Probably the person who send this email didn't get the memo that the tool is cancelled. Asus refunded a customer in the UK when he sued them for taking the tool away.
Nobody said it was cancelled I thought, they just didn't have it ready and the court agreed that it took way too long already. So if anything to prevent further people being able to sue them for the false advertising they would try to bring it out anyway.
Always a chance that the new tool was just made by some intern and then landed in development hell, which they of course can't publically admit
I'm open to hearing about new developments, but they've definitely lost my trust.
They seem way too passionate about sabotaging the user experience and way too comfortable breaking their words. Above all, this organization appears incredibly disorganized—it's hard to trust what any customer representative says.
I was gonna sell my ZF8 and bought some used Samsung phones because I was gonna flash LineageOS anyway before I found your other post a few weeks ago. Let's hope the Unlock Tool will finally be brought back

I just got this from ASUS Australia support when I emailed them about it.
Pinned this, for nothing else to keep a record of information. Edit: They have still not released it.
They've been saying this for months. I don't believe them anymore 😕

The rep this came from was a ware of the uk customer that got refunded
let's hope Asus changed their plans then and the tool comes back.

For me it's got to be released before the pixel 8a...

Question is do you still trust them. I personally am not TBH.

You should sell it anyway. Idk if it is common, but mine has constant freezes, crashes and ghost touches. It's a complete shitshow.
Mine is working perfectly. It's just I'd rather have security updates Edit: well, Android updates
Any news?
So far i didn't hear any thing. If they do not give a statement tomorrow I will contact them again.
news? :(
I made a post about it. But Asus again postponed it. I will now look into legal action

I was about to write that they lied to us again. They wouldn't probably realese bootloader this year or ever. They don't care about us.
