TL;DR
- ASUS has apparently withdrawn the ability to unlock the bootloader on its phones.
- As per the company’s technical support team, Zenfone 10 and Zenfone 9 users
Well, there goes our hope for the Zenfone 10.

Huh, ok. Well then, fuck you Asus.
That sucks. I was considering one of their devices instead of a Google Pixel, mainly due to the form factor. I guess not anymore.
I had no idea they even made phones.
I’ve loved their ROG Phones. I had their ROG 2, and now their ROG 6. Complete overkill for most people, but I’m definitely an Android “Power User”.
Their Zenfones have also gotten a good reputation as decent mid-range devices that kick some recent trends, like keeping the phones on the smaller side and keeping the headphone jack.
Is it possible to exploit these phones in the future, I remember unlocking the bootloader on my amazon fire tablet using an exploit.
I was hoping they would anounce one day that they up their support window bc two years of updates is kind of ridiculous for a 800€ phone. This is of course another way to boost their sales smh.
fucking hell
I was about to buy a Zenfone 9 because it was the perfect device for me
Asus no more, I guess
Fuck Asus then
Again, for a company as big as Asus/Pegatron, major decisions like this travel slowly and chaotically down the pipeline. We’ll have to wait for the Zenfone 10 release to say for sure.
