For me, (Germany) also still no update. I pray for it every day because I'm still stuck on the ...142 Firmware because the previous owner unlocked bootloader and OTA is therefore gone. Not sure why such policy was implemented, but it is as it is. Hope to get A14 soon.

Has anybody else received the beta update yet? Its been a while and i was just starting to wonder if the next batch of beta was out. 

[Biggie]

Seems like the Android 14 update comes to the phone as a OTA. That means that the few people who actually managed to unlock their phone before the unlock tool broke wont be able to get the A14 update.

Also as someone whose not that into modifying phones, can you dump an image from a phone without the bootloader being unlocked? 

[Damvr000]

Yeah they have removed the bootloader unlock tool for zenfone 9 and 10. So my device hasn't been unlocked. However I'm not sure what image you are after. I've just added the image of the update status page.
