Cannot unlock - Asus Zenfone Max Questions & Answers

I recently bought a Zenfone Max m1 (ZB556kl)
I am using it for around a month and came with an error of camera. I jumped to xda looking for a solution for zb556kl Google camera but ended up with nothing, as Max pro m1 and Max m1 were launched at the same time so people considered for Max pro m1 and developed it but Max m1 stood behind. I considered some forums for Max m1 in the threads and all of them said to unlock the phone through Asus unlock tool .
I downloaded the tool and tried to unlock but nothing happened (not even a reboot) .
It gave me an error of
Unknown error occurred ,which may be a network connection issue
I was using a fast internet of my router even tried though my mobile data. I also changed country by using proxied and VPN but no solution .
Some people said that your device is not registered but my device is registered even on Asus device tracker .
I just want to unlock my phone install twrp and root it .
As it is a treble supported device so I also want to install custom system images on it

ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL (Z00UDB) Boot Unlock Issue

I bought ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL (ASUS_Z00UDB). I found my phone software was WW version but strange thing is the backpack of phone box was written it has installed CN version. However that time my phone was installed WW-1.13-user I guess. There was no OTA update options, so i never get any update notification.
After 1 days I saw ASUS release Android 6 for ASUS Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL. So i downloaded in try to installed it many was, after that my phone go into bootloop. Its been 15 days I still in stuck in same. Already tried most of methods to fix but no success. After that i tried to contact Regional customer support, when I asked about that issue, they asking for half of phone charge, also they can't ensure if it fix or not. If fix they asked that that amount if not then half of amount. So i back to home and searched again, I understand that my phone bootloder still locked. So i think for this reason all of my try going fail. Since ASUS has requirement to unlock bootloder is must be version 1.15 installed, this case my phone was 1.13. Also now I'm in stuck.
So Question is, is there anyway to unlock bootloader as I'm in stuck into bootlop?
I know I could ask this msg to ASUS support, since as they are so bushiness minded they wont reply my question.
Badly need help this case.
Thanks in Advance
Thanks God, I just fix it using 1.12 CN version, which file was not from official support. Now main problem is, How can I move to CN > WW. I need 1.15 WW version. Is there any way to move on WW?

So please tell me what happened with you and if thede is any solution ...
Greeting .
Hi everybody
My Zenfone Selfie after a normal update (never modified) is in bootloop.
So I installed adb and fastboot and I flashed the twrp.
Then I tried in every way to flash a rom. I've tried both with official firmware and with various versions of cyanogenmod. Through fastboot and via adb sideload.
Even if seems to work, when I reboot I get the bootloop problem again.
As far as I can understand the problem it’s that I have the bootloader still locked. The official apk solution I guees it’s not applicable in my case. By fastboot oem unlock i get an error message (probably why i can not enable usb debug).
Do you know of other ways to unlock the bootloader or in general to flick my phone?
Thanks to everyone for the help

Steps
1- Original download asus recovery zenfone 2 ze500cl (not asus 2E) (the link of the recovery is not mine)

[XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 3 PRO] Guide to Unlocking,common MiFlash and MIUnlock solutions.

Hello folks, this is my first ever post on XDA forums and I want to share how i bricked my Kenzo and the errors that i came across before unofficially unlocking my device. And also the solutions .
So firstly, some info
1. Kenzo doesnt have a recovery from the start.
2. As I read, Kenzo requires you to be on developer version of rom for unlocking bootloader the official way.
3. Xiaomi Servers are really bad, so say you want to unlock your device and you got your permission granted then its not clear when xiaomi will update that into their servers. I kept getting the 86012 error which as per forums is due to Xiaomi not updating the device info in their servers.
4. The unofficial way is much faster and imo better as it doesnt require you to wait like 10 days or so to get your permission granted with the only demerit that it would go away the moment you install a new MIUI rom. But you can reunlock it using the same method so no worries.
Oh and btw, do the disable driver signature enforcement for your windows before doing anything . https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/ho...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/
Also, make sure your battery is >80% . Ik its quite common to do this but in my case my battery was 50% and after flashing multiple times it was 0% and i got the red led so i thought i was booting into edl mode but after putting it to charge i realized that it was the low battery indication .
Now , guides and fixes.
1. So to unlock the device officially you need to headover to the site mentioned in your miui, and to get to that firstly enable developer options then go to developer options>mi unlock state and in the bottom is the link and follow the steps. I suggest waiting 24 hrs after getting the permission granted (which usually takes 5 mins) and then trying to add acc using the button in mi unlock state.
2. If you get the 86012 error, you are in the same boat as most of the people so the only way to officially unlock the device now is to wait 2-30 days.
3. If you get the couldnt connect to network error, download the developer version of your rom and follow instructions to install it. And then try.
4. Now, if you got your permission granted and the add acc thing worked then Congrats . Now if you download the Miunlock app and get the "Account doesnt exist" or "Network Error" error then switch the internet connection, in my case ,if i used vodafone mobile data hotspot then i got the error but with airtel no error. And after getting this Miunlock completed successfully your bootloader is unlocked.
5. Now the unofficial way, simple thing . Follow this https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-3/how-to/guide-rn3-pro-se-t3565172 .
6. There are 2 types of edl mode on kenzo, first is when you get 900E in device manager, second is when you get 9008 in device manager on your pc. For any flash to work, you need to get 9008 .
7. Now most likely you might run into "Object instance " error or something like that or even "max buffer size 250k" using Miflash app to install a fastboot rom on kenzo. The fix is to firstly install the 2014 version of miflash app and then after running it on your pc and finding your device using it install latest version and run that. The preferred location to install the app is in C:\ instead of C:\Program Files. Also I used the 2016 version downloaded from a website rather than the latest official one .
8. Your device may get bricked and might only boot to edl mode and the 900E mode at that. To get into 9008 mode, either use edl cable or do the test point method .
9. For custom roms you dont need a modified boot.img which I was unable to retrieve for myself anyway. You can create them too.
Thats all i can gather for now, I will add more issues if i discover more and I hope that I get help from the mods and admins on the forums regarding putting reserved messages and all so that everyone who has a fix and reports here can benefit everyone else
I didnt include much links cause there are quite a few of these guides and I only wanted this to be a support thread and not a full guide .

Zenfoners.. Unlock method APK or Flash? I could really use your help..

Hello ALL,
I have a utterly abandon asus tablet known as the TX201LA (AKA the TX201LAF). It is the tablet verson of the Zenfone A450CG/A500CG, also similar to the Asus memopad me302c (the Trio is so much like the memopad that it can be flashed with memopad firmware but loses wifi, camera & doc support). These devices all share the same soc and many of the same exact components and device HALS. Roms could be ported relatively easily between these devices with minor changes for hardware.
The reason I am posted here is: Unlock_Tool_A400_v8.1.apk
My device being completely abandon by asus has no unlock tool. So I am on a noble quest to find an unlock tool made by asus that can run on my bootloader to unlock it. The I have tried other unlock tools from the v7 range and none have worked, however the v8.1 actually installs & runs on my device but comes up with the message "device model is not supported". So the unlocked is working against a list of devices burried to the apk which allows unlocking. I researched the tool and it is built for android 4.4 and I'm on 4.2. That variation should not mean much so its all down to the droidboot model & device list. I am on Droidboot 2.0. As much as I can tell the Droidboot 2.0 can be unlocked as it is what is matched to the A450CG model droidboot.
Can someone help me mod this unlock apk so I can unlock my tablet and install CWM built for the zenfone 4/5? PLEASE
If you can't help mod the apk, and you own a zenfone 4/5 A450CG/A500CG can you tell me which version of droidboot is your phone on now? and what version was on it before? Was it 2.0 around the time you have android 4.1-4.4?
I apprciate any input.

Unlocking via hacking/modifying the APK is highly unlikely, I've already researched this route for use on my V500KL
the APK sends a SSL packet (which SSL is not possible to crack) to the Asus servers (mdm.asus.com or mdm1.asus.com/)
this packet contains information about its phone, such as guid and serial number i believe.
I suspect asus has a device list on their end, even if you tricked the APK into sending the packet it would probably get a failure on their end. And the key token to unlock your device is probably hashed with a private key on their end before being sent back to the APK via another SSL connection.
(fun fact, the token, if its the same on all asus devices, is stored in the abootu partition when received, otherwise its mostly an empty part.)
It would be more likely to do a low-level firmware exploit to backdoor into an unlocked boot-loader that doesn't have full capability to fully verify its higher bootloader
(if an exploit exists for that there is, wip on that, for my device V500KL at least.)
sorry for the bad news

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The possibilities are there but I think "the thief" won't waste time unlocking your account ... it's much easier to format or reinstall a fastboot rom or with the mi tool And then create a new account ... or use a tool like miracle and unlock and format it.I'm sorry for you to lose a phone is never nice (I only destroyed them but never lost) but I can understand your discomfort.
Unlock the phone it's easy, so it's that, your data probably will get wiped. also, change your google password, at the very least.
