You have rooted your fone without turn off data (wifi and 3G/4G/LTE), that is why you see the demo. Data must be off, and after rooted must restart fone immediately. This root instruction was so clear about this problem, I do not know why you had not aware this problem. It can be solve, I leave it for you or sb else, just search and you will find it.

Once you rooted, go to root/system/app and delete asuslivedemo then no more demo.

OK, I go ahead and do the fix for Demo. BACKUP DATA. Internal Memory will be swapped. Disable demo is also factory reset.

step1. Power phone on -> tap the screen to go to Asus demo main page (screen say The new Padfone infinity blablabla ...)

step2. hold the back button key for more than 15 seconds (the very left of the 3 buttons at the bottom: back, home, recent apps) until the new box appears

step3. inside the box, input 741603 then confirm. then the fone restart to Asus manager ecommerce, should see several blue lines, make sure you see "DeActive". DONE!

Hi Mehrdadj.87, how did you successfully upgraded to 1.15.40.35 WW ROM? Can you teach me how? I still using 1.15.40.20 WW ROM since my Zenfone 5 is CN and I don't have an idea how to upgrade the 1.15.40.35 WW ROM successfully.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quyvinh:
downgrade first, then upgrade. 1.16 fw is out now. read post #29 for downgrade instruction
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokyu930:
I did the downgrade before, I am already downgraded from 1.15.40.35 to 1.15.40.20.

Did the downgraded ROM (1.15.40.20) able to upgrade 1.16.40.7?

Because I check the 1.16.40.7 ROM's script still have the value of SKU and I guess it will not work for me.

So you mean use the downgrade method and then upgrade to 1.16.40.7 ROM. How?

UPDATE: I was mistaken, I thought my phone still under CH version after I downgraded, I didn't check the droidboot. Now only I realize my device is now WW. So means I able to upgrade already. Sorry for my mistake :P

So should I upgrade the 1.16.40.7 WW ROM though adb sideload or just copy to internal storage upgrade?

Hi, I've already try it before, now it seems to be brick. The only way that I can turn on the phone could be if I install the version UL-ASUS_T00F-CN-1.16.40.7-user.zip but im waiting to do it, i dont know if i will be able to change it :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokyu930:
No, you can't. Since V1.15.40.35 ROM onward, ASUS is quite tricky to did some modifications to not allow user install ROM in different SKU. Even you want to rename the file to WW it still not work for you. The possible solution is to downgrade.

To downgrade, refer to this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54502628&postcount=29

After downgrade, install your WW ROM which is V1.15.40.35 below (Example: V1.15.40.20 and V1.14.40.50)

After you install, your phone SKU will change from CN to WW. Afterwards, you can upgrade with WW ROM when there a new Firmware available.

If still can't understand can tell me or quyvinh.

Hi, first of all I want to thanks you for the support.

I've followed that post and I Wasn't able to do the downgrade, consider that the phone is now brick and I need to install the only version that is possible for me (CN UL-ASUS_T00F-CN-1.16.40.7-user) to be a root user. Then, i will be able to do the downgrade or I will be with the same problem that you mentioned about the the ASUS modifications)?

So your phone was bricked. You install your CN UL-ASUS_T00F-CN-1.16.40.7-user ROM first through ADB sideload from recovery (if you know this). After install, then do your downgrade method.

SO YOUR PHONE IS SOFT-BRICK. Another question, DID YOU ENABLE USB DEBUG BEFORE SOFT-BRICK ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ziink53:
Yes, it was enable
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokyu930:
Yes, I was said that because some people that purchase Zenfone 5 from China or Taiwan if they directly update to the version which is V1.15.40.35 onward and then change to WW that will bring problem to them. (This is because the ROM don't let people to change SKU which the ROM was added the SKU filter in the script)

So they should be suggested to update ROM which is V1.15.40.20 below (those ROM are simple and still changeable SKU.

Last time I also encountered this problem when I update to V1.15.40.35 CH ROM (I bought Zenfone 5 which it's SKU is CN) so I can't change to WW. I keep searching the solution and I found that there got a solution. Thanks to [MENTION=1808003]quyvinh[/MENTION] for the solution, and I follow his post and I tried to downgrade. So the downgrade is successful. What he post that he use V1.14.40.50 ROM to downgrade it, but I not using that ROM. In reverse I use V1.15.40.20 ROM that also works for me. After downgrade it, I found out my Zenfone 5 SKU was changed from CN to WW. When the V1.16.40.7 is released, I just upgrade with V1.16.40.7 WW ROM. So far there is no problem for me.

Note: V1.15.40.20 ROM was deleted by ASUS in the website, I found it from another website. I suggest you use V1.14.40.50 ROM since it still available at ASUS website. (For Downgrade ROM)

I am not sure which Version of your ROM was bricked so ask you to try upgrade V1.16.40.7 CH first.

Hi, I upgraded very easy.

Forget the 1-15-40-35, download the latest ww ROM which is 1-16-40-7, extract the zip file one time , then copy the new zip file to your internal memory (without renaming or changing) then unplog your phone., you'll see upgrade notification, accept it.

If the notifications doesn't appear then try sideload ROM.zip method, good luck

Modified install-recovery.sh

pushed installed-recovery.sh and recovery-from-boot.p

I installed ASUS_T00F_WW_user_1.15.40.35_20140715_3835release keys

to see if this would fix issue with camera and mic ; but still not working

Do I need to modify system files to get the system to read correct phone version ?

after doing the adb shell , su , sh install-recovery.sh

No you can't use Zenfone 5 ROM. This cause seriously incompatibility on your Zenfone 6. That's why your Camera and Mid does not work.

Since you made a serious mistake, I not sure I can help you or not. Try use downgrade method. If can't, seek for others for help by post new topic or just send to warranty.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quyvinh:
1. Reboot to android.

2. You asked question that conflict yourself. Since you said you have done all steps till step 7, then how did you do step 5? Because step 5 and step 7 are have same procedure. I guess you are missing the driver. Check system device, MUST INSTALL BOTH driver, Intel and Asus.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kosifl:
Wait you confused me.I do all the steps before step 5 with the modifications and i open into droidboot mode and i execute the orders as you write:

1)fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img (look phone screen, should say successfully) ok with this

2)fastboot flash boot boot.img (look phone screen, should say successfully) also ok with this

but when i reboot my phone as you write,in the cmd i write adb shell and it says no adb devices.I tried this rebooting in droidboot mode and again the same thing also in recovery in apply from adb update i tried this order and still nothing.The drivers are all installed and the phone is reconized by the pc...win 7......because i tried 3 days ago via adb sideload to downgrade to other rom but i get the message ro.build.date.utc problem.Your way with thiw modding it was my only hope but still nothing.

I am hoping someone is willing to help me out and make a few bucks along the way....

I am looking for a ROMing pro as I have an Asus Zenfone 6 that one of my buddies who is still in the service sent me from China. Love the phone, but is has the CUCC/CN firmware (v.1.15) on it and I want to update it to the latest WW (International) firmware so I can use Google Play Store, etc. on it.

I am guessing I could probably figure this out following XDA, etc. but I do not want/have the time and figure one of you can do it with ease.

I will cover shipping both ways and am willing to pay for the service as well.

The end result should be a phone returned to me with the latest version of the Asus software (WW, I believe) that supports Google Services, etc.

If you are interested, please private message me, and we will work out payment, shipping, etc. (US only please).

but which software version should i downgrade to than? the links supplied are for the zenfone 5 so those are not good.

does any have the good links for the 6? i've looked for them but didn't find them (do I even need to downgrade? or is that only for the 6)

Not sure if this is the right place (did not find a specific ZTE tablet forum - but i guess all the chinese tablets are pretty much the same).

I recently got this device, It's pretty nice, not strong or anything (like the nexus 7 i initially wanted) but it was given to me for free.
