Hi,
is there a possibility to get my device back to work? I messed my G500+ up, with a wrong ROM Image, so is there a way to low level format it and replay a working Image on it?
The current status is:
The device can be turned on, but only the LED in the upper right corner is flashing
The blue outline will be present after holding the power key for several seconds (aproximately about 10-15 seconds or so)
The display stays black
I can't see if I would enter the USB downloader boot mode
I can't see if I do a hardreset
The display was fully white after flshing with this damage rom, then during boot it stayed white and the device stocked
Can anybody help me? Is my display damaged, can such thing happen while flashing or does the ROm don't kno w how to reach the display? What can I don, it's a bit urgent because I need that device!
As posted on your other thread, this is an HTC based device forum. You're better off looking for help on a site that will support your device. Good luck.
yeah, you're right, but there are several threads about Eten devices, so I thought, someone could help, sorry....
Had the same experience as some of you - my Yotaphone got bricked (not sure why, but soon after .136RU update) and ended up in a bootloop - "Powered by Android" logo, reboot every couple of minutes. Tried flashing different recoveries and systems but no change.
Recently I've ordered a set of screwdrivers and opened my phone, disconnected the epd screen and the battery (this one only for a couple of minutes) and tried fastboot again.
Power + vol up (recovery) didn't work before and now it does, so I'm in Twrp. That's all for now (had to go to work ), but will keep you posted afterwards.
Above I'm putting the YT video I was using to safely open Y2, you will need T3 screwdriver and some lever to lift the EPD back cover - be careful, use sth soft (wood/ABS), it looks like it's very easy to break the glass.
So, back to the story..
Was in TWRP and had the full funcionality, except for the OTG. ADB also didn't work (haven't switched debugging on when Y2 was alive..). So went back to the fastboot (Power + Vol Down).
Yotaflasher did crappy job so I had to flash everything manually, command after command:
fastboot flash aboot firmware/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash boot firmware/boot.img
fastboot flash cache firmware/cache.img
fastboot flash modem firmware/radio/NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 firmware/radio/sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash rpm firmware/radio/rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz firmware/radio/tz.mbn
fastboot flash userdata firmware/userdata.img
fastboot flash -S 512M system firmware/system.img
fastboot reboot

(didn't include recovery - have it already)
Now Y2 went through the "Powered by Android" logo and stopped for a while (maybe even 10min..) at its own boot animation. After that I was welcomed by Language choice menu and quickly after had my phone working. Now it's downloading .136RU update again.
Mind it's also still disconeccted from EPD screen - it has some dead pixel lines and can't figure out where lies the problem, will play with that tomorrow.
PS. Don't forget to enable USB debugging when you have the chance!

maybe first just disconnect battery and epd screen and try to boot, if no then flash twrp and do factory reset and try again, if still no change then erase data and flash new system image

I have tried all, disconnect flash twmp nothing happens. I have installed again the system but it rest in bootlooop.
wow, i am not alone with this problem. Why does the problem is coming at same time in december ? any bad updates? hm.
Anybody told with yotaphone support about this problem ?
im not realy a mobile crack, its not easy for me to understand this repair process. the only thing i have do is restore und wipe cache function in the bootloader.
Then i have uploaded the newest firmware with yotaflasher. it was successfull.
ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/EU/5.0.0-EU1.1.87a.zip
But this was not the solution. i will try "5.0.0-EU1.1.124b.zip" this is from august 2016 newer then all.
keeeper you have make manually flash, it was success? I dont know how it works with command lines. And my english is not good.
I had debugging on mode when my yota was alive.
somehow yotaflasher does not do its job properly, at least on my PC - while flashing the system directory manually it takes me a large while to move about 1GB of data, YF does it much faster, what was really suspicious.
i have flashed the new 124b now, then it updated something. And then, ahhhhhhh i see the start screen where i can choose my language. but when i plug of the handy from PC, the screen is off. game over.
i think my phone have a damaged RAM.
Question,... why does yotaflasher needs only 10sec. to flashed a 1GB firmware ??? thats unreal.

Is the battery fully charged? QC doesn't work all the time - it needs CPU to help and for example in recovery mode CPU doesn't support quick charging.
i cant see if it full loaded. i only plug in to power suply. Today im come to the welcome screen !!! And then, i type the password for my wlan to start configuration. But it freezed und go down.
i send you my pictures from the state. i think,.... its damaged hardware
i dont understand that the phone is started alone after 15 minutes. then crashing 10 times on boot and then mute. after 10 - 20 minutes it started again. i do nothing, it is only plug in powersuply.

I would try to disconnect the EPD completely (like in this thread and try if there's any change.
I've also had problems with random reboots but after saying goodbye to the back screen Yotaphone works like a charm. I know that wasn't the point of buying this phone but even without the EPD it's still a great device.
but this can not be normal without EPD i can use my s5
Today i was longer time in the OS. i have configured the phone and the wlan. After 5min. its crash and reboot. The battery was 1% !!!
After complete one night charging it is on 50%. this is not normal. On the EPD i have a double screen ?! 25% size on left side and on right side clone.
My Yota is a new device, i will try to send it to the seller or manufacturer
this is unbelievable. after i loading the accu complete, i can start the phone. And all works. 5 days long the phone lay without used it. After this days the phone works. Then i have install whatsapp, activate yotaFit, and will configure the "keyboard". After i changed the Keyboard Layout, UI-system hold on and the phone crashed.
After this, the phone was reboot some times and crashed again. Now, i have the same problem. What is this F** S** ?
The phone only works fine, when i do nothing. when the phone lay one week without interaction. yeay!

good afternoons i have the problem that is drained in the android logo but i can not access the recovery in any way what can i do? Do i have to remove the battery to access recovery?
By the way I have a YotaPhone 1 with a bootloop problem. Could anyone help me with finding the stock rom so that I can revive my phone?
Hello,
no matter what I flash (even stock), after I enter my SIM-Pin, the screen just turns black, but I see the power-menu when I hold the button and the statusbar with blinking wallpaper when pressing back-button.
Any help?
Thanks!

Maybe need more information.
Are you on stock or rooted on costum rom? If so what rom, kernel etc
Thanks, but as stated before:
It doesn't matter, went back to full stock, but same problem...
I wanted to flash new rom in the morning and it kept saying system-partition is busy.

Idk, I had the same problem where I would clean flash everything and install a new fully stock OOS ROM and it used to take me to the security thing and I input my PIN and it just used to go black and reboot the system, and sometimes not boot at all.
I then either used this <https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3761904&d=1464187934> or I changed the file system to Ext4.
I'd rather you try the zip out first. It'll work. I'm 98% sure I used it. Although to save my butt I take zero responsibility of your actions lol.
same as mine
mine is also becoming black screen today, yesterday i was on reading mode and i saw some marks on the corner red, then today totally black. try to flash or reboot it 50 times but still the same.
i flash using msm download woke up abut the screen is blinking then stopped again
Connect to PC with fastboot
fastboot format system
fastboot format cache
Reboot into recovery and flash a new ROM.
???
Profit!
I don't remember what caused it, but my bootloader and charging screen are completely black. I can see screen brightness but there is no content on the screen.
How do I fix it?
My phone is unlocked so I maybe have changed any fastboot setting which caused it, but I can't remember.

Did you managed to fix it ? I have the exact same problem, but I couldn't find any solution on the internet..
If I enter fastboot it stays in black screen, although it's perfectly working (i can flash stock firmware, enter recovery and other things, but I move from one option to another 'cause I remember how they are ordered). Moreover, the black screen stays until the phone is totally booted, and than it works normally.. No bootanimation during all the boot process.

It still has that issue. Like you, Android is working fine so I decided to leave it as-it-as and not to mess up further.
I'm stuck on black screen and i can't even access fastboot , the phone do nothing at all
i was flashing DAVINCI_V11.0.2.0.QFJCNXM_f6f375d6c4_10.0 but it didn't boot it opens miui bootloader as if it's locked
then i tried flashing stock rom again davinci_global_images_V11.0.1.0.PFJMIXM_20191028.0000.00_9.0_global but laptop turns off due to low battery while flashing i tried to reboot the phone an then i got stuck on that black screen
anyone can help ?
Number one rule - charge battery and plug power supply before flashing. I think you have no option but to go to the repair shop - a special hardware must be used almost for sure as you damaged partitions

If you can't access even fastboot there is nothing you can do.
