It has been mentioned that the new Jiayu G2S has screen problems (G3 had also screen problems for the first batch). More specific, if you touch the screen while it is scrolling, it goes crazy. Jiayu is distributing a new ROM that solves this problem. You have to visit Jiayu's forum, join the site and then you have to wait 24hr to reply to the specific thread and download the ROM. I am currently waiting for my phone to arrive but I prefer to be proactive :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Has anyone solve this problem yet? I heard that the phone has SU by default. Does it mean that it is already rooted? How can I enter recovery mode and install the new ROM in this phone?
I am sorry for all these questions but I am new at this...

I have bought a UMi X1 from china, am in UK and using giffgaff sim... being playing with the phone since yesterday .. managed to get the internet working by putting giffgaff APN manually, tried to install custom ROM, but all in Chinese, even after you change the language there are still things left in Chinese, so i went back and installed the original ROM phone had. changed the language... phone is quite good, i like the screen and speed is very good as well.
managed to install other apps like Google map, chrome, Skype, and some game.. all work good, but when ever i install them some Chinese permission thing comes up, which i don't understand, but i think i keep clicking green tick and it works
I managed to root it using "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460" tried super user and it works (not sure what benefit i get from rooting, sorry am a noob)
I followed instruction for custom roms from "http://www.gizchina.com/2012/10/28/download-install-umi-x1-custom-rom/", still all Chinese.
if any one have a question regarding this phone usage or any other information they required am willing to answer from my experience of this phone.
I would like to know if any one would be willing to develop a clean miui English ROM or jelly bean for this device? or any one willing to help me to develop a ROM ( would need alot of help as i don't know single thing about developing, but keen to learn).
Hi !
Sorry to not answer to your request but i have one question about this phone that i want to buy. The camera is good? In reality it's a 5MP no? Because it's hard to find review about this phone, i know that is a good phone but nothing about the camera. Sorry for my bad english and thanks
UMI X1 roms
I'm also looking for information to root . But also need a rom . Have you got Clockword mod recovery installed ? Please can some one help us to install CWM recovery to UMI X1. Can we use any other rom developed for other MTK6577 phones as this phone also has MK6577 processor.
Any one interested can look one of first article on this topic in English here . Search gizbeat custom rom in google
For a review and video of phone see following: search in google: exclusive-umi-x1-unboxing-and-hands-on

yea, i have done so much to my phone in 1 day, i used shuame tool to install custom roms but kept getting errors, so i installed it manually by going into recovery mod. i installed CWM through google play, but dont know much how to use it, by the looks of it, it not supported with this phone yet. i am on gizchina aswell and asked same question there aswell.
looks like no one is intrested....
how to get some one attention on this?
finally there's a thread about umi (youmi) x1 on xda-dev
i haven't received my phone yet, 7 days using EMS and still in BEIJING seller said because China held presidential election ? so security tighten

there's also rom link on shuame.com but i don't know wether it's also had english language or not , there's also a custom rom for x1 at lewaos.com
I have received my Umi x1,love it but having real trouble flashing the Umi rom,still cant give up.Hoping others will buy phone with more intelligence than me and post,fingers crossed.
I used this method to ROOT:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I tried about all the ROMs from Shaume.com
Without keeping track of procedure.. did a lot of flashing and factory reset
I don't know any chinese, so i just pressed buttons with icons I thought would do the job (with the risk of doing something wrong and brick the phone)
There are a few mods wit CWM, so once that one is installed flashing is pretty straightforward.
I'm having trouble to get a GPS fix (the Netherlands).
After trying many different gps.conf files (/etc/gps.conf) and different apps (GPS Status, GPS Test, GPSFix), Manually download EPO files..
Result: 1 time GPS fix with GPS fix.. but thats it
Anyone a bit more luck with the GPS fix?
Something that might be handy:
Boot into recovery: turn off phone first -> hold volume up and then power on phone. release both when UMI logo shows.
Engeneer Mode: "call" *#*#3646633#*#*

Will get mine tomorrow, it's just cleared customs. I'll probably do a custom ROM too, but it might take time as I'm having exams till the 26th of this month.
Also, I suggest OP to change the title of this thread to '[discussion] UMI X1' or something like that. Thanks.

You can do it too, click on 'edit post' and then 'go advanced'. Or maybe a new thread can be started too.
Thanks.

Hey guys how is everything.
So i messed up...i rooted my device and went to root menu and by mistake pressed on touch screen update and since that time my touchscreen stopped working. i didnt flash anything and i dont know anything about flashing or roms etc all i know is that i rooted my device.
mine is 801 version of the lg g2
Please let me know what to do...the phone cost a lot
Hi there!!
I found several threads about touchscreen issues, but nothing that seems to suit your particular situation.
I suggest you take some time and read through screen related threads here....in the LG G2 Q&A section....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help?nocache=1&z=2174868085421621
There's several if you keep looking.
And if nothing helps, start a thread and explain your issue in the section I linked above.
Good luck!
This is similar...but with samsung...
how can i do it for the lg g2

Never flash anything that isn't for your device and exact model. Unless reliable sources say it is OK.
Just browse through the touchscreen threads in the link I gave you. Some things to try in some of those.
Or post your question there, ask the people that know your device best.
Hi,
This is Sreehari. I have been sing Gionee Elife E3 from October last year. First 3-4 months it worked without any problem.. But after that, it started to have frequently signal strength problems..
Frequently the signal bars goes from full to cross very fast. I cannot make a call at that time, but if I put the same SIM in another phone there is no problem. Even rebooting the phone doesn't solve the issue. many of my friends started to say that it is impoosible to get me on the phone most of the time..
Then I gave it to the service center and they flashed it.. It worked well from that point for around 2 weeks, then the problems started again.. after that I started flashing it on my own.. I installed the Chinese firmware to install custom ROMs (for Indian firmware custom ROMs were not available till recently) to see how it goes.. I tried the ColorOS over the Chinese firmware and things felt alright for around 2 weeks again.. now the problems started again and more severe than ever.. the phone is practically useless now that it cannot be relied at all..
I completely annoyed and puzzled by these.. if it is a firmware problem how does it go away after flashing and return after sometime? Could it be a problem with the radio/modem software?
I love this phone, it is awesome model and I don't want to leave it.. can anyone help me? I am not an Android developer but I do have some knowledge on flashing, recovery, backups etc. I can post any screenshot or logs as needed.
PS: I have a doubt on its wi-fi range as well since that also seems to drop very fast, not completely sure though..

Since we do not have a forum for this device, may I suggest posing in Android General so that one of the expert may help you ?

thanks for the response. Will do post there..
I'm a complete newbie in the Android world (iPhone user), so I'm so sorry in advance if I'm asking a stupid question. So today I bought an Alcatel Hero 2 from Amazon. The device hasn't arrived yet. The device has Android Kitkat on it and from some youtube review videos I knew that the customized Android version installed on the device is chubby so I thought if I can upgrade to vanilla Lollipop then the performance will improve.
There is very little information on the web about the Hero 2. I only found a webpage (can't post a link here because I'm new but google for "upgrade alcatel hero 2 lollipop" and you'll find it) that says one can upgrade to Lollipop, but it seems to be SCAM. Thus I thought it's better to ask here to get trusted answers since I don't want to get into security problems.
I know what ROMs are and have a little background but I don't know where to get trusted ROMs or if it's possible at all to upgrade my phone. I appreciate any answers.
Many thanks in advance!
Probably not, unless Alcatel comes out with its own Lollipop update or more threads appear here for Hero 2 ROMs.
The Hero 2 isn't very popular, or at least well-known, in the US. I'm surprised you even found it for purchase. Was it on the US Amazon site or a foreign version? Got a link? I was interested in a Hero 2, too, but I could never find it, and now it's getting a little long in the tooth.
Sorry this isn't the answer you wanted. Is it an all right phone overall, though? Reviews were generally favorable.
I don't think there is Lollipop rom for your device.
Hi guys,
any news about lollipop update? Im choosing between Hero 2 and LG G3, but Hero 2 is cheaper for me and it has little bit bigger screen. Any advices please?

Hi there, I managed to port a RR rom (7.1.2) for this device. If you still want to try it out let me know, I would make a thread but sadly I can't
Please, if it is not too much trouble, you can update the link

This is weird, I looked all over and cannot find any links for original flashing files, not even 4PDA.
But, the rom I ported has no sound (unless you wear headphones), and camera is not working. This was basically just an experiment on trying to port it for first time, but sadly I do not have the device anymore so I won't be able to help much. If you still want to try it, here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/rooting-roms/resurrection-remix-5-8-5-alcatel-t3913051
Meanwhile I'll try to keep looking for the original stock ROM for your device, there has to be something.
I'll let you know if I find anything.
hi i have a S2- I9100T and i tried to flash cyanogenmod 12.1 but while attempting, it failed to do it and got stuck on the screen. so i removed the battery and now it constantly boots to the recovery. . i tried a version compatible to S2- I9100 which is not the same model as mine but i read somewhere that it could work.
You will probably have to revert back to stock and try again, next time, follow the actual tutorial for your device. If not you could well run into a problem like this one. As a general rule, if you do your reading and you still have a problem, someone has had that problem before and so you can probably find your answer through more reading. I have have friends who use XDA every day and don't even have an account because most real problems are discussed.
Make sure when you post this that you are on the correct forum, you would be likely to receive more help in the S2 forums, and make sure you have your device model and the Rom you flashed in the post so they can provide more assistance.

thx you that you replied and sorry for my ignorance as i am new here and it's my first time flashing a rom. yes i have been reading through a lot but there is no thread to my model so that's why i posted here. btw, i finally solved it after hours !! damn , never thought that flashing was that frustruating. again thanks for having helped.
No worries. I used to have this device so I felt your pain.
