We won't know when would Asus *actually* release the official MM update for our device. Their target is until the end of Q2, right?

Anything could happen and we couldn't predict it.

Hi Guys, I'm also on this beta version, so far haven't noticed any major bugs but I have noticed a slight lag in general use like when unlocking screen and on chrome. Anyway I was wondering when do you guys think we'll be able to root this beta version? Thanks in advance
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Basically, when someone figures out how to do it. There's no way to tell.

After install this beta MM all sensors not work ...various bugs ...i wipe cache and full wipe 3x and no fix
[ZenFone 2 General] eudigorodrigo:
beta is not a final version. Beta is just for testers, to find issues and bugs and report to asus. Then, it is normal. This bug is present on this version, you won't fix it just wiping cache or anything else.
[ZenFone 2 General] jdubbs13:
Loving the beta, minus the root of course, only bug I've noticed is listening to music on bluetooth in the car. If you open up an app the music starts to stutter. Other then that, looking forward to see development in the future.

Whr is the link for ZE550ML??
[ZenFone 2 General] ultramag69:
Its for the beta testers... Wasn't the official release, though Asus had it posted as such, and links have been taken down.

As for the ZE550ML, you're lucky they have taken it down as there was a lot of that version bricked...

MM also seems to relock the bootloader , though this may be just for the beta as anyone who unlocked their bootloader has already been put on the "warranty void" list, if you used the official tool that is...
[ZenFone 2 General] nmbayu:
I use this beta firmware since 13 of june 2016 for my ZE551ML 2/16, my phone become more fast, smooth, no any overheating problem, and I can't find any bug until now, I love this firmware make my phone more stable than lolipop firmware :D
[ZenFone 2 General] kamyk70:
I'm the lucky one, just like you...
[ZenFone 2 General] Flynhx:
My experience on MM Beta isn't that great from the other users posted before, well great new permission system, some new settings apps like ram manager, better performance(in terms of playing games, most that i am playing boost a lot that i don't have to set power saver to performance mode), though ui and sensors are buggy.

In my 5 days usage of running MM Beta, something seems to be missing,

The freedom of Root and the customization of Xposed!

At that moment i decided to revert back to Lollipop, so for now will have to wait for Final release and of course Root privileges before upgrading to MM. :)
[ZenFone 2 General] lu89:
And i'm the third! :p:p:p

MM beta, nova launcher and i fly like an eagle

According to this user on the Asus Zentalk forums, he got an official MM update.

Zenfone 2 with MM

Hi, someone with this Beta MM release can confirms:

1)Asus Cover is now compatible with GMail and SMS app?

Because they will remove Asus' app with the update but, at least, they have to add the support for Google's app...

If now, with 5.0.1, I use GMail and SMS app, ASUS COVER doesn't work. The counters are not working.:rolleyes:

2) I am now with 5.0.1 and ZenUI 3.0_beta if ASUS release MM as public: Will there problem updating 3.0_beta to 2.0? :confused:

3) Is there the support for the others ASUS apps? I read that on Asus Zenfone 2 Laser 6.0 ASUS BACKUP is not working.

Thanks in advice,

Sorry for my English :p , I am Italian and I will improve my English skills.

Alex.

Downloading it now. Can I install it by placing it in the root of my internal storage and installing from there? I had to do that with my last 2 updates. I was still on

.76.
[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
What worked for me: rename the zip file to UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.61-user.zip then move it to the internal storage root. An update notification should pop up in your phone status bar, otherwise try rebooting the phone.

WARNING: that beta 6.0.1 did NOT work on many phones, with results ranging from bricked phones to malfunctioning ones.

I'm one of the lucky few, my Z00AD still works perfectly (or vey close to perfect, anyway) with that beta, but for many others it was a disaster.

Just so you know...
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
Thanks xpen.xda.
[ZenFone 2 General] nicopi:
Are you on the latest lollipop firmware?
[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
Yes I am. I did the last 2 updates manually to get there.
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
I have installed the beta at least four times now on my Z008 without any major problem. Always over a fresh non-rooted install of the last lollipop firmware, always via recovery (renamed MOFD_SDUPDATE on external SD). I have found that it works better if you wipe system, user data and cache after updating and then flash it again for a completely clean install (I posted instructions on another thread). Since doing that, I can't say as I have noticed any bugs, and also have none of the UI stutters that I had after just updating. Sensors, battery life, connectivity, performance - all fine! I feel this is now the best my phone has been since I bought it when it first released. Should get another year out of it on M, no problem. Putting a UHS SD card in it and formatting it as adoptable storage also helps give the phone a new lease of life with a storage boost.
[ZenFone 2 General] ponhei9502:
Not sure what exactly you mean. But if you're wondering how I installed it, this is how.

Make sure you're unrooted, busybox isn't installed, and everything is stock. Including recovery. Then put the update file in the root of your internal storage (sdcard). Should get a notification to install an update after rebooting your phone.

[ZenFone 2 General] quicksilver53:
I had to download 2 other firmware version and install those in succession before I could install the beta MM. I was on .176 and then I installed.183 and then

.184 before moving on to MM beta. When you put it in the root of your phone, make sure it is not in a folder, such as downloads. Should work fine. It did for me.
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
On l.p. 184 z00a version I put back stock recovery.

I renamed the MM version to >

UL-Z00A-WW-bla bla bla .61 and put it on internal memory(putting UL at the beginning ) .

Reboot and get system update notification

Tip 1 , do not log in to Google account during set up ;) skip this bit .

Disable the junk apps first ...u get the option to uninstall a good few ..saves time later before they are updated ;)

This is v clean and fast after .

Just to note too , that battery is great on 6 ..yesterday I never went near my phone for nearly 3 hrs after taken off charge ...it was still on 100% .Wow amazing

Hi guys, after trying to update with MOFD_SDCARD method (I'm a beta tester, I've rolled back to lp) my phone, during the update shutted down (it was connected to the charger) and now my zenfone 2 (ze551ml) doesn't turn on anymore. Pc doesn't recognize it, with IntelSocDrivers installed too. Can I do something? (The screen is completely blank, no vibrations, no backlight.)

[ZenFone 2 General] sharpt71:
Don't know if this will help?

What I did was to make sure NO USB connection between PC and the phone. Long press power (+ vol up) [I did both, but I don't recall which one worked].

Boot into fastboot and format data/system/cache. Then, go to recovery (I assume you have stock recovery), it will update correctly.
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Yup, try (vol -) too -- do a few combinations -- then leave connected to pc , takes a while but eventually it will recycle thru to the two buzzes ;)

Then unbrick via unbricking methods

[ZenFone 2 General] gilleshander:
Hi,

Where did you get the update for Z008 ? Thnks
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:

Carefully install the beta update (also wiping data).

This way, you won't care when the official MM will be released. It's an awesome build.
[ZenFone 2 General] kidnova:
If it were my phone I'd probably go that route, but since it's my wife's I try to keep it simple. The ASUS forums claim that it could be released this week, so I'll be patient for now.

I have my ze551ml back to life. The pc, after intel isoc driver install, recognized the device as moorefield, but with blank screen and no vibrations. So I've followed the guide named "How to unbrick soft/hard bricked Zenfone 2" (which ASUS consider them valid, wtf, cuz i've talked with them) and my phone now boots only in fastboot mode. No recovery or other, only bootloader. So, tomorrow, i'll flash the lollipop raw and i'll wait another OTA. P.s. I'm not a beta tester, but I've recieved the ota. I cannot capture a screenshot cuz my phone turned off. It was about 1176.92MB, ver 4.21.xx.xx.

No, my phone was completely died. Like if you detach the battery and you are tryin' to turn on them LOL

Search on XDA "How to unbrick soft/hard bricked Zenfone 2", it'll show a guide for how to repair your zen2. ;) My zen2 (ze551ml, the guide is also applicable to ze550ml) is now back to life, cuz I've bought this phone 1-2 weeks ago, and bricking them in this short lifetime is a record LOL

Asus France... huh.

Pardon my skepticism, but... I don't know, seems fishy. Why was this publicized only on France, of all places? You'd think something like this that is generating a lot chatter and anticipation on the community would be more widely publicized by Asus.

Even if it's true, it's says the "update will be activated", which I guess means they'll start "rolling out the update" by the end of the week - this is usually done in phases, so I guess most people around the world won't get the update until late July, at the very least.

Of course, I hope I'm wrong and they deliver it on time, but I'm not holding my breath over it - I've been far too burned by almost all Android vendors in the past, they're just not reliable.

Thanks for the link, btw.

Guys, or I'm a lucky boy, or I don't know. After tryin to update my ze551ml and somehow droidboot was deleted, I've downloaded the lastest .184 zip from asus, renamed MOFD_SDUPDATE and then put them in my sdcard (since adb in recovery, with sideload doesn't transfer the system zip file into my phone, and it was crashing my pc). Then booted my phone up, it went automatically in recovery. Then the Update starts. After 10mins, the phone booted up with .184 version. OMG.

Hi, unfortunately yes

A few days ago ASUS published on their ZenTalk forum a change of wording about the MM release

They replaced "during Q2" with "starting in Q2" - or something to that effect, can't recall the exact words - thus there's no longer an official deadline now.

That means nothing of course, but still it doesn't sound good...

[ZenFone 2 General] Maroc1:
guys i remove root from my ZF2 that will open the door to me have update or need to do it manually.
[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
In general you better unroot (and uninstall extras like the xposed framework) before updating or you will most likely face a bootloop.

There it was only one root method (method 3 IIRC) said to be update-safe, no guarantees though.

Then it depends on the specific situation of your phone, either it sees the OTA updates or you need to update manually.
[ZenFone 2 General] C-Ph87:
What makes me feel better is that a beta user posted a comment in a Zentalk thread (cant remember what thread) that the Beta program has already found and reported 147 bugs that Asus has ack.

Sure it can be a lie but gave me hope that our first MM build will be several times better than that i received from Motorola in my old Moto X2nd.
[ZenFone 2 General] xpen.xda:
Yeah, I've read that as well. Been scratching my head over that, for I couldn't find more than maybe 3 potential bugs in this beta, and I've been using it 24/7 for over two weeks now.. [emoji2]
[ZenFone 2 General] pecholino:
I've got a feeling that ASUS wants this update to be "perfect" and they are taking their time finishing it.

I also believe that they leaked the beta on purpose sp they get more feedback and to cool off customers in the dev comunity.

So far I like their approach. I mean, they could have easily released this beta as an official update, respecting their deadline. Instead they are improving it even more (I hope).
[ZenFone 2 General] kanagawaben:
This is true. This beta seems to be in a lot better state than many of the early official firmware builds of Lollipop on our zenphones. They could easily have just released it officially and dealt with bugs later as they were reported.
[ZenFone 2 General] Rodepo:
Yes, method 3 was update-safe, but only for Lollipop updates! This doesn't apply to the MM update of course. So un-rooting is mandatory this time. No exceptions.
