- ASUS’s bootloader unlock tool has been unavailable for many months now.
- The company previously denied reports that its phone could no longer be bootloader unlocked, assuring users that the policy had not changed.
- However, the situation has not changed, and for phones like the Zenfone 10, users have not been able to unlock their bootloader at all.
ASUS makes some great flagship phones. It’s one of the few smartphone companies that doesn’t hesitate to walk off the beaten path and experiment with their phones. The ASUS Zenfone 10 is praised for being an excellent compact flagship, while the ROG Phone series gets us the best performance on Android alongside some innovative gaming features. But for everything the company gets right on its phones, ASUS has left enthusiasts hanging out this year as the company has still not provided bootloader unlock capabilities for the Zenfone 10.
ASUS users have been unable to unlock the bootloader of their phones for a while now, since close to May 2023. In August, conversations with technical support staff revealed that ASUS had killed the ability to bootloader unlock and consequently root its phone lineup, namely the Zenfone and ROG Phone series.
