This Is For those Who Stuck At Android 9 In WW Roms With ZS660KL Model
This Method Will Use Raw Firmware so there is risks if you do something wrong and maybe data loss so always backup
Bootloader Must Be Unlocked
How To Flash Raw Rom:
1-Bootloader Must be Unlocked! (To change fingerprint to ww and relock the bootloader to get OTA) If you are already on WW fingerprint this step aint needed or you want to stay on cn fingerprint just skip)
2-Install adb and fastboot
3-Download and extract the raw version you want i will give some below
4- reboot the phone to fastboot mode and connect it to the pc Use Side Port
5-in the raw firmware folder double click flashall_AFT.cmd This will take sometime and no progress will be shown so all you have to do is to wait till the phone reboot or get black screen if you got black screen just hold vol down and power button for some seconds
6-if your Fingerprint is cn Change it to WW With root explorer you can find posta about this step by step (skip this if you are already on WW Fingerprint)

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to flash the raw firmware. That is stupid to say you do..
The way you say stupid is stupid however mine didn't got flashed just rebooted when tried to flash the raw and couldn't update in system updates or zip files however having some respect ain't bad for your health.

First of all, I just said it was a stupid thing to say because you don't need to unlock the bootloader and you must use the side USB c port to flash via fastboot. Second: learn to interpret proper English because I didn't offend anyone. End of conversation

You will need to enter an command in fastboot mode but be aware backup every necessary things
If you didn't rooted or touched boot.img just use this command in fastboot and the bootloader will be locked again
fastboot oem asus-csc_lk

What if I rooted?
I just followed all the instructions, I dont think I need my phone to be rooted, I dont want it to be rooted. gpay and some banking apps dont work.
I would like to get back to normal though and locked the boot loader, but keep my android 10 update.

I did all this just to update .

You'll need to flash stock boot img if your rom version (to remove root) before locking bootloader
