Guest ChazW123 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Got my Padfone Infinity and station/tablet dock too and am interested in rooting it, would rather not have to unlock the bootloader though, just want root for backups and to maybe change build prop for Sky Go etc :) Version details: Android Version: 4.1.2 Baseband Version: M3.19.19-A80_12133 [Apr 11 2013 12:11;43] Kernel Version: 3.4.0-perf-g00c0cd6-00001-g8fa9b78 android@mcrd1-30)) #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 15 19:29:09 CST 2013 Build Number: JZO54K.TW_Padfone-10.6.8.1-0 Camera f/w version: 71057 Padfone D/S Version: I8562-p565-tW00080005-c0219 Touch f/w version: C6 -T0 -V76 Paul & friends, any help on rooting would be greatly appreciated.

Guest perkz Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just picked up one of these, awesome phone. Decided to ask Asus support whether they planned on releasing a bootloader unlock tool, like they did for the Padfone2. They got back to me with: Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for contacting ASUS Service Care. Of course. Now we are try our best to. Please stay tuned for more news on our support website. Thanks for your understanding. Wish you a nice day! So with any luck we'll have something from them sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ChazW123 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Just received another OTA update (my 2nd since getting the phone direct from TW), good to see ASUS are on the ball. Now on firmware version 10.6.8.9-0 (still Android 4.1.2) and also received a camera f/w update to version 71064. Also 3x ASUS s/w updates today in the Play Store. They have been busy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy to be a guinea pig :) do not bother about Rooting, Asus will Force Bootloader Unlock for Infinity to Root, meaning same policy applies Loosing Warranty. the Rooting option for PF2 will not work for Infinity. Bugs and quirks on PF2 had been cleaned out, will not happen again on PFI. Plus we do not have any plans to release the Rooting function for Infinity until Asus approves it for Bootloader Unlock. @Chaz, as a guinea pig, you are taking a Huge Risk of Permanent Bricking your Phone and Loosing Warranty. Are you Up/ready for it? Edited May 23, 2013 by narutofma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cturbos Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Are you an ASUS rep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest narutofma Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Are you an ASUS rep? contracted, as for rep NO. All rep for Asus dont know anything, only reading the guide/book given to them. the only way to Root Asus phone with out breaking warranty, especially Padfone series, you will need their Developer plug-in console for the phone. This plug-in are hardware coded plus Personal Identification coded plus Cellular number coded per device. With out all 3 components, rooting with out unlocking bootloader is impossible.

Are you Up/ready for it? Sorry nope, it is my main phone that I use for work so cannot have it going down completely. Am happy to give any details on partitions, etc. and logcats or anything but can't be without it I'm afraid. I'm happy to wait for an ASUS bootloader unlock tool if that's the way to go. To be honest haven't needed root really as yet and if Sky get there arses in gear and get Sky Go to work on it then I wouldn't bother rooting. Have a Chromebook now for tinkering with, have that sideloaded with Ubuntu to 'play' with now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a Chromebook now for tinkering with, have that sideloaded with Ubuntu to 'play' with now :) here is what I know for Padfone series, there is a likely know factor Asus working with Ubuntu. But there is also a 95% likely chance they will NOT make it available to Padfone 1 / 2 / Infinity. Meaning they will make a new Version Padfone for Ubuntu Touch OS. In Asus Mind, their thinking are similar to Apple thinking, they only will continue to upgrade their latest Flagship. The prior generation will be update later. If you want the latest OS, buy the newest Device!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
