[Petition][UPDATED]Unlock the bootloader for the Asus TF300, Unlock is Here!

http://www.change.org/petitions/asu...oader-for-the-tf300-tablet-and-future-tablets
Please share this with everyone in the android community.
Update!!! The unlock tool is available on the Asus site. I'll post a copy later. Thanks to maspro for pointing it out. See his thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667596.

Come on people. We need to send a message to Asus. This is how the TF201 got unlocked. We need more signatures!

There's a minor error on the petition's last paragraph:
"We assure you that fostering a vibrant development community around the Prime will promote sales and establish ASUS' reputation in the community as an excellent and receptive supplier of mobile devices"
It should say TF300 not Prime

I did it and everyone should. Asus seems to be the type of company that listens to their customers as they did with the prime.

How many signatures were there for the Prime? Anyone remember this? I do remember that there was a lot to do about this back then.
But since Asus has taken the descision once for the prime, it should be much easier to copy/paste for the 300 as they already descided what and how.

I was the 50th.
Curiosity sake, we're already able to achieve root without an unlocked bootloader. Would a locked bootloader really prevent us from custom Roms like CM9?

I signed it yesterday. I really need the unlocked bootloader, otherwise I will have to buy the super-expensive Prime!

Relax... I'm sure they didn't get unlocked Bootloader on the prime 2 weeks after release.

Maybe you could try posting the link on the Prime's forums, since now we are ASUS brothers and we should always help family

Unlocked. I'm too much of a ROM junkie to do otherwise.

Unlocked to get root back after jb update. Also like a couple mods I put on but still using stock ROM.

Voted for Future, probably after Christmas. I really miss being rooted, so unless a new exploit is found I'll hop in the Unlocked camp sooner.

Unlocked. Found latest JB update laggy and I hated the slow down when downloading from Play store. Installed custom ROM and now happier.

I hear you. I held that apk for a month before using it. All I wanted was root and a couple mods. Otherwise I kept stock ROM. I finally decided to just leap. Glad I did.

Unlocked it the same day I brought it home from Office Depot. Flashed TWRP and ParanoidAndroid.
The graphics are amazing. I'm 1 happy camper!

Just got done unlocking and rooting. I do that with all my androids.

good evening
Right after the result of the vote
I decided to go a second time to unlocking the tablet after a return to sav asus.
But when I run the utility, it tells me a network error
My serial number starts with C80KCT
So Asus has locked the root, after a service Asus

Yep

yep. Mine was a refurb'd unit with only a 90 day warranty anyway.

How does the RMA process work?

I bought a slightly used Nexus 4 from a guy I bumped into yesterday morning. This afternoon, I wanted to flash a factory image (occam) but no matter what I do, my computer won't recognize my phone. This computer can see my Nexus 7 without a problem, but no go with the phone. The phone just charges.
I have uninstalled the adb devices, samsung and lg devices as well, all purged from the computer but nothing when I connect the N4.
Am I eligible to call in for an rma?
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium

Call Google and see what they say. They will ask for the IMEI of the phone and the email address used when that phone was ordered. So you may need to bump into whoever sold you the phone again.

Oh yeah, and they send the RMA info to the email address used when the phone was ordered. So you'll probably need access to that.

Thanks for your reply. So, does this mean google will send replacement unit to the original purchasaser?

I had a problem that was very similar. (Daughter board failure) and the guy that sold me the phone stopped answering and refused to communicate.
I ended up having to send the phone to LG for repair. It was covered by the manufacturer warranty, but I had to be without a nexus for 2 weeks. (LG refuses to send a phone pre emptively like Google.
That's one reason to avoid the gray market and stick to ordering from Google directly.
Your only hope is if the original owner bought it from Google and transfers the info over to you.

You can get the warranty transferred from the original guy to you. My buddy had to do this, he bought a used one and it went bad. Just contact the guy and call the Google play store and tell them you want the warranty transferred. 3 days later you will get a new N4, then of course ship the old one back.

The seller is not responding to my text or call. So, my option is to send it in to LG for service repair. I have initiated a service request (ship it in) and have to wait for return authorization.
Will they refuse service if your Nexus 4 is unlocked?

Ok,lets try again. My Nexus 4 is bootloader unlocked. With a broken usb port, I don't have a way to relock it. No, it has supersu but no root binaries.
Is my n4 still returnable under LG service repair or will they throw a cow?

I don't know if lg will care about the bootloader or not, but there's an app in the play store that will relock it, iirc.
Sent from my iPad 4

So, just received an email message from LG, states that in-warranty service must be go through the same place where you bought it. Only out of warranty service can be performed by LG.
How do you get LG to provide service on your nexus 4?
Sent from my GT-N7005 using xda premium

I think the out of warranty work they are referring to would be something like a cracked screen, which isn't covered under the standard warranty.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

so, a borked usb port on the phone is covered under warranty service but a cracked screen isn't??? makes no sense to me, but whatever. I'm just going to sell it on ebay. so sick of this non-sense.

LG sux. Eggs. One more reason to stay away from LG products. Never had problems with Samsung, ever. I had to get a Galaxy Nexus sent in to Samsung for warranty repair, actually it had a bad usb port, just like the N4, Samsung repaired it under warranty. Didn;t give me any problem. LG sux. Eggs. Another mental note--stay away from LG products.

One with the dock, but it probably has to be RMA'd. Unrecoverable bootloader error. Not a message that you want to see in Fastboot mode.

How much costs the RMA for "Unrecoverable bootloader error"? Is it really the $ 202 for the whole mainboard?
Somewhere in a polish forum I've read that a user got it the RMA for around $ 20.. but maybe his was just softbriked?!
Well, Asus should have to possibility to delete easily all partitions and reflash fastboot via apx, don't they?

They're not very smart, the devs here could design a better bootloader for the tf300 than Asus

I bought mine with the keyboard dock, as a refurbished model from woot last november. Haven't had any issues with it at all

Best buy was a lot more helpful than Asus... they let me exchange it 3 times without losing or using my replacement plan.

I'm on my third tablet. My first had a dead pixel but was otherwise perfect. Walmart exchanged it with no hassles. The second started out perfect, but within a couple weeks, the touch input gave out. I would get ghost presses by lightly squeezing the left edge of the tablet (no more force than was required to hold the tablet with one hand; that was how I first noticed the ghost touches), then I would get random ghost touches regardless, and within a couple days, it didn't respond to touch input at all. That one also got returned without hassles.
This third tablet has been great minus the I/O issues. If the I/O could be fixed, my tablet would be perfect.

My first TF300 hand issues with the touch screen and went back to best buy for an exchange. Before that I had an TF101 whet through had to exchange my first two TF101 and the third one screen went out after about a year, so I upgraded to the TF300.
I I/O issues with just about all Asus tablets and the fact that I'vd had to exchange every Asus tablet at lest one leads me to think this will be my last Asus tablet. Even though I love Asus tablet and dock combo but, I'll probably be going with a Samsung next time.

The TF300 I have is from that same sale last year. IO seems to be better with a custom ROM. Only real issue mine has is that the micro SD slot broke last week and the card will not stay inserted. Not a big deal for me though.

Not really sure. I was using the tablet to listen to music and browse the web before bed and when I was putting it up I noticed the card was sticking out and I couldn't click it back in.

I am pretty sure they will charge you for the repair considering it was not a factory defect but they may repair it for a discounted price if its under warranty. Not sure but it couldn't hurt to contact Asus and ask.
