Asus recently launched a smartphone packed with a powerful flagship SoC and gimbal camera system. Today, they released the bootloader unlock tool, firmware, and kernel source for the Zenfone 9. The company itself offers a near-stock Android experience, even though they allow its users to flash custom ROMs or other mods to enhance the experience.
It is pretty standard for Asus to release, and you can download the Zenfone 9 Bootloader unlock tool. The package is an APK that you must install (sideload) on your device. Not to mention, unlocking the bootloader will void the warranty.
You should be cautious before proceeding, and after you successfully unlock the bootloader, your device will reboot as the factory resets. You should keep a backup of your data before proceeding. All internal data on the device will be wiped. Noteworthy, you will not receive any further updates for your device.
Meanwhile, suppose you want the latest update. In that case, you can flash the software update manually by downloading the factory image from the Asus Software Update Download Portal. Asus also kicks off kernels and recoveries to help developers develop exciting mods.
