I come with a background of operating and exploring Android devices since the last 6 years. I dwell on technology and Android to be precise. Its open-source nature and the enormous scope for possibilities have intrigued me ever since I operated my first Android device. All this ultimately led me to start "TheCustomDroid". Apart from that, I spend most of my time mountain biking and gaming on my Xbox.

      I personally have scanned the source thread and found no confirmation for your case. Kindly downgrade to .75 firmware if you want to install this update.

          Hello Rumeeel. I am not sure if Asus supports shifting from the Beta to Stable channel via OTA updates.

          As I am writing this, I am also covering a tutorial to install the official stable update on the device, that involves flashing the full firmware using the recovery. Once published, you can follow that to update your device.

    Does we further get beta updates after updating to Android Oreo being not a beta tester on Android 7?

      If Asus has its Beta Channel separate from stable, then you might not get further updates and will need to install manually.

      You can use the manual method freely. It will work on a locked bootloader too. Also, the bootloader lock/unlock state would not be altered in any way. Since this is a Beta software, I am not quite sure that you will be able to run the official OTA update after this.
