Need Help Downgrading

bart.geron

For some reason, I have upgraded my Zenphone 5 to the beta release on the website. However, I want to roll back to the stable firmware.

Can someone help me in downgrading?

My current version is QKQ1.190723.002.WW_Phone-17.0615.2005.25-20200604

Thank you so much. Really want to do it.

Hi bart.geron

Thank you for your asking. Kindly try some stay-at-home troubleshooting tips below:

1. Re download the firmware file again from PC, to ensure the file is downloaded completely.

2. Since the cross-Android upgrade/downgrade will perform the factory reset, please try to manual perform the factory reset before downgrading.

3. Make sure your file is put in the root directory, aka the outermost place, of the mocroSD card.

Thank you for your asking. The downgrade can only be performed by microSD card, as Erwin05 said, please purchase one.
