Come on people. We need to send a message to Asus. This is how the TF201 got unlocked. We need more signatures!

There's a minor error on the petition's last paragraph:

"We assure you that fostering a vibrant development community around the Prime will promote sales and establish ASUS' reputation in the community as an excellent and receptive supplier of mobile devices"

It should say TF300 not Prime :D

Thanks, I fixed the typo.

Keep spreading the word!

How many signatures were there for the Prime? Anyone remember this? I do remember that there was a lot to do about this back then.
But since Asus has taken the descision once for the prime, it should be much easier to copy/paste for the 300 as they already descided what and how.

I was the 50th.

Curiosity sake, we're already able to achieve root without an unlocked bootloader. Would a locked bootloader really prevent us from custom Roms like CM9?

I signed it yesterday. I really need the unlocked bootloader, otherwise I will have to buy the super-expensive Prime!

The other petition for the tf201 prime had 3306 signatures. We have a ways to go. Thanks to everyone who signed so far. Keep spreading the word.

Maybe you could try posting the link on the Prime's forums, since now we are ASUS brothers and we should always help family :)

    Quote from the Asus Global website, on the tab "download" choose "Android" as OS, then browse to "Utilities" and download the bootloader unlock tool, it dates from 22 may 2012:

    I'm pulling up the Linux license now to look through it, it's been a long time since I've read it over but I don't think what any of these companies are doing is legal!

    GNU gpl licence unfortunately does not say anything about a bootloader. You just need to provide the source code of the kernel for free, along with your modifications. These companies do it - but to make us feel more like in the hands of Apple, they lock the hardware up so that we can't modify it. I ditched Apple just because of this policy and now I'd have to endure the same? Android device manufacturers need to compete with Apple using openness as their weapon! Wake up, Asus!
