I'm trying to come up with a way to relock my Bootloader... Does anybody know how it's done on the ROG? I tried running oem lock in fastboot but it kept saying error.

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 ?

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.
Here is the engineering bootloader/kernel for the Sprint Note 7 (N930P). This will not flash in any Odin version I've tried, including the newest 3.12.4. This was pulled straight from the legit TAR image, but attempting to flash the TAR or just the boot.img gives a Secure Check Failed : boot message in Odin. I have managed to flash it with dd in adb with our "userdebug" software leak (PH3), but upon booting, it gives the message below.
Hopefully one of you other talented people will have a solution to flashing this ...
Good luck bro! ?

literally all i wanted was root i dont really care about custom roms anymore. goodluck freeza, i used your kernel on my tmo note 4 and it was a beast. Ill send you some weed money.
This is strange, are you sure it's eng boot.img cause I get all eng boot.img before someone release them publicly, I had att eng boot.img for all models and T-Mobile s7 s7 edge... So if it was true eng boot.img it shouldn't give this error, it would just fail and not flash do to it either being patched or new software rev
Check your pm

I know on the s7 Edge you needed to use the special Odin that skipped some check. Could that be the issue?

It looks like Asus has provided us with the unlock tool for the Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Hopefully someone can make a guide to help users unlock their bootloader. Does anyone think this has a chance of working on the special edition version?
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/
I'm not sure of that would be the same for this....
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/
EDIT: Yeah i was correct this is only 5.5 for now, just have to wait a bit for 5.7 once they do so. until then if we have any testers for 5.5 they should start it now and get this phone hype up, if it works.
As I've been saying... as soon as they get off their behinds and release a bootloader unlock, I'll buy. Looking at you 256gb special edition! Common Asus!

Best way to do so, is word of mouth and contact there support. Then it will go from there.
We have the deluxe bootloader non special edition unlock tool out in the public for about a month and nobody who posts in XDA has said much about it yet. My fear is interest in this phone isn't so high so we'll never get a guide or solution to unlock the bootloader for the deluxe or special edition.
Has anyone with the deluxe tried using the unlock tool?

yes I flashed it via recovery mode, I haven't attempted the adb loader.
after further inspection to the zip file, DO NOT FLASH IT VIA RECOVERY. install it via the apk within the zip file. this unlocks the bootloader. as of now my zs550kl boot loader is unlocked and i will proceed with trying to get it rooted.

Alright that is very good news, keep us posted, sadly can't do much here for the 5.7 until then. As well post some screenshots as well.
I am a bit of a noob to the root scene. Last device I rooted was a galaxySII. I now have a zs550kl as I am trying to make my way back into the cutting-edge arena. I would like to see a root for this as my career has an imei lock on the data signal and I would like to spoof this with the imei of the varied bought device.
hello man! I am looking all over the web trying to find the bootloader unlock tool you mentioned that works for the 5.7 inch, would you drop a link or post a comment on where to find it? thank you for considering!
so im guessing theres going to be no deveolpment for the lgv60?

Wow.. nice
It seems like there's a variant of the V60 that can be bootloader unlocked (the Euro ver.) and back when I had the V30 we did something similar where you would have to convert your NA variant (Or any variant that was not listed in LG's official bootloader unlocking site [EXCEPT T-MOBILE]) to the supported variant's firmware then flash the unlock.bin file.
I dont know how useful this will be for the V60 though, just sharing my previous experience just too scared to test this method on my daily driver.

Yes, european versions(mine) always get bootloader unlock. But from what I know it's impossible to unlock any other versions untill someone find an exploit. And since v60 isn't very popular I doubt there will be unlock for any other version of it(about european).

Only European version of v60 supports bootloader unlocking. So you can't get root.
That's why I'll never buy this. Will stick with my old LG which is good enough.
damn what a shame, such a great phone and yet not much interest in general.
According to Unlock Bootloader Support list from LG, LMV600EA is the only device ca n be root
with the long battery life and extra screen and stylus , the v60 might be my first daily driver thats not got root.
I used to use lots of apps for root, mainly firewall to block apps from internet use and UI apps for fast system navigation and non standard features, but most of these can now be done with non root apps and cloning apps with networking disabled now, so im feeling i might just survive without the few apps that do need root.

Hi, can you give me the hint how you catched the boot.img to patch magisk? I'm not able to dump it from the phone or extract from the original kdz-archive.
