Asus had earlier revealed that it will release an unlock tool for the bootloader of the Asus Transformer Prime and recent reports have revealed that the company has fulfilled its promise.
Users will be able to download the unlock tool through the support site of Asus, however users who will use the tool will void the original warranty of their Asus Transformer Prime units. This means that users will have to use the tool at their own risk.
The Android 4.0 OS update for the Asus Transformer Prime was gradually released by the company last January. However a number of developers have criticized the locking of the bootloader of the device offering of Asus.
The bootloader of the Asus Transformer Prime was reportedly encrypted with a 128-bit encryption according to an XDA Developers forum user. This made the bootloader virtually impossible to unlock. A number of tech developers wish to gain access to the bootloader for different reasons and the 1.4GHz quad-core processor of the device has made it more interesting to be able to access the device with no obstacles.
Even as the company revealed that rooting the Asus Transformer Prime will increase the risk of destroying the entire system, it has also indicated that it recognizes the desire of some users to have an unlock tool for the bootloader of the device. Due to this, the company had made a promise to release a tool for users who wanted it.
The downloaded unlock tool for the bootloader of the Asus Transformer Prime can only be used on the devices that have upgrade to the Android 4.0 OS.
Aside from releasing the unlock tool for the bootloader of the Asus Transformer Prime, the company has also indicated that a number of products will be introduced during the forthcoming Mobile World Congress that will be held in Barcelona in the coming week.
