flashall_AFT.cmd fix

Hey guys, i had the same problem flashing the rom.

flashall_AFT.cmd did nothing, the problem was i had to install the latest ASUS USB drivers on my windows 10 first.

I posted the solution here : https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=81000681#post81000681

You can get the latest drivers here : https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1245225&d=1344272324

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I finally managed to sort it out after following a guide from YouTube. The phone I had was already installed with WW ROM ver 1908 when I got it, I flashed a WW ROM ver 1910 , followed all the steps precisely, and managed to have it certified again.

What is your Widevine level now that you have fingerprint and rom WW ? (And bootloader locked): L1 or L3?

Thanks
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gilsol:
L3, I checked with some app.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] RedLeader00:
Have you lost L1 due to the change in the fingerprint? How could you go from L3 to L1 now? I would like to be able to see HD content in netflix/hbo etc.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gilsol:
I actually didn't bother to check when I got my phone. It came with CN fingerprint and WW ROM. From what I understand this configuration is not officially supported by Asus, hence no updates and I think this was enough to lose L1.

I don't know if you can restore L1.

Not passing safety net

Hi everyone, i've tried all the steps and i am successfully converted my CN device to WW rom with lock bootloader as the closing step. And after checking with Device HW my fingerprint was WW already.

But i faced 2 problems here:

1. When i tried to update to the latest ww rom, followed the step to just put on root internal folder, after i restarted device, there is no pop up option showed to update manually. Wondering why is this happened?

SOLVED, now i know why, bcs i already on 1910.35

2. When i checked with safety net apps, is showed me failed, and details said it cant access google play services while my Google Play works well. Anyone can help why this occured?

Thanks in advance.

7) Open the Root Explorer App on you phone. Then from the app, select Mount R/W to R/O. Search for "/vendor/factory" folder and Edit the file content COUNTRY from CN to WW (ALL Capital). Scroll to "/system/etc/AsusTheme/themes" then delete the hidden file to enable the hidden themes.

only a factory folder,how to edit it?

In FACTORY scroll until u saw COUNTRY file. Click COUNTRY and choose TEXT EDITOR.

To edit CN to WW... just double click CN word/letter then u just edit to WW... Click 3 dot on upper right then Save and Exit.

Not a lot of info there to go on dude... At what point are you stuck, if you completed all the steps did you check with device info hw from playstore to check fingerprint has been successfully changed? Do you mean update to this version is not possible or after doing this you can't update?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] alucke:
I followed the instructions exactly, yet it still won't let me update to the latest software version.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Yep, everything is in place.. You do know you still have to update manually, right? To move to 1910.64 you need to download the full rom, place it in root of storage and reboot the phone. Did you opt to maintain root access? If so, you need to NOT reboot after updating to .64, instead, choose 'later', open magisk manager, click install on magisk, choose 'install after ota' (or words to that effect) and install. Then reboot

You can find latest rom (not A10) here

Change fingerprint

Hi, I've not rooted an android phone for a while (probably not since gingerbread), so wanted to double check I'm understanding correctly.

My ROG 2 phone came with WW 16.0631.1910.44-0. does that mean I only need to do steps 0, 6, 7 & 8? And then the steps to re-lock the bootloader if I don't want to stay rooted?

Thanks for the help.

My device came with the WW ROM Version 1906. 19.0.

Do I need to upgrade to to the latest WW ROM version to Change my fingerprint?

And since my device came with the WW ROM, which steps can I skip and jump to just to change the fingerprint to WW?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Rxxar:
If you don't have to change the Fingerprint to WW and you don't want lo unlock and re-lock de boatloader you just have to update to last firmware manually, just download the last firmware from the official site and then paste it on the Internal Storage to pull the "update available". As soon as you copy to the Internal Storage is better to reboot the phone otherwise the phone can't run the update.

---------- Post added at 07:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 AM ----------

If you update your phone and then try to unlock the boatloader you're going to "soft brick" your phone it will say "Slot _a is unbootable" and you have to flash the Raw ROM once again to "unbrick" and then have to unlock the boatloader in order to change the Fingerprint. My advice will be: unlock the boatloader, magisk+Root, then change the Fingerprint and then lock it again. Then you can update manually to the latest WW firmware.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Rxxar:
Yes you can.

You have to follow each step and re-lock the boatloader and only then you can Update it to last version with a manual Update. Check your Fingerprint and be sure that is WW otherwise you can't use Google pay and Netflix.

2: having global rom with cc fingerprint

Does 1, gives your OTA update auto from settings in mobile ? Light me up . If not, then why changing it to ww?

1 : you can update the rom by download it from asus officail site and put it inside internal memory ( not OTA )

2 : you cannot do number 1 you need pc

Hey guys thanks for the guides! I jsut got my phone (tencent version) and I was looking to convert it to WW.

Quick question about this. Whats the preferred method? Do I update my CN version to the latest OTA and convert it to WW? Or I convert it to WW from whatever firmware the phone is on now and then update to the latest WW?

Does it make a difference?

Thanks! :)

First convert it to WW relock and then Update it. The difference is because if you update it first you may Brick the phone.

WW to CN?

I have a rather uncommon question: I'd like to fully revert back to CN, including re-locking bootloader. I'm currently on 1910.35 WW, fingerprint fully converted to WW. Should I do as follow:

- Root using magisk,

- Change fingerprint back to CN

- Flash RAW file of CN ROM (1910.52)

- Wipe, relock bootloader

Is this procedure correct, or should I do/ download something else?

Yes you can you just have to pull the manual update. ( Download the file and move it from download to the internal storage)

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

You have to change first the fingerprint, relock and then update it to the last A9 or to A10. The A10 has some issues and can't pass the Safety Net and the battery is terrible.

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] uriii13:
Yeah.. downgrade to A9 v35, after v64, after A10... etc. Step by step

I did the same than the mate above: reinstall with RAW (fastboot way). If you can not, try with the v35 (Android 9). It worked for me. After that, just scale updating.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] txcforever:
So I came here just like all of us because I had a Tencent branded phone but with an International rom. I tried updating earlier to Android 10 but I got the update failed messaged so after a bit of googling I found out that the reason for that is usually because the seller installs a WW rom but doesn't change the fingerprint of the device preventing it to make the update, manually or not. So I did the whole procedure here, even updated a couple of versions forward because your raw file was more recent than mine. But when I went to change the country from CN to WW, the file there was already in WW, meaning that fingerprint was never the issue.

So what's next? Give up on official updates and just do it completely manually, or is there's something I am missing? From what I understand the phone being rooted or with an open bootloader doesn't affect the ability to update using official files. I checked my device with the device id HW (whatever the app is called) and everything shows that I now have a fully WW rom and fingerprint.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
If I recall correctly you need to be unrooted with original boot img before you can update to 10. I might be wrong tho
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] txcforever:
I rushed here to tell you that it seems to work with the Android 9 files, so yeah, I might try unrooting and closing the bootloader and try again.

Update: After installing the latest official Android 9 version 1606.31 from their site it allowed me to install Android 10. So if anyone has the same issue as me I would recommend trying the same thing. Do what the guide says just to be sure, and if the problem insists, install the final A9 version and then A10.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] uriii13:
Install Google USB Drivers in your PC via Android SDK and reflash v35 (Android 9). Later, continue updating the phone to A10 (I think you can do it directly) via Fastboot: download the RAW version of the OS you wanna install (v35 in this case), extract the RAW .zip wherever you want. Once extracted and Google USB Drivers installed, launch your Asus in Fastboot mode ('vol +' + 'power button') andconnect your phone by USB cable. Then, double click on flashall_AFT.cmd (or something like that)

I would recommend to make a clean flash among updates
