Unlocking and rooting

[lpdunwell]

I had the exact same error last night when trying to unlock the first time. I must have tried about 4-5 times every time with the same message.
After an hour or 2 i tried again and then it worked immediately. Might have been lucky that the servers were working at that time and maybe had nothing to do with the battery...
Don't know if it can help, but the first time i tried it must have been around 8pm GMT, second time it was 10pm GMT.

Asus had some issues with the servers during the last 48 or so hours.
And ripping the actual unlocker app apart (oops, sorry asus) told me it connects to https://mdm.asus.com/ .
This made me laugh, as when you open that page, you'll see

It works !

If you're seeing this page via a web browser, it means you've setup Tomcat successfully. Congratulations!

I'm not sure what to think of that...

confirmed, worked for me. I had problems understand that I have to have android SDK and path to the platform-tools installed :good:

Do you use one time passwords/two step auth or anything like this for your google account? this will mess things up for sure.

No I don't just normal password nothing special

Yeah I been trying since last week and still won't unlock mine.

yeah I ripped mine open also looking for the check server lines to quote them out so it can by pass that and just start unlocking my bootloader.

Weird... well as unlocking will wipe it anyway, save all your data, and try with a factory reset (vol- and power). Maybe that helps... i assume you do have a serial number? There was some trouble with previous transformers. Also, have you tried a different wifi?

Yeah done factory reset and all, different wifi and since I have a 2nd tablet still says same thing. Not sure if anyone in the US version has unlocked their boot loader, so far all I see is international one so far.

So decided to break down the APK and see whats going on and here is the section in which it tries to communicate to Asus.

.method public constructor <init>(Landroid/content/ContextV
.locals 2

const/16 v0, 0x2710

invoke-direct {p0}, Ljava/lang/Object;-><init>()V

return-void
.end method

Maybe we can alter it to trick it into just unlocking the boot loader without Asus's OK.

Well got reply back from Asus and they claimed nothing was wrong. Well last night before I went to bed it didn't work. Wake up this morning and it works. So need to check with TW cause even my 2nd tablet doesn't unlock yet.

Mine hasn't worked since day one either...tried MANY times. Did factory reset, etc, nothing. Today, I tried and BOOM! and it worked. I guess it was something with Asus' servers. I even opened a thread about this several days ago since I was having trouble: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513948&page=2

Really doubt it. I think Asus relies on an encrypted key that only comes from their server.
