Manual Update - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Hi everyone,
I just wanna ask if I need to install every single update on asus website for Zenfone Max Pro M1 (3g variant)?
Or I just need to install the latest version update available to update its security patch, etc.
Thank you in advance.

If you are on the very first build you will get 318 then 327or337
But you surely can jump from any lower build to whatever the latest is...
Don't try to revert can't say about that but you can surely jump over lower to higher

Why I can't update from 3.0.1 to 3.2

I purchased my tablet from US and I live in india. Only one time i was able to update when i run it first time, after than never got any message for update of Android Version.
When i go to Settings>About Tablet and click on System Update and check for new version it's gives me message "Your device is up to date" and when i see the version details than these are
Model Number : A500
Android Version : 3.0.1
Kernel Version : 2.6.36-00017-gc98d63f
Build Number : Acer_A500_1.016.01_COM_GEN1
Update is not available for india yet or where i am wrong please help.
Not sure if your locale has anything to do with getting updates. That's typically an issue with 3G providers, but as long as your tablet is an A500 (wifi only version) it should find the OTA updates no problem, that it unless you are running a custom ROM. Either way, you can manually update your tablet. All the information you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
If you currently have a custom ROM or rooted your stock ROM, you will lose root by updating to a newer stock ROM, and the only way to recover root is by reverting back to Android 3.0. There are several custom ROM's based on 3.2 which already have root, if you also choose to go that route. If you have no idea what I mean when I mention root, just don't worry about it and carry on with that link I posted
Thanks Bloodflame, Yes i read that it can not be rooted and thank you for the link to get it update manually but i don't understand why i am not able to get updates.
And whether it is good to update with 3.0.2 ? Please suggest.

can't explain why you're unable to OTA update, but the security and performance improvements along with new features (ie, native mouse support) should make a manual 3.2 update worthwhile
Ok Thanks, I will update to 3.2 and let me see what magic it does.

Asus zenfone current Build confusion

Hi all,
I have confusion on asus zenfone max pro current build when i got the phone i got an ota update of 123 mb with build number 14.2016.1804.252.Where as i got mail from flipkart with ota build of size 1.3gb which states camera improvement with build number 14.2015.1802.252.
Which is the latest build i have already installed 14.2016.1804.252 in my phone when i try to install ota from Flipkart by placing it in my internal storage phone is not detecting it for installation.
Any one please help!!!!!!
hi.
the email that you got from flipkart contains the full rom.
the ota update that you got on your phone just contains the changed files in the new build.
so you are on the latest build.
no worries.
Tq so much for that reply.This confusion was literally eating my brain.Appreciated.

OPPO F1s Can't install Firmware updates.

Hey all sorry to bother you but I can't install the update for my OPPO F1s. System Update states it is the latest version although it isn't, when I press the "Features" button it says "No Version Info"
When I try to manually update through recovery it states the same thing. I haven't updated the phone before as it's never asked even though I bought it the week the OPPO F1s was released in Australia. As far as I can tell it (With my extremely limited knowledge) it seems as though I don't have an official stock rom on my phone although I've never tampered with it.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated as although not urgent it does worry me as I realised I may have bought a phone with some kinda of virus on it without realising and I've used it for a couple of years.
#UPDATE#
Turns out the firmware is oddly labelled but I figured out that the phone had been updated with stock 6.0 rom and the 5.1 rom has been updated since but the 6.0 was considered beta, hence so feature info.
Tracked down the latest 6.0 update I could find and installed it and BAM phone is back to normal with the plus-side of having a clean install. Sorry to bother you all with this.
Which firmware you have installed?
A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227 is it this?
Oppo Customer Care (India) advised users of F1s that no OTA update for 6.0 would be pushed and anyone wishing to update will have to go to service centre. Did that and it seems they too have installed the beta 6.0 ROM which says no version info. Version number : A1601EX_11_D.102_170923 (Security Patch June 2017)
Apparently the stable 6.0 update available for Indian users is version : A1601EX_11.A.37_20190227. But I am not sure whether it will update through recovery. Will try and let you know
i know two years have passed but im facing the same problem and i cant find the latest update of 6.0, can you link me there?pls

Need advice for updating from . 316 to . 055

I recently bought Max Pro M1 but I am not getting any updates
My current build is .316(oreo), can I manually update it to .055(pie) directly?
Dont update your phone....the first version of this phone was so good for battery and other factors....native video calling also there...if you want to update directlh just go to asus site download 1.5 GB latest update to root of your internal storage...restart your phone you will see notification for update

Oh ok thanks
About the battery and stuff, Can I update it to oreo's lastest version (. 340) without having any problems like battery drain or the other factors you mentioned above?
I won't update it to Pie as it has many bugs
I think you should avoid any upgrade even for oreo you will lose native video calling....even in recent pie update they removed widevine certi. Support from l1 to l3
