Has anyone got a link to the regular yotaflasher file? The link seems to have gone, and any link that is ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/ orientated doesn't work for me, it just times out...
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
I uploaded and attached to the first post the regular yotaflasher, downloaded from the FTP.
[YotaPhone] jeanchri:
Hi! MM is coming soon and I was wondering if I can get it OTA if my Y206 is changed to Y201, rooted, bootloader unlock, TWRP, Xposed?
[YotaPhone] Uergh:
.............

I flashed mine to RU5.0, working great for a nearly a month. Then somehow it dropped the network connection and told something about that the airplane mode is activated which wasn't. I did a reboot and was stuck in a bootloop. Since then I can't flash 5.0 anymore. 4.4 is the only one working. Flashed EU 4.4 and tried the OTA update to 5.0. Bootloop...

I've followed the guide exactly. Multiple times with different firmwares and even pc's, the original and modded flasher. I think I throw it against a wall and buy something else. This thing makes me crazy.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
UPDATE

The hassle of using a complete RU/EU firmware in the chinese model and the issues with the CN baseband on those firmwares are GONE. I updated the guide with the details to flash a hybrid baseband which enables the full funcionality of YD206 users who don't have CN firmware.

UPDATE 2

LTE B20 band can now be unlocked on YD206, see the last section for details.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
When I installed RU firmware over my 206HK 4.4 android, I don't make any backup. So I have the RU radio with bad signal on my network provider. So now if I want the hybrid, I will use yotaflashwerREW to update the radio only and I will have iproved signal?
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
The hybrid modem .zip is ready to be flashed with TWRP. Yotaflasher can be used, too, but the zip must be unpacked and it's 4 radio files placed in the radio folder of the flasher.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
Don't think I do something If I use Yotaflasher because the 4 files are the same like all Andorid 5 roms, the only difference is the image folder, and I don't think yotaflasherreworked is able to do something because I don't belive the folder is recognized if all the other roms don't have it included.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
No, you can simply put the radio folder into the firmware one and flash with YotaFlasher. The 4 files are the usual radio files, here only the NON-HLOS.bin has been manipulated, the other 3 are the same RU ones.
[YotaPhone] Pak07:
I have installed the new modified radio in my YD206 but it disables 2G!

No place where download the original CN radio without having to download the full rom?
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
How do installed? using twrp? And what you have before, Adndorid 206 RU 5?

You are sure the NON-HLOS.bin has been modified? because has the exact same size like the old one 55.9 MB (58,631,680 bytes)
[YotaPhone] Pak07:
No, I used the modified yotaflasher. It has RU .134 but kept the Chinese radio. Now I re-installed the CN radio and 2G is working again.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
So the hybrid is no good after all, mb only if we install with the twrp because are some filles that I belive yotaflasher can't handle.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Hybrid modem provided works for everyone, doesn't matter the method of installation: TWRP or YotaFlasher. In the end it's just a radio file. So I suggest you to check the downloaded file and do the procedure again. Remember that this modified baseband is useful to YD206 users with RU/EU firmware. A stock chinese firmware doesn't need it.
[YotaPhone] aguztinako:
Can I use this radio for a RU 6.0 beta?

Enviado desde mi YD201 mediante Tapatalk
[YotaPhone] ~El Julio~:
Tried & tested successfully on 1.43 so yes, you can -and should, if your device is a YD206.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
When I install TWRP Recovery I choosed allow modification is OK? Or was it better to choose read mode?
[YotaPhone] Pak07:
I think it only works with TWRP, yes.

The four normal radio files:

NON-HLOS.bin

rpm.mbn

sbl1.mbn

tz.mbn

aren't modified from the Russian ROM. The only difference is the META-INF folder besides the radio folder. But at least the modified yotaflasher is unable to use it. So at the end the phone works as if the official RU radio was installed.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
Yes, I confirm that, we must unlock the LTE band like The Art says in a post because the hybrid can't do nothing to improve signal alone.
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Personally I just flashed in TWRP the hybrid modem, without unlocking B20 (because I don't have a LTE contract). And doing so I solved the proximity sensor and 2G problem.
[YotaPhone] Pak07:
Nevermind it doesn't work with Yotaflasher. I have just finished unlocking B20 and installing the hybrid radio. I have no B20 antennas around to check, but 2G and the proximity sensor work perfect now. As an Android newbie I cannot thank you enough for your guides!
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
Unfortunately at my Yota don't resolve a thing, my phone only work if I choose at Cellular networks - Preferred network type - WCDMA only- If I let the standard LTE(preferred)/WCDMA/GSM , I dont have signal, or is verry low. Baseband version is now s01_003_3034_CN1_M05.

They funny thing is that at About - Status - Cellular network type is allways LTE.
[YotaPhone] 7Stormwarrior:
So installing the Hybrid modem via TWRP,

What is the new band base that must be appear on info?

I have now the 3034_CN1-M05 and I am checking it, it seems to work ok (No blinking)

Flashing it via fasboot the radio band is the Rusian one and I dont have 2G / GSM

Thankyç you very much for the work!!! Long time waiting for a good solution for the connectivity problems

Another question, There is any info about when will be rolling the MM update?

Thank you in advance
[YotaPhone] wilver:
Hi, could help me please? Im trying to flash xposed on MM, didn't get any error, but on the first, after installing all apps and some basic configurations, I flashed SuperUS and Xposed and it just stuck at some point of boot. After that I wiped all again and before the first boot just flashed SuperUS and Xposed but just got boot loop, how should I proceed?

PS: using 1.1.30 of android 6.
[YotaPhone] Uergh:
Mine is bootlooping, too.

RU 1.1.314 & hybrid radio on a YD206.

It's really strange. I can get the chinese 4.4 working, but nothing else. I've followed the guide exactly and this isn't the first phone I've flashed. I got the Ru 5.0 working at some time until it was bootlooping without any reason..

I think it's going too fast. It flashes the 4.4 rom in like 40 seconds..

Edit: I've tried three different computers (with USB 2, 3 & 3.1 connections), which two of those never had contact fastboot at all and a virtual Ubuntu on my main PC. It took really long to flash it out of Virtualbox, but with no success.. Only the CN 4.4 seems to work on my phone. I'm done.

I've flashed it successfully on my main PC once to 5.0 and used it a month. Since then it just doesn't work with everything else then 4.4 after a reboot.

I'll try to replace the power IC on my S6edge or order a Moto G5. Yotaphone off to eBay.

flashing hybrid baseband

Hi, thanks TheArt for this guide,( already hit the thanks button;)), its been very useful so far... I have latest MMB29M firmware running on my Yota 2 and I am using baseband S01_003_3034_CN1_M05 ,,, now i have that proximity sensor issue ,,, I tried the different basebands but none worked... I believe the issue can be resolved by using the hybrid baseband by unkernet but i am not sure how to flash it using yotaphone_flasher.exe ... if anyone can guide me in this regard it will be much appreciated :)

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 AM ----------

Thanks ,,, I had to face the same problem during lolipop updating,,, your post was really helpful ,,, though I didnt use the exact same procedure :p I just used task manager to kill some programmes on my PC and made sure 1.5 GB ram was available ,,, tried update again and it worked ,,, wouldnt have been possible if you hadnt given the hint :good: thanks
[YotaPhone] d4ud:
My Yotaphone2 if with imei check (35643106xxxxxxx) is yd201. i was buy from China.

The first update is about 300Mb then the build number become LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.124d.

I'm forgot to capture the build number before update.

The question : is my Yotaphone can recieve update OS 6.0 MM OTA (over the air) ?

Thanks before
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
The hybrid baseband solves the proximity sensor but it does not let WiFi scanning turn off, just go to dialler *#*#4636#*#* -> Wi-Fi information -> Wi-Fi status -> "Supplicant state" should be "DISCONNECTED" when Wifi Off and locations OFF, with hybrid is always "Scanning" :|
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Personally I haven't tried that with other basebands, but yes, with this configuration it has that behaviour. However, I noticed that when WiFi is off, it indeed says SCANNING, but it doesn't show any results on what it has scanned. When it's on, it shows various SSIDs as expected.

So I'm unable to quantify if this has any impact on battery, performance or whatsoever. For me, MM battery life is really good.

Nevertheless, a good start might be to inform the author (unkernet) of the hybrid modem and see what can be improved.
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
So, i also want to flash only the hybrid modem files with the Yotaflasher.

But in the guide it says, that there are 4 files to place correct in the radio folder.

But when you unzip the hybrid modem zip file you get 4 files and a folder within the radio folder which is named image, and there are 23 modem files included. what is with that?

So, how can i flash this hybrid modem files exactly with the Yotaflasher?

Is there a easy way or did someone successfully flash it this way?

Edit: Ok, i found that we have two hybrid modem files. one is an update. the other one is only the flasher
[YotaPhone] Yota Yota:
Hi GetSAS , did you manage to flash hybrid modem,,, did it help resolve proximity and heat issue ... can you please share how to flash this modem using yotaflasher?
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
UPDATE OP: I added in the 4th section information about flashing hybrid baseband with YotaFlasher / TWRP.
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
hi,

yes as it is mentiioned now you can easily flash the hybrid modem now with the yotaflasher too.

i don't recognize the proximity bug at the moment but i am still watching..

also the wifi turning off works like the chinese baseband.

for flashing with yotasflasher just follow the procedure in the main guide.

you will have to make a folder where you put the yotaflasher and

also adb and fastboot files, driver folder

and there also has to be firmware with the radio folder in it.

the firmware itself can be empty if you only want to flash the radio. then just put the radio files from the hybrid modem (yotaflasher version) and follow the procedure as it is mentioned in the main guide.

it's not that difficult now.
[YotaPhone] Yota Yota:
Thanks ,,, let me try it :)

---------- Post added at 05:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

Thanks GetSAS ,,, I am going to try hybrid now ,,, :)
[YotaPhone] skulpturfungus:
Is the process of rooting the phone still the same for 6.0.1? Does it work without issues?

So far I've tried rooting it as described in the guide. However "fastboot oem unlock" does nothing as the device won't restart on it's own. I'm stuck at the downloading screen.
[YotaPhone] veggiedelicious:
Hello people, I am a proud owner of a YotaPhone 2 bought 5 days ago with Android Lollipop I bought my YotaPhone on a european physical shop (not internet shop) and it came already with Lollipop last version. I have a 2 year warranty for my Yota . How can I update to Android 6 Marsmellow ? Does it comes automatically to my YotaPhone the update ???
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
To help you we need more details: your phone model (YD206 vs YD201), your actual firmware (5.0.0.134RU for example). Re-read the second and the third section of the guide and then check again if you have any doubts ;)
[YotaPhone] skulpturfungus:
So it was driving me insane because I could not for the love of God manage to flash TWRP on my phone after updating to 6.0.1 because fastboot was stuck at Downloading... after performing the oem unlock command. Flashing TWRP also apparently did nothing since I could only boot into the stock recovery mode afterwards.

However I found out that the guide does seem to be wrong on the part of booting up TWRP instead of flashing it. It says the command is

fastboot boot recovery twrp-v5.img

while Windows returns errors like recovery - no such file or directory. The right command should be

fastboot boot twrp-v5.img

which worked for me and solved my issue.
[YotaPhone] Yota Yota:
Hybrid Modem Experience

Ok, I used second method to update baseband i.e. using yotaflasher here are some findings

i- Proximity Sensor : Always on proximity sensor is partly resolved i.e. its not always on. It only starts blinking when i use any app that rely on proximity sensor but it does not stop blinking automatically ... either you have to press power button or wait for the screen to go black ,,, after that it works normally again ...

ii- Signal Reception : Both LTE and 2G are working but I feel 2G reception is relatively poor and also if I turn off mobile data signal reception seems a weak and sometimes it misses altogether.

iii- Heating : Phone still does heat up rather quickly and it gets pretty hot too , though I am not sure how much is too much so here are a few screenshots

Please not that these screenshots were taken after playing clash royal fot 5-6 minutes
[YotaPhone] ~El Julio~:
You are correct. I guess [MENTION=1303378]TheArt[/MENTION] did write that part a bit too fast.

The command is correct for flashing because when using fastboot, if the flash command is used, "it" needs to know which partition is targeted, hence recovery being required here.

For the boot command, no partition needs to be specified because what will be pushed and booted on the device is the img file itself.

Still advising anyone here to only boot TWRP if you don't absolutely need it on the fly : Google's safety net might evolve again & later check for stock recovery too. (At the moment, on our devices, it doesn't even check for unlocked bootloader so -*fingers crossed*- we're good for now with MagiskHide, theoretically)

How does Magisk perform on your YP2 ? Are all the modules you might have tested fully working ?
[YotaPhone] TheArt.:
Corrected, thanks for the feedback, I indeed haven't double checked the command and typed it wrong.
[YotaPhone] 7Stormwarrior:
When flashing the hybrid modem, what is the band base version that appears on the phone?

After flashing it, I have: S01_003_3034_CN1_M05

Thank you for the guide
[YotaPhone] Yota Yota:
baseband version

Yes, same here
[YotaPhone] GetSAS:
Yes, that's it. I have the same.
[YotaPhone] AlaskanAmelie:
Where to download the firmware?

The YotaPhone ftp site doesn't seem to be up anymore - I keep getting 'Error 550 Failed to Change Directory,' and using the sandard YotaPhone2_flasher through Command Prompt to try and download the firmware, I get the same error. Any ideas on where I can get either the 5.0.0-RU1.1.134.zip or 5.0.0-EU1.1.124b.zip firmwares? I tried the 6.0.1-RU1.1.47.zip from 4pda, but in unzipping, there are only boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img files, which doesn't seem to be sufficient for the ReworkedYotaFlasher. Thanks much!

Update: The firmware can be found at ftp : / / 5[dot]200[dot]42[dot]210/YotaPhone2

Before finding this, I tried to use the re-worked flasher with the 6.0.1-RU1.1.147 but it wasn't able to parse the system.img correctly, so it kept failing. I finally got the 6.0.1 to load using sideboot via adb, but I think the jump from 4.x to 6.x was too much, and there was a host of problems (the always-on screen wasn't working, YotaHub kept failing, et cetera). Finally found the 5.0.0-RU1.1.134.zip on the FTP above, used the re-worked flasher to load, and it's been working beautifully ever since, with updates coming OTA as expected. Hooray!
[YotaPhone] Platonisation:
That is strange. I have a YD206 from HK flashed with RU.134, the baseband is : S01_003-4240_RU1_M05.

The Hybrid modem was flashed through fastboot cause i have Linux & the phone is not rooted.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn

fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn

fastboot flash tz tz.mbn

Do you know why we have different baseband ?
[YotaPhone] BurgerBoy200:
i think 4240 is the unlocking 2G one, isn't it? So with RU.134 it is possible to update the modem with yota-flasher? I tried yota-flashing on my 206 without updating my 4.4 Android but didn't change anything, still the 3034 and no connection. I'm going to try RU.134 + yota-flash next.

About yotaflasher:

Before flashing i created folder "firmware" in the "yotaphone_flasher" folder and put in the "radio" folder with the for files in it. I used the following one [delete the space after ftp] (ftp ://5.200.42.210/YotaPhone2/YotaPhoneFlasher/) and connection seemed to work, the numbers described in guide 3 appeared. Should i use the reworked yotaflasher, attached at the guides, yet (might be the reason the modem update didn't work)?

edit: just tried the attached reworked flasher, but after doubleclicking there appears a command window for split second and disappears :(, seems not to work for me

If it doesn't work i'm going for TWRP, but there are some questions i hope you can help me with:

As described in Guide 5 i need following for TWRP:

- unlocking bootloader (step 1)

- Install or boot TWRP Recovery (step 2)

- Download SuperSU, install on phone, restart (step 3)

how do i now get the TWRPHybrid on the phone, do i have to copy the file on the pc folder / phone storage and typing in the TRWPHybrid.zip path?

Muchas gracias for helping,

greetings from Germany,

BB

update: tried several firmwares with yotaphone_flasher (latest eu, 134 ru) everytime -> stuck at android logo. Reflashing to latest cn firmware was the only one which worked, i put the hybrid modem firmware in it -> it shows the S01_003-4240_RU1_M05 but 2G still isn't available.

update: fastbooting RU.134 was successful by splitting system.img in 512M, i also fastbooted the hybridmodem, but still no signal available (i'll continue trying several modem firmwares)
[YotaPhone] Platonisation:
Hey,

I guess you now are with MarshMallow, 5.0.0.134RU + OTA --> 6.0.0.

In case you are still looking for the baseband (GSM) issue: I made a mistake, i took the TWRP archive baseband (on the guide) and did the fastboot command on it. I guess this is why it failed. To correct that, i did the normal thing, i used the recovery software TWRP and installed the ZIP.

Now i have like the others : S01_003_3034_CN1_M05.

Thanks to everyone that worked for such a great guide, very useful :) (just adding the baseband number for checking would be perfect)
[YotaPhone] BurgerBoy200:
It's MarshMallow now MMB29M.6.0.1-RU1.1.47, i managed to flash the S01_003_3034_CN1_M05 to the phone (radio fastboot from 4.4.3-S01-003-CN1.0.3.32a) but still no 2G, is this baseband even compatible to MarshMallow?

I'm running out of ideas, 3 further phones using same SIM-Provider (Penny-Mobile, Germany [They are part of T-Mobile Network]) working with excellent connection, i tried my sim on them -> great connectivity, no SIM-Card-Issue

I also tried another provider (netzclub [Part of O2]) which also didn't work.

Big thanks to any advice, tricks etc... (maybe torturing the phone will get it done :eek:)

greetings from germany,

BB
[YotaPhone] Platonisation:
It's possible MM is not compatible with just CN baseband (and we dont really care because it's obsolete cf. Guide).

You should follow the guide (from part 1 to part 5)

Then with TWRP, install the ZIP, it works.

This is a recap for installing hybrid baseband:

1.Download TWRP-hybrid-baseband

2.Unlock bootloader

3.Install or boot TWRP

4.Root (but not sure it is mandatory)

5.Install TWRP-hybrid-baseband.

Good luck.
[YotaPhone] queser.info:
I have TWRP-hybrid-baseband, Unlocked bootloader and ROOT. Is recomanded to install andorid 6 from OTA or to install it from the torrent zip from TWRP.
[YotaPhone] BurgerBoy200:
For me the latest CN-radio-firmware flashed with fastboot worked on RU MarshMallow 6.0.1 i updated from RU.134 through OTA

After turning on / off the radio today there seems to be a 2G signal

yet when typing the *#*#4636#*#* there is always "GPRS service: Disconnected" even if wlan is deactivated, at least i have the connection i was looking for :)

when i chose 2. download firmware by presing 2 and enter, the yotaflasher progrem close by itself. so i can not download me4.4.3 firmware which i need. ftp server is not work either. i think they removed the firmwares or i couldnt find. please help me where can i find the me 4.4.3 firmware?
[YotaPhone] BurgerBoy200:
The page i downloaded the ROM is down too (no response) :confused: , i found another one which should include the 4.4.3 CN_M05 radio firmware if you are looking just for this (just radio CN, the other stuff is HK).

ftp://yota.hi-p.com/%C8%ED%BC%FE%BA...Special_4.4.3-S01-003-HK1.0.3.61a_commercial/

You can even download the radio stuff seperately (sbl1, tz, NON-HLOS, rpm)

I found a Russian page with some offered working links, but don't know what radio band the ME is using:

https://vk.com/topic-67435733_35352039

As google translatet a post of Mikhail Ivanov:

S01_003_3034_RU1_M15_P2 band -> 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61A

S01_003_4240_RU1_M04 band -> 5.0.0.-ME.1.1.45

What band are you looking for?

I'll try to find another sources,

I am am new to the forum.

I am in a similar situation: IMEI 356XXXXXXXXX; Build LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.124d, baseband-Version S01_003_4240_RU1_M05.

From the Yotaphone support (per mail) I had the answer: "Your device has firmware for the Hong Kong region. Unfortunately, we do not plan to release an update to Android 6 for this region".

Therefore my question: Can I flash my device with the 5.0.0-RU1.1.124 built without loosing the LTE band 20 capability? And then, in the sequel, receive OTA for MM 6.X?

Can anybody give me the answer?

Thanks!

i need 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61A me is refer to middle east. the reason i want this spesific firmware is i bought my phone 4 days ago and my epd is not working anymore. i did upgrated to 6.0.1 russian firmware with adb sideloader. i need to downgrade the official firmware which was 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61A to give my phone back and get my money back.
[YotaPhone] BurgerBoy200:
today the news told about some issues in a transmitter station during this week, thats why my 2G didn't work properly straightaway after flashing :cyclops:

yet couldn't find a suitable version, i was lucky to get the cn version downloaded before the source got down one day later, wonder why :confused:

maybe there's a user who has the .ME on pc and can provide it to you, otherwise you may find it on the ru pages (4pda.ru e.g.)
