Version should be G2H, but last few months there is "updated" version with s501 chip, this one is G2HS.

So... you have to check which version is your gf lhone

There is LeWa for the phone.

Or choose ROM from needrom

There is a custom rom made on 4pda.ru, which is all-in-one for all versions (L/LS/LH/D/DH/DS), which can be downloaded from yadi"dot"sk/d/8C9cANxo48q1g

New rom?

Hey Supra,

What Rom do you recommend after the update I did as per your instructions....

The build I installed was G2H 20121214-152201 - what do you recommend better than this one?

The two things that are an issue with this are front camera didnt work and there was constant clicking when you put headphones in...

Thanks for your efforts on the thread...absolutely brilliant
[Android General] Supracer:
If you are looking for ics Tom's I recommend you use baidu roms from bbs.ejiayu.com. if you want a perfect jb rom go to needrom.com then click on hiatus then click on the side g2 plus then download unimod rom which is to me perfect..... currently I'm using s3 ui rom jb 4.1.2 which has no problems after a week use.....

I had this problem aswell with the front camera so I flashed the official 4.1.2 rom and back to official 4.0.4 rom using flashtool. I recommend you download most roms from needrom.com

[Android General] salmanc:
Rom Recommendaton

Thanks Supra:good::good:

After you flashed the official 4.0.4, did the camera start working after you put another rom on like a baidu one or other? Or did you just stick with the 4.0.4? (basically, when you flash the official rom does it keep camera working even if you put another rom on after or is camera related to ROM?)

For the s3 Ui jb 4.1.2 do you mean http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087631?

PS. Im assuming below you mean Jiayu and not hiatus - unless you are launching a new brand called hiatus??!!! lol
[Android General] Supracer:
NA man! I don't have enough money to wipe my own ass lol! Me making a new brand? Lmfao!

Anyways if you want the s3 ui its from 592zn.com site here's the link check it out http://www.592zn.com/thread-263746-1-1.html

About the camera I did flash the 4.0.4 first and saw the camera didn't work so I flashed the official jb and than the camera worked, after that flashed back to official 4.0.4 (didn't check the camera) flashed baidu 23 rom and everything worked perfectly.....

I already flashed 50 roms without any problems because I love to flash roms to see if there is anything new or unique :p

If u want the link to download without logging into the site just ask :)

Because this is kind of "universal" ROM for G2H/G2HS/G2L/G2LS. Also can be considered bug-free due to many people using it

I have "bricked" the phone...

Power on - black screen.

I have original china recovery.img, and after bricking tested/worked on this phone - cwm recovery.img.

I try download to phone this img's, but every flashtool version give 8038, or 3013 error on download.

I make two video.

On first:

- plug the phone (device manager flash com&lpt)

- connect the battery (again flash com&lpt and i show it)

here the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7hYnJI7aFU&feature=youtu.be

I think the driver is okay.

On second:

- SP Flash Tool v.3.1.222.00

- scatter file

- cwm recovery

- click download

- connect the phone usb

- after 2-3 sec connect the battery

- and error: 8038...

here the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzb8IlWJws4&feature=youtu.be

Can hear after connecting, SP Flash Tool not hold "connect" the device. Disconnect under flashing.

0:37 connect without battery

0:39 start flashing

0:40 connect the battery

0:42 disconnected the phone and give error window

I try:

scatter: mkdroidtools folder, maked scatter with mkdroidtools (before bricking), downloaded scatter

SP Flash Tool: v.3.

- 1216.05

- 1222.00

- 1224.01

- 1224.0.sn85

- 1252.1.104

- 1316.0.150

recovery: original china, cwm recovery

and this variations.

Flash Tool give always 8038, or 3013 error.

What's wrong? I have no idea after 1 days....
[Android General] albinolynx:
Okay, i have do it!

SP Flash Tool v.3.1224.0.sn85

Either scatter file

Either recovery

I think, the problem was the damaged bootloader.

I flash first not only the recovey. I flash the full official ROM from here: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/jiayu-g2-plus-12/

Flashtool works fine, no error window, etc. Red bar, yellow bar, green circle.

Battery out-in, power off, the system boot. Works!

Then remove battery, load flashtool scatter, only recovery, cwm recovery - download. Battery in, usb cable - download done.

CWM is on - works fine.

So SP Flash Tool give error window try flash recovery = try the full rom flashing (bootloader).

LOL

Yea supra please do send the link, these chinese sites are starting to grate on me a little....although they do a great job!

If you have the links for the official JB 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 please do send also....

I think you should start a brand and call it Hiatus (which means to take a break right?) so make a phone that takes 10 minutes to start.

:D:D

also can I just use the phones own CWM to restore these ROMs? Or is there some deeper CIA based PRISM software required!

On 4pda.ru there is some success porting 4.2.2 to G2

Basicly they modded 4.2 for Amoi phone with 6577

So far it was tested on G2HS and G2H, still work in progress, it works but some hardware is not working yet - GPS, radio , some other quirks too

Won't give links for download, because the Rom is not ready for everyday usage, just FYI that 4.2 is coming to G2 :)

PS: There is also a port of MIUI v5 (also 4.2 based) to G2HS, also in early beta stage

thanks a trillion in advance:(

Did you do all cache wipes?

And which Rom did you install?!

4.0.4 is available on many places - jiayu site, needrom, etc

And without knowing your phone version... how to give you link :)

Unimod 1.6 is best in such cases :D

PS: Unimod 2.0 is coming... soon, still 4.1.2 based but with many enhancements

PPS: radio&Bt not working may mean that your phone is G2HS, but version for G2H was flashed or vice-versa

Hi guys.

After alot of search I have a tip for who have the G2LS 20130308 (G2 MTK 6577 Dual Core + 512MB).

I have installed this ROM: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/jiayu-g2-plus-universal/comment-page-2/#comment-20920

It´s very better than original one (4.0.4) and it´s very stable and fast, I´m very happy with Rom.

You have to install the LeWa recovery using MobileUncle Tools and install this rom using the following recovery.

Before of course you have to root your device using the default MediaTek root (RunMe.bat).

3. Is there any good/stable and compatible jb 4.1.2 already for the phone? If yes kindly direct me to the link and please give me instructions on how to flash it.

Best way is to flash stock 4.1, then install Unimod from CWM or TWRP Recovery

ROM Install :

CWM or TWRP recovery

use clean install for first installing, no other wipes need

after install choose Battery what you want in settings-> Display-> Battery style

Unimod is made to check current phone version so less chances to brick unintentionally.

Recovery can be downloaded from http://droidchina.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=718

JYT JY-G2 USB Device Not Recognized:

Story goes like this:

- First of all, I am writing here because is the first decent JY-G2 forum I found and lots of opiniated members are visiting it!

- I have my device the G2 1GB RAM Version that two weeks ago When connected to the PC was no longer recognized: USB Device not recognized

- I have tried: 1.Reinstall Win7 64bit and afterward Win 8.1 64bit --------- No success, same problem!

2.USB device removal from list ---- San for new hardware(Found as unknown device once again) ---- Update driver from vcom folder ---- No result

- What should I do? I think I uninstalled Baidu and something else from the phone and also deleted something with file manger from the SD Card!

- Is there any way to reinstall the phone? I have file transfer now available on it through Mobile GO for transfering files from and to phone from PC!

- Last, when I enter Factory Mode (Volume down and Power Button) I can move Up and Down but no selection can be made with power button or no other button!

Thanx!

Hi Enigmaximus! I have not tried rooting the phone yet. Maybe later but I'm already satisfied with it and I'm worried that it will get bricked. I paid through Western Union. I think the handling fee for Western Union is around P700. The phone costs only $162 now from where I bought it. Plus it has a 3% discount if you pay by Western Union. I chose EMS as shipping option and it arrived in less than 2 weeks. I think I paid around P8300 all in all for the phone and shipping. Check this site for more info: http://www.chinaphonereview.com/jiayu-g2. It is a great phone. I have no regrets buying it.
[Android General] webdoctors:
I'm considering buying the Jiayu G3 as it has a bigger screen and 720 HD resolution (only phone I believe on the market with such a high resolution), as well as dual-core. It also looks amazing.

With the G2, were there any issues with accessing the Google Play Marketplace? That's my only real concern. Rooting this phone should be as easy as the Zopo ZP100 , most of these devices don't put any real hard restrictions on rooting since they're not controlled by the telecom cartels.

Although if you want a safe bet cheap 4 inch phone that's name brand, the Lenovo A789 is cheaper and dual core.

Are you based on Metro Manila? From what I understand, Metro Manila-based EMS packages are not delivered straight to the addressee and needs to be picked up at their Paranaque office unlike for the provincial deliveries. How much customs tax/tariff did you pay for your phone? How much was the value declared for the phone? P8300 is very cheap for a dual-core ICS phone with IPS screen.

Hi, there

Just a question.. What the difference is between the Jiayu-G2 and Jiayu-G3 phone?

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

Hi there,

I also got a Jy-G2 and I completely agree you, it's a very nice and powerful phone. But I don't know how to root it. Some apps like screencasting for require the device to be rooted. Could you please post a brief how-to guide? I'm starting to deal this things witth :D. So, me, at least, would appreciate it. Big thanks!!!
[Android General] toffzter:
Hello! Jiayu G2 has a single core CPU, 4.0-inch screen, and WVGA resolution while Jiayu G3 has a dual core CPU, 4.5-inch screen and HD resolution. Jiayu G2 has been recently upgraded to Jiayu G2 Plus (or Jiayu G2-S) which is already equipped with a dual core CPU. All the other specs are identical to the single core Jiayu G2.

Hi there i also would like to know how to root this Phone that is such a nice surprise!
[Android General] __-_-_-__:
only ameritars would say such a bs. check your samsung branded phone. it was made in china. even if it says otherwise +90% of the parts were made in china. also samsung is not an usa company.

also why would a country try to destroy it's biggest exporter? such a nonsense and stupidity.

worried about spying? it's your government that uses echelon and admits to spy on their own citizens.

I just got a Jiayu G2. It's almost as fast as a S2. way cheaper and it's dual sim. very easy to root. because of what you said and some curiosity I runned a network analyser and logger and didn't found any evidence whatsoever of any anormal network activity. It's as safe as your samsung. Actually, much safer because it's bloatware free.

For 160$ is one of the best dual sim android phones. I recommend to everyone.

you can get other dual sims with this MKT chip but I wanted this one because it was a S2 copy and that allows me to use some specific accessories. but imo there are better for a bit more money. check newman n1 for example.

Hi.

So i m interested in this phone. But also Jiayu g3 is in my mind.

I like to get few answers before buying it. So i hope that somebody will help to decide what device i want.

questions:

1) How long the battery can last in this conditions?

(music 3h/day, 2g/3g switched off, wifi off,) - goal is to find out how long phone will last in no action at all and how fast u can empty juice at full power (everything on + music + camera + everything else)

2) What is the video/photo quality of camera?

(please post some examples)

3)How long lasting is the phone?

(quality of materials? perfect will be to find some crash tests or your phone drop expierence)

4)Size? - i am worried about its size.

(used to SE X10minipro sizes)

5)What about GPS?

6)What about android development on this device?

(Is it possible in futuru get JB 4.2 for this phone?)

7)Want to hear all things that let you down when you get your phone.

(all lags and any unnormal things with this chinease engeneering masterpiece)

Personaly right now i like thin desing of UMI x1 much better that Jiayu g3, but also Jiayu g2+ is pretty and smaller.

Thanks for your support.
