184 isnot MM. It's the latest official LP 5.0.

Do you guys realize for months we've had access to the MMS build in the forums. All you be to do I'd download and position on sdcard root and reboot to initialize install... did it myself...

We can sideload it using TWRP? Coming from custom ROM?
And now 7.1.1 Beta is here for the Robin as well ?

Hi,
I have the original rom 6.0.1 but it is unlocked with TWRP..., notification appeared to update to Nougat and the system restarted and went to TWRP.
Can I install over the current rom the file I just download via TWRP? (https://android.googleapis.com/packa...3e21e543c0.zip)
Thanks

AFAIK, you could NOT do it with custom recovery. It will brick your device.

This update has been really bad on all of my Robins. I've taken them all back to the last 6 build.
My issues experienced on four different robins:
Would not connect to LTE.
Random reboots.
Freezing and then reboots.
Phones would get extremely hot.

If this is true then I will not do the update (Nougat) until I check more reports about the same or the opposite.
I'll wait...!
I've been running the Nougat beta without issues for the last couple months. Now I'm on official 7.1.1 Beta and it's quite nice. No random reboots, no issue with LTE on T-mobile. Heat and the Snapdragon 808 basically go hand in hand though lol. I'm running Ghostpepper Interactive CPU profile and everything is even smoothier than stock lol.

I've only had my Robin for a few weeks, but I've definitely noticed 7.0 being buggy (at least in comparison to my previous Nexus 6P...) Glad to read about a beta for the Robin though. I may take a look at that before resorting to flashing a ROM like Lineage.

Beta builds are also buggy and laggy.
Lineage builds are buggy as hell and no longer maintained until the bugs are fixed.
I can recommend Omni.

Today I have received an update from Nextbit from Anroid 7.0 to Android 7.1.1 (I am not on beta channels or custom roms). Size was 540-560 MB. I did not notice change logs as I was excited to see the update suddenly. Android Security patch: April 2017

Unable to access root

I'm using asus zenfone 2 ze551ml
it's running latest build 21/9/17 of lineage os 14.1
im unable to get root access
i have checked my system folder in root directory through TWRP
Su file is present but although after allowing apps and ADB to get root access in developer setting
the ui which apparently ask for root access is not popping up
and root checker suggests that your device is not properly rooted at all
This problem came up when is switched rom lineage os 14.1 (nougat 7.1.1)
to lineage os 14.1(nougat 7.1.2)
recently updated su addons dated 25/06/2017 are having such a problem for me
plz update the su addon for X86(or firmware) or atleast give me the reason to stay on this rom
Thanks A Lot

Did you upgrade or do a full wipe?
Some stuff that I read indicated that uninstalling old su before installing the new su build was a good idea. It was released for those that had issue with the old one and not really a upgrade.
I recently did a full wipe on my phone (moto z) and used latest su on 7.1.2 without problems.
I suggest checking out what the local forum thread of your device says. If this is a device and build specific issue I'm sure some other people noticed it too.

I know what are you trying to say
That many device uses same su so check you my phones specific
But tbh what is know is there are only 5 devices running x86 cpu zenfone 2,4,5,6
And only one of them is running lineage os 14.1 other dont support officially so they use 13.0 's addon zip
That means only zenfone 2 can flash 14.1's addon su
And FYI I did wiped first
And xiomi's phine are having same problem with this popup
Finally a solution........ That after long desperate efforts worked for me. You can flash the Magisk 13.0 zip. Mind you an upgraded version will lead you to a loop to your custom recovery. Magisk 13.0 is zenfone 2 x86 architecture compatible. Good luck. Just got this solution last night. Tell me if this helped you and also if you found a better way.

ZENFONE 5 ZE620KL [OFFICIAL] Android 9 - Pie

UPDATED: Official Android Pie (9) is now available for the WW variant.
Do you want the update? Read on!
You can download from here (~1,88 GB): https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/ZenFone/ZE620KL/UL-ASUS_X00QD-ASUS-16.0610.1812.58-1.1.15-user.zip
You must be on WW 15.0619.1810.73 or Android Pie Beta in order to update! If you're on a different ROM, you may brick your phone!
Update method A:
Download the file - linked above
Put it on your phone to "Internal Storage" (root of Internal Storage, don't put it into folders like Download/DCIM/Android, whatver...)
Restart phone (Power button > Restart)
After restart, you'll get a notification, that a new software is available. Yes, install it. Wait until it's complete and you're done!
Update method B:
Download the file - linked above
Put it on your phone's SD card (this only works if you have an sd card in your phone - obviously)
Turn off phone
Hold down Volume Up and Power buttons for a couple of seconds (until the ASUS logo appears)
Choose "Apply update from SD card", choose the zip file and do the update
Reboot after done (or wipe data/cache if you want)
...or you can also use ADB to sideload the file, but I won't detail it now (unless requested).
About Pie notes
Camer is same as before.
Digital Wellbeing app isn't compatible with the device.
New gesture based navigation is working, new dark theme is available in ASUS theme app, new animations are also working.
Thank you for this information. The first method worked well with me.

Careful with that one. It says "TW SKU only", so it might not work/have issues with WW versions or CN versions.

Were you on WW 15.0619.1810.73? Because if you were on a version ending "1810.67", then the update fails.

That's the stable version released today for the Taiwanese SKU
There was a new release from Asus official website featuring the Android Pie (WW_16_0610_1812_58) like three days ago. It was featured in Asus PH and Taiwan, although I checked that two only. Although, it is unavailable since yesterday until now.
Is it safe to update this?
Ive already updated android pie with this "WW_ZE620KL-15.0619.1810.73-16.0610.1812.52-12051038-fota-user.zip" but it has many bugs. Can I update it again using this new update? Is it safe? Pls reply. If it is ok. Thanks

I updated from that one too without any issues, so it should be safe.
Is it safe to downgrade from android pie to android oreo?
Can I downgrade it back to this Version V15.0619.1810.67 Ive already update it to android pie but the problem is too many bugs. My apps has been affected too when I updated it to android pie.

The update can't be found on Asus official website any longer, this would mean something, wouldn't it? In any case, it wasn't WW version, so it isn't good for European Zenfones. Am I wrong?

I just got confused because at that time I was accessing several different Asus Website (Taiwan, India, Brazil, USA, Philippines).
Although, I was able to implement the update from
version _52 to version _58. And my SKU is WW.
But I really think I got it from Asus Philippines' official website. ?
Currently, on the Asus Taiwan official website is the only one with the software update is available when I last checked.

Anyone trying the Android Q beta on Asus Zenfone 5Z?

Hi,
I want to please know if anyone has updated the Android Q beta on the Asus zenfone 5z? If yes then have you recieved any updates on it like beta version 4 or 5?? Because this information is not getting updated on Asus's official android q beta page which is disappointing.
Please let me know so that I may then plan to try it if its getting updates since may.
Using Android Q
I am using Android Q beta on my Asus Zenfone 5z. I would suggest don't install it. It is stable enough to be used but there is no update apart from the first release. It is stuck in May 2019 update and there seems to be no movement on this. You will lose the wide-angle camera and 4k 60fps video recording. Recently I am facing issue regarding Sim card ie, If I put the phone on flight mode or restart the phone then I have no network. I have to remove the sim slot and press the phone in the same area and then it works. It is smoother than ZenUI but I would suggest don't use it yet at least till they update to latest beta.

Thanks alot! I did installed it too but few months back and immediately reverted, that why I asked being in july now. Its really disappointing Asus being so slow for flagship phones and their customer service don't even know how to resolve few things. They just tell us to go to service centres which also don't have any knowledge. They don't listen to customers and fix issues thru software updates. Pixel phones are on beta version 5 now and our may release is I believe the third and that sucks.

Yes... I'm currently on ZenUi 6.0 with Android 10 on my Zenfone 5z 100.04.44.67
I'm on 100.04.44.67 and using this update from day1 it rolled out...and According to my experience till now, I faced this issues:
1st major issue:- It has 1 major bug in my case... during the*phone call*earpiece doesn't works needs to plug-in the earphones or use in speaker mode.
2nd:-Another issue is call of duty game restarts 1 time in battleground mode in each match, the game hangs and then we need to close the*app*n launch it again. You will be in the same position in the game again. This happens only in multiplayer battleground mode and only happens once per match.
3rd:- It isn't a stable update, its a beta 1*users*Android 10 update, so there are some bugs.
Till now i have came across those bugs.....apart from this Zen Ui 6.0 on top on Android 10 is pretty nice. Stock Android with extra features just like oxygen os.
The beta 2 fixes most of the beta 1 issue and is really smooth.
