The first thing I would do in your place is to contact the technical service in my country. That way you would have a personalized treatment. 

I would make sure I hadn't updated the phone previously from an unofficial source. 

And it would reset to factory status with the file available on the web. With it, I'd wait for the .204 OTA.

At the beginning of having this phone I was able to update from the ASUS website and I always got OTA updates.

"The first thing I would do in your place is to contact the technical service in my country. That way you would have a personalized treatment." 

Ill have to check if they even have a support for sweden. Guess its a good place to start.

"I would make sure I hadn't updated the phone previously from an unofficial source." 

Nope, its on a stock image of .142 from their own website, altough it do have magisk installed but its something it dont really need.

"And it would reset to factory status with the file available on the web. With it, I'd wait for the .204 OTA."

Yet again it already got the stock image from their website, and since the bootloader is unlocked the OTA updates is permanently disabled. So i cant really "wait" for the .204 since the phone cant even update from OTA. This is where my issue is. .204 isnt available on their website, nor can i get it from OTA since its disabled.

Asus Sweden, I hope you get lucky!

Factory reset Magisk and uninstall it. 

And maybe, if you participate in the beta program, they can make it easier for you to restore your phone to its original or previous state. You will be able to follow the steps without being on A14 and reset the system to A13 .204.

If I remember correctly, when Asus allowed unlocking, it warned of the problems caused by this. Maybe it's because of these things that they've discontinued unblocking.
