Update from Asus

The service team reply misunderstood the situation. Unlock tool is unavailable at this moment but we are allowing the possibility to unlock, please stay tuned.

**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  • ASUS has apparently withdrawn the ability to unlock the bootloader on its phones.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 won’t be able to root their phones.

Lol this is the technology page and you're going to try to make the argument to not root(/jailbreak) a phone?.. Genuinely lold

Yes...? You can have custom roms without sacrificing security. There's genuinely no reason to root anymore.

Can't tell if troll or not

Can you use English words to explain why you think this is wrong, or are you just wasting internet bandwidth
