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.

Was coming from the WW_ZS660KL_16.0631.1910.64 from the convert from cn to ww thread which I believe is the raw. Been trying for a week or so to figure it out always said system update failed until I went through them one at a time.

Oh OK, fair enough. Glad you've got it updated now bud, which ever way works! ?
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.

Hi guys, I am only a very junior user who randomly flash his phone but most of the time I want my phone to be stable for work. I have had the situation since the recent OTA available, suffered a lot, would like to seek any help or advice.
I have a L09C635B361, Japan version. I updated to Android 7 via OTA, then unlocked / rooted under the instructions in this forum, forgot which exact thread though. Never thought of flashing any customized rom so I haven't realized the update problem until the recent OTA update (from B361 to B382) released. I got the push, downloaded B382 OTA package, restart to TWRP, then the flash was failed in TWRP screen. Restart again, the system notified there was a recent update failure. Then I installed Firmware Finder, downloaded the 3 update zip files, restart back to TWRP, still failed installing. Please refer to the failure screenshot for detailed reson. I have no idea what it said and how I should do differently.
No other way to go, I backed up my system, then wiped my phone, reset to factory mode, but brand new system was very strange: only voice input, no keyboard, missing several key functions such as camera. So I have to restore to my previous system, everything worked well except I can't open "clock".
Right now I am looking at system notification of B382 all the time, but I can't figure out how to get it updated, I don't mind if there's a way enables me go back to stock rom, but it's really hard to find the stock firmware for C635......
Thanks, appreciate your help in advance.
Hey man, try follow this guide to debrand your phone (get onto C432). It will probably unroot you and get you back to stock firmware as well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/guide-debranding-to-c432-updating-to-t3551523
Might want to check around first though, I dont want you bricking your phone on my account.
Good luck

Thanks bro. I will try the entire process when I have a backup phone.
One more thing is when I first tried to wipe phone, failed for several times. Plus the TWRP flashing error, I have suspect that there's something wrong with my partition information or format error. Can anyone help me to eliminate the possibility by the screenshot please?
On the other hand, I found 3 zip files on Firmware for same version update. Which one should I flash? If I need to flash all of the 3, is there a sequence?
The screenshot for the 3 zip files.

You flash those in the order they appear. Except the last one, don't flash that (I think). From what I know it's always been update.zip and then update_hw.zip.
I see you're going to flash hw_jp which is the Japanese cust, so ignore the advice above about debranding to c432 as that's essentially the same thing as what you are about to do with those files. (C432 is the European version, which is called update_hw_eu.zip)
Also the voice input only bug is well known. You need to rollback to marshmallow (I forget which firmware but there's a thread on it here somewhere) and then OTA back to nougat and it should fix it.

Anyone try this and successful? Any ideas what the heck I am missing here?!

Maybe corrupted download? Try downloading again.

Let me download it again. Hope it works. If this does work, I will feel a lot better about updating my awesome phone in the future. Coming from Samsung on AT&T hopefully ASUS keeps the updates fairly regular.
Nope, still not working. Oh well, guess I can wait for the raw version.
But if anyone has any ideas on what I am missing, please chime in.

If you haven't changed the fingerprint to WW yet, the OTA file will be recognized and fail. Change fingerprint and you should be good

you probably got a Chinese 8gb version with flashed WW firmware, which means no OTA anymore. You gotta flash manually after unlocking the bootloader, rooting and so on.

I'm on 1906 ww. I understand this phone needs a manual flash each time, do I need to flash with every update using raw files and will this also wipe the phone so every update means a wipe?
Can I root, install twrp and simply update the firmware no issue or is it bs?
How do I actually manually update to this? When I hold down on the options button and choose "more options", it still only says Auto-Download System Update
Do I need to flash through fastboot?
Edit: Nevermind, I restarted my phone and it gave me a pop up saying it sees the update

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
Updating from an update fileI 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-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.

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)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/full-recover-to-stock-if-things-went-really-bad.4337467/
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

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!
NE2215, Rooted running .c22.
I have followed all the rules, unrooting with Magisk restoring images, then either using the system updater to download the OTA, or the local update apk to install an OTA. In every instance, whether it is c26 or c30, it fails with the unhelpful message "Installation Problem"
I suspect that this was caused by my having at one point installed the unofficial TWRP recovery, which I later uninstalled and replaced with the stock recovery. I had thought returning to the stock recovery would solve the problem, but it continues to exist.
Can someone suggest the steps I should take to get the phone to take the update? This was not a problem when OnePlus was providing full installs, but I'm having no luck at all with the recent updates.
Many thanks for your help.
Maybe Oxygen Updater has full download link?

I would try to flash stock boot.img without any root etc., reflash stock recovery if possible and then download FULL ota link using oxygen updater and then via localupdate.apk try to install it.
Also you can try to use this software:
OPPO System Upgrade Tool | OPPO Global
Only 5 steps to upgrade to new system. Always optimize your OPPO device when there's the latest software update available to enhance the system stability.
www.oppo.com
It should be possible to upgrade your OP10P with it even with OxygenOS without issues.
Hopefully some of those will help you to upgrade.

Many thanks, will give both suggestions a shot. But isn't the OTA update by definition only a partial update? My problem really arose when OnePlus stopped releasing full updates. Or am I confusing something?

Not necessarily. It can be partial and full, too.
Full updates are released in case of any issues, also rooted devices need full update files.
Give it a shot and hopefully you will be successful.

When I unroot (restoring images) and then try to boot the stock boot image, (just to check before actually flashing it,) it goes into Crashdump mode. Any ideas how to fix? (Since I just booted rather than flashed, I'm out of Crashdump mode but back to square one.)

You can try complete uninstall of the magisk by clicking on that button in the app, but better have a backup of your data if anything goes wrong.
Or you can just download the full Ota zip using oxygen updater and use that local update apk if it goes through. Also use that local update apk for android 13 as there is for A12 and for A13. It might solve the issue too.
Did you flash stock recovery to both slots the last time?

yes. you flashed the slot you were on and was able to update since you have the stock images, but now you're on the other slot that probably still has twrp.

Okay, I flashed stock recovery to both slots, but still update fails. The system says that I am running c.22, and tries to update me to c.30. On the other hand, the Oxygen Updater says "You need to install c22 first, and then update to subsequent updates via incremental." It then proceeds to download c.22. (I should note that at one time c.26 was installed; Not sure how we dropped back to c.22.)
Regardless, the update fails, even using the local update for Android 13.
Any ideas? I don't like the idea of being stuck forever on c.22.

idk. safest way is probably change regions or wait for a full rom. I have c.30 ota download links in my update post, but idk if you want to chance it.
