but mine work great, umobile fullbar in my office voice call crystal clear, even my old celcom no. only 2-3 bar n need to go outside to get clear conversation. umobile data signal showing H+

anyway am in puchong area.

if the problem persist i think u should go ask SC or claim warranty etc.

Good catch, I think there are 4/8Gb versions.

Who wants to trade zf5 back cover with me? Mine is white... bought it 2nd hand from my brother...

I want black...

Zencase on sale got no black... only red, gold and white only...

OTA image SKU: WW
assert failed: getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "WW"
(Status 8)
E: fota_return_code 403
Installation aborted.
E:Cannot load volume /misc!

getting the same problem now
when using adb sideload...

older zf4 with dual 1200mah bettery, yes. newer zf4 with 1600mah battery got 8gb internal storage.

btw i read asus official support forum, they're working on official tool/method to unlock bootloader. obviously would void warranty same as sony phones unlocking. i'm prepared to lose my warranty for this dirt cheap rm300 phone and also got ability to flash kernel and make the battery life better

Asus Ori Charger

Kinda expensive tho..RM98

Yea, too expensive for charger. I will use compatible only. Tq.

Can use iPad mini adaptor to charge? The charging time quite slow idk is the cable probs or the adaptor . Wanna try use my iPad mini adaptor.

I try use compatible adapter 2.0a, so far good and fast charging. But it depends on cable also. I try put another cable on that adapter but slow charging.

Asus Zenfone 5 white or I here. So far have been pleased with it a lot. Battery is so so, but it's a new device. Lots of installing and the battery is "breaking" in still. So time will tell. Second best RM500++ spent!

Also how to update to latest FW? OTA or only manual? Wasn't clear from the conversation here haha.

Hi guys,

I've been using Zenfone 4 a450cg (zf4.5) almost 2 weeks and yesterday I just managed to root it.

Root file are from ThaiZenfone fb
the file - Root Zenfone A450CG.rar

Inside the file is the root zip and intel driver

"How to root"

01. Download & Install Intel Usb Driver (not working on windows xp)

02. Download & Extract File Root "Root Zenfone 450.zip" Extract File must in the same folder

03. Mode Debugging USB (Usb Debugging) is On. enable developer option setting (settings/About/Software information touch "Build Number" 7x).

04. Turn off zf4.5 and enter to "DROIDBOOT" (Power + Vol Up) until droid avatar shows on screen

05. plug in zf4.5, it will install android drivers, Make sure On the Screen Mode DROIDBOOT Is Inscribed " Ready for Download"

06. Open the folder that was extracted, run 'command prompt' and change directory to this folder (cd "c:\Root Zenfone 450")

07. type this on cmd: fastboot flash update rootzen450.zip

08. Click " Enter " and wait for processing. your phone will reboot

09. Your zf4.5 now is rooted.

10. SuperSU app now installed, check using Root Checker to confirm

*based on zenfone 4 root guide from xda - link
*If usb mtp mode not working, try change to ptp mode first, let pc install the drivers and then switch back to mtp

wow...
that is a good news...
now i can throw all my games in my phone without worried whether can be transfer to memory card or not via asus customized setting...

yeah true.
so far i've managed to block ads with adaway and fix kitkat sdcard permission issue.
to do: create 2nd partition and use symbolic link in link2sd

i've tried to use font installer, however the apps didn't preview the font and crashed when i tried to install the font

Hi

I am a new user for Zenfone 5. Would like to check where do I download the driver for this model ?
Like in Samsung-Kies, Apple-ITunes but I can't find it in their websites.
Does the driver help us to transfer all our contacts, call logs, waze, whatsapp, wechat from Iphone to ZF5


Hope all sifu here can assist.

Thank you
