Lenovo Yoga 2 1050L firmware needed / Error when installing the latest update - Thinkpad Tablet General

Hi guys,
I hope anybody can help me. I'm looking for the latest firmware for my yoga tablet 2 1050L.
It should be YT2-1050L_USR_S100255_1601131716_WW52_ROW. At least that is what the OTA message shows me on my tablet.
After softbricking my tablet (was stuck in lenovo boot logo) when I installed this OTA update (162MB), I was able to recover it with firmware S100192. I checked also for country code and set it new. When I now try to install the OTA update I get an error and can only boot the tablet again and it wants me again to update to the S100255 firmware.
I also looked in the russion lenovo forum (you can translate with google into englsh or my case geman)
http://lenovo-forums.ru/forum/395-yoga-tablet-2-10-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%88%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B8/
But there is the latest firmware I can download S100192.
So I would need either the S100255 firmware to flash it from stock or anybody can give me an hint in how to solve the udpate error

you cannot skip ota's, they are cummulative

Hi ionioni,
ok. what do you mean exactly? I don't want to skip it. I want to update it but it's showing error while the update process. and then when I am in Android again it wants me again to update to S100255. So I thought I could flash it with the latest stock rom S100255.
At the moment I try to flash an older stock rom like S100081 or S100225 (and then doing OTA hopefully) but whenever I try to flash it it boots into Android again when it should
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Phone Flash Tool\fastboot.exe" "-S" "500M" "-s" "BaytrailABFF4CD2" "oem" "wipe" "ESP"` command

your initial message was a little ambiguos...
before flashing a stock rom go in Contacts and in the search contact box input ####0000# and tell me what he says under BIOS version

ok, you can flash a lollipop stock rom as you have the matching bios
first uninstall the Intel Phone Flash Tool you have now and install the one from here
then you can install using your stock lollipop rom if you have one or using this (if you download this flash it from DnX mode)

OK, I don't know why but it seems to be a problem within my office. I downloaded it at home and there I have no CRC issues.....
I will try to flash tomorrow than and hope it works. DnX mode is booting with both volume buttons into fastboot, right?

Ok, now I was finally (!) able to flash it and to boot it into android. Strange issue when I extracted your zip file on my HDDs on my company's notebook I got a zip CRC error. I unzipped it now directly on my USB drive (connected to my company laptop) to my external HDD and I had no issues. Only the devil knows why...???!
So after using your phone flash tool lite version 5.3.4.1 it worked now. I'm just downloading now the next OTA update over WLAN to version S100192. after that version S100255 should appear. let's see what happens Thank you so far.

no don't think it's EOL as it was on both my harddisks and I have no problems with other files. Don't bother anymore.
Good news: was able to flash and update it OTA to the current Firmware S100256 (14MB) which has been released as there may have been some bugs to the S100255. and it works! Thank you very much! :silly::silly::good::good::good:

Hi Ionioni.
Sorry for bothering you, but I have same problem as Iceball24. Could you tell me what should be the settings for Phone Flash Tool to flash yoga properly?

Maybe this can help you:
Make sure you use the latest Phone Flash tool (lite) which was 5.3.4.1 for me. Make sure you use a USB port at your laptop PC, don't use a hub (did not work for me). And If you are not able to flash it via the DnX mode (press both Volumen buttons and power on the tab) then try using the Fastboot mode in the bootloader (volume down and power on the tab).

Hi ionioni,
I'm back with a further problem. I just tried to start teamviewer on the yoga. I get an error that the firmware may be faulty and I should check for a proper IMEI. So I put in a SIM card (which I have used in anther phone) and I'm able to unlock it with the pin. But I get no data connection and also when I try to set a new PIN for the SIM card in the security settings I enter the PIN and it says wrong PIN I have 3 more trys. but I can try it as often as I want, it does not lock the SIM card.
So what may be the problem? any ideas?
UPDATE: Ok, just checked my IMEI online and it appears to be an IPHONE IMEI??
Update 2: Under settings, network, more, mobile connection (? just know the german word for the settings) I can not choose the menu as it is deactivated and grey. I just read that the tablet may think it is in flight mode?

Why do you need to update to the same Firmware as it came? You can just wipe it in settings.

Not unless you want network issues or worse! So it's generally not recommended for most devices unless explicitly and officially stated.

Hello everyone I wanted to ask for help if possible. I bought from china the ZE551ML (ASUS_Z00ADB) unfortunately I received the CN version, on the site of the store was not specified anything and I thought it was the WW now I live in Italy and version CN has no service google, nothing playstore, gmail etc. and especially the 4G network does not work, before you start shipping procedures and reimbursement, wanted to know if is possible to change the software from CN to WW and as if you have to do, thank you very much and sorry for my bad English

Are you sure it works for ZE551ML?
For me holding Power + VolDown doesn't start to boot. Phone silently (without vibrating and screen activity) enter to some strange mode. It's not easy to exit. Usually random holding power with volume buttons exits from this mode.
There is fastboot entering procedure with Power + VolUp (instead of VolDown), but there is no option to update from SD card.

Just download driver and platform tools Folder. Download the file u want to flash. If it's a system image extract it on the platform tools Folder. Connect your phone and in platform tools open a terminal. Enable adb on your phone and type on the terminal adb devices. If it gives you a number then type adb fastboot reboot. Phone will reboot in fastboot and then type on terminal fastboot flash system system.img. It'll take a while but it'll tell u when it's done. Then reboot phone. If all is good your phone will be on WW.

[Q] Problem updating Lenovo Yoga 2 10"

Hey there
Today I got a message that I could update my Yoga 2 Tablet via the System Updater, but it doesn't quite work.
First of all about the device:
Lenovo Yoga 2 Tablet 1050F
Running current version: YT-1050F_USR_S0000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW
New version I wanna update to: YT2-1050F_USR_S1000031_1506111400_WW52_ROW
The problem:
I can download the update and when I press the install button, the tablet reboots into recovery mode. The update process begins and reaches 100% pretty quickly. After some time, it says the update failed though.
What I tried so far:
Downloading and updating again, it didn't work.
Download and starting the update on my PC with Lenovo Smart Assistant, didn't work.
Change the country code with the easyimage.zip file and the ####6020# code. I changed it to de (which is my usual country code) and us, but both did not help with the software update.
So... I really do not have any knowledge about android and can't seem to find another clue what to do next. Maybe someone of you can help me with this issue.

I posted the same issue already within the root thread. My device is rooted and after the download it started to upgrade and after reaching 100% it says it failed. I even did a factory reset - but SuperSu stays present and no upgrade is possible. I do not want to flash it via flashify - as bricking might be possible with that methode.
Maybe anyone has an idea how to proceed!?
Thanks for the reply.
I forgot to mention, my tablet isn't rooted and I tried a factory reset aswell, but nothing worked.
/E: So if anyone has the same problem: The solution is to flash the tablet to stack rom with PhoneFlashTool and update it afterwards. No problems since.
I flashed to stock rom downloaded from Russian Site with Phoneflashtool and tried to update. Update went to 100% then "failed". Any ideas anyone?

You missed presumably one important step after flashing the original rom, changing the country code prior OTA - which was posted already in another thread:
If system update fails do the following:
1. Flash stock firmware
2. Optionally you can wipe user data (I never did that) from DROIDBOOT
3. Go to contacts manager. Create some dummy contact if list is empty.
4. Go to Search / Find Contacts and enter ####6020#. It will ask you to select country code (first two latin letters, ignore Chinese).
5. Select what you want, then reboot.
6. Go to System Update
7. Install OTA update
Thanks. Will give that a go.
/E After the above it now tells me that I already have the latest version at YT2-1050F_USR-S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW and that there is no update. Surely they have not taken the update offline??!
/EE I used the Update.zip I had previously downloaded (when the update first failed).
Placed this on the SD card and installed it via the update tools.
Thank you for those who helped me
Is there any chance You can upload this update.zip file? Thanks

Exactly the same problem. The ####6020# not work. Before m'y tablette was rooted but now after flash with easyimage, the stock ROM is OK but no update. I'm verry disapointed. Can you help me?
Thanks
1050F. Update fails.
Hi people, new guy here. I got redirected by some friendly dude.
Anyway, I apparantly have the same problem. Device has never been rooted. Tried the update as is, tried after a factory reset, tried #### contact hocus pocus, did not try anything involving a PC since I don't have one with that still has Windows and I can't seem to figure out Wine dependencies on my Debian box.
So, yeah, I guess I'll call the 1 euro a minute Lenovo support desk now. :laugh:
Anyway, thanks for having me, I'm subscribed to the thread . If I find out something before you guys do I'll let you know, but by all means don't stay up for it.

I run Arch on all my machines. I was able to use my virtualbox windoze 8.1 (It came on my laptop but never booted it... ) vm to use the intelphonetool. I flashed this stock rom here and then took the ota lollipop update. If you want to root this works in Linux.
BTW... temporary Windows vm's can be found here

5) Edit the file flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml and remove the the "command" tags which contain "format data" and "erase data" (the XML tag from <command> to </command>)
6) Reboot your tablet into fastboot mode (hold power up, down and power buttons)and use PhoneFlashTool to flash this flash-LtoKK_PVT_810.xml
7) Wait for it to finish and when the tablet restarts make sure it goes back to fastboot. If not then power off and restart into fastboot
8) Flash the flash.xml which is located in the folder. This will flash all the KitKat firmware components. That's it.
Be careful if you do something wrong then a brick is very likely. Hope this helps

I'll post files for you. You were able to root your device, so I'm sure you can handle flashing back to stock. I need to sleep right now before work.

Some info, probably well known, but have a question about it.
Hi,
I found a folder 'lenovoota' om my tablet. It contains a file called YT2-1050F_USR_S000198_1504220313_WW21_ROW_TO_YT2-1050F_USR_S100067_1507101258_WW52_ROW.zip
and one called packages.xml.
Both can't be opened / are corrupt. 0 bytes each.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, the update fails at download already, right? Would it be of any use to get these two files somewhere and replace the corrupted ones, then trigger the updating process again? Or is that a bit optimistic?
Thanks.
I'm a bit reluctant about the instructions above btw. I know what's what, but, you know, *very* old machine running debian, not sure how VM would perform. Apart from that I am certainly going to be overly focussed on getting the details right and brick my tablet by forgetting a whole major step or something. THanks anyway, though, appreciate the effort.

Yes, it shows as 0 bytes when it fails.
I captured the OTA file from the 1050F. It is usable only on a non-rooted stock device and those devices should take the OTA successfully anyway... But it had the files I needed to repair the bios error from trying to downgrade from Lollipop to KitKat.
And I feel your pain with using a VM. My laptop is pretty new and I have my OEM copy of Windows on an external SSD so it works good enough.
I tried to port the Linux version of the Intel Phone Tool to Arch and it fails because of Ubuntu specific depens. You could certainly try it. If you get it installed and it see's your tablet you should be good. Let me know if it works.

Hi there
So, im here because i got problem with my Yoga 2 10" 1050L
Well, i was trying to update my Yoga to 5.0.1 but my tablet says that there is no update.
I was tryin to use Lenovo Smart Assistant - same, no update.
Then i do hard reset (power button + vol+), fresh install, and... kitkat do not recognize any new updates to lollipop.
Then i contact with Lenovo Poland, they was tryin to turn on update from servers for my device - nothing happens.
I got 2 devices, both from Poland, second one (i got two same Yogas, both 1050L) is running 5.0.1 without any problems (it update itself instantly after 1st boot).
So, what can i do now?! Is it any possibilities to get update *.zip file from anywhere, to do it manualy from settings menu in tablet?
Sorry for my bad english, its still not my main )

Marshmallow for rooted device???

Does anyone know any other way to get marshmallow on my rooted device? I have TWRP on there and am trying to side-load, but everytime i click on adb sideload on my phone, the phone disappears from my computer. I have tried many things to no avail. I apologize if this has already been asked elsewhere. TIA!

You could use the return to stock tool in the development section and just take the OTA. Then you can just reflash TWRP.
Thanks for the quick response, but I have done that a couple of times and i have received the OTA, but the install always fails. I am using the RTS program that has the file that starts out with CLARK_RETUS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18.......... Is there another that i should be using? BTW, I am on the European 1572 variant if that matters. Thanks again for the reply!
I've got the same problem, I'm on the 1572 instead of the 1575 and not sure on what to do with the return to stock tool
I just went through this yesterday. I tried the twrp but got no WiFi even with flashing the modem. I tried return to stick and failed the first time. I tried return to stick the second time but flashed the modem file by itself again and then the MM upgrade worked. That is the only thing I did differently.

dont use the return to stock tool for the xt1575 on the xt1572, you need to get the xt1572 firmware from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833 get it, and unzip it, then get this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzsA17IjC5k2Y203VklsVDhseDQ/view?usp=sharing and put it in the same directory, make sure you have fastboot installed system wide, otherwise put the files in the same directory as the images, boot the phone into fastboot mode (power + vol down), plug into computer, and run the flash-all batch script, once done, the phone should reboot into stock 5.1.1

no problem oaklands! Thanks for trying to help out! I believe I have flashed to 5.1.1 alright, but for some reason I can't update. It don't seem like my modem wants to work or something. I flashed a new one and everything. Any thoughts? TIA
I am interesting also,
I have rooted EU version 1572, and cant wait for Marshmallow. Is there a solution to update from Lollipop to Marshamallow right now?

I can only tell you the only thing I did differently after returning to stock was to flash the non-hlos.bin file in fastboot a second time. I believe that is the correct file name. I am not at home to verify. That is all it took for me. I would try again. I have seen others that have repeated steps that did not work the first time to have it work the next time.
Keep in mind I am on US 1575 version but I don't see why it wouldn't work for you as long as you have the proper files. I would initially get to 15 or 20% and it would just fail with no error code.

New Firmware 5.0.0-RU1.1.99

You can find it here: ftp://fw.ydevices.com/YotaPhone2/Firmwares/RU/
Install either via OTA update if you're already on the 1.87 RU ROM like I am. On my device it first wanted to install the update only, about 67MB, but it failed to install; then the next time I checked for updates after reboot through the settings update menu, it downloaded the full file, about 0,99 GB. Then the update went all the way through. SuperSU is lost on the way, I will try if it still works through the recovery installation.
You can also install through Yotaflasher like it's explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3247356
Didn't have time to test things out, but it's still Lollipop 5.0, so only bugfixes and some new yotapanel features I guess.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that muchly dude, hadn't checked that for a while.
Update seems to be stability improvements, power efficiency improvements and some yotamirror and panel improvements and features.
Its not 5.1, but it's an update, I'll take it.
And yeah, super glad moved to the RU ROM. Backing up now, will OTA flash update once that's done. SuperSU has been flashable everytime after an update so far so fingers crossed.
All up and running .
I was rooted, running RU 1.87 with TWRP - phone handled it all just fine - downloaded OTA, pressed install - it went to TWRP > flashed stock recovery back over itself > rebooted and installed.
Phone booted up, all working fine. Lost root - simple reboot and flash the SU.zip had sitting there from the last update. Cache and Dalvik wiped for good measure.
Reboot and all is well and back to normal but with a few improvements, lovely.
About as easy as it's even been done really.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy the update through similarly smooth procedures .
Yeah, I ended up doing a fresh installation plus rooting, everything smooth. I'm never too sure what an update leaves behind.
It's really a great device, hopefully they'll keep updating things for a while. Of course version 6.0 would be welcomed... Apparently, by the numbering they use, next step would be either 1.2.xx with Android 5.1 or 2.x.xx with 6.0. Let's see.
Fair play, I toyed with idea of it, but was fresh from last install and honestly don't have the time to set everything up again.
My hope is they take all their good ideas from this and can at least join someone else in making a great device.
Saw a working bendy phone the other day, lets you turn pages on reading app by bending corner as you would a book etc. I thought if that could be combined with yota tech, then you have damn near the perfect tablet.
Honestly I don't think we'll get 5.1, let alone 6.0. They're refining their ideas in prep for Yotaphone 3, that and the possible tablet are their main focus right now.
Interestingly, the update flashed it's stock recovery over twrp - someone prepared for the possibility of root owners this time around. So they are still paying attention .
So any idea what's the difference between the EU and the RU rom? I mean there has to be some reason they are two separate roms.
To answer my own question: there isn't too many differences between EU and RU roms. I did a diff between the RU1.1.59 and EU1.1.60, and out of 2092 files, roughly 1900 of the files inside system.img were identical. The APKs were slightly different, but only slightly. So probably the difference comes from some differently named resources.
The RU version also has some additional apps which the EU version does not have, such as Esquire, Questions, Strelka and Vector. These are probably the main reason why they have different ROMs. They might only work in Russia.

FYI the difference is essentially the product package configuration (app bundles that are pre-loaded) but there are also some differences between the resources used for the stock apps. One in particular (my personal fav ) is the dialler - the RU variant includes cyrillic characters regardless of language/locale setting (feature). The EU will give you a regular english-only dialler if you're using english locale settings

and ofc for been helped by everyone who wants to help me because i am completely new to android world cause this is my first android phone ever!
so.. let's get started!
i downloaded [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3
version 1.4.3 doesnt works for me so i downloaded the 1.3 as suggested and worked.
then i enabled the download mode following the procedure:
Turn off the phone, then press and hold the volume down key + the power key at the same time. This should boot you into download mode.

*is installing TWRP a mandatory step?
EDIT: the answer is NO. it seems that the mandatory part is to unlock the bootloader (the bad part for the warranty.. and that can erase ur data..) and this can be done following this guide How to Install TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2 untill point 6 included - which i am reporting here for easy of use.

How to Flash TWRP Recovery on YotaPhone 2
1 - Setup ADB and Fastboot on your Windows PC.
2 - Enable USB debugging from developer options on your YotaPhone 2.
3 - Connect it to PC with a USB cable, if it asks for debugging authorization, permit it.
4 - Go to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP recovery image from the download link above on your PC and open a command window inside that folder by doing “Shift + Right click” on any empty white space inside the folder, then select “Open command window here”.
5 - (Skip this if your bootloader is already unlocked) Now to unlock the bootloader, type in the following command:
└ Beware that unlocking the bootloader may wipe your phone’s data. Make sure to backup first before proceeding.
adb reboot bootloader

└ This will reboot your phone to bootloader mode

The info is described in various posts across the yotaphone forum. Are you rooted? If not then there also many many guides across the internet for that.
Not walking you through the whole process, sorry. We all had to learn, once you do it's all much easier.
It happens also to me...don't panic! press Volume up and the power button and when you enter in the bootloader select the downloading options, it will restart the phone with the "downloading" status
in the meanwhile with the yotaflasher select the option to downloads a firmware and try a different one. When the download is finished try to flash once again.

I placed like you the rom downloaded through website in the firmware folder and flash got wrong. I was blocked on "powered by android" logo like you.
After this almost-bricking experience, I flashed 4.4.3 downloaded all through Flasher and phone was working again.
Then I tried to substitute 5.0 system.img in the folder downloaded through Flasher but no way... after flashing phone didn't boot.
I reflashed 4.4.3 back again and now is working.
I think that we can't put files in folder for Yota Flasher...
I cannot download last 5.0 EU version, like described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yot...ially-dead-t3312382/post65839167#post65839167

*i checked for update on the phone in setting--> about phone --> sistem update
*it downloaded lollipop (android 5.0 Lollipop - 1Gb to download) :laugh:
*i took the 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip and flashed it
*u can choose english when the phone boot so dont worry about firmware to be RU
*i checked the firmware version doing the combo "Volume up and the power button" (press it while restarting)
*i changed the language of the phone in setting --> language (there is plenty of languages to choose. i choose mine, italian, but sometimes it happens to find something in english )
i downladed some app etc etc but i never used it for calls cause of the requested nano sim that i'm going to take tomorrow probably cause today i get stucked with trouble about my contacts.
hope to solve the problem for pass my contacts form my nokia N8 to yotaphone 2 quickly!

I saw also an update this morning at home on wifi (I wait for the SIM too) because yesterday I flashed the 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.51a: is not the 61 like yours and I received an update alert to 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.56. I'm at work, I'll try this evening.
I haven't updated this morning because I was downloading a previous 5.0, the EU 1.44, but when flashing I had error "cannot load firmware/system.img". So I reflashed 4.4.3... I'll try again this evening

Hi, download YotaFlasher, it permits you to download and flash firmwares in an easy way, and you don't need to know any shell command

Hello! 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 :laugh:
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.

seems that is the same for a lot of people if not everyone..
cause of this problem i am using this app gravity screen on/off.
it halves the problem cause now i have no problem for the amoled. and for problem i mean use the pwer button instead of simply swipe.
for the e-ink panel i still have to use the power button, only way it works.

I Made A Terrible Mistake!

Hello there!
So, I'm using Zenfone 5 (2G) Running on Official Lolipop
I had my phone bootlooped back in that time, then I flashed a wrong recovery version, it was KitKat version that I flashed, I got into Recovery Mode.
I tried to sideload update packages (both KitKat and Lolipop ROM) and it showed me some error like can't mount /cache (invalid arguments), I expected this as losing partition (If I'm not wrong)
And now I can't even get into droidboot at all, here is the responds from following things I do :
Recovery button combination : Works (Gets to the recovery)
Power button : Shows USB logo
Droidboot button combination : Shows manufacturer logo forever (Stuck)
But, as I said, I tried to sideload the packs and it fails...
Could someone help me? Maybe some easy way to fix this? For a note, I tried bunch of tutorials to fix my device, the last one was xFSTK thing.. I followed every single step correctly and ended up with an error.
Thanks before

Try this:
Download a flashable custom rom, put the rom *.zip file in the same folder with ADB.
Go into recovery TWRP, connect your phone to your computer.
Push rom *.zip file to your phone's internal storage with this command in ADB:
push [file.zip] /sdcard/.
Then flash that rom file with TWRP.
Well, sir, how can I get into TWRP? I can't even droidboot... My recovery that I flashed was stock
deleted.

Basicly the procedure to debrick is same. You need to load bootloader temporary since you have a broken droidboot including your partition. I already have same problem with you before.
Yeah its different, you cant use ww to fix this. Find on official zentalk tw forum for complete detail. Shakalaca post that.

Thanks a lot!
Anyway, I've got few questions left..
Yesterday, I did download zip files from this debrick thread (Should be familiar with you) http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/help/debrick-asus-zenfoen-5-fastboot-t3377455
My question is, does this work the same as your files? And, could I do something about it? Like re-use by recycle again the files I've downloaded with something that might help my phone? You know.. 900 MB is not something very small for me.. And maybe I could download separated files that is required.. And make the use of Debrick files I downloaded?
And.. May I have the link of Shakalaca's post, if you don't mind? Thanks a lot, like a lot!

Hey um, I followed the Debrick one. The problem comes when I ran Debrick.dat, from the Cloverview mode (Press vol down and connect to pc). While the Debrick program runs, the phone "boots". Shows up USB logo and it goes red. Few seconds after then, the program closes, leaves the phone on red USB logo. Is this something normal?
Btw that link can't help.

Didn't you try reboot from bootloader. If it solves, it means normal. You must thank to intel for this problem.

Hey um, I have contacted Shakalaca and until today I have not retrieved any reply. This problem haven't been solved. Any idea? I see you know a lot about this, and you're very popular arround here.
This happened with my Asus Zenfone 5 (T00j). Tried every solution available on net without sucess, finally took it to Service Center and they had to replace the motherboard
