I have : Elephone_P9000_20160628 does this have to do with it ?
and i now tried a wireless update... to 20160715 but it says, it will restart in recovery mode to do the update, but then the phone keeps hanging on the ELEPHONE logo... so i can not update the phone anymore apparently... ( so something is done to the factory settings :s but not the TWRMP )
i'm gonna try now the scatt file from my firmware build that i downloaded here : http://www.android-hilfe.de/thema/o...-p9000-p9000-lite-uebersicht-download.785193/
did not work, but now i have the original recovery back on the device, and now i can do the wireless update to 20160715 so i now have latest version of my P9000 firmware... but now... still my main question how to root it that TWRP works
Help !!! i don't use the phone untill i can install xposed framework and Xprivacy on it

Flash magisk via TWRP.

Hi.
I think my problem is unusual.
I try to install TWRP and/or root my device.
I red a few instructions in german and english.
And still nothing.
Details.
1. I have the compilation: from 2016.08.10.
2. Updater says I have new soft. I can download it 100 times. It says "downloading", then "installing" and "rebooting" but in the end nothing changes: still the same rom, still I can download and install this new soft (from 2017.1.12, 927,13 MB).
3. I can open the recovery mode. This is impossible for this device. Power+UP, Power+DOWN = doesn't matter. I see something like bootloop, but after 10-20 seconds the system is rebooting normally. No recovery.
3A. I didn't find an extra settings in "Options" which give more possibilities during turning off (for example: "restart in recovery").
As You see I can't make the backup (nesessary for me) that is why I didn't try "factory reset".
4. Instructions from Internet didn't work:
a) "MT65xx USB VCOM DRIVERS" installs some drivers but I don't have "Ports (COM&LPT) for Windows 10,
b) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": no scatter file, don't know how to make it, the file from Internet didn't help,
c) "SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1640_Win": I can't tick "recovery" and any other option,
d) "Mtk_Droid_Tool_v2.5.3": it doesn't show any informations about the device.
As You see I can nothing with my P9000.
Do You have any ideas?

oh,i forgot to mention that for the second zip file to install it,u need to have the device rooted and u can do it easy with a program called Kingo Android Root

TWRP link is down, mind passing on a new one

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

i'm using this post as a minimalistic guide for myself (so i keep it up with my "discoveries" )
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.

TWRP 2.8.5.0 YotaPhone 2 recovery image said:

*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

i already downloaded yotaflasher and the last RU firmware 5.0.0-RU1.1.99.zip
NOTE: Russian firmware seems to contain English language. i dont know how to change it later to the favorite one.
NOTE: you need to move the firmware files to the same location as the Flasher tool. Default one is C:\Program Files (x86)\yotaphone_flasher

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

yeah i've done the same.
i founded the trick i hope
after my big mistake i have done this:
*i downloaded the last 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.61a.zip then i flashed it. reminding to unzip it and put it in the right folder of the flasher. remind that this will delete ur data too prob.
*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!
please let me know if it works for u too

*i downloaded the last 4.4.3-S01-003-EU1.0.3.61a.zip then i flashed it. reminding to unzip it and put it in the right folder of the flasher. remind that this will delete ur data too prob.
*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!
please let me know if it works for u too
yeah. is exactly what i did, but super panicing like a chicken without head

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.

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.

Huawei P8 L09 bootloop after trying to root, please help

Hello all,
I needed to root my phone (P8) in order to install some applications for file recovery. I did the following:
1) I unlocked bootloader (by obtaining the key on huawei pages, going to Settings, Developer options, USB debugging, HiSuite installed to get drivers, ADB Fastboot v.1.4 installed, volume- and power on. I got to the fastboot&rescue screen where after using the command in ADB Fastboot I gained "Phone unlocked" message)
2) I installed the TWRP in the phone (thru the Spanish console)
3) I copied UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip to internal memory
4) Volume+- Power on and got to the TWRP console where I chose install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79.zip
5) everything looked fine, so I rebooted. Now I have looping logo and I am unable to unbrick the phone.
Any help please?
Thank you
Are you able to start your phone into TWRP?
Sometimes it is a little bit tricky! (hold Volumen-Up + Power, if the phone vibrates release the power button, keep holding the Volumen up button and release it if the Huawei logo disappears)
I have the same problem, and I can't get into TWRP

Hello,
Thanks for your answer. Yes, I am able to get to TWRP
Ok, what build version is on your P8 ?
Also what TWRP version did you flash ?
These answers are important.
Ps:-
If using B398 you MUST use the latest versions of TWRP and SU.
Just follow the instructions in post #1,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p8/how-to/rooting-huawei-p8-marshmallow-emui4-0-1-t3431249
TO THE LETTER, using these linked to files (TWRP and SuperSU) and, hey presto, a fully rooted P8.

Hello Sparkrite,
the version I guess (I am not 100 % sure but I remember that I upgraded over the air about two months ago) is B397 and I installed TWRP version 3.0.2-0
Before I progress any further, tell me if the combination is wrong or I can follow the link you posted.
Thank you
You have absolutely nothing to lose by downloading and flashing the versions I have linked to.
Do so and let me know how you get on.

Start again and use option "A", Rooting in systemless Mode (by maintaining the original Stock-Kernel.
Thais is the method I used on B398.
Less chance of anything going wrong............
BTW, I can't see an option "D".

Not to worry, have you done a stock update to B398 ?
And if so does the phone boot up correctly ?

You are the HERO! I am in! Although still the phone is not rooted at least it is working (which means "great to see it up and running again") :victory: :highfive:
I do not know why but Google never showed me the page you posted in its search results (maybe it is the new way of "personalizing" results) or any similar. It was always something from other regions or something which was full of ads and not really trustful.

Its always good to "resurrect" a bricked phone.
Now, if you use the TWRP and SU I previously linked to and Method A you WILL have a working and most importantly a ROOTED phone.

P9 Lite wont turn on

Hello everyone, have been a long time
I have a VNS-L21 (P9 Lite 2016) from Colombia, it worked fine but I started to get more and more ads over the time so I decided to unlock the bootloader and root it, and I did it, after almost a year of working just fine, the phone start to restart by itself with no reason around 1 or 2 days per month, they were not scheduled or something.
Last night the phone started to restart by itself again, but this time after it turned on completely it went off some minutes later and started to restart several times without reason, I got frustrated so I decided to uninstall root (thought it was the problem) but the problem was still there, turn on and after some minutes it went off and restart.
Then I decided to check for updates and it had a pending update so I chose to install it but after restart, it won’t come on and kept in an endless boot loop.
Can anyone help me and tell me what to do? Thanks in advance...

Hello,
I bet that along with the root you also had a custom recovery.
So if before you install the update you have re-flashed the stock recovery, simply hold vol + and power button until it restarts in e-recovery mode. At this point make a factory reset and wipe cache.
Reboot system, done.
If instead you have not reinstalled the stock recovery, download one for the system you use (android 6 or 7) and install it via fastboot. ( you can download a rom the same version you use and extract recovery with extractor.
There are two recovery.img in the rom, just take recovery, NOT recovery2 ).
Try to reboot with vol + and power until you turn it on,
then factory reset in custom recovery.
Reboot in fastboot mode, install stock recovery, reboot system and launch again the update.
Happy holidays and good luck

Yes, I still have the custom recovery and I was using nougat, where can I find an stock recovery for nougat? I wasn't able to use firmware finder (didn't understand how to use it).. does the recovery in rollback package works for this? just asking...
or can someone provide an stock rom compatible with my phone?

No worries dude my english is very bad too......
So, you're in nougat L21, but what is your complete firmware ? (example L21C432B504)
Then download from official THREAD Firmware Finder for PC and unzip in a folder on your desktop.
Launch FF and go to COMMON BASE tab.
Type your complete firmware into search space and click on the search button...
Find FULL OTA MF firmware, tap on FILELIST tab, a pop up will appear...
Select the whole link of ONLY update.zip and copy/past into your browser for download...
Once downloaded, unzip to a folder on your desktop.
Download Huawei Update Extractor you find here on XDA...
Launch HUE and select UPDATE.APP you find into folder you just unzipped from upadate.zip...
Now you'll see two recovery, just select recovery.img and with mouse's* right key extract somewere on your desktop...
Done dude you have stock recovery....
Copy that .img recovery into your adb/fastboot folder (very important) and reboot in fastboot mode.
If you don't have adb/fastboot just download here from XDA..
From PC with terminal launch "fastboot flash recovery
(name.of.recovery).img" and recovery will be flashed.
Now you have stock recovery and can make stock ota update correctly.
Hope all will take right way, feel free to ask.
Good luck :fingers-crossed:

Hello again
thanks for your help, your guide is really useful
One more thing (excuse me for my little knowledge about this) I don't know what's the exact firmware for my phone, I mean I know it is VNS-L21 and should end B3xx but don't know which C... (I didn't check before the cellphone started to bootloop).
I search around the web and found some recommend the C432 one so I download the update.zip from it, would it have any problem if I flash the recovery from there?
And last thing, Can I flash recovery with P9 lite Toolkit? or just through adb? thanks in advance.

Is your device branded / unbranded one ?

it's wrote at the bottom. ( maybe L23 one ? )
Try to someway backup your stuff then
reboot with vol+ and power button to recovery, tap WIPE then SWIPE to factory reset.
If boot correctly see inside wich is your complete firmware.
C432 are for european area devices, teoratically should work, but will not risk...
Recovery.img can be easily be flashed with toolkit, i used it a lot of times...

Hey dude
You really know about this, I'm sure because I updated the phone to Nougat before unlock and root it, time after an update came but I ignore it (I know it was a security updated not sure which one).
Yes, I just checked my phone in the backpart and it is L23, my bad, when you say branded it means if it is related to a phone/internet company? No, it is not tied to any company, I bought it free from internet.
I really don't care about backing up, if it starts from zero or is back to previous stage is fine for me since it can turn on and use it .
Cheers!

OK, since from first time i saw this post i thinked was a hardware problem, hope no....
You have to reboot to recovery holding vol+ and power button until a recovery will appear.
Then make a factory reset as already wrote in previous post.

Hi there
Sorry for the late reply...
I managed to turn on the phone updating it through dload method (installing stock kernel and trying to update it with erecovery didn't work) without your help I wouldn't know how to to download the right firmware for my phone. Now, my phone is working "properly".
BUT my phone show a new update, when I tried to install it, it says "your device fail verification and may not work properly" and won't install the update, after that if I reboot the phone it will show your device... sign in red letters and won't turn on without choosing continue (when I was using custom kernel, it will show some letters in orange I think, but will turn on by itself without pressing continue) when I installed the firmware through dload I didn't see that message till I try to update the phone.
Thanks in advance and a very happy new year!.

Dear forgive me, even for me English it's not my main language and maybe
i did not grab everything you posted. Did you use the dload method?
So you were on EMUI 4 / android 6, but now? If I understand correctly when you turn
on the device, see the red lines and press the power button to boot into the system?
If so, unlock again the bootloader.
If you want to post some screenshots so as to simplify ...
Best regards

Hi there
I have been so busy these days, and I'm thinking in get another phone.
The red letters are still appearing, I cant install updates and it is driving me crazy.
Yes, i did use dloaad method and it turned on but after that it doesnt install the updates neither through dload method. I'm on EMUI 5, it says the bootloader is already unlocked

Hey dude,
Don't worry about replying soon or late,
we all have our personal stuff to do in our lifes...
You' ve been lucky you don't bricked your device using dload method
on your nougat/android 7 rom version.
This is allowed only to downgrade to a precedent android version (in your case android 6/Marshmallow...)
Even it says your bootloader is unlocked, it isn't, so backup your stuff and unlock it again.
Once unlocked, factory reset will start. When finished do wipe cache too...
Booting into the system will now show yellow (not red) lines and after a bit will automatically boot.
Will take some minutes... ( prepare a coffee )
Set up your phone and look forward for updates...
If all will take right direction, new update will completely lock the bootloader
and at the reboot no yellow or red lines will appears. :fingers-crossed:
Voilà, complete stock with latest firmware.
Take your coffee and enjoy :laugh:
Best regards
P.S.: Remove or obscure the screenshot with imei codes ( it's sensitive datas )
