[General Questions and Answers] Tharg0r:
And did it get like that straight out of the box or was it when you tried to root or flash it that these things started happening? Need more information on what you did and what options you van reach after turning the phone on. Try taking the battery out for 30 seconds aswell to see if it gets out of that reboot loop.

Heres a tutorial I just wrote for someone on another board of exactly what I did, suggest you start again from square 1:
[General Questions and Answers] DickyJ:
Hi rooted using the binary method. installed cwm on the sd card, download mobile uncle tools and booted into recovery mode and installed new rom. then downloaded outlook security ran it and it found spyware removed it . downloaded Norton antivirus ran it it found a virus or Malware in cwm5 on the sd card removed it,

re installed cwm and installed another rom, battery issue all the time and rebooting so today went to factory reset rebooted to install see a robot with a cog on his back with green flashing line under his feet a pinning start hexagon in the middle then reboots every 5 seconds.

the reason i cant use the SP flash tool i cant install the drivers as the phone doesn't stay on long enough to pick them up i think.

if i click on them to install them is says cannot install

taken battery out for more than 20 minutes same **** .. gutted

Will update this soon just realised a mistake i have made managed to install the VCOM Drivers thanks to your link ...dwonloading the rom now ..... thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Tharg0r:
I was just going to say, the phone has to be off with the battery out to install that driver! Let us know if it works, make sure you rename any foreign characters from the folder names as well as the file names.
[General Questions and Answers] DickyJ:
Well i have no idea what i just did yep you were right about having to have the battery out , that's how i installed the Vcom Drivers had battery in all the time.

But how i did this i have no god dam idea... i kept opening the sp tool and loading different G3 scatter files all that would appear in the list for ages was just the rec img. eventually i tried different downloads of the same SP flash tool and numerous scatter files and one appeared with all the paths for the files except one called U boot file no path there.

However it still wouldn't download extract or update firmware so i turned my phone all and while it was booting clicked on format and flashed the Rom except 2 options cant remember what .. then a Russian menu appeared (thank god my missus speaks Russian) and bingo the phone came back up.

Still came back saying SD card damaged so formatted that, now Being recognized all ok

Now trying to install your rom that you suggested do i have to rename all the files inside the Zip that are with Chinese symbols?

I installed lookout scanned for viruses then mobileuncle then cwm made a back up then tried to install your rom you showed me. removed the chinese symbols from the zip name but it came up as bad rom.

Inside the zip file is a file called G3-20130116-221844¦-Tв

Im presuming just remove the "¦-Tв" part right ?

Its ok i found same rom here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36915264 will install that one

thanks for your help dont know how but its back up and running again so far thanks to all

what the battery will be like though have no idea :D
[General Questions and Answers] Tharg0r:
You need to unzip the files from the download links in the Jellybean tutorial as they come in zipped form to save bandwidth for the website that hosts them, this will give you a set of tools and update.zip, you unzip them once, you obviously dont unzip update.zip as nobody ever does that. Once you have unzipped them you should have an update folder and a folder full of tools and drivers, remove any foreign characters from these folders and file names as Flashtool does not like them then follow the Jellybean tutorial in the second link I give you.

Probably a good idea to delete all the crap you downloaded then reboot your pc and the phone and then follow the tutorial to the letter using only the files it tells you to.

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

EDIT: And dont just grab the first G3 Jellybean ROM you find, there are loads but theres something wrong with all of them, use the official Jiayu G3 JB beta from the links I gave you, its completely flawless in my opinion, glad your phones not dead though :good:

Anyone can make the boot and recovery dump from the "ETOTALK MOD ROM" and upload?

Use Nandroid Online Recovery or CWM and upload boot.img and recovery.img, please.

These guys have compiled the kernel and CWM Recovery from the last files.

[/COLOR]I upgraded to Jellybean and now I have no clockworkmod or recovery mode on the phone. When I tell Mobileuncletools to reboot into recovery it reboots but just loads a pic of the dead Android with red triangle and I have to pop the battery to reboot, whats the quickest/safest way to get CWM working on my JB Beta G3 please? Many thanks.[/QUOTE]

After installing any Official Rom, you have to change the Recovery to a CWM one for being able to boot to recovery.

Turn off the phone, take out the battery, and run Flashtool. Load the scatter file I attach and click on the recovery.

Then load the CWM recovery and press download. Click YES to the warning "Not ALL images are correctly loaded",

and plug the cable and then put the battery back on. Wait for the green circle. You're done.

[LeWaOS][4.1.2]GThrill ROM v2.0 for JIAYU G3

I've customized the latest (22.Feb release) LEWAOS JB 4.1.2 for JIAYU G3. The real purpose was for personal use, but i thought that I would share, in case any one's interested or wants to try.

Features

- based on LEWAOS for JIAYU G3 22.Feb release (http://bbs.lewaos.com)

- Jellybean 4.1.2

- system/framework zipaligned

- init.d support

- zipalign on the fly (script by Wes Garner)

- slim and light: removed unwanted apps (i.e. virus scanner, etc.)

- host file (to block known ad servers/hosts)

- some build.prop tweaks from different sources

- contains some line from V6 supercharger script (by zeppelinrox, particularly kernel tweaks)

- Google splash logo, NEXUS Jellybean bootanimation

- Language: English (default), Chinese

Screenshots

Boot Splash/Logo and Boot Animation Video

- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2d3PgAarA0

update:

I've decided to create a new thread for the GThrill ROM, which can be found here.

I've also ported 6.0.1.5 CWMR from Acer E350 and included that in the thread, together with my EN translated version of Lewa Recovery.

cheers! :)

Hi folks, I installed the needrom "jiayu-g3-14" (which by the way is the best I've seen so far):

But I have problems with recognizing numbers saved in contacts. My numbers are saved in format +5500XXXXXXXX, but if I type (or get a call) fewer that this, like XXXXXXXX 00XXXXXXXX it is not recognized! I've tried cleaning everything (cache, data, devilk cache) and use Flash for the original version 4.0.4, but not works. This problem also occurs with the official 4.1.2 rom beta (needrom is based in this). Can anyone help?

Thanks.

can u provide the link (G3 miui jb rom)
[General Questions and Answers] mengfei:
when here in China I just put data ON then I can have internet

but when i got back to the Philippines then placed a local SIM I can't get any data signal, I check the APN settings & they are there - though i'm not sure if it is correct.

couldn't it be as simple as turning data on-off to have internet? is there any other settings that must be done?

tnx
[General Questions and Answers] ragmarotta:
Thanks for reply. Really the problem does not occur using this dialer in call lists (dialed / received / missed), but the problem persists when I make a call or receive a call on the screen where the image appears, the number is not recognized, the contact name only appears after in the list of calls.

flashing recovery image failure

I rooted the phone successfully but could not flash the recovery image.

What I did was:

I started Mobileuncle, selected the recovery image file and started it.

It ran as expected (no error message) but when I tried to start it in recovery mode,

it failed.

What did I do wrong?

The recognition of numbers still does not work ... I think unfortunately will not work in any version 4.1.2 ... When the number does not correspond exactly with the stored, it does not display the call log, messages and caller. That's terrible for a phone 2 sims that work with different operators (and different format of numbers received/called).
[General Questions and Answers] DickyJ:
hi

HI did you read the bottom of the instructions ? download exdialer from here

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2Rvb2h1dC5kaWFsZXIiXQ..

I installed that can search fine and works as normal after i used this for a day or so deleted my original contacts that came in the rom

did you install the rom ok and were the instructions easy to follow ? :)

i still have GPS connection lag but i think so does any rom.. i have to leave the phone outside and has to be a clear day then i dont get a god connection.. hope soebody comes up with a solution for that i got around 5800 with Antutu using this rom to :)
[General Questions and Answers] ragmarotta:
This app only make up the problem. The numbers now are recognized in logs but not in call application (native from android).

Searching a solution, i discovered that PhoneNumberUtils class in framework.jar of this version (4.1.2 in official G3 rom) is configured for 11 digits recognition. I solved the problema deodexing the jar and changing the variable minMatchLen value from 0xb to 0x7. Hard work, but resolved the problem!!!

This problem is related in google code issue #23092 (i'm not able to post links):
[General Questions and Answers] gommers1978:
I have an update.zip for this problem, but did not understand what your problem exacly was.
[General Questions and Answers] ragmarotta:
The problem is:

My numbers are saved as + XX XX XXXX-XXXX. If I get a call on format 0XX XXXX-XXXX the phone does not find a respective contact! Recognizes only if the format is at least X XX XXXX-XXXX (11 digits). With the above change recognizes any number dialed or received at least 7 digits (XXX-XXXX in example).

Hi all using Sygic my gps works fine however had to go into the Sygic /settings / hardware / and select GPS module. found satlittes .. now the phone works completely awsome.
[General Questions and Answers] Adarkar:
do you mean that Google maps and Navigator don't work on this smartphone?

Since GPS works well with Sygic, I guess it's just a software problem. :confused:

Wifi and bluetooth problem with Jelly bean

I received my Jiayu G3 today, and on stock 4.04 ICS everything was dandy.

I then installed CWM and tried Gthrill ROM. Weirdly, the Wi-fi and bluetooth won't switch on?

I have also tried Raw MOD rom which has exactly the same issue. I've checked and I am rooted. Cellular signal still works.

Does anyone have any idea what the cause of this problem and its potential solution may be?

[General Questions and Answers] Adarkar:
it depends upon the specific ROM for specific "wireless" integrated chip.

Older generation G3 used chip revision s500. newer G3 use s501 type.

So they made 2 slightly different ROMs.

We should be aware of the chip used - so we can choose the "correct" ROM.
[General Questions and Answers] DickyJ:
worked on old ones ?

Well i dont belive that at all i have 2 giyau G3s both order last year and that rom i put up there wors awsome liek i say do a back up of your existing rom and try that one i posted

I think you will be suprised :)

Try IT!! :P
[General Questions and Answers] Chrissyboy101:
Yep, I've had a read up and can confirm that you're right. Which version do you have? The official Jiayu forums are quite difficult to understand, do you know if they plan to release a Jelly Bean update for the s501 version?

The s501 has only been released this year. The date on the ICS build for the s501 shows that it was released in late February.

That's why the ROM you've tried works on both your G3's. I can assure you that the ROMs cannot work on both. As it works on your s500 phones I know it will not work on my s501. However I wish you the best with your ROM! :)
[General Questions and Answers] Adarkar:
I will get the phone next week.

And, yes - official Jiayu forum is in chinese language. Google translate helps a little but until they don't make an english language forum / download it will be hard to understand.

I'll post here which Android version comes with new phone (maybe Jelly Bean already?!?) :confused: :highfive:
[General Questions and Answers] mengfei:
tried MIUI today & it seems to run OK w/ abit of stutter & the camera app doesn't work but i tried camera360 & it's OK

OK if you want to give it try but i guess still not for everyday use, got it from Jiayu G3 Forum (must login)
[General Questions and Answers] Chrissyboy101:
Ah cool, where did you order it from? There are some pretty good deals from reputable ebay sellers.

Mine was 204usd delivered to the UK with the accessories pack :D

Depends what version you have. If you have the s501 chip, there's been no word about a 4.1.2 ROM for the s501 that I could find on their forums. So that's quite optimistic, but I like that! :p
[General Questions and Answers] Adarkar:
from alie*press.com (m*xeshop inside shop) , about 209 usd (including DHL shipping to Italy, silicone case, screen protector).

Where did you got yours exactly? (you could send me a PM if it's forbidden to post in the forum, i don't know)

what's included in the accessory pack? extra battery ?

I hope they will release at least a Jelly bean for the s501 chip G3 as well... :confused:

by the way, which is the "official website" of the Jiayu brand? (maybe I already asked about it) :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] Chrissyboy101:
This is where I got it from;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dual-Core...689?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e77d7e209

There is a silicone case and headphones. There should also be a spare battery actually according to jiayumobileshop.com. The ebay seller

included a leather case, car charger and screen protector.

[General Questions and Answers] wangiles:
Hi. I did managed to. Process was tedious. But doable.

This is what I did. Still, do it at your own risk.

1) try to install stock recovery as current recovery will go to an android bot with a red triangle and an ! On it.

2) once installed, recover to 4.04

All the best. I hope it helps!

[General Questions and Answers] Chrissyboy101:
No idea where he's got it from, but I've asked him on the page I linked. I suspect its a port. Can you give me a link to FINAL 4.1.2? Can't find it on eJiayu.com. ROM works well, although I would prefer a more stock experience (i.e battery and settings icons have been changed)

Performance seems good, antutu scores 5462 which is not great but I had a very full SD card. Very stable so far!
