Jana, 10 Oct 2014I updated kitkat. please send send battery fix update url. Here is the battery fix URL:

http://www.mega-networks.asia/ZenFone/ZenFone5_WW_Firmware/FOTA_KitKat_Battery_Fix_2_19_40_18_WW_500_0927_1003_20141003.zip

This is a FOTA only - meaning only a battery fix and you must have 2.19.40.9 already loaded.

It does NOT check what's installed and will brick your phone if you try to install it on any other version.

            Got my Zenfone 5 yesterday. Got a prompt for an update which brought Build number to 1.18.40.10. It was just a 20mb update. I am assuming the previous updates got skipped. Still haven't updated to Kitkat. Does UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.19.40.18-user on support.asus.com contain all the previous fixes or have they been skipped for good on my phone?

                " the phone turns on into a DOS looklike" - Are you talking about Droidboot version?

                If so what I see is Reboot Droidboot,Reboot,Recovery,Factory Rest,Last Successful Flasg Log and Power Off.

                if I click on the Recovery,,it boot into recovery and I get the android with a triangle symbol.From there I get get into
                recovery menu by Volume - ,then Volume + and then release voulme + ,and release VOlume - will take me to the menu whehter I cal do a Wipr cache partition ,Wide Cache/Data,Adb sideload etc.

                In none of these menu I am not able to see "Restore From Recovery"?

                    That won't work with same or older version.

                      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.
