WW_15.0405.1803.99 Released? - Asus Zenfone 4 (2017) Questions & Answers

Zentalk forums claims that stock firmware WW_15.0405.1803.99 is released but I can't find it on the Asus support page. Anyone knows where it is?

I spent awhile looking for it as well couldn't find it

Is this update only for OTA devices and those with unlocked boot-loaders excluded from this update?

It's up now

Asus web site is always later then phone OTA, today (11-4-2018) the web site can download the upgrade file.

Now is there an easy way to install this with TWRP?

I use the same TWRP version as the last few updates

How do you do that? Anytime I try and install the stock ROM zip with TWRP, I get some error 7 message and refuses to install.

U can't flash the stock ASUS Rom with twrp. U need to reflash the stock boot.img and the stock recovery. Then update. Then reflash twrp.

How do you get the stock recovery? The one online is outdated and won't update to the latest rom.

[Q] OTA Updates on rooted, unlocked, TWRP Phone?

Hi All
I have a nexus 9 with an unlocked bootloader, root (from CF auto-root), and TWRP installed, currently on 5.0.1 LRX22C. I have read this means that I will not be able to complete an OTA due to lack of stock recovery and changes within the system files that the OTA will check.
So my question is how much of stock do I have to return to be able to do the OTA to 5.0.2 and 5.1 later today. I am hoping that I won't have to do a factory reset and wipe all the files and apps, but if so nevermind.
Do I have to relock the bootloader?
Do I have to flash back to stock completely or can I just flash a stock recovery?
If I wait will a flashable zip be created by someone, that would allow me to keep unlocked and rooted?
If this has been asked before, I am sorry, I have searched but couldn't find any clear answers that were related to lollypop.
I am used to samsung phones and the nexus ADB sideloading ect. is taking me a while to get used to, so any link to a guide would be very appreciated.
Thanks for any help,
OTA appears to checksum the entire partitions, so even remount RW could have an effect (with no intentional accesses, depending how the filesystem works). However, this doesn't make a lot of sense since any update is going to struggle to replicate the same raw filesystem data reliable - maybe this is why we are seeing 5.0.2 OTAs fail on 'stock' devices.

Do not relock your bootloader. It is not necessary.
Since you are rooted with a custom recovery, if you want to take the OTA, you will have to fastboot flash the stock 5.0.1 system.img, recovery.img, boot.img, and vendor.img.
IMHO, it's just as easy to fastboot flash the 5.0.2 factory images and forget about the OTA.

Okay well I think I will wait until the 5.1 factory image is released, backup my phone, then fastboot flash it.
I guess I will then have to reroot and add TWRP again?

Do it in the other order. Fastboot flash TWRP, then flash SuperSU from inside TWRP. Very easy.

LMY48I OTA Update on LTE and TWRP states wrong device

I've hunted around the forum but can't quite see this issue.
I've rooted and unlocked the bootloader and installed the latest TWRP recovery on my Nexus 9 LTE.
I'm aware that TWRP is for the wifi only model, so when I try and flash the latest LMY48I update via recovery and the zip file, TWRP states that the update is for "flounder_lte" and my device is "flounder". (the device is flounder lte but clearly having twrp installed is causing this error)
Is there a another way of updating my lte device so I can install the OTA update ???
@beej199
What "update" are you trying to flash?
The official OTA can only be sideloaded via stock recovery.
And the factory image has to flashed via fastboot, from bootloader.
The lte zip from here....
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/10/download-nexus-4-5-6-7-9-10-ota-stagefright-patches/
So it would be possible to install via fastboot?
Is there a guide for how an update (rather than a full system image) can be installed you could point me to?
thanks!

No. This is an OTA. You have to have stock recovery, stock (non rooted) system, and stock kernel.
If you want to fastboot flash the factory image, download it from here > https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Then follow this guide for a "how to" (use the Long Method. Flash_All does not work) > http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-flash-t3035153

[Q] [TWRP] Stuck in recovery after OTA update

Hello guys,
I need your help. I have a L7 II P710 and have intalled the rootable KDZ version months ago, but now I installed an OTA update accidentally and stucks since in the recovery (twrp). I checked all threads for a solution and tried to flash the new P710 V20C EUROPE OPEN version to repair the problem, but with several methods from the LG Flash Tool 2014 I could not solve the problem and still stuck in the recovery. Now I could need support from experts like you!
It would be glad when someone could assist me in this problem.
Greets, Bagerfahrer
If you have working TWRP, try to flash some of custom roms' like CM10.2 first. After that (if your device boot normaly), you may flash stock kk europe open.
And more details please, like version before ota upgrade, your country, simlock status etc.

Thanks for your reply. I could solve the problem... I downloaded a stock kdz version that doesnt include the twrp recovery or something else. After that I could boot normally up and down. Then I flashed the new rootable that includes TWRP and all works fine. But now there is a OTA update again and I would like to apply this update, but with the TWRP recovery it is not possible. Is there any way to restore the stock recovery without flash a stock rom?
My kdz contains pached bootloader (APPSSBL), and after upgrade via ota you have brick.
If you want this upgrade (why if you can flash my v20c?), you must flash back original RECOVERY and APPSSBL, extracted from your present original rom kdz.
And unroot your device.
Or you may simply flash original kdz.
After ota upgrade, no longer root is possible.
I flashed your 20c version (this was meant with "the new rootable [rom] that includes TWRP"), but my smartphone shows me every time the possibilty to update. Actually i don't need this update and tried to deactivate the OTA updater. I deactivated the update manager from my lg and disabled the notification but it still shows me the message to update. Could I backup the app via TitaniumBackup and delete it?

Yes, good idea. I recommend you to backup whole rom with TWRP. Just disable screen timeout in TWRP before performing backup.
Actually there is a solution. Its better not to use FOTA update if u have custom recovery.But also attached file can help.Sometimes.Helped me with v20D updates. Just flash it via recovery.

Update patches twrp!

So if you've updated to the new security patch. It patches twrp. Meaning you can flash it. But it instantly get patched by the stock recovery. Im thinking if we can find a way to downgrade the firmware. We can get twrp and root and the custom roms :highfive: Bc
we can use the fastboot to get into twrp and flash something to downgrade us but thats about it. If you can Id really love the help of you guys! Just don't update to the new patch. I did with twrp causing this whole mess on my end .
anyone please dont let this thread die we need to get this fixed

it's common sense you need stock recovery and stock system to use an OTA update.
And yes if you choose to install an OTA update with TWRP installed it will get replaced with stock recovery.
It's no big deal you can use the dload/update.app method to update the phone and then simply boot TWRP and Install the TWRP.img from TWRP
by using Install / Image / yourTWRP.IMG
idk i tried to flash the test build and it oem flashed and Now I need a puk code

EEa(EU) rom 10.3.3.0 update

EEa(EU) rom 10.3.3.0 update
Received it too yesterday and all is ok.
Does anyone know how to flash that update using TWRP? I have rooted my Stock ROM with TWRP, and the Update is downloaded OTA and then reboots to recovery, but TWRP obviously is unable to install it: First it doesn't ask for the password to decrypt the data partition and shows the crypted content of the partition, making it impossible to see or select the downloaded update. A reboot into recovery decrypts the data partition and shows the downloaded Update (as a ZIP) in the folder /downloaded_rom. I tried to install that ZIP from TWRP manually, but to no avail - all you get is an error message.
Edit: Forget the question. Seems the phone healed itself. The first OTA download was an update 10.3.1 to 10.3.3 with a size of around 500 MB, and that couldn't be installed. When the System Updater saw this didn't succeed, it downloaded the complete 10.3.3 Package (2,2 GB) OTA, and installed that via TWRP with no problems whatsoever. I lost Magisk, which i needed to reinstall, but other than that, everything's fine.
Edit 2: The complete package obviously also overwrites TWRP, which i had to reinstall, too.

You will need to flash Magisk immediately after the ROM to stop MIUI restoring stock recovery.
