2 weeks ago, I decided to just buy a mid-range phone with another brand rather than spend my hard-earned money on having your Zenfone 8 fixed at the Asus service center. And what will I do with my zenfone 8 phone? Well using this for backup storage...
Thanks to @InteRadek I was able to downgrade to Android 12, and my phone is now working. Agree @Menhir65 , asus assistance is such a waste of time. They only know those canned replies.
Thanks so much @InteRadek , my phone is now working. I can see the AP list. For those who need the firmware, I have created another link where you can download - https://tinyurl.com/zenfone8solvewifiFrom my revived phone
