Will this restore the Indian Version to stock as well?
If so can I use the all earliest firmware that you have provided or should I download one specific to my region?

A and B should work on ANY XT1068 as it's a Retail for ALL Dual sim, (it may or may not have certain languages) but if you can find your original firmware it's a easy job to add the automated script
My fone came with KXB21.85-23 installed. Noticed big battery drain. Should switch to ART instead of Dalvik?

I'm just leaving mine as is till lollipop comes out as OTA for XT1068
Wait, wouldn't the boot loader message modified prevent this roms from getting otas since it's a change to a file system?

I dont think so as you can still download OTA with modified Roms, but you need Stock recovery to install - but if it worries you edit the .bat script to remove the line with logo2.bin in it near end of script.
if we cant OTA install, but have a OTA zip of Lollipop we can modify it and just flash it via mfastboot method anyway

I don't know, I'm quite new to Motorola phones but I read in this forum more than once that for OTA updates (atleast for the lollipop one) you must have a completely stock rom, even a frozen system app would make the update fail to install.

I have run 4.4.4 versions .14 .23 and .27 on my xt1068 as well as modded xt1064 5.0 and modded xt1069 5.0.1 , so worst case is All I will be able to run is modded roms, but i'm 99.99% sure that if you have the correct OTA for you Android version on phone there will be a way to upgrade.

Well anyway I just saved all of your packages just in case I'll ever need to restore my UK XT1068 back to stock.
I still have bootloader locked and everything as it came out of the box waiting for 5.0 OTA (of course I'll try to get the link and post it on XDA )

as of 14/01/2015 firmware B is Accepting OTA zip update (copy to internal memory AND SDCARD ) to Lollipop 5.0.2 from india
bro can you please upload Firmware KXB21.85.23 (DSDS ALL) to google drive as some people are not able to access mediafire??!!
For people looking for the latest YP2 firmware release: Today Yota officially released the 1.87 firmware. It's still Lollipop 5.0, and Russian region only at the time of writing. It should however be pretty usable for e.g. EU too if you're eager, english UI language is included in the RU ROM too). I haven't tried this firmware yet, but I intend to.
If you're currently on RU firmware, check for a FOTA update (about phone->system updates).
If you're on another region firmware and are patient, just wait till it shows up as a FOTA update anytime soon.
If you're on another region firmware and a bit less patient and a bit more daring, you can download RU1.1.87 here, and flash it with yotaflasher. Backup first, own risk etc.
Thanks!
YotaReader's been beautiful! :good:

Did you get an OTA or flash the rom from twrp?
First I loaded the usb ADB drivers then unlocked the Bootloader from the command line after that I used yotaflasher tool to load the new ROM that I downloaded from their website and then sideloaded the TWRP recovery partition to help flash the superuser zip.
I'm wondering how to update using yotaflasher exactly and where to put my downloaded file? because when i tried that my phone just got stuck on Android logo, I fixed that but I want to know and understand what i did wrong
you need to move the firmware files to the same location as the Flasher tool
Mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher ( your directory may be different )
if you got stuck on android it could be a bad download or it could be just doing the update.
IIRC mine was stuck on android initially but after a rebbot it started updating all the android apk files and then booted and ran fine.
Max
All up and running and all good.
I can confirm the procedure is the same as the last one (for those having used Yotaflasher. I hadn't but it's pretty straightforward).
Backup > unroot > flash stock recovery > yotaflasher (with firmware in right directory) > boot > flash su > ....... > profit!
Thanks again SteadyQuad

I personally didn't have to unlock or root the phone. I just downloaded yotaflasher and looked on the net for the right usb drivers. Then downloaded the rom with yotaflasher (4.4.3 EU) and flashed it. Didn't have any issue with file download or location it cause Yotaflasher did everything for me. After reboot it started to upgrade and now I am downloading via OTA 1.60 EU. Think will stop with it , waiting for the next EU rom. Will report in the next days any bug if I find.
Cheers
PS: Max I looked at your signature and saw that you own G. Glass too, if I am not wrong. Maybe I will ask you a couple of questions if you do not mind in the future cause mine went crazy in the last period and cannot understand what is the problem. Anyway I will try to read a bit over the net before bothering you. Cheers
Seem that 1.87a EU has been made available on Yota official ftp site. Anyone has tried it yet? I checked OTA update with the 1.60 EU installed, but as for now, I do not see any update available. Just would prefer not to use yotaflasher , cause I prefer OTA due to the fact it seems to me safer

Can someone help me in sending me the backuped copy of the update software on your x720. My rom doesnt have the update option. Thanks.
You might as well download official rom, rename it to update.zip and install from stock recovery. You're going to have problems with Google services though.
I tried using stock recovery with 18s.. mine is currently 17s. But it gives me message on stock recovery that the update apk is not found.. any solution for this ? Thanks..
My phone came with shop rom which had update removed. Flashed newer official rom with method above without any problems. Now running TWRP and TARS 19S though.

It is the official leeco download location.
Download, place it in the root of internal memory, rename to update.zip and install from recovery.
It has english language. If you need google apps, search for google installer.

Factory ROMs don't always play nice with TWRP or any custom recovery. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/development/t-r-s-19s-usa-version-para-lepro3-x720-t3514960 It's really clean and nice, haven't had a single problem with it.
So the version of the firmware I have is 11.0.054 which is a fairly old global firmware. It's really bad and I really want to update but since I don't own a PC my only option is to go through the process of manual installation of these ZIP packages...
The problem is though, I can't find the update files anywhere. I need 211 and so on until I get to 350.
Any idea where to get them?
Sorry the only file i can found for update.zip Ota start from 11.0.284.
You can look on 4pda

I guess your bootloader is still locked. You have 2 options to upgrade to latest roms, both will involve wiping all data on your phone, so backup first:
- without unlocking BL, you can flash official ROM files with QPST. This will bring you to latest version and remain 100% stock; hence you will get future OTAs
- Unlock BL and flash any rom you want using fastboot or TWRP. This will give you the flexibility to swap rom versions, in most case you will be able to go from CN to ROW without wiping data. But you won't get OTAs. For all future upgrades you will need to flash with TWRP manually.
Before hand, you will have to choose whether you want CN (11.1.105) or ROW (11.0.350) rom.
You'll find walkthroughs here or using google.
Hello,
Recently a Huawei P9 lite VNS-L21 came into my hands. I experimented a bit with unofficial ROMs but eventually flashed the official back. I had flashed an earlier version, ending in 380 I believe, but because the phone attempted to upgrade to the next incremental update (say, -382) I decided to upgrade myself to the latest supported version (506). I used Firmware Finder to find the firmware and downloaded it to SD card.
Upgrade succeeded - since I had left TWRP recovery in the phone, I used the HuRUpdater which worked flawlessly.
The only small issue is that following this update, a red message is displayed on boot saying the device has failed verification.
Any way to solve this?

Hello,
my doubt is that you flashed a different firmware version from the one you had, thus corrupting the device's oem file. Could you post which was the latest complete firmware without this problem and the last one you downloaded and flashed? ( ex. L21CxxxB382 & LxxCxxxB506 ).
Let me know this info ...
Hi,
I went from l21c432b380 to l21c432b506 during this process. Stock OEM file was flashed before the -380 upgrade (no errors existed, the 380 upgrade followed a flash of -370).
I'm not sure why this is happening - I mean, both firmwares were from the firmware finder app... Weird, to say the least.

Yep, you used correct file but anyhow the firmware has been corrupted.
I think you have some ways to solve...
1 - if you have stock recovery, reboot into it and
download and flash the same latest firmware.
If you do not have it, you can extract (with huawei update extractor) it
(should be recovery1.img) from B506 firmware (update.zip) you already got,
then can be flashed via fastboot commands.
2 - Flash a previous or B380 firmware via HuRUpdater, then
update to latest via Firmware Finder with dns/vpn method.
3 - Repeat the whole job you done with B506 firmware. (via HuRupdater)
4 - Reboot recovery, reflash L21OEMinfo file, dual sim one, then the latest firmware again...
P.S.: method 1, 2, 4 will re-lock the bootloader, no problem if still you got the code...
Beware method 4, after you flash the oeminfo file do not shout down, reboot to bootloader
and unlock it again with the code. Device will reboot into twrp, then flash B506 firmware.
Good luck and let the community know..
