Question Relock bootloader on Zenfone 8 - ASUS ZenFone 8

I used the official application offered by Asus support to unlock the bootloader, but I can't return it as it was originally. Asus says I voided the warranty, but it all started because of the Android 13 update that had a bug where the wi-fi hotspot didn't work anymore and I wanted to downgrade to Android 12.
Can you tell me how to do the original relock? Thank you.
Forgive my English, I don't know it well.

Hi!
Yes you can relock the bootloader with a simple command in bootloader mode. It has been answered before, look at this thread or this post for example.
However be aware of two things:
1) just as unlocking, it will wipe all your data
2) it will not undo all the damage from unlocking the bootloader, your warranty will stay broken and as far as i heard you will also still not get OTA updates from ASUS ever again

You will not get OTAs after relocking but your warranty will still be honored (in the US anyways).

The problem lay in the fact that I did not enter bootloader mode, but fastboot. Solved!

[Q] Rooting and Installing a ROM on Galaxy Note

Before you send me a link to Dr. Ketan's guide, I'd just like to say that his instructions are incomprehensible for me. I understand English isn't his main language, so I will not follow his guide in fear of bricking my device.
So I request for someone (preferably someone whose main language is English) to provide comprehensive instructions on how to root my device which can't be rooted using the traditional method (I have one of the newer kernels). Instructions on what to do next to install a custom ROM would also be appreciated. Ultimately, I hope I can install the Rocket ROM without bricking my device.
By no means am I trying to insult Dr. Ketan. I'm just saying that instructions should be given in clear, comprehensive English to avoid a misunderstanding. Dr. Ketan put in effort in that guide, that I can wholeheartedly agree.
It's just a shame many of XDA's professionals don't reside in an English-speaking country.

I must apologize. I mean no disrespect to non-English speakers. I should have worded my last sentence better.
I have no qualms about having non-English speakers in the community. They're vital to promoting the website to other people.
I wouldn't mind his (Dr. Ketan) guide so much except for the fact that we're dabbling in things that could potentially brick our phones. To some people, bricking is totally alright with them as they have the income to simply replace their phones. However, to people like me, breaking or bricking a phone basically means having no phone for the next few years.
As such, it shouldn't be selfish of me to ask for a guide that addresses any issues I might have in clear, comprehensive English.
Once again I mean no disrespect to Dr. Ketan and other non-English speakers here. I'm just very concerned about my device and the risk I'm taking in rooting my phone. I was very harsh with my words, calling the guide incomprehensible when really, only a handful of sentences were misleading.
Now, with that out of the way, I'll go back on topic. When I mentioned his guide, I specifically meant this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Which part do I follow to get root and CWM on my phone?
Chances of bricking samsung phones are extremely low. If you are afraid to bricke yours. Try and understand ketan's guide.
It is in my opinion comprehensible.
But i will do my best to simplify it.
Download stock firmware kk9.
Download cfroot kernel kk9.
Download odin.
All from ketans thread.
Switch off phone. Turn on phone holding vol down. Power and home. And then ignore the warning and continue.
Open up odin click on pda and open stock firmware kk9. And start.
After reboot. Go to setting application. Enable usb debug and unknown sources.
In cfroot kernel folder. Click on not rooted yet. . Done.

I can't help it if I don't fully understand his guide. That's why I made this thread, asking for clarification.
Um i added my simplified explanation.

Thank you. One question however:
Shouldn't I download the ROM that applies to my carrier? I'm from Singapore and none of the Singapore ROMs are KK9.
Simply i would like to say Sorry, cudn't help you guy.

Please, don't be sorry. Clearly I'm the simple-minded one since I'm the only one having issues reading your guide. You spent a lot of time on it, so I'm the one who should be sorry for thrashing it.
OK, I'll try to help you, although I'm also not a native English speaker.
1. go to this thread and download N7000XXKK9 rom. Unzip it (password: samfirmware.com) and you'll get a .tar.md5 file and a .dll file.
2. download PC Odin from here.
3. read and follow this carefully - it's very comprehensive and has a picture guide to PC Odin flashing.
4. now you'll have an old GB rom. If you get stuck in bootloop after flashing is done, don't panic. Pull out your battery, wait apprx. 30 secs, put it back in. Press volume up + home + power button and your phone will boot into stock recovery. Do 'wipe cache' followed by 'wipe user data/factory reset'. Reboot your phone.
5. download the zip attachment. Unzip it and start not-rooted-yet.bat. Follow the instructions to the letter.
6. if all goes well, you'll have a rooted KK9 rom at this point, and can flash anything you like from its CWM Recovery.
I hope my pidgin English is good enough.

Now I feel incredibly stupid. Even though English isn't your main language, you gave solid and specific instructions. Thank you for the help.
I truly am sorry if I insulted any non-English speakers. Please forgive me.

If you dont have SIM restriction (carrier free), you can have any ROM.

I have a carrier locked Note, yet I have flashed everything under the sun with no problems whatsoever.
New problem: I can't download from Hotfile. Does anyone have a direct link? I tried googling it and all I found was Multiupload links that wouldn't load on my browser and Hotfile links which download at 5kb/s.
Try downloading from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-n7000-galaxy-note/
They have both direct downloads and torrents.

[Q] Problem with new ROM & Morelocale2

Hello, i am new to the world of custom ROMS. I followed this great guide and i installed to my IncS this ROM.
Everything works fine so far, but when i install Morelocale2 to switch to my native language, not everything is translated. Some words/phrases remain in English.
When i was on Icecream and Sense 3.6, i also had morelocale installed and every word was translated to my native language.
How can i solve this problem?

Thank you for saying my guide was great and am happy you managed to successfully achieve S-OFF or wherever u stopped.
But to answer your question i think this is more of a ROM related issue. You might want to talk to interaser about it and ask him.

That's the first thing i tried, but i wasn't allowed to post to the ROM thread due to low number of posts.

I have read and stilted and find nothing. I'm not new to forums (If here because my spoken is Spanish and I have no idea English and translators are lousy) and to look and dig and here I searched and searched carefully and find nothing.
Otherwise, there would not be asked this question.

I know, these aren't stock roms you can just flash with a custom recovery. But they're all instructions how to get back to stock. Just read them carefully. And while typing this if found this outside of XDA:
http://www.firmware-team.com/showthread.php?t=3103
Pick what you like! And again: Read all the instructions carefully (and perhaps learn some English, while reading, on the go with it!)!
Now I'm learning English, but I'm a Portuguese living in a community of Spain having another language Ugh ............... language and is the fourth largest me hehe.
As for the links you gave me thanks, but reading me I realize that I expressed badly, wanted the stockstock zip but custom recovery, which is not the factory image, but nonetheless I appreciate that you've sought me those links .
