    Post YOTA 3+ FIRMWARE news

    Is it the same TWRP image, intended for Yota 3? I flashed my Yota 3 with the Yota 3+ firmware and tried to boot the TWRP image: fastboot boot rec.img but it failed to boot and the default recovery fails too with "No command" error.

    Post R06 Release Soon [YOTA3 CUSTOM R05] with google apps and no root

    It's caused by the "Smart background management", it's too aggressive and cleans up all background apps after the screen has been off for 5 minutes.

    Post YOTA3 full firmware and ROOT for Magisk

    I used the rooted boot.img from gor516don and installed Open GApps on top of it. All GApps work fine. Facebook is crashing when I try to post, but this doesn't bother me too much.

    Post YOTA3 full firmware and ROOT for Magisk

    I found another way around: Restored the factory image. Set a PIN code. Installed the patched boot img again. Now the phone is unlocked and I have root. Thank you for the instructions and the img file! Do you know if it is possible to install custom recovery?

    I updated yesterday. Pros: - the buttons on the e-ink screen now work when you are mirroring the display; - Kindle for the e-ink screen is newer version (I am not sure that it was not updated as part of some previous update).

    Post Yota apps on Hisense A2

    They actually are - I have a Yotaphone 2 and it's running Android 6.0.1. I've seen some pictures of HiSense A2 and the widgets (or whatever they are) on the eInk screen look horrible.
