Hi, I am not happy with the latest update (V1.15.40.639) and would like to downgrade to the previous one (V1.13.40.496). I read on zentalk forum that we can downgrade by downloading the latter firmware from asus site(http://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-2-Laser-ZE550KL/HelpDesk_Download/) and place it on SD card root. The reboot to the recovery and select something like "apply update from external". Can someone confirm if this will work? Is there an easy enough and confirmed way to downgrade the firmware. Any help will be much appreciated.
Edit: The method works!
Haven't done that but it should work, if you face any app crashes you will need to reset phone
Pls don't downgrade it will kill ur phone

Have you tried it? If it goes dead, do you think Asus service center will be able to revive it?
No but have heard that software cannot be downgraded in any phone

He is wrong xD
Like I said the you'd face app crashes which you can fix by resetting phone.
If you are not comfortable to do this then simply go to service center and tell them you want certain update flashed for whatever reason.

Did you actually go into recovery and flash the previous firmware or just let the phone detect the firmware and install it by itself?

I placed the update on sd card. Booted to recovery. cleared data and cache and applied the update via SD Card method. The cleared cache once more and rebooted.Voila!
This method is going to wipe all user data???
Probably a reboot would do the same result.
I have, like many others, the latest firmware and I didn't encounter no problems. So definitely is not the firmware itself.

LOL. That's one question I never ask. It's always a good idea to do a backup before any update, especially if it's a full firmware flash and not an OTA update.
No. I only wiped cache and it seems to have kept the data intact at the time. I had a backup for safety's sake but I did not need to restore it.
Can We root the phone after downgrading it to lollipop using Kingroot?

I had my Tmo S5 rooted and I tried to OTA update. I forgot to uninstall it and now I cant get the OTA. Idk what update it was if it was Lollipop or not. Right now Im on a stock 4.4.2 now non-rooted. How to I get the proper update OTA or do I just say FACK IT and reroot and just flash with a custom Lollipop ROM?

It won't brick anything if you follow the onscreen instructions to the point. No it doesn't matter that I gave you a UK link. If you're afraid of losing personal data (apps/photos) make a full nandroid backup and copy that to your pc, then copy all your personal photos and files to your pc. Then download and install Kies and follow the onscreen instructions. :good:

Okay...Im gonna give it a try. LOL. Thank you very much. OH, will this "flash" my phone meaning I will lose all my app and app data along with settings and everything? I havent done a stock update...I know when you do ROMS you should always clean and flash...sometimes you can flash over...but stock stuff...dunno what to expect.

No you're not supposed to lose anything. The word "flash" in this context comes from the act of writing data to the flash based ROM chips. So to "flash" means to "write".
I told you to make a full backup in recovery and a manual backup of your files just in case you are worried. But it's always good to make backups.
Generally when flashing roms, I follow these three simple steps:
1 Make a full backup of your current rom in recovery
2 Flash new rom without wiping (aka dirtyflash), see if it works
3 Only if apps start bugging and crashing do a full wipe and flash new rom again

So I updated to G900VVRU2DPF4 and my phone was working fine until when I rebooted one of these times. Now I am getting 'Unfortunatly Sytem UI has stopped.' so I hit ok then the sreen goes blank with my homescreen wallpaper (and starts blinking from black to the wallpaper Except when I hit the lock button then It locks) and I can't do a thing. I recently turned off ADB on the phone so I can't do nothing there and I tried clear cache that did not work. I read that I need to erase the data on the system ui under setting, apps... but I can't even get into setting. I DO NOT WANT TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE and erase all my files. There must be a way to fix it. I tried remote controlling via wifi (like with google's device manger and Samsung findmyphone) but now the phone won't connect to wifi for some reason it won't turn on. I am trying to sideload Samsung Good Lock because that might fix it also but I can't. I need help big time. When I connect it the the computer it kinda read it but I can't get files off the phone but it shows up and Unassuming Kies/Smart Switch does not work either. There must be a fix without loosing data. Help Please? :'-(
P.S. I tried adb sideload the PF4 updated in recovery and that did not fix it.

No I am not. Fully stocked. I had good lock installed before but I turned on finger unlock and good lock did not support finger unlock so it uninstalled.

My only problem is that I have fast internet but since I don't have a premium account on sammobile it will take 2 hours that why I was asking about SamFirm tool.

SamFirm ONLY allows to download the latest firmware (which is PF4), and we need PD1 :good:
If you were rooted we could have just done an "adb shell" into your phone and gotten all the data off, or simply use the built-in File Manager of Safestrap or TWRP.

You need to download Odin, then download one of the recent firmwares like PD8 etc. Put your phone in download mode, hook it to your computer, open Odin, click AP then pick the firmware file you downloaded and hit start.
You should have Odin from when you rooted and you can find the firmware file on the forum here. Just search for PD8 or PG1.
You soft bricked your device. no big deal Samsung makes it fairly easy to fix. Download Smart Switch to your computer and use the Emergency Software Recovery/ initialization process to recover your device. You will have to re initialize your device and you will lose everything on your internal storage but your phone will be fine.
Again the root method discovered uses an ENG boot and is not meant for every day use it is not true root and will always cause more issues than it is worth.
Just got November ota update in 60mb i am just curious to know if it is gonna lock the bootloader.
UPDATE-/ BOOTLOADER STILL UNLOCKED I TESTED & DOWNGRADED TO 5.1.1 OK1 .
I just received it as well. I use my phone for work so it's encrypted but could you try to downgrade and let's us know what happened
Yes, you can still downgrade to 4.4.4 with the new update
This update should give me enough time to read the details of the update before it reboots my phone in the 25 seconds. At that point, we don't have the ability to "abort" or decline the agreement anyway.
Note 4 tmo, downloads the 60mb update, phone enters recovery mode then i get "update failed phone will recover the original configuration" .
I'm full stock, no root, no custom recovery no nothing. Anyone could help me?
I'd recommend you use the desktop version of ODIN with the latest FULL ROM to restore your device (without wiping) to the version before the OTA update. You can then try the update process again.

I encountered the same error last night. I held POWER + VOLUME DOWN to boot into Recovery mode, then I rebooted to System. My phone went through the app optimization process (you know, the screen that you'd see after wiping the Cache/Dalvik Cache).
I assumed that the update failed, but when I checked "About Device," I noticed that it now has the November 1, 2016 security patch (Baseband Version N910TUVS2EPK2).

I have custom ROM and Custom Recovery TWRP.
Will updating the Modem and Bootloader cause me to have to reinstall the ROMS?
Thanks in advance
I was installing TWRP and superuser and something failed. Now the phone soft resets and bounces between TWRP and Huawei eRecovery. Does anyone have a L29C567 firmware I can flash? I've done some searching and there doesn't seem to be any sources for the firmware yet. Just trying to get the phone working again.
I think I could use FunkyHuawei if they had the firmware but I don't believe they do yet.
Edit: Looks like I put this in the wrong sub forum, sorry
Please be patient. Soon enough it will be available.

I lost all the google apps and the keyboard when I tried to updated from B110 to B136 using step 7 "flash hw_data" but got it all back when with dloading back to B110.

Update worked and I'm now on B158 which is awesome! The only thing that's odd now is that my MEID is 000000000000. I'm not sure if that's a big deal.

Step 5 to 9 is to restore the Missing application and data i recommend do this steps again.
If you have boot loop boot to stock recovery and do factory reset.

If everything is working fine no need, maybe later if you decide to rebrand to original usa version.

That's what I was thinking. I might try another factory reset just to test it.

The update you got via system update is a small update or full firmware?

Reset didn't solve it. I think the update was over 2gb so full firmware.

When that happened to me I flashed the update_full_hw_spcseas.zip folder through dload (vol up + down + power) to get the phone booting again.

Sorry to resurrect the old thread but I am having the same problem with meid number all zeros. The phone seems to work fine except that I cannot get LTE or 4G on certain provider's. Mine is also the US version. What did you do to fix this issue?
