Hi,
tl;dr: Is there a download link available for the WW_V21.40.1220.1698 official firmware?
Details:
I have a ZE600KL and this official page says Marshmallow is released for it.
I have unlocked bootloader and currently stock recovery and ROM, that I've flashed myself by downloading from the official support page (1.16.40.1523_20160426). I've been checking for updates from Settings>About>System Update for a while, to no success. I used to have a root but flashing the 1.16 seems to have removed it. And if I flash TWRP and reboot to recovery, it asks me whether it should leave the system partition untouched. So this makes me think I should be able to receive the OTA, normally. And yet, as I said, no such luck.
I've seen some ROMs that mention they require MM firmware for ZE600KL, such as this one. Again, this makes me thing some people out there must have received the 21.40 update (or any Marshmallow update) for their ZE600KL. I've been searching the internet but I didn't find this firmware anywhere. If somebody knows a link or if by some enormous kindness somebody uploads this, I'd be really grateful.
Thank you in advance to anyone who replies
Edit: I came across this link but I haven't yet been able to verify if it works, will update after I try:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE600KL/UL-Z00L-WW-21.40.1220.1698-user.zip
Second Edit: The zip in the link flashes and boots. I'm sorry to have created a thread and then manage to solve it on my own later, but hopefully this might be helpful to other ZE600KL owners in the future.

This thread might help you with the resource, links and few information about upgrading to Lollipop 5.1 when the official OTA arrives.
BEFORE WE BEING, LETS SUM UP WITH THE THINGS WE KNOW TILL NOW.
After agers, Motoroal dropped Lollipop for our Xs
First the LP 5.0.2 came out as soak test
Finally LP 5.1 OTA hit the brazillian markets a couple of days back
We can expect to hit all other markets in couple to weeks.
Now things we need to know for successfully installing the OTAs when it finally arrives in our regions
** I'm expecting all of you(reading this) are rooted with locked or unlocked bootloader **
*If you are not rooted, you are set, stop reading and count clocks before it hits your region*
Now whether you are have locked or unlocked bootloader, I'm guessing you have Custom Recovery installed (TWRP,CWM, etc).
and might or might not be running a Custom ROM.
For both the cases, you can never successfully install OTA when it arrives cause it has a pre validation check, which will fail if it recognizes anything other than stock is installed.
For more info :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59524348&postcount=324
AND NEVER TRY TO DOWNGRADE CAUSE IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR SET IT UP FOR BRICKING LATER (IF IT DOESN'T BRICK, WHEN TRY TO INSTALL OTA IT SURELY WILL)
More Info
( http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-warning-risks-downgrading-impacts-t3058202 )
So, it narrows down to a particular question " What should be done if we want to install the OTA when it arrives.? "
This is what you need to do :
Flash Stock ROM (if you are using Custom ROM) and Stock Recovery and then download the OTA and give it go....
** its good if you install both Stock ROM & Recovery, cause you might knowing or unknowingly tampered your system partition by installing/experimenting with several modules and framworks (xposed for eg) **
which by the way raises the following follow up question :
Q : Where to find Stock ROM ZIP file and how to install it.?
A : For this, first you need to know which Model of Moto X are you using and download the same and the flash it.
For getting to know and downloading the your region specific ROM zip file please vist ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/info-tip-web-sites-official-leaked-roms-t2923347
and for the flashing guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Please go through and read carefully to both the threads, and you will find yourself happy with LP 5.1 when it finally comes.
I have no hands in making the links mentioned, all this is done by spending hours of research time by these people.. *Say Thanks to Them*.. I just accumulated the data to provided a one thread solution.

I haven't posted this cause, its not the official OTA installation thing, its just restoring a TWRP backup. which in case has many bugs (eg speaker phone, Network selection etc.)
I also admit that there is no contribution from me, in creation of the links I've posted, I just accumulated the data for myself, in thought that, when the OTA hits my region, this would help me going back to stock.
I made this thread thinking that, if in some way I could also help others who are looking for a solution for this.
The tips posted in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/faq-kit-kat-how-to-prepare-carriers-t2536735 still apply for Lollipop...
I found a Rom that was called cm-21.1-YOG4PAS3JL-Rooted-Twrpable.zip that updated me to 5.1.1. So, I keep getting asked to run a system update when the name suggest some update earlier than mine. Wish I could stop those annoying request to update. Anyway, where do I go to get the latest update that is for Rooted and TWRP users.
I have the same issue every time.. Found this tread and hope it will be updated soon when the MM update comes

I have a Zenfone 3 Z012DE and I do not know what firmware to install, since I have seen different models in the roms and otas uploaded to the forum, I do not know how to check the correct model to which my equipment corresponds
Is possible update to Nougat?, not link for my Firmware of my model ...
Edit: ZE552KL (Asus Z012DE)
Thanks
First off, as a new user I am unable to supply you the link directly to the page but I can direct you to where you would find your update:
If you search in Google "Zenfone 3 Z012DE" (Without quotation marks obviously) then the first link should be an Asus page. Once the page opens, you will see a bunch of gallery pictures of your device, near the top right under the search bar you should see Support, click it. Then, go to Driver & Tools, select Android as your OS and a few boxes should appear. On the second box, you will see the latest Nougat update for your device (WW-14.2020.1706.53). If you notice in your screenshot, your software code starts with WW, only download firmwares that start with WW off Asus support page since those are the only ones that will work with your devices. Unfortunately, if your phone works the same way as mine, your build indicates the date 09/09/2016 which means the latest update may not work because it will refuse to update on a build that is older than 01/20/2017 (I think that's the exact date) in which case you will have to download and upgrade each version at a time until you get to the lastest firmware.
To install the updates, copy them over to an SD card from a PC or download it through your phone and make sure you know where to find it on the SD card, boot into recovery and hit update from SD card.

Flash WW_13.20.10.152 first.
After flashing, update your device to WW_14.2015.1701.8/ WW_14.2015.1701.13
After upgrading to Nougat, flash the new WW_14.2020.1706.53 firmware.
P.S: These update files can be found on ASUS' website.
Hope this helps

Good afternoon, I can install firmware ww15 (Android 8) ASUS_Z012DE?
At the moment I have the firmware WW_13.20.10.152.
Do I have to install the firmware WW_14.2015.1701.8 and then the WW_14.2020.1706.53?
Or can I move from the WW_13.20.10.152 firmware directly to WW-15.0410.1712.31 or WW-15.0410.1801.40?

I have similar question. I can install firmware ww15 (Android 8) ASUS_Z012DE?
At the moment I have the firmware WW_14.2020.1709.68. I tried upgrade to WW_14.2020.1711.75, to WW_14.2020.1711.79, to WW_14.2020.1711.85 but don't work. installation aborted. What should i do?
Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with the stock recovery image from N.
The original from MM will fail when trying to system update because the updates are looking for a newer version of the rom than it thinks I am running. I have not been able to find a newer recovery anywhere.
Help me, XDA. You're my only hope.
p.s. if someone could just give me the newest image I'll just try flashing it in fastboot.
I'm having some sort of software issue with my touchscreen only working intermittently. It works fine after waking from screen off but then decides to quit at some point. I wanna totally replace my system image and the OTA packages don't contain a system image.
In this MEGA link you'll find stock recoveries from Shakalaca. In my case, since mine came preloaded with MM, Nougat recoveries won't work for me. Maybe you'll different results from it?

I'll just say "thank you," but you can safely assume that it comes with several pages worth of exclamation points that I will omit for brevity.
Seriously, thanks! Hopefully this will work out!
i updated my phone to the latest firmware. i had root before i took the update through odin. i was on like two firmwares older then the latest one. not sure what the build was. i used this link to get root. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...reo-nougat-t3819616/post79522881#post79522881
it worked good but i wanted to update so i noticed the link or thread provided only works up to bootloader version 9. this new update updated the number to 10 so i get a fail in odin now. can someone update the V9 kernel in the link to V10 or is it more complicated then that? any input is welcome. thanks
Also in the same boat.. would appreciate any help
Also recently got this, would love a fix. Thanks!
Any updates on the latest G930VVRUACSF2 firmware? I tried root, but failed.
I agree. Any update on g930vvruacsf2?
