[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Aussie_Oddball:
Stage Fright causes heart attack

Okay after having a minor stroke my phone is back.

I applied stagefright fix.

My lessons learnt:

My battery was at 20% so to be sure I wouldn't run out during the update I connected the USB cable

BiG Mistake Don't do this the update with a cable connected it gets frozen at Installing update and never reboots. This maybe a Dah moment for the experienced, but for me it was a horrible heart attack experience.. With some help (thanks Guys)I disconnected the cable took the battery out and the phone rebooted. Big Sigh. Heart attack over. Then going for broke I redid the stage fright fix without the cable and it seem to work.

Ran the test and got this message that I am still vulnerable.

I am on s3W-20150325-102656. I am sure that fact it didn't work is my fault but for me it didn't work. I not sure my heart can take a third attempt.

Thanks to you all for creating the update. Its awesome to have developers willing to give time fix problems created by someone else. For me though it did not work!

Not sure my heart would stand up to another attempt.

Try flashify really. Its easy as pie. Try twrp 2.8.4 as this is the version I use. grab the recovery.img and flash it with flashify first. Then reboot and flash the zip as well. It literally took me just a moment.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] uptowner:
maybe you need the first fix he might have only fixed the one line that wasnt fixed in the 15/08 second fix

Fix workes as stand-alone bug fix!!!

Its worked via flashify/Philz recovery on my Lenovo A936!!!

It's worth a second try, as it doesn't do any harm!

For me, I had to clear Dalvik Cache.

The last version I had to copy and paste to system/lib and change permission, but it worked, too!
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
Have some bad experience with that method, last timee i did that the gapps didn't work and the recovery from jiayu.app didn't let me to go in recovery mode and directly boot in the fresh recovery rom.!.

Is there a direct download link URL for the new stage fright sw patch ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] DerTeufel1980:
Your problem is not caused by cable or the zip file.

You need to get yourself a custom recovery.

I am not able to sign zip files with the mediatek signature (and if I were, it still would be illegal), hence you can only flash it with custom recovery.

If you do have custom recovery there's no way your device would still be vulnerable
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
Why dont you just copy the file from the zip to you phone to system/lib with any root explorer and set the permission as rw-r--r--, it will save you the trouble of having a custom recovery.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Someone should think about a new phone doc. All the tweaks (microphone fix), gapps, OTA issues, custom recovery, jiayu.es app, stage fright sw patches, etc. Explain all issues, give detail howto's, URLs for files - would all be in one place for newbie S3 and S3A users.

I have been involved since April on this forum and allot has been discovered, looked at and solved by very smart people. I pity the person who just bought a S3A and needs to read ~400 pages of forum posts to catch up and get their phone as good as ours.

Hi all

S3SW 20150314-141844

Un-rooted and left as stock 4.4.

I've applied the Jiayu-S3-KitKat-stagefright_fix_1508.zip

About Phone> Wireless update>Settings>Local update...etc

but I'm still showing as vulnerable...

Do I also have to apply the previous fix?

Cheers
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] uptowner:
I thought that but from the authors keyboard he states that its a custom recovery you need to install this fix ie twrp
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] haasgo:
I cannot disagree, but there is already so much documentation on how to do things, I think nobody would have to read 400+ pages to get a hint of what to do really.

Just go to needrom and browse through the different rom threads. I would say that 90% of them have a small tutorial on how to flash things as well as every file needed for example gapps, twrp etc.

I am a noob too, but managed to do what I mentioned above and have no problems with fixing smaller issues myself.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] kyltraq:
As someone previously mentioned, I have also applied both patched stagefright libraries via ES File Explorer. It should work with any root explorer app.

You just need to extract [MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] patched library from the zip, rename your original file in /system/lib/ by adding ".BAK" at the end of the filename and copy the extracted one to the same path. Don't forget to set permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--) after you copy the file.

Reboot the device and check for vulnerability.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AndyC76:
Thanks,

I've installed ES File Explorer,

enabled root,

archived original .so file,

copied over only the latest fix,

updated permissions,

de-activated super user

and rebooted.

I can now confirm that the vulnerabilities have been patched

Hope this helps someone

Phone Broken !

hi guys and girls :)

I have a strange issue with my S3 Advance (2 months old), first it started to turn of randomly which was not a major issue as it restarted it self.

Now when the screen goes black/phone goes in to sleep mode it shuts down, I have tryed:

new battery and factory reset

but still does not work, I have tryed/planed to reflash it but I am getting unknown device on the PC and I am scared to flash it as it restarts.. meaning it can restart during the flashing procedure.

Version :S3SW 20150314-141844

scheduled power on and off is not active..

Can someone help a poor guy out :)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AndyC76:
Who did you buy your phone from?

I would be contacting the retailer as hopefully you'll be covered as it's sounding like you have a hardware fault
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Crashnet2000!:
Hi,

phone was bought thru Banggood, I sent them a email and I am waiting for a replay but as you all know the shipping cost back to China is payed by the customer and it is not cheap (but cheaper then the phone) so I wanted to give it a try and ask the good people of this forum.. If thee is any one else with this issue or a fix.

thanks
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] AndyC76:
Hi

I've just checked their website and there is a feature for "live chat"

http://www.banggood.com/

enter the details it asks for and try : After-sales - Defective/ Missing/ Wrong items

as for the cost of shipping it back, try and work that out with them on the chat... but clear, concise and succinct in what the issues are!

Hopefully someone here can help you too!

Hey masterpointer, did you get any tracking number at all? I ordered mine on Thursday as well, probably a little earlier than 16:00, but up to now, I still haven't heard anything from them. Same store. Express delivery too. I emailed them yesterday, still no reply. I'm in Melbourne by the way.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] masterpointer:
Yes, I received a very professional looking "Shipment" note on Friday, which included a tracking number. I didn't bother to look over the weekend, but on Monday morning , when I looked, I was advised that the item was ready for delivery. It arrived half an hour later. Needless to say, I am very impressed!

I came without Google Store, but I was able to install that without any problems by following the advise from "63holdenolden" (and others) from this forum. A more serious problem is that my address book does not sync with any of my other Android gadgets. That means that the "Contacts App" is empty, as are my calendars and appointment list.

missing contacts

Hi all

Further to my missing contacts, I have just noted that the usual GMAIL app is missing. That's probably why no contacts.

Now come to think of it, on all my previous Android gadgets, the first thing I had to do when opening a new phone or tablet was to sign in to my Google account and that did not happen with the Jiayu.

Any ideas of how to get the Gmail included? (You can't just install it from the Play Store. That doesn't work)

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] elkosith:
Flash a ROM that includes gapps, as mentioned above, or flash the gapps only using recovery.

Don't forget to do factory reset after the flashing.

You can find the silicon case, flip case, film screen protector, and tempered glass at aliexpress. My recommended store is Dirtown Digital as I bought my phone, silicon case, and tempered glass there.

Thanks, I have downloaded the 20150205-141543 file and the flashtools from Needrom, but I can't find any tutorial of how to install it. Do you install from the PC, or directly from the S3? Also, is there anyway to save the present ROM "just-in-case"?

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] e8hffff:
Been using mine for an hour so far and it's working perfect. I can't test 4G as I don't have a sim that is using that network type.

I installed Google Apps using the "Fastcardtech Google Service Installer.apk" over the USB Storage, so hope it's not compromised. with viruses/trojans.

The camera is fantastic in my opinion, but I have only had a Nvidia Tegra Note 7 in past which is a 5mp(HDR)/vga. Audio is great with headphones especially the FM radio. The internal speakers are not bad but not fantastic but yet again I'm comparing that to Nvidia Tegra Note 7 which is proclaimed as having great speakers. Video playback is great, fast and smooth. Love the root mode as settings option.

I'd probably prefer standard Google launcher as I want proper icons, but I do like the Settings layout and style.

The feel of the phone is very light weight, thin and not at all awkward, but I don't have small hands.

The only real gripe I have is that the USB D-socket I'd like the other way around so that it fitted my docking stand.

I'd easily buy this phone again. Now to test how long it lasts.

The first thing you need to install TWRP recovery (click to download) to make a backup of the current firmware (just in case if something goes wrong).

Download Flash Tool v5.1452 (click to download)

Download drivers. (click to download)

Let`s create an folder with any name in the root directory C and unpack here archives Flash Tool and recovery.

Next, do the following:

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/e16be1860807/Recovery.png

1. Run Flash Tool. Select scatter file from the folder with recovery. Mark RECOVERY item as shown in the picture above, other items deselect. Select the file recovery from the folder where you unzipped it.

2. Select Download only from the dropdown menu (NOT!!! Format All + Download!!!). Push the button DOWNLOAD.

3. Turn off your smartphone and connect it to a PC. Recovery should start flashing. (If the process does not start, you need to install the drivers and repeat.)

4. Disconnect the phone from the PC and loading in recovery - enter into the TWRP I use the app JiaYu.es. (or from GooglePlay) In this app: Tools ROMs - Device Tools - Reboot in Recovery

5. Click BACKUP.

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/13a4d5d3770f/1.png

6. Select the following items - Boot, Nvram, Recovery, System, Data

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/22bfa24aebf7/2.png

7. Next Swipe to BackUp and Looking forward to the completion of the backup.

8. Push Reboot.

BackUp of the current ROM done. It located in the folder TWRP on your smartphone. Make a copy of it into a safe place (such as an external SD card).

Next Install Update ROM 3 – S3W 20150205-141543 :

- Unzip the firmware file to a folder with Flash Tool.

- Run FlashTools

- Select a file with the scatter MT6752_Android_scatter.txt in folder containing ROM.

- Wait file to be added into Flash Tool

- Turn off your phone

- In Flash Tool mark all items except Recovery.

- Select Download only or Firmware upgrade from the dropdown menu (NOT!!! Format All + Download!!!).

- Push the button DOWNLOAD

- and connect your phone into the computer via USB data cable.

- The process will start and a red progress bar will appear after color purple, yellow.

- And green circles display

- Finish !

- You can now safely disconnect your phone and turn it on.

This is the latest official firmware, it includes Google apps, which work perfectly. In this firmware deactivated Chinese 3G frequency. The bands of 3G WCMDA and 4G FDD-LTE work fine.

P.S. Remade links to download the tools on publicly available sources.

updating

Thanks for your comprehensive explanation. Just a couple of things. Your TWRP link leads to a russian website which I had trouble following. However, I have downloaded the TWRPS3Recovery.Zip file from the Jiayu.es website as well as the other files required. But I'm not sure how to proceed from there. I can't find any references to a "TWRP file" on the phone. Where would it be and how do I install it? At the moment, booting into recovery (which I assume is via Vol-up together with the power button???) simply brings up a tiny, tiny screen (which I can hardly read) with just 3 items: normal, fastboot and recovery. I'm obviously missing something? Can you point me in the right direction, please?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Zakerr:
TWRP that you downloaded from the Jiayu.es website do not make a backup Nvram section, which contains important information including IMEI. Here's a link to TWRP with enhanced functionality from my cloud service:

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/08846ade2a1d/TWRP_Recovery_JY-S3.rar

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/d58997cea6a1/SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1452.00.000.zip

This recovery need to flash into the smartphone instead of the stock recovery using Flash Tool by instructions which I have given above. Only then you can boot into it by using the app JiaYu.es. (or from GooglePlay) In this app: Tools ROMs - Device Tools - Reboot in Recovery.

Sorry for my English. :p
