Asus started rolling a new update for Asus ROG Phone (ZS600KL/ ZS602KL) which upgrades the security patch level and fixed bugs. The update is labeled with build number WW-15.1630.1903.89 and rolling out for users globally over-the-air. The latest security maintenance release fixes several vulnerabilities in both Android OS and Asus’s software ZenUI.

With this update, Asus improved the overall security features and improved the performance of the Asus ROG Phone. You can check for the software update manually from the Asus ROG Phone Settings > General > About phone > Update Center. Then tap on System update> Check for update. But if you’re an advanced user and don’t want to wait for a long, install the firmware update package manually. The firmware with build number WW-15.1630.1903.89 is currently available for download from below.

How to Download Over-The-Air Update..?

The OTA (over the air) usually comes to your device automatically but there is no guarantee how long it would take you to receive the OTA individually. This means even if the update is available in some parts of your region, you may not get to see it for weeks due to phase-wise roll out. So, the alternative way is to search for the software on your own. To do it,

  • In your phone Settings > General > About phone > Update Center.
  • Then tap on System update> Check for update.
  • If the WW-15.1630.1903.89 update shows as available, then tap on Download.

The software may weigh a lot in size. So, the ideal way is to find and connect to a Wi-Fi network. Then download the OTA via Wi-Fi. It will save your carrier data charges. Your Asus ROG Phone must have at least 50% or more before installing the new security update.
