ASUS is apparently taking away the ability to unlock the bootloader on its phones. The company’s technical support team reportedly informed a customer that unlocking the bootloader (also known as rooting) on Zenfones is no longer possible and won’t be possible in the future. The customer’s query was specifically about unlocking the Zenfone 9. ASUS’s support team made it clear in the email that unlocking won’t work on the Zenfone 9 and Zenfone 10.
