Yota development?

Looking at the new Yota phone, will there be any development (root, ROMs, themes etc) for this device?
Has it already begun or are developers waiting?
I am thinking about getting one (the device) so I wanted to know about tweaks I could potentially start with, root being the first.

i have honestly not heard about this device and its looks pretty cool! i cant wait to see what development we might get for it.

I'm also very interested in the Yotaphone
As of now, it is available in Germany.
I really want to get one, I'm just waiting for the first user reviews an especially wheter the phone can be rooted and the reading app FBReader will be re-configured to work with the eink screen.
Hopefully, Framaroot will be able to root the phone and from a comment on FRReader's Facebook page, it seems that the Devs are collaborating with the Yota team to make FBReader compatible.

Good news: FBReader has been updated!
1.9.4:
* Added support for YotaPhone e-ink screen
link to Play Store
hopefully, the first users getting their Yotaphone can try it out and report back
And as FBreader is open source (GitHub), lets hope that more and more devs use their code and calls to the yota library to support the e-ink screen in their apps

Root
According to a Russian Board, the Yotaphone can indeed be rooted throug Framaroot (by using the Gandalf exploit intendet for Qualcomm SoCs)
Source
Lets just hope that the bootloader is unlocked and we can access Fastboot or something similar.
IMO we don't even need full ROMs as the Yotaphone is running vanilla Android that could easily be tweaked throug the Xposed Framework and something like GravityBox

Hello guys, im having my yota phone now!
see attachment,
and i can confirm that i am rooted by gandalf exploit framaroot.

Would def appreciate a review ))

Ok, guys! I've just rooted my Yotaphone. android 4.2.2.
I need big favour now. I can choose only MTP and PTP connection. So far I couldn't found any good soft to mass storage connections.
Can I install any additional soft? For Example: "USB Mass Storage Enabler" was really close to connect "Mass storage mode" but after I choose "Mass storage mode" I don't see MTP connection on computer screen and nothing more.

Disable (uncheck) 'USB debug mode' that might bring mtp back.
Alternatively, freeze the enabler app and see if that brings mtp back.

Yota...you seriously need to float a few devices to the top devs in this community...are you listening?

Rooted
I was able to root the yotaphone with Kingo root. Activated Xposed installer and Gravitybox. No problems were encountered during that but after trying for system upgrade, it failed and now phone keeps restarting. Going for factory reset now.

Reboot was because of lazyswipe. As soon as i installed after formatting, it again started rebooting. Uninstalling solved it later on.

Yotaphone 2 - 4.4.3 KK
no problem no reboot no loop
for Yota 1 i dont know! sorry

i have asked Yota Devices for GPL'd kernel sources and their intention to support Custom ROM development in general, but so far I have not heard a real answer from them, just a link to the developer section on their website. That contains info for app-developers, not ROM development (at least at this moment). Maybe if more people ask, they will release sources, which will help development.

Bootloop after Chainfire 3d driver install
Hello all,
I have successfully rooted my Yotaphone c9660 using Kingo Root. I installed the driver in Chainfire 3d application. After that my phone restarted and entered a bootloop . After reading over forums and got to know that the bootloop happened because of the driver. The solution is to remove the library files using adb on the pc. But that requires a recovery like CWM. I have no CWM because I used Kingo. I dont think the phone also has a default recovery. Can anyone suggest how to fic the issue.
Thanks in advance!

Hellooo.
Is it possible to access the bootloader / download mode in this model? If so then you could attempt to unlock the bootloader, then look around and see if someone made a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. If someone has then you can flash that and attempt what you need to do.
Good luck.

Wife possibly soft bricked??

Ok
So the wife has the ATT version.I am not 100% sure if she was on JB or KK. Last night we were going to bed and she said that a notification popped up to update an app (well she says it said to update an app) and so she hit ok. the phone rebooted and went right to recovery.. the phone will not boot up.. every time it boots it goes right to twrp... i tried to restore her old stock backup and it still wont boot...
so, what I am thinking might have happened was she was on JB and it came up saying an update for phone was avail (going to KK) and she hit yes.. and since she was rooted, it failed or something and soft bricked it. does this sound about right?
What I am wondering is will using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369 work... i downloaded the kitkate D80020C one and wondering if that process will fix it? or, do I need to do one of the JB ones?
I appologize, but unfortunately I don;t really use the phone and not familiar with it.. all i did was root it for her and get rid of some bloat and then boom.. she F's it up
appreciate any feedback... hate to run that and make it worse if it does..
Zug
edit: so.. other issue is can't seem to get it to boot into download mode... i plugged the cable into laptop , held the vol up button, then plugged the other end into the phone and it still only boots into twrp...
any ideas?

thanks... i actually managed to somehow find that post and was just about to update..
so, her phone had the old twrp without adb,, so i did the instructions for the terminal command and did that command and the phone boots..
here is what i posted there and maybe possibly you might know as well..
now question is what else do i need to do to her phone ... its hers (sorry note3 guy here ;P)
i am in her about phone and this is what she has.
4.4.2
kernel 3.4.0
build kot49l.D80020u
D80020u
i
is she on the latest? do i need to update twrp, if so, what would be best method...its bee a while since i rooted it and not sure what i did.. in my downloads i have ioroot24, so guessing that is what i did.. not 100% sure if she took the ota to KK or not.. as that is what I am thinking happened ad she came from JB, but does it make sense that the ota stuck after i did that command? all her apps are still there that she recalls, but i can't be 100% certain wtf happened
do I need to do anything further for her? again, i appreciate the help

what the command form that thread does is delete the ota file from a partition where it stores itself on your wifes device so it could stop trying to ota and boot normally
well if she is running d80020u then she has updated to kk before(jb was d80010d>d80010o> and then kk update was d80020c>d80020k>280020u>d80020y) with 20y being the latest(and the one it asked her to update to befor brick) if you want ot be able to ota to the latest than you would need to use download mode to go to stock and then do ota process until d80020y and for root on new update you need to use stump root with the brute force method and then use autorec if you want custom recovery again and if you decide to use autorec you will need to flash a custom kernel with knock code support for d800(I suggest dorimanx kernel) because autorec will break knock on/knock code

well a heads up it will be happening again, att pushes the update and after ignoring it a couple of times it will force install the update; if you want to avoid it then there are a few options:
1)if you are a titanium backup pro user then just freeze the ota app(I think it was something with dms in the name but I have not used att rom in a couple of moths and forgot the name sorry)
2)if you don't own tibu pro than using a root explorer just delete the ota app(once again I don't remember the name, sorry)

Hello.
Congratulations on rooting your device. The LG G2's bootloader is locked. But that's not a problem. In order to get a custom recovery so you can start flashing, you just need to install an application called AutoRec and tap a button - it's that simple.
Check our this thread and follow the instructions. Make sure you download the right model for your device.

OK, everything works fine, but I made something that I *should* not to do... "Calibrate" the battery with Battery Calibration app... Since I've done it, my battery is just going crazy. It stays stock at 100% for an hour and then drops so much fast... What is the problem and how do I solve it? (When I restart without battery level at 100% it still reset the battery log :c)
P.S: It takes so much time to just show up expected battery time left!

Yes now I'm on CM13 but I did my root on COS 12.1 before, KingRoot works on both ROMs for me.
Yes, for me rooting gives a lot as I'm using Xposed modules like Amplify and Greenify and some other nice software, but if you don't find it useful don't do it Read on internet what ROOT gives, it's not useful for everybody, but for me is essential.

Hi guys,
I have been trying to root my device for 2 days, with no success.
I have tried 2 different Windows computers, just to make sure that I wasn't making any mistake with the drivers. The problem is that I never get to see my device when I launch the command "adb devices". Developer option is activated, ADB modeas well, OEM unlocking as well. Driver installed (Google generic one and tried also ZUK USB drivers 1.0.5), I get to see 3 devices in System Properties:
- under portable devices
E:\
Z1
- under ShenQi ADB Devices
android ADB interface
Can anyone suggest what should I do?
I don't get the RSA Authentication authorization request from the device once I plug it in....
Really no idea of what to do. Should I try kingroot?
Thanks in advance

Use the tool in the link below and follow instructions. It will do everything for you and install a custom recovery and let you install su.
Would recommend uninstalling all previous USB drivers and start again.

you have to oem unlock the bootloader in fastboot. which i have done and will try the root method you were talking about

Awsome finally somebody who has some info. Im at a loss. Dont wanna brick it screwin around.

None of the root methods work. What i need is the ota download zip. So then i can pull stock recovery and make twrp recovery....

It's possible it could be done with add I think. Or you'd have to reset your phone back to stock pre update and then let the ota do its thing and look for the ota zip in a folder or something.

If you read previous posts then you would know there's no root method right now. Also rooting won't instantly make your phone take better pictures.
