[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
I'm considering some options for a upgrade in January, probably.

Currently I'm thinking in

Umi Plus E

Helio P20, 6GB Ram, 64GB Storage and 4000mAh battery.

Downside is, Umi should suck at software support.

Maybe Vernee Mars Pro if it come, with decent battery and price.

P20 will be okay for me, cause the MT6752 still is, and P20 has huge improvements over it, when compared to P10 vs MT6752. It's not Big.Little or Big.Mediun.little like X20. And the 16nm will be much better.

Was considering Vernee Apollo, but I don't know, more reviews I see, less interested I remain. Mainly because of the more or less battery, speaker too... well I want to go further... On S3 I have same capacity and the addition of other batteries to replace.

Well... I'll wait for next big thing, with S3 running pretty well 7.1, I have plenty of time xD
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AlexZap:
All I can say is good luck finding another mediatek phone that runs 7.0. aside from maybe Xiaomi, which probably will get betas, even the new p20 based phones coming out are all shipping with 6, and a promised upgrade to 7. Just like out little jiayu was promised to be upgraded to 7, before the company fell apart and support was basically forgotten except by our beloved jiayu.de and jiayu.es teams.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Yeah I know, but others are out of my league, up to $250~260, Snapdragon 625 is the rival, but is overpriced and phones with it arent interesting. Even Xiaomi phones with MTK are abandoned or stuck at crappy Miui

Is Jiayu dead on its feet? I mean besides the great developers that we have here what are they working on for there next flagship device?

Even if they kept the s3 but updated it with a extra gig or 2 of ram and a true world wide phone with a a-z network radio bands and they would have phones selling like crazy.

Here are the phones I'm looking at now

Elephone s7 not crazy about a Samsung look a like but it looks well made

Xiaomi redmi pro or the mi max

What are the forums opinions on those phones
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] sokolataki:
It will be fine if jiayu keep create phones with m.a.d support but I believe that jiayu don't exist anymore. Jiayu exist because m.a.d work for our phone. It is really the best team. They take a phone from 4.4 and update it to 7.1 and keep working for that. I am sure that m.a.d loves that phone and they will keep update it with more stable rom's and new features. We, all jiayu s3 user must thanks them for their work and remember donate them to give power to continiue. Everyone from us can support them with some euros as anyone can. I am very happy that a two years phone was upgraded to 7.1 before nexus and so mutch named phone like samsumg,lg,sony etc. Think that are only 3 guys work in that phone in other side named phones has a big team for support and a supported cpu. Mad team is super. Keep working we understand the hard work you do for us. I will support you and hope other member do it. I cant help you in developing because I don't know so mutch but the only thing that can do is to donate you thanks [MENTION=3314975]m.a.d[/MENTION]

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] gorillaz_gr:
you should not panic and follow step by step information from google/youtube.

for example, here is how to install MTK drivers in Windows10 : https://youtu.be/zkgMdoc97Eo

then you have to make an account on NeedRom => JiaYuS3 Roms

and download SP FlashTools , Recovery, and a ROM, (i would advice the RC4) , so that you can bring your phone alive again!

then when TWRP installed, you can do anything you want, and update to android 7.1.1
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] mikebravo81:
some more experiences: gps and battery

So installed the new rom (7.1.1) on two devices:

Phone 1: good battery life, poor gps: no fix after 10 minutes outside

Phone 2: good battery life, good gps: fast fix after 1 minute.

Have tested the gps with gps test by chartcross Ltd (version 1.3.2)

Need help again pls.

Maui tool doesnt work properly (it boots the phone but it doesn't go in modification mode).

I'm able to flash RC5, and SIMs are OK.

If I try to install Nougat, then I loose again IMEIs, both if I make a clean install or I recover a backup (with or without NVRAM, I have a backup made before the chameleophon joke)

this is a mistery.

what can I try now?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
Did you try maui while using 5.1.1?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:
Is it necessary? While in 5.1.1 I see IMEI and I can call...however i'll give a try [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] nothing to do.

Really, IMEIs looked empty, I set them again and I see in info.

But if I try to restore backup, I have no IMEIs again.

If I try to install 7.1.1 even with only gapps, I get animated logo for infinite time

Notice: in 5.1.1 I tried to get into AT commands from mediatek engineer menu. It gives to me a message about some missing config file. Does it mean anything?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
Yes. It is. Booting into meta mode seems to be broken on aosp
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Metrino:
Done finally!

Strange thing n. 1, IMEI was present in 5.1.1 but when I entered Maui it didn't found it. It looks like they are saved twice, the first one is not writable and it's read by 5.1.1, the second one is written on user data partition (see following) and it's read by 7.1.1

Strange thing n. 2, when I installed everything starting from a clean 5.1.1, IMEI was present; then I restored my data backup, that made me loose again IMEI! I did it again from clean 7.1 install and IMEI was back again (it was not necessary to fall down in 5.1.1 and use Maui Meta), then I restored data by Titanium.

hi all there and especially MAD team
[MENTION=4761533]fire855[/MENTION] [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] [MENTION=5238428]superdragonpt[/MENTION]

just came across one super feature that MIUI roms have since version 8 (I think it is android 5.0) and it is called "dual apps"

I have found a simple text that explains it , but it's all over the net to Google it.

I guess my question is obvious, if that could be implemented under "MAD extras" :o:o:o:o

here is the article about it: How to Activate Cloned Apps

and then with a little more search another app in PlayStore seems interesting and promising: Parallel Space

Witch rom has no battery.drop. I'm still on stock rom 4.4.

I already have a konpson battery but drop remain.

I want a rom (mm or nougat) with at least French language, GPS, data. 6.0

Thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] gorillaz_gr:
this is for [MENTION=4495119]DragonXD[/MENTION]

so if there are fellows out there still on Android 4.4.4 you better hurry up and move on to something more secure and stable like Android Nougat 7.1.1 from MAD team.

Be careful that if from version 4, you have first to install with SP Flash Tools the version of RC4 version for our phone, install the correct TWRP stand in FAQ from Nougat thread and the proceed to update to version 7.1.1

hope this helps.

p/s: if you have battery drains first consider of using one battery calculator app after installing new rom BUT if you still have the original battery, without second thought buy a new KonPson!

Is it available in AOSP 7.1.1?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elessarsst:
I will answer my question...

There is no simple way to change imei in new roms since there is no engineering mode.

1- You must turn back to a version which has a modem file in this topic (For Example This)

2- You must use mad recovery bin file as your recovery.img file while you are flashing the rom with sp flash tool)

3- you must use the latest maui meta or other meta tools to edit imei with

2 nvram db file which are extracted from modem zip file "the blpg ones (with ltw ltg or sth)"

(you must flash the imei numbers with both 2 blpg files again.

4- you must check if you done it right by *#06#

5- you must go to twrp and wipe "Factory Reset"

6- you must reboot without os and go to twrp again

7- you must install 7.1.1 stable 5 (or the newest)

you're welcome :cool:
