I tried searching but not really sure what it is I need.
Histiory:
I installed Zune on my computer and hooked my Windows 7 Focus up for the 1st time.
While in Zune it told me updates were available. I clicked on update,it went through all the steps,but when it got to restarting your phone thats where it stayed.
After 13 hours I disconnected the phone,and now I just have the white Samsung logo,although I CAN get into download mode and hard reset
My issue is what am I supposed to download,and how? I'm as noob as you get,but hopefully I can follow simple instructions.
I found a thread on here about firmware revision,but when I click on that it wanted me to install iVid,or something like that,and not even sure what firmware I was supposed to be using.
Under the battery it shows Rev 1.4
Please,can someone help me restore my phone?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, well since you can put it in download mode, you can install MAGLDR (custom bootloader) and flash a custom rom.
Install all for revision 1.4 , link for MAGLDR(read carefully the instructions) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485569
link for custom rom for version 1.4 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024825
Good luck.

I really appreciate the help.
I'm a little concerned about putting anything custom because of my lack of technical knowledge. I'm afraid if I encounter any issues in the future,it wont be easily corrected with custom roms.
Does Zune then work with a custom Rom,or is it no longer needed?
Can anyone provide the factory firmware and instructions on how to download and install ?

Ok thanks. I guess I didn't read it well enough,as this is the thread that I did search ,but wasn't sure as to what link to use,and when I cliick on the links I got this:
http://lnx.lu/5yD, and I didn't think that was right as stated in the very 1st line of my original post. I guess I should have linked that thread and asked the question form there as which to use,and if I was supposed to be on some page for "final torrent"
okay, let's go slower then:
- went to the link with the factory firmware
- there are three roms provided there; since you said that your focus is a rev 1.4, the correct rom is the one labeled WP7_PRODUCT_4K (1.4 HW), in other words, the rom named "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K"
- clicked the link, multiupload says that the file is no longer available
- went back and checked the other two just because... all gone... figures, HEH
- performed a web search for the term "Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK3 ATT USA 4K" (see the trend here?)
- while most of the mirrored links are dead, there are still mirrors alive and well, as noticed on the very first page of results
- one of these is stored on depositfiles, the link: http://depositfiles.com/files/oimdoqz1r
- the other is on zippyshare, http://www7.zippyshare.com/v/14086695/file.html
now your mission is:
- download the file
- follow enderpsp's guide, here, again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17092804#post17092804
- if successful, treat yourself to a nice drink
- SAVE THE FILE in its original package and store it in a cool, dry location for future use
...and that's why i said that search works. because it does
cheers and good luck
ps. there's a thanks button in this forum for a reason :angel:
@Saiyaku
1st off I do thank you for your time and involvement.

I agree,as long as you know what your searching for. When you find threads with broken links ,as I did,it makes a noob even more confused then when they started the search. See 1st line of my original post.
I'm just a guy that had a working phone and when it went to update, killed my phone.
I had no idea the rom you posted is what I needed,,,,so again thanks:good:.

Now I'll explain what happened when I tried the above:
When you follow enderpsp's guide he states:
You will not need the "Samsung WP7 Flash Program" as it is included in the ROM (Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe).
Install Samsung Mobile USB Drivers v5.2
Unfortunately no instruction for a noob on how to install the USB Drivers:crying:
Next it states to:
"1. Copy "Samsung-i917-Focus-firmware-UCJK2-ATT-USA.exe" in a new folder and run it (Install). After running you will see these files:
signed_CSC_Cetus_ATT_i917ATTJK2.csc
signed_eboot_Cetus_ATT.eb0
signed_pda_Cetus_ATT.nb0
signed_phone_Cetus_ATT.bin
WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe
Then it goes on to state:
"The fhash program you need to run is
WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe"
Unfortunately WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe is not part of the download.
The flash program you are being told to run isn't there:crying:
Again very confusing for a noob (see the trend here?)
So currently here is where it stands. Don't ask me how,but after more hours spent on this then I can remember,I manage to restore the phone... YEAA !!
but when I connect the phone to the computer or just turn it on it tells me there are updates for the phone. Running these updates is exactly what caused the problem originally,so now I don't know if I should try again,or just leave a working phone alone?
But again,I really do thank you for your time and support.Yor help is what kept me going at trying to resolve my issue.

Yes,I did,but then it tells me there is a update. Updating the phone through Zune is what started my original problem.
Plus I'm not really sure what the update really is for.

Download giefroot rooting tool v3.1 and extract the files on your PC (Windows only). [original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598]
Connect your phone to the computer.
Start install.bat
If until that moment you have never connected you phone to this PC via adb you will get a popup message on you phone to authorize this computer. Do it.
The procedure will start. After a while your phone should restart by itself.
After the phone boots up wait until a popup from SuperSu appears asking for adb shell root rights. Do it.
When you give the permission you have to see on the computer the sign "Device rooted".
If it says Device not rooted repeat all the steps running install.bat again.

Use flashtool (From flashtool.net) to flash the downgraded FTF file found in the FTF mega collection thread
EDIT @G-FACE, thanks for the reminder, the file you need is also, conveniently, found in the OP of this thread.

Tried this but the same issue as with another procedure I tried.
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Why? I selected which FTF fw file the flashtool should be using, but it's still giving me this error. So strange that no one has had this issue, even though no guide mentions that one needs to install these drivers... :S

Maybe others actually install the drivers then
Goto C:\Flashtool\Drivers
and run
drivers.exe
Choose fastboot, flashmode and Z3 drivers
Then try again. The guides also do not mention that you have turn the PC on, some sort of self help in overcoming errors does help. If it says drivers need to be installed, install them...
PS, also there is never a need to quote the whole OP, I will edit that out for you

Choose the flashmode and fastboot drivers as well
If you are running Windows 8/8.1 you need to allow installation of unsigned drivers.
No problems with rw access if you follow the steps. Xposed installs normaly, as always, no problem installing it.
Rw access to SD is solved by installing SDfix from Market. I did it, and it's working as expected.

Hey there
Today I got a message that I could update my Yoga 2 Tablet via the System Updater, but it doesn't quite work.
First of all about the device:
Lenovo Yoga 2 Tablet 1050F
Running current version: YT-1050F_USR_S0000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW
New version I wanna update to: YT2-1050F_USR_S1000031_1506111400_WW52_ROW
The problem:
I can download the update and when I press the install button, the tablet reboots into recovery mode. The update process begins and reaches 100% pretty quickly. After some time, it says the update failed though.
What I tried so far:
Downloading and updating again, it didn't work.
Download and starting the update on my PC with Lenovo Smart Assistant, didn't work.
Change the country code with the easyimage.zip file and the ####6020# code. I changed it to de (which is my usual country code) and us, but both did not help with the software update.
So... I really do not have any knowledge about android and can't seem to find another clue what to do next. Maybe someone of you can help me with this issue.

I posted the same issue already within the root thread. My device is rooted and after the download it started to upgrade and after reaching 100% it says it failed. I even did a factory reset - but SuperSu stays present and no upgrade is possible. I do not want to flash it via flashify - as bricking might be possible with that methode.
Maybe anyone has an idea how to proceed!?
Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention, my tablet isn't rooted and I tried a factory reset aswell, but nothing worked.
/E: So if anyone has the same problem: The solution is to flash the tablet to stack rom with PhoneFlashTool and update it afterwards. No problems since.
I flashed to stock rom downloaded from Russian Site with Phoneflashtool and tried to update. Update went to 100% then "failed". Any ideas anyone?

You missed presumably one important step after flashing the original rom, changing the country code prior OTA - which was posted already in another thread:
If system update fails do the following:
1. Flash stock firmware
2. Optionally you can wipe user data (I never did that) from DROIDBOOT
3. Go to contacts manager. Create some dummy contact if list is empty.
4. Go to Search / Find Contacts and enter ####6020#. It will ask you to select country code (first two latin letters, ignore Chinese).
5. Select what you want, then reboot.
6. Go to System Update
7. Install OTA update
Thanks. Will give that a go.
/E After the above it now tells me that I already have the latest version at YT2-1050F_USR-S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW and that there is no update. Surely they have not taken the update offline??!
/EE I used the Update.zip I had previously downloaded (when the update first failed).
Placed this on the SD card and installed it via the update tools.
Thank you for those who helped me
Is there any chance You can upload this update.zip file? Thanks

1050F. Update fails.
Hi people, new guy here. I got redirected by some friendly dude.
Anyway, I apparantly have the same problem. Device has never been rooted. Tried the update as is, tried after a factory reset, tried #### contact hocus pocus, did not try anything involving a PC since I don't have one with that still has Windows and I can't seem to figure out Wine dependencies on my Debian box.
So, yeah, I guess I'll call the 1 euro a minute Lenovo support desk now. :laugh:
Anyway, thanks for having me, I'm subscribed to the thread . If I find out something before you guys do I'll let you know, but by all means don't stay up for it.

5) Edit the file flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml and remove the the "command" tags which contain "format data" and "erase data" (the XML tag from <command> to </command>)
6) Reboot your tablet into fastboot mode (hold power up, down and power buttons)and use PhoneFlashTool to flash this flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml
7) Wait for it to finish and when the tablet restarts make sure it goes back to fastboot. If not then power off and restart into fastboot
8) Flash the flash.xml which is located in the folder. This will flash all the KitKat firmware components. That's it.
Be careful if you do something wrong then a brick is very likely. Hope this helps

I'll post files for you. You were able to root your device, so I'm sure you can handle flashing back to stock. I need to sleep right now before work.

Some info, probably well known, but have a question about it.
Hi,
I found a folder 'lenovoota' om my tablet. It contains a file called YT2-1050F_USR_S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW_TO_YT2-1050F_USR_S100067_1507101258_WW52_ROW.zip
and one called packages.xml.
Both can't be opened / are corrupt. 0 bytes each.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, the update fails at download already, right? Would it be of any use to get these two files somewhere and replace the corrupted ones, then trigger the updating process again? Or is that a bit optimistic?
Thanks.
I'm a bit reluctant about the instructions above btw. I know what's what, but, you know, *very* old machine running debian, not sure how VM would perform. Apart from that I am certainly going to be overly focussed on getting the details right and brick my tablet by forgetting a whole major step or something. THanks anyway, though, appreciate the effort.

Yes, it shows as 0 bytes when it fails.
I captured the OTA file from the 1050F. It is usable only on a non-rooted stock device and those devices should take the OTA successfully anyway... But it had the files I needed to repair the bios error from trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat.
And I feel your pain with using a VM. My laptop is pretty new and I have my OEM copy of Windows on an external SSD so it works good enough.
I tried to port the Linux version of the Intel Phone Tool to Arch and it fails because of Ubuntu specific depens. You could certainly try it. If you get it installed and it see's your tablet you should be good. Let me know if it works.

Well, mine is unrooted and it still fails... Ill check out that thread.
Hi there
So, im here because i got problem with my Yoga 2 10" 1050L
Well, i was trying to update my Yoga to 5.0.1 but my tablet says that there is no update.
I was tryin to use Lenovo Smart Assistant - same, no update.
Then i do hard reset (power button + vol+), fresh install, and... kitkat do not recognize any new updates to lollipop.
Then i contact with Lenovo Poland, they was tryin to turn on update from servers for my device - nothing happens.
I got 2 devices, both from Poland, second one (i got two same Yogas, both 1050L) is running 5.0.1 without any problems (it update itself instantly after 1st boot).
So, what can i do now?! Is it any possibilities to get update *.zip file from anywhere, to do it manualy from settings menu in tablet?
Sorry for my bad english, its still not my main )
You can find it here: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/RU/
Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that muchly dude, hadn't checked that for a while.
Update seems to be stability improvements, power efficiency improvements and some yotamirror and panel improvements and features.
Its not 5.1, but it's an update, I'll take it.
And yeah, super glad moved to the RU ROM. Backing up now, will OTA flash update once that's done. SuperSU has been flashable everytime after an update so far so fingers crossed.
All up and running .
I was rooted, running RU 1.87 with TWRP - phone handled it all just fine - downloaded OTA, pressed install - it went to TWRP > flashed stock recovery back over itself > rebooted and installed.
Phone booted up, all working fine. Lost root - simple reboot and flash the SU.zip had sitting there from the last update. Cache and Dalvik wiped for good measure.
Reboot and all is well and back to normal but with a few improvements, lovely.
About as easy as it's even been done really.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy the update through similarly smooth procedures .
Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh installation plus rooting, everything smooth. I'm never too sure what an update leaves behind.
It's really a great device, hopefully they'll keep updating things for a while. Of course version 6.0 would be welcomed... Apparently, by the numbering they use, next step would be either 1.2.xx with Android 5.1 or 2.x.xx with 6.0. Let's see.
Fair play, I toyed with idea of it, but was fresh from last install and honestly don't have the time to set everything up again.
My hope is they take all their good ideas from this and can at least join someone else in making a great device.
Saw a working bendy phone the other day, lets you turn pages on reading app by bending corner as you would a book etc. I thought if that could be combined with yota tech, then you have damn near the perfect tablet.
Honestly I don't think we'll get 5.1, let alone 6.0. They're refining their ideas in prep for Yotaphone 3, that and the possible tablet are their main focus right now.
Interestingly, the update flashed it's stock recovery over twrp - someone prepared for the possibility of root owners this time around. So they are still paying attention .
So any idea what's the difference between the EU and the RU rom? I mean there has to be some reason they are two separate roms.
To answer my own question: there isn't too many differences between EU and RU roms. I did a diff between the RU1.1.59 and EU1.1.60, and out of 2092 files, roughly 1900 of the files inside system.img were identical. The APKs were slightly different, but only slightly. So probably the difference comes from some differently named resources.
The RU version also has some additional apps which the EU version does not have, such as Esquire, Questions, Strelka and Vector. These are probably the main reason why they have different ROMs. They might only work in Russia.

FYI the difference is essentially the product package configuration (app bundles that are pre-loaded) but there are also some differences between the resources used for the stock apps. One in particular (my personal fav ) is the dialler - the RU variant includes cyrillic characters regardless of language/locale setting (feature). The EU will give you a regular english-only dialler if you're using english locale settings

i'm using this post as a minimalistic guide for myself (so i keep it up with my "discoveries" )
and ofc for been helped by everyone who wants to help me because i am completely new to android world cause this is my first android phone ever!
so.. let's get started!
i downloaded [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
version 1.4.3 doesnt works for me so i downloaded the 1.3 as suggested and worked.
then i enabled the download mode following the procedure:
Turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. This should boot you into download mode.

*is installing TWRP a mandatory step?
EDIT: the answer is NO. it seems that the mandatory part is to unlock the bootloader (the bad part for the warranty.. and that can erase ur data..) and this can be done following this guide How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 untill point 6 included - which i am reporting here for easy of use.
How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 said:
How to Flash TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2
1 - Setup ADB and Fastboot on your Windows PC.
2 - Enable USB debugging from developer options on your YotaPhone 2.
3 - Connect it to PC with a USB cable, if it asks for debugging authorization, permit it.
4 - Go to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image from the download link above on your PC and open a command window inside that folder by doing “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder, then select “Open command window here”.
5 - (Skip this if your bootloader is already unlocked) Now to unlock the bootloader, type in the following command:
└ Beware that unlocking the bootloader may wipe your phone’s data. Make sure to backup first before proceeding.
adb reboot bootloader

└ This will reboot your phone to bootloader mode

6 - Now if your phone has rebooted and is no longer in the bootloader mode, then boot it back into bootloader mode with the “adb reboot bootloader” command.

NOTE: Russian firmware seems to contain English language. i dont know how to change it later to the favorite one.

The info is described in various posts across the yotaphone forum. Are you rooted? If not then there also many many guides across the internet for that.
Not walking you through the whole process, sorry. We all had to learn, once you do it's all much easier.
It happens also to me...don't panic! press Volume up and the power button and when you enter in the bootloader select the downloading options, it will restart the phone with the "downloading" status
in the meanwhile with the yotaflasher select the option to downloads a firmware and try a different one. When the download is finished try to flash once again.

I placed like you the rom downloaded through website in the firmware folder and flash got wrong. I was blocked on "powered by android" logo like you.
After this almost-bricking experience, I flashed 4.4.3 downloaded all through Flasher and phone was working again.
Then I tried to substitute 5.0 system.img in the folder downloaded through Flasher but no way... after flashing phone didn't boot.
I reflashed 4.4.3 back again and now is working.
I think that we can't put files in folder for Yota Flasher...
I cannot download last 5.0 EU version, like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yot...ially-dead-t3312382/post65839167#post65839167

*i downloaded the last 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.61a.zip then i flashed it. reminding to unzip it and put it in the right folder of the flasher. remind that this will delete ur data too prob.
*i checked for update on the phone in setting--> about phone --> sistem update
*it downloaded lollipop (android 5.0 Lollipop - 1Gb to download) :laugh:
*i took the 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip and flashed it
*u can choose english when the phone boot so dont worry about firmware to be RU
*i checked the firmware version doing the combo "Volume up and the power button" (press it while restarting)
*i changed the language of the phone in setting --> language (there is plenty of languages to choose. i choose mine, italian, but sometimes it happens to find something in english )
i downladed some app etc etc but i never used it for calls cause of the requested nano sim that i'm going to take tomorrow probably cause today i get stucked with trouble about my contacts.
hope to solve the problem for pass my contacts form my nokia N8 to yotaphone 2 quickly!

Hello! I have 5.0!
After flashing and old version of 4.4.3 (my phone went with a 4.4.something branded Vodafone Italy, and they evidently don't give a fork about updates). With the 4.4.3 rev 1.0.51a I immediately received he update to 1.0.56a: I downloaded the 114MB, rebooted, and then got the update to 1.0.61a, around 63MB. I rebooted and then got finally the update to 5.0, 1GB :laugh:
I have only one problem now: the device doesn't recognize when I'm looking at the ink screen, and power button powers on the amoled... Even unlocking through swiping from bottom to top doesn't work. Option is correctly set, I tried to uncheck, reboot, wipe cache and check the option again but it not working well yet.

seems that is the same for a lot of people if not everyone..
cause of this problem i am using this app gravity screen on/off.
it halves the problem cause now i have no problem for the amoled. and for problem i mean use the pwer button instead of simply swipe.
for the e-ink panel i still have to use the power button, only way it works.

Which version did you install? Afaik, you'd need the 64bit zip for Android 6.0

Tried it, but it did not work. tried it multiple times, it states a succes. Download OK. But when i try to start TWRP by holding vol+ and power, or vol+ and vol- and power
it just starts normally, or it gets me to the factory settings.

also tried the drivers, and stuff from this page : https://elephonemobile.eu/t/how-to-root-latest-elephone-p9000-stock-rom/34
I have : Elephone_P9000_20160628 does this have to do with it ?
and i now tried a wireless update... to 20160715 but it says, it will restart in recovery mode to do the update, but then the phone keeps hanging on the ELEPHONE logo... so i can not update the phone anymore apparently... ( so something is done to the factory settings :s but not the TWRMP )
i'm gonna try now the scatt file from my firmware build that i downloaded here : http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/o...-p9000-p9000-lite-uebersicht-download.785193/
did not work, but now i have the original recovery back on the device, and now i can do the wireless update to 20160715 so i now have latest version of my P9000 firmware... but now... still my main question how to root it that TWRP works
Help !!! i don't use the phone untill i can install xposed framework and Xprivacy on it

Flash magisk via TWRP.
Hi.
I think my problem is unusual.
I try to install TWRP and/or root my device.
I red a few instructions in german and english.
And still nothing.
Details.
1. I have the compilation: from 2016.08.10.
2. Updater says I have new soft. I can download it 100 times. It says "downloading", then "installing" and "rebooting" but in the end nothing changes: still the same rom, still I can download and install this new soft (from 2017.1.12, 927,13 MB).
3. I can open the recovery mode. This is impossible for this device. Power+UP, Power+DOWN = doesn't matter. I see something like bootloop, but after 10-20 seconds the system is rebooting normally. No recovery.
3A. I didn't find an extra settings in "Options" which give more possibilities during turning off (for example: "restart in recovery").
As You see I can't make the backup (nesessary for me) that is why I didn't try "factory reset".
4. Instructions from Internet didn't work:
a) "MT65xx USB VCOM DRIVERS" installs some drivers but I don't have "Ports (COM&LPT) for Windows 10,
b) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": no scatter file, don't know how to make it, the file from Internet didn't help,
c) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": I can't tick "recovery" and any other option,
d) "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3": it doesn't show any informations about the device.
As You see I can nothing with my P9000.
Do You have any ideas?
