Had my JiaYu G3 less than 24 hours..............

.............and I'm in trouble already. Tried rooting instructions at http://www.modaco.com/topic/359590-jiayu-g3-rooted-permanent-recovery-ics-spell-check-fixed/. Intended to root the phone, install CWM, backup the phone, and wait until there was a official stable JB. Everything went as described in the rooting process until the last step;

c:\User\your user name here>cd \ "hit enter"

c:\>cd bin4ry v17 root "hit enter"

c:\bin4ry v17 root>adb \stuff "hit enter" and a lot of text will scroll past which means you are in the right directory.

c:\bin4ry v17 root>adb devices "hit enter" daemon will start and numbers and letters will appear with the word "device" at the end. If that happens we are good to go.

c:\bin4ry v17 root>runme "hit enter" writing turns green.

c:\bin4ry v17 root>1 "hit enter" a screen will appear on phone select restore my data no password needed. Leave phone it will reboot twice i think it is and that's you done.

After hitting "1" for "normal" the phone rebooted one time and then froze with the JaiYu logo displayed. Now it won't power off and my laptop no longer detects it through the usb port. I thought I was pretty safe doing this, since there seems to be many who have successfully done this before me, but here I am with a 1 day old JiaYu G3 that seems to be DEAD.

I've tried an extended (45 sec) of the power, extended press of vol+/power, but nothing seems to effect it. It just sits there with the JiaYu logo displayed, MOCKING me!

I really need some help here PLEASE!

EDIT: IT's ALIVE! All I had to do was momentarily remove the battery and power it back on.

installing official ROM with CWM recovery

I assume I'm not the only one having this message when flashing official ROM with CWM recovery:

assert failed getprop( ro.board.platform )

I find the solution in another forum, but maybe it's here too. Just in case it could be of any use for some members:

1. unpack offical update.zip in your PC, say in C:\update

2. open file C:\update\META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script with notepad for instance

3. remove first line

assert(getprop("ro.board.platform") == "MT77_H958_ICS" || getprop("ro.board.platform") == "MT77_H958_ICS");

4. save file, exit, and pack again all files into update.zip

5. reboot into CWM recovery and install new ROM

worked for me with

G3-20121129-082828

G3-20130116-221844

by the way, new 4.1 official ROM comes with SU. Have tried it with mobileuncle + a few apps, you really are granted with super user rights.
[General Questions and Answers] miklosandras:
You are right, I also got problem with recovery version. Also did you trick, and it is successfully flashed.

You can download the official 4.1.2 from my fast server with the fix:

http://mieletunkhosting.com/jiayug3/G3-20130116-221844_recovery.zip

Flashtool version: http://mieletunkhosting.com/jiayug3/G3-20130116-221844_flashtool.zip
[General Questions and Answers] wangiles:
Question: we can actually install this through recovery through mtk tools issit? Do advise. Many thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] miklosandras:
Yes, just extract the first zip (G3-20130116-221844_recovery.zip or official, not renamed) and copy update.zip to your SD card, and you can start the upgrade via mobiluncle.

This will wipe, so please do a backup from your important things.

Does basic "update system" working fine with this rom? Should i wipe some data before upgrade?
[General Questions and Answers] miklosandras:
Led notification is working well as official 4.0.4, camera also working fine. both simcard working (3G and call). USB tethering also work, just tried. GPS is working.

I think basic update system should work, no need any wipe, cause update will do it.

What is the best way to update?

1) Android "update system"

2) CWM 5.5.0.4

3) FlashTool (not working for me some drivers problems etc.)

4) LeWa Recovery - Can I install offcial Rom 4.1.2 with this tool?
[General Questions and Answers] hillvieira:
I am newbie.

I downloaded but I do not know the procedure to install.

not quite understood
[General Questions and Answers] miklosandras:
I think the best way, extract the main zip, and copy the update.zip to the SD card.

Use the first option: Android "update system" or use the second option and flash it via CWM

Don't forget to do backups from your important data.

[General Questions and Answers] dohcacr:
Used CWM 5.5.0.4 to install update.zip from Official 4.1.2 Beta1, without any problems. I updated from the original JiaYu rom. I have no sim card yet, so I haven't tried the phone. Everything I've tried except Netflix works. Netflix hangs while loading the streaming buffer. GPS doesn't work. Antutu benchmarked @ 6069. Time to go back to ICS and wait for the JB final.

[General Questions and Answers] miklosandras:
for the update.zip, use CWM, with "Update System" it will not work (just tried)

Download CWM 5.5.0.4: Link and copy to the SD card.

Copy update.zip (if you did not do that) to SD card.

Install Mobileuncle Tools

Open --> Recovery Update -->recovery_cwm5.5.0.4_ENG.img --> OK --> OK

Phone rebooted into CWM recovery. (in CWM use volume buttons to up and down, and use power button to selection)

install zip from sdcard --> apply /sdcard/update.zip --> Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip

That's all

[General Questions and Answers] koolbrader:
Jiayu recommends using Wire brush instead of Card brush. I used Wire brush and it took me a few seconds to flash the ROM. No problems at all n I am loving my phone. It's like brand new and super fast!!

Just download the Wire brush ROM(if you don't know where to get, read my earlier post), open up SPFlash Tools, follow these instructions and you're all set to go. You may now enjoy Jelly Bean on your Jiayu G3 =D
[General Questions and Answers] hillvieira:
I tried to do as you said.

clicked on recovery and the message appeared

please root your android frist!!

Then you have to root your phone, or flash CWM or use flashtool version.

Seems the blue tooth is buggy. When I'm running 4.0.4, using my blue tooth hd-505 headset isn't a problem. With this JB 4.1.2 upgrade, it stops suddenly and can't play the music.

This has been happening since the custom roms of 4.1.2. It was fine when im using 4.0.4.

Really need bluetooth to work for my daily use. Anyone with same experience?

Ok. Disregard this. It's a jelly beans issue. Thanks.

After press "firmware upgrade" button nothing happen. Just searching & searching. I pressed "stop" unplugged the phone.

And is all fine with update. I have 4.1.2 now

[General Questions and Answers] putbinoot:
Is your sim in slot "W" which is the 3G slot, do you have 2 sims in phone as that's what it looks like from your screen shot, if not I am not sure why it is showing two signal bars, the last time I had that was because I flashed a cutom 4.1.2 rom which showed two bars even though only one sim was installed. Had a quick look at the video and if you used the Jellybean download in the link and that is what he used i don't think it is the official rom as it started up in chinese where the offical will start up in English or your language.
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
Are you sure the official will start up in other language than Chinese even if you use SPFlash Tool and Wire Brush??
[General Questions and Answers] C-o-M:
I have not seen any official release starting up in English. They're all Chinese by default.
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
Yeah, that was the same thing I was confused about. I've never seen an English start up screen as of yet when installing new official ROM's. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] elben:
If you are updating from English 4.0.4, then it will start up in English.

At least, that's what happens when updating LeWa Roms.
[General Questions and Answers] putbinoot:
As I am updating from English the official starts in English, I am sure I have used the ROM in the YouTube video and I am sure its JB release from another phone that's why you get 2 signal displays when you only have one dim installed.
[General Questions and Answers] KURT.Beadles:
OK I understand. But do you get a 3G notification or just an "H"?
[General Questions and Answers] menahemkrief:
i have only one simcard. now its in the W slot and it connects to 3g for a short time and than it goes to H (what does the H means?) and somtimes diconnect completely. the signal is very poor and disconnect too often.

this rom (from the youtube video) is not good. no reboot option, and the connection shows double even if i have only one simcard!

also this rom has no play store app. how do i get it?!

i think would like to change this rom to another, better, jelly bean rom. how can i do it? if i go straight to rom installation in modaco.com/topic/359590-jiayu-g3-rooted-permanent-recovery-ics-spell-check-fixed/

(my device is already rooted) will it work? i did not succeed in loading the scattering file in the sp flash :( what should i do?

if its too complicated, where can i find a good, ics rom for JIAYU G3?

If Power+Volume don't work, maybe you have to flash Recovery again. For official Rom you need the CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery.

If you cannot start the phone, you can flash the Recovery or the Rom with SP_Flash Tool. Search the forum for how.

I've never actually gotten a 3G icon on my Jiayu G3. I do get it on my Newman N1 and it never drops it. The Jiayu drops it pretty often and I end up with either roaming (R) or roaming (H). The interesting thing is that I do roam to the same provider. Really strange indeed. By an accident I suddenly jusy an hour ago got a crack on my screen... I didn't even drop it.

Hi, i also have a Newman n1 and Jiayu g3. Both on Virgin 3G. Virgin uses T-mobile. I haven't compared one to the other on 3G access. I did with battery though. Both the same battery life (however G3 has a 2750mAh vs 1700mAh on N1). When using Skype, t-mobile seems to drop 3G access to Skype. It forces me to sign in again but does not allow me to enter easy again. Sometimes is imposible to sign in once out. No difference with my N1.

With my JYG3,I have a horrible back ground noise when plugged in with usb to charge battery. I am dealing with the company to fix it or return it. Do you have a similar problem? Tory the voice recorder while connected on Usb

Did you leave your 3G close to a heat source and then took it outdoors? It happened to me once with a watch. I had it close to the central heating, when outdoors in winter and the cold shock broke the glass. You could see it braking second after second!
[General Questions and Answers] ubelai:
The 'H' stands for HSPA (usually your 3G connection),'G' for general GPRS connection, 'E' for edge GPRS connection, 'R' for roaming.

So atypically if the letters are present, you won't need to see a 3G symbol referring to the letters.

You are so RIGHT about the crack. I had the phone in an warm environment and installed some apps for checking the GPS, which for some reason I have problems with. So in order to test the GPS, I had to put it n my balcony for a while to test. And yes it is a huge tempereature difference (in house +23 Celsius and outside -13 Celsius). And that is when the crack happened. This is so strange. But thanks for telling me this.

Go to the Advanced Startup app in Windows 8, you can choose to reboot the computer with Advanced Startup options enabled. You’ll then be given the opportunity to boot into various troubleshooting modes, including Safe Mode, Debugging Mode and the snappily-named “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” mode.

Select ,disable driver signature enforcement and install the driver then reboot into normal mode.

Like a few comments after yours, you'll have to manually input a correct APN if you're having issues getting 3G connectivity whilst the signal bar still shows 'H' (HSPA, another term for 3G)

I had the problem when I first got my phone and was a little worried until I figured I'd manually add my Providers APN.
