Once unlocked, can't relock & get OTA?

zabih107 · Jan 31, 2014 at 4:48 AM

Hello,

So I just want to clear something out. So once I have used a the Asus app and unlocked my tab, I CANNOT relock it again? Also once unlocked, I can no longer receive OTA from Asus and therefore have to download it manually?

I just need clarification on these two questions. Thank you.

Yep, it's a one-way process.

But we can still download the official update from Asus and flash as long as we are on stock recovery, correct? And if i'm not mistaken, we can always revert back to stock recovery. Just can't go back to a locked bootloader.

Damn if I knew this I wouldn't have... oh well. Thanks for the answers!

Another problem: I up had installed cwm recovery and cromi Rom from here. I wanted to revert back to stock firmware, so I downloaded the zip from asus site and put in root directory, however when I flash the zip with CWM it always gives me status 6 error. I searched this and I tried a possible solution using notepad++ but didn't work. Can anyone help me why I can't install stock firmware without getting the status 6 error?

You can't flash the stock firmware from cwm. You need to fastboot flash the stock recovery from droid basement and then extract the stock zip onto your internal card and boot that way. Alternatively you could just flash my stock ROM in the Dev section.

Why do you want to go back to pure stock?

Wow lol I spend hours trying to flash through CWM. thank u very much sdbags. I wanted to revert back because, lol my WiFi was acting wiered with the ROM. some apps like "showbox" worked fine with stock, but with cromi it would go very slow and take really long to load a list of movies or shows. I Donni maybe wifi drivers are not same on cromi? Anyway, thanks for the stock installation solution.

You can't use fastboot to lock the bootloader?

Nope! Not on the transformers. It's a one way street.

K I flashed the stock recovery from droid basement. I pasted the stock firmware zip file which I download from asus site into the root directory. I reboot tab into boot loader and enter the RCK but I see an android guy updating for 1 sec then falls on back with an exclamation mark on him. What am i doing wrong now?

The reason I think why it not flashing because ur cromi Rom is 4.3 and the stock firmware is also 4.3 so I guess tablet thinks it's not new so it does t flash it.

Why don't you just flash my Asus Stock ROM first? It's 99.9% the Asus files - just with ROOT added.

I haven't tested the following but if you MUST flash the Asus Stock from a PC you would do it using the following. I won't take any responsibility if you brick and you do this at your own risk. Personally if I were you I wouldn't do it this way as flashing my Asus Stock will do EXACTLY the same. Note that the below instructions are for 4.2.2. Be warned - it will erase the bootloader so if it doesn't flash properly you will brick permanently.
