Update from Asus

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.

**TL;DR

  • ASUS has apparently withdrawn the ability to unlock the bootloader on its phones.
  • As per the company’s technical support team, Zenfone 10 and Zenfone 9 users won’t be able to root their phones.

I suspect we'll eventually need to create a standard much like th PC Clone, in which hardware, OS and software are independently produced and support compatibility standards.

Not in the current clime of unregulate capitalism, though.

I'm afraid the PC ecosystem is one-of-a-kind, and perhaps once it's gone, we'll never have anything like it again. Companies are obsessed with vertical integration now, owning everything from software to peripherals and accessories. The closest thing we have to PC ecosystem where multiple independent companies works to support a single platform is perhaps the raspberry pi ecosystem, but even then it's pale in comparison to the PC ecosystem in term of variety and number of manufacturers.
