mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /system

Hi all,

New to rooting etc. Have ordered a Jiayu G3S MTK6589T 1.5Ghz phone and wanted to get the phone rooted and CWM installed so I can back up the existing ROM and try some new ones out.

Have seen guides for the G3 with the older 1.2Ghz CPU and also some other phones with the MTK6589T CPU but was unsure if these would work or brick my phone etc.

If anyone has a G3S or has rooted one and got CWM installed successfully would be grateful for any advice. Any advice on a ROM would also be good. I usually go for CyanogenMod or a simple stock ROM if anyone has any suggestions?

Hello,

I have my G3S 1.2Ghz about two weeks, last week the microphone started to not recording anything or recording the sound too low. On phone calls the person on the other side keeps telling me that was listening nothing from me or listening very low.

I went to Jiayu website and saw that was a new ROM. I installed it, and the problem just vanished, mic were recording good and people listening me well. After 2 or 3 days the problem appear again (today).

I have Mobileuncle tools installed, I tried to set de values to ones that I found on the Internet (not for G3S, I found values to another phones that has the same MTK), but did not work. I tought if the mic started working fine after I installed a new ROM the problem couldn't be from the hardware but from software (maybe something that messed up with mic values, dunno).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbalath:
I have this phone for few weeks now and its some sort of bitter-sweet experience.

If it was a tablet it would be perfect - easy to customise, very stable, decent battery, basically no problems.

But.. My problem is that my phone constantly loses 3g connection. It works in some sort of trial mode - great for 20 hours (+/- 5), after that - no more 3g, unless I remove battery, leave it for some time and then turn on. I have absolutely no idea why this is happening and I see that problems is discussed everywhere - in Russian forums, in Spanish, but there is no solution - I have tried 5 different roms, changed modem drivers, network operators. Absolutely no solution, except battery removal, but even this does not work all the time. So, I use 90% of the time phone in 2g mode, unfortunately data connection speed is very slow and for smart phone it's basically a worst thing.

For anyone who just got the phone I would recommend to get Jiayu app from play store, which is made by Spaniards, it makes some things simpler. Also, for me best rom I tested was Spanish 20130720-000003. Latest one is buggy, worst rom you can choose is that Samsung ripp-off rom, since its very unstable.

GPS can be fixed easily and works for me very well with 8 feet accuracy (as indicated with gps test app).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordito_gr:
Never had any issues with 3g man, maybe you should consider returning the phone back. Seems like a hardware problem.

And i used a lot of data this 1 month i got it (~2gb coming from online radio and browsing, minimum downloading)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyld92:
Me neither, my 3G always worked nicely.

Meanwhile, I did install new ROM (the same) and the microphone is working properly again... I registered the old values from Mobileuncle MTK Tools for the microphone, and after intalled the fresh ROM the values are different now so I registered the new values and if the microphone start having problemas again I will put the correct values to see if it gets well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arbalath:
Perhaps there is batch of Jiayu's with bad radio or modem.. I have contacted seller, but I don't have my hopes high. Like, I said, this problem is well known.

GPS can be fixed with faster gps + enabling EPO and AGPS data. If that doesn't work for you, turn on Mobile Uncle tools > Engineer Mode > Location > YGPS, click on COLD/ FULL and AGPS restart, just in case. After that, go outside or near the window and click 'satellites' tab, you should be getting something.

I confirm that many G3S users are worried about this 3G-loss problem (at least in the Italian forum where I..."come from").

Arbalath, I partially solved it flashing a fix by a Mediatek tool called "Maui Meta 3G". You can find and download the whole package (Tool+drivers+database files) searching for "MTK6589 3G fix" on Google. My phone runs quite better since then, but the 3G connection still drops sometimes, so I wish to find sooner or later a new kernel/baseband that could completely and definetely fix it.

Hi all,

I'm using the 3GS from August 14th as my unique phone and this is the result:

It works quite well, the ROM is a custom one installed by the phone seller, basically is a rooted 4.2.1 without Chinese apps.

I had the 3G loss problem two times but I thought It was a SIM problem.... I'll record if it will happen again.

I also had the WiFi tethering issue but solved with the Jiayu.es app.

I don't know if it's a ROM issue but I notice that 3G disabling doesn't work, the phone keeps connecting in 3G...

Hey fellow Jiayu 3GS users, I'm using the Jiayu.es ROM and I think it's great but missing a few options, wondering if you guys have any idea. First, is there a way to disable wake on volume so the screen doesn't turn on when you press the volume keys? I've looked in the \system\usr\keylayout folder and edited all **.kl files to delete "wake" next to the key 114 and key 115 lines but the phone is still waking. After restarting and checking the .kl files, I know the "wake" strings have been taken out. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Second, I wonder if there's a way to long press the volume keys to skip a music track. I think this option may be tied to the wake problem I'm having as outlined below.

Penny for your thoughts, good sirs?

Jiayu G3T

Hi, hopefully this is the correct place to post this.

I just bought a Jiayu G3T last week and am having problems with it already. It has started randomly rebooting and giving the error message on reboot: "all log tools are stopped, would you like to start log tools?" and then tells me that sim is not detected in either slot.

I have a funny feeling that there may be something to do with the sim and the fact that I'm using Tesco Mobile (in Ireland) which piggybacks on O2's network. I think this as when I press OK after the above error message it mentions detecting new sim settings for Tesco Mobile. I've also tried the sim in both slots and it still happens.

Has this happened to anyone else? I really don't want to have to return this thing as it'll be a pain in the arse to send back to China

Overall, Is this phone worthy?

Hey guys,

I've heard\experienced different stuff about all those mtk6589 chinese phones.

I had the same problems (turn off suddenly) with my Hero H7500+, so i had to take out the battery and restart it,

otherwise it won't turn on again.

The question i'm asking is - Is there any GOOD and STABLE rom which i could work with, without suffering from those

chinese phones problems all the times? coz i see those stuff are returning on every chinese phone i've ever tried to read of.

Today the MTK6589T version costs around 180$, and i'm considering to buy it, only if i'm assured there firmware is stable enough.

BTW, several things i'd like to know more from you, experienced guys, about this G3s:

1) Camera? how fast is the shutter? how the video? is there full HD recording?

2) How loud is the speaker? i'm using it a lot while driving in my car, so its kinda important to me.

3) I've read a lot about this Gorila Glass. How it really matters to me, in case i'm not throwing it to the floor all day.

4) How good is the display?

5) How is the touch? i'm asking coz i'm suffering with my Mi2S lousy touch feeling.

6) Is there FM radio app?

7) What about ROMS and support? how many roms there are to test till today? for Mi2s there are plenty of roms

which every one of them has their pros and cons, but MiUi is kinda the most stable + good battery life, and that is

what i'm looking for also, Battery life (I don't believe the 2750MAH has a big difference with other chinese 2000MAH batteries.

Thanks, guys.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gordito_gr:
1) Camera on all mtk65xx phones is mediocre. Its fats but night shots are just lame. Video is much better, i like it. Flash is just subpar.

2) Its not a problem, its loud enough.

3) It is extra help if you are not using screen protector.Screens can also get scratched in your pocket!

4) Its good

5) No problem. Why you have a problem with mi2s?

6) Yes

7) There are some roms, i tried most of them. Always get back to original+ gravitybox.

Battery is a good thing, it lasts me 3 days if im not playing games. And of course there is a huge difference between 2000 and 2750.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopinko:
Thanks for you quick reply.

I have a lot of problems with my Mi2s 32gb ver.

That was my dream phone, specially with its hardware and screen size (4.3" which is optimal for my hand).

Unfortunately, there are soooo many secret stuff which no one had mantioned in their reviews, and which i had to discover by myself.

Camera - LAME! the flash is burning photos at night, there is no real skin color with this camera.

The focus is sooooo bad, you gotta click the screen like 3-4 times till it focus the right way.

And the shutter... ohh the shutter. IT IS SOOOO SLOW!! i'm always getting those complains from ppl i'm shoting "why is it taking you soo loong!! why you gotta make us blind with this flash for like 3 times before you take a picture?" etc.. MAN! that bad.

I had 5-6 months Galaxy S3 when i decided to buy Mi2s in order to upgrade myself.

I went backwards, indeed, even though the specs of MI2s are much higher than Galaxy S3.

The touch is so bad. it click on the screen whenever it decides! when you scroll down or up on whatever application - it clicks by mistake.

I've never had to deal with that **** with my S3.

Btw - i've tried like 12 roms with it, and those problmes keep on coming back every time.

I'm going to bring it back now, and that's why i'm asking about this G3T version.

I found it on china24shop for 168$. that's the lowest price i've seen for MK6589T phone.

Here

Before that, i've bought 3 more chinese phones with 6589:

Cubot a890\m6589

Hero H7500+

Tiange 920+ (MTK6589T version)

All of them had a lot of problems, specially the "Hero" one, which turned off every hour while standby.. so I've sent it back to china for fixing (hopefully)...

Since a week I have bought JIAYU GT3 at mixeshop.com. As from the day that I have received it he starts sometimes (cold start?) on and crashes at any action and comes then in a boot loop. Starting up and crashes each time. Have gotten in touch with mixeshop.com and the only thing they come up with is to flash the original latest ROM. Unfortunately this doesn't help, tried it a couple of times and, each time same result, also tried an custom rom, continues crashing directly and get stuck in boot loop.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9ooyi5jj12s6a4/VIDEO0026.mp4

Now my only option is, on top of the 170 euro (had pay VAT at customs authorities by means of DHL) once more pay 27 euro shipping costs, with risk that package got lost or it is not accepted.

Mixeshop want also that I declare "spare parts "with a value of … Instead of insuring it for the real value. They indicate that when there are any customs costs, they do not accept the package and send it back (I hope). And oh yea couple when repaired / replaced phone is send back to me, I risk once again to pay customs VAT.

Any one experience with returning defect items to China? Perhaps experience with mixeshop.com in special? Is there no possibility of letting it repair in the Netherlands or Europe?

Who has a suggestion, or maybe a fix? I doubt if I take risk to send the phone for repair.

Last spring I did send my Zopo back to China by normal mail and got it back through DHL. I declared it as defect phone with a 0 value. No probems with Chinese customs. However DHL Netherlands did charge import taxes when it was returned. But you can get those taxes back through customs if you have prove that you did send back your phone to China and did pay taxes earlier. Normally customs will accept that and pay you back.
