Hello Everybody,
I bought a Yotaphone 2 model YD206 at Gearbest. The Smartphone arrived with Android KitKat, I used for some time and it was OK, but after updating to Android 5 ROM CN it started getting too hot while casual using such as Facebook, E-mail, Whatsapp.
Is that normal? I expected that it could get warm only while playing games or using GPS, but for my surprise it is getting too hot only for normal usage.
Is there anyone who get the same problem? If I change to another rom such RU or EU can solve the problem?
I already root the phone and also installed xposed together with L Speed to see if the problem persists, but it is still happening.
Thanks in advance!
Is there a chinese version of Lollipop?
Anyway, I see many people like you complaining about the phone getting hot after an upgrade. My guess is that its related to the baseband version. Since your model is YD206, are you sure you have flashed the correct chinese baseband with this so-called CN firmware (isn't it HK? Isn't it for YD201 models?)?

Yes, the model before updating was YD206 CN and after flashing to Android 5 it changed to YD201 HK 1.124d.
Is there a CN firmware running Android 5? I only found HK. Maybe this is the reason it is getting hot, the baseband / radio from these versions are different, can it be?
Yeah, I would definitely flash the YD206 baseband.
In this thread here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/guide-everything-to-yotaphone2-t3547194), there's a revamped version of the YotaFlasher attached to the first post. With this one, it is possible to select what to flash individually to the device, i.e, whether system+radio+userdata, or only system, or only radio etc. With that you can choose to flash only the radio files from YD206 firmwares.
Use this reworked YotaFlasher, download any chinese Kitkat firmware and make sure to allow to flash only the radio binaries when prompted.

Great! With this I can flash only the radio files fomr YD206 firmware. Thanks a lot!
I will do this process and reply with the results in the next hours.
Hi,
I've loved the colour screen changes but since my EPD is messed up from the 6.0 update, I havent used it at all.
I would go back to 5.x but I didnt like how hot it got with that so my best bet is to go back to 4.4
Problem now is that yotadevices' ftp is down so yotaflasher doesnt work.
Does someone have the latest 4.4.x rom so I can flash it through twrp?
Seems like Yota is cleaning the slate for Yotaphone 3. As for the firmware, download it from below and decompress it in the 'firmware' folder where the Yota Flasher is installed. Follow the instructions of the installer.
Here you go:
Yotaphone 2 Kitkat 4.4.3 HK
is this same software as in yd206 from gearbest

I can't say about that, though it's the official HK release from Yotaphone site ftp.fw.ydevices.com when it was online.
I am trying to find the 4.4.4 firmware version but I can't. Maybe it s because what you say that yotaphone are erasing the old files for the new model.Can any one help me with a link for the 4.4.4 firmware? I have a YD206 version, but I am no sure if its important.
Thanks

Kitkat remained briefly on my phone, so I did not update to 4.4.4. I hope someone might still have this lying around.
I just searched a torrent options and I found a 36GB ONE, which has dozens of firmwares for every flavor (HK, CN, RU, EUR,...), and no one has the 4.4.4. If some one have a link of the image and can upload to somewhere I would be gratefull
My firm is from HK. Why is everybody moving to the RU? It's because tis (I think) the most attented one? And the last questions.... When you move to a RU version it appears in an easy way to change it to english language?
Many thanks

Many thanks glasseffects, but there aren't any 4.4.4 furmware version there, in any world region. It seems it just desapeared from internet
That seems to be the case. I haven't encountered it either, though 4.4.3 wasn't bad either in contrast to Lollipop, which was catastrophic.
Hello to everyone.
I would kindly ask for your help.
A friend of mine has a zenphone 5. She is experiencing various problems with the playstore synching, viber synching etc and getting errors with play services.
The phone is on android Kit Kat (4.4.2 if I recall correctly).
As I am more experienced with phones, she asked to me to have a look at it and see what can be done.
I do not want to root the phone and/or install an unofficial rom (like lineage) as I will not be the one using the phone, and my friend is completely unaware of what to do in case there is a problem with the phone.
So my best thing would be to perform a backup, then wipe all data and finally update the firmware to the latest official available version.
As I never had an asus phone before (I am more experienced in rooting/updating unofficial roms etc to sony and samsung phones) I kindly ask for your help.
The phone is a zenphone 5 T00F has a WW sku. I attach a screenshot of the firmware version. I found on asus website and downloaded the latest firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.540-user.
How do I install it?
Also, I believe that there is also a lollipop official update for this phone? Where can I find it and how can I Install it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.
Hello , you want the phone to be in stock rom , right ? @madvinegar
1) update to latest kitkat version by ota updates . Latest kitkat version is 2.22.40.540
2) if you want to update to android l then after updating to latest kitkat just place the file (rom update zip ) into internal storage ( not inside any folder just in the internal storage ) . A pop up will come just tap it the update will be done .
3) But if pop up does not come then just reboot your phone once . The latest version of lollipop which you need to download is 3.24.40.87
Alternatively you can sideload the official firmware , if you know how to :laugh: just make sure you download the rom as per your device sku
stock rom official

Yes you are right. I had to scroll further down.
One odd thing happened.
As you have seen in the screenshot I uploaded in my 1st post, the SKU of the phone seems to be WW.
So I downloaded the update for WW, but when I tried to apply it, I got an error saying that the update failed. I think the reason was that the SKU found on the phone was "CUCC". How can this be...?
In any case I am downloading now the firmware update 2.22.40.540 for CUCC and I will try again. What is the difference between CUCC and WW...?
Also, I don't see that there is a lollipop update for CUCC. Can I use the SKU of another firmware? i.e. WW?

So in my case I will have to download and install first the WW 1.14 (not the CN 1.14) since my formware now is the ASUS_T00F_WW_user_1.13.40.8_20140516_17063.
Correct?

So, I finally managed to solve the problem and update the zenphone 5 to lollipop.
My problem was the recovery image which was either faulty and/or different version from the firmware. To be precise, the recovery was CUCC, while the firmware was WW.
So, to solve the problem I did the following:
1. Using fastboot, I flashed the latest recovery image from WW 2.22.40.540
2. Again using fastboot, I flashed the latest fastboot image from WW 2.22.40.540.
3. Then using ADB I flashed the latest firmware WW 2.22.40.540
So, after successfully flashing the latest kitkat firmware WW 2.22.40.540, then I downloaded the latest lollipop firmware WW 3.24.40.87, placed the zip file inside the internal storage of the phone and rebooted. After reboot, a notification was waiting for me to update to lollipop. I pressed OK to continue, the phone rebooted, installed the firmware, updated all android apps, and ... voila ... the phone rebooted to Android Lollipop 5.0
@Boomshiva I thank you very much for all your kind help and guidance.

I was trying to sideload the firmware many times, but I was getting an error.
Only after I flashed first the correct recovery image, I managed to sideload the firmware.
All is well now.
I have a Zenfone 3 Z012DE and I do not know what firmware to install, since I have seen different models in the roms and otas uploaded to the forum, I do not know how to check the correct model to which my equipment corresponds
Is possible update to Nougat?, not link for my Firmware of my model ...
Edit: ZE552KL (Asus Z012DE)
Thanks
First off, as a new user I am unable to supply you the link directly to the page but I can direct you to where you would find your update:
If you search in Google "Zenfone 3 Z012DE" (Without quotation marks obviously) then the first link should be an Asus page. Once the page opens, you will see a bunch of gallery pictures of your device, near the top right under the search bar you should see Support, click it. Then, go to Driver & Tools, select Android as your OS and a few boxes should appear. On the second box, you will see the latest Nougat update for your device (WW-14.2020.1706.53). If you notice in your screenshot, your software code starts with WW, only download firmwares that start with WW off Asus support page since those are the only ones that will work with your devices. Unfortunately, if your phone works the same way as mine, your build indicates the date 09/09/2016 which means the latest update may not work because it will refuse to update on a build that is older than 01/20/2017 (I think that's the exact date) in which case you will have to download and upgrade each version at a time until you get to the lastest firmware.
To install the updates, copy them over to an SD card from a PC or download it through your phone and make sure you know where to find it on the SD card, boot into recovery and hit update from SD card.

Flash WW_13.20.10.152 first.
After flashing, update your device to WW_14.2015.1701.8/ WW_14.2015.1701.13
After upgrading to Nougat, flash the new WW_14.2020.1706.53 firmware.
P.S: These update files can be found on ASUS' website.
Hope this helps

Good afternoon, I can install firmware ww15 (Android 8) ASUS_Z012DE?
At the moment I have the firmware WW_13.20.10.152.
Do I have to install the firmware WW_14.2015.1701.8 and then the WW_14.2020.1706.53?
Or can I move from the WW_13.20.10.152 firmware directly to WW-15.0410.1712.31 or WW-15.0410.1801.40?

EDIT: For the A2017U USA model Axon 7, the TWRP flashable B35 modem file is available here || A2017G and A2017 follow the link at my last post in this thread to the Aroma ROM thread containing those modem files.
I have Baseband Version .2.0.c1.9-00090-M8996FAAAANAZM-1 which I believe is B15
I have seen reference to a baseband version 2.0.c1.9-00104-M8996FAAAANAZM in this thread and I would like to update the baseband to this version, which I believe is B35
I've not had much luck finding a flashable modem for the USA version A2017U. I have been on LineageOS since the beginning, so I didn't get an OTA update of these files. Could someone please help me?

you can just download the b35 update.zip and get the modem file from inside (which I believe is the NON-HLOS.bin)
I must have misunderstood things. I had read about those files but I thought these were for the Chinese version of the Axon 7. The Chinese version takes the "TH" prefix at the beginning of the baseband version, right? So I need the version not prefixed by "TH"?

I'm wondering why you are meddling with the baseband codes. Just forget about them and use U modems. Simple as that...
Think about this: The updates for all 3 models come with their own modem files. if you open an U update and get the modem from inside, do you really think it will be a G modem??

That certainly makes sense, but after reading many reports of battery drain, signal loss, and other issues related to flashing modems on the Axon 7, I decided to ask for some help. Lots of these people who have had these issues are probably smarter and more experienced than I. I have bricked phones from making assumptions before.
For anyone who finds this in the future, A flashable a2017u B35 can be downloaded here. I installed it on my USA version Axon 7 and it updated the modem to baseband version TH.2.0.c1.9-00104-M8996FAAAANAZM I'll update the first post with this link.

THank You for your topic. I was throughly confused about the modem issues when I got a replacement axon 7 and wanted to simply copy my install of RR 6 over. I had no luck doing that because of the damn modem files. Since this version if the one I have on my old axon 7, this should make the rom boot now. I hope. I'm still a bit confused about the universal bootloaders Ive found, they seem to be for a certain modem version. SO which bootloader do you use with B35? What the hell is a bootstack adapter? That adds to the confusion, all the damn alternative terms used for the same thing.
