Ah! I'm PLK-L01C432B121 so I'm guessing that's B121 then?
I tried the updater and it said no updates available so is B121 the up to date firmware for the UK??
Also, does this updater update the firmware as well as the Android operating system i.e Lollypop to Marshmallow ?
yes, it's exactly what it does

yeah its easy bro just do what i say download this file (i will gave link in the last of comment ) its update from b121 to 130 and then i will gave the link of update from b130 to b140 and if u intressting so i will gave the last link its to Android M from b140 to b320 and u asking now how ?
u will get a file called Update and so u will creat a new foldar in sd card or in ur phone and u have to change the name to dload and u will put the Update inside and so u finsh u will go to uppdate center and then menu and then local and so u will find the file press on it and so the phone will restart and will finsh it self and then do the same thing again to the next update.
impo Note:
u have to unroot if u are rooted
u have to uppdate one by one like from b121 to b130 and then to b140 and so.. not from b121 to b140 .
sorry for bad english i gave u everything u need. i did that to my phone and it work with me and shoud work with u

Ha! Great minds thinking alike! I haven't used the links above (yet) as further checking on the Honor site under downloads still listed the B121 as the latest update from late last year. Think my plan will be to hang fire and see if it updates to Marshmallow in the coming weeks like the web is saying it will.

Yes, i think to wait as well as i read some threads about dead phones after manual updates and i don't want to lost my new phone
EDIT: I didn't hold on and i flashed the updater file (B121>B140) that you can find it here. I flashed it and all went well.
EDIT 2: I've also flashed 140>170 zip and so far so good is better than 121 initially version.
Edit 3: I'm going to install as well 170>180 update from general section
Edit 4 (FINAL): Upgraded, satisfied, chrome is not lagging so frequently any more and now i can access online theme store. Before once opened the theme app it only showed me the local themes available
Hello to everyone.
I would kindly ask for your help.
A friend of mine has a zenphone 5. She is experiencing various problems with the playstore synching, viber synching etc and getting errors with play services.
The phone is on android Kit Kat (4.4.2 if I recall correctly).
As I am more experienced with phones, she asked to me to have a look at it and see what can be done.
I do not want to root the phone and/or install an unofficial rom (like lineage) as I will not be the one using the phone, and my friend is completely unaware of what to do in case there is a problem with the phone.
So my best thing would be to perform a backup, then wipe all data and finally update the firmware to the latest official available version.
As I never had an asus phone before (I am more experienced in rooting/updating unofficial roms etc to sony and samsung phones) I kindly ask for your help.
The phone is a zenphone 5 T00F has a WW sku. I attach a screenshot of the firmware version. I found on asus website and downloaded the latest firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.540-user.
How do I install it?
Also, I believe that there is also a lollipop official update for this phone? Where can I find it and how can I Install it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.
Hello , you want the phone to be in stock rom , right ? @madvinegar
1) update to latest kitkat version by ota updates . Latest kitkat version is 2.22.40.540
2) if you want to update to android l then after updating to latest kitkat just place the file (rom update zip ) into internal storage ( not inside any folder just in the internal storage ) . A pop up will come just tap it the update will be done .
3) But if pop up does not come then just reboot your phone once . The latest version of lollipop which you need to download is 3.24.40.87
Alternatively you can sideload the official firmware , if you know how to :laugh: just make sure you download the rom as per your device sku
stock rom official

Yes you are right. I had to scroll further down.
One odd thing happened.
As you have seen in the screenshot I uploaded in my 1st post, the SKU of the phone seems to be WW.
So I downloaded the update for WW, but when I tried to apply it, I got an error saying that the update failed. I think the reason was that the SKU found on the phone was "CUCC". How can this be...?
In any case I am downloading now the firmware update 2.22.40.540 for CUCC and I will try again. What is the difference between CUCC and WW...?
Also, I don't see that there is a lollipop update for CUCC. Can I use the SKU of another firmware? i.e. WW?

So in my case I will have to download and install first the WW 1.14 (not the CN 1.14) since my formware now is the ASUS_T00F_WW_user_1.13.40.8_20140516_17063.
Correct?

Yes , else the best way is to get a stock based modified rom like gecko premium, mnml rom which is lollipop rom based on official lollipop .87 firmware . Unlock bootloader flash the rom , lock the bootloader again .

So, I finally managed to solve the problem and update the zenphone 5 to lollipop.
My problem was the recovery image which was either faulty and/or different version from the firmware. To be precise, the recovery was CUCC, while the firmware was WW.
So, to solve the problem I did the following:
1. Using fastboot, I flashed the latest recovery image from WW 2.22.40.540
2. Again using fastboot, I flashed the latest fastboot image from WW 2.22.40.540.
3. Then using ADB I flashed the latest firmware WW 2.22.40.540
So, after successfully flashing the latest kitkat firmware WW 2.22.40.540, then I downloaded the latest lollipop firmware WW 3.24.40.87, placed the zip file inside the internal storage of the phone and rebooted. After reboot, a notification was waiting for me to update to lollipop. I pressed OK to continue, the phone rebooted, installed the firmware, updated all android apps, and ... voila ... the phone rebooted to Android Lollipop 5.0
@Boomshiva I thank you very much for all your kind help and guidance.

I was trying to sideload the firmware many times, but I was getting an error.
Only after I flashed first the correct recovery image, I managed to sideload the firmware.
All is well now.
I just got to the WW version which is converted from the CN one ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-zoom/how-to/transfer-cn-rom-to-ww-rom-ze553kl-t3612990 ). My Zen 3 is the US version, but I did some dumb things and my phone couldn't start so I had to flash the rom above. But now I got a problem. I can't get any update from Asus anymore. My phone is still on the android 6.0 tho. Is there any way to get the newest update ? At least how can I return to the manufacture's rom ? ( Sorry for my bad English, hopefully you guys can get the point I really need your helps )
Hi everyone, I am facing a dilemma while rooting my TA-1033 that is currently on build no. 00WW_5_22A_SP01
I want to have a full firmware file to flash in case something goes wrong during the process.
Can anyone link me to the correct firmware, or is there perhaps cross compatibility between different models
e.g. I may be able to flash TA-1021 firmware?
Thanks in advance for your help

You came to right place, but let me tell u
To get official and regular update, u need to follow some steps
I can guarantee that u will be on ur official ta-1033 not on other ta-10xx
Here are the steps
1. Goto this link
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/updated-mirror-link-ota-monthly-updates-t3733784
2. Download only mena firmware and December OTA zip from first row
3. Goto recovery (stock one, if u dont have then flash the stock recovery through twrp) install December OTA zip, you will get error but dont worry, just reboot
4. if u now see the nougat stock recovery then u r downgraded the bootloader too.
5. Reboot into bootloader or download mode.
6. Install mena firmware( i know it shows ta-1033 in setting menu but internally its ta-1025)(just dony worry).
7. After flashing mena firmware, connect to wifi network and hit system updates, u will get the official 8.0.0 either January or February ota update directly.( Remember this official update will change your ta-1025 to ta-1033 internally and make u official again)
8. After official oreo 8.0.0, you will get next monthly updates
i.e., February, Marchh then 8.1.0 March, then april
Done you will be on ur official ta-1033, not on ta-1025(mena)
I did few days ago and m on my regular and official ta-1021
Enjoy
Thanks for your help, I'll test it out tomorrow and let you know if I encounter any problems!

Happy flashing
A question,
I updated the phone to the last firmware for my device G975FXXU8CTG4 and in the update amongst fixes it was said not possible downgrade to lower versions. Is it still possible to flashing it back to lower , Pie or earlier versions of Android Q. ? Havent opened Odin yet, i just want to verify by you guys if its still possible to downgrade from this version ?
Thanks
Only Firmware with same number, for example you have XXU8 and Flash XXU7 Firnware, this isn't working.
Sorry for my bad english, im german.
