To each his opinion.....


Let him say he wouldn't buy a Chinese phone @ $500 then you will see another person pay in advance for a $545 Xiaomi Mi Note Pro or $650 for a Huawei Ascend Mate 7 Monarch.


It is his choice bro, let him buy for Brand name and not for Performance.


I'm with the Chinese for the rest of my life. So help me gods

It's just as you rightfully said boss, Each with his own opinion .


Customer satisfaction for life- Chinese Brands

buy a chinise andriod for $500? God forbid.

When will people stop been misinformed and fool themselves . If and when this phone is released with the said specs let me see which of your " non Chinese " phones that you can get at that price. Bros the world is getting more aware go for value not brand. BTW most brands have their parts manufactured or assembled in china.

I also got bootlooped. But it installed anyways after restarting thrice. Afterwards I installed some other stuffs till later it got stuck at bootloop again and kept restarting. I've reverted to kitkat for the meantime as I may need the phone this week and wouldn't like to be disappointed. However, I'll be back to lollipop in no time sometime next week.

About this boot image u wanna upload; will it resolve the bootloop issh? Or its just to customize boot logo.

It's just to customize the phone

dljbd1:
I'm yet to ascertain battery performance. It's looks promising. I don't think that aspect wad tampered with.

I'll observe it for the rest of the day and maybe the whole of tomorrow before I can say anything about it. But right now I'm happy with the performance so far and I hope it remains that way.

Charging....presently @ 29%

Battery backup is still great. I got bootloop when I tried xposed earlier but I think it's because I flashed piles of stuff together .


Tomorrow I will upload custom boot image and boot animation for Jiayu S3

Valentinooo:
my system is not detecting my phone. And I av installed Vcom. Though I think the Vcom is not properly installed but I followed ur process. Any help for me?

Your VCOM drivers were not installed properly like you rightly said. Download USB deview to remove all USB drivers, then install VCOM drivers following the steps from Post 1.

RILI BEEN LONG I CAME AROUND HIA....

What is the name of your clock widget

swisscarter:
Lol what initialise meant by "Wtf" was that dljbd1 said he "Port" an android 5.0 ROM....AND NO ONE CAN PORT AN ANDROID 5.0 ROM..YOU CAN ONLY BUILD FROM SCRATCH/CREATE YOURS ONLY THROUGH GOOGLE AOSP LOLLIPOP SOURCE CODES OR CYANOGEN SOURCE......

Lol Swiss that's like dljbd1 trademark in Jiayu group

melya:
Any guru's following this thread in Abuja? need to update my advance. My system crashes

Let's talk on Whatsapp

dljbd1:
Alright, I'm glad to inform the members of the public that I have successfully ported to lollipop thanks to the bravery Kurupt01 who was, as far as I can remember, the 1st to attempt the transition. I can't forget the likes of initialize, Stancity, and a host of others who I met on the whatsapp group (Kingsley, Aigbe, Emperor, etc). Sadly, I don't have their NL username, I would cc them. Thank you all...you guys are the best. Oh....hw can I forget Necky

Now about the lollipop...so far I've not noticed any bug. Wifi, bluetooth, camera (which is amazingly clearer than KK IMO), and sound all seem to be working fine.

I'll keep observing and drop updates on my experience.

Finally, thanks.

Emperor = Kurupt01 . There is front camera bug . it shows red

Lordaweezy:
Can vcom drivers also read mtk droid tools??

Sure

Lordaweezy:
Need help....after I installed vcom it didn't read mY phone on connection I also have PDA.net installed...hope its not the one affecting it

P.S I use win 8.1 and have already disable the verification

Uninstall the PDA.net, disable driver verification, install Vcom drivers. Viola you're good to go

[quote author=melya post=34718873][/quote]The procedure is for both versions

dljbd1:
Did it at last....

So proud of myself mehn

Oya...next procedure is how to flash playstore, superuser, and the recovery.

Really grateful mehn

Extract the downloaded recovery, open SP flash tools, click on load scatter loading files >>> select Android_Scatter file after it loads unselect all, then click on the recovery box>>> navigate to the extracted recovery image >>> hit download

Then connect your switched off phone.

Now you've sucssfully flashed TWRP for lollipop , next via recovery click on install >>> navigate to the location of the downloaded Gapps from the link above>>> swipe to instal. Same for SU , install the update zip from the link above . and you're good to go

dljbd1:
Mehn...this is awesome. Thanks for the tutorials as you promised.

A quick question, I use a win7 64bit system. Do I still need to install the Mediatek's Preloader USB VCOM driver
? I already have Adb driver.

Thanks

I saw you've already rectified this .... for others you can just install the Vcom drivers using the procedure but no need to disable drivers verification

dljbd1:
Should I say 1st to comment

LOL sure boss. I was just about to share the link to your post "The official Jiayu S3 thread"

Due to request by the gods from the Jiayu Whatsapp group am creating a thread to help those who are yet to upgrade their Jiayu S3 to 5.1 .

Disclaimer I am not responsible for any damage . Ask your questions I will try to respond to them ASAP.

First things first install MTK USB Vcom drivers.

For PC running windows 7 use Adb driver installer. (Google it).

For Windows 8 and above Microsoft has restricted Unsigned drivers installations so first disable driver verification on windows 8- 10.

Go to PC Settings from the Start menu >> Update and Recovery >> Recovery.

Under Advanced Startup, click on Restart Now.

Your PC will do a kind of reboot and go to a blue Choose an option screen. Click on Troubleshoot (refresh or reset your PC or use advanced tools) >> Advanced Options >> Startup Settings (change windows startup behaviour) >> Restart.

Your PC will now restart and go to yet another blue screen with 10 options. Press 7 or F7 on your keyboard to select Disable driver signature enforcement.

Your computer will auto restart again and then you can now proceed with the installation of Mediatek's Preloader USB VCOM driver

Go to Device Manager >> Action >> Add Legacy Hardware

Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list and click Next >>> Select Show All Devices and hit Next


In the next screen, click on Have Disk in the bottom right corner and then navigate to the drivers you extracted to your computer.

The drivers are located in the Windows 7 folder. For 64 bit PC choose usb2ser_Win764.inf and for 32 bit PC make use of usb2ser_Win7.inf then click OK

Once the driver loads, select MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port in the next screen and click on next.

An error in red that says Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software will pop up. Select Install this driver anyway and the installation of the MediaTek Preloader driver will start.

Now you can proceed to flashing your MTK based Android phone with ease using SP Flash Tool.

After successful installation, I got the error – This device cannot start. (Code 10)
simply ignored them as and run SP Flash Tool



To upgrade to lollipop is quite straight forward. After successfully installing Vcom drivers next download and extract Smart Phone flash tools (latest version) . also download and extract the lollipop Rom .

Open flash_tool.exe a prompt dialog with display alerting you that there is no scatter file, click OK

Select scatter loading file>>> next navigate to the location of the extracted Rom open and then select the Android Scatter file it will be the only file there.

Goto option >>> connection >>> High-speed.

Select Firmware Upgrade from the drop down option and click download.

Now connect your switched off Jiayu S3 via USB cable. Wait for the process to complete you'll see OK

Backup you phone data and maybe even create a Nandroid backup in case you decide to revert back to KitKat ( I wonder who would)

waiting for them to release twrp for lollipop before I flash .. cause I no get PC

There is a TWRP for lollipop but you can't flash an upgrade like that. The system partition is different

When will our dear Nigeria produce sensible critics that have the plight of common Nigerians at heart? I weep for my dear country. People start spreading propaganda everywhere.
