The lollipop update for the N910U in New Zealand this morning bricked my phone when I installed it this afternoon. I then went back to the latest 4.4.4 update and factory reset the phone and tried to install the 5.0.1 update again this time via ODIN, it got halfway through downloading the system.img before failing, so I reflashed the latest 4.4.4 update and tried again via Kies which also failed and this time when I try to reflash the 4.4.4 update it fails as well.
Now I'm currently trying a Software Update and Initialization via Kies, if it doesn't work what can I do?
EDIT: Changed to a different computer after trying all USB ports on my main one and it worked in ODIN.
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

So I did, and you right know I am really frustrated. My yota is stuck on "Powered by Android" screen, what can I do? Posted more information on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69919853&postcount=24
Hey Guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530H, the updater asked me to update the Android into Lollipop from its original firmware Kitkat 4.4.4. After finished installing, it started bootloop, it wouldn't boot to the Android. I tried to search from many sources, to fix my phone, and I found some thread that I must to reflash the firmware because they said it's corrupted. After that, I downloaded Odin, the firmware (Android Lollipop) and flash it. It still can't boot to the Android. I tried to flash to Kitkat and it seems that the Odin was failed to flash the firmware. I can't find the CSC and PDA code from the phone because I can't boot into Android. I also tried Kies and SmartSwitch to initialize my phone, but it didn't work.
What should I do now???
Hi,
My phone is on B196 fw, rooted, TWRP w/o problem. OTA update B198 just appear as FW update notification. I've flashed back to stock Recovery (B170) and rebooted. When I've tried the OTA B198, phone fails using the 330 MB patch and switches to the download of the FULL version. After downloading the file, I'm getting checksum error every time I try so I can't perform the OTA update. What I'm doing wrong? Do I really need stock Recovery B196 for doing this OTA update?
Thanx in advance for any help.
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.
