I have a Zenfone 6 on CN 1.15, trying to downgrade so I can up it to WW.

I'm following the steps found here: http://xdaforums.com/show...7&postcount=21

I don't have any (apparent) problems until I try and actually install the T00G1.14 rom. It does not detect when I copy the ZIP into internal storage, so I try and sideload it. I have no problems detecting device when using ADB normally, but in recovery it shows no devices connected when I use the "adb devices" command to check for it. Just to see I try and sideload the file anyway, but of course "error: device not found" is what I get.

What am I doing wrong? Why can't I find the device in recovery to sideload? I have ASUS and Intel drivers installed and have not had any problems using ADB up to this point.

Yes, I used the zip within the zip.

I attached a screenshot of device manager, I believe the drivers are as they should be. Thanks for your help!

I also attached a screenshot showing the device is detected from adb normally, but if I go into recovery it shows nothing under devices listed.

Hei guys, simple question. Since i saw that custom recovery has become available for zenfone 5, it

is possible to flash any firmware/rom on the unit? Twrp and cwm are both out!
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pacman44:
So guys, after playing a bit i kinda made it:

Using twrp i downgraded from 1.17 CUCC to 1.14 WW.

Everything is working as it should, except i cant update the firmware to

1.15, 1.16 or 1.17. Not with twrp or built in updater.

Twrp states that my phone its now TW, but its not. In "about-software-build it clearly states WW".

So its not all well but i least i have google play and the rest of services. Any hints are welcome!

Downgrade from CN 1.96 firmware

Hi guys, I'd like to downgrade my Zenfone 5 (T00F) to 1.14.40.50 firmware in order to flash the WW firmware, but I have a big problem I think: my firmware (CN) is:

ASUS_T00F_CN_user_1.96.40.50_20190731

Is it a standard version? In the web I've always found only number of version up to 1.17, while mine is 1.96! And also the date is strange, it seems to be 31/07/2019! How is it possible? Maybe a developer version. The phone arrived to me already rooted.

I have a problem with updating the Build WW.

Let me explain:

Previously I had the Build CUCC, after a downgrade with ADB sideload, I installed the 1.14.40.50 WW.

I tried to install updates but it gives me error

I have tried both using "update system" and also with ADB sideload.

I tried using TWRP tells me that the SKU is the TW.

I tried install with TWRP the 1.14.40.50 WW version, and install it! but when i tried to install 1.17 TWRP show me "error" and show "SKU TW" "OTA WW".

I also tried to rename the file from WW to TW, but nothing!

Cucc into internstional version

Hi my friend Im loosing my head trying to put international version with gapps into CUCC 1.17 version

I just tryied your instructions but I don't understand ...when I unzipped into ADB folder when makin ADB SIDELOAD wht file I have to push??

Thanks for helping.

QUOTE=dunnobutido;54733674]OMFG. What a nightmare. I got a CUCC version and fixed it! Was about to send to a customer and realised something was a miss. So i fixed it up quick smart!

Heres how to change it to WW.

1. Root it with Zenfoneroot.apk - Follow install instructions around XDA

2. Download this version from ASUS - ASUS ZenFone 6(T00G) software Image: V1.14.40.50 for WW SKU only*

3. Use winzip to extract to your ADB folder. With winzip press extract here and it will extract into the ADB folder

3. ADB sideload that *****. Go into recovery Volume up + Power to get into recovery modes, then volume down + volume up, hold volume up for 3 seconds. and then you will see ADB sideload. Press on that and get ready to go.

4.Type "Adb sideload (drop the file into the terminal, don't write this!)" and then press enter, make sure there is a space between sideload and your file name.

5. Let it install, it will install and then give you an error after saying "cannot load volume /misc!" ignore it, wipe cache and reset.

6. Profit!

Let me know of any issues. We sell this phone so i spent the day figuring out how to work around this as sometimes we get the CUCC version. Cannot have people buying that now can we!

wowmuchbuy DOT com is my site, show your love by saying thanks or you can contact me and i will help you through it. Also if people want to purchase that's another way of saying thanks! :victory:[/QUOTE]

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IvanR8:
For those who are using TWRP to downgrade to 1.14, try using CWM Recovery, adb sideload with WW 1.14, then flash again with android recovery using WW 1.14. After that then you can upgrade the rom to WW 1.15 > WW 1.16 > WW 1.17 like usual.

Can't update to 1.18

Hi,

I had a CN firmware 1.14 (even it says WW on build_number as it does not allow me to update to 1.17) and I "updated" it to the WW firmware just putting the OTA file on the internal memory.

Later, I updated to 1.17 using the OTA file again as "auto-update" says my phone was up to date.

Now, I want to update my phone to 1.18 and it says again it is updated. On Last Update it appears '01-01-1970'.

How can I solve it? Could the problem be on the first firmware I had on the phone?

[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
Off the target?

I'm about to get a CN Padfone5, and researching my options to get it to WW.

The guide here with downgrading to 1.14.40.50 is good, but sounds like a lot of work (=lots of things that may go wrong).

I have a simple idea of going into the latest WW ROM, open the updater script and change the check for "WW" to "CN":

assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW");

to

assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "CN");

Any reason why that wouldn't work?

Problem sideloading UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.40.18-user

I have latest(?) 4.3 ROM installed (1.18.something, which I successfully updated to, from 1.14.something using sideload) and am trying to update to UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.40.18-user. However, the update fails at the check for build version of currently installed ROM:

assert(getprop("ro.build.version.release") == "4.4.2");

Of course this fails, as I have 4.3 as ro.build.version.release - Which makse sense to me, as I come from a JellyBean ROM. Is there a 4.4 ROM released between 1.18 and 2.19 somewhere?

<edit> Yes, there is! I've missed the UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.40.6 version - Which isn't up at ASUS official firmware site. </edit>

<edit again> No dice. Even 2.19.40.6 has the check for 4.4.2 in its updater script. This is insane! I'll try editing build.prop to fake the build version. :( </edit>

<Final Edit> Actually, it's not enough to have 1.18.something - You must have version 1.18.40.10 installed, before you can upgrade to KitKat! I had 1.18.40.9.

For those struggling with OTA, there's a simple method to manually install it:

Download the firmware from Asus.

Open the zip file and extract the zip inside this. (like UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-1.18.40.10-user.zip)

Move the extracted ZIP to the /sdcard dir of the phone using adb or simply with Windows.

Disconnect USB, put phone in flight mode, reboot phone.

Once the phone has rebooted, there should be a notification that the phone has discovered a system update.

The rest I leave as an interesting exercise for the interested readre.
