AnonD-313233, 09 Oct 2014There is another way to get android kitkat for my zenfone without fastboot it? I do not know h... moreIf you are loading NEWER version of the firmware than what you currently have loaded, you should be able to just download the full firmware file, unzip it and drop it in the root of the internal storage.
That won't work with same or older version.

Deepanker, 09 Oct 2014m getting lag while scrolling
i just did through backup & reset option in personal setti... moreOK, that are 2 different things.
The factory reset in settings only deletes the settings, but does not rebuild the partition.
The full reset is actually done like this:
- turn off the phone
- wait 10 seconds
- press power and volume down buttons at the same time and hold them
- the phone turns on into a DOS looklike
- release the buttons, and press volume up to confirm
- now choose Restore from Recovery Partition
- wait till it completes and reboots the phone
Let me know if you still have issues after that.

Good news!!! for Zenfone 5 owner, if you update your firmware to ASUS_T00F_WW_user_2.19.40.18_20141003_8008 you get battery drain issue fixed, and dont forget to update ZenUI from PlayStore for new experience, well done asus.
