The mini is different.
It is quite different from the Padfone X. Intel Atom based and a locked bootloader.

So the asus bootloader unlocked don't work but I paid so it could be unlocked

I managed to find one myself, but thanks for the offer. I'll be making 2 nandroids, since there's not much file size difference. Not making a third one for 100MB savings when the file's still 1GB... In other words, don't expect a "debloated" one from meIt's hard enough remembering which one has the current set of backups since I have to do a serious shuffle to restore the broken one.
1) make sure data backup works on new one
2) put backups of the stock rooted one on the old phone
3) flash SuperSU
4) reboot into OS, restore stock recovery
5) unroot via SuperSU
6) Reboot into recovery, factory reset again...
on step 5. unroot via SuperSU, does it also work for padfone S?
i'm curious because sometimes when updating official firmware is not working when you device on rooted condition so needs to unroot.
thanks in advance.
Did you try v1 ?
Got it from here:
View attachment TowelRoot_v1.apk
It worked for me, I just received my PadFone X yesterday and the tr.apk didnt work because it was v3. I downloaded the v1 and it was perfect.

TowelRoot_v1 and Kingo Root doesn't work for me. Build number is ATT_11.10.8.16. Another method pls?
Thats what I had before converting to padfone s fw.
Might need to try again
Towel root should definitely work because it worked with mine, idk what could be the problem.
Maybe power off the phone then power it back on and the first thing you do is run that app and let it do its job.
Then get supersu and root checker and make sure it does root.
You might want to try Kingroot, it should also work, (similar to kingoroot), its the real deal.
One thing to note that you cannot get or use supersu since it actually manages the root permissions itself, which is just perfect for you to flash a recovery via flashify. (CWM is preferred)
Once at the recovery find and flash the Crowlock file and the bootloader should be unlocked.

Finally I resolve the problem, uninstalling kingroot and clean installation towelroot v1 works well!
(bootloader) device tampered: False (bootloader) device unlocked: True
Phone is unlocked with Kingroot apk, currently running CWM recovery image. I flashed crowlock zip via CWM and TWRP. Don't know if it worked. This is what the fastboot oem device-info says
(bootloader) device tampered: False
(bootloader) device unlocked: True
What's it mean?

It looks like it worked just fine.
Device tampered would have been a different situation since it would have been locked down a little bit more, but your absolutely fine.
Congrats.
