[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
NOTE : Please use handle AVinaSh_S to do have me mentioned :)

I will test and update the procedure .. I suspect that format of /system partition is needed to update from Oreo to Pie while keeping data. We will have tested procedure on my threads, no issue.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] lanisshrup:
Oo thanks a lot, AVinaSh_S :)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
Model number does not matter .. so skipped.

WW is for Asus M1 so that is redundant.

Build date is skipped to be experimental about downgrade and upgarades without reflashing via Fastboot rom.

Main reason, Users here come with unlocked bootloader from any version. First OTA after unlocking the bootloadere will fail due to these condition so it is better to have the generic file.

I had plans for a modifications like debloating and optimizing the kernel but..

an efficient way to debloat is already done via a MOD

Kernel does not give the dt2w and I am not having that much time to work on it extensively

So for now the thread is a convinient way for users to visit here and get the OTA update .. advance users can create their own file and proceed with the update.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] bhishmar:
Can the OP or any expert here pls answer this.

If we do a factory reset, on ZB601KL device, what will be its final state?

Configuration before Factory reset:-

1. Stock firmware ver 311

(updated either thru OP's method, or via OTA from phone menu: System >> About >> System Update)

2. Unlocked thru Unofficial method (Sudeep Duhoon).

3. Recovery-ROM is TWRP

4. Rooted thru Magisk

What will be its final confiuration, after the factory-reset, in each of above 4 aspects?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] KaizoKage:
Thanks

thank you so much, I came from the other post and I did this and I recovered my google play and other stuff that I accidentally deleted :D
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
Glat to have helped :)
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
If you do a factory reset then it will reset the phone and not restore the phone in all cases mentioned above.

So to elaborate this point -

Restore

will mean that it will be as if it was taken out of the Box for first time.

Internal storage will be empty.

App list will be default apps.

No TWRP and Root access.

Reset (which you want to explore here)

meaning all app list and setting will revert to original state.

Media in internal storage will be preserved.

App list contain all default apps excluding the default apps you might have deleted using Root access (like messenger or launcher etc). This means Magisk Manager App will be lost but Root access will be present and you can reinstall just the app and good to go.

TWRP will not be removed and Root access will remain as mentioned above.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] bhishmar:
factory reset with TWRP & Root Access & Decrypt

Thanks Avinash for the quick reply. Did not follow 100% your elaboration, but got the general drift.

Just to be sure, pls confirm after a factory-reset, in the above condition.

1. Ver-311 software is retained.

2. Unlocked bootloader state is retained.

3. Recovery-image TWRP is retained.

4. Root Access is retained. (w/o Mgr-App)

5. All Files in external storage (ext-sdcard) are retained.

6. Apps list will revert to original factory-list (except those removed by root-access)

7. All App settings will revert to original-factory state.

8. All files in "data" partition is wiped clean. !! Is this the 'internal storage" ?

I think I have confusion only in last point #8.

Also if previously decrypted, will that also be retained?

What is diff btw userdata & data partitions?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
1 to 7 --> YES

8 --> Internal storage will not be formatted. Only application folders might get deleted like whatsapp folder.

Not aware of any /userdata partition.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
Not possible for me atleast .. I prefer full ROM to skip the task of making selective backups of system partitions. It requires more data but flashing is way simpler.

Thank you :)

The new update is big (400+ MB) so expecting it to impact a lot of partitions. Waiting for full ROM which Asus might release by tomorrow.

Then I will check if it keeps TWRP and Magisk intact without any issues ( for atleast 6 hrs.) and then release it.

[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:

Does it mean Everytime I will lose user app data if I follow this process? Contacts, messages, WhatsApp chat etc. Will be formatted? Any other way to update keeping all the data?

Also, gcam and arcore zips have been flashed in my rom. It won't cause a problem, right?
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
If you follow Rom - decrypt - Magisk every time a new update appears then NO :) Just follow steps in OP as is.

The whole point is to get update without settings up the device again .. it is a dirty flash( no wipe of any partitions).

The gcam zip file is to enable camera2api and flashed via Magisk then it should be no issue. Else you need to reflash via recovery as build.prop will reset after update.

Do not know ARcore zip. But if it does not work after update then you should be fine to reflash it again. No data loss will be there.

Is this ok?? I'm still on v.337 yet to upgrade but I got this notification today which never happened with me since v.327(rooted)...
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Guides, News, & Discussio] AVinaSh_S:
I was testing Asus Service Firmware (used on my other thread) yesterday and downgraded to v334.

I got notification for v337 and and after that for v338.

The v338 update was distributed very very slowly so no issue in getting this notification late.

To remove notification you either update to v338 (has great battery so why skip it) or simply freeze app named FOTAService (alternatively you can force stop the app in settings and it will not bother you until next reboot).

A few months ago, I found this simple method where you just use the "Secure Start-Up" option with a PIN within android and use that exact PIN as "password" to decrypt internal storage in TWRP, and I was easily able to access internal storage with this. I've been busy since then. Has anyone tried using this? Like updating the ROM without having to flash decrypt.zip ?

Right now I'm planning on updating to the latest December2018 update. Downloading the stock ROM from:

Any rom with selinux permissive will not have audio problem. Inorder to completely fix it you need to flash the stock via fastboot. (audio would work on enforcing too)
