Try this.
Put it in your MiniSD card and execute it.
If it work, flash WWE version then.

PS. Not my work.I don't know who create this.

i must use an empty mini sd right ?

how do i flash WWE ?sorry i am not experienced in this field and even shops in my town do not provide such a service. I called Asus Malaysia, they are not helpful at all. I even asked if i could go to their service centre and pay for the service, they said no.

what is the worse that could happen if something goes wrong ?

[jcheok2]

i have run it in my asus p535 ...

it says ROM language ID: 404 (i think it is 404 too fast u couldn't see), now unlocking....

after that noting came out...

i try executing it again ....now it says my ROM language ID:0 , but my ROM is still HK00 , changing it to WWE MY00 is difficult, different region, different language.
does this mean it worked ? how do i continue ? thanks so much

Do you have a *.cap file (official Firmware)? If so, do the following


Download this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=43988&d=1184515488).
Run "P535RomTool.exe -d6 AsusP535.cap" on command line.
Note 1: AsusP535.cap has to be in the same dir as P535RomTool.exe.
Note 2: If your file has another name, take the right one!
Copy the resulting GalaxyII.nb0 file to a clean SD Card.
Run ASUS.UnlockLangId.exe on your p535.
Perform power+photo+record+reset
Enjoy!
