AnonD-313233, 04 Oct 2014When update kitkat 800mb will release?It is already uploaded but it will depend on who is managing the Asus site. If it is China, then it's unlikely before the end of National Day holidays.
If it is Taiwan, then it is possible it would be up very soon.
I now see a few sites with leaked full KitKat image for ZF5, although I cannot tell where they got it from or how safe it would be to use it.
If it is an untouched ZIP, it would be fine. But then, if site looks fishy, maybe hold your horses.

AnonD-298283, 04 Oct 2014is this process same for zenfone 4 or different and what do you mean by root folder can you gi... moreRoot folder is the main folder. Like if you use a PC, the root folder of drive C: would be C:\
Then you have say folder C:\Windows. The Windows is not a root folder, but a subfolder of a root folder.
As for the procedure - it is identical in the way that you place the file in internal storage to get it installed, but from the versions, it is different.
ZenFone 4 had no issues in upgrade to KitKat hence there's no compatibility patch required before KitKat upgrade.
I just updated it for my security guard (bought the ZF4 for him a while ago) and procedure was very smooth. That said, I no longer have a ZF4 and can't comment any more on it.

AnonD-292829, 04 Oct 2014Any early feedback on Kitkat update interms of performace,Battery life,features etc?Performance is better, battery life better in test, but for "real life" experience I do not yet have the answer.
I do not have any issues with it, like what others reported.
Do note that regarding the keyboard issue - I use Swype on all my phones.
APN has no issue on any of my phones, and now all 3 are upgraded to KitKat in various ways.
So from my side there are no complaints over it.

AnonD-292829, 04 Oct 2014Hi Tomazz,
Thankx for the update.
But as reported,not sure why system itself doesn't shows u... moreYes, you do.
Else there is a good chance in the middle of the upgrade to KitKat you would get an exception error and update would fail.
The 1.18.40.10 fixes some files that caused the KitKat update to break. Although this did not always happen, it often did.
So please install 1.18.40.10 first no matter how you plan to upgrade to KitKat.
Thank you.
