
Now when I try unlocking it through the ASUS Bootloader Unlocker app V6 it tells me something like "An unknown error has occured" every time I try to run through the procedure.
From what I've read in other threads it, the unlocker app, uses the devices' serial number and matches it with the ASUS servers, so my guess is that since i have the same SN as before it think that i'm trying to unlock an unlocked device which is neither allowed nor supported.
So my question now for you, more experienced and qualified, guys is: am i completely boned, or is there any other way to unlock via other software, or simply what would you recommend?
To me this device isn't really worth keeping unless it's rootable
Hello,
I want to bring my dad's TF201 back to life. It's on stock but that's extremely slow & laggy so I want to flash a custom rom on it. The only problem is that the device is locked and de unlocking tool from ASUS does not work on my tablet.
It says that there is a unknown error and something with the connection. That could be a fault with the serial number but when I go to device info, the serial number is visible so that is not te problem I guess.
Is there a fix for it or is there another method to unlock the TF201?
EDIT: I succeeded to unlock my bootloader. After a lot of tryouts I got a popup to log in with my google account.
But that was my other problem, It was constantly saying that my password was invalid (2 step verification was disabled).
So I removed my google account from my tablet and after another try my tablet was unlocked.
Motorola G4 XT1625
Minor Problem: Phone will not start normally, only boots into Fastboot mode.
Minor Problem: Phone is oem Locked
Major Problem: I never went into "settings" on the phone and ENABLED OEM UNLOCKING.
Question: Is it possible to get this phone flashed with stock ROM?
A little background. Not a developer, phone started acting up a few days ago, shutting down or rebooting on its own, do not remember anything such as an update or my clearing of the cache occurring in that time frame, but I was still hoping it was a software issue that would work itself out. Now the phone fails during start up and reports this
STARTUP FAILED
ERROR: Failed to pass validation , backup to fastboot.
It does mention I should use Software Repair Assistant to recover the phone, which correct me if I'm wrong , only works with Verizon phones. I did try the SRA, it connected to the phone, but would stall about halfway through.
I have found much info on this forum regarding unlocking the bootloader of this phone, I have installed on Moto tools on my PC, requested and received an unlock code, connected to the phone and can send commands via command line. Unfortunately when I send the oem unlock the phone responds that I need to enable development mode in settings, which I cannot get to because the phone wont boot to the OS. Is there an easy way around this that I'm just not seeing?
In the end the problem may be hardware related, I just hate to give up on it so easily. Contacted Motorola about the device, as it turns out the unit was 6 days out of warranty ( that's if you use the Amazon ship date, it was only actually 2 days out if you use the activation date). Their response was as expected, sorry can't help you, thanks for being a Motorola customer, have wonderful day, next........

TF201 Unlocking Issues. "Device is unlocked" when using app, but not on boot
Hello everyone!
I'm unfortunately stuck on step 3 of this guide for getting katkiss on TF201: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tr...uide-tutorial-asus-transformer-prime-t3486237
I was able to upload the apk for the unlock_device_app_v6, and install it, but when it comes down to 'press to unlock your device', I originally got "Failed to unlock device, please try again later". I've tried multiple times to no avail.
I decided to remove my SD card, and try again, and (maybe by pure coincidence), it now says "The device is unlocked" when I click on the 'press to unlock your device', however, there was never a reboot, or a restart.
I decided to continue, but I'm unable to fastboot the flatline_tf201.img file (failed remote invalid state), which I guess means I don't have the bootloader unlocked. When booting the transformer prime, I don't have the text in the top left. I've already factory reset. I have not rooted.
Any advice? Am I missing something?
Thank you
Same problem
