You flash custom recovery, then can download whatever ROMs you want and flash them through recovery.

I just bought one of these off Alibaba Express so I can do some stock Android development on it.

And you always can try the jiayu.es tools. Their videos are great (even if you do not understand Spanish) and the software works fine too. I rooted my G3T using the Spanish root program. Easy job. Some tools can be used through the jiayu.apk app too (get in through the app store, it is fully in English), although I'm still trying to get some parts of it working.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
My Jiayu should be pre-rooted. I also found youtube-video's about the jiayu.es-app the day before yesterday. I'm thinking of using it to install the latest ROM they have. If I'm correct (I don't speak Spanish, so it always will be a bit of a guess...) that will give me (nearly) stock-Android.

For now, I'm still waiting on my phone. It should arrive in about 2 weeks time :)

MTK DroidTool FlashTool option problem

Hi there, I just got my new Jiayu G3T phone from China, I really didn't like the stock rom, so I thought I will flash custom one, I made a backup of my phone using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44509214&postcount=407

Backup went correctly and everything was alright. Then I installed CWM, and flashed Droid ROM v2 from needrom.com, but I didn't like this one either, so I thought I will just backup my phone back to the stock rom, and here comes the problem.

I'm following the second part of the tutorial from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44509214&postcount=407

I'm clicking on tab 'root,backup,recovery' in MTK FlashTool then clicking on 'to prepare blocks for Flashtool' , then navigating to the folder with my backup file, opening the backup file, then selecting the MD5 file and clicking open. Then I get this message from MTK FlashTool -

The problem is, I have scatter.txt files in that directory. Even two of them. MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt and MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT

Attaching screenshots, showing message from MTK DroidTools, and content of my backup folder showing that I have scatter.txt files.

Any idea how to bypass that error? I really would like to restock my phone, current rom antutu benchmark shows 16600 only.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordito_gr:
Just install CWM or TWRP recovery to make your life easier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthiew123:
I have installed CWM, I wrote it in my last post. Anyway I found solution - the problem was, there were two scatter.txt files, the solution is just to delete one of them.

I have a question about flashing stock rom with SPFlashtool from backup made by MTK Droid FlashTools. Everyone writes everywhere about preloader and DSP_BL blocks, to deselect them. My question is if my phone will be correctly restocked to stock ROM if I will deselect the preloader block? (I have no DSP_BL block anyway)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
Hi all,

I got my G3T, and I installed the Jiayu.es rom and CWM-recovery. That was just a breeze, and the ROM itself is beautifully sleek and stock-android. Just the way I like my rom's :)

I just have 1 question though. I have a virtual provider in the Netherlands (it's Telfort in case there are dutch people here), and my phone keeps telling me I'm roaming. I've enabled roaming, so it's all functional now, but it would be better if I could tell my phone what network is my home-network.

I've fiddled around with the file etc/spn_conf.xml by adding a fake_home_on-attribute to the entry of my virtual provider, but this unfortunately had no effect. Does anybody know if this can be fixed in any way using spn_conf.xml (or in any other way, but this seems to be the most likely file that could fix this)

Hello everybody! I got this phone about 2 months ago but I am having an annoying problem with buttons being pushed on their own and apps suddenly starting or closing. I don't know if it's a digitizer related issue but I am hopping a custom ROM may help. Is there one with android 4.3 or 4.4? Thanks in advance!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
I don't know what these do exactly with regards to roaming, but if it is just the removal of the indicator this is not for me. It is not the indicator that I mind, it is the fact that I have to have my phone to allow roaming at all times. When I go near the border, this could potentially cost me a lot of money.

I will look into them though, to see what the do exactly. Thanks for the post!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordito_gr:
What you want is to enable national roaming, it will only enable roaming in your country.

Maybe you could search something with that term, i thought it was a stock android option that appeared when you had a sim like that.

On my Neo V, i also had a sim like that, working under 'roaming', and there was an 'allow national roaming' option

EDIT

This may help, also an xposed module:

[Xposed] [EXPERIMENTAL] National Roaming
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
Now that my "problem" with the roaming indicator and settings are solved (thanks again gordito_gr!) I have one more problem to take care of.

When the phone is connected to the bluetooth in my car I can make calls, receive calls and everything. I can also hear the other person fine, but it seems the other person doesn't hear me too well. It's all distorted. I can be heard, but I do have to speak extremely clearly. The carkit worked flawlessly with my previous phone (HTC Sensation XE). I've tried putting my SIM-card in the other slot, but that doesn't make any difference.

Any ideas?

Also I saw that Jiayu.es released a new ROM. I don't speak spanish, so does anybody know what has changed since the 20130907-ROM?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
Okay, so I kept googling for my problem with bluetooth (the person I'm calling with hears my voice all distorted/robotic), and I think I've narrowed it down a bit. I came across a dutch forumthread and it said that there is a bug in Android 4.2.1 that distortes the microphone when you use bluetooth and are connected with a 3G-network on the same simcard.

I tried this by switching to 2G-network, and the distortion was gone! Completely clear sound, just perfect!

But this would mean switching network-mode everytime I get in or out of my car, and I don't think I have that kind of dicipline... So I'm looking for an app that can do this for me. One that would switch the phone to 2G only when it connects to my bluetooth carkit, and switches it back to 2G/3G-autoselect when it disconnects from the carkit. Does anybody have an idea?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P.Kosunen:
http://www.jiayu.es/software.php?on=9&jiayu=G3

Jiayu.es firmware has DataJiayu widget for network switch, maybe you could use it with Tasker to switch network when bluetooth carkit is connected.

Hello , i need help ,

my ju g3S curately stopped reading my sim card does not see any networks already tried several different but it does not change anything. These sim cards work on my wife's phone so there is no possibility that it was their fault. The phone just can not see them as I have not been loaded.

I tried already to change the rom to other 2 versions of jiayu.es, and original stock but nothing has changed, still do not see the sim card. I have used flash tool and recovery but it did not change anything. I do not know what happened left him of 3 hours, to charge ,when I came back , he constantly reset after loading the main screen. After flashing a new rom , phone stop to reset (factory reset does not help) .. and further it already as I wrote above.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kroesss:
Okay, I found a workaround using tasker as suggested in this thread (don't know by whom exactly, but thanks again for that one!), and I thought I would post it here because others could have similar issues with bluetooth calling.

I installed Tasker, that enables me to perform specific tasks when (in my case) the phone connects (or disconnects) from the carkit. Tasker CAN toggle 2G/3G by itself, but that is not supported on our phone/ROM (don't know which of these two is the problem). I installed Toggle2G (found it here on XDA), and this becomes available as a plugin in tasker. That way I was able to toggle as I need to.

I did report the issue with jiayu.es, and I got a mail that they will look into it, so hopefully this workaround will not be necessary with a future version of their ROM.

Thanks again everybody!

With that warranty it is funny way... all of us buy phone in China. So now if phone is broken we have to send it back to China ( and pay for it ..) it 10 -25 days or more ,the seller will look in phone and do some paper work with warranty, this will be like next 10-20 days... and Findley it will send it back to buyer , ( for free 15-60 days) so if someone will be lucky he will have phone in 1,5 month if not 2,5 or more... grate warranty....

2. In app choose "PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK" and check in settings "Autostart on boot" and "Notification".

It works for me perfectly.

As disadvantage, phone should start drain battery bit faster, but I personally never took a notice, and it's not an issue with our battery size anyway.

There's info on Russian forum that problem might be in short circuit on one of the phone boards, but that's not confirmed and I've been unable to check this myself and it involves phone disassemble.
