[TOOL] Unlock bootloader in ASUS ZenPad 3S 10 Z500M (P027)

[diplomatic]

@Advanced Android User, that's cool, if that's what you want to do. The official unlock app uses a different method to unlock than this tool. It doesn't have an option to lock, because they don't want you to do that. But even that is reversible. The lock state is just a software state on the emmc.

Hey guys. I've manage to boot with a temporary root, however I can't seem to figure out how to extract this tool to the /data/local/tmp folder. When I download it and hit extract, all it seems to do is let me input a file name (with no special characters such as "/"). Rookie question, but am I doing something wrong?

 

[diplomatic]

@josiahlakoduk, you can extract the zip on your PC and push all the files by adb, i.e. unzip to a new folder unlock_tool, then push with
adb push unlock_tool /data/local/tmp/

Then on the tablet side, open adb shell & do
cd /data/local/tmp/unlock_tool

What would we need to test this method on OPPO devices?

So, I asked a few months ago and hoping for some new news..
Since successful TWRP / Root on P027 model,

*ANY custom Roms available at all?
If not updated Android..

At least a reworked, cleaned up, reworked Android 7.0 ?



This thing is so lagy..

Stopped buying Asus computer related aince this bad support experience..

i cant get this to boot in to any boot.img. i have used twrp and i have also made a boot.img and all i ever get is FAILED ( remote: oem unlock is false)
anyone can help me?

 

[diplomatic]

@jjdw1970, is your tablet updated to Android 7? That is the only OS version compatible with this method.

 

[Deleted member 6129495]

yes

@jjdw1970, is your tablet updated to Android 7? That is the only OS version compatible with this method.

ys its updated but now i can get to the where i can run the scpit but when it runs after i type "yes, I want to unlock" it started then i get an Oops something wentr wrong and cant figure out what

 

[diplomatic]

@jjdw1970, have you copied all the contents of the zip to your /data/local/tmp folder, including the tool_bin_arc file? What is the log line before "Something went wrong"? That's what's important.

got it to root and everything but now when it reboots i just get en error saying google has stooped and when i try to open the play store say error. and now i cant flash the stock rom over it to see if i can fix it.. i even installed TWRP in recovery to see if i could even side load the rom from asus but i cant even do that. anyone that can give me a step by step to re-flash the stock rom. and no i never used a custom rom

Stuck on boot screen

Hi guys, messing with 3s 10 second night with no luck. Tried to root device, but at the moment of temporary root I missed to grant access for adb shell/SU
to make root permanent, thats where it all started...
Later it wont start on its own only with temp root flash (patched.img through magisk), but I went further and messed it even more by factory reseting device. So bootloader is locked, Recovery mode gives me warning android with triangle, under fastboot mode, abd wont recognize the device. Is there anything could be done to recover it?
I used SP flashtool package and stock firmware content which had flashall command. Thats the only thing somewhat worked, but in the end gave me a message "Bootloader is locked, cant flash system.img" . On the positive note, after running Flashall command, device gets charged, before that, it wont even charge, just grey battery icon. Any advice is so appreciated.

 

[joshtb86]

sorry if this is a stupid question. followed method 1 exactly using the temp rooted boot img, used the tool, it said successful.

i keep adb reboot bootloader to then flash the boot img to the boot partition and it tells me that the bootloader is locked

i went to try to re-do the bootloader unlock and it tells me that my bootloader is already unlocked

i have no idea what to do here - can anyone help? thanks a lot

Hi! Did you manage to solve your problem? I am experiencing the same thing with my z500m.
Would you mind to share the solution?

i did actually, i had a backup in my TWRP Recovery thing with my stock firmware. I just booted it up and it took me straight to bootloader dead bot screen. I waited a few seconds and clicked some buttons and the stock recovery was there

Im late to the party, when I fastboot to my device through adb I cant do anything. Seams like it loses contact with my device once its into fastboot mode.

 

[striker59]

I contacted Asus and asked them to help unlocking bootloader, told them it's out of warranty and since no more updates I wanted the bootloader unlocked. They said they couldn't help me, I told them when a phone is paid for the phone company can unlock why can't Asus? It's like banging my head against the wall. I'm wondering why I can't get my Windows 10 to recognize the tablet in fastboot mode? One video I watched said C++ had to be installed, did that. Found Asus drivers and installed them, still not recognizing once I get past ADB.

 

[striker59]

Progress finally got fastboot working, using method 2 I got twrp working. Can't figure out the commands to use to get the unlock tool to work. I extracted the files to data/local/temp can't figure out how to get there?
