Go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020 Follow the instructions here to the letter and you'll have zero chance of failing the unlock process
A word of caution, most users experience failure due to improper Fastboot driver installation. It's more likely you will have to install the fastboot driver manually. So be sure to install them when your phone connected in ADB mode (or when your PC asks you to).

Yes, ESA-XXX is unlockable!

The above specified method is the official one by LG.
But, for some reason it did not work for me. (i am on ESA-XXX V20A)
So, follow this tutorial..
The same tutorial is explained in an easier (noob-friendly) way here.. :good:
After unlocking bootloader, install CWM Touch Recovery 6.0.3.1.. (.img included in the thread itself)
I have tested it myself and it works flawlessly..
Enjoy! :highfive:

The official method worked for me. Incredibly easy to do.
Anyway, the best way to unlock the bootloader is via Ubuntu or similar Linux OS.
No need to install drivers. You only need the Android SDK.

After all android is unix-based, too..

FAQ

3. Is this official release? -
Yes!
4. Do I need to have unlocked bootloader to install this?
- No you dont have to. Thank you fedevd for correcting me.
5. How do I fix system.img missing error? (If this occurs to you)

You can try flashing lastest SuperSU from here http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/ but be careful, it hasn't been tested yet on N4 LRX21T release.

No. Why? lol

@isus<3 no need to unlock the bootloader, it's a official and signed firmwre so can be installed with or without unlocked bootloader.. (Remember that some users can be unexperimented and could try to unlock it and mess it up, who knows)

can we flash custom recovery (f.e. twrp) without any problems?

Great. Thank you

You will have to do that via your PC since when you flash factory image it puts back stock recovery.

I flashed it! Works flawlessly, I'm trying to find root for it now.

Flashed and booting up as we speak!
Anyone tried CF root yet? (I know it's early days just asking)

Note 8 N9500 root and tarp possible?

I bought the blue version. Could someone confirm if root and twrp is possible for Snapdragon N9500 version?
Also any decent ROMs for this phone
Thanks

Pump it up

And why can't you look by yourself in the Note 8 section ?

This is what me2151 answered to my question if the N9500 is supported or not and it is not supported and no plans to support it. Only US based Qualcomm devices are supported by SamFAIL root method.

It's possible. I unlocked my BL with this file. Currently waiting for people to make 3rd party roms for it.
Attached link to my gdrive.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-Wqzmcwpi_9c1BpUUJPenI1Y00
Download and install. It will prompt you if you wish to unlock BL
Edit: TWRP is available too. Just that in Chinese. Might be able to change to English.

@xTMODx Try to long press settings icon and then select clear badge, that should do it !
Cheers~

Please help, I can't update android

Hello everyone!
First of all I want to apologize if this question been resolved( I didn't find).
My problem is that I have tencent edition 256/12 with WW firmware version 17.0823.2007.32 and it can't be updated. I know that in my situation it should be possible when downloading update from off web page and manually installing it. But it don't work(
I find video how to change firmware from CN to WW, but none of my PCs don't want see phone properly (in device manager it appear with exclamation mark).
Then I find information about unlocking boot loader, app been installed, couldn't unlock.
Then I read about EOM unlocking in developer settings, and there is no such menu.
After all this I hoping that someone can help me.
Best regards!

Unfortunately when I press unlock device only restarts and that's all, I saw info that it's ok and need to do this procedure 4times but it didn't help me. So I have no errors, even when I try to install update manually it only says "error try again"

There's no OEM unlock for this device under Developer options.
Ensure USB debugging is enabled.
Make sure you install correct drivers installed on your PC.
Use official Asus bootloader unlock tool.

Try using the Origin sdi tool to download those drivers , search on YouTube for a tutorial on Chris Titus Tech channel (sorry can't post any links)

Agree, sounds like a driver issue as device not being recognised, assuming you have followed all the other steps correctly.

If maybe someone know if I have bad firmware I need to do all steps like in Bobby Prats video guide? Simply try to install firmware that he recommend? I mean for my phone now it will be WW 2007.32 to WW 2007.32

Can I ask you how you managed to unlock bootloader?
I can't boot to bootloader mode and I can't unlock it via download mode though OEM unlock is activated in dev options.

Which version of S23 do you have? I just booted in to Download mode and made unlock. Easy.

The Magisk ROM has been installed without any issue, thanks.

Sorry, this may be a stupid question, but does flashing this ROM automatically grants me root access?

Since it's a Magisk ROM your device has to be rooted first.

Hello - does the tweaks pro version work with the base s23?

Thank you very much for this Rom. One problem I am encountering is that I cannot install certain apps for example bromite browser apk or ad away apk (this before installing from the Rom). It just reboots every time. I tried it for root type apps and non root types. I am using default file manager to install. I have latest version of rom installed.
