Have you saved the extracted files in a folder on desktop? For example, I created a new folder on my desktop named Max and extracted the zip file inside that folder. So I see Max -> 334 Aft folder on my desktop.

Yes, you can flash stock rom through TWRP recovery. That way, ur bootloader will remain unlocked. But you may loose TWRP recovery if u update the rom later on.

Yeah don't flash .247 fastboot firmware.

Use any latest firmware like .340 or nearby that.

Steps are same as any fastboot firmware flashing only thing is don't get panicked if you don't get the "fastboot screen" ( instead you will see a blank screen or a blinking screen when u boot to fastboot mode via hardware keys combination)

If you are not unlocked offically, then you can get OTA with any of the firmwares.

Download any one and follow the procedure as is.

NOTE : the extracted folder should not have spaces. So rename the folders accordingly.

2. What if someone doesn't want to relock their bootloader? If I edit the script and remove the code to relock bootloader? Has anybody tried?

Before this noob grows old and dies searching through forums, could someone point me to instructions to do this on linux? Like an idiot, I did the unlock through Asus and tried to install a new rom before upgrading the firmware.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] amogha*:
1) First install fastboot and adb through your package manager if you are in Ubuntu "sudo apt install fastboot" , "sudo apt install adb"

2) download the stock fastboot firmware in the op (you don't need drivers those are for Windows )

3) extract the downloaded zip and open a terminal in that directory

4) reboot the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to the pc via usb

5) check if the device is recognised by typing "sudo fastboot devices"

6) then run the shell script flash_all.sh by typing "sudo ./flash_all.sh"

And you don't need to enter "sudo" if you configure udev rules but if you don't know what it means then just follow the steps.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] hognoodle:

Try flashing 340 ROM with stock recovery. If it gives update error try flashing with twrp. I personally done this way and it worked, it showed system update. Make sure to flash stock recovery before OTA update.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] vitorsubs:
Where can I find a flashable 340 ROM? Where can I find stock recovery to flash?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
Surprisingly, using the search function on XDA can give you a lot of answers including link to v340 (stock as well as TWRP flashable builds). Asus website also has firmware downloads. Stock recovery is part of stock ROM. Flashing it will automatically flash stock recovery.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Shreyastd:
Here is a detailed step - Flash the given fastboot firmware, Download 340 ota update zip file(See this Thread's first post by avinash, this line "Updates : Latest Update (Optional for all mandatory only if you have UNLOCKED officially)" Click the link in that line. You'll be redirected to asus website. Now under bios and firmware click "see all downloads". Than you'll find this version "Version WW-15.2016.1902.340" Download it place it in sdcard (Make sure you insert sdcard to your mobile ;) ). Go to recovery, look for the word external (cuz i don't remember that full line). select it, select your package and boom your update starts. Just in case if you flashed twrp or whatever, if you need stock recovery, you'll find it in fastboot rom that you've donwloaded from this post (file name - recovery.img, Flashing command in fastboot is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"). Now you will get official ota update. 340 is the last version of oreo, on next update you'll find pie(1.5 gb).

This is the detailed step right?

---------- Post added at 05:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 AM ----------

Yes Stock recovery is a part of stock ROM but When i tried to flash 340 rom from twrp, it only encrypted but did not replace twrp. I don't know why it happened like that?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
Depends on the build you are using. Stock ROMs are modified to flash only system.img in certain cases hence recovery is not overwritten. You are using modified ROM since it is being flashed by TWRP. Flash unmodified stock ROM through fastboot or flash stock recovery img through fastboot if your system is already stock. (If you are coming from custom ROM then instructions are bit different, follow Avinash's detailed guide. )
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Shreyastd:
yes yes your right, i don't know why i forgot this, but i modified the "updated-script" file. you know pie updates has version check on updater-script,so i remove that line. maybe cuz of that it did not replace the recovery. your right.

After restore the torch quick setting in notification panel is greyed out ...... help!!!
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Shreyastd:
Drag the notification bar down tap pencil icon, on top right tap 3 dots and tap reset. If that doesn't work than try factory reset.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] vitorsubs:
I did all that, but still got no OTA. That is why I asked such obvious questions. I thought that maybe there was a catch on the process.

I installed 334 from the link in this thread (fastboot) and manually updated to 340 downloading the files from Asus website. Still no OTA.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Shreyastd:
Manually updated means from stock recovery right? Try factory reset after 340 ROM update. And you've not even touched official unlock tool right? Anyway If everything fails you may want to try flashing qfil ROM but it will erase everything IMEI and sn number full modem settings everything. Careful if you wanna do that.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Tianhe:
Just in case, check region specific variants. WW is global SKU, I am not sure if it's something different for you
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] Shreyastd:
Also check your serial number if it is accurate or not. If serial number is messed up than so is the OTA update.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] vitorsubs:
No. I downloaded the firmware from Asus website, placed it on internal memory, rebooted the phone and updated it from the notification.

I don't really understand what qfil is used for and what erasing everything means. I will check it later and maybe try it out. Gotta check the qfil thread to understand it.

Thank you.

Hey guys help me with this.

1) I unlocked my bootloader to install TWRP but when I booted in recovery I ended up in stock recovery (don't know how).

Let it be .........

2) I rebooted and ended up with a black screen. Device is working because I can here call ringtone.

Device is in initial stage where you have to login with a google account, so I can't turn on USB debugging. Even force reboot is not working (long pressing power button)

How can I flash the stock rom? Is it necessary that the rom should be the initial one i.e. oreo build or can it be the recent one?

Hello,

I rolled backed to Oreo using method provided by YouTube by i4Unbox. There I downloaded the fastboot rom of .316 hosted on a Google drive. Then through official .340 full I updated to .340

My questions are:

1. Does flashing the official version of .340 full rom, replace everything from the previous rom or are there somethings that can remain? for example if a malicious code was present in the unofficial .316 fastboot rom ?

2. I'm not receiving OTA for pie update? What could be the reason behind this? I have tried force stopping and starting fota again.

I have never unlocked my bootloader either officially or unofficially. Aka no tinkering has been done to the device before this.

Return to stock without re-locking the bootloader

Unfortunately I locked the bootloader officially. So if I want to update the phone i will have to return to stock and then do a manual update to the latest ROM. But I do not want to get the bootloader locked while returning to stock as it will reset my phone. Is there any way that I can change the updater script so that the bootloader doesn't get re-locked but otherwise the phone is returned to stock?
