[YotaPhone] Icaruszin:
So, I'm sorry if that question was already answered, but it's still not clear to me:

There's two Yotaphone models, the YD206 (chinese version, with a Snapdragon 801) and the YD201 (russian version, with a Snapdragon 800). And each version have a couple of basebands not avaliable in the other one.

I got a Yotaphone YD206 (since my CPU-Z says it's a Snapdragon 801), and even with the Russian build/baseband, my 4G isn't working, it shows only H+. For what I checked, my 4G band (2600Mhz) is avaliable only in the YD201 version.

So my question is: is there a way to unlock the 2600Mhz frequency in a YD206 model? Or it's a chipset limitation? Cause I have the russian build installed correctly, but seems like this baseband isn't unlocked.
[YotaPhone] flowledew:
Uh. I think I can make it only more complicated I have a YD 201 with a snapdragon 801, Russian baseband version and 4G/LTE works perfectly in Swiss.
[YotaPhone] nikbark:
Hi, I cant get umts band on my yd206 so im stuck with Edge, i tried many firmwares didnt do the job. im using tmobile usa.

Thanks
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Guys you're making a lot of confusion. YD201 and YD2016 have the same SoC (Snapdragon 801). The fact that you read in some websites 800 is just because previously cpu-z wasn't updated to recognize 801, writing 800 instead. <-- This is what people here and on 4pda have deducted, if someone have proofs about the existence of a YotaPhone 2 with Snapdragon 800 please show yourself.

Regarding the bands, they are not getting unlocked with firmwares, other methods are needed and people are trying to do it (search here on xda for specific topics). As of now we don't have a procedure to do it.

YD206 works best with CN radio, while YD201 works best with RU radio. To have a look at supported bands, open this comparison: YD206 vs YD201 and in the same site you can check the bands on which your mobile service provider operates. This explains why some get LTE and others don't.

The model you have is written on your YotaPhone package, don't look at what is written in the "info" page on your phone, that is easliy modified flashing firmwares. The most secure way is checking using IMEI:

- First 8 digits of Chinese model: 35969406 -> YD206

- First 8 digits of International model: 35643106 -> YD201

Hope it's clearer now..
[YotaPhone] Gioeli:
This clears a lot of confusions. But i think even from yota are not so sure about the cpu. You can see on their own website that the cpu on 201 is 801. I own 201 purchased exactly from their own website and the confusion start when you open the quick guide and see the specs there - Snapdragon 800. The whole misunderstanding is starting from Yota themselfs.
[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
Chinese YD206 mostly use the Snapdragon 801

The Chinese YD206 mostly use the Snapdragon 801, it's very similar to 800, but has h265 hardware decoder and some slight speed and energy optimizations.
[YotaPhone] YotaDevicesRussia:
THank you a lot for clarifying this! and I would like to tell all YotaPhone users and potential buyers that yes, if you flash YD206 with CN radio the phone will work much better and more correctly regarding LTE and 3G - yes, actually you won't have super fast LTE, but in my case I have stable 3G connection in the city and in the country - guys, I checked the speedtest and I have 15 (22.30 Mb/s) and 3 (22.15) Mb/s! - it's even better than before

[YotaPhone] trentbg:
Kinda of a bummer that is the one with the slowest Adreno frequency, anyway is there a way to combine both CN and Ru radios, to have best of both worlds?
[YotaPhone] 1248:
More confusion, but I'll believe TheArt

The same website referenced above shows 3 models.

YD201 (Russian 2014), YD205 (International) and 206 (Chinese) both 2015.

https://www.frequencycheck.com/compare-devices/dMbixz/yota-yotaphone-2-yd205/yota-yotaphone-2-yd206

Click on each phone and it shows the specific bands covered for that model.

HOWEVER I can't find any other reference to the YD205. AND

This site sells both the 201 (marked international) and 206 shows the differences and has a nice LTE chart which I copied but are very specific about the Snapdragon 800 which is hard to believe 1.5 years after Yotaphone switched to the 801 IF they switched.

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...Inch-FHD-Always-on-E/2026051_32727803466.html

TrustedReviews shows Snapdragon 800 as well as a large # of sellers specifying the 800.

On the other hand GSMarena shows this:

Announced	2014, February

Status	Available. Released 2014, December

Platform	OS	Android OS, v4.4.3 (KitKat), upgradable to v5.0 (Lollipop)

Chipset	Qualcomm Snapdragon 801

CPU	Quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400

GPU	Adreno 330

There is a LOT of misinformation on the net by sources I normally trust so confusion is rampant. I still am. The 801 was announced March 2014 by Qualcomm after the YD201 was.

I can't find an availability date for the 801 so it's still up in the air.

I did read one site I trusted that stated that the 2 changed from the 800 to the 801 in 2015 and even gave a month but I can't find it so I'm still undecided but don't care as I have the 801 which supports x265 natively,

The 201, 205 and 206 may, repeat may have different radio electronics as the 205 has considerably more bands.

It may only have different firmware. Only Yotaphone knows but the failure here to flashing the radio FW and not changing band coverage seems to infer there may be a hardware difference.

This shows the coverage differences between the YD205 and YD206. 201 vs 206 above.https://www.frequencycheck.com/compare-devices/dMbixz/yota-yotaphone-2-yd205/yota-yotaphone-2-yd206

Just change the 2XX in the URL above to compare any 2 Yotaphone 2 models you want.

Not just bands covered but protocols are different in different countries and carriers within that country so just looking at bands covered doesn't tell all you need to know.

I use www.frequencycheck.com, http://www.gsmarena.com, http://www.spectrummonitoring.com, http://www.worldtimezone.com and a few others to figure out what can be covered by a phone and there is often some disagreement there.

The radio section of a ROM is written for a specific area of the world and takes a skilled and experienced programmer to modify for best coverage within the cellphones electronics limitations.

Without the documented source code, the frequencies covered by the electronics AND the specs of each band in the area you want to cover it's almost impossible to modify the code.

Personally I'm just going to go by what TheArt posted about using the CN radio with my rooted LP YD206 and use 3G here in Mexico since data plans are expensive and I'm usually near a WiFi connection.

Onward and downward

You need to install CN Radio if you want your YD206 phone work better.

don't detect

Hello there,

I was trying to update my fw into EU fw, but my device was not detect while I try to flash the fw, why is that?

the 'waiting for device' just keep on going without detecting any, am stuck from here although I have finish download the EU1.1.124b from yotaphone_flasher.

can anyone give me a guild to do so, and also the latest I need to know before updating the fw, is there any other I must do to keep the device going smooth because I just received my phone 2 days ago and it's in CN version.
[YotaPhone] trentbg:
Is there any black ones left, not really a fan of those colored ones on a black phone?
[YotaPhone] YotaDevicesRussia:
what instructions and recommendations are you using? the exact links would be great. And you need to install CN radio instead of RU or EU, that will make the device work correctly.
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
C'mon do a bit of reading here, that same question has been asked 50 times before #LAZY
[YotaPhone] shokmah:
finally bought it from myef*x, they were specifying international version (yd201) shipped on 4feb and received today (sf express shipping to france) according to box and IMEI it's real 201 as [MENTION=4493540]TheArt.[/MENTION] said so.

I have 2 different network contract that use different bands here. I might test different ones to see how it goes.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Yes, most probably YotaPhone 2 was announced with SnapDragon 800 as that was the latest version available at that time. However, when they started producing and selling it, they might have already upgraded to S801. I suppose only a few initial smartphones produced might have S800.

By the way, on the YotaPhone2 box, where you see the IMEI and model information, there is also year&week production, indicates as 15/20 for example.
[YotaPhone] borekon:
Try the wifi connection and twll us if it works fine.

For me, wifi works like a s*it. I walk away from router, at 2 meter speed decreases. I walk away more than 2 meters, wifi drops or don't work
[YotaPhone] shokmah:
:

+10 meters + 2 "wall" >> 4/5 wifi receiption icon in status bar so excellent for me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

catch LTE network better than my moto G LTE .

run on Snapdragon 801 and true YD201

build week 16/50 >> just 2 months ago

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it was on HK kitkat > FLASHED latest LP RU FW > then OTA > then BL unlock

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then tried magisk v11.1 for systemless SU AND xposed: installed like a charm but magiskSU didn't work

so uninstall > reinstall same issue

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

flashed twrp v5 > root superSU

-------------------------------------------------------------------

installed xposed installer 3.1.1 App

epd

- never succeed to unlock through slide up lock gesture

- ghosthing sometimes in yotamirror mode but black and white blinking randomly refresh the screen.

what else :

- battery go down quite fast

- automatic brightness is always too dark, manual minimum is too bright

I use OGyoutube (download, screenOff playing, etc...) but couldn't login via microG cuz stuck on "wait a sec..." screen ( restored accounts from old phone titanium backup to login, suspect it's due to microG) .
[YotaPhone] Uergh:
I have a hard time flashing my YD206....

I've downloaded the EU 5.0 1.1.123b and combined it with the chinese radio files. The Yotaflasher won't flash the system.img, so I've flashed it via the fastboot command. Then it keeps bootlooping in the Yotaphone startanimation. Now I've managed to get it up and running again with the EU 4.4.3 3.61 Version and I'm trying a OTA update.

Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong using fastboot and yotaflasher?

What I did:

- tried to flash EU 5.0 1.1.124b with chinese radio

- yotaflasher flashed everything except system.img

- fastboot flashed it with the -S 512 command

- "Powered by Android" --> "Yotaphone" animation --> crash

- Downloaded the firmware again and reflashed everything

- bootloop

After that I flashed the stock chinese 4.4.3 and it was rebooting like every 2 minutes, out of nowhere.. The EU 4.4.3 seems to work fine. Idk.. OTA Update incoming.

EDIT: nope. Still bootlooping at the Yotaphone animation..

EDIT 2: tried again. SUCCESS!

- reflashed EU 4.4.3 to get it working again

- enabled USB Debugging

- combined the CN 4.4.3 1.0.3.32a radio drivers with the RU 5.0 1.1.24 firmware

- used the reworked yota flasher with chunk upload enabled by default

- installed without any errors, took like 15-20minutes to get from the first reboot to the desktop

- 182mb OTA Update afterwards works too
[YotaPhone] cillo1234:
Rom Crash while flashing

I'm super dumb when it comes to computers but love the idea of the Yotaphone. I got stuck the same place as you did. Where do you type in the command? is this in the Yotaflasher program.. I'm giving it a go but with no luck. Might have a brick on my hands. .lol serves me right..
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Guys just follow the main guide here on xda: https://xdaforums.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194

It has the reworked yotaflasher which flashes system automatically with that command. Everything is explained there.
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
All these questions have already been asked on here 50 times, cmon do some reading. MAIN GUIDE ABOVE.

If you are really "super dumb" about computers and phones, it is strongly recommended not to attempt flashing yourself. This is a moderately difficult technical task, get someone technical to do the flashing or use the software that is on the yotaphone already
[YotaPhone] wd280:
No luck at all.

You are fortunate if you can revive the YD206 at all. I purchased one from China and it worked for a few weeks, then fell to the 'powered by android' symptom by itself - I made no attempt to flash or root the device.

I've read every post here and every related post on other threads, with no luck.

Partial (sparse) system.img flashing didn't help.

Changing cable and USB port did not help.

No CN or HK or EU firmware worked, although yotaphone_flasher.exe did return 'okay' on every write.

Removing windows 8/10 driver signature enforcement did not help

'Unblocking' individual files is useless.

Nobody here has conclusively stated which USB driver is needed (if that's the case), the included driver and the 'latest' both show as healthy in Win 10 device manager.

The Kedacom USB driver is trouble and has to be avoided.

All I can do now is wait until I have a Win.7 PC handy and try that, it seems impossible with Win.10 64
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
I guess that your adb and fast boot drivers are not correctly installed. So nothing is being transferred to your phone when you use yotaflasher. But in that case you would receive errors. If you can , try other PCs to flash the Yotaphone as you suspected. There are many hints about qualcomm and adb/fastboot driver installation on here .
[YotaPhone] borekon:
maybe the internal nand is faulty
[YotaPhone] casaprocida:
Did you try with YotaFlasherReworked ?
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
If you start a DOS window with "cmd" , connect the phone to your windows machine in bootloader mode (fastboot). Run "adb devices" in the cmd window. If your drivers are ok, you will see a device ID.
[YotaPhone] sutchinger:
stuck on "writing 'system' "

Hi, i tried several firmwares and techniques now and nothing seems to work.

I installed adb and qualcomm drivers, USB Debugging is active, first try with yotaflasher seemed ok, but after reboot only "powered by Android" showed up (waited for 1.5 hours to be sure).

Tried then another firmware, but i´m now stuck on "writing system"

When i use the fastboot with 512MB it sends and writes the first part, then after sending the second it stucks on writing again.

Already tried different HK, RU and EU firmwares, no difference.

tried fastboot erase system -w too, because thought that will help, same result.

Any idea what I can do next?

Yes as i described at the title, i have a big problem, i changed theme and want to change it again to an another theme

first problem is, the theme is not complete applyed, ok so i changed to stock and then changed to theme i wanted

but its again not complete applyed, ok so every cm designer has written a note a reboot is required for complete applying theme

i did it, and then booom

a completely black screen, only the back button of the soft navbar is here and the homescreen isnt loading anymore

i can do nothing at his black screen, safe mode is the same and after 5000 Reboots nothing ....

what could it be ?

only solution was a factory reset ....
[P8lite General] elessarelfstar:
The is question about MMS is regarding receiving MMS on the SIM that is not set to default for LTE. I believe I understand how data works regarding the dual sim setup on the phone -- both sims have the ability to connect to LTE, but only one sim can connect at time. The non-LTE set sim will only connect to 2g/3g for voice/text (no data even if connected to 3G, correct?).

My question is very specific: If I have LTE set to, say, sim 1, what happens if someone sends a MMS based group message to me on sim 2? I figure one of 3 things happens:

1. The MMS is downloaded and received automatically (whether through 2G/3G on SIM 2, or that somehow SIM 2 switches to LTE in the background so that it can download the MMS)

2. The MMS is not downloaded, but SIM 2 receives a sms notification that an MMS is ready for download (which would be done by either just tapping download to make the phone switch LTE to SIM 2 in the background, or by manually switching the LTE to SIM 2, then tapping download)

3. There is no indication on the phone that an MMS has been sent to SIM 2, and I either miss it completely, or only see it if I just happen to switch LTE to SIM 2 at some later date (before the expiration date, anyway).

Can anyone help to clarify this for me? I can live with options 1 or 2, but 3 would be difficult to live with. My understanding is that with many Dual Sim Dual Active phones, the behavior is that of option 2. I'm hoping that Dual Standby is similar when it comes to MMS receiving. SIM 2 would be for work, and MMS-based group messages are sent out when urgent issues come up (work in IT, and I am on call often).

Any insight is appreciated. My goal is to get a phone that is both dual sim (support for LTE on either sim) and supports Android for Work. So far the only devices that I've seen in this price range are the P8 Lite and the Honor 5x (both the Zenfone 2 and Laser meet one of these needs or the other, but not both).
[P8lite General] elessarelfstar:
I just realized I posted this in General rather than Q&A. My apologies. Spent some time before I posted this in a forum for a different phone that had General and Q&A kind of mixed into one. A mod can feel free to move it if they want.

I think Fracoon is right, even if you are doing a lite version of his ROM you can't call it "Stripped version of Fracoon's NewArtemis 2.1 Final ROM", it's his work.

Usually the guys (or girls) that cook ROMs use some tools or programs or whatever from other people and they state that in some kind of disclaimer e.g.: Thanx to bepe for his tools, tom for showing me how to use ...-program or whatever.

It's a great idea to make such a ROM, I think there hasn't been anything like this in this forum but I would feel the same when someone is starts a thread about publishing a lite version of my ROM without sending me a PM or talking about it with me. Of course Fracoon doesn't have copyright on his ROM but you are showing respect if you change the title of this thread and your posts to something like Ultra-Lite WM6 ROM. Saying you are planning to cook a ROM based on Fracoons ROM sound much more polite :D!
