US Android 14 Firmware Download+Upgrade Process

[tarfeef101]

I noticed that (finally), an update was posted to the downloads! However, it is not for the US model 😞. However, some key information can be extracted

ZenFone 9 (AI2202) Software Image: WW-34.0304.2004.87, for WW/EU (excluding JP) SKU. This version needs to be upgraded from WW-33.0804.2060.218

My primary concern is that the last US update was version WW-33.0804.2060.142. As a result, I have 2 questions:

- when will the US update be posted?

- will that update have the same upgrade requirement? If so... It's kinda useless since people who use online firmware and not OTAs don't have version 218 available.

I also need WW-33.0804.2060.218 update that is not available in the website for download. How can I get? so I can update to Android 14?

Is there a solution to this problem ?

There is not, and now the old firmware (which isn't even new enough to upgrade from to the android 14 one) is gone too. Very disappointing.

@Falcon_ASUS you seem to have replied to firmware related posts recently

Any update here? Many of us are waiting for this "middle update" to be posted to be "not a year behind", and then ideally on android 14.
