I just puchased a yotaPhone 2 and as all of us know there is no native update button in phone ,i downloaded firmware through yotaflasher but cannot find it in my PC and showing error ..where to download the firmware from and where to place it for flashing the firmware,can anyone please provide me detail instructions on how to flash lollipop on this phone . thanks in advance!
Yotaflasher should take care of all that, it stores firmware in the firmware sub folder. There is no need to look at anything. Just select download zip, then select flash in yotaflasher.
Try repeating it.
For detailed instructions, plz read the other posts on this Yotaphone group .
Also don't forget too put your phone in download mode! And make sure windows finds the drivers for the phone or you'll be really frustrated!
hi,i tried to upgrade to Lolipop but now i'm stuck.Using adb devices finds my device connected but when i write adb sideload <filename.zip> does nothing and after a while i get the message in my phone E:footer is wrong E:signature verification failed.
I have tried with 4 different firmwares ..same result.Any ideas please? i'm stuck in the Android system recovery and can't do anything with the phone.
Don't sideload the zips from the yota ftp - they can't be flashed like that.
Instead use yotaflasher. If needed delete the folder where yotaflasher is installed on your PC, then reinstall it again.
In YotaFlasher download latest RU firmware, put the phone in download mode ( power+ volume down) and start flashing.

- I bought YD206 CN firmware(4.4.4) and downloaded the latest firmware(5.0) under CN directory of YOTA firmwares and successfully installed it using Yotaflasher.
- After upgrading, model number reflects YD201 and the build number - LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.124d
My question is can I flash the latest RU build on the firmware mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.
You need to flash RU 124 and then update with OTA to RU 134.
So in conclusion If I have HK 2006 phone Is better to upgrade to 5.0.0-HK1.1.66.zip and after that need to flash again if I want EU or RU version, never do that directly because would be problems.
I yotaflashed yd206 from HK 4.4.4 kitkat to latest Russian kit kat, then did an OTA to get the latest Russian lollipop firmware. No problems, but there is a long wait at the yotaphone animation for 5 minutes after lollipop upgrade.
I had no problems with radio (frequency bands) on newly configured Yd201 but I live in Asia.

So you say is better to upgrade the firmware from HK 4.4 to RU 4.4 and then i flash the firmware again with 5.-.-0?
No, only 1 flash is required using my method, HK4.4 -> RU4.4
You can then update RU4.4 kitkat -> RU1.1.124 lollipop by OTA (Over The Air) because it can then be updated directly in the phone settings. This OTA must be done anyway in order to get to latest RU version.
The size of the OTA is 1GB, a huge download. During the first boot up of the lollipop, there is a very very long wait for lollipop to start for the first time, where it updates all your apps to new lollipop format. Be patient at the yotaphone animation during first lollipop boot up.
I'm not saying my method is better, I only use this method because I read here that a few people had problems flashing directly from HK 4.4 -> RU 5.0 But Many people have successfully flashed direct from HK4.4 -> RU1.1.124
Forgot putting the phone in download mode

guys can you help me ? I can not update my phone . I always lock at the same point . Give me some advice please.
Try to flash the first 4.4.3 EU you find on the Yotaphone ftp (I guess you have the Italian from Vidafone now... you have the VIT - Vodafone ITalia).
I flashed *only this* firmware without problems: if I try to flash directly the 5.0, all versions EU RU, I cannot.
When you have flashed the phone should boot and get the OTA to Lollipop 5.0 1.60EU. Some other guys here have flashed the 1.99 Russian without our problems
Hi guys,
I got this phone about 2 years back from a store in the middle east and it turned out later that this device was actually from a swiss carrier - Swisscom. It was unlocked so it didn't really matter at the time. Ever since then it hasn't updated to any of the latest android versions. It always says "latest updates installed", even with Kies. It wasn't really an issue before, but now a lot of apps just crash constantly. Anyone knows how to fix this?
If the phone is not in its home region it won't get updates. Download one of the unbranded ROMs from sammobile.com and flash it via Odin.
Look for the latest rom on sammobile.com and flash via Odin.

What if I want to install CM? Should I follow the same steps and just change the file chosen to CM? Or there's something else to be done too? These were the instructions:
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.11.1
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA - right here? I'll chose CM firmware. Will that do?

No. Flashing a custom ROM (CM) is a completely different procedure. There are guides online.
For cm, you should flash twrp via Odin. After flashing Odin, you can save the cm rom to the phone's internal or external memory, boot into twrp, and flash cm and gapps from twrp.
Personally, with all the bugs Cyanogenmod has in it, I'd rather flash AOSP on the S4. But that has nothing to do with your actual question, which @audit13 answered succinctly in the previous post.
Alright, thank you guys! I've decided to go with the official firmware, as given on sammobile. Just one last question. On sammobile there are various versions for my phone. Should I be downloading the "Swisscomm" variant again? I'm in the US now and I don't want to be stuck without an update. Can I install the US version? Or even an open international version, so that I don't get stuck again.

If you are not carrier locked, then yes.
For everyone who are having the problem in updating yotaphone 2, there is a simple solution, I wasted two days to find it
I brought yotaphone 2 from China, I was eager to update it to the most recent software, so I flashed the European firmware by yota flasher , and my phone got bricked
After spending two sleepless night I got the solution
For bricked devices, get the phone in download mode, and flash the oldest chinese firmware, your phone will start
Now if you want to update it to lollipop in your c drive, in programme file there will be a folder called yotaflasher, in that folder there will be a firmware folder, from that folder copy the RADIO
folder, now delete everything else
Now through yota flasher download the latest European firmware, and as explained before replace the RADIO folder in European firmware by the RADIO folder you copied from chinese firmware
Hurray you will update your yotaphone 2,ENJOY
Didn't need to do that... I just flashed the UK rom then the Russian rom with no fuss.
Mine too was the YD206...
Oh, and it just auto updated to the latest 134 rom, I am rooted and have TWRP recovery installed.
Got it, opened a how-to flash with TWRP topic.
Hi,
I have a G935F of the S7 Edge from German T-Mobile which I have debranded using the latest Android 6.01 DBT-Version from SAMMobile and then updated to Android 7 in March (G935FXXU1DQB3).
Somehow I didn't receive and online updates so I have tried to flash the latest version with the latest updates which is G935FXXU1DQEF.
Strangely after flashing the update I was notified that there was an additional update available that I should install which downgraded automatically to the initial version G935FXXU1DQB3 again.
The only thing I was unsure was the CSC part of the firmware.
When I flashed the HOME_CSC_DBT file I got a query for a password at startup of the phone (I didn't configured it for a password before). Then flashing the CSC_DBT file the phone booted up normally.
Can someone explain how to get the latest update of Android 7 on my phone?
Cheers,
TheDemon
Hey there! I am on my build WAS-LX1AC185B172. its fully stock, unmodified, unrooted , stock recovery and bootloader locked. So i decided to update it to WAS-LX1AC185B181, this firmware is officialy available in my country via OTA, but it weighs 2.35 Gb and my internet connection is week so i was unable to download it via OTA. so instead i downloaded a FULL-OTA firmware from firmware finder app (my friend did it for me). and i want to install it through DLOAD (three buttons method) but its starts and stucks at 5% and throws an error "Update install failed" , I dont know what is going on. Kindly help me how to install this firmware, and also can it be flashed through TWRP. as the Update.zip file seems to be flashable. or is there any other method to do it.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
