Bricked Jiayu S3 Advanced help! - JiaYu S3 Questions & Answers

Yesterday i flashed my Jiayu S3 to lolipop (i tought) and i just bricked my phone!
After reboot it was just dead.. when i plug into pc with USB i hear the connect sound and after 2 seconds the disconnect sound. This keeps on going until i pull the USB plug. When i look in DeviceManager i see it refresh after every sound, but nothing pops up (unknown device or whatever). I deletet all usb drivers with usbdeview, restart pc but still no changes.
I tried with or without battery, but without it does nothing at all.. i tried holding Vol+ or - or both or with power button, but nothing.
Read some threads about unbrick and install correct usb driver for jiayu s3, but all the options they came with does not work on my device!
I'm a little despered now and don't know what to do.. i get the feeling that my 2 weeks old phone is dead? :'(
My pc has windows 7
Did the flash with SP Flashtool 5.1516
Did not untick preload in flashtool, i guess i got the wrong preload or something??
Please help!

Just flash it again, but this time with "Firmware upgrade " in SP Flashtool instead of "Download". Change from KK to LL needs reepartitioning, so firmware upgrade.
The reason why you don´t "see" the S3 any longer on the pc is, that the USB storage mode from KK, which is driverless for windows, don´t work right now on LL.
Once flashed to LL you will need to install a driver, for windows to connect to the S3.

@ Dior DNA:
No i can't. Phone does nothing with the buttons. Only diference if i hold Vol - then time from connect sound and disconnect sound is a little longer.. about 10 seconds. But still nothing happens.
@1testi:
Flashtools can't see my phone. I tried it a hundred times. With battery, without battery, with Vol - and with Vol +.
When i connect the USB cable i hear the connect sound and after 2 a 3 seconds i hear disconnect sound. This goes on and on until i pull the USB cable out. In devicemanager i see a refresh going on, but nothing pops up.
I'm realy despered on what to do now?

Why the SP Flashtool isn´t working any longer? You didn´t deinstalled the driver, did you? Just try to flash again with "Firmware Upgrade".
I don´t know a way to reinstall the driver in windows without the preloader. The only thing you can do, as far as i know, is to use a linux
pc to flash again. Linux don´t need a driver for SPF, only some rules.

Booting into recovery or flashtool I meant regardless of pc and/or spflashtool.
If I recall correctly:
hold volup and power boots recovery
hold voldn and power boots flashtool
If you can boot recovery then which one is it? Maybe you can restore something or manually flash preloader bin from there.

After the flash i reboot and then the connect and disconnect sound appears. So i tried differend things, but could not connect. I wanted to flash again, but flashtool did not reconice the phone and nothing in DeviceManager. That's why i thought to remove the driver and try to re-install it. But that did not help..
Holding Vol - or + button with power button or both Vol buttons with power button does nothing.. i tried to hold all combinations at least 30 seconds, but nothing at all.
I have no Linux pc or any knowhow to make a Linux pc.. or a pc to install Linux on..

One last thing you can try: remove the battery, wait a little, insert the battery again. Hold vol+ key, keep holding it and press power
button, while still holding the vol+. If you don´t see anything happening then you bricked the phone.
You will need help from a professional or at least from someone with a linux machine, sorry.

I'll try that.
You have any idea what could have caused the brick?

As i wrote above, moving from KK to LL with wrong parameter "Download" in SPF.
....and a not working recovery.

You should try this method :
darmowyinternet.net/forum/temat-poradnik-jak-uruchomic-uceglony-telefon-po-wgraniu-zlego-romu-test-point_383
unfortunately you have to translate before

Ok i tried that site with google translate and i could a little make up what they are saying.
But that is a very drastically operation, and i would like to give it some other tries before dismantling my phone.
So i googled and googled.. came here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128
Had enough electronics lying around from my former 27mc hobby, so searched for the right resistors,
cut up a micro usb cable and give it a try... well.. nothing! Tried for about an hour and gave up.
Then i googled on Unbrick Jigs, but for what i read they are only for Samsung phones, so i gues the trick
with the resistors were also?
So googling again... came here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2454004
Reading the tread and the comments, someone mentioned a download for "Mediatek Driver Auto Installer".
Downloaded that and installed the drivers. Plugged in my phone and... whoohoo!! Something is happening! :silly:
My devicemanager saw an "Alcatel single RNDIS interface". I unplugged and plugged my phone a few times to
be sure it was my phone. Sooo... one step further! :good:
Then i googled on this device.. came up with all sorts of network devices, not helpfull. Then googled on Jiayu with
this device. Came up with this tread: https://www.china-devices.com/topic...vcomm-drivers-onto-your-pc-win-7vistaxp-only/
It's a tread about bricked Jiayu G3 devices, but i thought, 'What the heck, lets give it a try!'.
I downloaded the "MTK Megapack - All Tools Here!" and unpacked. Wend back to device manager and manually updated the driver
of the Alcatel device. Show all devices - browse - wend to Megapack map and there were MTK drivers for the 65xx device.
And yess.. when i plug in my phone there's the device: " MTK USB Port (COM7) "
SP Flashtools sees my phone again! :good:
Tried to flash a stock preloader, but got an error: "BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) – [EMI] Enable DRAM failed!"
But for now that's a problem for tomorrow.. it's almost 2:30 and i have to got some sleep!
(sorry for the misspellings or telling things not clear, i'm tired and english is not my main language)

Grats!
You can google the error. This leds you in the right direction.

It's alive!!!!!! :laugh::silly::victory:
Because the kitkat stockrom i downloaded gave me the same error over and over i searched for something else.
So i downloaded TF Extreme lolipop 5.1 this morning and give it a try. And all went well. I pulled the usb plug and
pushed power button.. only vibration but nothing. Then pulled the battery and after few seconds put it back in
and try power again. Only 1 vibration.. then tried Vol + and - combinations but nothing. (dammn!)
Then plug the usb in and i saw the battery icon.. it was total empty! (because of a week trying).
So now it's charging and i hope it starts, can't wait!!
Thanx all for the effort in helping me out! :good:
Edit: Ok, so i could not wait and hit power! It shows green screen with Jiayu S3 logo and text "New Load". So i guess it's prepairing for first startup!

my s3 basic is not charging when on.. also when connected to pc thru usb, ipc shows device malfunctioning ,and there is no indication on phone..I try to connect to sp flash tool also no success..same error"usb device not recognized pops up every 2s.everything else is fine..Any method to upgrade to 5.1 now on official kk

Kinda need help, happened something similar
It happened something similar to me.
I flashed the whole ROM, bootloader included, I was very sure that my model, Jiayu S3 3GB ROM + 32GB RAM, was the correct, but still bricked my phone.
There's no problem at all when I plug it into my PC, I installed the lastest MTK drivers on windows 10, having to disable the signature enforcement.
The problem comes when I start flashing. I only mark the bootloader, then I press "Download" (on the lastest version of SP Flash Tools), and plug the phone, with the battery in it (I've tried without battery, pressing all possible combinations and does nothing), when I plug it in with the battery and pressing no buttons, the driver is detected as MTK USB Port. That's a good thing I guess. But It does not pass from the red bar, and gives me the known error "Enable DRAM Failed".
I've tried to google any possible solutions, reinstalling other version of the MTK drivers, on different versions of Windows, with other versions of official ROMs, and the result is always the same.
The only thing that's left to try is flashing it with an Ubuntu machine, which is something I do not expertise to be honest, but I'm gonna gather some info and try to do it.
However, if someone has any idea of what I might be doing wrong (excluding the part when I flashed the bootloader, I'll never do it again), I would be really grateful for any kind of help.
Thank you!

Oeps it might be the same problem with the 32GB version as I have.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68036678&postcount=295
I am waiting for a stock ROM backup.
I have learned to never flash the original preloader again.

You're right, with the 32GB rom version (which is still unavaliable for public use) it worked! I still got it here, so anyone feel free to ask me the link too.

also, i can't charge it via PC nor the power supply(i have tried using moto's one and a unofficial power supply)
but the most wired thing is i can charge it via an"portable battery"

Have you tried the boot loader mode (forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy):
---------------------------------
How to get rsdlite to recognise a phone that won't boot
You flashed, something happened, now screen is black, phone doesn't react, u are in a boot loop, rsdlite cant recognize the phone. you're right here.
To get RSDLIte to recognize your phone you have to enter boot loader mode. this means press VOL-UP + POWER If nothing helps, try pushing VOL UP before!' you put the battery in (RSDLIte should be running and awaiting a new connection at that time) If you are using Windows 7, try seting RSDLite to "compatibility mode: Windows XP SP3".
i have tested the connection in bootmenu and RSDLITE not able to recognize my phone
any ideas?
Hello
Please somebody help me. My notebook doesn't recognise my DEFY via USB. More details: When I got the phone it worked but after a while not always. Sometimes it connected 5 minutes later but nowadays doesn't work at all. By the power charger it's charging normally.
When it's plugged to the computer, the phone's screen lights up, but doesn't connect or charge. If I tick on/off meanwhile the USB debug, the USB sign shows up but it's still not charging or connecting. (I've already tried all 4 options)
Moreover when I remove the USB cable, the USB signal doesn't disappear until I restart the phone or abort the USB in the application manager.
I've already tried to install or uninstall the driver (Moto Helper) but didn't help.
The main problem is that if I connect the phone to the notebook, the device manager doesn't see it. (I tried different computers, Win XP and Win 7)
I did a factory reset several times but nothing happened.
I think there was an automatic software update and maybe the problem started at this time.
This is my first Android phone and I'm not an expert so I really need your help.
I wanted to install a new ROM but the RSD lite doesn't see the phone neither in Bootloader mode. It says: "Connect USB Data Cable" and when I connect it says: "USB" so recognises something.
I'm trying to fix it for weeks but I can't find to solution.
System version: 34.177.3.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Build no: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-3
Win7 x64
Sorry about my English and thank you for your help.
I didn't mean bootmenu tommy, BOOTLOADER MODDE: press VOL-UP + POWER, try pushing VOL UP before! to get RSDLIte to recognize your phone(RSDLIte should be running and awaiting a new connection at that time)
---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------
Hey poross, I guess that your problem seems like a virus activity or maybe a faulty USB cable. Try another USB cable and another PC (with a good antivirus running, indeed!). Before connecting to the new PC, reset your defy...
I just hope it helps. If not, maybe your defy has a hardware problem...
If you are using windows 7 make sure that you installed good drivers for system x86/x64. I'm using RSD on Windows 7 X64 and I have no problems with it. Check in device manager for some unknown devices after plug phone to USB. If system wont see any new device after plugging it wont be driver problem but something wrong with phone, usb cable or usb port. Even if driver fails system should see the phone like unknown device or something.

actually,i am in bootloader(versoin 9.10) and rsdlite still not able to detect my phone =..=
but i notice that when i plugged it in,the phone showed "transfer mode USB"
but nothing happened in rsdlite,no info of device properties.....
what the hell.....
To tommy:
Let's make a conclusion:
1-You have the correct drivers but RSDLite doesn't recognize your phone even in the bootloader mode
2-The charger can't charge your battery
3-The portable battery CAN charge it! (So the phone connector has no problem)
So: It is most likely that you've got a faulty usb cable
Thanks for dealing with my problem
Chamelleon: The device manager doesn't see anything while the cable is plugged but the phone detects something -probably the USB power- but doesn't connect at all. It happpens in the bootloader mode as well so detects the USB cable but it seems that the phone doesn't send sign to the computer. I haven't had any problem with USB detection, connection (except this phone) for a long time.
MMarv: You mean there's a virus on the phone? if it's the situation, installing a virusbuster to the phone could solve it? Which one is a good prog?
I tried with 3 different cables and still not working. With the wall plug charger and the car's USB socket are ok but none of them charges from the notebook.

I mean Virus on your laptop. Hard reset your phone and try another PC with a good anti-virus installed!
So if cable is ok, usb port in pc and phone is ok it must be driver problem. Delete all what appears as Motorola driver including drivers from system32 and then install it again. You can also try to install it on different PC with 32 bit system. Do not install any unknown drivers, just install Motorola Media Link or Motorola Software Update cause if you have this one and some different it can be problem. Or you just have something wrong with system. First try on different pc with drivers from MML or MSU.
Succeeded.
The solution was incredibly simple. It was strange when I did a factory reset (4 times) and rebooted the phone it restored my acccounts, shortcuts, settings. I ticked off two things: settings/Privacy/Back up my data and Automatic restore. Then took out battery then I put it back and began the reset. After it the phone forgot really everything of my details and now the USB is working perfectly.

however,i have 2ndinit installed

so will it cause any problem?
Hey Tommy,
I nearly bricked my defy, and the battery was low too. RSDite not able to recognize it. It seemed that charger can't charge the battery either. But I was wrong. The charger was actually charging the battery. I removed the back cover with the charger connected and the battery in place. I tested the two outer connectors of the battery with a voltmeter (when the battery is in place, they are slightly exposed). Initially the voltage was about 3 volts and steadily increased... Test it if you can. If it is not charging, I bet that it is a phone connector problem. You should return it and I think they can repair it easily...
Hi Tommy1994
First I'm not an expert, this is my first android phone.
My probelm was (I think) an android error. I made factory reset 4 times but it always restored my details. (It's not a perfect FR). After it I did a bit different FR:
-1. in the normal android/ settings menu/Privacy/Back up my data -thick off. So it won't make any backup
-2. swich off the phone
-3. take the battery out for 30sec then put back
-4. press the volume down and hold it while you press the power on button but hold the volume down for more 4 sec. you will see an android robot with an exclamation mark.
-5. press the volume up and down together that's how you enter to the Recovery menu.
-6. first chose the "Wipe cache partition" (you can move with the volume buttons and select with the power button) -wait till "Cache wipe complete"
-7. then chose the "Wipe data/factory reset" - wait till "Data wipe complete"
-8. after these chose the "Reboot system now"
-9. if your phone doesn't want to start just get the battery out for 30sec and take back.
note: you will lose everything of your personal details, installed apps...
note2: it's my FROYO's (android 2.2.2) menu probably yours is different
Sorry for my English, hope you understand though.
hope this helps
If your are trying to connect on windows vista or 7 I think you must be loged on as admin of the computer. I had same problem but when I used windows XP it worked fine this is for rsd lite
going to try ,i really hope it will help
thx
i have flashed cm7 and still not able to connect it to PC
i am quite sure it is not software problem, maybe it is about the USB cable?
is that possible the USB cable can charge but not able to transfer data?
hi tommy1994 ,
i'm having the same problem as you, when i'm in the bootloader screen the rds lite program don't find my defy...
have you found any solution?
Thank you very much

[Q] I'm SO LOST PLEASE HELP!

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.
what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.

I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.
Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.
I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

No there is no problem with your USB cord or port. You need to do following steps.

No USB connectivity and phone is soft-bricked

Hello everybody, I own an Xperia XC and a couple of months ago I’ve rooted it and I flashed 34.1.A.1.198 firmware, Advanced Stock Kernel and TWRP-recovery. All worked fine, until two weeks ago it lost suddenly the USB connectivity. I tried different USB-cables on different PC’s but neither the phone, nor the PC’s act in any way. Even in fastboot- or flashmode it doesn’t appear in the device manager of the PC’s. I made for a couple of times factory reset, I even changed the phone’s USB charging port with a new one, but nothing changed. I could load the phone only over a power strip with USB-power-supply. I tried to flash the firmware 34.1.A.1.198 again using flashfire (I made a pre-rooted .zip-file with PRFCreator) but now I get a boot-loop. The phone starts till Sony-Logo and after a few seconds it turns off and boots again. Trying to get in recovery mode has no effect (pressing volume up or down and Power-button).
Has anyone any idea, how can I solve this problem? Is there any possibility to make a hard reset without USB-connection?
man why did mess with your phone when you knew you cant use usb connection???
try this: press all buttons and hold them to turn the phone off then try to get access to twrp(or any recovery on your phone) then use a usb type-c flash memory with your phone to flash another zip and hopefully just bring the phone back to life

Thanks for your ansver Kianush, but it seems the phone can't handle any connected devices at the USB-port. Besides of that, when I try to connect it in flash- or fastboot mode, the LED goes green or respectively blue, but none of my PC's doesen't recognize it as a connected device in any way.
I tested the PC connection with an other Xperia XC (my daughter's), it worked without any problems. It was shown in the dewice manager as an "SOMC Flash Device".
It seems like some USB-kernel drivers are lost (?)
I think an option could be using s1tool, but I don't find something for Xperia XC and I don't know yet where the testpoint is for this phone.

Leeco Le S3 X626 Bricked (red light)

Hi, yesterday I tried to unlock my bootloader however it said failed and after that the phone wouldn't turn on at all. I've tried holding power, power and + volume, power and - volume and all buttons at once nothing works. The only sign of life was when it was connected to my PC via USD or plugged in the charger. I've tried a bunch of things including some written on this forum, however errors keep occuring or it won't work at all.
I've installed the MTK drivers and tried to use Flash Tool however it keeps giving me the error "brom cmd send da fail" and the program stops responding after that until I unplug the USB
One post also mentioned a "fix" for the disconnect problem (Device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting) but got another error there saying that the driver has no certificate.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance
My phone was the same. Enter device manager and as soon as you plug your phone in you should see it appear under the ports section, then right click and update the driver to the media tek preloader. My phone was unrecognised and kept getting a yellow exclamation mark in the usb controller section, and the only way i got round that was holding the volume up button then connecting the phone, then installed the driver. Now though I`m stuck in a constant bootloop of the logo screen

Hold the power button at least one minute , begin the download on sp flash and just after that connect to computer
It worked for me

Phone not recognized in Fastboot / Download

Three days ago, my phone went off by itself and I had a hard time starting again, it was just loading the bootanimation, I tried to reinstall the ROM, but it did not go into TWRP, although the message Recovery appears on the screen, I insisted and after several attempts, I got into the recovery, formatted everything and I installed the AICP ROM again, and I had to restart,my phone freezes in the LeEco bootloader, then again I insisted until the ROM finally started, but soon realized that it was taking too long to start (30 minutes waiting and nothing).
So I rebooted again, and from then on, I can not go into any mode anymore, trying to access the TWRP, the phone only stays on the Recovery screen until reboot after 2 minutes, when letting the phone try to start the ROM, it only stays on the LeEco screen and restart after 2 minutes, when entering Fastboot, it enters the screen in Fastboot mode, but is not recognized by the computer, not even as unknown device, the same for Download mode.
Is there anything I can try?
Doesn't seem like a a fried motherboard. In my experience, If you fried the CPU, you would still be able to access Fastboot, if you fried the GPU part of the chip, or if the LCD has failed you would feel vibrations..
Do you thin it is possible that you accidentally put the phone into EDL mode? It can sometimes be hard to get out of, and it will give you similar issues.
To leave EDL press and hold volume down and power for 1 minute or longer.
Try this
Install the All in One tool and use it to update your android and fastboot drivers. Afterwards see if the computer recognises the phone port connection by going to Control Panel>System> Device Manager* ( Even though, you may not see the drive, you will maybe still see unknown device or te port)
Maybe a Brick?
If it does not see the phone or show a unknown USB device with port 9008
Try placing the phone into EDL mode by pressing and holding the Vol Up (+) and Vol Down (-) together while simultaneously connecting the phone by USB cable to the computer. Do you see the port or phone now? If you see port 9008 you possibly are bricked, follow the steps on my unbricking thread., if you can not get back to TWRP, or fastboot,and the phone keeps a charge. Then I would think that you are definitely bricked.
Other possible issues
The issue could be the battery. Have you tried using other USB C Cables? If you can use a different usb cable let it charge for a couple of hours then see if you can get into TWRP again . If you can enter fastboot mode try reflashing TWRP, you can use the All in One tool for this.

Thanks for answering. I've tried everything.
But I can not see the smartphone when connected. USB drivers are properly installed (I used to recover other LeEco x651, x526 and x520 devices)
I left it restarting for more than hours holding the power button and volume down, no results.
The device does not appear in the Windows device manager in any way, not even as Unknown or 9008 port.
I tried several usb cables.
There is no communication with TWRP or ROM installed and neither with the computer, even though I enter into fastboot / 9008 mode. Only LeEco / recovery logo and Fastboot screen.
I think my main memory is damaged or something.

Well that sucks, if you feel like sending to the phone to China for repair, you can find several shops that are offering to repair any damaged Leeco for $10 and an average cost of $30 for resoldering. On the TaoBao website, use Chrome for translation. Some of their ads mention overseas repair
If it's memory it would be an easy fix for them.
If you don't want to fix it, I highly recommend the Mi8 if it's within your budget, its a perfect phone and you can find them for close to $300. My brother has a Redmi note 6 Pro which is also really nice. He paid $190.
Good Luck.
