ASUS TF700T unlock and root JB 4.2.1 stock

[talespin]

Unlocker won't let me past the Google account verification

UNDER "UTILITES" THE SECOND SAYS VERSION 7 ASUS UNLOCK TOOL (YES I'M AWARE IT SAYS FOR ICS ONLY BUT I HAVE TRIED IT AND IT WORKS WITH JB 4.2.1)
DOWNLOAD IT EITHER FROM THE TABLET ITSELF OR LOAD IT TO AN SD CARD.
IT IS AN APK FILE SO IT WILL INSTALL AS AN APP.
RUN IT, AND *SCROLL DOWN TO THE END* ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, AND AGREE TO IT. THE TABLET WILL REBOOT AND ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER IT WILL SAY "UNLOCKING DEVICE" GIVE IT 5 MINS DONT FREAK OUT. ONCE DONE, IT WILL SAY "DEVICE UNLOCKED" AND THERE YOU GO...

I'm experiencing a bizarre and aggravating problem: I recently bought a new, urefurbished TF700 because, well, it was really cheap at this point. It's running 4.2.1 and doing it s l o w l y. I decided to root and was happy to find this thread, even though it goes back a ways.
I downloaded the ICS unlocker and installed it. No problem. But when I try to run it, it asks me to confirm my Google account and when I enter the password, it today's the message " password invalid". Repeatedly. WTH? I'm simply not able to get beyond this point. I've factory reset, deleted and reset up my Google account from the tablet, even changed my password on the Asus site to the same as my Google password just in case. Nada.
Any advice?

Do a factory reset, do NOT set up a Google account, run the tool. Has worked many times

This is the FIX.

1. Download the Un-Lock tool for the TF-701, it can be found on the ASUS website and save it to your external SD card so that you will always have it.
2. Factory reset and don't associate your Google account (ASUS device tracker is defunct and you won't be able to verify your Google account
3. Run the Un-Lock tool on the factory reset TF-700 from the External SD card.

If you get the "un-known Error , Network try again later, yada yada yada.....It means that the ASUS server is not online or just busy not a fault of yours or mine. and you need to try again later as it says.

I have found that around 12pm EST is when its online for me usually you can do the math on that for your time zone. But keep trying as it does work. I would try every hour or so

Good Luck

Anyone have the link to the unlock tool (ver. 7) I went to Asus site and it appears that no matter where I go or what I search for I cannot find the page to download it. I do have version 6 that I used on my TF201 but don't want to risk bricking my TF700.
Thanks

What dire situation? You don't need to downgrade. Just follow this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2688891

If you DO want to go about it by downgrading:

1.) Download the firmware (do a Google search, as a newbie I can't post external links)
2.) Extract the ZIP - there will be another ZIP in that folder
3.) Connect tablet to computer
4.) Move ZIP to internal storage
5.) Reboot tablet
6.) You should get a notification in the lower right that an update is available. Click on that and it will ask to confirm installation of the new (old) firmware.
7.) It'll do it's thing, maybe 5-10 minutes. Then it'll reboot. Just give it time.

Hi, I can't find the apk in the asus site... I think that they have removed the TF700T section.
Can someone send me the apk?

 

[berndblb]

Follow the link in my post two above yours. Everything you need is in that thread

I got JB 4.2 with 10.6.1.14.10. I can I down grade to 10.6.1.14.08?
Regards,
Ben

If you are unlocked, yes. But why would you do that?

Hi all,

I think I'm being a bit of a numbnuts here but for the life of me I'm struggling to free my tablet up. Its currently running very very slow, when you select something to happen there's anything between 30 secs to 1min lag. All I want to do is install an android version, don't care which, that will allow this tablet to work smoothly. It's been relegated to being used for reading materials and kids games, but even then there's major lag and the kids dont' want to know (which is a good thing) but I still have an almost brick.
Having read the various instructions across many threads about unlocking/rooting/installing I'm still having trouble, not sure if it's age or whatever but anyway.

Does anyone know if any folks are willing to help by doing this for me, happy to make small contribution to time and effort of course as I just want this table to work!! I'm in the Sydney area.
Or if there isn't, does anyone know if anyone can talk me through it step by step? Again, happy to make small contribution for time and effort once done.
I'm pretty much at the end of my tether with this tablet, but reading some of the posts here, it seems it's worth persevering with.

Cheers

The US site no longer is hosting the unlock tool. It doesn't even list the TF700T.
I found it and downloaded from Asus Russian page https://www.asus.com/ru/support/Download/28/1/0/11/8/
(you can use Google Chrome to translate the page if you want)

Click on Utilities then look for
Описание Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader(Only works with TF700T ICS OS)
The download button looks like a floppy disc

It worked for me on Android version 4.2.1
Build 10.6.1.14.10

Trying to unlock bootloader on a TF700T that someone pulled out of the closet. The links for the unlock tool are now dead. Does anyone have a copy of the unlock app they can host/share?

Thanks.
