Hello,
I bought a Nexus 4 with the primary purpose of putting on FirefoxOS, UbuntuTouch and other systems that I consider interesting.
To make this happen I need MultiROM Manager obviously, the problem is that I live in Cuba (unfortunately) and I have no access to PlayGoogle (Error 403 from Google.com). I found it to download it (even the latest version) in goo.im but ... I dont know, I dont want to install any software that I find anywhere on the device.
Can anyone help me and recommend any "serious" site from which to download MultiROM Manager? Or some tweak to download from PlayGoogle.
Thank you very much.
Best regards.
PS: Sorry for my english, its not my primary language.
Here is the apk it`s backed up with android assistant by myself

Thank you very much, thank you. Already downloaded it and installed it, now tells me that I dont have installed MultiROM and MultiROM Recovery.
Also "doesnt have kexec-hardboot patch", I read that as meaning that I do not have a patched kernel.
Is there any way to install this without being online? Have internet in the smartphone here in Cuba is like having a nuclear submarine in our garden
Thanks for all the help, really appreciate it.
Here is a Link to the multiRom files.
You must flash the TWRP via fastboot and the other with a Custom Recovery

EDIT:
you can flash the TWRP also with Flashify

Hey, I tried that but it's for Lenovo A6000 not the plus version. i.e. it shows 1 GB RAM and 8 GB memory. Also, the system update shows update for A6000 (Kraft-A6000) not the PLUS version (Kraft-A6000-s).

Do any of your friends have a A6000 plus from where you can get a backup from ? BTW, this is the update server that Lenovo checks for OTA;
Code:
http://fus.lenovomm.com/firmware/3.1/updateservlet?action=querynewfirmware&curfirmwarever=<firmware version>&deviceid=<imei>&devicemodel=<device model>&locale=en
I've also read online that one can get stock firmwares from there also but I'm unable to do so. I don't know what I should enter for device model in case of A6000 plus. Anyone with a A6000+ can install a packet sniffer and check what url it connects while checking for OTA.
a Link for Fresh CWM backup.

You need to be on custom recovery .

I tried passing the "device model" query for lenovo A6000 and the server game me a link for a .zip file which is 1.3GB in size. I'll download it later and see if its whole firmware of just a OTA update.

Usually, OTA updates contain <oldfirmwarever>"to"<new firmware ver> in their filename.
If there is no "to", it should be a major update, not necessariliy a stock firmware but we can use it as one.
Also, the firmware of A6000+ starts with Kraft A6000-s whereas for the standard A6000, it doesn't have the "s". So, if there is an "s" and it's 1.3 GB, it most likely is a full stock update.

From the file name i can say it is the oldest firmware of A6000 that is : S032_150327.
I did not try to supply query for A6000+ because i was busy but i can definitely say it is for A6000 because i supplied the device model from my phone's build.prob file. I doubt its a firmware image because the file is inside a zip and still did not download it to look inside as i am busy but i am thinking it is an full firmware which can be flashed via stock recovery. Do not know if this can be any useful because we can always make a nandroid.
BTW, can you please share the link so that I can check myself. You can take your imei off the url, I'll use mine.
I did not supply the imei, just the device model and the xml spit out another link which i sent in your PM
@ManthanRB That ROM is for Lenovo A6000 as you also said. It's already available on various blogs including XDA. There is no stock ROM available for Lenovo A6000+.

I almost searched all over the internet and landed to a result that "Lenovo A6000 Plus STOCK ROM is currently not available any where" and as per it's a cheap device, highly knowlegeble Dev's not taking any concern about the device. So those of us who rooted the phone and unable get OTA have stuck with that for few more months or may be year.
****If u install Stock of A6000 in it, it will land you to wrong config of A6000+ and will show you config / specs of A6000 instead

The stable Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 - firmware 1.1.47 update is officially being released Over-The-Air (OTA) starting from 29 March 2017 in the afternoon, here is the announce on the YotaPhone VK page.
Moreover, the main improvements are listed in this official 4pda post by the company YotaDevices. Main changelog can be found in the attachments, but many other new features are explained in the YotaHelp app within MM.
The update will initially arrive by OTA to those with latest RU 134 firmware, later it should be available also on the FTP YotaDevices' server. In the future it will be pushed also to EU firmwares. Keep in mind that for a succesful OTA installation, the phone must be stock, with no /system partition modifications and stock recovery. Root will be lost after the update. As this is a major update, as for every Android phone a clean start is recommended (factory reset). It is not necessary, by the way, things can work fluently even without it.
Found a bug? The company YotaDevices explicitly asked to kindly send them your findings if you wish to help, let's see how.
Find out if the bug is reproducible and notice what are the phone's settings and configuration to make this bug happen;
A useful app for bug reports is this one;
Provide as much detail as you can, with your phone specifications, firmware, version, etc;
To generate bug reports, also the command adb bugreport bugreport.zip can be used while the device is attached to PC with ADB enabled;
If you can't handle native bug report funcion, just provide as much information as you can, maybe with some screenshots;
Send everything to [email protected]
As it is taking a lot of time to update due to many requests handled by their servers, unkernet uploaded the MM update 147. I will attach .torrent files in this post, one is FULL FOTA and another one is OTA from RU 134 to MM. Here there is another mirror for FULL FOTA: GDrive. These files can be pushed manually into the phone (sideloaded) with adb using stock/TWRP recovery (even if sometimes there are errors with custom recoveries such as TWRP). This procedure brings to identical results as an OTA has been installed automatically. Just go into recovery (VOL UP + POWER), select apply update from ADB, connect the phone to PC and with a command prompt opened where adb.exe and the FOTA.zip are located, type: adb devices, which should return a value, then adb sideload FOTA.zip.
How to adb sideload an update (no data loss) @hpnhannghia created a video-guide to update to latest MM build starting from latest RU Lollipop 134, using adb sideload. If you find it useful, you may thank him in this post.
BETA-PROGRAM DETAILS ARE HIDED IN THE SPOILER BELOW, AS THEY ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT.
UPDATE 20/12/16: BETA-TESTING APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTED.
As of now the LATEST OFFICIAL MM BETA is 1.1.31. Download links and instructions are in the OP. The 1.1.43 is leaked and YotaDevices said that it is UNSTABLE.
The beta-testing program for Android Marshmallow has begun! The announcement was made officialy by the user YotaDevices on 4pda.ru.
First of all I would like to thank the user @Amplificator who pointed it out here
I will translate and put the announcement below in the spoiler:
Dear friends!
On the eve of one of the most magical and wonderful festivities, our team wants to offer YotaPhone 2 users to participate in the beta testing of a new firmware for the transition to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) operating system.
You will be able to experience Android 6.0 in action with several new features, and in return we ask you to share with us your comments and suggestions. As part of the beta test on YotaPhone 2 will be sent to upgrade to Android M. But before you decide to participate, please read the instructions below.
The updates that you receive as part of the beta version, may contain errors or defects that significantly affect the operation of the device.
You can always choose from and return to stable public version of the firmware running Android 5.0 Lollipop. However, if your smartphone has already installed a beta version of Android M, then during the rollback, all user data will be deleted permanently.
Participation in the beta available to users who bought YotaPhone 2 on the territory of Russia (in the online shop or at official points). Smartphones currently RU1.1.134 firmware version must be installed.
The beta-version of the firmware on China Yotaphone2 (Model YD206) could be installed incorrectly or with errors. In this case, we are not responsible for the performance of the whole system, so we do not recommend to the users of this model to participate in the test program.
In order to examine your applications to partecipate to the program we need the following information:
IMEI ( "Settings" -> "About phone" -> "General" -> IMEI);
A screenshot of the settings in the "About phone", namely the points "firmware communication module," "kernel version" "Build Number";
Contact information (name, email address, phone number).
Please send the info above with a personal message to the representative of YD 4PDA: YotaDevices
__________end of announcement __________
SENDING FEEDBACK TO YOTA-DEVICES: If you have found a bug that just happened or you can even reproduce it, you can send bug reports here: [email protected] with the function "send bug report" which can be found the Developers option in the Settings. You have to click that function no more than 15minutes as a bug has occurred, and in the email specify as better as possible what you've done to reproduce it, and write your IMEI. [Before sending reports, a clean installation of the latest beta is advised, that is, flashing the latest FOTA and then doing data/dalvik/cache wipes.]
For general support and feature request any YotaPhone user can write to: [email protected]
UPDATE 23/12/16: FOTA OF LATEST BETA VERSION 1.1.28, TO BE INSTALLED STARTING FROM 5.0 RU .134: need to be sideloaded (adb sideload filename.zip) using stock recovery. Download here.
Credits to 4pda user kosvas
UPDATE 25/12/16: TWRP BACKUP OF BETA 6.0.1 firmware 1.1.28: Download link. Unzip it and put the folder into your personal TWRP backup folder, which name is alfanumeric (for example: 025e8b1302684091f). You can find it in your phone: TWRP/BACKUPS/*******. You already have this folder if you created a backup with TWRP in the past. If not, just enter TWRP and create a small backup (of just one partition for example), thus TWRP will create the folder you need. Inside this alfanumeric folder you will put the downloaded file.

UPDATE 29/12/16: TWRP BACKUP OF BETA 6.0.1 firmware 1.1.30: Download link see instruction above. Source and credits this 4pda post.
Moreover, here there's the OTA 1.1.30 with must be applied from 1.1.28 with stock recovery using adb sideload (you must be unrooted). For your convenience there's also a full FOTA Marshmallow 1.1.28 here which must be used from latest 4.x RU Android version. Source and credits this 4pda post.
UPDATE 10/01/17: FULL ZIP OF BETA 1.1.31: It has to be installed on stock ROM without modifications, using the stock recovery and adb sideload command. link here: FOTA MM. Source: 4pda post The incremental update (from 1.1.30 to 1.1.31) has not been uploaded by anyone, at the moment.
You can use any method you want between these two: adb sideloading the official FOTA with stock recovery OR restoring a clean TWRP backup created by beta-testers.
UPDATE 03/03/17: OTA ZIP of LEAKED 1.1.43: This OTA package has been received by mistake by one of 4pda user, Kazus48; YotaDevices replied saying that this version won't be available to beta-testers due to its instability. Nevertheless, it has been extracted and uploaded by welser. I repeat that installing this OTA is not advised by YotaDevices, do it at your own risk, as it is an internal build. You can find it here: sideload it with stock recovery above 134 Lollipop.
When the beta-program will end the official marshmallow release will be available initially by OTA to any YotaPhone2 with latest RU and EU firmware (no matter which radio or which model (YD201 or YD206).
Take a look at this post to have a brief review of the MM update and to see also some screenshots.

There is no e-mail address, you eighter make a post on that thread with the information (not suggested because you expose your IMEI), or send a private message to the user YotaDevices.
If you don't want to register to 4pda.ru, you may send me a PM here with your info and I'll send it to YotaDevices on 4pda via private message, it could be a solution. If you get involved, you will receive via OTA the beta-update.
In my case I can't partecipate because I've a YD206.
Still need to translate, I guess, but here is post about new beta 6.0.1 with link for download and instructions: 4pda - Andoid M
And here is the post with TWRP backup and with OTA version for loading through adb sideload
Now that is excellent news. Any reports yet - does it work, or is it as flawed as the Android 5.1 upgrade? I would need safetynet to pass and YotaMirror to work, plus the usual stuff (Google Play Store etc).

Hey OP could you translate this please. I think it tells us about bugs but Google translate is terrible.
Сборка предназначена исключительно для внутреннего тестирования, и имеет недоработки, связанные со вторым экраном, а именно:
1) Мало виджетов
2) Кривой YotaMirror
3) Баги с перерисовкой изображения на ВВЭ.

In post #11 the three issues concern the second screen:
1. few widgets
2.displaying "crooked" image on the EPD display when mirrored
3.buggy drawings on the EPD
nothing mentioned about battery
Oh thanks for the translate. On the 4pda thread, using google translate, it said the system was smoother and faster. Animations are very smooth no lag and that heating issues are significantly less then lollipop update and that it was suitable for everyday use.
I'm going to try update to marshmallow but I may need to install twrp or something since I get the E: Cannot load volume /misc! when sideloading but that's probably because i flashed twrp before.
Any tips on how to fix the error? I'm gonna try use yotaflasher then ota update to 1.134 then sideload marshmallow. That should work right?
i still have 5.1 and it has a few bugs like random black screen on the e-paper display, mediocre battery life and sometimes the keyboard won't type anything
Does 6.0 fix some of these?

Yes it does say that the update runs very smooth with no lag, but there are couple of things that have to be be done, before trying to flash to MM:
The phone battery should be no less then 80% charged
ROOT has to be removed, and the recovery has to be STOCK one.
that`s what it says about upgrading to MM on the 4pda site
So if I use that twrp backup will I keep root/xposed/everything I have on my phone?
but how to flash this guys? it is same as we flash lollipop frmware using yotaflasher or like somthing like recovery.. ?
im on RU1.1.134 firmware..

Yeah that's what I thought I flashed 5.0.0-RU1.1.124 using yotaflasher and downloading the 1.134 OTA now. After that I'll sideload the marshmallow update and hopefully that works. I'll post and let people here know if it works or not.

I'm not sure but i'd recommend wiping before updating considering you have root & xposed that'll probably mess with the update and might cause crashes.

The following are not my instructions. They are taken from the Russian forum at 4pda and are written by "AlexRUS72" so all credit goes to him. I just tried to help with the translation.
After you have latest RUS firmware and you have stock recovery without ROOT and battery charged to at least to 80% you do the following:
1.rename the downloaded file to "yotaphone2.zip" there is a link to the file. (You should have it if you ask how to flash it )
2.put the "yotaphone2.zip" in your working directory where Adb And Fastboot files are
3.turn off the phone
4.you power on the phone by pressing volume up+power buttons and holding it until you enter recovery
5.then connect the phone with the USB cable
6.start Minimal ADB and Fastboot
7.from the recovery menu choose "apply update from ADB"
8.on the PC type "adb sideload yotaphone2.zip" and wait.........
The process takes almost twice the time it takes to flash 5-th version! You have to watch the phone screen for errors. If you see an error that means that it`s not going to work!
And one more time: nobody will be responsible for your actions! You do everything at your own risk!

Can you provide instruction on how to disassemble the phone. Also where to order spares from. The digitiser on my Storm is cracked and Wileyfox want to charge me the price of a new phone to replace it.

Eh, sorry mate, I don't know how to disassemble the device and no one else sure as hell knows how to do it (at least on other websites). There are only reviews and unboxing experiences of the Wileyfox Storm and guides on how to flash ROMs, root and recoveries, etc. But some member will help you out, surely! If nobody seems to be knowing the issue, pm a forum moderator so that he/she can guide you to some links/methods. :fingers-crossed: Best of Luck!

Downgrade to android 6.0 marshmallow
Hello everyone, well recently my phone updated to android 7.1.1 and I didn´t like very much, so could help me and tell me if is there a way to go back to android marshmallow 6.0, just like it came when I bought it. Is it possible and does anyone know how to do it?
Okay so im trying to get lineage Os on my phone, this OS isn't working at all i get in bootloops etc. So i tried AOSP extended and i managed to get this working. But when i try to install gapps or try to flash Super su or magisk it returns error 1. The problem is in the recovery probably. So i tried to flash / boot a different TWRP version but all of the other versions give me this error: FAILED (remote: dtb not found). I would appreciate any help i can get i am hardstuck because i cant get a proper working TWRP recovery working and the only rom i am able to flash is AOX but without gapps that isnt worth much.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, what build of LineageOS are you trying to install??? If it is dated 12.07.2017 or 05.07.2017 - it won't work at all. That builds are broken. Use 28.06 or 21.06 build.
Secondly, what TWRP version do you use? I installed LOS via TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Newer version is available now.
And what bootloader version do you have on your Storm. I mean what stock ROM was installed before installing TWRP.

It seems to me, AEX is pre-rooted and comes with magisk pre-installed. When I installed that - only gapps were necessary.
Gapps need to be installed immediately after installing ROM, without any reboot.

I was using 05/07 build so that explains that. Im using TWRP 3.0.3.0 Kipper, but i can't find newe TWRP builds for the wileyfox storm, if you could give me some links that would be great. Stock rom was android 7.1 i believe and bootloader version is 'kipper-N-g2253387'. When i installed AEX via my (probably corrupt) TWRP recovery it says it also flashed Magisk but once the phone starts and i go to the magisk app it says im unrooted and so does rootchecker say. I think my biggest problem is with the TWRP recovery. If you could get me the download links of the versions your using that would be great.
Here you can get TWRP

Thanks to kligli from 4pda
Maybe the bootloader from 7.1-wileyfox is not compatible with Lineage OS.
Before flashing TWRP and LOS, I rolled back to COS 13.1.5 official Wileyfox ROM via fastboot. So I don't really know whether it is compatible or not.

So i flashed the twrp 3.1 and that works, it installs gapps now and no error with lineage OS, im gonna boot phone soon hopefully lineage will start to, i didnt know what gapps to flash but i tried the arm64 because i read it somewhere. But isn't the Storm ARM?
Use ARM64 - 7.1 - nano or pico GApps. Lineage official site said it works even without any GApps, but I have not tried that.
So I just bought a wileyfox storm few days ago and am on 7.1.1 what is the rooting method thanks.

Hi Guys
Someone of you have audio problems on whatsapp ( with integrated and bt mic ) when recording audio? ( noise and metallic audio recording )
I'm on Lineage 7.1.2 - 14.1-20180110-nightly but have same problems with previous rom
I have a problem with Lineage 14, a lot of ghost touch and problems with Nova launcher.Since I'm a stupid and didn't TWRP BEFORE installing Lineage, and since I was lucky with a "casual" driver install (as said in another post, tulip worked only after I installed a Lenovo Qualcomm drivers), in a nutshell, does somebody has "B2017GV1.2.0B13" EU stock flashable ZIP to avoid to reinstall TWRP? Maybe can someone make a backup of his stock clean B13 system with TWRP and share? Thank you very much!
Mod Edit: rude quote removed
I trust in mods, I know that IF this could be the wrong section they will move it.In the meanwhile I got a "thank you" in less that 24 hours from the post so maybe I wasn't that stupid posting here and other people are looking for the same in the same section...
Yes, your question belonged in the "Q & A" section (I moved it to the correct section).
And yes, it is rude and a violation of Forum Rules to insult other users. The currently is no rule stating you can't call yourself stupid, but there is a rule saying you can't call someone else stupid.
Before pointing out the rules to other users, make sure that you are following all the rules as well.
If there is ever any doubt about what gets posted where, or what is considered a violation of the rules, EVERY section has the rules listed at the top.

I'm not sure I correctly understand what you need - but does the zip offered on
Code:
https://www.ztemobile.de/support/downloads/?product_id=2344
when you click on "Software Update Android 7.1 Nougat B13" help you?
I'd love to do a backup myself but I currently can't get TWRP installed, sorry.

Thank you, but as said I was so randomly lucky installing TWRP -due to some driver issues- that I need someone that could make a nandroid backup with TWRP otherwise those official update files will erase my actual TWRP recovery
Anyhow, the Lineage 14 guy is allready working on lineage 15, so maybe I will whait and try the new lineage, maybe in the meanwile I will try other roms.
Actually I don't know if it's the lineage 14 problem bounded to my hardware, I had not this problem before installing it, maybe those ghost touch will remain even after flashing a nandroid backup of B13.
Anyhow if you ore someone else will install TWRP what I need it's just a nandroid backup (without you apps and you stuff, obviously, hehehe)
Thanky you.

Dear ris, I really appreciate your serch, but if you read the entire thread (4 posts) you'll find that someone else already posted the link and THAT link is to UPGRADE to B13 with the official recovery, is not a .ZIP flashable with TWRP recovery.
I think I was pretty clear in the thread title.
I just need someone with TWRP that can make a nandroid backup of a clear B13 and post it, so I can flash it back with TWRP.
Thank you for trying anyway, but it looks like I'm not able to explain myself or pople tht have Axon 7 Mini are new to TWRP and nandroid backup
In the stock thread they removed the stock recovery link since is very dangerous (?) so I can't even come back to stock AXON 7 mini with that file
Ok flashed B12 EU from other thread and the missing recovery.img (removed since dangerous) was flashed with twrp from the B13 upgrade.Than the phone was stuck at ZTE start logo, I update with SD and recovery to B13 and everything went fine, no more ghost touch, I'm afraid is due to TWRP or magisk, since now that is 100% stock I have no more problems! Wil try to root with tulip and patched boot from magisk, let's see is the problem is the root or the TWRP in European version from g&arbest so OP, you can close the thread, and thank to people who try to help!

Do you by any chance still have a copy of that update? All ZTE update sites are down. I really need to flash a stock rom and can't find one. B12 will do the trick too...
