yotaphone 2 - 4.4.3 special firmware - YotaPhone

as I read yotaphone 2 thread at 4pda forum(by google translate),
one of the user RomanS_85 give this ftp link that point to special 4.4.3 hk 1.0.3.61a firmware.
There is different in size compare to hk 1.0.3.61a at ftp from fw.ydevices.com.
there also Chinese doc, pdf file and yd206 3.28a commercial firmware.
I not yet tried both firmware. any members already tried that special firmware?
maybe any members here can read Chinese can have a peek some info.
Any safe method to downgrade from lollipop to KitKat?
as last time I got problem just to downgrade from ru 134 to hk 66.
thanks.

this special hk 61a firmware using CN1_M05 radio. so I think this special firmware is original firmware of yd206 hk.
p.s. do note that, I flash radio only.

[Question] A510f XEO 6.0.1

I've been waiting patiently for XEO version of MM but now I'm tired of waiting. Has anyone in this region flashed another version successfully?
I'm just concerned about having modem issues if I use another region.
That's been replied in other threads already.
They had no problem, neither selecting russina, nor turkish, etc. To be sure, ask in already existing thread.
Yeah, I've read those threads - people are from other regions. Anyway, guess I'll just go ahead and flash one.
If Germany don't realse the firmware tomorrow I think I will flash turkish version! because in this website I can check the Changelist http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-A510F and Turkey had "8492782" more than the other marshamallow roms so maybe it's better.
I have flashed the russian MM version from sammobile and it works perfectly as it should, since it is not telecom branded you won't deal with excessive bloatware. The only "russian" thing in it is that it has russian keyboard input preinstalled togetger with English of course.

It may have failed because of corrupted download. It's always been a pain downloading from Sammobile, given the slow speeds you need a stable internet conenction for extensive periods of time. I'm glad you succeded with the Russian one.

Install yotaflasher and install the lowest firmare (kitkat) from the RU firmware. After that use OTA to upgrade to latest RU firmware. You can search the forum on how to obtain yotaflasher and what to do if something goes wrong.

Depending on where you live LTE bands can be different, in that case you have to flash the RADIO from the original Chinese firmware. GSM bands should not be affected as far as I know. There are several people who have replaced the radio in the firmware here on the forum so a quick search should let you know how to do that. All the languages are available in the RU version.
The only thing different in the video is that they download the firmware first and then extract it and put it in the right folder. YotaFlasher can also do that for you but the method in the video also works. Hope this helps.

The RADIO is ondeed responsible for supporting the LTE bands, they have to match the phones hardware.
I use my YotaPhone as my seconds phone and only use the second screen for message checking and stuff like that. I rarely use the main screen. With that kind of use I can get between 3 and 5 days of battery use. But I don't know what the battery use is of used as your primary phone.

Yotaphone getting too hot

Hello Everybody,
I bought a Yotaphone 2 model YD206 at Gearbest. The Smartphone arrived with Android KitKat, I used for some time and it was OK, but after updating to Android 5 ROM CN it started getting too hot while casual using such as Facebook, E-mail, Whatsapp.
Is that normal? I expected that it could get warm only while playing games or using GPS, but for my surprise it is getting too hot only for normal usage.
Is there anyone who get the same problem? If I change to another rom such RU or EU can solve the problem?
I already root the phone and also installed xposed together with L Speed to see if the problem persists, but it is still happening.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a chinese version of Lollipop?
Anyway, I see many people like you complaining about the phone getting hot after an upgrade. My guess is that its related to the baseband version. Since your model is YD206, are you sure you have flashed the correct chinese baseband with this so-called CN firmware (isn't it HK? Isn't it for YD201 models?)?

Yes, the model before updating was YD206 CN and after flashing to Android 5 it changed to YD201 HK 1.124d.
Is there a CN firmware running Android 5? I only found HK. Maybe this is the reason it is getting hot, the baseband / radio from these versions are different, can it be?
Yeah, I would definitely flash the YD206 baseband.
In this thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194), there's a revamped version of the YotaFlasher attached to the first post. With this one, it is possible to select what to flash individually to the device, i.e, whether system+radio+userdata, or only system, or only radio etc. With that you can choose to flash only the radio files from YD206 firmwares.
Use this reworked YotaFlasher, download any chinese Kitkat firmware and make sure to allow to flash only the radio binaries when prompted.

I want to go back to 4.4.3

Hi,
I've loved the colour screen changes but since my EPD is messed up from the 6.0 update, I havent used it at all.
I would go back to 5.x but I didnt like how hot it got with that so my best bet is to go back to 4.4
Problem now is that yotadevices' ftp is down so yotaflasher doesnt work.
Does someone have the latest 4.4.x rom so I can flash it through twrp?
Seems like Yota is cleaning the slate for Yotaphone 3. As for the firmware, download it from below and decompress it in the 'firmware' folder where the Yota Flasher is installed. Follow the instructions of the installer.
Here you go:
Yotaphone 2 Kitkat 4.4.3 HK
is this same software as in yd206 from gearbest

I can't say about that, though it's the official HK release from Yotaphone site ftp.fw.ydevices.com when it was online.
I am trying to find the 4.4.4 firmware version but I can't. Maybe it s because what you say that yotaphone are erasing the old files for the new model.Can any one help me with a link for the 4.4.4 firmware? I have a YD206 version, but I am no sure if its important.
Thanks

Kitkat remained briefly on my phone, so I did not update to 4.4.4. I hope someone might still have this lying around.
I just searched a torrent options and I found a 36GB ONE, which has dozens of firmwares for every flavor (HK, CN, RU, EUR,...), and no one has the 4.4.4. If some one have a link of the image and can upload to somewhere I would be gratefull
My firm is from HK. Why is everybody moving to the RU? It's because tis (I think) the most attented one? And the last questions.... When you move to a RU version it appears in an easy way to change it to english language?
Many thanks
Try this page
Many thanks glasseffects, but there aren't any 4.4.4 furmware version there, in any world region. It seems it just desapeared from internet
That seems to be the case. I haven't encountered it either, though 4.4.3 wasn't bad either in contrast to Lollipop, which was catastrophic.

How to flash firmware for dummies?

Hey all, I'm a newbie here and frankly I'm not a developer or anything else. I got my Yotaphone 2 recently and cannot upgrade Android to Lollipop or Marshmallow, apparently because of the Vodafone firmware I have now, see the answer from Yota Support:
You have the firmware version KTU84L.4.4.3-S01-003-VIT.0.3.50a. Originally this Vodafone firmware version can't be updated to Android Lollipop at all (and furthermore to Marshmallow). We have plans to update to Android 6.0 all those phones which have RU (ends on 1.1.134) and EU (ends on 1.1.124b) firmware versions.
That's why I would like to flash the firmware to either RU or EU version (dunno which one is better?). I went through the threads here and couldn't really find step by step manual for dummies like me. Any help would be superappreciated. Thanks.
