Yes, after update to 6.01 I noticed there is permanent Update check notification unless I let the phone check for updates every day, which is not useful given there may be no updates anymore.

Not sure where you are trying to go. Do you mean "Settings / About phone / System updates" and click "Check for updates"? Yes this goes without saying and you can do it directly from the notification. Not sure what you mean by "Definitions". Is this solution for a rooted device?

OK, after much hesitation I have upgraded to 6.01 and phone works fine. However very big disappointment with the EDP screen.

The 3rd party reader apps that look washed-out but that's OK. However, even text in native YotaReader app becomes washed out after just 2-3 page turns. That wasn't the case with 5.x and the screen refresh worked well so I didn't notice any impact. It seems to me the refresh doesn't work at all. If I force refresh (tap button to rotate horizontal and back portrait) screen is refreshed and text becomes crisp sharp and black on white as it should be.

It's not even text leaving artifacts (which is typical or EPD) but the text on the Yota EDP after the upgrade is now irregularly washed out. I can spot some letters or parts of letters in shades of grey while other letters remain black.

That wasn't the issue on 5.x.

So I'm disappointed. It's definitively an issue and thus I do not recommend the upgrade to 6.01 if reading on EDP is dear for you.

Here is picture taken from another phone:

[IMG="YotaPhone 2 EPD washed out in 6.01"]https://2-t.imgbox.com/VK4ssHK7.jpg[/IMG]

Notice in first word "positional" the letter "p" is grey with black marks, letter "t" is black, letter "o" grey.

Hi,

After marshmallow update I cant see any email widget anymore

I used to have the beginning of last received email on the EPD (from gmail), in a similar way of what is still possible for texts.

I think the widget went along with this app, but it is not possible to install it anymore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yotadevices.yotaphone2.gmail

Any idea of how I can do this ?

yotahub issue in MM 6.0.1

Hi Gurus,

I did the flash with file yotaphone2-user-full-RU1.1.47, updated was from YD206 wit 4.4.3.

After some hours.... I can say all is working fine aparts of Yotahub (and energy consumption). E Ink display is working (mirroring, games etc) but it is is impossible to start yotahub and back screen widgets. When trying to start the app the front and back display becomes black. On the back display all the time I can see upper and lower menu bar, I can lock and unlock the back screen, but the aplication area is simly black (or with shadow from last used game or so).

Please let me know what I can do in this case. I tried to reinstall the yotahub from .apk file but it is impossible.

Should I repeat the flashing procedure or try to downgrade to 4.4.3 or 5.0?
[YotaPhone] my_first_flash:
Solved. Yota has been downgraded. Upgrade from 4.4 to 6.0 was dome with adb sideload, after it downgraded to 5.0 HK + CN radio, last possible OTA Update has been after restart automatically installed.

yotaflasher MM firmware

Hello, I'm sorry for the stupid question:

I've instalel lollipop firmware via yotaflasher but I'm not receving the ota update to MM: there's a way to "force" the OTA update?

if not, it's possiblle to install MM via yotaflasher (I can't use recovery since my phone got some problems posted here)?

If yes, can you tell me were to find that fils since yotafirmware and other FTP's are offline? If not, can you tell me where to find yotaflasher-ready firmwares (previous to lollipop)

Thanks and sorry form my poor english :D
[YotaPhone] Parmo100:
If a OTA is possible , you would have an update message. Normally you force an OTA by "settings, About Phone, System Updates".

This is the link to the firmware that I used , it helps if you have a "mega" account, but isn't necessary. Yotaflasher and all the firmwares are here.

It was built by user rufy923!

Still this thing runs really hot on MM.
[YotaPhone] asdfffffdsa:
It's been a couple of years since I've checked back on this but have there been any improvements to the 6.0 firmware with respect to the EPD screen on YD206?

No OTA LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.134

Hi guys, I'm a little desperate because all the MM upgrade guides start from LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.134. My device YD201 is on LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.124 and it never received LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.134. Then I try to upgrade to MM from adb sideload with stock and TWRP bootloader, but always received an unexpected error. I tried with yotaphone2-user-RU1.1.47-from-RU1.1.134.zip and with yotaphone2-user-full-RU1.1.47.zip with the same result. I also tried with yotaphone_flasher and both 6.0.1 firmwares available inside yotaphone2.torrent, but they don't have the same file structure and names and then it doesn't work. I don't have any other idea to upgrade to MM, can any of you help me?

Thanks in advance.

[YotaPhone] DonTamlin:
OK, so the story is...

I've got Yotaphone 2 YD206 with Android 4.4.3, and would love to update it to MM. And I'm completely stuck on the basically first step. No drivers I try make this phone recognized by windows. All I get is "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" in device manager - and of course fastboot is not recognizing this device at all. I tried drivers from gsmusbdriver.com/yotaphone-2, tried drivers from torrent, driver signature verification is disabled. Did everything "according to the book" and still nothing. Tried on laptop with ubuntu - phone is invisible. Tried different cable, different usb socket - nothing. Pls help...

Open TCP/UDP ports?

Hey, i am still using this amazing phone with this stable ROM, but i noticed to have random open ports automatically added by UPnP on my router and really curious about the reason, or how to debug it.

[YotaPhone] tinuvielsss:
Hi there :)

I don't think that anyone is still there but maybe... somehow. I used to have YD201 but It broke. I fixed it by changing the motherboard, but the motherboard is YD206. So now I have some ancient Android + Chinese apps - google playstore :) Can someone confirm that all I need to do to "fix" it is:

1) Install ADB and qualcomm drivers

2) Download yotaflasher

3) Download 6.0.1-EU1.1.47mx.zip

4) Unpack downloaded zip into flasher directory

5) Plug in the phone, enable USB debug

6) Run the yotaflasher?

Or do I need to go to some KitKat EU version first or do some other magic? :) I need this phone to read books and as a bike computer. That's it.
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
If I remember right, you need to downgrade it to Kitkat 4.4.4 chinese version and from there upgrade it to 5.0 chinese and then change to 5.0 RU/EU version... https://xdaforums.com/t/upgrade-yot...-4-4-to-ru-latest-firmware-5-0-yd201.3506293/

I think I still have all the possible firmwares for the Yotaphone 2, if you can't find one, let me know...
[YotaPhone] tinuvielsss:
So I was able to go to eu 5 from chinesse 4 with yotaflasher. I'm running 5.0 now, but no OTA MM update is available. I have some 6.0 ROM but I think it's not full ROM that can be used by yotaflasher, I think it should be applied with adb sideload? Are you aware of any instruction how do do that?
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
This is the last MM EU full firmware (6.0.1-EU1.1.47mx), you should be able to used it with yotaflasher: https://go.wetransfer.com/t-a6NBNtGGa2
[YotaPhone] tinuvielsss:
I have that one, but when I unpack it, it lacks the files that are in 5.0. yotaflasher complained that it had all those files missing. I think I can force it to continue, but I'm afraid that I will brick my phone ;) Is it ok to flash even when the ROM doesn't have all the files that yotaflasher would like to have?
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
I do not remember, but from what I have seen on my firmware files, I also have the same firmware as OTA update from 5.0 EU (firmware is smaller as the one I have uploaded), so the uploaded file should be the full MM EU firmware... have you tried flashing it using TWRP (if you need it, I can upload it also)?

This are the firmware files that I have for EU:
[YotaPhone] tinuvielsss:
This is 5 after unpacking:

and 6:

I think it's not a full rom but more like a patch?
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
This should be a full MM EU firmware... If you check the MM firmware, you can see that the system.new.dat file is bigger than the one from LP firmware and the system.patch.dat is 0 KB (so it won't patch the current installed system, like OTA update do)... For a full firmware you need a bootloader (boot.img), system (system.img or system.new.dat) and, if it needs to be replaced, recovery (recovery.img)...

This is the same MM EU, but OTA update from LP EU. As you can see, there is a system.new.dat AND a system.patch.dat file and no boot.img or any other firmware file:

I recommend flashing it with TWRP (fastboot boot twrp-v5.img)...
[YotaPhone] tinuvielsss:
got it, thank you for your patience :D So I should now:

1) Turn off the phone

2) power + volume down to get into "downloading..."

3) plug in the phone to the computer

4) in the yotaflasher directory, run cmd as administrator and execute:

fastboot boot twrp-v5.img

5) now, when I'm in TWRP, how can I install 6.0.1? Should I copy it to the phone memory in the first place? Just the zip or unzipped?
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
On TWRP you should copy the 6.0.1 ZIP file to your Yotaphone and flash the ZIP file (you should find tutorials online how to flash firmware with TWRP). After flashing the firmware, you should also do a factory reset on TWRP (Wipe -> Format Data)...
[YotaPhone] tinuvielsss:
hmm, I've tried both TRWP that I've found:

C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher>fastboot boot twrp-v5.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.488s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)

finished. total time: 0.492s

C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher>fastboot boot recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.509s]

[YotaPhone] GoJo ^^:
I'll go test that now, just wondering why is the data over 1GB on a "clean" backup..?! It should be about 0 AFAIK.. I extracted the files, put them in a folder, renaming it like the archive, then in backup folder : Restore data ok, system failed..

EDIT: TERRIBLE!! My phone was encrypted and attempting to install this backup apparently broke it; "Wrong pattern" i'm told..!! I had to format the whole internal storage :/ You should put a warning in post #1 for those who encrypted their LP..
[YotaPhone] Amplificator:
This is why it's a beta and why it's a "hassle" to sign up for. It's an opt-in beta test where you actively have to seek out the update - it is NOT stable and this is mentioned a lot of times, both in OP and in the Russian thread on 4pda.

Let me point out a few:

"The beta-testing program"

"our team wants to offer YotaPhone 2 users to participate in the beta testing"

"As part of the beta test"

" But before you decide to participate, please read the instructions below"

"The updates that you receive as part of the beta version, may contain errors or defects that significantly affect the operation of the device"

"Participation in the beta available to users who bought YotaPhone 2 on the territory of Russia"

"currently RU1.1.134 firmware version must be installed"

"The beta-version of the firmware on China Yotaphone2 (Model YD206) could be installed incorrectly or with errors"

"we are not responsible for the performance of the whole system"

..and lastly, "Please send the info above with a personal message to the representative of YD 4PDA"

All these warnings very much signify that it is beta and thus not a stable rom.

Does it suck to have to redo your phone? Absolutely. Were you informed of the state of this rom? Absolutely, you were.

What you actually should do, is now to report this incident to YotaDevices - this is the point of any form of testing.

The same goes for everybody else mentioning problems - that is the point of this beta release; crashes are to be expected which is why the beta is supposed to be limited to people who is willing to test and report these things.

If you are not willing to take this risk, don't use beta software and wait for a stable release where serious issues like this has already been fixed.
[YotaPhone] GoJo ^^:
Such issue is not from beta, not even from an apha normally! Beta means stable with few bugs. Not device destruction possibility. Anyways, it could well be to the new twrp..

[YotaPhone] Eaminit:
My YD206 runs on 6.0 too ...

however , I wanna join the test to get the new ota packages in time.
[YotaPhone] LeslieKawiti:
I'm going to reiterate what amplificator said above.

Asking for fixes for the EPD or other bugs in this beta firmware isn't helpful. It's already known the EPD is buggy and there is not much if anything we can do until yota fixes it.

As for converted YD206 devices there will likely be more errors so I wouldn't recommend flashing until the final non beta firmware is made public. If you flash be aware there will be more bugs for you and you might not be able to fix them.

If you've never flashed a custom rom STOP NOW and do not flash this update. It is well known that trying to update an encrypted device is unstable and not something you should ever do. Do not blame OP or anyone else for your negligence. It's your fault for not taking the proper precautions.

We aren't officially apart of the beta program so you are effectively flashing a custom ROM. Side loading this update means you understand this comes "as is" with no promises of fixes until the final release is made public. Any bugs or serious errors you may encounter will not be supported by Yota. Please do not complain, we weren't meant to get this beta build. Only people who opted in were.
