I've tested it - it works. Multilanguage (look at screenshot - not all languages), GAPPS, no chinese bloatware. NO ROOT.
SD card must be removed during flashing!
Flashing procedure:
1. Download:
- Miflash: Miflash_140509.zip
- firmware version S118: Z90a40_USR_S118_1505272046_Q2020131.4_ROW_qpst.7z
- update to version S208: Z90a40_USR_S208_1507141216_Q2020131.4_ROW_OTAFull.zip

2. Disable driver signature enforcement:

Windows 7: http://www.sabrent.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=14
3. Install Miflash program.
4. Flash new ROM:
- unzip downloaded file with the firmware
- turn off the phone
- hit VOL + and plug USB cable (phone will vibrate once)
- in Device Manager (Control Panel) new COM port should appear: Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008
- run Miflash, you should see appropriate COM port
- browse folder with downloaded firmware
- click 'flash' and wait (about 180s)
- disconnect USB cable, hit POWER key for about 10s (phone will vibrate)
- phone will restart and load new system. It takes some time - and if it hangs, please hit POWER again for 10s, it will reboot again and it should proceed
5. Update to version S208:
- download file Z90a40_USR_S208_1507141216_Q2020131.4_ROW_OTAFull.zip, rename it to 'update.zip'
- copy to phone memory or SD card
- reboot to recovery (turn off the phone, hit vol +- and hit power)
- install update package (it will take some time), reboot (first start will take few minutes)
6. (Optional) Reflash or return to chinese version:
- in ROW version it is impossible to enter download mode with VOL+ and plug USB cable - you can do this only with ADB command
- turn on the phone, let the system start
- plug USB cable, make sure ADB Debugging is ON
- execute ADB command: 'adb reboot edl'
- phone will restart in download mode
- now you can run Miflash

No, probably you have chinese version with added languages. Post screenshot with firmware version.
But you can flash this ROM anyway.
Thats it
It's chinese version.

"the system cannot find the file specified.(0x80070002. Open serial port "\\.\COM10")"

Asus zenfone 5 is one of the best devices from the Asus and recently it
also got the lollipop 5.0 update as promised by the company but this is
not the topic I am here to discuss the most easy way to root your asus
zenfone 5 and I already published a video guide on it on our YouTube
channel its HowTrends. So, those guys who are facing problems and tried
a lot of thing to root asus zenfone 5 and at the end they failed, we
recommend them to go through this simple, easy and one click root
procedure.
This rooting procedure is tested on the Asus Zenfone 5 (CG501) Android
Lollipop 5.0 and Android Kitkat 4.4.2 V2.21.40.44 and working fine.
However if something goes wrong by your mistake then please don't held
I m not responsible for it, so go ahead at your own risk ..
Pre-Required files:
1.Asus Zenfone 5 Lollipop Rootkit
Http://d-h.st/0S31
2. Asus Zenfone 5 Kitkat Rootkit
www.mediafire.com/download/mjg542cd5w8my7w/HowTrends-RootZenFone5KitKatv4-ww.zip
3. Intel adb drivers for PC
www.mediafire.com/download/hxjosurat8o6ubk/HowTrends-IntelAndroidDrvSetup1.1.5.exe
Step to Root Asus Zenfone 5 Lollipop/Kitkat:
Download intel drivers and install it to your PC and the download the
RootKit as per your android version lollipop or kitkat to your PC. (i.e for
kitkat download kitkat root kit and for lollipop download lollipop root kit)
Enable usb debugging on your asus zenfone 5. To enable it first go to
settings > about phone > system information > build number. Tap 7 times
on build number and you will get the devloper settings in your android
settings.
Go to developer settings and enable USB debugging and connect your
phone with PC via usb cable and you will get a popup on your phone
select there always allow.
Refer pic 1
This is all you need to do with your Asus Zenfone 5. Now go to the folder
where you downloaded the root kit.
Rootkit will be a zip file so first unzip it and then press and hold shift
button and right click on file folder and you will see "open command
window here" option. choose it.
Now in command box type "adb devices" (without comma) and hit enter
and if you get "demon started successfully" message in command then
close that command and go ahead to the next step. otherwise try again
all above steps.
Refer pic 2
This will be the final step, open file Root-zenfone.bat and wait till that
window close automatically, during this process your phone will be
rebooted 4-5 times but no need to worry it is the part of the rooting
process.
Once your device bootup and starts then search for SuperSu app in your
app list, if supersu app is there it means you have successfully rooted your Asus Zenfone 5 then you can unplug your device from PC and enjoy the root features to your Asus Zenfone 5.

Worked for me, first time itself. Thanks for your effort. Now that my phone is rooted can you kindly refer me to sources where I can upgrade it to Lollipop. I've read many tutorials where they've shown how to upgrade to Lollipop from KitKat on a non-rooted device, but mine is rooted, so how do I upgrade?
Thanks, awaiting your reply.

First go to bootloader then recovery in recovery select reset option bootloop will b solved thank you
After installing the device drivers just update it in the device driver and repeat the process
Revive Dead/Hard Bricked/Dead after Flash/LED doesn't light up the phone - K8 Note (XT1902-3)
If you tried to downgrade from Oreo to Nougat and your device is hard-bricked. Don't worry, follow the procedure below...
1. If your device is fully hard bricked and doesn't boot up by pressing the power button, and also the white LED light doesn't light up while u connect the charger/power on the USB to the PC. Try pressing all the 3 buttons, Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Button for about 25-30 seconds and connect your phone through USB to SP Flash Tool (install all drivers before as said in step 3) and see whether it detects your phone (If it detects, go to step 3). If this also didn't work, don't get panic - follow step 2 (Dismantling your device - the only way to recover. But be cautious while doing it, use proper tools).
2. Remove your phone back cover carefully and disconnect the battery connector as shown in the video
. Use proper tools and a screwdriver. Connect the charger and see now, the LED light will blink surely (If it doesn't blink now also, then it's a hardware problem, you should go to the service centre only).
3. If the LED light blinks properly, then go to SP Flash Tool (download the latest version here - https://androidmtk.com/smart-phone-flash-tool), and in Options->Option go to Download and check USB Checksum and Storage Checksum. Then choose the option Download Only in the drop-down list. (Dont Forget to install all Drivers before - MTK Drivers and Lenovo USB Driver, links below)
MTK (USB DA COM,Preloader USB VCOM,USB Port,USB VCOM) Drivers : https://spflashtool.com/download/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip
Lenovo USB Driver : https://lenovousbdriver.com/download/lenovo-driver-v1-1-33
(CAUTION : Don't select Format all+Download because if you mistakenly chose Format All+Download option it will delete all your IMEI no, Device Serial no, WIFI MAC address, and Bluetooth Address. But don't worry you can retrieve it through this method : https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-12328.html or
. Make sure you know all your IMEI no, and device serial no {You can get that from your device box, there will be a label in it}.
4. In the Scatter-Loading file click Choose and load MT6797_Android_scatter.txt under the extracted Oreo Rom (whichever version you prefer)

Downgrade to Nougat from Oreo - K8 Note
1. First Unlock your bootloader through the following steps:
(Before this take a backup of all your files, apps, and data because it will factory reset your mobile)
{Unroot your phone if you're rooted, also Uninstall any modules or Xposed or rooted apps if installed}
i) Go to Settings->About Phone and Tap on Build number for about 7 times, this will enable the Developer Options. Now go to Settings->Developer Options, switch ON it, and enable OEM unlocking & USB debugging.
ii) Next, Go to Fastboot mode manually. Switch off your phone. Press Volume UP+Power Button at the same time. While the phone vibrates release the power key and hold the Volume up button. You will see three options. Select fastboot option using the Volume UP key (for scrolling) and select it using Volume Down Key (for selecting).
iii) Extract minimal_adb_fastboot zip file on your PC -> https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767103465, and press Shift+Right Click inside the extracted folder and give open the command window here. Then Connect the mobile to your PC using a USB.
iv) Then type : fastboot oem unlock {Note: This will wipe all your phone data & make it as new, so take a backup of all before doing it} (Then press the Volume Up key in your mobile after it prompts)
vi) Type : fastboot reboot (It will boot up your phone normally)
vii) That's it now you have unlocked your bootloader successfully

3. Extract the downloaded zip file and Go to Fastboot mode manually as mentioned before. (Switch off, Press Volume UP+Power button at same time. Release Power button while phone vibrates. Then Choose Fastboot option using Volume Up Key and select it using Volume Down Key)
4. Connect the USB Cable from phone to PC and Double click the flashall.bat file inside the downloaded zip. {Rename flashall.txt in the attachment to flashall.bat, if you didn't find it from the downloaded zip}. This will flash the Nougat Rom fully on your device. Sit Back for some time, and relax.

7. Then select Restart System now in Recovery Mode (Volume Up and Volume Down to Select between options and Power Button to OK). Viola...!!! Your system will reboot and your'e on Nougat Rom...!!!
{Note : After downgraded to Nougat, you won't get OTA update to Oreo. But you can get all the OTA updates of Nougat. Main thing: Don't use "fastboot oem lock" in downgraded Nougat Rom it may brick your device. Because while you lock the oem in downgraded version, the system updates will look for Oreo Rom so it wont boot as you already downgraded. If it's bricked try flashing Oreo Stock Rom using spflash tool. So try keep the "device unlocked. Orange Status......" text that comes while you boot up, always in downgraded Nougat Rom}
Follow the procedure correctly so you can retrieve your K8 Note, don't blame me if you totally damaged/bricked your device.
Hit Like and Press Thanks...!!!!
If you have any doubts you can mail me at [email protected]

If u have installed twrp in oreo get rid of that and go for stock oreo recovery, if u have rooted already on oreo means unroot your mob, uninstall xposed/magisk manager if it's there. Then start the process with unlocked bootloader, go to fastboot mode and run flashall.bat inside the Stock Nougat Rom zip. After the process finished successfully the device will boot automatically. You may get some errors or not, no probs about it, go to recovery mode manually and factory reset your mobile. Restart the mob. This will surely work. Go for it...
Anyways, I feel good that you retrieved your phone back through Oreo Rom. :good:
Thanks, man Much appreciate. I have followed your instruction and I succeeded. XDA always rocks.

You must flash oreo stock again
OMG! It works!! Tested on J701F
I had to OEM unlocked because the touch screen stopped working after the phone automatically updated to OREO 8.1 (because the touch screen was replaced and obviously Samsung dropped support for non-oem touch panels in this update) so I have looked everywhere for solution until I found it here http://www.technocaretricks.com/samsung-j701f-touch-not-working-after-update-to-8-1-oreo/
But flashing that TAR file wasn't possible without changing the RMM state.
Thanks a lot, you are a lifesaver

PC time bro
First. Do the process and flash oreo stock again and then you can see the oem unlock option.. After that you can flash twrp and the rom that you want
deleted.
Thanks. I follow instructions and I can manage to flash twrp
And helios kernel.the only thing I notice after all those flashing is when I check dev option is OEM unlock is gone again. But don't care this moment because I manage to root my phone and that is ok. thanks again

Try draining the phone's battery via otg, then hold vol up and plug in usb to computer to download mode.
@a_al_khaled1 you need to provide a bit more info and answer to those questions:
1. Were you bootloader unlocked?
2. What option and partitions you have checked to flash via LGUP?

This is what appears when I try to boot or download mode https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xvEqf1FszSxvMXhJMq-QFM2yIIXwAre7/view?usp=drivesdk
Now we are getting there...
Can you remember OS Oreo version you were using and if your device has AT&T branding or it was a Google - Fi one?

V350ULM10i
Amazon version
Now everything is clear.
Try holding and not releasing volume - and power while the phone boots and reboots into fastboot 6 times in a row then release only Vol- while still holding power - phone will change active boot slot and will boot into slot _b (if it was bootable before of course).
If this does not happen then your only way to restore it is via JTAG.
Contact this guy.

Yes, I know - you have 75% Korean pie with leftovers from Amazon Oreo (your abl misc and ftm partitions are still from Oreo while the rest is from Pie).
You can enter into 9008 mode for JTAG flashing so just contact the guy and ask him to flash to you back amazon LAF partition, afterwards you will have properly working download mode and you can restore the whole amazon kdz.
@vlad48 I am in the same situation, however mine is the AT&T variety, I tried swapping to boot_b a couple times and no luck. Is my only option to do the 9008 mode for JTAG flashing?
E: I have backups of Boot_a/b, abl_a/b, and xdl_a/b if that is worth anything. However my phone isn't detected by LGUP anymore. I was on oreo 8.0.0 with the july 2018 security update.
Yes - the only way apart from sending it back to AT&T is to flash back your Oreo partitions via JTAG - in your case easiest way will be to re-lash US Open KDZ.

What variant do you have?
If you're running AT&T firmware, you don't have fastboot flash commands.
You have to convert to another firmware via Dev Patched LGUP.

The AT&T V35 I bought from @bacon612 was flashed to Google Fi firmware.
This or US unlocked 'i' are good candidates.

I'm going to look into that one. Thanks for the recommendation. Also, I was able to use LGUP to flash the Korean KDZ. It seemed to work fine, and does now. It flashed perfect, my data was intact until I had to restart my phone a while later and then it was all gone. Looked factory out of the box. However it is smooth as a baby's bottom now.
