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.

Addy, 03 Oct 2014i had all updades installed on my zf 5 till 1.18.40.9, but now when i try to get ota update fo... moreTry downloading from my site and install 1.18.40.10 update manually.
Then try the system update again, to see if it starts downloading the KitKat.
If it does not, you can get it from my site as well.
Now note: these are only for WW SKU! If you have TW or CN version, the 1.18.40.10 is NOT required, and you should download KitKat update for your SKU version directly from the Asus site.

Amit, 04 Oct 2014What is the price of display of asus zenfone 5From 50 USD up. Search on eBay. Plenty on offer.
This is for whole assembly - display + digitiser.
Please note that this does not include labour to replace it. To do that you literally need to take the entire thing apart and screen would be the last thing coming off.
It's about 30-40 minute job to take it apart and back together.
