Yeah, including Nexus (Google) only 2℅ phones are running MM

Only 2.3% of devices, from latest Google statistics...

http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html#Platform

This phone came with kk 4.4.4 and got official LP ( and customs source lp builds )

Its not expected to get MM from official JY, MM flavours will probably arrive only via custom builds ...

Awesome

Tried to Remove Malware - Phone frozen

Hello - Hope this is the right place to post this.

I have had a Jiayu S3 3GB from just after first release over a year ago. At first I followed this thread daily. Planned to upgrade to Lollipop but seeing the continuing on-going problems users had I decided to wait. After a while I became so happy with my phone with customisation and App upgrades but have kept the original ROM (official release Kit-Kat Febraury 2015). Decided to keep the original ROM as I basically needed the phone to use all day and every day for all the things that worked very well and not as a toy to keep playing with and upgrading.

The only issue I had was the battery diving from 15-1% which appeared some months ago. As I have three batteries and an off line charger this is no more than a minor irritation.

So an absolutely vanilla, bog-standard KK Jiayu S3 used for many hours every day. A very happy user - until a month or so ago. Then every so often full page ads and particularly, app or game download request pages started popping up randomly when using the phone and sometimes when just stood there. I used lots of cleaning apps, Malwarebytes, Avast, ES File Explorer and StopBadApp. The last turned up a number of infected Apps but it was impossible to remove them. Interestingly one of the infected apps was Jiayu.es which I had downloaded through here! It did seem that I was able to remove this, but not easily.

This activity has continued to get worse. This morning after reading more, I downloaded "Stubborn Trojan Killer" from Google Play. I ran the app. First time it came up with an Infection in "Jiayu". I assumed that Jiayu.es had not fully been removed. Checked Remove in the Trojan Killer. It reported back - allow Stubborn Trojan Killer to Superuser. Done and Removed!

However from this point things went very quickly downhill! At first the bottom buttons no longer worked then more and more things froze. So I powered off and it booted up again - partly. Less and less worked. Switched the Rooting off. Powering off again was the last I have seen! Now the power on goes through the two Jiayu Splash Screens and then the phone freezes. Can't switch off unless I take out the battery. But then just does the same again.

I can get into recovery but boot from there still freezes at the same point.

I am away from my main computer for an extended period and do not have any backups or ROM downloading capability.

Would love any suggestions on what I could do? In the end do I have to do a factory wipe. Loads of work and will loose lots of good stuff but at least get the phone back. Will this however work?

Obviously a bit of a novice in ROM work (but have done some on previous phones and tablets), so would need access to step by step instructions. Any suggestions or comments very gratefully received! Or should I move this post elsewhere?

i had the fullscreen ad problem with the first rom i downloaded from needrom kit kat but adaway seemed to control it ,with the main part of your problem have you tried just wiping cache and dalvik
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] g.andi:
First of all this not a post, but an ebook ;)

I would try to download your kitkat rom and with spflashtool select to flash boot, recovery and system (untick data). So you keep your apps and data. But here are better experts than mine. Good luck.

Just to confirm that I have no battery drop in RC5 and I am cycling least 3 original batterys. Since so many in here are still suffering from it. I can steadily drain to 1% no issues. But swapping to fresh battery gives me easy 4-5hours reading and gaming

Unfortunately, as I said, the last thing I did before the lights went out was to switch off root! Just clearing cache didn't do anything. Can I wipe dalvik without being routed?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] uptowner:
dont think not been routed matters for wiping anything pity your not near your pc if that can still see your phone you may have been able to copy your files over to it ,think you will have factory reset and if that dont work flashtool when you get back to your pc
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Yeah man same in KK. I think once you get it, it stays there no matter what Rom U flash and in my case it had already happend on LP . waiting for Kronpson Now.

I think the problem with the modded battery was that i used the battery connectors from the battery which already had a drop. The chip that regulates the voltage on the battery is the culprit i think. Once the drop happens it stays in the memory of the battery not the phone. Thats why krompson has no drop coz its memory is empty.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] RalphMalph:
Still no RC5 available for flash?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
This makes whole sense.

So far the Note 3 battery lasted more?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Actually it should but not in my case due to faulty terminals from the old battery. I might order a new battery for something 5 $ and test it again with note 3 battery.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
I think the "jiayu" app you removed was the launcher. The biggest issue with those playstore "malware" removal tools is that they report a ton of false positives. There is no standard method for detecting malware on android, so whatever they use (permissions, heuristics, etc) it isn't really reliable. So it may see one app that works with some strange permissions, and classify it as malware because it doesn't have a signature for the app saying it is benign.

This does you fat-lot-of-good now tho. About your only option is re-flashing the ROM. If you want to stay on KitKat, your best bet is to probably go to the HTTP://BBS.ejiayu.com forum (jiayu official), and get the last KitKat ROM. If you want to move to lollipop, you can get the jiayu official lollipop ROM at the same place, or you could try one of the others HTTP://jiayu.de/forum or http://www.tfandroid.es/. Both are excellent choices. But, you will wipe your internal storage and loose any apps, pictures, call logs, sms's or anything else you might have on internal memory. If your phone weren't broken, you could probably back data up, but now, it would be difficult at best to back stuff up. If you stay on KitKat, you can probably flash in a way that you could in theory recover your current data. You then could back it up and move to lollipop. But this is far from certain. Data my be unrecoverable no matter what.

If you decide what direction you want to go, and let us know, some one will be able to advise you on flashing which ever way you go.

Many thanks to uptowner and AlexZap for the help and information. Progress this evening! I managed to borrow a Windows10 Netbook computer. Plugged in the phone via USB. At first no joy as I had switched the phone on and then connected it. Then I disconnectd the battery and reinserted it - connected the cable and then switched on the phone - activity! I have a Night Clock App which activates automatically if a USB charger is connected between 23:30 and 5am. The phone at switch on had the clock at 0:00. Hey presto the app switched in!

At this point I could sweep down the full notification menu and had acess to settings. Now I can do most things such as switch on Root, change USB settings and now am copying off all data to be safe onto a micro SD card. However I am pretty sure that when I am back home in a couple of weeks I wil be able to flash a copy of a KK Rom and have everything functioning again with no data loss.

It would seem that AlexZap was spot on and the Jiayu launcher is gone. If I installed a third party launcher would this work or does it need the original ROM launcher to be there in the background?

Otherwise I have a good backup phone - ThLW8 with me so will be OK until I have time and my own computer to work on replacing the ROM.

Once again many thanks for the help.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] cyberdejy:
What's this

http://mishka-hosting.co.uk
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
Yeah, a third party launcher would/should work fine. The issue is going to be getting somewhere you can install it. I think if you go into settings (sounds like you can get there) and go in to apps, and find the Google play store app, I think (not positive on KitKat, it has been a while), it will let you launch the play store right from there. Then get Nova or Google now or whatever launcher you prefer and install it. It should default, or when you hit the home button, ask which launcher you want to use and select whatever one you installed.

If you can't launch the play store from settings, you can get nova or gnl or whatever from apkmirror.com, turn on adb debugging on your phone,and use adb to install the apk crom a computer. More nuanced a process, but if you have to, I can provide instructions.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Kage Musha:
As AlexZap above me mentioned, 3rd party launcher yes. You can sideload it through ADB.

i have mt6752 , version 4.4.4

oi already download the last version with scatter file. what programs do i need? i think i ñeed also windows drivers for the phone.

thanks in advance
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sikke1:
Yes

Jiayu stock Camera app for mt6752 Lollipop leaves upper microphone randomly open and will result in bad quality phonecalls after using camera to record video.

No fix for that. But solution to live with it is soft reboot 10-15seconds. I have got used to it and accept this permanent bug. I call it permanent because only Jiayu can fix the stock app. Also Camera API fails to provide video recording for Facebook Messenger app* im not 100% sure how that is done but I also blame stock Camera app for this bug* so its permanent too [emoji1]

Its present in RC5 and for now unfixable feature, annoyance.... but reboot, eaven faster soft reboot closes the mic propelly.

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------

Standard feature of topping up lithium battery. Just proof our Jiayu FastCharge is implemented propelly. Ensures safety and extends lifetime of lithium cell battery. No battery can be charged full power to 100%. To protect 3.7v lithium cells beyond 4v up to 4.2volts charging current slows down.

General example of 3.7v lithium battery charging with 1A current, pulled with google, not real values for mediatek@jiayu fast charge.

http://www.ibt-power.com/bkencel/Graphs/LiIonChargeGph.JPG

Ps.

My special thanks for devs on support to this great -still flagship- mt6752 platform. Mt6753, mt6755 or mt6795 is hardly an upgrade. They are all same chips, minor tuning. Lenovo k50 Indian beta 6.0 proofs there is mediatek code update for mt6752. [emoji1]

We can only hope Jiayu buys the new code [emoji6]

Someone running Lenovo k50 mt6752 at 2ghz in geekbench proofs this chip outperforms mt6755 & mt6795 and beyond... its all about mhz scaling, I dont recommend running at 2ghz.... mt6752 runs pretty hot as it is and its not worth it. Mt6753 might outlast battery stamina race with the expense of lower top speed. Pure math. Mediatek just tweaked same chip for diff pricerange.

Helio X20 is only real upgrade and its still months away. I project 3-4months before it gets more mainstream *if it gets*
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
You need a program called SP Flash Tool. If Windows drivers are an issue, I cannot help (I use linux) but others can.

Now, if you go from KK to LP, you must use the 'firmware upgrade' option since partition layout changed.

Good luck

Not sure if it makes sense, but would it perhap be possible to install a 3rd party launcher (such as Google Launcher) OTA via a browser on any other device in Google Play?

---------- Post added at 00:51 ---------- Previous post was at 00:43 ----------

When I was a child I was told easter eggs came from 'rome' (ROM) 'over the air' (OTA).
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sikke1:
Jiayu S3 KitKat 4.4.4 stock launcher contains backdoor which installs malware called reacent apps. It will display adds to the user. This was covered in Jiayu official forums and wade apoligized blaming on 3rd party software supplier. I suspect it was the camera and/or music widgets present in stock launcher.

Malware removal apps flag stock launcher and with root enabled they will break the system trying to fix it.

Solution to avoid this is to disable stock launcher and use 3rd party launcher if you wish to stay at 4.4

But not recommended as the 4.4 stock rom is missing all the Android security fixes.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
Jiayu S3 KitKat 4.4.4 stock had some odd programs indeed. Not sure if they were meant destructive. Good thing about root OTOH was that one could delete or freeze them. But agreed : deleting or freezing launcher hurts if no alternative one already installed ...
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sikke1:
Back in the days already infected units were hopeless to fix. That reacents app was tight bugger... only solution was to do fresh flash and replace stock launcher in clean system as first task. Been there done that.... around year ago.

Some people managed to run long time without infection so as personal opinion I narrowed it down to those widgets. Some got instantly infected.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] pwatkins:
Well getting into PlayStore via settings and Apps worked. Although initially it seemed that both wiFi and SIM Data needed to be switched on? Anyway then able to download and install Nova Launcher. Allworks fine! For me was probably key that I had an app that bypassed the launcher. Kaloer Clock starts up when the charging cable is plugged in during he set times. Useful if your launcher breaks - or is deleted!

Interesting subsequent discussion about the Launcher being the vehicle for the Ad Malware. Described behaviour was exactly what I had. Seems that Stubborn Trojan Killer did find and removed the correct hidding place! Howevr it has also moved elsewhere as I still now have it with Nova Launcher. Will lok at suggested fixes when I am back home in a couple of weeks. Maybe finally move to 5.1 - or whatever appears over Easter!

Also there was another one called something like uncle suspicious or something.

I do think 5.1 would be your best bet, it will take some getting used to if your familiar with the factory stock 4.4 but you'll be amazed at how smooth it is, and if you get one of our devs ROMs you can be rest assured that there won't be any sort of maliciousness lurking in the background.

I thought "Fuqk the drop should come...(just need reach 3450mV)"

Then I removed the battery, pressed it... shaked that darn battery out.

Suddenly 16%, the "real" percentage I think.

9% now and no drop yet.

DerTeufel1980 by the way, I found that in your fw there is a little "bug", if I may say so: when use some screen filter like Twilight, Night Screen etc., it is unaviable to install some app - system donesn't give to tap INSTALL. Besides there is the same for VPN dialog.

Can you fix this?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dani551:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this is a security feature implemented by Google starting from Lollipop and is known as "Tapjacking Prevention". It prevents malicious apps from interacting with important settings and installing packages on the system.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Aeronliru:
Yeah, you're wrong. It has been from ICS 4.0.4 as I know. KK 4.4.* has it too.

As for me, it not so scary if it disabled in fw. I use my own autobrightness module, wich not fully compatible with this "tapjacking prevention". So I can say about Twilight app and others.
