I Guess you are Indonesian, is a 4G network works in Indonesia? Because your screenshot showing "E" on the network status.

I wanna buy this phone & considering this phone because much cheaper than Global version with the same specs. But I doubt if I install that ROM, OTG, 4G network wouldn't work, or I can't receive / make calls like the reports from the other.

Did you happen another issue with that ROM?

Thanks

Asus recently released the WW and US version of the Android N ROM. I am also using CMCC ROM and I tried to flash the phone with the latest WW version of the Android N ROM, using SP Flash but when I tried to import the scatter.txt file from the latest ROM, SP Flash does not recognise it. Has anybody has any idea how I can flash my phone using the latest WW Android N ROM, please?

BRICK !!!

Hello.

I installed the firmware from the russian forum and now the phone is bricked. It just shows a black screen when turned on. I've tried to reinstall many different stock rom and the situation didn't change. Can you help me, please ?
[General Questions and Answers] corvo4791:
Ok. I've found the final solution.

NOTE: I did this on a chinese ASUS PEGASUS 3 X008 with CCMCC_Phone-13.0.0.25 firmware.

You can download this firmware: https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B4wiLlpGIZ4BNkRrWE9TSng1UHM&export=download

You can access the same file from this page: https://unbrick.id/raw-firmware-asus-zenfone-3-max-zc520tl/

Just flash the firmware with SP FLASH TOOL.

You will lose the IMEI, after the flash but it's very simple to restore them. Remember to take note of the IMEI numbers before flashing.

You can restore di IMEI number with SN_Write_Tool_v1.1728.00

The data base you have to use to make SN_Write_Tool to work are:

MD1_DB = Modem_Database_lwg

AP_DB = AP_Database

You can easily find Modem_Database_lwg and AP_Database in the firmware folder.

After this you will have an ASUS ZENFONE 3 MAX with WW firmware, including PLAY STORE and multilanguage firmware. No chinese apps.

You can also install official WW firmware from ASUS official site and have ANDROID 7 :D

ASUS OFFICIAL FIRMWARE: https://www.asus.com/us/Phone/ZenFone-3-Max-ZC520TL/HelpDesk_Download/

After the flashing procedure i installed the official Version WW-14.01.1707.43 (Android N) and it work perfectly. Enjoy.

[General Questions and Answers] kolarz20:
Hi I just download the package but this ROM is valid only for processor Mediatek MT6737T is it right? Will it also work with Mediatek MT6737M?

Do you also know how to backup NVRAM? I did not manage to do it with Mtk droid or directely in adb console.
[General Questions and Answers] corvo4791:
It works just with Mediatek MT6737T.

I can't help you with the NVRAM. I never did this operation.
[General Questions and Answers] Manics8898:
corvo4791, Thanks for the link to a ROM that could be flashed using SPFlashTool. After installing the ROM, I attempted an update to Android N and while the phone detected the .ZIP firmware file, upon reboot, it failed half way through the update (during the screen that shows the green Android robot). I am not sure if this is due to the phone's serial number being wiped when I ran SPFlashTool (it wiped IMEI but I was able to restore those). My question to you is did you have to restore your serial number?
[General Questions and Answers] corvo4791:
No, I had not any problem with the serial number.

Check if the ZIP file is about 1,8 GigaBytes. It's possible the zip file is corrupt. It happened the same to me, cause the file i downloaded was corrupt.

Anyway, try to install this: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...0740.3734122.1503752191-1072235632.1503752191

It's the one that worked for me. After the installation of this firmware, try to install the most recent version again.
[General Questions and Answers] Manics8898:
Corvo4791, Thank you very much! I appreciate your quick and helpful response. I owe you a beer!
[General Questions and Answers] kolarz20:
Hi thx for info, so I managed to install the new software and update to Android 7.0 but honestly one thing left, I placed IMEI but MEID can not be placed. I did not find any working solution how to change MEID in the updated device. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] corvo4791:
Have you solved, so? :D:D:D

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Sorry, Man ... Do IMEI and MEID are the same thing, right?

In this case:

You can restore di IMEI number with SN_Write_Tool_v1.1728.00

The data base you have to use to make SN_Write_Tool to work are:

MD1_DB = Modem_Database_lwg

AP_DB = AP_Database

You can easily find Modem_Database_lwg and AP_Database in the firmware folder.

[YotaPhone] jonathanacohen:
I'm looking for a cool, unique phone. I don't use my phone much, mostly for SMS, playing music on the way to/from work, Waze, Uber, and a lot of reading the Web and Reddit. No heavy games.

As some have mentioned, there are sites where it's about $200 CAD, which I'm assuming is them getting rid of stock.

Any thoughts? It's either the Yotaphone 2, something else, or wait until the bendy Galaxy S8 :)
[YotaPhone] MonsieurSun:
Hi Jonathan

As a very proud and happy Yotaphone 2 owner, I definitely recommend it.

First of all, I'm still in love with its second screen.

My main EPD panel shows clock & battery+ notifications + switch tools (mobile data, wifi...). Think that all these infos and options are always displayed and accessible with a double-tap, and that's perfect. When you discover that it's possible, you realize that should be mandatory for every device, in fact.

I think I use the EPD 80% of the time, it's perfect for all the messaging apps, for example. Twitter also works very well. Generally, I find activities like typing or reading very nice on the EPD, because you can take your time. It may not seem like an obvious edge, but I came to the conclusion that's soothing and good for mental health.

Aging? I think I'm not a smartphone power user, like you, and I don't play much. Yet, it still perfectly handles Internet navigation and apps (GMaps, Pokémon,...).

And, last but not least, the people around me love it. It draws attention, and for some, it's even viewed as some kind of magical device.

Beautiful, nice to handle, build quality, there's so much good to say about this device that I can't do it alone. For me, its bigger flaws were related to my extensive use of the EPD : no EPD backlight, the lack for more and more EPD apps, and their lack of features (compared to the not-EPD apps), but even that is improving with system updates (another big one rolled just yesterday, in Europe). It could also use SD card and second SIM slots, but it would be too close to perfection.

Thanks to the guys in Yota.
[YotaPhone] ygrigory:
Hi MonsieurSun, thanks for your opinion.

I also interested in that device and this is one of the forums with more Info about it.

I have been reading and I have thought about buying a case tpu but do not know whether to buy also screen saver. I would like to know your opinion also on better version of firmware and the various extensions to the EPD screen I've seen on the forum. Thank you and sorry for my English.
[YotaPhone] MonsieurSun:
Hello

You are asking about the accessories, right ?

I just bought a plain black bumper a while ago, and nothing else. It cost around 10€ and saves the phone from bad falls (it did for me twice) and protects both screens. My screens still look like pristine ones, one year after purchase.

The most recent firmware EU .124 I already mentioned contains a lot of nice improvements and fixes, though it also brought one new and annoying bug : the EPD screen randomly (haven't found any specific pattern yet) freezes when typing SMS. It can be de-frozen with a simple lock/unlock, but it happens often to me. This is the only drawback so far, the update is very, very useful, but it's pretty obvious and upsetting.

As for applications, I installed several EPD tools from the store or from the forum, mostly the ones adding switches, but I ended up disappointed. My wild guess is that most of them would need me to root the device to bypass some privileges to work well, and I don't plan to root it. Typically, I wanted a mobile data and GPS switch, but these just invoke the parameter page where you have to switch the... well, switch, yourself.

I also installed a Playstore clock app with more infos, but the clock does not refresh itself every second, and minutes can go by without displaying the right time. Pretty useless.

To sum it up, I think that most of these apps work fine if you use them on a rooted phone, unlike me.

The EPD apps delivered by Yota work fine, and there's a thread around here just about ideas for new EPD apps.
[YotaPhone] ygrigory:
The phone is already on the way and a bumper too. Thanks for your help, I'll keep reading the forum.
[YotaPhone] vombruch:
>It could also use SD card and second SIM slots, but it would be too close to perfection.

Does it have a SD-Slot?
[YotaPhone] MonsieurSun:
No, it does not have any extra slots. I still don't have any issue with its 32 Go storage, but I guess some will.

To me, the extra screen is a nicer bonus :)

And I should also mention something about its charger. It's a nice-looking one (lights up when charging), and it looks very fast compared to most ones I saw before and since. Full charge from zero is done in less than 2 hours. I saw some deep review about it somewhere in the forums...

Yd206 or yd201?

Hi,

I'm thinking of buying a yotaphone 2.

But which one should I buy?

Hardware info about both is a bit fuzzy.

Am I correct that yd206 has Snapdragon 801 and yd201 has Snapdragon 800?

Im on European 4g T-Mobile network, so supported band might be an issue.

Please if someone has any info, respond here :)

Thanks.
[YotaPhone] king conan:
The only chinese shop with the current low price (120-140€) that offers the international version with all 4G LTD bands is coolicool.

Check it there. I orderded there a couple weeks ago. Still waiting to receive it.
[YotaPhone] j0p3y:
Efox has it too for similar price (http://www.efox-shop.com/yotaphone-...moled-fhd-bildschirm-android-44-4g-l-g-297740). Efox has not-so-great user-experiences lately, so might hesitate to buy there..

I like to hear whether there are more differences between the two models (Snapdragon 800-801?)

For this price I also can buy the Xiaomi redmi Note 3 Pro or LeEco (LeTV) Le 2 X620, which have double the Antutu score AND are supported above Android 5.0.

But they are less cool, without the E-Ink :-/

Quite in two minds here...
[YotaPhone] mc_gee:
Antelife, tinydeal, coolicool, efox-shop, myefox ...aaand probably some more I don't remember a.t.m :) - it is all the same seller. AFAIK they even share the same PayPal account (AUKEY INTERNATIONAL LIMITED). So it doesn't really matter which one you'll choose - but I'd advise you to pay with PayPal and use their protection if sth. goes wrong.

I have ordered my YD201 [MENTION=1237372]efox[/MENTION] for 129€ + ~15€ taxfree shipping to EU, but with code YP15 you'll get 15€ off so it's like a free shipping.

Both models have snap 801 (there's a new review by s7yler on YT - he had YD201 and you can see on his video that cpu-z shows 801).

Only difference is in radios (and preinstalled OS).

Well, that is up to you :)

I have BV6000, I easly get on it over 60hrs per charge with 10hrs SOT - but mostly I use it for reading stuff (web browsing, ebook, mail) so I want to give that yotaphone a try. If it won't fit my expectations I'll just resell it.
[YotaPhone] ygrigory:
My previous phone was a XRN3Pro and it's a better phone that YP2 in all specs (great camera, batery, SOC, etc.) I buy a YP2 because I really interested in the epd screen and I read a lot in my phone.

For anyother use you may buy the XRN3Pro .
[YotaPhone] j0p3y:
Thanks for the code!! :)

Strange that every seller says it has Snapdragon 800 inside. Well, maybe not so strange since you say Aukey is the main firm above them all. Once bad info is there, than it'll be everywhere down the branch :)

Well, I find it quite difficult deciding, since I first was only looking for this Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro device when all of a sudden these Yotaphones appeared everywhere, screaming 'pick me, pick me!'
[YotaPhone] mc_gee:
No prob :)

It states Snapdragon 800 over whole internet - great example of global copy-paste, where some info was repeated so many times that it became official :/

HERE is post from Yotaphone representative, where he states, that those devices has Snapdragon 801 (a part written with bold letters - it's in russian, but any translator will help U).

I had 2/16 version of RMN3P - grreat device ...with medium screen and camera quality. As ygrigory wrote before - it is overall newer and better device (spec-wise ...but still midrange, so I'm not talking about build quality here). If you will have EPD as a fancy gadget, I guess that in a long run you'll regret buying YP2. But if you read a lot ...you need to answer yourself - do you really need a higher Antutu score? :)
[YotaPhone] j0p3y:
Hi Mc_Gee, any tips on how to get the YT15 code working?

I put the phone in shopping cart, enter YT15 code and on next page I select second shipping option, German express (zollfrei) for €13,00. This is just added to the phone price of 129,99. So coupon not working (yet).

Hope you can help. Greetz edit* doh, it's YP15... which doesn't work either
[YotaPhone] Amplificator:
Try YPH10 YPT10 or YPS10 for 10% off.. maybe one of them still works.
[YotaPhone] mc_gee:
I've checked my order - it looks that I've paid 139€ and coupon works with that price ...since they lowered the price to 129€ it is not valid anymore.

Sorry mate. You can check discounts at kimovil.com so maybe you'll find a better deal.
[YotaPhone] j0p3y:
The first two work, but a popup says that it's only valid for orders in the amount of  € 139,00 and over.

Well, since the item costs €129,99 and shipping (expedited, customs-insurance) is €13,00, that should exceed this amount.

But strangely, the shipping costs are not added in the total order amount, thus the coupon-code is not accepted..

Maybe Efox knows a way; I'll post it when that's the case..
[YotaPhone] j0p3y:
... Just ordered from Efox. They sent me a personalized coupon which deducted €10,- so customs protection is 'refunded'... Now the wait has begun. In the meantime let's find some decent (quick) car charger. Any tips? PM me. Thanks

This. I have the same goal of OP here. Since now i own a xperia z1 compact it would be for me a downgrade for the hardware, but from what i've read here, it still is a good phone (3g, 4g, lte and such). My question is if it's worthwhile and if there is the possibility to upgrade the installed android?
[YotaPhone] dandyandfine:
Yes it is worth it!

I have had mine for two month's now, and defiantly say that it is worth it. I use the back screen all the time.

I really like the 'RSS' feed on the back, it keeps me up to date with news nd current afairs from all of my favorite websites, using the volume button to toggle through the stories. Makes commuting or waiting enjoyable.

I also use Pocket. It saves interesting articles from websites in a simplified format, so that I can read them later, even if I am off line.

I did the same have a silicone rubber as bumper and tempered glass on the front screen, but on the EPD can't do much because it's curved so tempered glass is not a solution,...
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
What ROM you have now, and radio?
[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
Currently with Lollipop Euro version (Waiting for the Marshmallow release from Yota), with baseband: S01_003_3034_CN1_M05, Rooted, with Xposed, Greenify and DS Battery Saver, and working smoothly.

Lollipop drains battery because it scans WiFi all the time when WiFi On or Location Services ON, so I turn OFF those when not needed. I use the Lillipop version because the EPD screen control is lot better than on the KitKat.

There's a bug in any version, and any model, that is the proximity sensor is always on when screen is ON and/or EPD is touched..., it happens in every version and model, and you can only see that when on a dark room, Yota already knows that because I have email them, so I hope they release a good Marshmallow version that solves that also. That would be good for us and will be good for their sales!
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
You know if will install HK lolilipop I will have better signal than RU? because now is no so good, I don't want that proximity sensor to be always on, so I dont install china radio with RU rom
[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
Proximity Sensor - Have you checked if the sensor is really OFF with your model, because several users with YD201 and YD206 original firmware have the problem also. the sensor works correctly, but should be off when not on phone calls, you can badly see it, it a faint red dim light, see it on a dark room, when OLED screen Off it will turn off in about 8 seconds, but will be on when you use the OLED screen, and will be ON whenever you touch the EPD when using the EPD.

Network Signal - Yes, if you have a YD206, it needs the Chinese Radio to work correctly, it will have better signal reception, it will work in 2g only correctly and have better 3g and LTE signal, and will use less battery. You can flash the radio/baseband files only on the current firmware.

What controls the Network Signal is the baseband, so does not really matter the ROM you use, the problem with Lollipop is that it sends request for WiFi scanning all the time.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
Do you know what Android 5 firmware has CN radio allready integrated? MB this way we will don't have the Proximity Sensor problem.
