Extract it and there should be an APK inside that you need to install to your device.
So to continue my saga, after I bricked it, paid for a new motherboard, the V7 unlock tool would not work giving the unknow error has occurred..may be network communications issue....... Called up ASUS, bitched at them for an hour, they issued an RMA to do the "fix", came back wiped clean, and neither the V7, or new V8 work, get the same error. First time they told me my serial number showed that the unit was unlocked, even though it was not with a brand new mother board......

I hate this company.........

did you try to get your new serial number by fastboot?
in other threads they say that fastboot now (on 4.2) works even on locked tablets, tho most commands arent working.
with "fastboot -i 0x0b05 getvar all" there should be a "serial no." field

Did not know I could do anything if it is not unlocked

its a new feature in 4.2, if you boot to the boot menu (the one to get into recovery) you'll have fastboot enabled even while locked but you cant use it to flash a new recovery or system tho.
to just read infos it should work.

How much did they charge you? I can't flash with fastboot because the bootloader freezes and now I have to send it in. They quoted me $80 but I think they charge you like $200!
