Netflix downloads - Lenovo Yoga Book Guides, News, & Discussion

Don't know if this is a result of the recent Yoga Book software update or the latest Netflix app update but you can now download movies and TV shows in Netflix.

I NEED proof of this... it certainly doesn't have this feature on mine after both updates... You're getting my hopes up...

Here you go.

Can I ask for one more request? Can you screen shot your system stats? I have a feeling mine isn't the same as yours. (blur any sensitive specs) Thanks!

For me (LTE version, latest update on board, YB1-X90L_170420), it still does not work. Sigh ...

Not sure what the sensitive details would be so here are the details. First Netflix - v5..0.1 build 16103. Now the YB. YB1-X90F, 6.01, Sec Patch 1 April 2017. Kernel 3.14.55-x86_64_gef58a03 [email protected]#1 Apr 20th. Build LenonoYB1F-X90F_S000408_170420. Soft Version YB1-90F_170420. Based in the UK.

Welp, my netflix build is different. Guess I have to wait little longer... Thanks!

Download the newest apk from apk mirror 5.01 and it works great!! I have downloads now!!

Good news found the newest APK (thanks!), bad news I get a 506-1006 error.

Edit: WORKING! MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!

How did you do that?
Today, I received the "official" update of the app to version 5.02 from the PlayStore. After installation, an incompatible device message box appeared. I had to roll back to version 4.something to make Netflix work again. Weird.
I guess, I will have to wait until downloads are going to be fixed for the YogaBook in a future version of the app.

Today, version 5.03 showed up in the PlayStore ... Still not working on my YogaBook ... Back to the old version again ... In version 4.16.1, the app menu info section download item says DRM error ... This might be the reason that downloads are not possible at the moment ... For other movie apps like Amazon Prime or Maxdome, the downloads work without problems ... So, the DRM on my YogaBook does not seem to be corrupted in general but just not be sufficient for Netflix ... to be continued ...

Well that didn't last long...
Version that allowed downloads: 5.01 16103
Today auto update from Play Store: 5.03 16160
With an ominous warning "Version 5.0 only works with devices that are certified by Google and meet all Android requirements"
When you launch Netflix it tells you this version is not compatible with your device and points you to install the apk from Netflix website - Version 4.16 and you've guessed it, doesn't allow downloads.
Manually installing 5.01 16103 restores download functionality

Confirmation: 5.0.1 also works for me ... all other versions have no downloads or do not even start ... I'll keep my eyes open and will report here about future versions ...

I'm still on 5.0.1 but the issue is if I'm truely offline it won't start Netflix. Luckily at work there's wifi so I can get netflix started then turn off wifi and watch netflix while not being connected.

After downloading 5.01, I can get downloading working fine, but now all streaming playback gives me a 201 error. Video already downloaded plays fine though. I see there is a 5.05 update, but I get the same error that Spinner got described above.

Same. I can still download new videos and watch them, but get error 2.10 when trying to stream.

latest OTA seems to bork the Netflix download and force me to sideload the older version of Netflix.

Kernel 3.14.55-x86_64_g8afcec9 [email protected]#1 Mon May 8th. Build LenonoYB1F-X90F_S000426_170508. Soft Version YB1-90F_170508 and Netflix 5.0.1 Build 16103
I get a problem playing the video 2.10 or a Loading... hang. A bit annoying.
Downloading and watching while offline work though.

There is a message saying that the device isn't Google approved. I didn't expect that for a tablet in this price range.

Installing the apk from apkmirror worked for me, BUT: I was offline for a while leading to my downloads being deactivated. After I went online again new downloads woult work giving me an error code while trying to download episodes. Error code is BRL.2303 . Can't find anything about it via Google. Anyone else experiencing this? Support can't help me. Already even factory resetted my Yoga Book but with no success.

Market Stuck @ "Downloading..."

Hi All,
I have a Tablet S running honeycomb 3.2.1 update, stock rom. I've associated my google account and while some apps will install/update via google play - many will not. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to root/whatever like I normally would with a device I own myself (this is a work unit).
I've tried clearing market/download data/cache many times, reboot many times. Even gave up for a week and came back to it - same deal.
Can anyone shed some light on why this thing is being so difficult??!!?
FYI ICS update not avail for me yet.
Did you login to google talk? if not try logging and retry
I had the same issue. Had to wait for the market to to updated for it to start working again.
Market is currently on latest version, no good. I can uninstall updates back to "android market" but that doesn't work either.
Google talk is all signed in and fine - that's not the problem as I can download *some* apps. If signin weren't working nothing would d/l.
M.
So you are not able to root this tablet because your boss have given you a device to work with or was it a gift and now you can keep the tab ?.
If som i should not wait any longer to root this tab, and install the inverted app from condi's AiO tool, this will reïnstall the play app, and probaly also the bug,
Even if its a work device, you could simply follow all the steps with rescue-backdoor etc in HC and then automaticly download ICS (UK) version,
Once you downloaded the ICS update you could simply get the unrooted version again by installing without following the steps for prerooting the signed zip.
on a later point, everyone will get ICS on their tabs, so no-one will notice right,?
Maby this info doesn't helped you out att all, but i think this is quite handy
Succes!,
Its been supplied to us by sony to promote stuff in store. Its still the property of sony ... So I'm not going to mess with rooting
Still haven't found a solution to the market, but I don't need it as much now. Was trying to get some wmv files working in something other than stock video player and market was being a pain not downloading things. Ended up getting mxplayer installed and just gave up on market and transcoded all the movie files. Not the best solution, but it works.

Allright that says enough xD but then like Cat McGowan said, if you work at such a company why wouldn't you send it back by your self?. from what i understand you are working at a company thats regonized as a sony dealer am i right?, because your problem is a system thing, nothing that you can do about it, ( On a normal way )
It's surely just a software thing though, seems pointless sending it back for that. I did get my other video issue sorted so I don't really *need* market any more, and it got announced today that we should get ICS tomorrow (short notice, huh?!).
M.
Yép that will probaly fix your problem and after you installed ICS try to do a factory reset this is recommend so your old settings are clean again. Cache etc.
Good luck.!
Hi guys.
I had similar problem after updating from gingerbread to ice. After trying all tweaks nothing worked. Flashed again and nothing happened
However, disabling download from unknown source solved the problem.
My advice would be that when flashing a new rom without using external ed card, remove it before flashing. After flashing, disable download from unknown source. Try going to google play and update or download something. Once it worked, restart your phone and you can enable download from unknown source back.
I tried this twice and saw that it worked perfectly.

[Q] YouTube Not Working After Upgrade

Hello All,
I have an old Samsung I-997 Infuse, running 2.2 Froyo, and rooted.
After installing the latest YouTube version, my YouTube no longer works...I'm guessing because of an incompatibility with the old Froyo version. When I try to view any YouTube, from the app. or even from the web, I get a simple announcement which states "An Error Occurred"
I've tried the normal uninstall, reinstall...which has not helped
Anybody else had this problem?
Is there a way to install an older version of YouTube?
Thanks for the help!
Anybody know where I can download an older version of You Tube apk?
Thanks...still cant get my youtube working
I think it's an issue in a lot of tablets... Youtube is unable to play videos and give an error message... You just need to reset Youtube in your tablet to factory default.
actually, it's a phone...Don't really want to unroot and take it back to stock. I did find a website with lots of older versions of .apk's, I just dont know how to get them on my phone once I download them from my computer

Mini M8S TV Box Review - Amlogic S905, 2GB Ram, Android 5.1

The Mini M8S TV Box is a new budget box running Android 5.1 with the Amlogic S905 and 2GB of Ram.
Review:
Mod Edit: Link leading to affiliate sales links removed
Hello,
it coming with root or how it can be rooted?
Thank you.
The Mini M8S is very intriguing. SD card, Bluetooth, and 2 GB RAM. Just need to find it from a reputable retailer online, since I'm probably going to stay away from Gearbest. Would like to know if this box can be wiped and installed with a vanilla Android OS. Would like to start from scratch and not be running any of their pre-installed junk.
Also kind of a bummer this doesn't do 5G wifi. I would think that all the newer boxes would include it. It's got everything else I'm looking for in a budget Kodi box.

According to the review, it's already rooted. I think the question is whether or not it can be flashed with a different ROM. Hopefully there's a guide out soon. Would love to get vanilla Android on it. (just ordered one off Gearbest)
hello, the seller said that it is ...

Question:
Is this unlocked i.e rooted? I came across many apps that say not supported by this device in the play store. Is this where I should or could side load them by merely downloading the .apk myself ?

Hello Brown,
Thank you for your inquiry,it is unlocked but not rooted.You can download the app in the media center like kodi.Have a nice day.
Got mine yesterday from gearbest. It was rooted and I must say I'm very impressed. Very fast and played everything I've tried with no buffering and perfect picture. Very happy

Hi, can you tell me if this boots when powered or do you have to turn it on with the remote? Thanks.

It's powered up as soon as I plugged in the cable
Hello, I also I got one. Well done, compact, without lags. The device is root. Only small usb ports and little available RAM. I personally use a Nova launcher and combined small keyboard with touch.
Best Regards.

Hi to all. Does anyone know how to reflash the rom in case we need to do so? The device is rooted. A bad apk may cause harm. Where can we find the rom to reflash if this happens?
I've also got e of these but is giving me problems with failed updates and random reboots. Could do with reflashing to see if this solves the problem but I have no idea as to where to get the files from for this device. Anyone know?
Or is there a different firmware I can try?
Cheers

Question:
Where can I download firmware updates?
Reply::
Hello Bryan,
Please kindly send us e-mail to http://www.gearbest.com/about/contact-us.html. Then we will contact our supplier to ask for the update firmware.
This box is very nice, here are some details:
There is a small hole underneath for the reset button; you can use a toothpick to hold the button while you insert the power. This will give you access to recovery.
Looking at traffic flow I can see it connects to fota4.adups.cn to determine if there is a new update and downloads the updates from: hwfotadown.mayitek.com
Here is the latest patch as of this writing:
http://hwfotadown.mayitek.com/ota/r...04011829-LMY47V-2016041117331460428050687.zip
At this time I am unable to find a full firmware IMG file that I could use with the "USB Burning Tool" (The ultimate recovery, if things go bad)
For me there is no OTA update (says i have the latest), device comes with firmware from 28 of March, It is working fine though.
I installed Selinux mode changer to make Selinux permissive and after reboot the device was unresponsive. I tried the reset procedure as described by tpcip6 above and after a factory restore the device restored the rom perfectly. All apps were there despite the fact that i had uninstalled a couple of them. I was surprised. How could this happen? Is there a hidden recovery partition or something? Anyway i was happy that the box was fully functional again.

I'm getting the same problem. Other people have mentioned that there's an update by my OTA is saying it's up to date even though i have the March version. Even the screenshots from @fireman_vt show an April update.
Thanks to @tcpip6 i've downloaded the new update.
Also, i'm having an issue with Kodi and SPMC where any 5.1 file i play with passthrough enabled causes audio drops every few seconds (i'm using HDMI). Hopefully the updated can help with this issue.

I am still at work so haven't had a chance. I hope it's as simple as booting into recovery and flashing? Will try an OTA just before in case.

Dont think you need recovery, just copy the file to root of sdcard and then in the update app choose offline.
Maybe they removed the update because of issues like the disappearing of google play store?

problem with my new (second handed) nokia 7.1

I've got a nokia 7.1 and setting up now. I have three problems.
I cannot install netflix. It does not appear from the google play store. If I install it manually, only showed a message 'this phone is not supported.' what will be the problem?
I cannot use google pay. I can load the information of my credit card. When I try to authenticate the card for the actual use, it fails. The app says, this phone is unlocked or changed and for the security reason, the use of google pay is restricted. But in my knowledge, my phone is in mint condition.
It is android 9. with security patch for 1Aug2018. I found from your website that it is not the latest update so I tried to update but, the system update says this is the latest version.
I'd like to fix at least the security update problem. It is annoying to keep it August.
Any solutions?
Is there any way to install the security update manually?
Are you running the standard ROM? Sounds like you might be rooted and running a custom ROM.
I have also some problems on my phone nokia 7.1 TA-1085, when i opened the camera it says camera keeps stopping. My youtube, torch light and camera wont work. Some months ago it worked automatically and stoped working few days. It happende 2 times. Now its not. I did many things like clear storage, forced to stop still not.So today I updated android 10 still not. Any solution ? Please;

Are you bootloader unlocked? Netflix will not install if the phone is bootloader unlocked.
You can manually install the security patch OTAs. Go to the OTA DLL thread ...skip to page 6/7. Download the .zip package for the each monthly update and put them on an SD Card. Reboot to recovery and select "apply update from SD."
I'm on mobile so I can't link right now.

Question I can't upgrade to Android 12, or even to the latest version of Android 11.

I have to admit, I'm pretty confused and a bit tired... nothing is working for me as in other phones and I can't seem to find any reliable info how to tackle my problems :/
I have the RMX2202 model in the 8/128 GB version.
My end goal is to have Android 12 and from what I read, I need the latest Android 11 update first for that. Only, the system shows me that the version I have (RMX2202_11_A.13) is already the latest, and from what I look on the internet, A.16 is already available.
I even downloaded a zip with both the OS version A.16 and the Android 12 beta, but when I try to install either of them, it shows me "Verification failed. Package incompatible with your system."
I also tried booting the phone in safe mode, because I saw that people on YT had an option to install from a file there.... but I don't have it. I can only do Wipe, or Reboot.
Please help :c
PS.: This phone is from a major chain store in Poland, so I'm assuming it is the Global version.
Welcome to XDA
Consider yourself lucky.
Android 11 and 12 are a mess.
Android 10 is still relatively functional and usable.
Rule #1 - If your device firmware is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
Thank you for the welcoming msg
But just one thing, I said that I have RMX2202_11_A.13 on my phone right now, so I'm already on the Android 11, but just not on the latest update of it.
And I understand your point, but I'd still want to try Android 12, and even root this phone in the future.
I appreciate your warnings, but these are my needs right now and I'd very much like to know how and if I can do it at all on this phone
Android 12 beta was only for firmware a09.
Have the exact same issues! Can't do anything, I think it might be that I choose to unlock the bootloader via dev option but not sure, have you done that as well? I cant boot in to real recovery (only have the same option as you mentioned, wipe,reboot,turn of)
Can someone help us or point us in the right direction on how we can at least sideload an update somehow? No root, stock ROM.

Here's what I done.
Installed the VPN below
LineCN - VPN to visit China - Apps on Google Play
A VPN Application for Chinese to visit China
play.google.com
Run the VPN
Run software update. Now a blue button should appear. Click on it.
Download and pray for the gods.

It works for me! I needed to put the slider back from "unlock bootloader" and restart the phone then I got it! Thank you very much!
Hello,
I have the exact same issue, I am stuck in RMX2202_11_A.13
I tried VPN, I tried re-enabling all user-disabled apps but nothing seems to work.
I have a global phone with global rom but I would like to get at least some update.
The update by VPN worked for me but I still dont have the Normal recovery, only partial. The is a bit weird to me.
