Just unbricked in XFSTK , flashed raw .13 updated with UL .184 stock to use official unlock, then sideloaded new MM

wow,
[ZenFone 2 General] Dan_Jacques:
Whats the correct procedure to flash it?
[ZenFone 2 General] timbernot:
Usually unroot, flash back stock recovery and sideload cmd in stock recovery >

MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip

Putting zip in adb fastboot folder first

Before I update, is there a to gain root for 6.0?
[ZenFone 2 General] MrKoji:
Same thing I asked myself whether I should upgrade to 6.0..

But I wanted to save myself the trouble of bugs or any inconvenience it might cause so I wont be upgrading since Lollipop is doing good anyways.

But I do hope someone can shed light on me if there's a big gain that i'll miss.

[ZenFone 2 General] AaronICK:
According to an admin of a facebook group I joined, for all beta marshmamallow users, all you need to do is to update via ADB sideload in recovery mode.

[ZenFone 2 General] AaronICK:
Additional info on how to manual update:

After downloading the files, rename the firmware to:

ZE550ML = UL-Z008-WW-4.21.40.112-user.zip

ZE551ML = UL-Z00A-WW-4.21.40.134-user.zip

The files that you download uses UNDERSCORE symbol instead of a HYPHEN. Then proceed with transfering the file to internal storage. Then wait for a notification from your phone of an update.

---------- Post added at 07:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 AM ----------

You need to install the bridge update (2.20.40.194) before you can update to marshmallow. So update to 2.20.40.194 first.

I don't know what are you doing with your phones...

I downgrade from beta MM 61 to LP 184 -> sideload MM 134 -> clear data/cache -> bootup and check if it works well -> reboot to bootloader make "fastboot boot twrp.img" -> backup clean MM 134 -> root it. Thats it.

Now I've fully working official MM 134 + root.

Dont update via official recovery if u have old version of firmware - thats the TIP - if u got stock firmware just do it through internal storage.

if u have CM13 or sth like that - install RAW with lolipop first imo.

UNROOT BEFORE UPDATE

i updated from last Android M beta to official android M throught ota (ze550ml)

[ZenFone 2 General] tomsag:
Everything is a little unclear, so for the sake of ma (and perhaps others), while on STOCK non rooted ROM, should we

download and RENAME to MOFD_SDUPDATE.ZIP and put it on SD card (as with all prevoius upgrades), or do something else?

Also, does the transition to MM wipe everything and all will be reset as buying a new phone?

How about multi user & snap view?

[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:
Just make sure you are updated to 194 first.

It shouldn't wipe your stuff, but it's always best practice to do a backup before hand.

[ZenFone 2 General] kunal_chawla_:
Here's my small review of the Marshmallow ROM (after approx. one day use) for anyone who is interested to try out this ROM -

PROS -

1) Excellent Battery Life - I got only 1% drain with WiFi on for about an hour that I was asleep (and I believe my device went into Doze mode at that time).

2) Reduced Bloatware - As promised (and also as seen in the Beta OTA updates), Asus removed most of its useless bloatware from the device, saving significant storage.

CONS -

1) Slow (even in Performance Mode) -

> Connecting to WiFi network takes about 10 seconds, whereas this used to happen in about 2 seconds on Lollipop. Also

> The quick settings panel is very laggy now. It stutters when toggling WiFi and other quick settings.

> When unlocking the screen, it seemed like my device was running very very slow. It took about a full 2 seconds to unlock (even though I did a clean install with complete flashing and everything).

Though I was too excited for the official Marshmallow update, I will be going back to CM13 for its plain Android and its good performance (battery life on MM Official will be missed though).
[ZenFone 2 General] kenbo111:

Updated successfully

Updated successfully from a stocked .194 to android M, without losing any data/apps. Followed these steps:

1. Downloaded from official asus site the M release

2. Moved the downloaded package into root folder, internal storage (keep in mind, if the file it's downloaded into download folder, the system wont see that there's an update available)

3. Renamed the file using the "." format, and not the "_" one.

4. Reboot.

After restart, the system should tell you that there's an update ready to be installed.

Almost exactly what I did. I was on stock, fully updated, not rooted. Downloaded the file on my PC, dropped it into the root storage of my phone (did not change the name of the file), told it to do the update once it detected it, no problems so far. My ZE551ML shows that it is on 6.0.1.

It sort of ticked me off that it reset almost all of my preferences back to default but I survived it.

At least I am thankful for Asus that they have decided to remove a big chunk of bloat. Here I need to say that they did a good thing after all the disaster. But I can also imagine that the support of this phone pretty much ends here officially (that's why they might have removed so many Asus apps). Either way, I'll play around with that phone a bit again after quite some time.
