[Zenfone 5 General] piku21:
Lollipop Beta for all [ WW TW CHT SKU] Zenfone 5

Lollipop 5.0 Beta version is leaked for all Zenfone 5 (WW/TW). But

due to not having a single compact .md5 file the flashing procedure is

bit complicated but I can assure you Its worth the time consuming effort.

I'm using this from yesterday on my zenfone 5 (asus_t00f) and its works

fine. Some minor problems I noticed but that not bother you (Like Not Improving Battery,Sound etc phone reboots sometimes automatically ) .

Here is the procedure

Download All these..

1.Build.prop file

2.Stock Recovery TW

3.Stock TW 2.21.40.44 Zip

4..Update Patch 1 for TW

5.Update Patch 2 for TW

6.Lollipop Update

Now its tome to root your device

To Setup ADB,Fastboot Drivers for Zenfone 5

Download

1.Intel Android x86 Device Bridge Driver

2.ADB Driver Installer

3.ADB and Fastboot Tools

Install them and extract ADB and Fastboot tools into a directory

and you will have adb , fastboot tools ready to be used.

To check the ADB Bridge..Right click within the ADB Fastboot tools folder by Holding Shift key -> Open Command Prompt and type

adb devices

Once You have Done the Setup Procedures

Download Based on your SKU

Copy the Downloaded build.prop file to your internal memory..

With the ESFile Explorer or Root Explorer Backup your original build.prob from /system by root explorer and copy the new build.prop from internal memory to /System and replace it

Don't Reboot immediately..Check the build.prop permission is in rw-r-r For this Select and Hold the file select Properties check ..if it not Set rw-r-r as given in the picture..Beware with ESFileExplorer it will not change the permission sometimes so Refresh the Window Thrice by using the Refresh button

Now we are going to flash the Files One-by-One by using adb sideload and Fastboot...

Now connect your phone to the pc

Makesure adb is working..

All your Downloaded zip files and recovery image to the directory where the adb.exe ,fastboot.exe is placed

This will flash TW SKU recovery

Select Recovery in the Bootloader after flashing

Press VOLUME DOWN + VOLUME UP ( IF YOU SEEN A CAUTION ANDROID LOGO)

our Recovery will be booted now..Select Apply Update from ADB

Now we Have to sideload the 2.21.40.44 TW Firmware

in your cmd type
