[Q] Asus Zenfone 6 T00G JB 4.3 - Post #64 - XDA Forum

using adb sideload to flash the rom btw.
..
...
10.after that your phone will automatic flash the rom, wait until your phone turning on
taraaa check your build number

Does this also work for zf5? Will it affect future OTA updates or does this way actually 'convert' a CN/TW SKU set into WW set?

Hello to all I got a Zenfone % model T00F and I made the mistake to update it to the CN firmware 626 now I cannot install the WW firmaware. Does anybody know how to install playstore and google services or is there a method to install the WW firmware? Thanks in advance

Can you report if the link provided by 'sickmailer' works?

Can you try with older fw and see if ota works with v625 ww firmware.

i bought 2 nillkin flip covers. no doubt that the flip covers look pretty damn good but sadly the s view functions doesn't work on both the flip covers.

i have 2 sets of zenfone 5 but both flip covers s view function does not work on both phones.

think it's best to buy the original flip cover. at least the s view function works.

hmm.... ic... for me i'm not too interested in the s view thingy... i'm thinking of buying the 3rd party flip cover that covers the view totally...

i emailed the seller who sold me the nillkin flip covers & this is his reply:

Step 1: ASUS Personalized Settings -gloves Mode -ON
Step 2: Settings -Display -start S View Leather case -ON
Please do this setting,thanks

well, after following the steps, my conclusion is it's a total crap.
