"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."

All that's left is to post onto Mastodon and move on from Twitter.
...I already post on Mastodon though 😅

I'm also on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@Mishaal_Rahman
Do you want to post on bluesky too? Hah. Have invites to spare, DM if interested
I'm already on Bluesky, but I stopped posting there because it seemed dead in comparison to Mastodon and Threads.
Let's hope it's not like Nokia situation. Promise BL unlock and only the Nokia 8 get it officially
Doesn't exactly reflect well on Asus' customer service but good to get confirmation at least (especially as someone who just bought a ZF10!)
Hopefully they keep to their word. Could be another Nokia or Huawei situation here. I'm still upset about the Huawei one, just after I unlocked my phone it was stolen, and by the time I got a replacement the unlock service was taken down.
UHHH... it does. There are at least 3 in active development, plus official TWRP which is being constantly updated and one or two kernels including Kirisakura.
For real? That's very good news, last time I checked on XDA there were none. What I would absolutely love is an official Lineage port, but those usually take a lot of time
Hell yeah! I imagine they'll keep coming, soon as bootloader unlocking is available again. I believe the chap who maintains LOS on the Zenfone 8 also owns a ZF9, so you may be in luck... Omni is rock solid though, usually better than LOS!
true, but Mishaal is reliable I'd say. I can always get a motorola though. Otherwise, welp, I'd get an iPhone because I regret my Xiaomi
I'm thinking more in the sense of ASUS following through with commitment rather than doubting Mishaal :).
Yeah, this is the right approach. It's true that ASUS dropped the ball when it comes to getting their bootloader unlock tool server back online as well as in keeping users updated on their progress. It's also true that you should never really take what support staff says at face value, and that a response from a PR rep is always preferable over support staff.
However, there are times when even the PR reps aren't aware of an internal policy change, or they aren't allowed to communicate as such yet. I don't think that's the case here, though. The PR rep I'm in touch with is the same one who has been running the Zenfone developer program for years, so I trust them!
Hey bro, I cant open your website because of all the trackers embedded in it. can you please talk to your team and get some trackers removed ?
