I heard somewhere that the G3S has the same chipset as the G4. Is that true?
If G4 ROMs don't work on it, where can I find ROMs that do?
thanks good worck

I have order it from minideal and they say that it will be rooted
order
I have ordered today from minideal too.
Let's see..
The latest firmware for the G3S is dated 20130523. That's just 2 weeks old. Andorid 4.2.1 with Kernel 3.4.5. There is nothing close from 3rd parties for the G3, so for the moment I stick with that. It's kinda hybrid with LewaOS as it seems, has the themes, launcher, some other files. Fully rooted, so it's simple to get rid of the few Chinese apps if you don't need them.
Here's the link (use Google to translate): http://bbs.ejiayu.com/thread-557884-1-1.html

Two people ordered from minideal but phones not arrived yet.
I ordered my Jiayu G3S from Aliexpress (1.06) and he should ship to me tomorrow, or day after tomorrow. After that I will report you, whats goin on
First of all GPS works perfect (some of users report gps fix issue) now everything works fine. My Jiayu ships to me with Android Jelly Bean 4.2.1, 3.4.5 Kernel, and Root Access on board. No bug as far, Antutu v3.3.1 Bench result : 12 813. My last smartphone was SGS+ and I must say Jiayu G3S got way better price/quality relationship. So far 5+ this is my rate from 1 to 6.

Cool, a G3S owner! Would you mind answering some questions about the device?
Can you please check if the compass works correctly? (Use GPS status or Google Sky map - the view of the sky should adjust according to where you're pointing the phone).
Also, shops mention the G3S has a gyroscope too. I don't know any apps that actually use it to accomplish something, only device-testing apps (Z-device test, many other, similar apps). Would you mind checking if that works?
The wired headset - I assume the bundled headset is a typical "android" one, stereo phones + mono mic + 1 button. Does the button get registered - can you control music playback (play/pause) with it when the screen is off?

Be my guest
1. Indeed compass works fine, I checked it on Google maps and Google Sky Map.
2. Yes it has gyroscope I checked it as you suggested on Z-Device.
3. And YES button is registered: I can control playback (play/pause) normally and also when the screen is off, Answering calls, Pick the last number from calls and call, make all things as you always do with android
I tried Gta3 from market, it works with full details with no lag! Dead Trigger full details - extra smooth, everything on this phone works ideal - extra smooth this is the best word to describe this device. Trust me on word.
Im still testing new things, if u have more questions? Ask me

That's great (I should have asked these before I bought my A789, which I'll be replacing with either G3S or G4 advanced)
I'm not sure what is the "standard way" for a notification LED to behave on Android, but my old Blade would start blinking green on ANY notification and blink red on low battery. I addition to that, it would stay red when charging and charge was below 90%, and stay green when charge was >90% and was plugged in.
What can the LED on the G3S do - can it also convey charging state as it does on the Blade?
Beyond the notification LED, I'm mildly interested (I assume it either works or won't be a problem to fix myself) in the following:
The ROM partitioning - how large is the /data partition (called "Internal storage, I think) and the "USB storage", if any? (The A789 has way too much USB storage and too little /data, had to flash the MBR/EBR to fix that...)
Any issues with the screen brightness? My A789 gets randomly stuck on full blast until I lock the screen.
What kind of recovery is bundled/available? Is it easy to get into with a key combination?

Considering LED notification: works fine, behavior is the same like in your Blade. I think is standard way of behave LED in android.
1. Internal storage has 4Gb and 2.5Gb for user space. U can mount Micro Sd card up to 32GB. I use 16GB micro sd card class 10.
2. Screen brightness works perfect, both in auto mode and manual mode.
3. To access recovery I am using Rom Manager, and recovery looks like in other smartphones with stock recovery.

Hello. I managed to get a hold of a Samsung Galaxy Golden (SHV-E400). I like the phone but I'm looking to get it rooted so I can remove the Korean bloatware...Now, I did my research and tried many rooting methods and they have all failed despite following the instructions (i.e. installing Android SDK, updating adb and fastboot, installing current Samsung drivers, ADB recognizes device by spitting out my serial number, USB debugging mode, changing micro-usb cables)
Using ADB Toolkit v1.5.2 (which shows my SU status: Unrooted), Device name: ks02lteskt) (<--- not sure if that's correct or not...), BOARD: MSM8960, Serial: ****b035) includes several "universal" rooting tools:
SuperOneClick: freezes at "daemon started successfully"
z4Root: crashes during the process
Original OneClick: says "phone is not connected"
DooMLoRD: lots of "the system cannot find the path specified"
UnlockRoot: says "Not any device detected"
I used Framaroot earlier on, but none of the included exploits succeeded. It just said failed and to try a different exploit...
I also used motochopper which came the closest to working as it managed to get superuser on to my phone, however, it couldn't root it and my "superuser (su) binary needs to be updated".
Now, having done my research for a solid week and pulling most of my hair and punching holes in my wall, I'm finally admitting defeat and asking/begging for help. I'm just looking for some way to get this darn phone rooted. I figured the best method is to flash a rooted ROM or a custom kernal that has root using Odin (though I'm unsure which version of Odin I should be using as I read different phones use different versions?)... but I haven't found a rooted ROM or custom kernal with root for my phone and I don't want to brick this expensive phone using the wrong one (which if I read correctly is will happen). So I would greatly appreciate it if someone might show me an alternate method? Maybe a generic or universal method that can be applied to Android 4.2.2 JDQ39? Or maybe tell me if I can use a rooted ROM or custom kernal with root from a phone that is relatively close (<---not sure about this one...)
I'm afraid I can't provide concrete info on this thing as I can't find anything official (just things from eBay sellers)...
Model Number: SHV-E400S

UPDATE: figured doing the below will brick my phone. So without an option to flash CWM Recovery, I figured I'm left with trying to use stock recovery 3e and getting it to "apply update from ADB/external storage"... I've been searching for a signed Supersu.zip/Superuser.zip/su.zip but all of the ones that I've found come back with "failed to verify whole-file signature"... Anybody know of one?
I'm curious. If I were to use Odin to flash a CWM recovery for a phone (say a Samsung Galaxy S2) that has very similar specs to mine, what would happen?
Would it be possible to port a CWM recovery file to make it work with my phone?

UPDATE! Possible Website With Root Tutorial Found
UPDATE! Possible Website With Root Tutorial Found
Stumbled across a Chinese/Korean/Japanese site (koxdaDOTcom) that has a subforum for the Samsung Golden SHV-E400 S/K/L. And there seems to be tutorials for rooting (I believe Google Translates it as "brush"). There are also ROMs and a one click program that I'd like to try out, but you have to be registered to the forums to download. Which wouldn't have been an issue, except there's a "Verification Code" section of the registration that generates a random picture of some Asian language characters that you have to type in to prove you're human.... And I can't read them! So if someone is interested, please register and download it and let us know if it works! I'll continue poking around as well... :highfive:
It works!
Hey all,
Based on the above Chinese website I was finally able to root the SHV-E400S by using Odin to flash a custom rom. This is the only known way that I recall to root the phone. Of course by doing this you lose the stock rom so I was unable to back it up.
A couple things I noticed in the stock rom:
- Only able to utilize 3G network, no LTE (AT&T)
- My original model phone in settings changed from SHV-E400S to SHV-E400K
After flashing the rom, my phone was able to use H and H+ network. While this is not LTE speeds, it is still a definite improvement. I also noticed the English S-Voice assistant gave me a "Limited Features" error since this was a Chinese rom. Just a heads up for those of you who plan to resort to this.

You can try it downloading from h...s://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_LzOjvUsn4ddXQyZWtmNGdwcDA/edit?pli=1
It must be flashed from SP-Flash-Tool-MTK6572, Mobileuncle MTK Tools doesn't work correctly (remember, i take no responsability for any kind of brick/damage do it at your own risk).

Hi
DG300 has the same specs of the P9 so the rom might work. what you think?
P9 and roaming
Hi SAS007, I just got my P9 today and I can't make any calls at all. I am with T-Mobile, put my sim in, switched on and all the T-Mobile settings came up Access Point Name, etc. I also get an 'r' on the signal indicator which I believe means roaming. Every time I try to make a call, I get a message saying that roaming isn't enabled. Have you had any similar issues? If so, how did you manage to get around them?
Many thanks.

Hi mate.dont worry about the roaming thing.I noticed this on my device also.
when i went to make my first call i got the message that i was roaming etc..just okay it and use as normal the roaming R icon dissipated after a while.If your in the UK you can not have any problems roaming makes no difference...
Also in your data/network settings in the part for preferred networks select automatically choose/select network.

Great phone affordable price
Hi. I got mine from ebay and cost me about £70. I must say I didn't expected that but it is a great phone and still can not believe its price. I have no problems so far. It accepted my two sim cards straight away, my main one being on the Three UK network. The internet is much more faster than my previous Xperia Arc S. The battery life is great too. All day making calls and browsing the internet playing games etc. and still have got some left by the evening when I get home. This phone is a big joy and very affordable for students on a budget.
Have you guys tried flashing Android 4.4 KitKat stock ROM on the Cubot P9? I suspect that would increase battery life with 20% to 25%. If yes let me know please I would appreciate that.
Cheers
preloader.bin
Hello,
Could a kind soul dump and upload his cubot P9 preloader.bin ?
Tried the doogee ROM, screen was weird / all messed up so I reinstalled the stock rom at the top of this thread. The phone is half bricked now: phone starts only to show a blinking screen, in recovery or normal mode. SP Flash Tool is still working though.
I read that erasing the preloader on a MTK6572W can be messy, on some devices there appears to be some fixes. (Xolo A500s for example, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46735224)
I hope there's a solution for the P9 as well..
Thanks in advance!

managed to flash a custom recovery (rua1 autoCWM v5.5.0.4 for CUBOT P9)
Thing is it acts weird: whole lines are shaking, when I go up / down it goes directly from 1st line to the 3rd etc
I guess the LCD driver on my P9 is different (brand new P9, sticker inside says its from march 2014).
I would gladly appreciate it if someone could upload a full ROM dump of a similar P9.
Thanks,
tieum
Have you tried search the ROM on needrom?
There are some dumps of the original ROM over there.

Yes it is! But I still wait. I hope monday its received.
Only the big battery from MugenPower or CameronSino (6400mAh) has other connectors (only an a other place).
All other is going on with P6S.

PS: @digitalac: I saw on your antutu-pictures it is OS 4.3.1? It is allrigth? How do you updated this, per OTA?
Its the same language-version? (multilanguage)

I bought from Banggood.com, and received with 4.3.1 multilanguage. This phone can be rooted with Root Genius.
Before root must be this installed on pc to be recognized.

First time poster!!
Bought this phone and received it the other day.
I can't get USB OTG working though. I downloaded OTG checker and it failed, saying it is not OTG enabled.
Anyone able to get it working??
Also, a little annoyance, has anyone noticed that there is:
1) No way to stop the virbrating when typing sms/ internet address/ search - basically any typing is haptic touch vibrations. I can't find how to turn this off
2) If an sms is received, the screen does not light up, no lights flash to say a message was received so unless I open the screen, I would never know an sms was received. Same goes for email.
Has anyone found a way around these issues?
Thanks

Hi digitalac,
No, I already unticked the box when I got the phone but it doesn;t change the problem.
I still have haptic vibrating when typing anywhere on the phone (Internet browser, email, sms etc)
Do you have this problem?

audio problem
thanks for this thread ,
I bought elephone p6s 2 weeks ago , it is amazing except 2 problems that make me unhappy with this phone . I wish you can solve these problems to me .
first , the audio volume is too low to hear , i set all audio setting to maximum but the volume still low . Even I can not hear any incoming calls as ringtone volume is too low I should make the speaker close to my ear to hear it , I tried many applications from play store to enhance volume butall are useless , I can not hear any mp3 file or video file when i play it , i tried many players like vlc and winamp and mobo player , all are useless . I google this problem and I found many people complain from this audio problem in many other phones which have android 4.3.1 , I bought elephone p6s with 4.2.2. but when I received it I found that it hase android 4.3.1. installed , I googled for ROM 4.2.2 but I did not found even in needrom.com , they publish a rom describing it as 4.2 but when I downloaded it and Flash it I found that it is the same 4.3.1 ROM ,Realy I am disappointed and I do not know How can I solve this horrible problem .
second , The camera . It supposed to be 8MP but i the quality is not so good , the quality is of 5 MP cameras .
I'd also like to say thank you for this thread. How would any of you owners of this device rate its wifi reception, compared to other phones?
A few days ago, I went to sleep and, as usual, I left my phone charging. In the morning, it didn't show any signs of life. It doesn't boot, no matter what. I supposed it's hard bricked.
I haven't changed any ROMs recently, so it could be a hardware issue but I have no way of checking. The computer recognizes it as a MediaTek Usb Port and the little red light lights up when charging.
What I've tried to do to fix this:
-Multiple combinations of button pressing and battery removal/insertion.
[*]-Charging battery with a battery charger.
[*]-Flashing stock rom with SP Flash Tool (Here is where it gets tricky):
I can't, no matter what, flash a ROM. Different versions of Flash Tools show different errors. The most recent shows error 4001. Some errors that also appear are 3186 and 8046. On one version I got it to do the EMMC Test and it shows that both EMMC and NAND Flash are not detected . Does it mean that there is a problem with the EMMC chip?

If someone could help me, I don't really know what else to try. I'll kindly provide any further information needed.
Thanks in advance.
(I'll do it once again, because when you want to reply to a post and you're not logged in, they tell you to log in first AFTER you've clicked on "Post Quick Reply", and your reply is gone...)
Did you store the ROM on your PC, or on the memory card? Also, did you check the latest ROM posted for your device on Needrom? (Here: https://www.needrom.com/download/miui-9-1-rotabator-miui-9-2-2-0-a806-808t/)
I stored it on my PC. Since I can't boot my phone, flashing a Rom using any kind of recovery is useless. I only tried 2 or 3 stock ROMs.
Worth a try anyway, if you ask me. ?

What do you mean? There's no way to flash using recovery, I can't get into recovery mode. Unless you're saying to try a different ROM, which I now have done, and with the same results.
Try to replace the battery
Or simply remove it, then put it back into place. It seems to me that your bootloader is damaged, though. Provided your phone comes into the "soft brick" category, have you tried all the suggestions offered in this article?

I've tried using an old battery that I had (it didn't work well, but it did work) and no success.

I tried everything that I could in that article. I'll probably just give up and buy a new one.
Could be that the battery controller is toast. Maybe there was a power surge when you left to charge overnight, and your phone didn't like it. If it's a hardware problem, and given the age of your phone, buying a new one is probably the best option.

That's exactly my thought. Sending it to repair is not worth it by now.
