That'll be great, though I'm preparation I've already downloaded the firmware and made a magisk patched boot img ready to root!So we just need TWRP asap
Unlock
After starting the unlock toll I get this screen:
I have set up a 4digit PIN.
Can I unlock, or what does it mean, I have no PIN password?
Big thanks

PM sent.
It's the same TWRP that's being used for ROG Phone 3 but it *should* also work on the ZF7 Series.

Exciting to see such development starting already! Will be keeping an eye out for this
Unlocking bootloader may result in complete deletion of Widevine keys. You may not get it back even if you have raw firmware. Keep this in mind.
Definitely a good point.
Perhaps someone can confirm this happens on the Zenfone?
I should be receiving mine by early next week and happy to report back what happens. I'll be unlocking/rooting regardless
What exactly is the point with widevine keys?Definitely a good point.

Unlock worked fine, just ignored the Warning. TWRP tom
From my understanding, it's mostly for streaming services such as Netflix. Netflix won't work in HD if don't have Widevine L1 certification.
Recently the new version of unlock tool now keep Widevine to L1. According to Zenfone 5z and Zenfone 6 who unlocked the bootloader recently
TWRP is still WIP. The one being used for ROG Phone 3 should work, I just need to include the dtb(o) info for it to boot on the ZF7 series. I'll be working on that over the next several weeks, so if anyone else has the device and would like to help test, let me know.
I don't have the device so I'm completely reliant on feedback from testers.

Great stuff, mine has been dispatched and will be more than happy to test. Will let you know, cheers! :good:
TWRP is ready. I'll be opening the thread shortly. Of course I'm not sure why there's separate forums for the 7 and 7 Pro, but I imagine the same TWRP should work on both. I'll just post the thread in this section for now.
This is so exciting!!
Thank you, will be keen to try it out ASAP.
Also, bring on the custom roms! Do you develop those by any chance?
