Zenfone 3 ZE552KL Z012DE Nougat Update?

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?

new firmware Versions in "Firmwarefinder for Huawei"

Hi,
I have an Huawei P10 Plus Dual SIM VKY-L29C636 with the current running Firmware VKY-L29C636B172
The last update was in November 2017 since then I don't get any new Updates displayed in the settings.
I downloaded the App "Firmwarefinder for Huawei" and it shows me the following newer Firmware Versions:
VKY-L29C636B210
VKY-L29C636B211
Does anyone use this new Versions?
Should I update to one of this new Versions?

Just check firmware access see if you approved to update. My FF already shows B301 which is Oreo but denied access when checking it.
Depends where you live. I got tge same phone and I don't have access to download and update.

The latest model is 211 and you can install it via HWOTA. I don't know anyone using this version. But probably there were no changes after all. Only simple performance tweaks. Otherwise software already stable.

For me latest firmware is 321 however says not authorised to download it..

I've installed the new Version VKY-L29C636B212
It has the Android Security Patches from January 2018
The first thing I discovered, that the phone runs a lot smoother, espacally when scrolling websides in Firefox.
The secound thing I discovered, is that the phone has more free ram, old Version round about 3,6GB, the B212 has 4,5GB free ram.
This are the first impressions, if i discover more, I let you know.

You download full OTA or OTA?

I did the Full OTA, but be carefull there are 2 Versions!
The Version with "PV" didn't work and almost bricked my Phone. I had to load an older Version thru recovery to get it back working.
The Version "FullOTA-MF" is working fine, I only had to wipe the cache and make an Factorydefault after updating, because the phone was in
a boot loop.
My Phone is running fine with the Version 212 and has now a way better Batterylife :good:

That's mean I am on 172, if I want update to 212 I should use the one without PV? Sorry if I asking too many questions
Rollback firmware means what version to what version? 360 to 212?

Yes use the normal full ota.
Rollback from 360(oreo) to 212(nougat) in case you need to.

Yesterday my Phone was not approved. I looked in FirmwareFinder today and my Phone is now approved :good:
So should I update to Oreo thru FirmwareFinder or should I wait a day or two?
The normal Huawei Update says in the moment there is no Update.

Ota would come from your Huawei updater in over a week or so. Just update it if you authorised.

Now I have Updated to Oreo :good:
Everything works fine, I have only one question:
The Phone is using the Treble Project (see screenshot).
Why is there only one partition, does this mean that fast Updates are not working?

You have to have 3 partition for treble.. And even tho Huawei said p10 plus supports treble it's not the case. Or maybe need to do full factory reset so new firmware will partition correctly im not sure

Update for people with Honor 5C NEM-L51C432-XXX

Hello community, and specifically to those with the model and build in the title.
After a few weeks of checking firmware finder, I discovered that it says it is now suitable and possible to update to B358.
I was on B357 until today and I can report that I updated to B358 just now with no problems at all. I installed the big file first(it's 1Gb+) and then the smaller file after that (a few hundred MB), again without issue. However with the second file it will complete 100% but then tell you there is another part to download. Just agree. It will do this 2 or 3 times and then will finally restart and install the package.
I have done and so far so good! :fingers-crossed:

Forgot to include proof....

Hey has anyone with nem-l51 updated yet to build 358 ??? I did a few weeks back? Just interested? Please try to reply...

No, but I have installed B359 though with no problems.

Dit it myself. There's a couple more updates available, like 359, 360, 361 and even 371. Have yet to test these though.
Anyway, it's nothing but security patches in the end. Don't think we're gonna get features updates anymore.

I think you're right about it only being security update patches from now on. I recently installed the b360 build. This pretty much confirms that the honor 5C and P9-lite will not be in line to receive an official upgrade to Oreo 8.0. Bit of a shame.

Hi guys,
I made a mess... I tried to update to B359 but then by mistake I flashed the wrong recovery So option was to flash full update.app I stored in microSD.
The problem is that that full update was an older version. Anyway now I still have build number B359 but other information refer to older firmware version I actually flashed!! For example security patch is still October!
So I downloaded full update to B357, flashed but again build is B359!!
Anyone experienced same issue? How can I solve?
UPDATE: solved by downloading and flashing an update called "update_data_full_NEM-L51_hw_eu.zip". After flashing this build number was correct!
Thanks!

P8 (original) firmware updated to GRA_L09C432B520

I must admit, I'd given up looking for, and any hope of ever getting another P8 update - it was on GRA_L09C432B398.
But, turned it on this morning to see it demanding a restart after having automatically downloaded and installed an OTA update to GRA_L09C432B520.
Rebooted and following an anxious wait (whilst it optimised the memory), there it was: See attachment
Afterwards, I checked Firmware Finder, but nothing listed there after …B399.
Android patch level is only to 1st Jan 2018

Hi
On this link you will find the downloadable update B520 and who has experience.
mobilarena.hu/tema/re_huawei_p8_nekik_nem_8/friss.html

Is there anyone who have downloaded and tested it ? Is there other "sure" download source ?

Hey,
if you are running B399 you have t go back to the last official version which is B398 first.
B399 was never officially released.
After reboot into B398, the regular OTA update should work and bring you the option to download B520. As far as I can see, there is still no FULL Update available for B520.
For me this worked wthout issues. B520 is running as good as B399.

Yes, kudos to Huawei for releasing this security update on a relatively old machine.
It makes me more inclined to trust them in the future.
B520 seems to work well for me.

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

Please be aware of the branding. So do not use the vodafone branded file if you are using a non branded version at the moment.

Oh it's easier than I thought so. Thank you!

U cannot update from firmware 73
U need to be on older firmware for it to install successfully(72 i think)
Downgrade to Firmware 72 than try installing Android 10 and remember to check the zip for errors first before upgrading.

Guidance Needed

May I get some guidance regarding such downgrading??
And will I lose packet updates provided by asus (In the future too), if I go through with this downgrading procedure [and subsequent upgradation to android 10/Beta] ?

You'll need an unlocked Bootloader, modified firmware 72 & TWRP installed to downgrade.
Search for videos on youtube for downgrading.
