The bootloader can't be unlock at the moment. Asus is known for giving the tools to unlock the bootloader. So its matter of time to have the tools to unlock it.

Asus just released the unlock tool for the ZenFone 3 so the tool for the Deluxe can't be far off. Maybe this tool will work for the Deluxe??

Source Code is on Asus website I don't get why it's not available yet?

Hey there I posted this under "rooted":
Hey, just went onto ASUS global & US website and saw that there is an unlock bootloader utility for the ZS550KL (updated 11-Nov-2016) but not one for the ZS570KL. Does this matter, since both phones are "Deluxe"? If not, any assistance to unlock bootloader and root the ZS570KL. Thanks!
Any help or feedback, greatly appreciated.

Fairly new to rooting phones and this question is due to my inexperience, but if the phones are both considered "Zenfone 3 Deluxe" what does the size have to do with it? Thanks for explaining.

well according to the this link here ... https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (This is for 5.7 and there is no show of bootloader)
however this link here https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (shows a bootloader unlock for the 5.5 version)
We need developers to jump on this darn phone and get it going somehow, if there is anyway possible to get their attention on it. I was able to tweak my phone a bit more with the startup manger (free) from google play to get more ram space.

5.5 has SD820 cpu, 5.7 has SD821... Would you try and use the other, untried method of unlocking if it may destroy your expensive little toy?

This is untrue. The 5.5 has the SD625, and the 64GB 5.7 has the SD820 and the 256GB 5.7" Special Edition has the SD821.
While it could be possible that a bootloader unlock tool for the SD820 could be used on the SD821 (but maybe not) because the architecture is essentially the same, an unlock tool for the SD625 most certainly would not be as it is a completely different processor.

I know we seen this answer before, but this is what i got from them.... https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120584-1-1.html

I emailed Asus support and got this as a response:
Me: "When can the bootloader unlock utility be expected to be released?"
Them: "Unfortunately ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty. But we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development."
Edit: I prodded them further and received this in response:
"I have transferred your wish to our Product department, but temporary the accurate time the unlock tool for this Zenfone 3 Deluxe model would be released couldn't be ensured."
Which I believe means: 'We can't give an official release time yet.'

There is a "petition" in Asus 's Taiwan forum requesting an official bootloader unlocked tool and the thread is marked "under active review" by representative of Asus. No ETA is given though and the thread is in Chinese. If you are also interested and want to give it a little more push you could leave English message there.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. I did not even consider looking at the specs (chipset) to see if there was a difference between the 2 models. I just thought they were the same phone just size of screen difference and/or less storage. Forgot they also release a 820 model.

At least you can get to the heart of the menu of the recovery, just can't do much there either. Thanks to a lucky source right here.... been trying find out how to do this...
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120913-1-1.html
1.) Turn off phone completely
2.) press power button and volume down at same time and hold it untill you see an android logo with an "!" with the android logo that says "no command". when you see the logo release all buttons.
3.) Now, press and hold power button first and then quickly press volume Up. You will then see the options including wipe cache.

Info about new HTC 10 Please

Hello guys im a big fan of HTC using them from the last 15 years.
I moved yesterday from my belowed M8 to HTC 10 because i get a"Brand New"" Mint condition never used HTC 10 for exactly 200 USD and i saw its a super Offer for this Carbon Black device no single scratch still sealed
I cheked the phone and is writen to beb USA WWE Version Factorory Uncloked etc.
All work perfectly fine i chek it via HTC Diag and few more alternatives the only one thing bother me when im using a program to identify the device in Main bord is writen "QC Reference Phone" What this mean its that a normal?
The phone is 32GB Black Carbon USA unclocked WWE version i update it via the OTA to android 7 exactly the latest Security Patch is from September 2017 and the build of the android, 2.51.617.21 the official one since the phone was never Rooted or Unlocked Bootloader or S-Offed i have to do this this weekend)
so if you can give me more info about this will be perfect
Thank you in advance.

My other question is regarding the Unclocking things, since 10 is new device for me i will unlock the bootloader with HTC devs 1st then will install costum recovery and root it do i have to S-OFF it just to use a Custum ROM? like Viper and some mods all i want is to be able to flash Viper ROM plus Ainur Aidio Mod Sauron plus Infinity Sound mod by Zero thats it..
I know if i S-OFF it will be able to flash diferent RADIOS firmwares etc but in case im with the latest official Nougat firmware why i will need to do that? or do i really need it if i want to be able to flash only the above things i need.
Of course later with the change and OREO firmware update i will S off it anyway but do i need to do it right now what exactly i will be not able to do if im S-ON only the RADIO firmware?
THANK YOU much appriciete

Basicially S-OFF is needed if You want to change MID and/or CID to flash any RUU You want or, as You said, to be able to flash different firmware (older for example).
In matter of flashing custom roms, You don't need S-OFF to do this. If You have latest official Nougat firmware You can flash Viper ROM plus extras You have mentioned
Remeber one thing, before flashing first custom rom it's always nice and handy to perform backup in TWRP.

They gave you a QC reference phone. It's a prototype for development. You need to report that user to ebay and get your money back.

I think the best way would be to contact HTC Support directly and give them all the details about phone

For all the people who wonder there is nothing WRONG with that and is not only ME also the thing about test unit or some kind of protoype is not true as well finally i have a chance to talk directly with HTC Tech support for many things including this QC Reference phone readin of the MotherBoard.
Also they did a nice lookup chek for me and told me the device i got is Perfect USA Factory Unlocked Aka Developers Device in perfect condition. And also that the dive is bought directly from them from the Official HTC site because they had it in the databes there when who and how did he get it.
Lets make it short here is the reason WHY this heppans and not only to me they are already familiar with that wrong reading.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virginia P.: Great, Tsalta. Based on your IMEI number, I was able to check in my system that you have an original HTC Device manufactured in the US and bought through our website.
The message you are having is not an issue, your phone is in perfect state. The database of some applications does not have all the sub-versions of the processor references. The mainboard does not handle like in the computer that has apart ram processor and video. They handle something called SoC (System on a Chip), therefore the processor handles the whole system. But as there are so many versions depending on number of cores, type of video, amount of ram, etc. the application may not recognize the type of processor.
But, I promise you, there's nothing wrong with your phone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thats the answer its something related with the revision version Some programs read it on some devices some cant handle it BUT all the device are THE SAME.

Is there any hope for Pixel XL - G-2PW2100 - Android 8.0 to be Bootloader Unlocked

Hello Gurus,
As the subject says, I made the mistake of a hasty ebay purchase for a black 128GB XL running Android 8.0 Build OPR3.170623.007. I was happy with the thought of making it my primary music machine by enabling the Apt-X HD codec and pairing with in-car Apt-HD receiver for car AUX speakers. Wanted to install ARISE Audio to be able to pump up the sound quality.
Found out that model no. G-2PW2100 is actual the Verizon/Project Fi model which is beyond any salvation attempts now.
However all of it turned out to be a pipe dream, when i started with the basics on rooting, to unlock the boot loader. Found out the OEM boot loader unlocking option in Developer settings is greyed out and it will not accept the ADB commands
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
or
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
anymore.
The command
Code:
adb shell getprop ro.boot.cid
returns
Code:
VZW__001
If it would have been 7.0.x then I could have tried dePixel8 , however that not a possibly anymore.
Having read all over the forum for various posts, can I conclude there is no solution as of now and it is an expensive paper weight for the time being, or is it any ray of hope move forward to.
Thanks for your answers.

Their is no solution as of now sunshine team don't have any plans to attempt an unlock for newer than 7.1

Thanks, you verified my worst fears. So money lost, time to write off this sunk cost from personal accounts.
Would keep a lookout for a workable unit now, till then will try to sell it off.
Thanks.

I mean, it's still a pixel. It'll get updates for awhileeeeeee.

You mean the bootloader for G-2PW2100 - 128GB - 8.0 can be unlocked. Has someone used this service. Do i have to send my mobile or the solution would be provided online.
Would be nice if you can PM with the link to the actual service.
On the other hand, I guess only taobao is the place where I can see Pixel XL 128 with Android version 7.1 sold, as they are not to be found on US/UK ebay.
A couple of queries I need to know to pin point the exact replacement I am looking for:
1. I assume the model should be either G-2PW2100 (either verizon or google) <= ROM 7.1 or a G-2PW2200 (any service provider) with any ROM version till 8.1.
2. Can a G-2PW2100 <= 7.1 once having a bootloader unlocked, be upgraded to 8.0 and above, and keep having the BL unlocked. If once after unlock, it is locked again either on the same ROM version or upgraded to higher ROM version, would it still be possible to unlock it again.
3. Any possible link or direction where an unlocked 128GB XL is available for purchase.
Thanks for your replies.

Well thanks, has anyone tried it to be really working for Verizon Pixel XL. Any success reports.
The website which opens from your URL has a clunky UX, I cannot select and get to know any service details, even with translation. If i select an option with 150Yuan, it takes me back to a webpage where no further journey to go.
Purchasing on Taobao anyways aint possible for me as the whole process and interface is in chinese, and I dont know if they accept international credit card.
Would like to know more information about it.
====================================
Got it, the URL is for the mobile version of the Taobao website, hence strange display on PC. Am trying to search it via PC.
===================================
Ok so what I am able to gather is these services are for XL running 7.1.x , and mine is already updated to 8.0 ,so cant say for sure it will work or not. For 7.1.x we dont need a paid service, it was already doable by DePixel8 if I am not wrong.
Thanks.

Thats my assumption as well, however trying to get in touch with TaoBao seller to see what miracle they offer.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure that even if you downgrade to 7.1, the security patch level would render the dePixel exploit useless. As far as I know, you can't downgrade security patch levels.
Try selling it on Swappa and then buy a Google version off the site.

Please do keep us posted on the TaoBao mission because if it is possible to still do this I am very interested as well... I went on the site to that link and hit the translation on my Chrome browser via laptop and I couldn't make out everything it was informing of but I thought I saw something about it was illegal to ship or prohibited for the goods in my region... I live in the eastern shore of the US... what gives? I am not giving up so easily. I would sell the phone but I am my family's plan and i just pay them cash every month.. so I am sort of stuck with the phone atm myself as well..
Anyways... good luck to all who are still fishing around for an exploit.

Well, i called quits for the TaoBao mission, was a pipe dream anyways. I was able to sell it for a good price. So case closed for making any mistake like this again without reading enough around on the forum about which exact model to buy for my rooting/vipering adventures.
Have another query in mind , will post a new thread for it, while on the hunt for a Google branded set.

ok... Still, the aim is to push it to W10M, so if you manage to get an image with W10M, even without touch, I would be interested in that image instead.
Then, maybe we find a way to get the standard touch back, perhaps with newer W10M updates (eg tricking it as a different device, thus restoring the "normal", non-3Dtouch updated files) or in the worst case, we could perhaps find a workaround with the drivers...

General Color OS on Non-Chinese (LE21X0) variant 9R/9/9Pro

I contacted the staff of OnePlus to inquire about this question. They said that the degraded conversion package is only for CN variant. They don't think it's a problem and won't solve it.
So I'm trying to port it into the non Chinese variant of the device, because I don't have enough money to buy the EU variant OnePlus 9 (I need it to study the difference between the Non-CN variant and the Chinese variant, because the European variant is cheaper, so I plan to buy this variant), the research progress will be very slow.
At present, I have designed three plans:
1. Make changes to the firmware on the device to fit the degraded package.
2. Using the MsmDownloadTool of ColorOS to flash. (I'm responsible for remote operation, so it can't be used as a long-term solution)
3. Extract the ColorOS firmware out of the raw image to flash. (may die in partition problems, and should not apply to 9R)
4. (This plan has been abandoned, because the signature can not be forged, and it is too troublesome to adapt to each different model) Make changes to the degraded package to adapt to the hardware of different regions.
Due to the above reasons, I can't test and implement plan 1 and 3. I have found a brave 9 Pro India user to test plan 2 and wait for the good news.
I'm going to launch crowdfunding in the near future. If you have extra funds and want to try ColorOS, please support me.
If you want to provide the device for testing (it doesn't necessarily succeed and the device will not be returned regardless of the results), you can also contact me.
If you want to apply for the remote test scheme, I will be happy to accept it. However, please note that no matter what the result is, I am not responsible for any impact of the remote test on your device, and the device may lose its warranty; Since I am still a high school student, I will only provide remote testing service in my spare time (China, GMT+8, Asia/Shanghai).

Just let me know when it's time to post such results, and I'm going to reinstate them - or you get even more.

I have browsed and visited community forums in China because they are used to publishing articles like this. What's more interesting is that some of the respondents responded casually with a few words. They are called water stickers, there are thousands of water stickers in a thread

What specifically was the problem? And like lsd3k asked, can you provide a link to msm?

Isn't it possible to use OxygenOS to ColorOS downgrade zip?

I put the package in the update channel. It seems to apply only to LE2120 CN variant. That's why I need a EU 9 to study the differences

It's not msm tool for unbrick. It's just downgrade package.

On your telegram channel you only have the downgrade package. In your OP you suggest you have the MsmDownloadTool for ColorOS. Would you be able to publish that?
