Update Asus Zenfone Firmware: Step by Step Instructions

Every time when Asus releases a new OTA update, not everyone will receive it at the same time due to the Staged Rollout. With a staged rollout, the OTA update reaches only a few random users initially and expands to others over time. Sometimes, it may take one or two weeks also. But, there is an alternative way wherein you can flash the official firmware without waiting for the OTA update. Check out the step by step process to manually update the Asus Zenfone smartphone.
