ridwan, 18 Sep 2014Thanks for your reply Tomazz. I have done every OTA update with all their WW firmware from asu... moreThat's the trouble - CU-ANDROID.

Basically this is the Chinese version of phone that comes with Chinese Android.

You will not be able to install the files off my server, as those are only for WWE-ANDROID.

The Chinese CU version is for greater China, where you'll probably find some applications in Chinese, and not the list of all languages available. But in WWE version every conceivable language is there, and all the apps are in English.

Normally you cannot install international SKU over a Chinese version of the phone.

Apologies.

I've been using the zenfone this past 3 weeks. Generally, the ZF5 is a fantastic device. But I have some problems regarding the USB OTG support. I have just updated my device to the latest firmware expecting it to support USB OTG but to my disappointment nothing happened when I inserted my USB. I did the hard reset as advised by the ASUS costumer service but still nothing happened. Anybody experiencing the same problem as mine?
