[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
It seems that survival mode is either not working or asus has changed the behavior of update hence you are facing such problem. So as of now you are still on 1.16 did the root survived or not?

I haven't rooted my zenfone 6 as yet as I am testing few thing unrooted maybe next month I will root it.

Try unrooting > then updating> then rooting again.

Let us know if that works or not.

There was a rumor that asus will be providing rooting app to its user not sure if they do it, but if they do that would be great.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Then check your airtel APN settings they might be deleted.

take the sim out for 5 min then restart & reinsert sim

it should automatically save new apn settings.

Hei ! Yeah I think survival mode is not working. I had followed some instructions regarding enabling xposed on my phone. Thats the error message that comes. I have removed xposed now. I am trying to update. If it fails I will post the screenshot of the error message.

It keeps showing something about fastboot . I unrooted and then i tried to install again but still failure.

Ok It has failed again. I have attached the error message screenshot. Let me know if you can figure out anything. ! Thanks a lot

in my case, i have to flash the full package the one that 600mb+, not the incremental upgrade version (ie 30+mb upgrade), to make it work

you right mate

Finally I did that and then it worked. Now am thinking whether I should install Xposed again and risk not being able to update OTA

both root procedures for zenfone 4.5--thru fastboot and root app are not working

with fastboot i get "unknown partition cannot determine image filename" error when i try fastboot flash rootzen450.zip in cmd (every step works before that perfectly)

and with root app 1.4.4r , rooting fails....I followed instructions exactly...turning on airplane mode. also phone fails to reboot automatically after 5 seconds as shown in the video and when i open app again...it shows root failed. after rebooting....live demo app clogs the system on every reboot.....got rid of it loading every time on reboot through demo mode deactivation .

can anyone else with zenfone 4.5 confirm whether root is working for them or not???

I can see files in system/app.....just can't modify them as we do when we are rooted
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
You need to reboot the phone manually just after 5 sec of demo mode, don't let it reboot automatically it will bring the demo mode.

Try again this time following word by word

7. How good or bad is the battery backup on zenfones?

Its quite good battery back of 15-17 hrs mix usage. I have used even upto 30 hrs backup. When you receive the phone new charge the battery to 100% before using for the first time then let it discharge to 2-5% & then charge again to 100%

New phones will have battery drain issues but with couple of charges and applying all system update, battery backup will improve dramatically.With average usage battery should last 15 - 17 hours. Battery drain more during 3g usage , camera and heavily while gaming (heavy games) or with background services.​

on poin 7, is it for all zenfone series?

thx :D
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Yes but the battery backup will vary since each phone has different capacity battery.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] black_mamba99:
got it to work on 4.5

but when i want to update the fw and check using system update,. there's no fw update there

what i need to do to update fw z5 to 1.18??

dont know it's effect or not,. my country is indonesia, i check regulatory information on my zen5

thanks before, and sorry for my bad english :)
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Go to Settings> Apps>All Apps> dmclient

> force stop> clear data > clear cache > restart your mobile

Then try system update from settings > about>system update

If the above procedure doesn't work,

take data backup & do a factory reset (erase data option checked) and try system update.

If both these method fails then only option left is full fw installation which is 678mb. Try the above method & report back.
[Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archemist:

is this methode need to root and install CWM recovery on my z5??

coz since i buyed (2 weeks ago) till now, i'm never root it.

if really need root and instal recovery,. any recomend recovery i must install??

just finish downloading the file 'UL_ASUS_T00F_WW_1_18_40_9' form asus site (http : //www .asus. com/id/support/Download/39/1/0/2/32/).

it can instal trough phone internal (copy file to internal storage then instal it) or need to flash it throug recovery??

How to update zenfone firmware manually using the phone?

follow this detailed procedure to root your phone, Recovery is already installed on your phone so you dont need it

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54526998&postcount=5

Follow this method to update manually

*important * Make sure you have 50% battery before running firmware updates

2. By default it will download into the "Download" folder. Tap on it to unzip/extract. It will create UL_Asus folder and unzip inside it. You will see a file by the "UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-1.18.40.9-user.zip"inside the folder. NOTE the word "user" to avoid confusion.

3. Select the unzipped file " UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-1.18.40.9-user.zip" inside the UL_Asus folder and using File manager cut and paste the file outside all folders seen in the file manager i. e directly into the root of the internal storage folder.

4. Switch off Wi-Fi and 3g and you will get an update notification. If you do not get update notification then toggle the airplane mode or restart the phone then update will be detected.

5. Update. This process will not wipe any data from your phone.

After updating delete the downloaded update files.

Hope this helps.

Firmware update for A450CG

Asus gave a firmware update V4.2.3 for Zenfone A450CG in the first week of september. But it has a bug that results in malfunctioning of auto rotation feature while playing some motion based games. I haven't updated myself but heard by some users on facebook. If that's the case how to resolve the issue if I tend to face the problem after updating, or shall I wait for next firmware update and skip this one. Help me out guyz..

You have 2 option either to wait for next update (assuming users reported to asus)

or

flash the older version FULL rom (500-600mb) from asus website

I normally don't update immediately without getting user feedback from others, if everything is better then I update after 4-7 days.
