That'll be great, though I'm preparation I've already downloaded the firmware and made a magisk patched boot img ready to root!

Unlock
After starting the unlock toll I get this screen:
I have set up a 4digit PIN.
Can I unlock, or what does it mean, I have no PIN password?
Big thanks

It's the same TWRP that's being used for ROG Phone 3 but it *should* also work on the ZF7 Series.

Unlocking bootloader may result in complete deletion of Widevine keys. You may not get it back even if you have raw firmware. Keep this in mind.

Definitely a good point.
Perhaps someone can confirm this happens on the Zenfone?
I should be receiving mine by early next week and happy to report back what happens. I'll be unlocking/rooting regardless

From my understanding, it's mostly for streaming services such as Netflix. Netflix won't work in HD if don't have Widevine L1 certification.

TWRP is still WIP. The one being used for ROG Phone 3 should work, I just need to include the dtb(o) info for it to boot on the ZF7 series. I'll be working on that over the next several weeks, so if anyone else has the device and would like to help test, let me know.
I don't have the device so I'm completely reliant on feedback from testers.

TWRP is ready. I'll be opening the thread shortly. Of course I'm not sure why there's separate forums for the 7 and 7 Pro, but I imagine the same TWRP should work on both. I'll just post the thread in this section for now.

Indian Bootloader

Has anyone managed to unlock their bootloader on Global stable rom that your phone shipped with?
I'm specifically asking Indians. And of course I'm asking about Snapdragon variant which ships here.
If it didnt unlock on Global stable, what did you do next?
Also please don't post about the unofficial hack method. I'm well aware about that. I want to know about official method.
I also have the same query, please anyone give a proper answer.

I got that 50%error too
I was at 7.1.8.0 got ota to 7.2.3.0
Then i logged out and factory reset it(optional)
Signed it and synced again and let it be for 3-4 days
Tried it and it went through
Maybe it is due to slow syncing with chinese server

I managed to unlock bootloader on Global 7.2.3.0 ROM.
I faced the 'stuck at 50%' problem too. It didn't work for me on Dev nor Global ROM. The Mi unlock tool said it couldn't verify accounts.
But after waiting for about a week I tried again and it worked!
Apparently Xiaomi's unlock process has some bugs and the accounts fail to verify properly. You have to give it time to sync.
Also in developer settings make sure to enable OEM unlocking. The Dev ROM has this enabled by default so maybe that's why more people had success with it (and maybe why people were reporting that unlocking on Global doesn't work).

I have already unlocked by unofficial method , by your official method boot.img , some good guy will be able to make modified boot.img of your officially unlocked one in which we don't need to delete bootloader file to switch between MIUI ROMS to prevent bootloop and bootloader relock problem again.
So request to you upload it.

Asus Zenfone 3 Deluxe 550KL Bootloader Unlock Tool

It looks like Asus has provided us with the unlock tool for the Zenfone 3 Deluxe. Hopefully someone can make a guide to help users unlock their bootloader. Does anyone think this has a chance of working on the special edition version?
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/
I'm not sure of that would be the same for this....
https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/
EDIT: Yeah i was correct this is only 5.5 for now, just have to wait a bit for 5.7 once they do so. until then if we have any testers for 5.5 they should start it now and get this phone hype up, if it works.
As I've been saying... as soon as they get off their behinds and release a bootloader unlock, I'll buy. Looking at you 256gb special edition! Common Asus!

Best way to do so, is word of mouth and contact there support. Then it will go from there.
We have the deluxe bootloader non special edition unlock tool out in the public for about a month and nobody who posts in XDA has said much about it yet. My fear is interest in this phone isn't so high so we'll never get a guide or solution to unlock the bootloader for the deluxe or special edition.
Has anyone with the deluxe tried using the unlock tool?

yes I flashed it via recovery mode, I haven't attempted the adb loader.
after further inspection to the zip file, DO NOT FLASH IT VIA RECOVERY. install it via the apk within the zip file. this unlocks the bootloader. as of now my zs550kl boot loader is unlocked and i will proceed with trying to get it rooted.

Alright that is very good news, keep us posted, sadly can't do much here for the 5.7 until then. As well post some screenshots as well.
I am a bit of a noob to the root scene. Last device I rooted was a galaxySII. I now have a zs550kl as I am trying to make my way back into the cutting-edge arena. I would like to see a root for this as my career has an imei lock on the data signal and I would like to spoof this with the imei of the varied bought device.
hello man! I am looking all over the web trying to find the bootloader unlock tool you mentioned that works for the 5.7 inch, would you drop a link or post a comment on where to find it? thank you for considering!

Bootloader Unlock Issue

Hey everybody, I had recently purchased a Redmi Note 4 (SD).
I had applied for bootloader unlock permission and was granted it. I also switched to the Dev version of MIUI. I have enabled OEM unlocking, but under MIUI Unlock status section, when I try add account and device, I get an error code 86012 followed by a Chinese error message. Due to this, the Mi Flash application fails at 50%. I have attached a screenshot of the error below
Any help or explanation to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If you want to stick to MIUI Global Beta don't flash TWRP. Otherwise in my opinion LineageOS 14.1 is really nice if you like a minimalist ROM

How you switched roms? I mean how did you get miui developer rom? I also wanted the developer version of miui but as far as i know one needs to make a dfc cable or unlocked bootloader. So did you used dfc cable.

The dev version of the ROM can be installed using the updater app. You can download the zip and from the updater app select it as the update package. For this you need not use the dfx cable or have an unlocked bootloader.
The only scenario where the cable is needed is when you want to access fastboot when the bootloader is locked and you use EDL mode to flash
Hi, I am having the same situations and its more than 6 days now. I am getting the same message while adding the account in developer options. My question is...

Camera not working - used by another app crap :(

Dear All,
I refer to this below thread for a bit of history;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/help/restore-xperia-x-dual-f1522-to-stock-t3587368
After the success of flashing the stock rom and relocking the bootloader I tried to launch the camera but i keep getting the above message!
FYI I didn't have my TA partition backed up as well as the DRM keys thing-ies.
Any idea of what could be causing this?

I couldn't find the error message your taking about. Briefly read what u said and understood some. So youunlocked bootloader, installed custom recovery and a rom, and manged to flash to official firmware and are having problems with the camera.
As someone mentioned in that other thread you gave, when you block bootloader l, you lose the TA part ions which contains DRM, which can help camera to work as Sony wants it. The lost TA is lost likely causing issues., thus I recommend rooting to do man which have fixes for the lost DRM (not a replacement for the list ones) , so your camera will function correctly again. Be u seen you never made aback up of the TA, you've permanently lost them, even after relocking the bootloader.
P. S. I'm sure someone mentioned a similar thing to you no in the other thread.
Hope I helped u in some way.
Hey man,
Thanks for the thorough reply. So you think I have no hope of getting the camera to work while maintaining the stock firmware with locked bootloader?

That right, I think you dont have any reason to come back to stock firmware when you lost DRM key, because some rom have DRM fix like poision rom and pexorom. In addition, I am using posion rom which is really stable and fixed all your problem.

Which global rom have you got?
I can say I used the guy with the telegram number here on xda and it worked. Took 20 minutes tops, bootloader unlocked on the Chinese model and now have global installed, everything works. Everyone may not want to pay $80 but I did and don't regret it at all.

I have no idea. I have twrp and a unlocked bootloader so if not I can always flash them.
But that said. Everything works and I'm on the latest that I can find online.
So all is good.
Have to say it made a huge difference over the Chinese rom
