Asus ROG 5s Android 13 Upgrade Help

[kaash]

Model Name: ZS676KS
Current Firmware Version: 18.1220.2109.131
Rooted or not: Not Rooted
Android Version: 11
Asus Rog Phone 5S Still under 1 year Asus Warranty.

Looking to upgrade it from Android 11 to 13 which is not working directly from phone settings via OTA system update feature. There is nothing available there or either it's not working at all.

Found the Android 13 update via Asus Download center for ROG5/5S (ZS673KS/ZS676KS) Software Image: WW-33.0210.0210.200, for WW(except JP)/EU/RU SKUs
Version WW-33.0210.0210.200 Size: 3.59 GB Dt. 2023/11/14

So I am curious is it possible to upgrade from A11 to directly A13 via official source update? I am confused referring to so many sources, youtube and zentalk that it has be be upgraded from A11 > A12 then A13 to work everything fine.

But there is no official way to get the A12 update from Asus directly.
Even though just putting Asus's A13 in root folder and restart phone to detect update an apply will it work without anything broken like (Wifi, Hotspot, etc as read in several zentalk posts that either the update entirely fails or even if it get updated some features get broken after upgrade)

As found many users report Wi-Fi and hotspot stopped working after Android 13 update so is it really a software issue or hardware fault. Sceptical to upgrade to Android 13 as it appears risky from former users aspects. Though my phone is still under Asus 1 year warranty.

So is the Asus provided A13 version (WW-33.0210.0210.200) on their website is fully stable?
if yes is it possible to upgrade it from A11 to A13 without any failure or breaking any of features

Concluding with all the clutter and confusion many users advice to stay on A11.
I am afraid to get bricked while upgrading if not properly executed. Sending it to service center or get into process of downgrading manually.
Now I am stuck what to do and what is the point of spending on Asus ROG mobiles, Laptop & Accessories if no official support is properly available.

Hi everyone,

I recently tried upgrading my Asus ROG 5s to Android 13, but I’ve encountered several issues during and after the process. Some of the problems I’m facing include:

1. System Lag: The device feels slower than before.
2. Battery Drain: The battery seems to drain much faster post-upgrade.
3. App Crashes: Some apps aren’t running as smoothly as they did on Android 12.

I’ve already tried clearing the cache, resetting the device, and updating all apps to their latest versions, but these issues persist. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there specific fixes for these problems, or should I consider downgrading back to Android 12?

For anyone dealing with tech frustrations or looking for budget-friendly solutions, you can check  for refurbished gadgets and accessories to make your upgrades smoother.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions!

Can you please tell us the EDL method to update the firmware. Because the automatic and manual update(Copying firmware to root folder , update failed notification) didn't work.
