What's the different SKU firmwares? I'm assuming JP is Japan, CN is China?, WW is World Wide version and there's a CUCC, not sure what that one is.
The question is, I have the WW firmware right now can I ONLY upgrade using the WW firmware from Asus site? I ask because WW is still at .97 and there's already been two firmware up (.102) and wondering why Asus is taking their sweet time this round for WW updates.
Isn't there more to the ww firmwares?
There's a way to change SKU version in the all-in-one thread. To change it from WW to CN you need a CN fastboot and recovery image (droidboot.img and recovery.img) instead of WW ones provided in that thread. There are many of these in Chinese forums, or you can just extract it yourself.

I keep reading different people saying: "I had CN firmware so I flashed WW firmware ...." while on the Asus site, from where I got the firmwares, says "DO NOT FLASH FIRMWARE OF DIFFERENT SKU VERSIONS" ... it explains further "CN SKU should flash CN firmware".
Can someone lead me in the right direction and tell me how to flash my CN version to WW version? Do I just flash the WW firmware off of Asus's site?

I have the Chinese version and I just applied the pre-root ROM ... it actually changed my firmware to WW! Although, bands are the same. :/
Here is a reply to my question on another thread by user 'MironV' : "It seems that installing a different region firmware will work, but the bands won't."
Another reply by 'sorg' : "Flashing firmware from different region won't change supported 4G bands. Bands support relies on region of phone, which is defined in SFI (it's simpler version of ACPI found in PC) OEM1 table, and it's not touched by flashing procedure.
Although, it may be possible to spoof HW region in kernel. But it requires unlocked bootloader."

Hi,
I would love any advise on how to go BACK to a CN stock rom on my Z00AD - with CN SKU. if anyone can link me to the files required and a few words on how to do this I would be greatly thankful!
I am trying to reinstall the firmware via command prompt but I don't know which one it is from this list of 34 that ASUS provides: [can't post link because new account]
Someone help please?
Which model do you have? Also, I never saw anyone restoring stock firmware from ASUS. Everyone uses the pre-rooted firmware.

The latest is the one with the highest number, if you have a from china use the cn firmware or ww for world, check the box.
You find the fimware on the product page support.

The latest firmwares are:
WW: 2.20.40.97
CN: 2.20.40.104
Heres the page:

I want to convert HTV32(HTC10 for Japan region) to WW or US firms, except its compatibility of LTE-Bands.
Because of some reasons:
I'm in Japan and HTV32 is compatible with LTE-bands I want(LTE-Band1,3,and especially Band19).
But the original firmware of HTV32 includes too many bloatwares that other versions of firmware don't include.
So in short, I want a WW or US version of HTC10 with LTE-Band19 compatibility.
I wonder this can be realized with flashing the WW firm and HTV32's original radio, but I don't know it really works.
Does anyone know any examples like this?
Or if you have any infos about this topic, would you share it to me?
Thanks
Hi!
I have purchased a Zenfone 3 Deluxe ZS570KL (SD820 version) from Italy, unfortunately it has branding by TIM (Italian Telecom) and thus a TIM SKU.
Can someone tell me the steps I must follow to change the software (incl SKU) to WW?
Does the Bootloader Unlock tool work on all SKU versions?
I heard someone found a way to install WW software, but unfortunately they didn't reply to questions on issues others ran into and I don't want to risk bricking the phone.
Thanks in advance
You have to unbrand your phone. The bootloader unlock tool works only with WW SKU, but i'm not sure. Try it
Check this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-3-deluxe/help/help-flash-stock-7-0nougat-via-stock-t3588591
There is also a thread in an italian forum, "androidworld"
After unbrand, you have to replace the recovery with the WW SKU one and then you wil be able to update with downloadable firmwares on the asus website
