What the lame, user already buy they product but user can't modify it like apple did....
Tbh, it has been years since I last rooted a phone. There is hardly any reason left to do it tbh.
Yes there is.
If you want a cfw, which you do because your phone either comes with 2 years of updates or has touchwiz.
If you run cfw you NEED safetynet. Even the witzair app crashes without it. If you cfw and need safetynet, you have to have magisk. Magisk needs root for the safetynetfix.
I have been using an old samsung tablet with lineage os (android 12), but the last stock rom was android 6.
So yeah, for me the ability to unlock the boot loader is a must. And that's not even mentioning getting away of spooky-ware I got as a gift a Huawei phone, really good phone but when I tried to search an app using the sistem laucher it fucking asked for a lot of data, fingerprints, etc. I was sorry to this person but I just sold it ASAP since I wasn't able to install a Custom Rom to get away from all that crap.
In search of incredible no more.
Oh I think they keep searching. They're just not always finding it.
Asus gave an update saying the server is currently down but will be back up. But their response was not exactly the most reassuring that bootloader unlock will continue to be available.
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.
