There's a new OTA (11.8.4.6) for KitKat out. I've just flashed it, and it seems to be running normally, with the following notes:
  • Rooting using Towelroot is still possible (again, rooting is dangerous, I'm not recommending it, etc.)
  • Polaris Office 5 is now bundled (for the people who were missing it - myself included)
  • The screen tearing I observed on the 11.8.3.3 firmware appears to have been addressed here; smooth scrolling overall.

That begs another question that I never get any answer from Asus or anywhere from the net.

Previously I was on 4.1.1 on an encrypted Padfone2, can I upgrade to 4.4.2 without decrypting the phone first? No answer.

Not taking the risk, I backed up everything, decrypted the phone by factory reset. Manually flashed to 4.4.2. Then encrypted again to install my company's secured email client. Worked.

Now, I am on 4.4.2 build 11.8.3.3 on an encrypted Padfone2, can I upgrade to 4.4.2 build 11.8.4.6 using the OTA method? Given the phone detected the OTA firmware & prompting me to upgrade?

If I just click upgrade while the phone is encrypted, will it brick the phone?

Sigh... why no one knows this answer?

Just to confirm, this OTA does not wipe data right?

[WTS] padfone2 cover, station, station sleeve, accessories

hi guys, my padfone2 mobo died and the repair fee ain't worth it.
hence i'm letting go the other accessories as below.

1. original padfone2 side flip cover (white) - slight crack on the cover side
2. original station sleeve
3. station - haven't been in use much, pretty much in a 10/10 condition.
(had IPG screen protector on. product details here)
4. misc items like charger, charging cable, sim slot pin are up for grabs too.

interested party may contact me.

Thanks

Hi,

Anyone have the problem with the Padfone 2 station not charging the phone and cause it to shut down. This happens to me after the firmware update with the ZENUI.

Regards
Wei Kit
