In this tutorial I'm considering WW_5.3.5 as an example.
1. Once you have downloaded the stock firmware, rename the zip file to WW_5.4.5.
2. Do the same if you have TW version zenfone 4.
3. By renaming the file, the phone gets notified that a new software update is available. But it is the same version as of the current software installed on your phone.
4. Now copy the renamed zip file to internal memory of your zenfone 4 and disconnect the phone from pc.
5. You'll get a notification of available software update package. Go a head and install it.
