Message received! Finally! 

I expect to receive the FOTA update in the next few hours. 

At the moment, I can't access the private forum group.

LET'S GO ANDROID14! Get ready to receive my feedback!

Wow, they are so funny, how should I even update to 33.0804.2060.204 when they not provide it to me (no OTA). I don't understand such embarrassing update politics. Also this ongoing lack of communication is a pain, nobody from Asus did respond on anything. Sorry for the bad words, it just have to came out.

I was just about to say this! Is absurd how hard it is for them to upload the newer updates to their website. I didnt even know about that update until now. First of all the ones with unlocked bootloader probably wont even get the update due to it being OTA, and IF we somehow manage to get a dumped A14 build we STILL need to find the .204 update since it doesnt even exist on the website. I wish there was more custom roms for this phone cause ASUS sure are horrible at maintaining good support for their phones.

Has anyone with an unlocked bootloader gotten the update? Still hoping someone could dump the update for the people who wont get it.

I hate to say it but im seriously thinking of selling this phone and instead get an iphone now that there are rumours for sideloading on iOS.

Have you contacted the technical service in your country?

If you've used official means to unlock it, they'll help you without a problem.

But if you haven't used official media, you'll have to seek help from a forum...
