[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
For some reason, the phone is trying to install a TW firmware on a phone that's not TW.

It can't and shouldn't be done.

Manually flash the correct firmware (CN or WW) for your phone.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent_owl:
You mean with adb sideload method, right?

But how should I know my SKU Device? (Now I'm sure it's not TW:good:)

So I have to flash it with WW ROM, not TW:confused::D
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
I usually just download from the ASUS site (http://support.asus.com/download.as...ne 5&p=39&s=1&os=32&hashedid=96nqlxHp1VKV4Rdz) , put the rom zip in /sdcard and reboot. Then the phone finds the update and starts installing.

What SKU you have is impossible to tell with the info at hand, but unless you're in China, WW is a good guess.

Go to Settings ->About -> Program info -> Version - There you'll see something along the lines of ASUS_T00F_WW_user_.... - That's the clue to what SKU you got.

As a matter of fact, I see a new fresh version (WW_2.21.40.44) from 0204 - Time to update!
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent_owl:
As you can see from my attachment, it say TW, but you say..

Is it possible that "Software Information" could be wrong??:confused::D
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
Looks like you are on the latest TW ROM version already. However, there could be something fishy with build.prop - I think that's where the install script looks for SKU. Possibly, it's a TW phone made to appear like a WW?

If I was you, I'd start over using the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54451457&postcount=21
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent_owl:
Probably, I also think that way. Thanks for directing me to the right place. Have to bookmark it:good:

But how should I follow the step with my un-Rooted device, I have try all method I found to root my device, still no luck. Maybe because my "weird SKU" problem
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZilverZurfarn:
I'm really not sure how you should go about rooting your device, since it's unclear what SKU your phone really is. My only advice would be to Google "root zenfone 5" and see what comes to the surface. Luckily, I had no problem rooting my phone (came with 1.17.something IIRC) so I haven't investigated further.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent_owl:
I found few people with same problem with me ,Zenfone 5 and 6, missing SKU. Everyone has same problem with rooting. Well...maybe if I flash it with Asus Flash Tool using raw firmware, the problem will be solved. But I need to search for some review or testimony first.:D
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madthinker:
have you had flash fastboot.img and recovery.img of the firmware which would you install?

flash fw via adb sideload

you need:

-Driver asus/intel

-Platform Tools

-Recovery, fastboot from international tom (WW), you can extract from firmware you've downloaded, only recovery.img and fastboot.img

-International rom

first, reboot into droidboot/fastboot

in the platform tools folder, shift+right click, open comand window from here

1. flash fasboot, type: fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img

2. flash recovery, type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. reboot to fastboot again

4. go to recovery, press down vol+vol up then release vol up

5. adb sideload fw, type: adb sideload x.zip x= name of your firmware

You can't update via OTA in the future

DO IT WITH YOUR OWN RISK

sorry my english not very well
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silent_owl:
Nope, still no luck. Not working..
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decatz:
what part you fail at ?

i assume you have adb and driver sorted ?

anyway this is my mini guide (able to fix bricked phone as long u can go into droidboot - must know basic dos command

if the latest ww firmware dont work - try using 1.14.40.50 ww make sure phone working fine - then redo with the latest firmware to update the phone

- Download ADB and Fastboot (install at c:\adb for easy access )

- Download and install the Windows zenfone 5 driver

- Download firmware from Asus site for WW ( extract this zip file to get fastboot.img, boot.img and copy these to your ADB Fastboot folder )

- Rename the WWzip into "rom.zip" and move it to your ADB Fastboot folder (for easy typing in cmd)

- Turn Off your phone - connect to pc with usb cable

- Hold vol up and then press power On button of your phone - Keep holding both buttons, it should went into Droidboot screen.

- Open command prompt (cmd) and go to your ADB Fastboot folder (e.g. cd C:\adb)

- Type the following 2 lines: "fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img" and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" (look phone screen, should say successfully done for both)

- Scroll down(use volume keys) to recovery and select it(use power key) and your phone will reboot

- now that you are in recovery(you can see a droid symbol lying down with red triangle over its stomach)

- Hold Vol Down and press Vol up (menu should appear)

- Choose "Apply update from adb"

- From cmd above type "adb sideload rom.zip"

- Wipe cache/dat and reboot

Fail between this step

- From cmd above type "adb sideload rom.zip"

TW and WW 1.14.40.50 isn't work. I flash everything I can flash, boot, fastboot, recovery, and still not work. Maybe I need to tell you this, I am able update from TW-2.21.40.30 to TW-2.21.40.44 using full ROM of TW-2.21.40.44.zip with adb sideload method, and it's work.

or maybe I need to wait for Lolipop update, and hopefully there is new method of rooting without involving a computer, like Jellybean ..:D

hello everyone. I write from Italy: D ... and sorry for my bad english, i hope everyone can understand all

I bought the phone in china, but they have installed over the original sku, .. the version ww ..

I we say that i have a fake ww .

my build number was: ASUS_T00F_WW_user_2.21.40.30.20141208_43 release keys

I wrote that I have the Chinese version, because I found a mistake.

I updated the program CLEANMASTER, and when I opened the program told me disinstall the Chinese version of the same program.

In fact I had two CLEANMASTER installed

i try to downgrade to change sku, but

but now my phone will not charge more than the system Android. remains stationary at the first screen that says "powered by Android"

how can I do? What did I do wrong? I can recover it?

PS: I followed the guides online where they said to download files 1.14.40.50.WW cn and then 1.14.40.50.WW, and tried to install via adb

I found out later that I had to turn off the data and put into airplane mode

so I made before a wipe cache partition (with error "can't open /tmp/update-script.log")

and a wipe data /factory reset, where I selected "yes, delete all user data"

after i reboot in droidbox and i selected a factory reset.... and now looks dead.

the computer does not detect it.

Droidbox mode, and the phone connected to the PC, opening adb, the phone is detected and I can do the flash boot and fastboot

I can also send files in adb sideload

In droidbox the product is CN_A500CG .. but .before it was written only "Zenfone"

Hello everybody...

I have an A500KL Zenfone 5 and I want to change the SKU from CN to WW (following steps in post #21).

I've downloaded the required firmwares from Asus website but there's no "fastboot.img" in the zip image (see attachment). I've tried downloading all the firmwares and none of them seems to have a "fastboot.img" file.

What should I do? Should I just ignore flashing the fastboot.img and follow the steps by flashing boot.img?

The next flagship phones like LG G3 and Galaxy S5 have already launched or are launching soon in some countries with no word on the next Nexus line. I don't like relatively large phones but still find myself looking at this.

[Networking] marclouis:
you should have your router set to mixed mode. it will not effect the performance with the laptop. firewall will not effect, as long as the relevent ports are not blocked, which they wont be as default. make sure you are not using mac filtering, unless you add the mac address of the router. again this is off by default. although when you get comfortable, mac address filtering + WEP make a good security system. hiding the network ID and giving it an unusual name is best, but a bugger to set up.

strip the system down to bare essentials, then get your device connected, and start adding back. that standard network diagnosis.
