Probably about half an hour or so after supersu request I ran root checker and it came out positive. Whatever it did it allowed kingo to work again.

Good luck to you dude, hopefully it completes or at least provides functional results.
[YotaPhone] 6imon9:
thanks! supersu updated everything works perfectly. someone has tried to change in ART?

Many thanks, I finally figured it out and was able to regain root permanently.

I tried to follow as closely as possible your process:

1) Get root privileges using Baidu Super Root.

2) Once the Yotaphone 2 is rooted, remove SuperSU (to clean things up for Kingo), then remove Baidu Super Root, and reboot.

3) After the reboot, use Kingo Root 1.3.3 to re-root the Yotaphone 2.

4) Download the latest SuperSU apk and install from the apk itself, not from Google Play Store (this last part caused some headaches to me, I kept trying to install via the "Normal" method after udating SuperSU via the store, and it didn't work).

I got the SuperSU apk here, btw:

Hope this can help others if Zute333 post wasn't explicit enough for you to figure out how to do it. But then, if you need more detailed directions, like me, then you probably shouldn't be playing with root on your brand new Yotaphone 2 in the first place! ;)

I'm glad to be rooted again, anyway, I really do need a small utility named "ClockSync" (which requires root) to keep my phone with as precise a time reference as possible, because my Moto 360 smartwatch is in sync with the Yotaphone. Atomic clock is so much more reliable than the GSM network clock...

Thanks again, Zute333 (and 6imon9 / All Day on XDA)!
[YotaPhone] zute333:
euroclie you did exactly what I did. Sorry for not putting it all in a more readable methodology and being more explicit but yeah, very glad it worked for you as well. Seems we have the method down, at least for our phones.

So glad to be rooted again, other than greenifying stuff and having kernel control I just miss the little advantages and xposed mods. Having gravity box is most excellent.

Good luck everyone else.

Also, thanks to All Day on XDA and 6imon9 for the russian research and confirmation of working.
[YotaPhone] zute333:
Just thought would mention that the bumper is for sale on the yota website now. It may have been a while but just a heads up for those still looking for one.

It's priced at £12
[YotaPhone] All Day On XDA:
Glad to help :D

I missed xposed too and now that gravity box on lollipop seems to be figured out all that's left is the upgrade to lollipop for our phones

Use ADB with kingo, worked for me
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
Finally rooted!

After many tries I finally managed to root my device on the latest firmware (1.0.3.61a). Here are some notes I made in case some of you are still having problems:

- You HAVE TO use Kingo ROOT version 1.3.3.2235. The last version (1.3.5) WILL NOT WORK. I did, however, use the ADB drivers from the latest Kingo ROOT.

- I tried mixing multiple versions of the Baidu super root app, but none of them managed to get the job done. Maybe it is not necessary?

- After successfully rooting the device, Immediately install latest version of SuperSU using external apk. Then open it and update the binaries normally.

So just to clarify, I'm fairly certain following these steps you should be able to root your Yotaphone 2 running firmware 1.0.3.61a. Of course you're on your own if you brick the device, as usual:

1. Download and install Kingo ROOT version 1.3.3.2235.

2. Use the ADB drivers supplied by Kingo ROOT. If the drivers from that old version of Kingo do not work, momentarily install the latest version of Kingo and after you have the ADB drivers running, uninstall it and go back to 1.3.3.2235.

3. Start the rooting process from Kingo. Make sure the Kingo app gets started on your phone. If it does not, your ADB drivers are most likely not working. However, if you can find it on your app drawer, you might just need to restart Kingo ROOT on your PC and take things slowly to make sure your phone keeps up.

4. After the rooting process is complete, download and install the latest version of SuperSU via external apk-file.

5. Launch SuperSU and update the binaries using the "Normal" method.

6. If you still have root after rebooting your phone, you should be all set! You can now uninstall that Kingo ROOT app from your phone... and all those other useless Google Play apps.. ;)

Thank you guys for providing all the pieces of the puzzle.

excellent post and very useful for future newcomers to this phone.
[YotaPhone] varun.gid:
They need to work on notifications. It sucks for most notifications u need to flip the phone and see. Defeats the purpose of having the 2nd display. I usually use BBM Whatsapp Gmail and none of them show up on the notifications. PLEASE YOTA WORK on the basics!
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
Agreed. However, many of these problems can be fixed by other developers once the new SDK is released. At least Gmail messages should be accessible from external app / widget.

Also, the smallest calendar widget (which is part of the Organizer app) shows the wrong date for me. It's always 7 days late. Kinda defeats the purpose of a calendar... :p
[YotaPhone] zute333:
I'm guessing most will know but Yota pushed out an email update, now we can add any account so Gmail on the backscreen is now a thing :)
[YotaPhone] manmikey:
I noticed that email update but I can't get gmail emails to come up on the notification "bell" or on the email panel, any advice?
[YotaPhone] zute333:
Just checking - have you set up gmail on the EPD by pressing mail icon, turning over and setting up on main screen? Once thats set up then the emails come through to EPD and the mail client is useable.
[YotaPhone] manmikey:
I'm not sure I have! I'm not understanding your method there zute333 :rolleyes::confused:
[YotaPhone] Rarelyamson:
Zute333 is referring to the android email client installed on your device. You need to set this up before any email will appear in yota notifications.

It's a pain. But currently the only way to see your mail count on the yotapanel.

Hope this helps.
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
The new update does not communicate with the Gmail app itself, but it allows you to use the other email client to receive your mails from your gmail account via SMTP. It works, but the email notifications arrive later than in the gmail app. In other words, it's a Microsoft Outlook Express wannabe, and not exactly I had in mind.

It can be that the Gmail app does not have sufficient API for external apps. But I'm still going to try to make it work once they release the SDK.
[YotaPhone] zute333:
No, it's awkward having the use 2 email clients for 1 account, but it's at the very least a step in the right direction.

Good luck with that dude, we're all hoping they do it soon. So much potential going to waste at the moment.
[YotaPhone] manmikey:
Ah I see, I was expecting gmail integration when the app was updated, I have 3 accounts set up on the stock e-mail client including gmail but I've never had a gmail email appear in the EPD. I did notice the mail Yota panel has an option to select (by tick box) any or all of the email accounts I've set up but it doesn't seem to make any difference to what appears in the panel, I'm not to bothered as gmail is not my primary service but its nice to have things working properly

Is your device up and running again
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
Yeah, nothing's broken. It just froze completely when the Kingo app started to work its magic. I might try again later for fun. :p

Have to admit I would feel a lot more comfortable trying these apps if the recovery was customizable and I could run a full backup and restore from there.
[YotaPhone] adamo86:
Tried it first time it turned device off second time it went through but said root failed ?
[YotaPhone] zute333:
I've tried a combination of kingo and baidu superroot which worked for me last time, but couldn't find the same drivers I used (PC OS update etc). When get home tonight I'll try the same again but with updated versions of everything and proper drivers.
[YotaPhone] zute333:
Ok, Kingo didn't work for me, will play around and update in a bit.
[YotaPhone] adamo86:
What I don't understand the yotaphone is more or less stock android why is it such a pain rooting. Also it would be great if someone made a recovery
[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
I think the biggest issue here is Lollipop and all those security holes that once were used for rooting before and now Google has blocked. Also, not many modders have this device, or people in general. It's not in the top of anyone's list to hack and root.

Custom recovery would be extremely helpful.
[YotaPhone] zute333:
Complete agreement. Lollipop seems to be causing various issues with various devices, apps etc.

Kingo etc won't focus on Yota until they've caught up with other, more prominent devices, same goes for everyone else.

God a recovery would be lovely, question is can a user from here or the russian forums, or someone from CWM be arsed to make one?

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Tried combination of baidu super root, Kingo root (latest version) and using qualcomm composite adb device drivers which worked for me on KitKat, no go this time. Seems we're going to need to wait a little bit more for root access again.

Plus side is it's forcing me to go through testing launchers and apps for battery and performance purposes which I tend to neglect once have cpu control, greenify and xposed running so when root comes back my set up should be ideal :P.

Miracast

Hi,

got my white YP2 over the weekend, which I let upgrade to Lollipop. And in the spirit of the OP I have a few first impressions I thought I'd share

So far I'm reasonably impressed...

packaging and presentation was nice

the colour screen is nicer than I expected

the e-ink has slightly lower contrast than I thought it would

overall styling and feel in the hand is good.

Lollipop on the other hand I am finding to be an acquired taste - I'll have to see how I get along with it!

Using the device is pretty much as you'd expect, and the back screen to monitor emails, sms and other notifications works well. The one thing they did right is the send to back option, it's awesome and makes the e-ink display useful and usable. Indeed for me it's indispensable because most of the apps provided by Yota I don't want or use - the only one I am using is the Telegram client, and the other one that I might have, the e-reader I can't get to display in landscape (this I accept is quite likely to be my ineptitude) so I send the Nook app to the back and all is well in my world.

Back on the front screen, it's a normal handset, with an understated style. It doesn't have the presence of the Samsung Edge (which if it weren't for knox I'd have bought) but it isn't cheap looking. Turn it face down and the e-ink display comes into its own and it's cool to have one of the covers running and then it's clear it's like no other phone on the market.

In use the handset is as you might expect a pretty vanilla experience and only a couple of things I've put on there don't work, which I suspect is simply compatibility with Lollipop. One problem I have encountered is with Sky Go (for Sky UK) which says it doesn't work with Miracast, for, I assume copyright and/or simply to restrict the use of the phone on your TV and cannibalise sales of secondary set-top boxes.

I can see a "cast to" option in the Display settings but can't see a way in the settings to turn Miracasting off all together, so rendering my phone unable to keep me up to date with GOT or F1 practice sessions! (I don't suppose anyone has any ideas on how to control/switch on/off the Miracast option?)

So, overall, I'm pleasantly surprised with this phone, its not the fastest and not being able to root it is a shame, but, not a show-stopper so far for me, and the advantage of being able to read a book with e-ink (which I find so much easier on my eyes) when on my daily commute and not having to carry another device is already after only one day a tangible benefit.

Hope that helps :)

[YotaPhone] Jeopardy:
There is no reason for Yota to allow their users to root. It only brings them problems.

Our only hope for root is for someone to figure out some general way to root Lollipop which would work on Yotaphone as well.
[YotaPhone] zute333:
Was only half serious, thinking maybe could be useful as a marketing feature.

Fingers crossed then. Think I'll keep trying kingo and others whenever they update.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unit336:
I wanted to see if anyone here is having issues w/ apps being listed as incompatible with the Nexus 6. I have been emailing with a developer for UpTo Calendar, and he reports that their usage statistics show a number of people using UpTo on the N6. When I search on the Play Store on my phone it yields no results. A search from the website shows my phone, but is grayed out and says "Verizon Wireless Motorola Nexus 6: This item is not compatible with your device." I am running stock 5.0, no root, stock DPI. Any feedback would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its up to the developer to set it for whatever devices it is compatible with. if the dev didnt list the n6, then you will not be able to use the play store to get it. but then again, you can always ask google to find it for you, then itll install without the issue of it being incompatible. but, you will risk installing a hacked app with a virus :)

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Raiderman:
Would not do any good to port the theme if you are not running a rom that has been "de-qmg'ed". In other words roms on the note 4 and s5 use .qmg compressed .png image files, and Vrtheme or any other theme script will not work. I believe X-note, and most roms have most .qmg image files still intact. Will have to wait until someone develops a deodexed rom with standard .png files. I have asked Bob when he releases his Rom, if I can port it to T-mobile, but have not heard back from him. I agree about his theme, it is one of the best. The other Devs rom that I really love is in the international S4 9505 forum, and his name is Carotix, aka CarHDrom.

Give it some time. The theme for Tmobile variant is stable and might work on your phone if it's 4.4.4. When the lollipop version is completed there should be more ports seeing as it's not loaded with .qmg making it easier to theme.
