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ASUS has apparently withdrawn the ability to unlock the bootloader on its phones.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.

Lol this is the technology page and you're going to try to make the argument to not root(/jailbreak) a phone?.. Genuinely lold

Yes...? You can have custom roms without sacrificing security. There's genuinely no reason to root anymore.
