system update fail (manual update ww16.0631.1908.12-1.1.3) - ASUS ROG Phone II Questions & Answers

I've tried to manual update by download the update file from asus and place it in my internal storage. The system detect the update file but it fails.
Do any of you have solutions? Before this i update to ww-1907.33 by reboot to bootloader, connect to pc, the run "flashall_AFT". Now i don't know how to update my device. Is there any way that i can update without root (use magisk) and unroot my device?

After running flashall... Did you change the fingerprint to WW? Easy way to check is by installing device info hw from the play store. Under system it might say that your product id and fingerprint are still CN

You have to migrate your ROM to full WW including product ID on system factory, otherwise the update will never work.. Search on this forum, somebody already posted how to do it.

Your rom is set to WW but your fingerprint is still set to CN so the update won't work. There is a guide to properly flash over from CN to WW, covering how to change fingerprint as well.

i have issue
just 10% then failed when update android 10 beta 2 from beta 1
and now i can't update beta 3 or 4 with out updating 1st beta 2
mine is WW not CN as shown

any help would be appreciated

Everything on my device is showing WW in device info but after renaming I got update failed

Update Honor 9 lite LLD-AL10 8.0.0.100 (C675) by OTA Possible or NO ?

Hello
I would like to update my Honor 9 lite ordered a china
But It seemsthe OTA update does not work in France for this mode Yes or No ?
I just read almost every page of this thread but I must admit that I am not enough to succeed to make all these manipulations.
I managed to download 3 file of the latest update Huawei Firmware Finder.
I have 1 file (update.zip), 1 (update_data_full_public.zip) and another (update_full_LLD-L22A_hw_in.zip)
But now I do not know how to update the firmware with these 3 files.
Yes I am lost because I can not find a simple method to update my firmware.
I used the Huawei Firmware Finder Android application, but I can not start an update even though I downloaded the files as what by the proxi as advised or go through a DNS.
Yes I am a novice but I would like to successfully update this smartphone.
Thank you for your help and advice
Sorry for my english I am using Google translator
Thank you to all of you

Its not that complicated even though it might seen tricky.
There are two ways to do this:
1)firmware finder(Android app)
You can use firmware finder's update through proxy or dns method.
But before you do that go to play store and search for "system update". In the result you can see the EMUI system update app. Click it and uninstall the updates.
Then open firmware finder(Android app) and go to the firmware you want to install. You can find dns method and proxy method there. DNS would be easier but both works.
Choose whichever you want. Select the auto mode for more ease of installing. Then check for updates from the settings app and you will hopefully find the update listed. Download it like normal OTA update and then it'll be installed.
Points to consider:
*This will only work with a locked bootloader and if it is unlocked relock it
*It's recommend to download only full updates as these will have less chance of failing
*Make sure that you only download approved firmwares otherwise the update will be abandoned after download (means you wasted your data for nothing)
*Choose which firmware to install carefully and try to stick with your varient as installing other varient's firmware may fail or cause bugs
2)Through HuRupdater
This is not recommended if you're not familiar with rooting or bootloader unlocks
If you don't have an unlock code then you cannot proceed as honor stopped giving bootloader unlock codes so if you don't have your code keep trying the first method
You can use the firmware finder for PC or Android.
Download all 3 files of the firmware (ONLY FULL OTAs)
Then unlock the bootloader(if not done yet)
Flash a twrp for our device
Then download HuRupdater
Follow the guidelines: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Long story short, you need to rename the three files to "update.zip" , "update_all_hw.zip" and "update_data_public.zip"
Then keep all three files and HuRupdater .zip in the same folder. Using TWRP flash the HurUpdater.zip file(not others)
After flashing is done relock the bootloader to recieve further OTA Updates.
Then you're all good to go.
Points to consider:
*Don't relock bootloader right after flashing. Boot up the phone and set it up. Check if everything is working and then only relock it.
*Keep recovery.img with the 3 files and HuRupdater.zip while flashing. Then after checking if everything is okay, flash the firmware again but this time delete the recovery.img
*Don't relock with TWRP installed because of possible risk of bricking.
So if you are familiar with the rooting procedures 2nd method might be good but you'll loose warranty.
I honestly recommend the 1st one as it has less risk involved.
But remember everything you do is at your own risk.
Anyways there is a thanks button below ?
Edit: hey I just noticed that you have an LLD-AL10 C675. So there's a new update B188. You can find it in firmware finder. It is approved and goes with your varient. Use the dns method. Refer above for details
Hello
I finally managed to update my Honor 9Lite
1 - You must remove all updates from EMUI
2 - Go in Huawei Firmware Finder find the right version for your Smartphone (I took a Fuul OTA 188. and check its compatibility
3 - Change your Internet Connection with Proxy Settings as requested by Firmware Finder
4 - Go to system settings and start checking for updates
An update will be found and it is good that you have selected in Firmware Finder.
5 - Start the update, when the download starts 1% pause it.
6 - Shut down the Wifi resume download with 4G.
7 - Once the download is done the update is done by itself do not interrupt it-
8 - The phone restarts and check that the update has gone well
For me everything went well
Thank you all for your advice :good::good::good:
Have a good day

"System update failed" No matter which update file/name (android 9 or 10)

Can someone help me please? I have tried so many different files and so many different file names but no matter what, I get an instant "system update failed" message when i click ok selecting the update. I have tried files here in xda and every A9toA10 update file I could find on Telegram, with every combination of file names, but no luck. I always get the same message. I also tried the official update of the same version (A9) nothing.
I did RAW firmware (1910.64) relocking bootloader, wiping before and after bootloader relock, still nothing.
I am currently at 1910.64, completely stock, bootloader locked (no warning on boot), no google account or patern required, not even connected to wifi, I STILL get the update failed message.
What am I missing guys? Is there a specific file I should be using? Everyone seems to be updating successfully, except me...
I don't care its a beta, I just need Android 10 for the global dark mode and the not-broken notifications of 9s doze.

Did you change the fingerprint?

No I didn't touch that. Compared to the S10+ the fingerprint is much better on the ROG so I didn't feel the need to.
I found the solution so for anyone in the same position with me:
You will need to be rooted at the latest Pie version of RAW WW rom.
If your phone is Tencent (like mine) you can't do OTA updates of WW versions and thats why I was getting the error message. You need to change the /vendor/factory/COUNTRY file from CN to WW. Use root explorer and its build-in text editor to open the file and change CN to WW. Reboot now.
The OTA update will still not start if you have rooted boot.img BUT magisk won't also flash the OTA update if you dont have rooted boot.img!
So you need to press "uninstall" at the bottom of the magisk manager and "restore images" at the prompt. This will restore the stock image, but still give you the ability to patch the OTA update and still have root when u update to 10. I thought just to fastboot the stock boot.img but nope! magisk wont patch the OTA if you boot with stock boot.img.
When you will press "restore images" you will get a message that a stock backup is not present and after some researching, I found out that the backups are expected to be in "/data/" with the filename: "stock_boot_SHA1.img.gz" so you need to gzip your stock image, generate its sha1 code and put it in the file name. I used 7zip for gziping and hashmyfiles to generate the SHA1. If you don't have the stock image, you can extract it from the official firmware's (asus website) payload.bin file using payload_dumper-win64"
After you get the "backup" gzip of your stock boot.img with the correct filename (including the sha1) you place it inside the "/data/" folder with root explorer (not "data/data/" just "/data") and you can now "uninstall" and "restore images" from the magisk.
When that is complete, copy the OTA .zip file of Android 10, disconnecting the usb cable from ur pc should trigger the notification that an update is present. Start the update, when it reaches 100% it will ask you to reboot. Select "later" and go back to magisk, select install and "install to inactive slot (after ota)" and restart when that finishes.
You should boot back to Android 10 and have magisk and root at this point.
Hardest rooting I have ever done, google really f'ed us with android 10 "security". I miss the good old days we were just flashing 1 file in fastboot and we had root+twrp+hapiness...
Good Luck to anyone trying.

Are you sure you are looking at the right folder? I believe its a mandatory file, but I am not sure. Maybe if you don't have it is for the better even. When you do factory reset, in what language is the setup? Before I edited that file mine was in chinese, but after editing its english.
Anyway, I have included a screenshot of the rest of the files inside /vendor/factory so u can check if you look in the right place.
I also uploaded the country file here DELETE THE .TXT extension, I put it so I could upload it here.

How to manual update to A10 & It will wipe my Data?

I just downloaded A10 firmware from Asus Website. I want to update but there was not any instruction on how to do that Please help me how to update. Also i want to know if update will wipe my internal data & Apps?
just put on internal storage then reboot your phone, your data is safe ?
It doesn't wipe but I would suggest to back it up anyway. I assume you have a tencent version?
Download the 2.5gb update, cut it and paste on your root folder (usually called internal storage). Reboot then it should prompt that there's updates available and just follow onscreen instructions..which is really just reboot after. This ONLY works if you have ww fw and ww fingerprint
This is what i did on mine coming from A9. Hope this helps. Again back up your data.

Mine is WW fw and WW fingerprint but cannot update to A10, it shows that update failed after i reboot it.
Hey guys, same problem. Have WW for firmware and fingerprint but get update failed after reboot. Any ideas?
cant manual update too from .64 to latest android 10.someone,please help
cant manual update too from .64 to latest android 10.someone,please help
Be sure you are on the latest Android 9 version (1910.64) before trying to manually update to Android 10. So if you're not on the latest Android 9 yet (check under Settings > System > Software information), first download the 1910.64 USER zip, put in your internal storage main folder, reboot the phone, upgrade when it prompts you, then reboot. Then download latest Android 10 USER zip and repeat the process.
If for some reason that does not work, you can try updating through fastboot. You have to use the RAW firmware zip file. Though this may wipe your phone; I have not tested, so not 100% sure.
Upgraded 2 times didn't wiped but always backup and if you ever want to use the downgrade 10 to 9 firmware it will wipe your data.
Update.

You have to move up in updates 1 step at a time. I was having the same problem. You have to update each update one at a time you can't skip any.

No dude, that's not entirely correct... If you only download the small incremental updates (about 180-300MB), then yes, you have to update one at a time because they are just small 'addons' if you like to update to the next rom version from the previous version.
However, if you download the full update zip (about 2.2GB) you can directly update from latest A9 1910.64 to latest A10 2004.60.... You can get it from here
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/..._I001_1-ASUS-17.0230.2004.60-1.1.162-user.zip
If that still fails for some reason then you'll have to update using the raw rom which can be found here
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261813058
Try the first link, download it, put it in the root of storage and reboot phone. It should automatically detect the update and prompt you to update. Post back here if that fails and I'll walk you through updating using the raw rom on the second link. Saves having to download and update a whole bunch of times like the other guy suggested just to get to the latest version. (no offence to Lonewolf, I appreciate you are simply trying to help, but just thought I'd clear that up ?)
Tried time and time again all from Asus website full zips around 2 gb wouldn't work until I went through them in order just finished. It would not update any other way I swear.

Oh OK dude. Thanks for letting us know and your help . Totally believe you, no need to swear on it! Strange though, I've advised several people to update straight from A9 1910.64 to latest A10 2004.60 using this method and everyone's reported back that all went well.
Were you initially updating from a version earlier than 1910.64?
If so then it would fail. 1910.64 was the last A9 update, you needed to be on that before it updates straight to latest A10 using the full zip.

Ok, so I read through this, and it did not work.
I have the WW version, and matched it. I am currently still on 16.0631.1910.35_0. I placed the zipped 1910.64-1.1.253 upgrade on the internal storage, and nothing. Just assuming I am an idiot, I am going to try unzipping it so the payload.bin is no longer compressed and see if it works then. My bootloader is still unlocked and my tencent phone is not rooted. Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Updating Firmware on a Rooted Phone with TWRP

Hello
I have an ROG Phone 2 12/512 which should be a WW version (I'm not sure, can someone tell me how to check)
When I bought the phone the place I bought it from rooted then did something for the IMEI registration (In Turkey importing a phone and registering is 300€ almost)
I asked them to leave it rooted since I always used my last phone rooted (Galaxy S7)
The phone is currently on Android 9, 5 July 2019 Security patch
What I want to do is update my firmware and then if necessary root my phone again
I'm pretty used to the Samsung environment and am used to using Odin
This Asus phone is pretty new to me and I don't know the tools and the things I should be aware of
Can someone give me a head start on what I should use and what I should do to update my phone with the stock firmware.
The sticker on the back of the phone says ASUS 1001DC and there is no tencent logo as far as I can see that is why I believe it is a WW version
Edit 1: Also whenever I reboot my device there is an Unlocked Bootloader Warning
Thank you

You can use 'device info hw' from playstore to check your fingerprint. Under 'system' it'll say if you're on WW rom and also that your device fingerprint matches - needs to also be WW to update, not CN.
That app will also tell you the exact rom version you are running. Now, if you're a hardcore gamer, it might be best to update to latest A9 and stay with that for the time being. Some users report that it's best for gaming. Provided your fingerprint matches your rom, you can go ahead and download the latest A9 update which is 1910.64 and can be found in the guides section. Be sure to download the full rom zip and place it in the root of internal storage. Reboot and choose to install the update when prompted. Provided the update reaches 100% without fail, DON'T choose reboot now, select reboot later. Go to magisk manager, choose install magisk, then choose install magisk after ota. That'll give you root again (if that is what you want). Then reboot. That'll put you on the latest A9 rom.
However, the update may fail as you have a magisk-patched boot img. If it does report back here
If you want the latest A10, then repeat the same process after downloading latest A10 which ends with 2002.32, which can also be found in the guides section.
Good luck

Hello;
I could only do it today, was a bit busy
I tried A9 update and it was successful.
Thank you for your help.
Made it very easy for me.
I read up on the A10 update and although I'm not a phone gamer much the comments weren't that good on the update.
I will wait for the next one and depending on the comments will update to it.
Thanks again

How To Guide Updating the firmware (If it does not appear in the settings)

Updating from an update file​I have been seeing a lot of posts about people not receiving the OTA on their phone, and got tired of linking my instructions, so I decided to make a separate post​
Download the version that you need from the Asus Zenfone 8 Support page (Note that if you are not on the latest Android 11 firmware (30.12.112.72), you will not be able to Android 12. So you need to do these steps with the latest Android 11, and then re-do them for the Android 12 firmware)
Plug in your phone to your computer, make sure the computer is trusted and that you can transfer files from the PC to the phone.
Move the zip file of the update in the base directory of the phone (The same directory as Alarms, Downloads, etc).
Wait for the transfer to finish, then you can unplug your phone if you want.
Reboot the phone
After the reboot, the phone will take a few seconds/minutes and will notify you that an update file was found, select the option to update the phone
It will then extract the update and install it all by itself, the normal update procedure starts from there

not work for me :/
I've spent a couple of hours yesterday to get this thing working. Basically, the Android 12 update will only update from specific image. I will try to describe the whole process below.
You have to do this process to upgrade all the way up to 30.12.112.7. If you have anything else, it won't work.
First, I've reverted back to stock, using
WW-ZS590KS-31.0803.0403.54-user_20210831-release.zip
... which contains the full flash scripts.
In my case, I had to do these delta upgrades manually (so copying the zip to root of sdcard memory).
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.56-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.62-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-30.12.112.72-1.1.31-user.zip
UL-I006D-ASUS-31.1004.0404.81-1.1.25-2111-user.zip
Number 4 is actual android 12 update. Hope this helps anyone.

I think that what is needed is to update to the latest firmware, then Android 12. So if you are already on Android 11, but not latest firmware, install it with the instructions, then do the same to update to Android 12's latest version.

What part does not work? Please be more specific and also, you should re-read the steps more carefully, in case you missed something
The android version I currently have is 30.12.112.72
I downloaded version 31.1004.0404.81 from the asus site to have android 12 on my zenfone 8.
I copied the folder without extracting it and put it in my phone's internal storage next to the other folders.
Once the copy was finished I restarted my phone so that it offered me the update but it did not offer it to me.
I do not understand why .

It also depends what prefix your installation has. See the first letters
UL-...
If you are from some other region, it could be that UL- is not a fitting upgrade option for you. As far as I can tell, it's not possible to tell which of the versions you have.
I give you the build number which is marked in the software information:
RKQ1.2021022.002.30.12.112.72
I have the right version or not suddenly?
Thank you for the quick tutorial. I was doing this via fastboot till now.
However: I upgraded to the latest firmware BEFORE Android 12. No issues.
Then I upgraded to the Android 12 firmware: stuck. Gave me some kind of ram dump, reboot returned me to the same error: bootloop. I was able to reboot and get to the bootloader. After selecting "recovery" it actually booted Android. And now for the weird part: it looks like I have a mix of Android 11 and Android 12 now! The phone is all but unusable for how slow it is. But the main UI looks like Android 11 still, but things like the reboot screen now look like Android 12. Bizarre...
I was at least able to enable ADB debug again, so I think I will be able to recover the phone. Still a weird issue though. Don't know if flashing with fastboot would have prevented it...
If anything fails, you can always try the Asus flash script it will solve most of the issues with your phone, just note that it installs Android 11 (30.11.51.115)

EDIT: nvm, I saw your other reply, you alreay tried that. Were you able to get it working again?
Going from WW-30.12.112.82 to WW-31.1004.0404.107 worked flawlessly, i did not lose settings or data on that upgrade (but I want to stress that a good backup is STILL a very good thing to have!) It then started downloading the 31.1010.0410.43 upgrade on its own. (shown in the ui as SKQ1.210821.001.31.1010.0410.43)
Why didn't I upgrade to the latest one myself? Simple: I goofed up and downloaded the older one.
change the name in UL-ASUS_I006D-ASUS-99.1004.0404.82-1.1.31-9999-user.zip
Hi, has anyone tried to upgrade a firmware that has Magisk and TWRP installed? Today Android 13 has been released for the Zenfone 8, but I wouldn't really like to do something really dumb such as upgrading, rebooting to recovery to reinstall Magisk only to discover that TWRP has been replaced by the stock recovery and the phone completely erases any data it has stored.
You can update by putting the fw in sdcard folder, while keeping magisk (you need to restore images before updating and reinstalling magisk in the inactive slot after updating, then reboot). Otherwise, you can just update through system or through twrp, and after that, boot/flash twrp and install magisk again. In both ways you won't lose any data

Thank you! As this is my first phone with A/B slots, I wasn't completely sure about how to proceed. I'll follow your instructions! The only thing I don't get is where is TWRP stored and why it won't be overwritten by the update.
EDIT: installed successfully, thanks!
