Yotaphone 2 YD206 in Bootloop after update

Hello,
i have a problem with my 1 week old yotaphone and hope you guys can help me to solve.
Let me say, this is my first android device. After a long time using iphones i saw this 2-displays concept and wanted to give it a try.
But now my problem and the way to:
The phone was brand new and first of all i charged it for a wohle night.
After that i put in the sim-card and started the phone and walked through the start-procedure with WLAN, Googleaccount etc.
Then the phone told me about an update and i started it over WLAN.
The phone was downloading, rebooting and shows me a white window "updating x of 127(?) Apps".
Somewhere in the middel the phone rebooted again and now its in a bootloop.
What is possible with the phone right now.
I can start the phone wit the bootloop (powerred byAndroid, then restart)
I can use "Power + Vol-" to bring it into downloading mode
When i use "Power + Vol+" nothing happend.
When i use "Vol+ + Vol-" nothing happend.
The akku of the phone is empty now and it only works with usb or power unit connected.
In bootloop or downloading mode it is not charging.
What i tried.
What i try:
I read many topics with bricked / bootlooped yotphones and how to flash or cache whipping.
i connected the phone to my pc and used yotoflasher with many different firmwares.
I used fastboot:
- flashed the system.ing with differnet sizes.
- tried different custom recovery.img from different threads here and from other sites.
Even a complete new image, moddified RU img doesn`t help.
The phone stays in bootloop.
Yes, it`s a warranty case, but before i start to strech my nerves by handling with the dealer and shipping
this phone back to china i will try everything else and hope you can help me out of this situation.
Thanks a lot

If your phone displays Downloading... and fastboot keeps saying waiting for device then there is something wrong with the installed ADB driver. Check some of the posts in this forum like this one on how to fix this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/help/yotaphone-2-yd-206-china-flash-firmware-t3306797/post69311402#post69311402

Strange that you had an OTA (Over The Air update). You didn't do anything between the SIM/Google registration and OTA ?
Normally there are no OTAs allowed on yd206 phones bought from China/HK , where did you buy it ? Chinese retailers have their own firmware that they put on phones , for me , maybe you had bad firmware installed.
The warranty of your phone is voided if you flash yotaphones bought from China and HK .
When you use yotaflasher do you get error message or "waiting for device" ?
To flash the Yotaphone , it should be in developer mode , but you couldn't put it in this mode because it first did the OTA that started your bootloop. Android apps are updated like that ("installing x of 127") when it gets updated to lollipop. Normally the OTA should have worked OK. Did you allow enough time at the Yotaphone logo after the first reboot ? It stays on this logo for 5 minutes before starting. I made this mistake.
The OTA started just after you set up Google etc ?
If so, normal yotaflashing will never work, but at least you havent broken the warranty . The thing we need to know is what exactly happened when you tried to flash , what errors messages appeared ?
If you did not put the phone in developer mode, then you cannot easily flash the phone, so your best possibility is to return the phone. Normally you can contact the seller by chat or email . Some are very good in exchanging.
It IS possible to flash your phone using fastboot, but I would not personally attempt it and you would lose your warranty . You need rootkits, SDK toolkits, universal drivers and images. Google "bootloop without USB debugging".
When I flashed my yd206 , (after many attempts) I flashed my yd206 to yd201 Russian KitKat ROM first and then did an OTA to lollipop.

Getting package info failed on the erecovery.

So this phone is basically brand new about 4 days old and then it just turned off on me. when I booted it up it went into the emui huawei erecovery. I go into download latest version and recovery and connect to my wifi
it loads for a bit and comes back saying 'getting package info failed'. Honestly I'm pretty novice about everything like this so any help would be appreciated. I am planning on returning it to the store in the coming days but I do not have a warranty.

What's that? Sorrry but I really dont know much about this

fastboot is a method used where you connect your phone to a PC to flash custom recoverys etc.
The eRecovery has never managed to download anything for me, always failed.
How is the phone 4 days old but you have no warrenty?

Make a factory reset

I have got the same problem. My pin from phone just stopped working, so I went to erecovery mode. It says getting package info failed. I do not really know what to do. Fastboot works.

Hi. How do you do a fast boot? My phone is stuck on erecovery and i cant get out. I did an update and it went to erecovery, package download failed, only options then is shutdown and reboot. Please help.

Lol how do you do a fastboot? Bro, I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh but I do because I've been kinda there and done kinda that. People here, I KNOW, are more than willing to help you but you've gotta come with at least the most basic knowledge. None of us were born knowing, but just research a little, and before long you'll get the ropes believe me it's not hard.
I hope THIS just helped.

Hi i have a honor 8 lite bricked, tried emui .8.0 chinese rom, it worked but when I tried getting back to stock, it was bricked.
Couldnt go to my twrp recovery,
fastboot fails with remote: command not allowed.
flashing recovery using fastboot fails with partition length gets error.
the only thing I could do is huawei e recovery which is failing with getting package info failed.
In fastboot, I could lock and unlock bootloader, please help

you have to use sth like "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk xxx.img
google this.
As long as fastboot is running you are NOT lost at all

nokia 6 dead

hello
i got a problem with my nokia 6 im hoping someone here is able and willing to help me with.
The phone started doing a system update, but went dead and afterwards it just says that the phone has ever been rooted and that may lead to security risks and malware and instability or something like that. the phone wont even enter the revocery mode or anything, just keeps flashing the same text.
Looking forward to any help offered. since i dont know much about this kind of things id appreciate a thorough and simply put guide on how to fix it.

I reckon it's the same security patch that messed up my phone. What device do you have TA-10?? It's on the back of the device at the bottom. What version of android were you running?

Hold down power and volume up until the device powers off. Now, plug the phone into your PC while holding voldown and pwr. It should now say "Download mode" in the bottom right. You can now flash MENA firmware with ost 6.0.4
Let me know if the problem persists.

thank you for answering. the phone is always shut off so i cant do the first step. Neither will the phone go to download mode, simpli says the root stuff again. Only time it does something else is when trying to do a hard reset, then it will also say shutdown device: under the root stuff.

When turned off, open OST and connect your phone when it tells you to do so. It will boot into download mode automatically. (Mine did, so I assume yours will do the same)

Can you go into recovery? Grab the dec 2017 update and Flash it from there. This is for downgrading some mechanics that changed with Android Oreo. OST should work again. For more detail, you can look around the many threads and answers on xda.

Boot to download mode by pressing volume down and power button continuously when phone is off.
Download OST 6.0.4 and flash nb0 firmware.
It'll only work if you're max on Dec update.. if later then that than first flash ota from recovery to downgrade bootloader.

Bricked phone

Hey XDA Community,
So recently i was formatting my phone through TWRP, using exFAT, but the command kept continuing for an hour, and it wouldn't stopped so I force turned off my s7 edge. And then it came up with some problems. Firstly: My phone when I started it kept stuck on the twrp logo, and kept getting really hot. After a day of trying and hoping that it would work again, the screen changed. Instead of the TWRP logo, I got the error message: An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC Software. So I tried, and the drivers didn't work but after two hours of trying I finally got it to work. And I had another problem when I tried to use the emergency recovery function, I don't have the serial number anymore. Is there anything you suggest doing me? Already thanks.

Got the same problem months ago by an upgrade from oreo to pie. Nothing worked except "fastboot reboot bootloader" from terminal followed by pluged in the phone.
It was not possible for me to do more things. Could not solve the problem until I get an EDL-cable. Then found out that the upgrade had damaged the bootloader. Could then flash it with the latest OST, the EDL-cable and the 7.1 Rom.

There are a bunch of instructions how to use the Cable in the right order.
It is important that the driver in Windows is the right one. Most of the time (in mine device) the EDL-mode was detected incorrectly and the driver has to be changed manually.
It's been a while, so I do not remember all the steps. I'm sorry. I've searched the Nokia 5 and 6 Forums. That should answer most of the questions. The rest was try and error.
Good Luck
