========================================
I'm currently on the .86 update & would like to downgrade.
Main reason to downgrade is to get rid of the media storage battery drain & to have the old speaker quality back.
Unfortunately, I can't downgrade using the ROM from Asus as it says "update failed".
How do I downgrade using a PC? Will I lose my Data?
I'm fully aware I'll Lose Volte & other features & I also know that I'll be on a older security patch... But what's the alternative? It's been almost 1 month & Asus haven't released a fix for the aforementioned bugs.
Infact, it's that time of year again, they're releasing a new phone, in this case the Rog Phone 5s so all their time & attention is there rather than on the Rog 5 issues. Any help would be great.

If you succeed, you must not forget that the .86 will still download after the downgrade, (it is preferable not to reboot in wifi to disabled auto update) but it will still download the .86 afterwards.

I think the Rog 5 will then often ask the question "do you want to upgrade" or something like that, and that's a lot more painful than not having RGB for a selfie 🙂
