First off, I am not the creator of any of the resources listed below. All thanks should go towards: Dark Forces Team, WindowsPhoneHacker, and the many others who created these tools. Be sure to thank everyone whose tool/website/ROM you used by buying them a drink. Also, I am not responsible for any damage/bricking/etc that may occur as you attempt to modify your phone.
To address the the absence of OS version 7.10.7720.68, I would like to note that OS version 7.10.7720.68 is the original Mango update provided by Microsoft. Since then, Microsoft has continually updated the OS with minor tweaks (think: service packs) for Windows Phone. Though Samsung (or AT&T or whoever) has not provided these minor updates OTA, ROM developers for the Samsung Focus can bake them into their ROMs. Thus, any ROM with a version number higher than 7720.68 will contain all of the features you request (and more). More information as to the features added/fixed in the OS updates are given at the following link.
(link 1)windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/basics/update-history
Now, the easiest place to start the rooting process is by visiting WindowsPhoneHacker's YouTube channel. There is a tutorial available (see the following link) that walks you through the whole process. I strongly suggest you watch the video several times to get a good idea as to the process required. Be sure to like the YouTube video if you find it helpful (trust me, you will).
(link 2)youtu.be/0dSTahZY4mI
I also suggest reading the more detailed information provide by WindowsPhoneHacker (see link below). The link takes you to the "Jailbreak" portion of the website which gives useful information on how to root and install custom ROMs. Read the source and the referenced sources three times or more before you even think about rooting your device.
(link 3)windowsphonehacker.com/articles/the_complete_guide_to_jailbreaking_windows_phone_7_and_7.5-09-24-11
At this point, you should be ready to root. Give it a shot. Be patient, stay calm, and good luck!
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).
First impressions: seems very fast and smooth :good:

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!
Hi everyone,
First of all, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of you who have been participating in our beta program. It's been a huge success. By sending in your feedback, bug reports, and general thoughts, you've made OxygenOS even better, and we're making improvements faster than ever before. Today, we have a particularly exciting announcement: Open Beta 3– built on Android Nougat 7.1.1 - is available now for the OnePlus 3T. (Note: Link to the OnePlus 3 post*here)
Key updates in this build:
Upgraded to Android 7.1.1

Please visit the download page here:
http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3t/oneplus_3t_oxygenos_openbeta_3/
If you’ve already flashed a previous Open Beta build, you will receive this update via OTA. If you haven’t, you will need to flash this build by ADB sideload. Your data may transfer, but there is always a possibility of losing personal data, so be sure to backup all of your important data before flashing this build. As stated before, once you flash the Open Beta, you’ll continue getting Open Beta OTAs.
Please follow the link below for the UI/UX experience survey. We’d really appreciate a few minutes of your time, as it will help us make OxygenOS even better. One last thing: this is a limited program, so we may disable this download link once we receive enough feedback.
- Feedback on UI/UX:*https://goo.gl/forms/rj3OMW2eywKGoNfI2
Note: If you flash this Open Beta build, you’ll receive Open Beta OTAs (but not official OTAs). You’ll need to manually (clean) flash back to our official builds to continue receiving official OTAs. Rolling back to official OxygenOS versions require wiping data and cache.
Thank you for your patience and as always, we look forward to hearing your continued feedback in the bug reporting forum here:*https://forums.oneplus.net/feedback/.
Thank you for helping us build a better OxygenOS.
Never settle.

Hi, I know this forum must see alot of demands, but it seems that google has way more.
But even after trying google alot, I can't find my respons.
Is there a way to unroot Crosscall Core X4 at the moment ?
Thanks and best regards
Hi !
For now it doesn't seems no. And to be realistic, chances are that we will never get it.
This phone is not sold as much as others, and so the chances that someone who have the skills to root it with fiability, and who can his method, buy it are quite low. But we can still hope for it and if it happens, here is probably a good spot to wait.
Have a good day,
Tanc
Hi Tanki,
(French here too)
Thanks alot for your reply, it just confirms me that's impossible right now.
If I have some hours in my day, I'll try to developp something
Anyway, have a good day too !

Just an update, bootloader unlocked, still trying to root.
Hello,
Have you rooted your phone ?
If not, you can with this process :
- Flash GSI userdebug.
- Disable verity
- wip userdata/metadata and reboot
- Pull the boot (adb pull dev/block/...)
- Push the boot into the magisk app.
- Flash the new boot.
- Restore the original system partition.
For your information this lineage version work fine on the X4, some releases are pre-rooted.
Get version with Vmdklite, and probably non ab.
