Help manual update - Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers

Can I use this firmware from asus website to update my phone? It says only for IN/RU SKU but it starts with WW the same with my device.
I live in Philippines and I still don't receive Pie update

Yes u can flash it

i'm enabling adoptable storage and everytime i tried to manually update it ended up error to update. is it really has anything to do or conflict with adoptable storage?

I've downloaded the file from Asus website and uploaded it to root directory on the phone - just in the moment when it was finished uploading, I got message if I want to install the update - smooth and easy.

sure, you can

Pie update has a lot of bugs. I kinda regret doing the manual update.

What bugs did you face ? I am on pie and haven't faced anything significant.
Although the touchscreen does sometime seem to just not work for very short periods.... They apprently patched them in previous updates... (On a side note guys, are the updates cumilative? What if i miss an update inbetween, will the fixes be applied?)
EDIT: Wiping Cache Partition seems to have mitigated the touch issue. Will update if re-occurs!

Hopefully this will also fix the video players randomly freezing and the unstable framerate even in simple games like Subway Surfers. Is there a way to file bug reports to Asus without being a beta tester?

For Non-rooted, Original Recovery and wanted to apply this update (WW Version).
- Download the OTA to your Laptop or Desktop and transfer it to your Phone or Memory Card.
- Change WW_551_0917_1104_20151105 to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip.
- Boot into recovery.
- Wait till it's done.

Hey guys, I've used the temp-cwm rooting method and apart from freezing some bloatware apps, I haven't touched anything else in the system folder neither I have installed xpozed
If I unfreeze the said apps, unroot via the supersu app and then do the OTA, I won't get any bootloops, right?

Renaming the file to "UL-Z00A-WW-2.20.40.139-user.zip" helped, it showed me the update in the system without need to go into recovery
Can anyone hook me up with the zip? I applied the update, re-rooted, and put flashed xposed again, and I got into a boot loop
Confirmed xposed bootloop issue?

Big problems after update for Android 7

Hello,
Yesterday i receive the notification for update for android nougat in my phone. The update ends without any problem but right now with this new firmware I have 3 BIG problems:
Back camera don't work > The camera apps open the front camera and i don't have the button to switch for the other camera.
Flash don't work > Flashlight app only controls the screen but do nothing to the flash.
Laser: The app for measure with the laser don´t open.
I already have done a factory reset without any success.
I already enter in safe mode without success.
I already clear all the cache without success.
Any ideas?
Are someone with the same problem?
Thanks!
Hi I updated my Zenfon 3 to Android 7 two wks ago after receive the msg from Asus. After reading your posting, I try all the problems mentioned in your article but it don't exist (maybe I'm lucky), in fact some of the pre exist (problem come with my purchase) problem such as the ear-phone connection problem has resolved. I have yet to find any major bugs in my Zenfon 3 yet. Overall I'm happy with the update.
Try reinstalling the ota. Flash via bootloader. Get the update file via asus site
I have done that but without success
I haven't experienced any issues. I factory reset right after updating though - you may want to give that a try.

If that is the case it may already be a phone issue. Flashing a device will do a clean install of the software. So any software issues should be resolved.
I suggest trying downgrading to the very first os in the asus site. Make sure you're using the same version though

Overall errors

Hi, I'm fairly new to XDA so please forgive me for my newbieness.
I recently purchased the Axon 7 but I got a lot of problems with it to which I can't find solutions here or elsewhere on the internet:
- I can't update my device, I have now A2017GV1.0.0B06 but whenever I try to update, it fails
- I can't open photos/videos in Whatsapp (crash), can't send photos/videos in Facebook messenger (just won't do it without explanation). I checked the permisions which all seem to be fine
- I got random app crashes all the time, sometimes it even uninstalls them.
- The device itself reboots every so often randomly, once or twice a day
For the most part the device works okay, but these problems just drive me insane sometimes.
Would it be a software related error, which I can maybe solve by whiping it clean all again (I had problems since the start so I doubt this would work), or by maybe rooting it?
I must say that I bought the device second hand, but it barely had been used before (everything without any scratches and fairly new in the box). So maybe that's the reason?
Many thanks,
~Pr0fviktorie
I would do a factory wrote and that the system firmware. That should solve the issues as it definitely sounds software related.

May very well be why it was sold lol.
Regarding updating firmware, the official advice is to update to B10 MM before diving straight to Nougat.
I assume the update zip file is at least detected by system updater?

I had the random reboot stuff too. Tried reflashing but what really fixed it was going to a custom ROM for a couple of months then flashing the stock recovery and installing the update from there
But if you don't wanna go the warranty voiding route do this:
Download Marshmallow B11 (I think it's 1.0.0B11)
Download Nougat B02 (I think it's 1.2.0B02 or 1.1.0B02, don't remember)
Update to Marshmallow B11
Now try updating to Nougat B02

Probably. I'm just reading off the Aus firmware instructions page! Only making sure they aren't trying to jump directly to Nougat from B06 MM.

Yeah I guess it fails because he's trying to update from B06. I'll delete the recovery part on my post just to be sure
Thanks for the suggestions, I suppose I have to do it manually?
The OTA update I am getting is MM B11, but that doesn't work. When installing it fails at around 40% and when I check why, it says that 'The system update package did not match the phone'. Would it work if I try it manually?

OnePlus 6T - System Update Installation Failed

Hi All,
I am the owner of a stock OnePlus 6T, which was recently running the latest version of Android 10 (v10.3.x) and also not rooted.
I was experiencing a jittery graphics issue with one of my favourite games, which was Mad Skills BMX 2. I contacted Turborilla Support in which they isolated the issue to the fact that Mad Skills BMX 2, had an issue with running on Android 10 and they suggested that I roll back to Android 9, which I did.
The rollback to Android 9 did not fix the jittery issue I was experiencing so I attempted to upgrade back to the latest "Official" version of Android 10 but no matter, how I try installing the Android update ZIP file whether it be version 10 or 9, I get to 99% of the installation then the process ends with an error that states "System Update Installation Failed"
I rolled back to Android 9 using the below installation file and I later found that this is beta version of OxygenOS ie OxygenOS Version.... OP6T_O2_Beta_17
Fulldowngrade_wipe_18801_181024_2027_user_MP2_release.zip
I have tried so many different fixes, ranging from OTA updates to downloading various ZIP installs and applying them using the "Local Upgrade" feature but no matter which method I try and keep on experiencing the "System Update Installation Failed" error.
I obviously installed a roll back ROM that has some how stuffed up my phone preventing, now preventing me to upgrade back up to Android 10.
Please help...
Thanks guys
why failed ?

TLDR
Use Oxygen Updater App to download the update then follow the Local Upgrade Method
Oxygen Updater: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arjanvlek.oxygenupdater&hl=en
What happened in my case:
I unlocked Bootloader. regretted
Relocked it:
Using MSM Tool Restore Method https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/how-to-update-return-to-stock-oneplus-6-t3870795
I removed the rev_OverSeas~*** file from MSM Tool~.rar EXPORT don't know if that makes a difference or not.
***"rev_OverSeas_190403_2100_release_disable_OTA-BLOCK_Signed_fp1904032100_cve2019-03-01_ufs_9.0.13"
ended up rolling back to 9.
Installed Oxygen Updater: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arjanvlek.oxygenupdater&hl=en
It downloaded: OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_024_all_1909112343_9fd6e0057b8747dc.zip
installed using the Local upgrade Method
rebooted
It was still on 9
used Oxygen Updater to check for updates again.
found: OnePlus6TOxygen_34_OTA_024_all_2005052113_26a111bd1040285.zip
Installed the updated.
DONE.

Hey there,
I think the fastboot method https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516 is still the cleanest method to get things back up and running, saved my device quite some times now.
Have a good one
Hi everyone, I discovered something that might be already known to everyone else out there but me... but probably is not known to many.
There is something everyone should know when updating.... DO NOT rename the update file, or else Oxygen OS will refuse to install it.
In my case, I was using the full OnePlus6TOxygen_34.J.55_OTA_055_all_2107132253_b2cbbb97b4eee.zip file as a local upgrade file from within the "system Updates", which is about 2 gigs in size, to upgrade to OxygenOS 10.3.12. I added the words "OxygenOS 10.3.12" to the end of the file but before the ".zip" extension.... and it would not work and I got the "System Update Installation Failed" message. I thought the file was corrupt. I re-downloaded. I checked file sizes in Windows Properties. I cleared caches. I chanted. I prayed... I thought maybe I need to change religions. Then, when just out of curiosity, I changed the file name back to its original... bingo! I did the filename change from within Android. I wonder how many other people learned this the hard way? This should be in the top 100 things that all android tinker-ers should know. "What You Should Know" for Android/OnePlus. Like an FAQ but the reverse... because an faq assumes you know what to ask, whereas a WYSK tells you what you will eventually find out the hard way . So there is my little contribution, and I hope someone else who was in a similar position finds this and it makes their day All the best You All! - Chad May

April 2021 Security Patch

(sorry, no screenshot)
25.56 MB, not much to say, it's a security patch.
I don't see the point of your post.
Had you posted a link to the update, that would give it relevance!
I do see the point of this post and I appreciate it very much!
This is the place to discuss any problems that may arise when installing the update, changes to the system anyone notices or improvements, bug fixes and new bugs.
You install the update from the update menue, so no link required.
If someone wants to post update files for people to fiddle around with and mess up their phones before complaining about it, that's fine too.
Still no download-link
Definitely relevant, as any hickups will be discussed!
No link needed.. Update is OTA in your phone
Hi. I'm pretty sure I used to have to press on the Update button for an update to be downloaded. I've always left it for a few months due to problems with past updates. I haven't changed any settings but for the last few months I've noticed it start to download a little bit whenever I'm on WI-FI and not mobile data. It then presents me with a 'Restart now' when downloaded. Has anyone else noticed this change?
