This is a carbon ROM based on 4.4 that works on lollipop bootloader, i think this is that you are looking for. There isn't the bug of screen flickering

I've got a yotaphone YD206 from China. tried to flash the latest firmware RU 1.87 with offical yotaphne flasher , it seems ok on my laptop, but after reboot, it stucked in a boot loop (shows android logo, then black screen). I did a few times restart, still not working. I can get to the "Downloading" screen via power + vol down key.

I've also tried using the Yotaphone flasher to flash the other full android images, such as EU, HK ones, which all downloaded from the flasher menu "option 2" - this also looked like everything was OK on the laptop, but didn't seem to change anything on the phone once the process was complete. it always went to stuck in the bright android logo.

Finally, when I tried to flash the CN version, the phone went live again.

Is there anything I'm did wrong or anything else I can try? really want to have the original EU or RU Lollipop......Any help much appreciated!

also , after flashed the new CN version, the e-link back screen look fine but it doesn't response at all to swip up unlock. I can only use the power off key to unlock it. Any idea ? this is a brand new one , I only had it for a few days. it doesn't look like a hardware problem.
[YotaPhone] xingshi356:
I just got the same problem as you.

Tried HK 5.0 RU 5.0 etc..., no firmware is flashable by my YD206. I found when the YT-flasher load the system.img, it reported error, but other .img files were good. I could select Y to continue flashing, but it just turned out to failure as you described. Whether it has something with this?

Anyone could help, appreciated!

---------- Post added at 07:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 AM ----------

Another guess, My YD206 is rooted. It may has something with the failure?
[YotaPhone] vivagonna:
Maybe unlock bootloader can do？ I'm just guessing.
[YotaPhone] xingshi356:
Great! I just solved the problem.

THe root cause is system.img is too big for my PC memory. So I just type THe manual command below to flash The system.img and it turned out ok.

fastboot.exe flash -S 512M system firmware/system.img
[YotaPhone] mc_gee:
Hi.

One quick question - have you flashed your YD206 with European firmware and now it appears as YD201 (including LTE bands b7/b20) ...or you just have YD201 too?

EDIT: In other words - is it possible to flash YD206 with firmware for YD201?
[YotaPhone] veper:
I've received YD 206 version from Tinydeal today and it successfully upgraded from 4.4.3-HK firmware to latest 5.0 EU.

Model is now shown as YD 201 instead of 206.

Edit: LTE bands are the same as were before the upgrade.
[YotaPhone] ronnyalexman:
Hi

How did you upgrade it? I bought the same device from Tinydeal, I have YD206, then in Device Information it isn't "Check Update" option.

How did you use the yotaflasher for do it?

Which firmware did you download?

did you bought the CN version?

[IMG="yd206"]http://oi68.tinypic.com/14me4jk.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks for your attention
[YotaPhone] veper:
There is no Update option under Settings in version 4.4.3 (CN version YD-206).

You have to manually upgrade - download Yota Flasher from their ftp server first: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/YotaPhoneFlasher/

Install the Flasher onto your PC.

Then you have to have USB drivers installed and put the phone into Download mode (power it off, then power it on by pressing Power button + Vol Down button simultaneously).

Start the Yota Flasher on your PC, make it download latest FW for the Region you choose and lastly make it flash the new fw to your phone.

Reboot the phone and wait about 5 minutes and there comes your Lollipop setup screen.

Hope that helps.

Edit: I've installed EU version 5.0.0-EU1.1.124b (the latest that was offered by Yota Flasher) and now in Lollipop the phone also has the Update option under Settings.
[YotaPhone] Electropherogram:
For me YotaFlasher was failing to do the job and left the phone in a boot loop but then I used fastboot, flashed each partition separately (with a command for chopping system.img into chunks as xingshi356 described a few posts above) and now it smoothly runs the latest RU firmware :)

Just to mention one thing, make sure you have installed drivers from Yotaflasher folder because otherwise Windows takes something random that doesn't work.

I have this phone since yesterday and it is phenomenal, absolutely worth its current discount price.

Can't flash YD 206

Hello Electropherogram,

Can you help me, I tried to flash my YD206 with Yotaflasher, but it's desn't work. I tried with fastboot but it's doesn't work to, I havewriting 'system'...FAILED ( remote: Unkknow chunk type).

Can you help me, can you tell me the command I must to write.

Thank you very much

New: I tried again to flash and now I didn't connect my phone, I lost boot to "downling..." It boot and stay with "Powered by android". I can't power off.
[YotaPhone] Electropherogram:
I had similar messages and many attempts. Summarising, I did the following:

-I found a thread on using fastboot (I never heard about it before… I’m definitely not an expert!) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

-I unzipped the archive with firmware in the location of the program

-I plugged the phone in downloading mode

-I checked in device manager if it is detected as “Android Composite ADB Interface - fastboot”

-I entered the basic commands for erasing and flashing every partition as described in fastboot thread on XDA with one exception for system.img – I typed something like “fastboot flash -S 512M system system.img” so it was uploaded in parts.

-I restarted the phone and after about 10 minutes it was ready to go.

You may need to charge your phone as the energy goes away very quickly even when connected via USB.

I hope that helps!
[YotaPhone] ronnyalexman:
i made it!

my yotaphone wasn't rooted.

I downloaded yotaflasher and in the program I downloaded the firmware.

Next I closed the program.

- I pluged mi yotaphone in download mode

- I opened yotaflasher, and i selected the first option(flash firmware).

10 minutes later I already had Llolipop!!! :D

TLE 800 working?

Hello guys,

i think about buying the YD201 because it has the LTE 800 for germany.

Please can you check if your LTE 800 is working after flashing YD201 fw over YD206 hardware.

Than i would buy the YD206, becuase it's cheaper.

Thanks

Hello,

I did what you do and now it's OK, my phone is on lollipop EU. Thank you vert much.

Other question, I live on France and I have troubles to receive my cell network. At home I received H+ and now nothing, no service...anybody know that ?

just receive but not try to check cell network yet
[YotaPhone] Billidjinn:
Hello,

Same issue for me on french network with my new Yotaphone 2...

But I've found a way to restore the cell network...

1 ) Use Yotaphone_flasher and download this CN version : 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip

2) Close Yotaphone_Flasher

3) Open the Yotaphone_Flasher folder and copy only the RADIO folder to your desktop.

4) Use Yotaphone_flasher again and download the latest EU stock rom 5.0.0-EU1.1.124b.zip

5) Open the Yotaphone_Flasher folder and replace the RADIO folder with the CN RADIO folder you've place on your desktop

6) Execute Yotaphone_Flasher again and just flash your cellphone

7) Let the phone reboot

Works like a charm for me... (LTE ok / H+ ok / wifi ok )

I hope it will be helpfull for you and perhaps everyone in EU.

Flashing directly to lollipop didn't work to me. So I was flashing to kit kat and it worked flawlessly. Then I update to lollipop ota. I encountered bad network reception, but thanks to Billidjin, I followed his instruction. I reflashed lollipop with yotaflasher (with CN firmware radio). My yotaphone 2 battery life is great. I don't encounter any issues so far.

solve my problem

Dear Yota-Users!

yesterday, I had the same issues when flashing my Hongkong Yotaphone2 to EU firmware. I got errors from Yotaflash, so after flashing my phone stuck in a boot-loop.

Here on XDA I read the hint, that the solution could be sufficent memory of your PC. That was my problem, and in addition my space of harddisk was to low. After get rid of that problems, I was able to flash properly to Lollipop.

Thanx for advice

Thank you

Its a YD206

Dear friend,

I see your message, that you repaired its phone after unsuccessful flash from YD206 to YD201.

I am stuck at powered by android after a flash, how do I go back to download mode? cant shutdown :eek:eek:O
[YotaPhone] welison:
The low firmware yotaphone_flasher but decompresses. Is 2 hours on the download screen 100%.

Can I decompress with winrar and manually place the yotaphone_flasher folder? Or when the yotaphone_flasher decompresses it creates some additional file in the folder?
[YotaPhone] Ameb:
I think you should let yotaflasher decompress the zip. If it's compressed maybe is corrupt. I would delete the file and let yotaflasher re download the files again.

Im trying what [MENTION=7736073]Billidjinn[/MENTION] suggested and after reboot the phone seems to be on a reboot loop (after showing boot animation for a while).

yotaphone animation -> black screen -> reboot -> yotaphone animation

Pressing the power button in the loop it boots to safe mode, and then shutodwn/restart to download/system recovery.

Tried to wipe data & cache, and now is only showing boot animation. Like right after flash. Ill update.

Update:

Again phone is stuck on loop, but i just realized i selected the wrong EU rom, so im downloading the 124b now.

Update2:

Flashed it, and after about 15 mins on boot screen (applying update prolly) its alive. But wifi is still reporting no signal whenever signal goes below -70dB on wifi analyzer.

Finally flashed kitkat to get wifi working.
[YotaPhone] JackVF:
How I updated

Hey, I just received my yd206 from Hongkong.

First I tried to flash the latest 5.0.0 EU version with the yotaflasher which caused the phone to stay in the boot screen for over one hour. The I killed the phone and flashed the 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.51a.zip

Then the phone runs again and did all the updates to the newest 5.0.0 version.
[YotaPhone] dajmaa:
What do you mean by drivers from yota folder
[YotaPhone] Electropherogram:

[YotaPhone] Paul Manus:
Hello all, I read the thread to flash my new Yota 206 to 201 with android 5. After I downloaded the Firmware through yotaFlasher I pressed Flash with my Phone in download mode plugged in. Now YotaFlasher says: <waiting for device> My question: What should I do. Haven´t I installed the right thing? Please tell me if you need more information.

Greetings,

Paul
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
It sounds like the yotaphone drivers where not installed. They are in a sub folder of the yotaflasher folder.
[YotaPhone] Paul Manus:
Hi, thanks for your reply,

It may be sound weird, but because I never done this before, but how do I do this? When I open the sub folder Driver there is a folder called Google, in it there are 2 .cat things, are they the solution? Furthermore there are an .inf thing and two sub-folders. well, I think you know what is in there :D

Greetings,

Paul
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Right click on the .inf thing and select install. That should do the trick. Maybe you have to reboot your PC after that to get it working.
[YotaPhone] Paul Manus:
Bad news, it still won´t work. I installed the Driver as you said and rebooted my PC. I plugged my phone in (with download mode enabled) but still YotaFlasher tells me its waiting for devices. Argh!!!

hope you can help me, thanks already for the done.

Greetings,

Paul
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Is your phone connected to a USB3 port? This caused me soms problems in the past.

Also when the phone is in download mode you can try starting a command window on your PC, navigate to the yotaflasher folder and type the command fastboot devices to see if fastboot can connect to your phone.
[YotaPhone] Paul Manus:
Well, I don´t get it. I started a command window, but how should I look if fastboot connects. Ive downloaded the minimal adb and fastboot program but I seem to be to dumb to use youre advice. So Sorry, but could you explain it more easy for the not so intelligent people as I am :D

Greetings Paul
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Sure, no problem. :)

When you open a command prompt navigate to the yotaflasher folder on your PC. In the default setting this will be C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher or C:\Program Files\yotaphone_flasher You can get there by typing cd C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher or cd C:\Program Files\yotaphone_flasher and hitting return. After this you are in the yota flasher folder and you can type fastboot devices followed by hitting return. This should display the devices fastboot can connect to.
[YotaPhone] Paul Manus:
First of all, thanks a lot.

If theres no output it can´t connect? Because thats what happened after following your instructions. My Yota is still plugged in so this shoud work, no?

Do you have a clou what can fix this?

Greetings Paul :confused:
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Sounds like you did eveything right and yes, no output means no fastboot device is found. Unfortunately my knowledge stops here apart from the more obvious can you test it with another usb cable / usbport / computer. If I come across something that looks like a solution for you I will be sure to post an update.
[YotaPhone] klettervirus:
Did anyone find a solution to being stuck at reboot ("powered by android") after flashing? I got the same problem, no chance to turn it off properly and get it started in "downloading" mode anymore....

[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
I have the same problem as Paul Manus, the handset is connected and in fastboot mode. The drivers are installed, but not working. "fastboot devices" command is not finding any connected devices. There is an error message in the driver listing of device driver "cannot start - code 10".

I am using a cheap laptop, Could it be that we are using a cut down version of Windows that doesn't support fancy things like fastboot and adb? Or maybe permissions?

It looks like I will be stuck with the China/HK version of software. But at least it says it has Google play Installed.
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Out of curiosity, are the AMD64 or the i386 drivers installed on your system? You can check this by comparing the size of the installed androidusb.sys in C:\Windows\System32\drivers with the size in the AMD64 and i386 folders in the yotaflasher folder. It is either 31kb (AMD64) or 26kb (i386).

Another option is to deinstall the drivers and try the generic Google one. A nice and simple install can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
[YotaPhone] Paul Manus:
Hi,

Well my androidusb.sys is 31kb big, thats correct, no? So should I install the Google one or are they fine 2 use?

Greetings

Paul
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Just trying to eliminate what could be the cause but I have the AMD64 drivers as well and it works for me.

If it is not working currently it can't hurt to deinstall the drivers and install the default Google one to see if they work.

Securely get images and custom rom for Yotaphone2

Hi everyone! This is my first post here in xda-developers.

I'm wondering where you guys securely get images from Yota, I only find an ftp server without signatures. Also, I'd like to know if someone is trying to make a custom rom from source. My yotaphone is a YD206 and I want to try to make a rom or collaborate making it.

[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
I was tinkering with the drivers using suggestions from virtualeech, when shock horror, the drivers displayed ok and then I tried fastboot and it was ok too. The flashing was very quick and now I have a russian Yd201 currently downloading lollipop!

My question is about the LTE bands, I guess the yd201 firmware is now assuming there are different radio bands to the actual hardware, so are my Asian bands not working now (I live in Asia)?

I cannot really replicate how I got the drivers working, I forced the driver from yotaphone to be the adb composite driver using "add legacy driver" in device driver. Always use the "have disk" button. If you have problems with adb drivers, code 10, flashing will not work, your PC cannot talk to your yotaphone. First developer mode must be set and then USB debugging. To verify your drivers are working before you attach the yotaphone, start a DOS command window on your PC and use the "fastboot devices" command in your yotaflasher folder. If it says "waiting" the PC and yotaphone are not communicating. Ignore any advice about cables, plugs if you have a adb driver problem. The problem is your driver. You do not need to unpack the firmware in yotaflasher.
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
Good news! Have fun with your flashed YotaPhone and thanks for sharing the steps you took to get there.

If the RU LTE bands are not working in your country you can swap the radio om the RU version with the radio from the CH or HK version and then flash this modified RU firmware. I haven't done this myself but there are some people who did here in the YotaPhone forum. Basically you replace the radio folder in the firmware folder of the yotaflasher and then use yotaflasher to flash.

The yotaphone switches itself on when a cable is attached , that's annoying for me. Even when i put the phone on the wireless charger.

I cannot work out how to set the on/off auto rotate, there was a orientation lock on my yd206 I cannot find it here, I've looked for long time. Does anyone know where this is on the yotaphone ?
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
I use the latest RU firmware and for me the option to lock / unlock screen rotate is in the display menu in settings. It is one option above the last option (the last option being cast screen).
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
I also have the Russian 1.134 but there's no option above screen cast
[YotaPhone] VirtuaLeech:
My bad, I have seem to have skipped a step. You first have to enable screen rotate in the Accessibility menu. After that it will appear in the display menu and the dropdown menu.
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
Ah , OBVIOUSLY the accessibility ! (not). ��

Thanks so much, last place I would look, accessibility section . It works OK now. Funny all the Russian things on it, even Russian novels. I studied Russian at school for 5 years, so I know some.

When I charge the yotaphone that has been switched automatically, I put it into airplane mode to speed up the charging, it takes 100 minutes on my quick charger .

The yotaphone begins to grow on me, there is a learning curve, navigating is the immediate problem. But good fun. Yota selfie is fun

LTE_Radio Issue

hi,

i saw the method from Bilidjinn earlier that sad:

"1 ) Use Yotaphone_flasher and download this CN version : 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip

2) Close Yotaphone_Flasher

3) Open the Yotaphone_Flasher folder and copy only the RADIO folder to your desktop.

4) Use Yotaphone_flasher again and download the latest EU stock rom 5.0.0-EU1.1.124b.zip

5) Open the Yotaphone_Flasher folder and replace the RADIO folder with the CN RADIO folder you've place on your desktop

6) Execute Yotaphone_Flasher again and just flash your cellphone

7) Let the phone reboot"

so that Yotaphone would be also LTE capable in EU.

but if use yotaphone_flasher to download the FWs i can't find those .zip files on PC nowhere...(WIN10/explorer nor Totalcommander)

..so i thought okay let's just have those zip files from FTP server.

done i have them both as in the description.

can you please descibe a method what to do from this point?

Is it possible to flash only the Radio from FW 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip to Yotaphone via Fastboot commands?:eek:

Thanks a lot!
