Rooted AZMPM1. Phone downloaded a FOTA Update. Should I install it directly? - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

Or should I unroot and lock bootloader? It's a tedious process and I'd rather not do it. Or is there a chance that the update will install just fine?
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

The update will probably fail to install since it will detect modifications (I assume you have TWRP or modified system partition)

Yes I do. Coz there's the notification about it that I can't remove. What do I do? Thanks.

You should disable / freeze FOTA service to get rid of persistent update notification

To what folder does OTA get downloaded?

i would like to know to which folder the OTA's get automatically downloaded.
you see, i have a stock g2, rooted s-off, i have a custom recovery, bacon bits and all that. however, i never updated my phone with an OTA.. and so for a time now i would get an OTA and keep postponing it.. then it would go away again for good.. until recently it started popping up yet again.
so this morning i decided that i would update. my current build is 1.19.531.1 and the update would take me to 1.22.xxx something build.
so i clicked "restart & install" and it restarted and took me to recovery (i have clockwork recovery). but it didnt automatically install the update. so i tried doing it manually within recovery and didnt know which folder to point to.
i ended up rebooting and my build version didn't change, but when i go to system updates it says that i'm up to date now.
can anyone help me out with this?
thank you!
There will be a file in your /cache folder.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
In the main OTA thread we found the URL, so you can just download it again manually: http://android.clients.google.com/p...MOUS_2.15.531.3-1.22.531.8_release_197463.zip
WHAT!

Unroot S4 mini (already on stock rom)

Hi I can find loads of guides to unrooting when stock rom needs flashing, but I am already running stock rom so don't really want to go thought the hassle of losing everything again.
I read a post that said I need to delete SU binary, but tried with root explorer and it wont let me delete it says it's read only
Any tips on how I can unroot when I am already on the correct official rom?
Thanks

Yes that appears to have worked thanks, but I still can't do official updates it can still tell phone has been modified? What now? Thanks

Do you have a custom recovery installed? That will stop it. You may have to Odin back to complete stock to get it to update
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Oh yeah! Forgot about that, that makes sense. I was so close it let me do the update with Kies and rebooted, appeared to work just fine but killed my wifi, wont even let me turn wifi on strange...
OK so there was no shortcut, without a part brick so I had to re-install in Odin, thanks anyway for you help

How to downgrade firmware on Zenfone 2 Laser?

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?

But if u Go from Marshmallow to Lollipop in ZOOL it won't do u any good moreover u would loose your VOLTE update

Don't think it will work , you need root for s health because knox is tripped but then you don't get any ota update.

This device is very new, so you should wait for people to start work on it. If you have any knowledge, start by making a custom recovery or similar

Was The root successful? Works the root with no Problems?
The root works. The correct procedure is: wipe data from recovery. Don't boot the Phone and go directly into download mode. Root the phone
