Unable to unlock Bootloader on Zenfone 9 and Zenfone 10

[totmakina]

 Because the bootloader could not be unlocked on Zenfone 9, I decided to write to Asus Support to be told when it would be possible to unlock the bootloader on Z9 and Z10. The response I received was that it would no longer be possible to unlock the boot on any of these phones. Upon receiving this news I decided not to buy the Z10. I think it is a big mistake that Asus has decided that the boot cannot be unlocked. I don't know if they will change their mind, but there will be many of us who decide NOT to buy it.

Yes quite likely

personally i believe it's much more complex than just overhaul of an app, this whole unlock tool needs to collect Dat from your phone send it to db there and provide unlock keys, either they have messed up their db and doesn't have the data they need to provide or just changing the whole process of unlocking which then i could imagine that they need to have it offline completely. But to not have the unlock tool could just make the phone be jailbreakable... let's hope that some nice skilled hacker could get in it unofficial way 😉

According to my information from ASUS...It looks like ASUS are undergoing a significant redesign of their unlocking tool and the competing of the development in the 3rd quarter of 2023 or maybe on Sep or October. We have to wait.

The problem with "According to information from Asus" is that it is not Asus themselves directly announcing it. 

If they make the announcement themselves then there is at least something to hold them accountable to. Right now there is just rumours basically.

Really wish Asus would step up and announce it themselves so we can be sure.
