AFAIK there is no solution to lock after unlocking boot loader ATM.

Hej Paul,

We meet again
Since there is no relock atm I'll wait a bit.
Won't take the chance to brick a 970 euro device.

After rooting with this, I updated to the latest busy box and my padfone restart and stayed off. I cannot on it and when I plug it in to my com, it loaded the Qhusb_dload driver. I cannot access anything, will someone please help me?

Can u enter into fastboot mode?
fastboot = Volume Up + Power button

Or even in recovery?
recovery = Volume Down + Power button)

bad news, maybe you've bricked your device.

which busybox did u installed? from where?

[killkyo]

Busybox from play store. I had no choice but to send the phone in to ASUS. Hopefully it will be out soon.

Hi, I found there is update of firmware, now it's 10.4.12.24.  Does this root work on this version too?

[erkkiboy83]

hey!any suggestions on how to update to the new 10.4.12.24 since the OTA update is not working with the unlocked bootloader? or is there one out for the WWE? didnt find it on the asus site...

[Koplinjp]

Looks like there are a few people that bricked their phones (me included). Some tells that was TWRP fault, others the root method...
Can someone with better knoledge explain...?

[erkkiboy83]

i did make my own guide from various sources which worked perfectly, but i guess i cant share that here...

[rikiau123]

yes the guide, please

[erkkiboy83]

i PM you the guide

[rikiau123]

thank

I see that in the new ota is a small recovery patch. It can be the reason of the brick.
Maybe the ota will patch the TWRP causing the brick.
My suggest is to upload to you sdcard the WWE_A68-10.4.12.24-0-ota-user.zip, with fastboot flash (or boot only... but I don't test it) the stock recovery and update your devices. Then flash again CWM or TWRP and root. For me worked!

Can you provide the guide?
I'm going to update to wwe 10.4.12.24, did you root with superboot?
I don't have any custom recovery...
