I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP and I am on Lollipop (EU 1.1.124b).

In the first post, I see that either 1.1.28 or 1.1.30 can be installed from TWRP Recovery, but 1.1.31 can be installed only on Stock Recovery.

1. I hope I can get 1.1.28 or 1.1.30 by following the steps in this post. Am I correct?

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70281479&postcount=113

2. If I want 1.1.31, what should I do now? If stock recovery is the only way, how to go back to stock recovery?

3. I am not 100% sure. But, I think after I unlocked and flashed TWRP, I see the baseband version as S01_003_4240_RU1_M05. I also noticed I get only EDGE signal neither 3G nor LTE. I am not sure what went wrong.
[YotaPhone] prasathvishnu:
1. I installed TWRP (Image Name: recovery_twrp_yd201_alpha2). But, I don't see the folder structure TWRP>BACKUPS. Should I create on my own?

2. I copied the backup to the folder. But, in the recovery menu, I don't see an option to restore. I only see "apply update from adb" which does not work here?

Am I using wrong TWRP image which is why I am not able to see the options
[YotaPhone] mminbcn:
The folder structure is created when you create your first backup with TWRP (the step written in the guide is "Make a backup of you system, boot and efs"). It's important to let TWRP create the folder because it's different for each device (the folder is like /TWRP/BACKUPS/xxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is your device serial number).

You need to copy the backup inside the xxxxxxxx folder, then it will be visible when you click on "Restore".

As reference, the post with the full step by step instructions to get Android M 6.01 and have root from scratch is up in this thread but in the post70281479: https://xdaforums.com/yotaphone-one...otaphone-2-t3518062/post70281479#post70281479
[YotaPhone] Dahlan abdullah:
im not sure if you directly flash from EU version to 1.1.28 or what you want to get the latest RU can be done..

there are no guide from the first post on how to install the latest RU 1.1. 31 using twrp, im just doing it by myself with the latest twrp

1. im never use this method before.. try this

https://xdaforums.com/yotaphone-one/development/twrp-3-0-2-0-yotaphone-2-t3494023

2. reading back the first post. what you need to do is flash lollipop RU firmware from beginning, when you done flash 1.1.30v, install the latest twrp from the link. now it's depends on you to update it to 1.1.31v, whether you want to follow my step or step from the first post..

-if you follow step from the first post.. keep your stock recvry from 1.1.28 and keep going to update it using adb sideload upadate with your stock recvry..

-with the second step.. just install trwp from 1.1.30v..go to recvry. factory reset, and flash 1.1.31v and reboot it.. that's all..

3.thats basebend from radio on firmware you install.. you need to change radio from CN firmware 4.4.4v to get LTE, download kitkat firmware made from CN, unzip it and just copy radio folder from it then open yotaflasher folder..go to firmware folder were you flash firmware using yotaflasher, delete all file from there and just put CN radio folder on there, open yotaflasher and flash it..
[YotaPhone] mahdipanahi:
after doing the hard reset everything worked now... but for fail safe or any undiscovered bugs, i redo adb sideload again after hard reset... then hard reset once more ... now everything seem work... but edp display now sometime got flicking issue on some apps or using transfer button... maps sometime still on portrait orientation but you can solve it by pressing transfer button on ep display and press again once more... so far work ok despise minor glitch or bug... next update or maybe official should fix this.... :) i also hope they implement manual control for the camera...
[YotaPhone] prasathvishnu:
I am doubting if I have the TWRP correctly installed. Because, I don't see an option to BACKUP or RESTORE. I see list with

apply update from adb, Wipe and Reboot.

But, when I flashed TWRP image, I see the SUCESS message.

---------- Post added at 05:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Thank you.

I was referring this post to upgrade to MM whereby I thought MM image could be flashed on the stock EU ROM itself.

You mean i have to flash FULL TWRP image of 1.1.30v and then flash 1.1.31v image on top?

Thank you. I will do that.
[YotaPhone] Dahlan abdullah:
right.. just factory reset from 1.1.30v from latest recovery and flash full firmware of 1.1.31v..
[YotaPhone] prasathvishnu:
Thank you very much.

Did fastboot to TWRP and restored the 1.30 TWRP backup. Everything went fine.

Then, went to stock recovery and sideloaded the 1.31 FOTA.

Then, flashed SuperSU from TWRP again.

Wiped Delvik Cache and rebooted.

But, I am getting errors when opening any Google Apps. E.g. "Unfortunately GMail has stopped"

1. Where can I see the changes in 1.31 vs 1.30?

2. Regarding the radio:

I bought this YD 201 in UK which originally had EU1.1.124b. Now, I am back in India which anyway does not have any of the LTE bands supported by Yotaphone 2 hardware. I have to settle with 3G as of now. What other changes I have to know by having Russian Radio vs EU?
[YotaPhone] Dahlan abdullah:
say thanks to the OP

1. for now I'm only found yotasnap is wrking on last update.. im only used this phone for my daily use btw..

im not a beta tester to finding any modifications prob:p

2. I've noticed on some forum that say only CN and RU radio is only having LTE support.. with another chance, i dont know about it.. that's only i know about radio:D
[YotaPhone] prasathvishnu:
That's okay. Whatever information you gave was very helpful. I am running MM 1.31 for the last few hours and it is good except for few bugs on Yota Apps.
[YotaPhone] mahdipanahi:
yup... just same as mine after running on mm, dual apps is very useful... now i can browsing fb while running watsup on ep display, but loss of contrast in ep display is quite painful... hope next fw release or maybe official version will solve this...
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
It would be nice to know how is battery life with the new Android 6.0.1... Anyone that is already using the beta as a daily driver can give us some info?

Anyone knows if the kernel will be open sourced by YotaDevices? That would be great, so developers could try to add Android 7 to this great device... :D
[YotaPhone] ygrigory:
I use it daily and I'm going to go back to lollipop, it has important faults (today the alarm has not sounded to go to work) and the battery has not improved.
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
Oh, that's bad... Did you factory wipe the phone when you installed the last beta update? Is anyone else having this same problem with the alarm on the Yotaphone?
[YotaPhone] ygrigory:
Wait for the final version, so far has too many bugs to use daily.

I restore 130 from a backup with wipes and update to last.
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
What model are you using? YD206 or YD201? Did you tried to factory wipe with 1.1.31? From what I have seen on the russian forum it seems that this last 1.1.31 is almost stable...
[YotaPhone] ygrigory:
Is more stable than previous versions, but still a beta.

[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
Hi, I think it is the app that counts your reminders on the EPD screen. Try clearing app cache and data on Settings -> Apps (Enable System Processes on upper right corner)... You should find an App "Counter" with a black icon...

I did Wipe Cache / Delvik and these errors vanished after that.
[YotaPhone] AntyRaz:
The new version is good?

Hey guys, I have a

Yotaphone 2 and I install the 29/12/16 x.30 version [as restore] in last week.

The system is almost perfect but the battery consumption is bad. The battery discharge 2,5x faster as the 5.0 LP version, and the charge is slow.

This problem was corrected in this new (x.31) version? I hope, because I can only install this.

---------- Post added at 08:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 AM ----------

"I see, this is a backup file. This file sent the phone storage and in the TWRP recovery restore this."

Sorry, my write was false..

This file for under original recovery or custom (TWRP). Sent this file to phone storage, rename to update.zip and in recovery install zip or system update. This will work. I hope, work for me.
[YotaPhone] hundsboog:
I also wanted to give some Feedback. Im on 31 also. Very reliable release. Only some bugs:

1. The EDP works almost perfect, sometimes switching from mainpanel is not always perfect and it stucks. Also swiping through the pages shows sometimes the "loading wheel" and no content.

2. Choosing Custom images as page result in an error (force close) of the Yota Cover App. Only yota pics are working. Tried also own b/w, no success. (Update: After a reboot, few photos were running, but force closing goes on, but keeps photo).

3. Battery consumption seems way too high, higher than under .134 and it leads to the conclusion, that doze mode doesnt work properly.

Anything else, like typing and navigating around the OS is extremely snappy and sweet. So, my main wish is the solving of the battery drain.

Hi guys!

With the actual 10/01/17 build, did you experienced very slow speeds when copying files to the phone with mtp? A couple GB of data take 2+ hours. I had an other phone but that works fine and fast with mtp, using the same cabel and port. Also mtp are slow under both Linux and Windows.

An other thing, sometimes sliding pages on the edp are not perfect and the background can remain grayish instead of black. Sildeing other pages solves this.

I got no other problems with this rom.
[YotaPhone] mahdipanahi:
yup... some minor bug like lower contrast and some switching over bug... mtp work fine on mine... front panel everything work perfectly so far...

Wi-Fi Calling

Can anyone confirm or deny whether Wi-Fi Calling is available? Reception at my apartment is terrible so I'm dying to find out if it works. AFAIK Marshmallow supports it by default but the chipset has to be compatible and I'm not sure whether Yotaphone 2's is.
[YotaPhone] Gamera75:
Stable version

Hello there. First of all, thank you so much guys for this terrific job! any clue when will be release a stable rom? keep up the good work!
[YotaPhone] michael.santos:
Hi everyone,

I have been testing the last beta and the battery is draining to fast... Maybe because it is a beta firmware with debug information or where Doze is not working :(

I have checked with BetterBatteryStats App and it seems the screen is the culprit in my case (YD201): I have lost 15% battery with screen on (50% brightness) for 10 minutes or so.

I think the developers at YotaDevices should check this problem before any other problem. Maybe implementing a new governor on kernel for better CPU optimizations (running at full speed and all cores only when really needed) and add an "AMOLED" friendly theme to the Android system (based on black color - I think Samsung has something similar).

We all know that an AMOLED Display can be more power hungry than LCD, but there are other smartphones that do use AMOLED Displays and similar battery capacity that perform way better than Yotaphone 2...

A dream would be the kernel open sourced, so other developers could implement better optimizations and, wo knows, port Android 7 to this device.

If battery drain is not solved, it will be sad, but I would have to sell my Yotaphone 2... My Moto G 4G LTE (1st Gen) with lower battery capacity hast better control of battery drain, lasting 2 days with Wifi and BT always on....

Hope we see an improvement here in the near future!... :)
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
As I don't think that the devs read this thread, I highly recommend you to send a kind email with bugs and suggestions to the emails provided in the OP.

[YotaPhone] cvzalez:
Ideas and better software implementations.

We should make a list of software implementations, that's know to get better battery life.

- CPU Governor, Battery Saver Governor at least when using the EPD and maybe On Demand when with OLED.

- OLED Black theme, that is really needed, black does not use any energy on OLED screens and even darker colors use less than bright ones.

- Wifi Battery savings, bigger timers for checking maintaining connections, turn on/off wifi by Phone Cell Tower ID, this way it will automatically save battery turning WiFi on and disabling battery hungry LTE and change to 3g or 2g by Better Signal strength.

- A Better Doze than the Marshmallow one has (Marshmallow only works when phone is steady and off for too much time), a Doze app that filters connections and only let them use data in certain time intervals, with excluding list for Instant Messenger ones. That saves battery and it makes us receive less SPAM...

- Implementation of a Greenify kind of app.

- Vibration when call is answered, actually this is already implemented on the stock phone call app.

I just write to say than you, the wifi was awful and I updated to 6.0.1 and is great, thank you for making yota great Again! jajajja
[YotaPhone] paipa:
I don't want to be too pushy but could any of you guys running 6.0 check whether Wi-Fi calling is available or not? I don't know how Marshmallow's settings menu looks exactly but it shouldn't be too hard to find.
[YotaPhone] evilracer123:
It is in the settings menu and it can be enabled :good:. Don't know if it does work since we don't have wi-fi calling here.

Just got the YD206 too.

So I'm still on stock 4.4.

Is that MM 31 battery really that bad?

Should I jump to LP or MM? Or stick with KK?

Is it true that all I need to do when flashing 206 with 201 firmware is to skip the radio?

Thank you for all these great resources!

I have 1.31 build on my YD206, and I like it so far.

For me, I had flashed the RU modem which gave me horribly bad signal, so I flashed RU modem and now my signal is okay :)

Batterylifewise, I did not use KK or LP long enough for fair comparison, but 12-14 hours on battery with 4 hours of screen-on-time is what I get and that is more than enough for me.

So far I am liking it very much, with root+Xposed it has everything I need (Y)

Just a quick question.

What are the advantages of MM or LP on THIS phone?

I still run Pac-ROM 4.4.4 on a Galaxy S II i727 after trying out CM LP and MM on it but I realize the Yota version is not optimized like Pac-ROM is.

With ART, Xposed, Gravity Screen, Greenify, Permissions, quick settings to the right of notifications and OmniSwitch it still runs faster and smoother than most new phones.

I've read several MM vs LP vs KK articles and aside from 64 bit CPU support don't see any advantages for me.
[YotaPhone] stanley321:
From what I have read, EPD has better support with LP and MM, as it comes with Yota Store, which has more widgets for the secondary display.

Other than that it's just some standard new Android features and security fixes. Can't recall those on top of my head, but I know system Web View is now upgradable through Play Store.

how to update to MM build 1.1.31

Actually the video is helpful so just follow my instruction :

1\ download the the zip folder of the update 1.1.31 if you are already have the build 1.1.30 in your phone (for those who's is using Macintosh when you downloading the file its become unzipped so you need to use windows or linux to download the zip file )

2\ c opy the file (yotaphone2-user-full-RU1.1.31.zip) to the storage of your phone in download folder .

3\ go to TWRP then make a factory rest ...

4\ go to install > download > yotaphone2-user-full-RU1.1.31.zip .... it will take about 2 or 3 minutes when it done wipe cash ...

5\ reboot ...

Is there gonna be a new MM Beta soon?

Hello!!! I bought recently a Yotaphone 2, I already upgrade it to Android 5 RU but I would like to know 2 things.

First; the last MM update is from January 10 (a month ago) is gonna be a new one soon? Is the final version comming??

Second; I am tempted to upgrade to the MM Beta but I would like to know if I can install the last beta directly from Android 5 RU or I have to install like incrementals.

Received from Yota Devices tech support today :

" YD201 and YD206 with russian or european firmware version will be updated to Android 6.0 very soon. It will be OTA. "

" YD206 is the special version of the YotaPhone for the China, and the latest firmware version of the Android for it is 4.4.3. But some users use different flash tools which helps them to update this model to Android 5.0 by OTA from theirs words. We can`t comment this and advice this way for the update. That’s why we expect that they will be able to update this model with currently firmware by OTA. "
