It's been mentioned here that download links are not to be shared in this forum. Could you please remove your post?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gabi.ailincai:
I have been unable to install 3 betas. I am positive that the file is renamed properly and the file is in the right place, as it is picked up after a reboot, but I always get "update failed". I tried with the A9 to A10 zips for beta 1, 3 and 7, all had the same issue.

I removed Magisk and Magisk Manager and I even flashed the stock boot image, but I still get the same error.

I even tried flashing the zip with twrp, but that failed as well. Does anyone have any idea what else I can try?

I'd rather not wipe the device, but if there are no other options, is there a full ROM I can flash with twrp?

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] sdas683:
Gabi,

Just wanting to clarify a couple things

1) Are you trying to install an incremental update past your current version without actually being on the immediately previous version? Ex: Go from B3 to B7?

2) What is the size of the file you are trying to use to update? Anything in the 120-200MB range is only incremental, if you are trying to skip from say B4 - B8 it would not be possible using that file

3) Have you tried to find a stock no root locked bootloader image for A9 and get that working, and then tried to use the A9 to A10 files?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
The link I found on telegram only has 7 files for Beta:

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=121pvL7gUZjcy3LQd487Leqx51fya47aY

Is this complete!? The upgrade progress is flash B1, B2, B3 and so on right? Can't go from beta 1 to beta 7 or 8 right!?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] cheetah2k:
I'm extremely happy with Beta 8. Beta 5, 6 & 7 felt like it introduced lag opening apps, and scrolling lag in chrome. Now everything is snappy again like it was on Android 9.. I'm giving Asus 2 :good::good: for their efforts on this beta. I reckon its so close now to final :fingers-crossed:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gabi.ailincai:
1) I am in the latest A9 version and I tried going directly to beta 1, beta 3 and beta 7. Since none of them worked, I was not going with the incremental update, but with the full update from A9 to A10 for each beta version.

2) I am aware that the 100-200 MB files are not the full update, so I can't go directly to those versions or skip versions between, say, B3 and B7. As I said, none of them worked, so I wasn't skipping Beta versions. I was using the 1GB+ zips

3) By 'bootloader' image, are you referring to the boot.img image? If so, then I have, as mentioned in my last message, but that hasn't helped. The boot image wouldn't be locked, but I haven't locked the bootloader, as the previous posts didn't mention that a locked bootloader is required.

As said, I'd rather not wipe the phone, but if there is no full beta ROM for me to flash, then I can go, as you suggested, with flashing stock A9 and try to get to beta from a clean install (maybe Magisk - or I - messed something up while rooted). But I'll keep this as a last resort option.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
I'm stuck in the 1912.22 image zip. All zips I tried from VN telegram, all give Update failed.

Any ideas? Recovery mode doesn't have the option to flash update.zip..

[emoji849]

BTW I'm in a locked bootloader and rooting at this point is out of question since I wanna keep my warranty
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Hi can you please help? I'm still on Android 9. I have the tencent edition however it has the WW ROM along with the WW fingerprint. I want to update to the Beta 8. Do I have to start from Beta 1 and do individual updates like 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8 or Can I update straight away to beta 8 ? Also do I need to be rooted or have bootloader unlocked to update to Beta?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
I'd wait for stable Android 10 if I were you. I made the mistake of using a Beta and got a couple of glitches so far. I never unlocked the bootloader though..

Annoying bug on beta 8. When getting a phone call while using Bluetooth earphones, I can hear my ringtone in the back ground of the conversation. And after the call is finished, the ringtone keeps going on through the phone speaker. There's no way of making it stop unless I restart the phone. Really annoying. Waiting for beta 9 ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] reg66:
Without Bt earphones my ringtone keeps going after I answer the call, only for a few more rings but its annoying
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
In that case I'll wait for the stable version

Thanks for the warning ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
And another thing, aperently there is no way back to 9 without unlocking the bootloader

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
I definitely will wait for the stable them ,

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] freddetj:
I went back to latest A9 from beta 7 without unlocking bootloader. Just a bit of reading up, finding the right zip and then a simple adb flash. (have the international 512gb/12gb phone) of course I had to follow a few important steps including removing Google account before flashing and backing up stuff since the phone gets factory reset after flash.

But it is absolutely not to hard and NO UNLOCK NEEDED. ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
Can you give me a guide or the steps needed? I can't find anything :(

[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gabi.ailincai:
I've been thinking about what may be different for me and I remembered that I installed the Kirisakura kernel. Does anyone who managed to upgrade to beta have the Kirisakura kernel installed?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] vygneys_vyg:
Can someone please confirm if EdXposed is working on Android 10?

I have tried all versions (all the beta versions after the one in magisk for Android Pie) and flashing is successful, it says EdXposed is active, but none of the apps work.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] gabi.ailincai:
Actually, scratch that. Flashing the stock boot.img should have restored the stock kernel as well, so this is not the issue.

I am on latest a9 rom and I want to update to a10

where can i download it?

how can I update to a10 while keeping root and apps?

please guide me through it

thank you
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
Just a headsup, i'm not rooted but following this guide and using the beta 7 then, putting the zip for beta 8 in the internal memory should do it:

https://xdaforums.com/rog-phone-2/how-to/update-root-t3977143

Anyway you need the beta 7 FULL ZIP (which is around 1Gb of size):

Link for Full beta 7 zip to upgrade directly from android 9:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-jEVsgzdb9lxMknjbaGplKsTh7sQ1yIJ/view

The full zip will give you the option to upgrade directly to beta 7.

And follow the steps above to keep root from android 9!!!

Now for the beta 8 zip:

Then update to Beta 8 with this zip and you need to do the same steps again in the topic i gave above:

Download the beta 8 from: Here!!!!

Rename the file to “UL-ASUS_I001_1-ASUS-17.0210.1912.55-1.1.79-user.zip”

Put the downloaded file in the root of internal storage and restart the phone but remember to follow the first link to keep root

PS: Keep in mind i never tried to keep root myself because i didnt unlocked the bootloader, so i don't know if the above method works!

Im in the Beta 8 though myself :)
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] AlanTham:
I've encountered the same bug as well...very annoying
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Kianush:
[MENTION=5695467]joluke[/MENTION] thank you for the complete answer my friend

I am on Android 10 Beta 8 and facing this issue of ringtone. Phone rings and ringtone loops into 3 to 4 seconds of the ringtone and when you answer the phone, the remaining ringtone cycles are completed in earpiece. Very annoying bug and I haven't find any solution yet. Only what I do to avoid ringtone loop is when the phone rings, I press the volume button (either down or up) so the loop ends and phone rings completely but when I answer the call, it still rings in earpiece along with the call for initial few seconds.

Anyone with the solution, please help us.

Hi i just discovered the following bugs when I updated from Android 9 to beta 8, please help

1st issue is if I go to settings and then go to the "Google" tab which says "services and preferences" I just get a white screen. I have to pull down notification menu and go to settings to get rid of the white screen

2nd issue is if I try to make a new Google account, it asks me to put in my password/ screen pattern, after doing this the screen freezes and I can only start using the phone if I again pull the notification menu down and go to settings again,

I was on the android 9 ROM, my device is the tencent Chinese 128gb version but with the WW fingerprint etc.

Are you facing any of these issues? And idea how I can resolve these ? Thanks

after checking *Running services* in developer options, I can see that "Google play services" is not longer running like it used to run on Android 9:( my Gmail keeps force closing too. What have I done wrong and how can I fix it ? Was the Beta ROM which was given in the link a CN one or WW one ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
I don't have any of the bugs you reported. Might be handy to do a factory reset. I just tried all your steps and no issues in my end. Give it a try and report back

BTW the rom I gave you is the ww one. I have the rog phone 2 international version, not tencent. The 12gb of ram with 512gb of internal memory.

The rom won't cross flash for cn devices. The zip has internal verifications before being flashed.

Do a factory reset and report back
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Will give it a try shortly. Btw are you using the tencent version of the ROG or the 512 UK version ?
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] joluke:
512gb of memory and 12gb of ram. The zip can't be cross flashed. It does internal verifications to make sure it is the correct model. I got the ww model and the zip I gave you the link to, is the ww version, not cn

Try this, go to the phone dialler and type in *#*#4636#*#* then from the drop down select "LTE Only" let us know if your 4g works then.

What issue are you facing ? Please be specific

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Go to phone dialler and type in *#*#4636#*#* then from the drop down select "LTE only" let us know what happens
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Josef997:
Yes it's works! But why we need to do this manually it should be by system.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
If it worked please give me a like :)

And I don't know bro ? on my ROG 2 the 4g works perfectly even without having to do it manually. Perhaps your 3g is stronger than your 4g which is why it's choosing the 3g more often. When you go to the *#*#4636#*#* menu, try choosing LTE/WCDMA Option. If that works, then you should be able to use 4g along with 3g without having to change anything else. Give that a go too
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Josef997:
I already did twice:laugh:

The question is from where did you get the code and is there more important code ?

Yes it's seems

like 3g stronger than 4g I already chose LTE/WCDMA the best option and I really appreciate it thanks again:good:
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanos88:
Thanks bro ? I've known this code for years haha, it used to work on Samsung and Sony phones many years ago. there are more codes yes for example codes to test your screen , speakers, WiFi, gyroscope etc, just to make sure the phones internals are all working correctly.

Don't forget, if you restart your phone or switch it on and off, you will have to manually change the network once again in that hidden menu

Here's a other tip, if you're looking to save battery , have very poor reception in a poor area or you only need just calls and texts (no data) so in an emergency, go to the hidden menu and choose "GSM ONLY". This will put your phone into 2g network. Bear in mind this will only work with EE, GIFFGAFF, O2 & VODAFONE. 3 network don't have a 2g frequency.
[ASUS ROG Phone II Guides, News, & Discussion] Josef997:
This is a new information for me to know it I hope they will release the stable update very soon

Thanks alot
