Hey guys,
I have the YotaPhone 2 and it's stuck on lollipop 5.0 for ages.
It feels like they ditched this phone completely.
What do you think guys?
Someone has some different info?
I hope not, some marshmallow would be nice and i am about do start an cyanogenmod port (if if find the time...)

I've spoken to them a couple of times, both their Facebook page and their customer service indicated their won't be a move up to Marshmallow, very doubtful over a move to 5.1 even. Any more updates will be focussed with optimising the existing software, adding slight features for the EPD etc.
Sad but they are a small company, seems they can only focus on 1 model and a time.

Thanks for sharing!
New Update .
Still Lollipop 5.0, but brings some useful improvements and enhancements. I'll take it.
I hope, with the release of the Yota 3 and 2c, that the price of the YD201 falls down. They can't update neither Yota 1 and 2. I still got the first one, but just because I live in Brazil and got from a nice guy that agreed to sell and send his Yotaphone 1 to me from India.
Anyone inclined to sell your Yota2 please talk to me.

It's for the RU (russian) firmware, if you check the other threads there are methods to flash the previous version. I have been using it for a few iterations now, the new one worked as an OTA, even with TWRP (they added something to reflash the stock recovery, Yota noticing the significant root community using this phone in Russia at least).

Thanks for the info!
I only believe it when it is real, but according to info from tech support, also the EU firmware will get an update this month...
BTW, lollipop isn't too bad, I switched back from marshmallow on my nexus 7 - too much battery drain. if Google could get it right the first time, you wouldn't need monthly bug fixes. not saying that an update for the yota isn't overdue...
Is just me that can't update? I have no OTA and flashing manually gives me "no MD5 file found" error

More info please .
firmware version? software version?
can you skip the md5 checksum?
you're rooted, so can you download the russian (RU) firmware and flash that?

Yes, thanks
Sorry what you mean with firmware and software version? Phone was running Kitkat 4.4.2 or 3 (now is bricked).
I cannot skip the checksum, no such option in my TWRP (2.8.5). There are others option about checksum on backup but no skipping during install.
I am rooted (and bootloader is unlocked) but I cannot install the RU version. Here I don't understand why you ask me if I am rooted: I can install from recovery or TWRP without root
I downloaded all RU versions and the last EU version from the ftp and I got the MD5 error with all, both Lollipop and KitKat.
Then I tried with Yota Flasher utility: I saw that for flash ROM it was seeking for "firmware" path, so I created "firmware" path and put there the ROM.
I started to flash and it took only some seconds... I understood immediately phone has gone bricked.. and so it is...
Then I tried to download the firmware through Yota Flasher: it arrived to 100% and got stuck in there...
I'm trying to redownload it and hope to flash the system, phone is here in downloading mode waiting...
Provide you my flash method, manually. Use the fastboot.exe in cmd, and type command line below
****************************************************************************
fastboot.exe flash aboot firmeare/emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot.exe flash boot firmware/boot.img
fastboot.exe flash -S 512M system firmware/system.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery firmware/recovery.img
fastboot.exe flash cache firmware/cache.img
fastboot.exe flash modem firmware/radio/NON-HLOS.bin （flash the radio）
fastboot.exe flash sbl1 firmeare/radio/sbl1.mbn
fastboot.exe flash rpm firmware/radio/rpm.mbn
fastboot.exe flash aboot firmware/emmc_appsboot.mbn （flash again, just do it.）
fastboot.exe flash userdata firmware/userdata.img （notice this is for the user data, including app data and SD）
fastboot.exe reboot (reboot and wait, about 20 min stuck on logo, it's ok.)
Thank you xingshi.
I'll try.
How long does the entire process take?

UPDATE
Via Yota Flasher I download succesfully the 4.4.3 and flashed the phone. Now it's back
I tried to download again the 5.0 EU but no way: arrives at 100% and stops. If I check file's dimension I see it is a couple of kbytes below the size of the other package I downloaded from web browser and in fact it's impossibile to open the zip.
I'll try to download other version of Lollipop through the Yota Flasher.

NEW UPDATE
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
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. I open a thread for this...

Same here , have just bought the YOTA 2 too, Vod branded. I wanted to upgrade to to EU 1.60 (rom which seems to be pretty stable): Can I ask you if you have the 1.60 actually or the 1.9x (Russian one)?.
The bug you describe seems to be a real pain, do not want to risk.
Will appreciate any help.
Thx mate

I have the 1.60 EU.
You can make a NAND backup and then flash the newest firmware, trying maybe the 1.99 RU. Even if you flash the 1.60 EU, is not sure that you'll have my same problem, there's people who flashed without issues...
PLK-L01C432B190 (for B180): http://update.hicloud.com:8180/TDS/data/files/p3/s15/G939/g104/v51796/f1/full/update.zip
Just put the .zip file in your dload folder and do local update.
This update fixes issues related to icons and input methods and improves system security with the latest Google security patches. [Fixes] Fixed an issue where the Google input method can't be used when the system language is set to Serbian. Fixed an issue where the icon for the calendar downloaded from the Google Play Store and system calendar icon are the same. [Optimizations] Deleted the Huawei browser (with the Google browser remaining unchanged) for a better user experience. All user data from the Huawei browser, except for bookmarks, will be deleted. Bookmarks will be imported to the Google Chrome after you update your device. Improved device security with the latest Google security patches. Deleted quick sharing of application installation packages and images to ensure their legal use. [Update notes] 1. Before the update, make sure your phone has not been rooted. If you experience any issues during the update, please go to http://consumer.huawei.com/ or visit an authorized service center for assistance. 2. This update will not erase your personal data, but we recommend that you back up any important data before updating.

Hello,
Did you tried it ? 'Cause except for the security patch, i dont' think this update worth it, am i right ?
I think people who were in that version didn't got any update to B37x.
To my (limited) knowledge B180>B370 excluding betas.
in my case failed at 9% and I do not want to reset phone... staying at b180

Yes, the screenshot taken from my phone
@zinko_pt I got B371 update notification 1.18 GB in size.
@Ing.King really strange, i did it without any issue.
By the way guys, I just released it. It's up to you, updating or not..
We who had only B371 couldn't either update. Where and when will we get B30?

Really soo weird, I installed it at once without facing any problem.
It doesn't need a clean B180 rom because I installed it over my usual rom. It wasn't clean.
Something must be wrong in somewhere... but where?
Back here again..
No good news, tried to instal via sd, same issue, fail at 6%
But, but, but there might be a reason, i flashed the sdk21 of xposed, and idk how to remove it.. maybe this is the cause of it....
When you installed, you had to : unroot & put the recovery back ? Or you where "clean"
I'll try tomorrow, with a rest head

Oh, when I was saying "not clean" I meant installed apps and my all data
And yes, my rom was clean if we consider root and recovery condition.

Hi,
Hmmm so maybe the xposed package.rar i've flashed made this error
Well, i'll try when i receive the H8
Or maybe i had to put the recovery of B100 instead of B180 :/
Edit 1 : When i check the local.prop, there is "ro.dual.sim.phone=false" or the PLK-L01 is a dual sim, so i don't understand ^^
Edit 2 : Flash with TWRP =
MD5's missing
coming from B180 stock /rooted /xposed.....
1.) i flashed all possible partitions i had extracted (HuaweiExtractor) from B180. (system; cust; boot; recovery)
2.) reboot
3.) i flashed full rom B180 from folder dload (vol up&down&power) to be sure to get really all parts of firmware!
4.) reboot
5.) local update b190.zip from folder dload
6.) reboot
7.) i flashed twrp rc3 with fastboot to recovery partition
8.) had rooted and installed xposed now
all works as expected! Now i am on B190.
at least i had to install some modifications to system again and recover my data partition (twrp)
all in all nearly 1 hour hard work!

Hi,
In fact you just cleaned up your B180 in order to instal the 190 ?
The "real" B180
Pure stock if i could say ? Sure, it will work, but i tried to install it without getting back to stock^^
uff 1 hour to achieve upgrade... pity that I have to do factory reset to make upgrade to b190, no root no open bootloader no changes to firmware despite all this I cannot upgrade normal way... very sad, bad job honor(huawei)
because i had made a backup of my apps and data with the HUAWEI backup app (update to version from PlayStore is necessary!) recovery was easy! Had to remove some blood ware and unused apps only!
then reinstalled PMplus; managed autostart and apps they should stay on if screen is off.
reinstalled my google account
all in all a little bit more than 1 hour like i told you
now i am on b190 rooted; xposed and xprivacy activ on; and of curse Viper4Android for better sound.
real easy!

How did you update it? if you were rooted then you have to flash img files manually first before doing a three button update.

Yes, as B371 is the latest one so they will push B371 only, now there are no incrementals. But I have put up a thread here, maybe sometime later I'll post the OTAs too.

Raw firmware
I have the same issue. My phone was branded "tim italy". When i bought it, I flashed the WW version via asus flash tool, and I'm currently able to update till the last M version, which is the ......152.
If i try to update to Android N, my phone will not boot, giving me the corruption message and shutting down after 10 seconds. I also tried to perform the dm restore procedure; the dm error disappeared but the system is stuck on the Asus boot screen
I believe that the only solution is to flash a Nougat RAW firmware via asus Flash tool. Does Anyone have a download link for the N version ?
I have the same problem .. is there who can help?
`same problem can't update to nougat but my error is signature verification
hope someone can help us both

Do i need to downgrade to MM, B160? Cam i update to 370 via dload folder and 3 buttons method without downgrading?
I already tried rollback via this metod http://forum.xda-developers.com/huaw...vices-t3563955 and after 5% it gives the error "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package."
Do i have to do anything else before loading the rollback file onto the SD Card in the dload folder?

I used the exact rollback package to rollback from b371 incomplete build to b160 and worked great...
Is my phone supposed to be rooted, or have TWRP installed for the operation to be completed successfully?
I tried 2 times and it always fails at 5 % giving the error "Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package."
The phone should be unrooted with stock recovery for this to work.
Did you try directly updating to b370 or 371 via 3 button method ? Not sure if this would work but this is what I would try to do if I we're you.

When i bought the phone, the bootloader has already been unlocked, and TWRP installed. I wanted a clean experience so i flashed the beta 336. TWRP is gone, so i belive is not rooted anymore. The message at startup still shows up that " your phone can't be trusted". So is the bootloader locked now? Can it even be relocked?

I don't know the answer. As far as i know flashing b336 should relock the bootloader and get back to stock recovery. In development topic there is a discussion about going back to stock. Maybe there you will find the way to get back to stock.
Don't try to flash b370 or b371 if you are unsure that the bootloader is locked. I will search more info on this and get back to you if i can find something.

I have read on the forum that is not possible to flash b370 directly from b336. If it bricks the phone, how will i flash another stock rom? I was planning to rollback to b160 and upgrade to b370 using the firmware finder and the stock updater. I might give it a try, flashing the B370 directly. Also, will i need 2 files, on the dload folder? The update.app and the big 1.94gb image? Thanks
Also, if huawei finally releases the B370 OTA. will i get the update automatically if i am on beta?

Nope, it's 100% safe and u'll never get a bootloop, but it's safe to always make a backup before u make an update. Cu multa placere

Almost lost the hope
Ff proxy doesn't work.
Three buttons method allso not a solution :/
Maybe its something wrong with my head, not with the phone
Helpful video
I was having difficulty figuring out how to use Firmware Finder when I upgraded to B360 on my VNS-L21. Then I found this video, and it worked perfectly.
Forgive me if this is old news, but it may help someone who is also having difficulty:
I am unable to post the YouTube URL as I am fairly new, but search for this title: "[How to] Using Firmware Finder by Team MT. Installing any firmware from Huawei update server."
I finally managed to find the courage to update. Went smoothly. I can confirm that Firmware Finder works, but be careful to download the right package. For B160 - B370 and B161 - B371. Both are 1.94 GB in size. Nougat is very nice and all features work as intended. Lets see the battery life now...
Hi
After searching both xda and official huawei site i finally found the rollback package for FRD-L09 and FRD-L19.
Method is:
1. Download rollback package (73,32 mb) and firmware (1,75gb) from: http://www.hihonor.com/uk/support/search-result/index.html?keywords=Honor 8#filter-section
2. Unzip rollback package and copy dload folder and Update.app to phone (dload/update.app)
Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on phone by PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
3. Delete "old/small" update.app from dload folder on phone
4. Unzip firmware and copy the update.app to dload folder on phone
Turn off phone, wait 10 sec.. Turn on by phone PRESSING BOTH (UP AND DOWN) VOLUME KEYS AND POWER KEY until emui screen, then release. The update installs automatically.
Now you have latest official Android 6.0
thank's
thank you, tomorrow morning i try
Did as you mentioned, but when I want to go back to MM the Updater says that the Package isn't available and stops at 12%. Could u pls help me.
I can confirm this works 100%. Followed the steps and I was back to Android 6. After setting up the phone I downloaded the OTA-update to 7.0. No problems at all, thank you very much for this small but very useful guide!!!
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a rollback method for the Asian model (FRD-L09C636) because a rollback package for this version doesn't seem to exist.
Has anyone tried to flash the MM firmware directly without the rollback package?
Thanks

I was able to downgrade my Malaysia version Honor 8 Nougat (FRD-L09C636B380) back to Marshmallow (FRD-L09C636B130) according to this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70863098&postcount=6
The rollback package is probably usable for all FRD-L09 as I have done the downgrading.
This worked fine, thx very much
Greatbro.
ANy way to re-lock to re-lock the bootloader?

Probably downgrade. Looks like my camera hardware has died, fails on all custom roms and on restored emui5. So I need to return it.
Rommco05 said:
So install stock firmware and you will see if camera works. Which is your model?
Click to expand...

Yes, that's what I did, I had a full TWRP backup of all partitions - restored them all, rebooted fine into the phone, but the camera had just disappeared, like it had been uninstalled. Used gallery to get to camera, and it fails to open.
FR-D09
Rommco05 said:
aha, that's because u make restore via twrp. I have same issue, u must install original full firmware

How did you install original firmware?
Did you lose TWRP etc? Have you fixed your camera? Are you now able to reflash custom ROMS again?
(Sorry for lots of questions)

If u have still access to twrp flash this two zips

If I could find a way to disable the batterch charging light, I'd happily stay on stock!
Thanks for your help, Rommco05

Tried them all! Cant get Lightflow to control the LED at all, Led Manager controls notifications, but doesn't turn off charging LED.

Because it annoys me next to my bed, and if I'm in the car, and it's in the holder, I don;t want the led on all the time. LED=notification, not charging.
