I have read your reply and it didn't contain anything but useless informations (which you'd have known they were if you actually read the threads yourself in the first place) and agressive complaining.

The guide written by TheArt gives you all the needed informations to know wether your device is a real 201 or not among many others which would help you know which informations you'd have to provide us to understand your situation and if/how we could help you. That you haven't seen this helpful spirit here exemplified by me doesn't mean it wasn't actually intended that way regardless of how you'd interpret it - and actually behave all sensitive despite forum rules you broke by insulting people here.

So, regarding your OTA update, if you have a YD206, it might have failed and the reasons might too many to be actually sure why.

If you have a 201, unmodified, then your complaints should be written and sent to YotaDevices support service.

However, if your device is rooted or modified, then you should be careful whenever accepting an OTA, flashing it and all things related.

That is basic common sense to use and pragmatism when it comes to this.

Now, "bricked" is not correct in the sense you can still use your phone on its main screen, so you can perform actions among which the necessary ones depending on how you'll proceed.

Once again, my advice -as repeated many times by many others here- is to first read the guide, and after provide all relevant informations in order to gather said help here.

Me taking the time to answer that way is -twice- having the basic respect towards you to provide you with needed basics instead of blindly doing something you won't understand what it does and risking getting even more annoyed and less constructive by subsequent feedbacks and questions as one can see plethora of on XDA.

Did you wipe dalvik&cache before rebooting after flashing whatever radio/modem files ? It is indicated to do so, you might run into problems if you don't and you having both prox&scanning ones might be due to that.

Maybe doing it once will help. It's as worth a try as harmless.
[YotaPhone] jeanchri:
Thank you for your fast answer. So I tried to reflash back the original CN version and the hybrid RU-CN with the clear cache before and after flashing. The problem is still there but I didn't observe the wifi Supplicant state before the first flash. It would be nice if someone on MM with the original CN Radio could post here if the supplicant state behave normally.

So I flashed the HK Radio: S01_003_3034_RU1_M15_P2.

I'm in Canada and the reception is REALLY good (weird). The proximity sensor is working normally and the supplicant state say: SCANNING but there's nothing in the scan results unless I turn the wifi ON. So maybe it's only a false positive? Like a little bug that say SCANNING but in reality does not scan? :confused:

Thanks!

[EDIT]

I tried all SKUs and the wifi SCANNING bug is always there... is it a common bug?
[YotaPhone] n00sty:
No, it's definitly not. As I've already said: y206, mm6, hybrid baseband and no scanning bug here.
[YotaPhone] fsjon:
But doesn't the OS itself will prompt you to turn on wifi whenever it need location services? I have an on-going notification in my status bar for weather (Accuweather), so I would need the location service turn on...same with Google now/assistance. I just leave my wifi on all the time, with wifi set to on during sleep. I assumed the EPD weather widget may prompt you to turn wifi on for location accuracy.

I'm also on YD206, MM, and recently switched to the hybrid modem. I'm also in Canada and reception is not bad, but I turn off LTE since the Yotaphone 2 doesn't have our LTE bands and save some battery...still not great.

Before, with the RU modem, during phone call the screen doesn't turn off properly. It seems to have been fixed since I've switched to the hybrid modem.

Bug;

I notice when ever I get a notification, the entire EPD screen refreshes. I did not notice that before with LL. The screen will continuously blink/refresh when I'm downloading a podcast with pocketcast, same if I were to download an app update through playstore...anyone else getting this bug? I updated through default OTA.
[YotaPhone] mparus:
on android6 YD206 with RU system and CN try with CN and RU radio,

try replace wifi firmware file - get it from your CN 4.4 android and set correct selinux context (chcon command) after replace file

I attach this file from 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a.zip, please gunzip before replace

ls -alZ /system/etc/wifi/WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin

[YotaPhone] jeanchri:
OMG thanks a lot for this, but I've found the bug. (I think) If it's not that, I will use your method.

I found that if you make a search from the settings pannel, you'll find under ''rechercher'' (in french, so it must be search or research in english) an option that make your android device not looking for your position from google or apps.

I just disabled it and now it is disconnected. I'm pretty happy with my Yota 2 MM hybrid radio without proximity always on and no more problem with wifi.

:) :) :)
[YotaPhone] mparus:
Scanning in english
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
You mean this setting under advanced wi-fi ?

-->

"Let Google's location service and other apps scan for networks, even when wi-fi is off".
[YotaPhone] mparus:
you have this option in this place in android 6?
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
no, this is the setting in LP 5.0.

i just tried to find the name of the setting he mentioned.
[YotaPhone] jeanchri:
Screenshot in english here:
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
So let's sum up your setting:

you have the YD206 running MM with the Wifi always search problem and also the proximity sensor always on problem.

you now use the hybrid RU CN modem - which solved the proximity always on issue

and switched the location search off - which solved the Wifi always search issue.

So, you're done. :good::good:

So, the trick is to get the hybrid ru cn radio files and disabling just the wifi setting you mentioned?

Did you flash the hybrid radio files with the Yotaflasher or how did you do that? I want to try it with the reworked Yotaflasher.
[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
The problem is the following:

Keep in mind that the settings mentioned here: Location, and Location Wifi Scanning were previous disabled already!

Yota YD206 on Marshmallow with hybrid Baseband, When you turn Wifi ON and then Turn OFF wifi, it won't turn OFF, Wifi keeps Scanning all along.

You go to the dialler *#*#4636#*#* -> Wi-Fi Information -> Wi-Fi Status -> The Supplicant state should be "Disconnected" or "Complete", if it's "Scanning" we have a problem!

With China baseband WiFi works as it should but we have the proximity sensor problem.

Please people with the YD206 try and give feedback here. The WiFi should stop scanning when you turn it WiFi OFF! So you can Turn it ON, then Turn it OFF, and verify if it actually turned OFF. Otherwise the bug will make WiFi scanning all day long, and it's a serious battery drain.

Please mention you ROM, Baseband and Android version, so we can figure out what's causing the problem, as some people say they are not affected.
[YotaPhone] jeanchri:
I reflashed it with the hybrid version by unkernet. Check number 4. in this tutorial :

https://xdaforums.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194

Yota from gearbest MM 6.0.1 FOTA TWRP hybrid ru-cn modem, scanning off. :fingers-crossed:

[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
my YD206:

Baseband: S01_003_0334_CN1_M05

Build: LRX21M.5.0.0-RU1.1.134

Lollipop 5.0

So, i don't have that Wifi always search issue. I' ve checked several times the Supplicant state and it showed "Disconnected".

The proximity always on or blinking is hard to say, i am not really sure if it is blinking or always on. I opened Telegram a minute before and there was a very dark but reddish light blinking. It was very hard to see but i could see something. So if it's this, then i guess i have the same issue.
[YotaPhone] dmix_shinri:
First of all, you need to FORGET all known wifi.

You will see wifi supplicant state now scanning.

If you turn off your wifi, check your supplicant state.

Write here result with phone info as cvzalez state.

See your battery graph detail.. See at wifi part, either it is green but actually wifi is off or nothing.

This culprit one off reason fast battery drain issue.

All comm related. The problem with MM, location setting is all over the place. Need to find it and disable..
[YotaPhone] mparus:
But maybe on Y206 wifi works better with CN wifi firmware.

Good news, the configuration files for EPD screen are stored in another place with this rom :

there is one file for each application. the modifications works only after a reboot.
[YotaPhone] dimos23:
so for us with yotaphone 206 which is the best radio?
[YotaPhone] ~El Julio~:
Play services will prompt you to enable location when either one of the directly location-dependent google services (could be any of their apps needing location) whenever you turned it off (quite annoying..)

Regarding the bug, it is rather a badly conceived refreshing feature that will overdo its assigned task. The same goes for when you use the mirror mode and there is a progress bar in it or next to any moving/animated content. Was like that in beta versions & the "leaked" one too.
[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
-Step 1-

I had YD206 Marshmallow 6.0.1 with Hybrid baseband and Wifi Locations OFF (Including the Wifi Scanning and Blue-tooth options OFF), when I selected Wifi ON, then after a minute or so selected WiFi OFF, on the battery status were showing WiFi ON, so I checked on the dialler the *#*#4636#*#* -> Wi-Fi information -> "Wi-Fi Status" -> When WiFi OFF the "Supplicant state" should be "DISCONNECTED or Completed" but it was always "SCANNING" after several tries, the problem with this is WiFi scanning is battery drain, so this worried me.

-Step 2 - I flashed the China firmware and the Wifi Always ON was gone, but the Proximity Sensor Bug came again.

-Step 3 - Some users reported they had no problem, that they can Turn OFF WiFi, and the "Supplicant state" was "Disconnected" or "Complete", so I flashed again hybrid baseband, and now WiFi actually turns OFF as it should, the "Supplicant state" are correct, reporting "DISCONNECTED or Completed", what ever was the problem, it went away. I already restarted and turned WiFi OFF and ON again, turned locations ON and OFF again, and the WiFi now correctly disconnects, it's good news for YD206 since Yota won't give any support to it. So I don't know what caused the problem, but seems solved for now at least.
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
So with this (1) method -

removing all saved wifi - and turning OFF

afterwards the supplicant state says: Scanning

The battery graph in this constellation shows green line continuing as if the wifi would be set on.

Otherwise (2) when i

only turn OFF wifi

but let the known wifi stay, supplicant state says: Disconnected.

The battery graph then shows no green line.

the battery drain seems to be stronger with the first method.
[YotaPhone] dimos23:
How do you guys flash the radio?via twrp or via yotaflasher?

cause i think this might be the problem
[YotaPhone] look-aa:
Hi there,

I did. Reading all the 47 pages, can it be that our phones are nice hand warmers because they are YD2016 flashed to YD201? …would like to know this before trying to do other things in order to try to solve the overheating and battery drain problems.

If it can be of any help, I have got Media Server constantly working (now responsible of 48% of the battery drain, but I’ve seen more), and CPU-Z telling me all cores are running at 1497 Mhz, simultaneously, with CPU load at 100%, so also my battery lasts even 4 hours without touching the phone, probably with 15 minutes of light usage - Whatsapp only - with no apps running in the background.

Can anybody help and shed some light please?

PS: I wrote to yotadevices explaining the issues, still to see a reply, though. I’ll wait of course, but I need the phone too, in the meanwhile.
[YotaPhone] jeanchri:
I really think that the way to do it is the way you assemble the parts. I mean, you have to

FIRST: flash with yotaflasher, the last RU version.

2- install TWRP

3- flash MM with TWRP with the FOTA

4-flash hybrid RU-CN modem

5-flash the SUPER SU

6-turn off the scanning

-done

This is the way I did with my chinese version and everything is fine. Battery last at least 2 days, like before and no bug at all. (I mean no proximity or wifi problem)

Cheers

is it possible to flash it without twrp?

i'd like to flash hybrid modem with yotaflasher and MM via adbsideload.

and do i have to flash Super Su or will it also work without it?

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

according to the answers most people flashed the hybrid modem via twrp.

i flashed the chinese baseband with russian firmware .134 with yotaflasher and would like to flash this way again but

it seems that the hybrid modem zip file is different than the former radio files.

at least i found two different versions.
[YotaPhone] asdfffffdsa:
ThNks, I will try to use these settings and report back. The settings that I posted were my defaults as well. If things look normal again after using your settings, I'm guessing the issue is purely a configuration one. (I'm assuming your EPD screen looks normal?)
[YotaPhone] fsjon:
Yep, I flashed from CN firmware to RU complete firmware with Yotaflasher, OTA to LL and now MM. Recently flashed the hybrid radio with Yotaflasher. I just unzip the hybrid baseband zip and replace the radio file in the Yotaflasher directory. I did not root or anything and 2g data works which makes me believe I'm on the hybrid firmware.

...but here is the thing...

When I check my baseband in 'about' it say 'S01-003-4240-RU1-M05', the baseband for the last LL RU firmware. When flashing the baseband with Yotaflasher, would it overwrite 'about' baseband section as well? My 2g data works now where as before it doesn't, so isn't that an indicator I'm on the hybrid baseband?

And with regard to wifi status, I have since turn off wifi scanning after searching 'sca' in setting. At first it still say 'scanning' even with wifi turn off/disabled. But then I connected to a wifi network and get it to complete scanning, and it showed complete. Now if I turn off wifi, reboot, and recheck wifi status, it will still say 'complete'.

So now I have IFTTT installed with a trigger to turn off wifi when I leave an area with a know wifi, will report back in a few days to see if that solve anything. I had the wifi scanning bug all the time too, but I'm not sure if I actually flashed the hybrid baseband though...
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
which baseband and build version and android version you have?

is this the original condition, did you change anything?

did you check which apps are running in the background?

---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

I found two hybrid baseband zip files. The one which is linked here has more files and also a folder named image.

the other file i found on 4pda forum, and it has only 4 files in a radio folder. so i am not sure which i have to take to flash with yotaflasher.

i guess you took the hybrid zip which is linked at the first page which is named "update_3034_CN_4240_RU.zip.

unzipped it is about 98mb big.

the other file i found is named "modem_3034_CN_4240_RU.zip and only includes 4 files.

did you have the proximity bug and if so, did it disappear now?
[YotaPhone] look-aa:
Sorry, I forgot to mention the most important thing.

It’s a YD206 fastbooted to YD 201 KitKat, and then got the OTA to Android 6 Marshmallow 3 days ago. No root.

As for apps in the background: since the last 2 days I try to close them all, hoping it sorts a beneficial effect, but no joy.

Today it did 7 to 11 in standby from 100% to 6% as I already wrote, and from 11 is still charging, now at an astonishing 58%. In airplane mode, maybe it goes faster.

Thanks

Oh, by the way, can this phone get charged while powered off somehow? It boots up itself as soon as it’s connected.
[YotaPhone] fsjon:
I used the file from the Guide by TheArt: https://xdaforums.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194

Yes, when you unzipped that file, it has a radio folder along with a few other files in there. I just flash the radio folder. From what I remembered, the rest of the items in the zip are not replacing anything from the original firmware, hence I just replace the radio folder in the Yotaflasher directory. My rationale was the remaining items were just instructions for TWRP to do it's magic. Maybe that's why the 'about' still report I'm on the RU baseband?

I never had the proximity bug since I never used the CN baseband with the RU firmware. However I did notice the screen comes on every now and then when I'm on a call using the RU baseband (a different kind of proximity bug). I just did a quick call to voicemail with the hybrid baseband (assuming I actually flashed the hybrid baseband) and it seems to be working fine now, screen remained turn off when it's on my face but on when I remove it to punch in my password.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
I updated the main guide in the section 4 including information about flashing hybrid baseband with YotaFlasher and TWRP.
[YotaPhone] fsjon:
With regards to the new file for flashing radio with Yotaflasher, does it contain more items than the radio folder in the original zip? I assumed the new file will update the baseband listed in the 'about' page. What baseband should it report with the hybrid radio?
[YotaPhone] satsuki_yatoshi:
I've tryied the 2 methods (recovery and yotaflasher) but got this issue:

I own an official YD206

With official 6.01 a get "Scanning" in the wifi information with wifi disabled ,the phone working realy great (maybe less batery than this the 6.01 beta)

With official 6.01 then flash "hybrid version by unkernet", i always get "Scanning" and no more reception (2g, 3g nor 4g), my phone is offline and if i try to connect to a wifi app, then the phone don't connect but become realy hot in a few seconds.

Revert back to the official radio, no more bug but alway get "Scanning" in the wifi information with wifi disabled

by the way with 6.01 when i get mail notification, the edp use a generic notification and no more the mail icon nor email preview

any way to solve it ?
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
yes, there is a slight difference of about 200kb when you compare just the 4 files in the radio folder.

so, now i have just flashed the "yotaflasher hybrid version" (not for twrp), as it is mentioned in the main guide.

about phone, baseband it says: S01_003_3034_CN1_M05

the wifi search is the same as ist was with the chinese baseband before - it says "disconnected", when i turn it off but let known wifi networks stay.

it says "scanning", when i clear known wifi networks and turn wifi off.

the proximity sensor is not blinking i guess, but it's hard to see for me.

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

mine also boots up, although it is powered off but connected to plug.

which baseband your phone has? i assume it to be russian baseband, but this could be the wrong one if your phone was originally chinese version.

so this would maybe explain why it looses too much energy.

did you also had the same problems with the original setup, when you first used it?
[YotaPhone] wilver:
Is there anyway to run yotamirror mode aside from the button on navbar? I like more the way it was in android 4.4 and 5.0, there is anyway to launch yotamirror from an app or tasker? Thanks in advance.
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
But i noticed that when you cleared the known wifi networks and then turn wifi off the supplicant state says "Scanning".

Only when you have a saved known wifi network it says "Disconnected" when you turn wifi off.

so, this behaviour is the same as i had it with the chinese baseband version.

the proximity bug seems to be gone though.
