Hi, I just recover my phone from bootloop. Now the rom is CN1906 and Fingerprint is WW.

1) I want to get Google pay working, does using CN or WW rom matter?

2) I hear the Google pay won't work unless ROG is release in my region (Australia). Is that true?

3) to change the fingerprint from CN to WW or WW to CN. Is unlock bootloader a must?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkit:
Yes and need root as well, after update country file, it should unroot and unlock bootloader

Thank you. Will try again tonight.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] finalgeist:
Hi all,

I've been trying to convert CN rom to the latest WW rom via the flashboot method.

After going into fastboot mode and Double-Clicking and Running flashall_AFT.cmd, the command prompt window pops up briefly showing the processes for about 1 second and then automatically closes.

And my phone is not flashed with the new rom.

I've looked through the forums and it looks like I'm the only one with this problem.

Any advice is much appreciated.

(p.s. I have unlocked the bootloader)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] winkhant:
when I Double-Click and Run flashall_AFT.cmd, it show fastboot.exe flash all WW_ZS660KL_16.0622.1907.33_M3.13.33.26-ASUS-_1.1.134_Phone-user.raw.

It take too long over 30 mins.

Nothing change and phone doesn't reboot. Not finish yet.

how to do this problem, Now I still China Rom,[IMG="It take too long"]https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqnXROLVsCRRphWn0fpU5_H1F1Vi?e=Yp4eeC[/IMG]

For me it was the very same - i just simply couldn't start it as administrator. So for me worked just simple double click. If double click not working for you, try it start on as a administrator

Hi friends .. Is there a shortage of updates on devices that changed "imei"?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
hello i'm also on 1906 and want to update to 1908, which is the best way to do this?

thanks
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] NoBodysGamer:
Guys, im missing something, I have Chinese phone that i got with WW firmware, I just updated it trough fastboot to WW-16.0631.1908.12.

But Asus download page has WW-16.0631.1908.21 version, i downloaded the file: UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-16.0631.1908.21-1.1.3-user.zip and renamed it to update.zip, copied to the root of my phone and kept a copy on the USB drive just in case, rebooted the phone and nothing.

what am i missing?

I just did using this method, easy and fast: https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/guide-convert-cn-to-ww-rom-26-08-t3961042
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
thanks for that, bit of noob question. I have the128gb Tencent version on WW rom, not sure if my fingerprint is CN or WW. How do i check this?

ALso the link you sent which particular process fdo i follow?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] NoBodysGamer:
I have the same phone, when you forst booted the phone and it offered 2 languages Chinese and English, its chinese rom, if it had more its WW, also the process on that page works for both, it converts CHinese to WW and updates WW to newer WW

There is only one process follow, it takes 7miniutes

Create ROG folder on C drive [or whatever you want to name it]

Download the latest update from here https://drive.google.com/file/d/10zIt6BEiJA8nQVq3-EdNcVqW5_dBBuGC/view?usp=sharing

Unzip to its folder

Connected included USB C cable to the side USB-C port, turn off the phone, hold volume up and press power button for 2-3 second and leave it, keep holding volume untill "strange" black menu appears [recover ymode]

Thats it no need to press any buttons, go to your folder where you unziped the firmware and Run file named "flashall_AFT.cmd"

It will show black window, looks like stuck but wait, can take up to 10 minutes, dont disconnect, when its done it will resturt the phone

If you already had WW ROM, you dont need to do anything after its done, no need to re-lock anything, no need to whipe anything, its just regualr update

p.s. if you have OTG cable AND you are on WW rom, the default one that Chinese ship with, download update from ASUS, rename it to update.zip and using OTG copy to root of the phone, restart the phone and it theory it should ask you to update, it didnt worked for me because my rom is high .12 and theirs is .21, but if your rom is low enough it should work and in this case easy work, no need to do anything else, ignore the guide i written before, asus download page, first file https://www.asus.com/Phone/ROG-Phone-II/HelpDesk_BIOS/

I only found out about the easy method after I already updated, so try it first since its easy and this is how all updates should be for us in future
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
Right I'm going to try this tomorrow and see how i get on.

I might need some advice if i get stuck.

Thanks for your help appreciated.

Mine on first boot had multi languages so that confirm it is ww but did that mean fingerprint is also ww?

Btw I'm on 1906.19, could I try the update zip method?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] NoBodysGamer:
Yes its WW rom, you can always check: Settings>System>About Phone> Software Information

it also shows your rom build
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
If i try the easier updat zip method first, if not compatible it won't brick my phone?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] lamboyholic:
Im using method in this link:

https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/flashing-ww-rom-changing-cn-fingerprint-t3969765

After updated at 1907 (and change WW FINGERPRINT) Just download 1908 rom from asus website and move the update file to root folder, after view minutes (or just restart) you have notification to update the software, then happy update.

Note: in my case, it wont update if you dont change the fingerprint to WW (there's notification for update but cant proccess) im using device info HW app to check fingerprint, in "system" tab

Im just newbie here btw, gives credit to who share the guide and information, thanks

How to check the fingerprint?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I downloaded HWinfo app from playstore.

Now i know at least which software I'm on.

WW 1906 and CN fingerprint.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
right can you advice which is the best method to update WW 1906 to CN 1907, i assume that is the best way to update to WW 1908?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Jigslice:
Worked like a charm

Just wanted to pop on here and mention I received my *SEALED* tencent ROG phone 2 today and the fastboot method with latest 1908.12 worked perfectly!

Thank you!
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] lamboyholic:
The link i mention before, that actually update to WW 1907, no need to change CN rom, just change CN "fingerprint" to WW "Fingerprint" (using "device info HW" app to check what fingerprint in device is)

But if u already in WW fingrprint, i think that all set, just download file update from asus site and move directly to /internal storage , and just wait then pop up update message will appear automatically

Note: im come with WW 1906 rom with CN fingerprint
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
I also have ww 1906 with CN fingerprint.

I know you sent the link but where do I start the process from? Perhaps you can tell me where i should start my process from.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Jigslice:
If you want to get going quickly with an updated WW ROM (1908.12), and don't mind keeping CN Fingerprint. Then, follow OP and download his latest version of WW and follow the steps mentioned.

Keep in mind you can't manually update with CN fingerprint so you're not future proof. But it's an easy way to get an up to date WW ROM running.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] lamboyholic:
Okay then, you must have windows pc (they say it MUST x64 bit ver) connector cable (any standard type c is working), and rog 2 itself before using this method

1. Download EVERY SINGLE file that necessary for flashing and relock

2. Read EVERY SINGLE guide, turn by turn, to put simply:

a. Make your pc recognice device in fastboot mode by installing minimal adb file in your pc, then install unlock tool.apk in rog device and run it, so bootloader unlocked

b. Connect device while in fastboot mode,

c. Flash by just run "flash_all_AFT.cmd" file, wait about 5 or so minutes, until finish and restart itself. That will make your device in 1907, WW, congrats

d. Open root, install magisk, change fingerprint and unlock themes, restart

e. Unroot and relock bootloader

And copy 1908 file to :/internal storage, that will automatically detect update software by popup message.

Im using that method and works.

Or you can search another method that suits you, happy upgrade!

If I run ww rom with cn fingerprint do I also need to flash a different rom or is it enough to unlock and root, change fingerprint to ww and then OTAs will work?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] keithip96:
I'm completely noob to this so here what I did.

I followed the "ROG 2 Fastboot Method" and end up on WW 1908.12 from CN right now but I did not unlock bootloader nor relock it (I just followed those steps under ROG 2 fastboot method). Right now I can't set up google pay due to "This phone can't be used to pay in store. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way." Should I go back to CN > unlock bootloader > WW > relock bootloader to make the google pay work? I'm using the phone in the US. Please help. (Also none of the download link works on the front page. Can someone please provide other links?) Thanks in advance!

Hi..I totally new...I'm just brought a Rog ll with global rom. Just get to know that I can't get OTA update. Any change that I can do manual update.?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Amrena:
Your comments and advice..

Hello Friends!!

As I know there is lot of experance and knowledge out there I dare to ask for your comments and advice..

I have order a ASUS ROG II from Banggood and even if its still as “Backorder” I hope soon get it.

As soon I have it, before I connect to my Google account, I will follow the guide on first page..and hopefully succed.

Im thinking;

*After success will it than, from software point of view, be considered as an original ASUS mobile with original WW-rom?

*Can I after that, if OTA not works, download WW updates from Asus support site, restart the mobile and it will be updated?

*I assume it after this it still will have less Network bands, or is it possible to add more , ex Band 20?

Thanks in advance

Would it be possible to re-lock bootloader while still being rooted through magisk, and then keep root while having a locked bootloader?

Reason for asking: I wish to have my bootloader locked in order for Widevine L1 but I do also desire root privileges.

Thanks in advance
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] ronin1728:
As far as I know, no you can't. Unlocked bootloader is the first and foremost pre-requisite of rooting. You can't keep your root if you re-lock your bootloader.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBrutalLicker:
Makes sense! That's what I feared.

Stuck in bootloop trying to convert to WW from CN

i did everything as per your instructions but the command window disappeared all of a sudden. I tried it again, it would showed even less writings.. 3rd time it worked like the first try around the part where it reads to asus raw version =v7

It took forever, and then i went ahead and restarted the device as it did not restart by it self. Then, it boots up to the logo with dts and keeps looping.

Please help me..

I did as much as making sure of using 64bit adb tools as well as 32..tried side loading the rom as zip with adb sideload..

The attached screen shot is the part where the command line last went up and then the window closed by it self with the device in fastboot

Hello everyone. Today I got my rog 2 tencent edition (which came from the U.K. with a friend to Turkey). It seems the seller converted my phone into ww 1908.12-0 firmware but my fingerprint is still cn (widevine is L1 atm if that matters). Now these are what I want to end up with; ww fingerprint, root access, latest updated firmware, and maybe twrp too. There are many guides here i know but i dont know which order to follow (first unlockbootloader, or first update, then finger or then what etc.)
