I wonder what their motivation for disabling the unlock tool is. It seems unlikely that will increase profits and it’s likely to cost a handful of sales (I’m one of them).
Their initial post and article about this move on the forums was citing security concerns which is baffling especially given how short their support windows are for their devices.
Unfortunately, due to ASUS being based in China, we are unlikely to get a response until next week.
Even responses are late. Maybe Asus is using the snail mail for everything. They are going to sending floppy disks with the unlocker next month.
Or because anyone in China working normal hours already left for the weekend because they’re 12+ hours ahead of the US.
It’s because timezones. It’s already Saturday in Taiwan.

Nice, time to undust my USB floppy-disk reader.
ASUS isnt in China, its in Taiwan
Taiwan is in China.
Taiwan really does not want to become part of China. Just look at how much they are building up there military
The government of the Taiwan Authority does not want to become part of China. Wherever you are from, I hope you realize that governments in Capitalist states rarely represent their people adequately.
Most people in the province of Chinese Taipei support reunification with the mainland. It is the U.S.-backed government that stands in the way.
Because the non capitalists governments represent the people so well?
wtf bro have you even been to Taiwan? because I have and it’s the fucking polar opposite
Guys how do i sue asus? Also where would i sue? I bought the phone in ireland but live in sweden. I think if enough people sue they gotta do something about it right?

So, Taiwan is now China for Android Authority? Good to know, another one to ignore and not visit anymore…
They have corrected the article.
