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.

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.

Did you reboot after placing uncompressed zip to root of internal storage?
After reboot it should detect the update

Proper Updating Procedure

Hey All, was going through some threads regarding updating my phone and what not and realized that my phone is a few updates behind. I'm currently on WW-16.0631.1910.35. My phone doesn't auto-update for reasons I'm sure everyone here understands. So I'm curious, what's the best method of updating? Job I used to work for, we had a massive program and when it came to installing software, you had to install the program and then update it one update at a time. You couldn't just update to latest. So I'm curious, is this the same? Do I need to update one at a time? Or can I just download latest firmware (which I believe is WW-16.0631.1910.64) and all updates in between will be included?
Also, is WW-17...... Android 10?
And is it as simple as downloading, placing into root, and restarting?

Answered one of my questions
I looked at notes for WW-17 and yes, that is Android 10. I think I'll hold off on that until the bugs get figured out. Or does the community say it's safe to run with that?

1st download device info hw from playstore and under 'system' you will see the device fingerprint (not related to the actual fingerprint reader). You first need to check that this matches the WW rom you have.
If it doesn't match ie says CN, then you need to follow one of the guides in the guides section to change fingerprint to WW.
If fingerprint does match WW, then yes, you can go ahead and place 1910.64 in the root of storage, reboot and choose 'update' when prompted.
From there, you can go ahead and download latest stable A10 (.32) and update to that. Some people prefer the latest A10 stable (as do I), some say they prefer A9 for better battery hardcore gaming. I haven't noticed or had any issues with the latest update, and getting similar battery time. Others experience better on A9.
You choice! Good luck

No extracting Required?

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

To get to latest A10 you need to first update to last A9 1910.64, then onto A10. You need the full zips, not incremental. Most people can skip versions by doing this method, if it fails you'll have to update 1 by 1 in order of release

Sorry, I misread, I thought you were on 1908.12, 1912.22 is a wrong version I think. 1st A10 was 2001.60.
Check ur version again. Once you know which you have, go to https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Download each update in order

Your fingerprint probably doesn't match your rom. Install device info hw from playstore and check what your fingerprint is under 'system'. It'll probably be WW rom with CN fingerprint. You need to follow one of the guides to change fingerprint to be able to update manually with zip updates

Can't do OTA or manual update on a Tencent ROG phone 2 with WW fingerprint.

Hi all,
In November 2019 I purchased this Tencent ROG phone ii off eBay. It came with a ww firmware, however it seems like I am unable to update to any version on the Asus website.
I have attached my HW Info. What is the path I need to take to update this thing to android 11?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, you can't if your device is Tencent, even if you changed the fingerprint to ww and all the other stuff. There is a thread and someone made a small app or something that enables OTA ups for devices like yours (and mine) but I forgot the name and with the miriad of posts here, srsly I can't find it, lol. That thing work by changing the IMEI and other stuff iirc?? but since I'm lazy af it was too troublesome for me so I'm doing the upgrades like this: download the zip file from Asus website, move it to Internal root directory, I mean I just move with File manager from Downloads to Internal and restart the phone. Bam! after restart the phone asks me, do you wanna update? And I'm like O yeah baby, do you have to have to even ask? And thats all. Anyway as of this hours they didnt up the WW version there yet. There was a TW version for testing if I understood corectly but it's gone. Just wait for it

Thanks for your reply. If someone could link me with that app that would be nice.
I have tried every manual update on the Asus website (A9 and A10 ones) and I get "update failed" when trying to run them. This would indicate that i need to flash Raw? The thing is, I thought if I had a ww fingerprint I would be able to at least run the manual updates from Asus?

Also if someone has the version directly after 1908.12.0, I could try update to that via manual update, however I can't find that version anywhere on the internet. I believe 1908.12.1.1 exists somewhere, but it's not on the Asus website

I think u can upgrade by downloading the RAW firmware and install it

I would have to unlock my bootloader, clear all my data and flash via PC to use the raw firmware right? or would i be able to put it in the root directory of my phone and launch it that way?

Yes you have to use your pc and unlock the bootloader and everything it's not that hard and there's a lot of guides here u can use

No worries, thank you. I will flash directly to the android 11 WW Raw once that is released. I'm assuming there will be no problem going straight from 9 to 11 via a raw flash?

U welcome. And I don't think there will be any problems going straight to 11

Yeah that's why i remained on A9, i didn't feel like it was worth the effort to upgrade. However A11 has some cool features with google home that i want.

A10 was a mess in the beginning, in the end it was better than A9.
A11, is even better than both. Battery life has been improved by about 15%.

Sounds good. Does anyone know roughly how long it takes for the raw to show up? Can i raw flash to 10, then manually upgrade to 11?

There's never a known timeline.
You can't use the images provided by Asus in their downloads? The manual OTA?

Nope i can not use the images provided by asus in their downloads. No. That's why i started this thread. I get the dreaded update failed message and nothing happens.
