YouTube app Bug

Hi peeps. I got my P8000 on Thursday and all is going well, apart from now having an ancient version of the YouTube app and I am unable to upgrade it.
Before I updated to the latest stock rom version using OTA I did have the latest version of YouTube.
My phone isn't rooted and I am not planning to root it because my banking and sky go apps will not work then.
If someone has a solution (I'm not expecting one without needing root access and manually changing it in the system) then great. I'm more interested in finding out if other newest stock ROM users have the same issue.

I dont want to promote my rom here, but i simply can't recommend to use the official firmware from elephone. And as you said, you don't need root because of the banking apps, i really would like to recommend my ROM (NEXUS) V2.5 which i (hopefully) release in the next days. There you will be able to install the ROM without root.

I also got the same issue after updating, please advice if you get it fixed

There's some advice being offered on the following page http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9880-1-1.html#.VuBhmPmLS00.
What worked for me was clearing the apps data, force stopping it and then powering my phone off and back on. It is still the older version of Youtube but it does work.

Just root your phone, download System Remover, Delete the youtube app, and download it again from playstore. It downloads the latest version. Enjoy

this could work
1. settings / apps / all apps
and deactivate the 3rd youtube app from the ota .
2. settings/ apps / all apps / youtube / wipe cache and data
3. root and delete the youtube app, download it again form palystore
4. remove your google account / reboot / and set it up again

I too am having issues with youtube but on my p6000 pro
since the last OTA youtube is about 4 years out of date. It also has permissions to download app and delete other apps.
My phones keeps downloading Apus and DU Battery Saver in the background without my permission. Everytime i use chrome. I get popups to bad sites.
I can no longer get root access or change roms now.
I brought these issue up on the elephone forum and i got banned for it...

I'm also having trouble since updating. I'm getting extra browser panes asking for my phone number or downloading unwanted apks when I follow links from my mail. I'm wondering if the YouTube app is involved based on a link which I cannot post, being a new user. Disabling YouTube gives me non-stop "Unfortunately YouTube has stopped working messages". Haven't got round to using adb yet.

I flashed a new DCU ROM using sp tool. Had to get rid of that malware filled elephone stock ROM.

I too am having these problems as listed above. My problem is, I haven't a clue about how I got about fixing these as I'm quite new to this "developer world" for want of a better phrase. I understand the need to root but can anyone point me in the right direction for a how-to guide on rooting and installing custom ROMs, preferably not needing a PC please?
Would be much appreciated.

Which phone do you have ?

Hi CagedStevo,
Sucks doesn't it? The good news is my phone is now better than ever though, having installed the Eragon ROM. I've not tried any others so can't say how they compare but this one seems cool and has lots of nice features such as adaway.
I followed the instructions in the "Elephone P8000" -> "P8000 Android Development" -> "[ROM] 06/03 Eragon v 9.5| Android 5.1 20160217 |Google / AOSP |OTA Hub| Mods" thread and they were pretty straightforward. Under "DOWNLOAD" on the first post, click the "CLICK TO SHOW CONTENT" button and follow the "Guideline of / How to Root / Flashtools and MTK Drivers" link. Here are a couple of notes you may find useful from my experience.
You don't need Win 8 or Win 10. I used an old Vista laptop and so didn't have to faff about enabling unsigned drivers, I just had to OK some warnings.
I couldn't flash any of the custom recoveries until after doing a full factory reset on my phone. Before that it appeared to have worked but when I selected Recovery from the boot loader there was nothing there. That was a shame as I wanted to root the phone and save some app data. After I reset the phone it worked fine, I used Philz v2.
If you need to reset the phone because it is hanging (this is what happened to me when it found no custom recovery), then hold Vol+ and Power together for a few seconds.
Good luck!

Hi skeleton1911,
Yes that's the one I followed, linked from the ROM thread. It was very helpful. Thanks

To everyone, thank you. I'll have a look into it and see if I can get it sorted, although I don't actually have a working PC atm (power supply died) so hopefully, I can get around this.
Cheers guys

Downloaded and installed SuperSU but it's saying no binary detected. Is this needed?
(Apologies, I really have no idea with any of this techy stuff)
EDIT: Installed Flashify, told no ROOT/Superuser access, damn that OTA update.

No more visual voicemail (voicemail tab) with com.android.dialer version 11

So since some days i don't have it anymore and i didn't change anything with my flashing method
1> firmware 5.1.3 or OB 12
2> rom (tried AEX, Liquid, Carbon, Havoc, any AOSP)
3> gapps (pico version)
4> magisk
5> noverity
I'm stuck and i don't understand why it doesn't appear.

I noticed this too not sure WTF happen but possible is something related to Google update something did you flash Google Dialer Framework?

Well, no.
But i'll give it a try and tell you.
At the same time opengapps haven't been updated since 5th July ... maybe that's the cause.
EDIT: still doesn't displays.
Will follow "unbrick" guide and make my phone full stock and see if it changes something.

The thing is i had it before, but since some clean flashes, not anymore.

Successfully update to Android 10 beta with magisk installed but now I am without TWRP. Tried flash TWRP with adb but it reboot to bootloader every time. Maybe TWRP must be updated for Android.

This is failing for me. Gets to 2% then fails. I'm on Rooted 128 GB Tecent with WW ROM, fingerprint is changed to WW.

If you're rooted then you probably need to flash it manually.

Step for update without lost root sir?

If you are rooted on latest Android 9 you need to go in magisk, press uninstall and restore images. Then you can apply the beta 10 ota. For root flash on adb the modified boot image from op

Does anyone have the Android 10 beta full RAW firmware ???
Hello, if anyone has access to the full Android 10 beta RAW firmware, please share it with us. Thanks !!!

Wow it's amazing. The red tint gone and it's way too smooth

It seems this has also broken the ability to enable VoLTE (*#*#4636*#*#) greys out the options but they do show up in the Settings menus. So not sure what that means?
EDIT: Ignore, its because the profile set in PDC was reset as someone else has pointed out. I JUST got VOLTE to work again after working with AT&T to get a provisioning error resolved (this was on their end, but probably because I was swapping SIMs between phones for testing)
Im going to let this settle a little bit before I try upgrading again to this (I downgraded back to 9 in fear that VOLTE wasnt going to work again)

Stuck on 11.0.5.0 / what's the best I can do?

Hi, so I've been using this device for over a year now (got it in June 2018 I think) and it just doesn't work well anymore, Chrome freezes a lot, system isn't smooth in general, Facebook's Messenger doesn't notify me a lot of the times. I can't update to the newest version, I am currently sitting on 11.0.5.0 and it says I am up to date with everything which is clearly not true. What's the best I can do right now? Upgrade to 11.0.9.0 manually, install custom ROM or downgrade to version that actually works properly?
Thanks in advance.

Question Installing Android 13 Beta 3

Hi there, I've got a X80Pro Origin and I'm trying to install the Beta, but following this thread:
https://dev.vivo.com.cn/documentCenter/doc/596
using Google Translator nothing happened.
Downloaded the PD2185_A_13.0.3.2.W10.V000L1-update-full.zip , put it to the Main Directory of the device and while using "Locale Update" no file will be found.
Is "internal Storage" the wrong directory, do I have to put it in another Directory?

No.. Internal storage is fine. That is the root directory. But it should work from download directory as well.

If I install beta, will phone be updated to stable version, when it will be released?

Yes, but it will be clean install.

After installing beta 3, is there an update via OTA to a newer beta?
i can't understand why there is no new version for the chinese market.

The update to the beta went without a reset. I came from the latest test update for OriginOS12.
But then I had to do a reset because something hung up and the phone got very warm and the deep sleep didn't work.
Now everything works and the beta runs really well.
