Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out how to unlock the bootloader of the ZE500KL, I have a full dump and I think that we can unlock it by modifying the aboot.bin file.
Tryied to decompile it, but not understand the output code at all because it is with addresses. Can someone help me?

Here the zip with decompiled files.

c file contains functions, svg are graphs of the functions that can be opened and viewed with google chrome, and dsm file is low level code I think, there are some interesting strings in it.

Have you tried what the zenfone 2 does? seeing as they are fairly similar phones http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
also here is a way to root it if you have not done that already http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63444749&postcount=108

These phones share naming, but under the hood they are completely different. The ZF2 is using an Intel processor and the Laser is using a SnapDragon 615 ARM processor. It would be better to look at common unlocking methods for similarly spec'd devices. Asus tends to not alter to much from standard design specs released by the SoC manufacturer. This phone is also just now getting released in the U.S so support may take a while to get development picked up. Keep an eye on 23 pin's blog because he does a lot of work with varying models of Asus devices.
