[DJac]

@MrT10001 Thankyou !! It works !
you are right : it works only with ubunutu (Lubuntu for me). that's doesn't works with debian (or windows).

[MrT10001]

@DJac Is it up and running with Ubuntu Touch?

[DJac]

@MrT10001 I can't install ubport on my 32bits ubuntu computer. and it don't work with my debian computer... so, I'm looking for others solution.
I have a probleme to install postmarketOS too.
I keep you in touch.

@djac @mrt10001

I am trying to unlock the bootloader of my Asus device. Can you guys help me? Are there any ways which I can still use in 2026??

[MrT10001]

@MadDino Check here. Download the unlock.rar file (link still works). You don't need to root the device for UT. Follow these instructions and you need a Windows PC:

*DATA WILL BE WIPED SO MAKE A BACKUP

1. Download this zip(you already have) and you'll get 2 folders 'unlock' and drivers
   https://drive.google.com/open?id=1YpezCedaRWGDS9WW7UaXXyyBod0Bk5qp
2. Install the drivers and go the 'unlock' folder
3. Reboot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing volume up + power on at the same time.
4. Connect it to pc and open unlock.bat in 'unlock' folder
5. Done*

@MrT10001 hey..

thanks for this. i tried but it just does not seem to work.

all i get is

Begin fastboot flashall
Earse Data: Yes
Support All device

I do not know what else to do!!

And the bootloader shutdown with this laconic message "press any key to shut down"

[MrT10001]

@MadDino Start the device up and the bootloader should be unlocked.

[MadDino]

@MrT10001 unfortunately not

All my data is still there and I don't see any bootloader unlocked warning or anything

Could it be because of my build number or security patch?

I am using Android 9 with September 2020 security patch
Build number is WW 16.2017

[MrT10001]

@MadDino The build number should not make a difference. Try running it in an administrative command prompt and run the command with ./ In front.

@MrT10001 i see. Does the cable which I am using for the connection make any difference?

If not then maybe I'll try it on win 11 or Linux...
