in my case i have never had the battery drop in kk or lp and dont think there is anything wrong with the batteries ,as i have said i only charge using hub if there are other people like me who only charge using hub but still get battery drop then it would be a serious problem
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Dior DNA:
But, at least, if Mediatek or Jiayu CN improves or fixes something

that applies for the S3, would you usually (yes/no) get to see such

code change? Say: if they would come with newer code for canceling

noise or with newer drivers for the camera, would you have access to

that newer code? I guess you keep a change log where such would be seen.
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:
:p

Battery drop, drop, drop And battery jump, jump, jump! Fun eeeyyy! :silly:

If it jumps from 80%to a 100%,and drops from 15%to 0%,does it means that we are using 65%of the battery........?!? ?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] hohassan444:
:good:
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] genesisalgor:
Big probability that tour battery drops at 20%
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Sta'ko:

Battery drop and charching time of 8 and more hours should be fixed before it gets official. This bug is nerving, if Tf Xtreme fixed it, like announced, than i go back to Xtreme Rom.

I agree, and i hope that the 2 guys here fix the bug in the next Betas. The bug is for a phone like the S3 unworthy.

Yep!

I do not realy think that truely fixed by those folks.

i might give it a test next week, but i have the feeling that d&d have more experience on that ;)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
done :)

fixed... small issue

I Like it, but we are still updating between MTK code and 5.1.1 branchs

They know, believe me, they know.

This is not related to Jiayu, the bug is on the platform itself , it's MTK's fault on their base core platform code ...

It's there

[MENTION=4196889]DerTeufel1980[/MENTION] is just lazy, and didn't added it on first post ...

:p

I'll get to there...

´Did you guys flash full rom set?

Did you check other video recording options?

How about pictures on Sony rear camera, can you also confirm they are now better?

lol

And then my wife would kill me haha

Nor did i, never had battery bug, neither on kk or lp... im a lucky bastard :p

But, i would love to get the bug replicated ...

You forgot the git add .

I found on article on Gizchina (JiaYu could be the first to offer Android M) where someone left a comment:

"They cannot make an android M phone with mt6752 because AFAIK, 6752 is meant for just 4.4 and 5.1. The 6753 is for 5.1 and Marshmallow.

The helio x10 will be for android 5.1 and M. The x20 will be for android M and android N.

Mediatek keeps just 2 android updates for its devices. That's their way of making money."

Unable to upgrade to Lolipop

Hi there, I am currently (or was) running Kitkat (03/14) but wanted to update. I downloaded SP Flash tools + drivers + Jiayu.de beta 7 but when I went ahead and flashed it keeps getting stuck on 'Download Flash: 85%'. I made sure to click Format all + Download.

Am I using the wrong SP Flash tools or wrong settings or something? Can someone please help? Currently my phone won't go past the Jiayu.de boot screen.

Edit: I've added the links for the driver + the version of SP Flash tool I'm using.

Driver: Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM5)

Downloaded from here: http://ainotech.com/how-to-flash-jiayu-s3-the-installation-of-a-custom-recovery-cwm-or-twrp/

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] superdragonpt:
Straight answer:

On Mediatek side: (And like many other OEM's), OS updates are kept to minimal

(Want the newest OS, buy our new Phone...), that's how OEM's works

On community side: That's rubish

my phones:

MTK phone 1: Died on a Beta of JB4.1.1 --> It's now on KK 4.4.2 (KOT49I)

Mtk Phone 2: Died on JB 4.2.2 --> It's now on CyanogenMod 12.1 (5.1.1), and will soon get "Stock-AOSP" LP 5.02

Hey, check a video on YouTube by erald which shows you how to flash MTK with FP.

When I came from kk to beta 5 I choose firmware since format all might erase your nvram file.

Make sure you watch the video. It shows you how to confirm your preloader drivers are installed correctly.

For FP I use version V5.1524

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Abijeet:
Thank you for the reply. I have made sure that I have followed all his steps but unfortunately I get the same error. I have also already ran through with format all option already, does this mean my NVRAM is gone? (And if so, do I have a total brick now?)
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] adilrenzu:
You cannot possibly brick a mtk phone :)

The error you mentioned is because you are not properly connecting the phone.

When you set everthing up with sptools, press download and only after that plug in the phone( with battery inserted). Also choose firmware upgrade in sptools rather than format all+download.

Also if that diesnt work download the rom again, seems like the system.img is corrupt that why itsnit going past 85%.

[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] HypoTurtle:
That sounds like a recovery issue; I have tested it with TWRP (2.8.6.0/2.8.7.0) and CWM (need to check version)...

A few other potential issues: the /sdcard/SPFlash folder is case sensitive - i.e. it needs the three capitals; and the /sdcard location needs to be either what the recovery mounts as either /sdcard or /external_sd ( or /storage/sdcard1 with CWM). The ROM might have /data/media/0 mounted as /sdcard so if you are using the emulated internal_sd the location would be wrong...

The latest version is v12 and it works fine; and I'll leave the Installing side of things alone for now (I might fix a stall if there's no scatter.txt). Next thing to add is either a porting tool or generating an automated update.zip.

FMI. Do these SPFlash ROMs have system.img in sparse format or in raw ext4?

Great tool, would be nice if one could use this tool to change rom versions, like from 4.4 to 5.1/5.1.1 as the partition tables have changed, but i guess that might not be possible or is it?
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] Abijeet:
Thank you all

Thank you all for fixing problem number 1 (of getting lollipop onto the phone, it's no longer bricked).

Originally clicking the Format All + Download did delete my IMEI (and I'm unsure if it deleted my NVRAM) but I managed to restore IMEI with Jiayu.es (I had saved IMEI bak file).

However I notice on Jiayu.de beta 8 I do not get constant WiFi, my WiFi keeps dropping to become completely off after every 15 seconds.

It's like 15 seconds WiFi on, 5 seconds off. Is this because of my NVRAM deletion? What are my options?

I didn't backup NVRAM but I do have a full TWRP backup of my Kitkat ROM. Does a TWRP backup save your NVRAM?

Thank you once again,

Abijeet
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] uptowner:
it should do but i think you would have spflash a kitkat rom before you could use the back up
[JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers] HypoTurtle:
It is possible - but I'm just not too keen in using it to flash the preloader (I have added a backup preloader option to the backup side; doing the reverse should work - but haven't tried). Prior to this tool I wrote the main bones of a tool to resize userdata/intsd for those MT67** devices that are for some stupid reason not using a unified /sdcard [/data/media] - and that was done without userdata needing to be wiped. but also quite simple as you are only dealing with 2 known partitions (intsd and userdata).

If I was to add in some resize stuff I would like it to remain universal like how it is now - I've started working through it but something crops up and I try and add something 'easier' instead. If I had a spare device or two I could have it up and running I think - and be confident that the chances of a temporary brick (requiring SPFlash to fix) would be slim to none.

NEVER USE FORMAT ALL + DOWNLOAD in Falshtool.

You always lost IMEi and no one can guarantee that you can recover time (you lost your phone)

Before to use Flashtool please read carefully the relative thread and go away only if you are sure to know it.

As far as i know erased NVRAM has nothing to do with WiFi. Its "only" the IMEI. So you don´t have to restore it.

I was reading up on NVRAM and read somewhere where it said WiFi MAC address may be effected. However I wouldn't be able to connect to WiFi in the first place.

Well this is what I've done so far:

Reverted back to KitKat, restored my backup from TWRP and checked WiFi is working fine there. I then went back to Lolipop but it is still a problem. Is anyone else getting WiFi dropouts? I have tried beta 6 and beta 8 and have the same problem in both.

APN as far as I know is to do with mobile data. I have set up my APN settings and I can confirm that mobile data and network is working as expected.

NVRAM also stores several wlan related configs ...
