Been hearing lots of bad things about Asus, especially the whole Gamers Nexus thing

Sad to see this hasn’t improved. I really wanted a zenphone 10, was my ideal set of hardware but when it released was around the time the unlock tool went away and they said month after month that “next month the new version would be out”. Sad since the phone doesn’t have the best update support to begin with so wanted something I could unlock.

This is borderline extortion, for a feature that should have been available at launch without any requests needed

That’s the worst part, it was offered at launch and it was very easy: simple APK install and the click of a button! But suddenly they decided to remove it without any prior warning, and now, after a year or two of promises of BL unlock coming back “in a few months”, they simply said fuck you

That’s for the motherboard replacement, not the bootloader unlock.

They’ve already unlocked and bricked their device, so they need a new motherboard.

Thanks, deleted my comment. I saw a second person on the thread who had the price quoted to them, but I didn’t see context on whether or not they were getting a mobo replaced as well.
