First of all, I may be posting this in the wrong section. But I desperately need your help on this.
I got a Jiayu S3, and couldn't not try to flash a custom rom on it, so I tried with "Pure AOSP V1 TF".
All went well, untill i found this app which was included with the rom, "Kinguser" (should be Superuser, i believe), which game me the option to toggle root.
At first and only time I opened this Kinguser app, option root was active. I did deactivate it, and reactivated immediately after.
As soon as i reactivated root, the privacy pin screen showed up.
I didn't set any PIN on my phone, so at first i thought it could be something like 1111 or 0000. Tried 5 times and it made me wait 30 seconds. Then tried another 3-4 times.
Here began the real mess: "forgot pin" (or psw) didn't show up, but at the time i didn't even know about that recovery option.
I didn't know what to do, so I just thought that a factory reset would certainly solve the problem, how couldn't it? Well, wiped everything, but PIN lock screen didn't go away.
So, wiping everything, I also deleted my gmail account from the phone, and I lost the possibility to lock phone and give it a new password (Android Device Manager). Too bad at the time I didn't know about this recovery option as well...
Now I'm out of ideas. I think I've tried every method I could find with a search of "Smartphone PIN locked". Tried with resets, plugins, deleting files with adb..
How do I unlock my phone?
little update: after a factory reset, for 2-3 seconds, it shows the default initial screen, but it doesn't last more that and i just can't do anything.
Now i managed to bring back the stock rom, but with that i lost the twrp recovery, and i can't find a way to make pc recognize the phone to reflash it.
It seems it's going worse instead of better...
I had just bought this Jiayu S3 and planned to bring it on holidays on wednesday, but i'm starting to think i won't be able to fix it before then
Did you have any resolution to this problem. I am currently sitting in the exact same boat. Did the factory reset, pass code screen still there, I didn't set a pass code. Basically hands tied, can't update firmware, guessing i'll have to get a new phone, but hoping maybe you found a miracle cure! ha! - Thanks for any guidance. - Arden (Seattle, WA)
Just flash another rom (stock/original) and start over.
How have you done that?
Can you help please?
I tried factory reset (volume plus+ power button), hard reset (volume- plus power button), update, and nothing works; I also went to two different specialized stores and they failed to find a way to reinstall the original Android version or a recent one.
Comparing the files with the factory version installed in the phone, the phone report identified three changes:
- a new file: /system/priv-app/7mK0T6e8Z5.apk
- the lost of a file: /system/app/com.android.fallen.apk
- and a modified file: /system/bin/debuggerd

To flash firmware you can use SP Flash Tool on a windows or linux computer (not sure about macosx). You have to decide which firmware you want (which one do you have now?). The 'official' firmwares can be found on needrom. SP Flash Tool can be found there as well. There are 2 popular LP firmwares built by Jiayu resellers in Europe (Xtreme from Spain and Jiayu.de from Germany). Guides on how to flash are often present at the place where you find the firmware.

Thank you!
I found "Xtreme from Spain":
needrom.com/download/rom-xtreme-rom-tf/
I found the "SP Flash Tool":
needrom.com/download/sp-flash-tool-v5-1424-00/
but it is for Linux... can you send me the link of the windows version?
And I could not found the "Jiayu.de from Germany": can you send the link?
Also, can you recommend some good manual for dummies?
Thanks again for your patient and help!
latest sp flash tools is 5.1532
search needrom with "5.1532" will leed you to the download page
no link allowed here, so ...
for beta 10 from jiyau.de, search google with "jiyau.de Lollipop 5.1.1 - Beta 10 (14.10.2015)".
it will leeds you to the rom.
Good hunting

I would like to add: if you come from KK and go to LP, you must use firmware upgrade to update/adjust internal SD partition layout. Good Luck! if you succeed, and are happy with firmware, consider voting @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/firmware-jiayu-s3-t3212184 (almost 100 votes)
First, thank you for your great help!
With your suggestions, I managed to install Lolipop in my Jiayu S3S (upgraded from Kit Kat) - Xtreme ROM TF (JiayuS3-5.1Extreme1.1SP.zip).
However the problem remain... the phone still is asking for a PIN (that I never had put there, in first place)...
What should I do now?
you could try factory reset and are you sure its the phone asking for pin and not the sim card

problem fixed by downloading rom from elsewhere. the link posted here hasnt got the tee1 and tee2 files therefore the rom does not install correctly
the working link is https://mega.nz/#!joEFGYrL!Lmi-YtYO-mLDLVc3EHEi0yOmWT22RtNFvet_l0QS6q4
how?
i need this rom, im so annoyed with the phone, biggest issue for me is the gps, can anyone confirm if it fixes the issues?

Although I've had no issues with my GPS, my brother (whom I recommended the phone too) does have issues. The GPS was all over the place tbh.
As a temporary fix he installed GPS Status & Toolbox (from Playstore) and it kinda stabilises his GPS, must admit it does seem to be much better for him now, well atleast usable.
Maybe worth a try until Elephone get their finger out & release this as an actual update on the phone itself, my brother is just using Stock Rom (the latest update 20160608) and he ain't exactly techy minded like me as I've rooted mine etc. So I can understand your frustration.
The problem I see with Elephone (as much as I love my P9000) is that they too quickly move onto the next model and any support (well if Elephone support ever existed in the first place lol) stops for the "last model" .
As regards to "warranty" - personally for me I dont care whether it voids it or not rooting etc .. but I doubt it would. And anyway, the support Elephone would probably offer would be so "awful" (I would imgine from what I read up on them) that probably going out and buying another handset would be less frustrating in the long run ;0)
I'm going to update my P9000 now to check this update out, more to see if battery optimisation is any better for my handset.
Edit: Sorry I noticed you stated you didn't know how to root & install customer recovery (TWRP), basically first follow steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-root-stock-rom-t3396908
You can then update via TWRP recovery to the 20160715 by using the flashable zip file found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/ele...rom-stock-rom-elephone-p9000android6-t3400608
Hope it helps ;0)
Thanks
Thanks for the help, I have already tried the gps status app which has made no difference with the phone laying flat on the worktop the compass is never still, but is this a sensor issue rather than a GPS issue, I'm not sure
I reccomended the p9000 to my partner, her GPS is terrible as well, but she bought hers from amazon, so we could probably return hers without an issue, mine came from eBay......
I tried to install twrp but I can't get it to work, fast boot reports boot loader not unlocked or similar even though I have enabled this in developer options, can't do it inside fast boot either becuase volume up button doesn't work.
Thanks for help

I contacted with Elephone support a few days ago about some questions , one of them next update and this is what they said.....
"Cant confirm at present ,please wait with patience .
Best regards,
Teresa"
I think That's not a regular update from Elephone.
Just my feelings....
Very nice OTA
Yup..now available via ota
I tried the wireless update and it didn't work. Retrying now but here's what happened:
Phone powered off showing Elephone logo first
Powered back on showing elephone logo
The update.zip is corrupted.
Installation aborted.
OTA failed! Please power off the device to keep it in this state and file a bug report!
Just tried it again, same exact thing.

Impressed by P9000, except the GPS.
Just updated OTA to Elephone_P9000_20160715. It does say it has a GPS fix, hope so because apart from that I do like the phone.
I have found that using "HERE" instead of Google maps everything stays on route (Most of the time) I will try the phone Google maps now and see if it has improved.

I just got the same error in the Recovery Mode stating the update.zip is corrupted. I remembered this issure from a previus OTA update and solved it by removing my SD card and putting my SIM card in slot 1. After that the OTA update ran through perfectly. I hope this helps! :good:
EDIT: I found another yet easier solution in a German forum. [Unfortunately I am a too new user in this forum to post a link. So you have to live without a source]. Summoned up: Go to preferences > Storage & USB and remove the SD card by tapping the "eject" symbol. After the update, do not forget to set your SD card as the standard storage again.

Thanks it works
have someone issues with BT on 20160715?
This has been released as OTA, and installed fine on my P9000. Remember - switch both sims off, in settings, before downloading, and make sure you keep the screen on whilst downloading. Also good idea to delete a few fingerprints, just in case the fingerprint problem comes back.
So far no problems, but no AndroidPay as the phone stills fails the SafetyNet API call.
Honestly I'm a bit surprised that Elephone are sill updating this phone, delighted, but surprised. Well done, Elephone! But please, if you can, get the AndriodPay working?
W.
is this rom also flashable on P9000 lite ?
Nice home screen update, swiping all the way across brings you back to the start again
Fast charging still not restored for me.
Hello
I have a Yotaphone 2 running android 5.0. I have a huge problem with the device which is, that the phone reboots automatically all by itself after the screen turns off. The screen timeout is set at 1 minute and once the screen goes off, the phone reboots! I don't know what the problem is but its making me crazy!
Note: The phone does not reboot if the screen doesn't turn off. So I changed the screen timeout to 30minutes. Also note that Wi-Fi doesn't start immediately. It doesn't even start most of the time and is stuck at "turning on"! And also, the phone isn't detecting my SIM Card!
Hope someone can solve my problem.
Wow, seems a lot of problems here. However you provided very few info about your phone.
1) Where did you buy it?
2) What have you done after you opened it, OTA? Which firmware was installed?
3) Have you tried factory reset by wiping data in the stock recovery? (Accessible with Vol+ and Power)
4) Have you tried to flash from scratch the RU .124 firmware with YotaFlasher?
5) The phone was behaving normally before or it's doing this as soon as you started using it?
I got the phone as a gift

-The phone was a gift from "Aramex Company".
-Yes, I have factory reset it! Note: It wasn't possible to reset it from settings because it would always get stuck in "Shutting Down" phase and nothing would happen. So I hard reset it.
-I found something strange going on though. Whenever I reset it, It would restart (after the reset is over) and say that "ANDROID IS UPGRADED TO 5.0".
I think it is upgrading by itself to 5.0.
-No, I haven't tried any flashing.
-Yes, the phone was working fine for a while and then started behaving like this!
Cheers!
(Thank You for your support and attention by the way)
Video
Hello!
I have made a video showing what the problems are! Please give me your e-mail so that I can send you the "Dropbox" link to the video.
Thank You!
I think the first thing to do here is to flash a clean firmware (RU or EU) on your phone via YotaFlasher, search here on xda how, and then report back if it's happen again! Seems that the firmware it was shipped with wansn't so stable.
Flashed it!

Hey!
As you had prescribed, I flashed it! First I flashed it with Android 5.0.0-ME1.1.60 and after opening the phone I used it for a while and the phone was same as before flashing! There was no difference at all! The phone was restarting on turning screen off as usual, the WiFi wasn't turning on, and the SIM wasn't being recognized!
But then I flashed it with Android 4.4.3-S01-003-ME1.0.3.61a and the phone is still rebooting by itself upon switching the screen off and the WiFi problem still persists! The WiFi just simply won't turn on. It's stuck at "turning on"! The SIM isn't recognized either! Also, the phone is restarting from the inside now (It wasn't restarting before. I had to keep the power button pressed every time I wanted to restart)! But NOTE that the phone still cannot be just shut down, it can only be restarted!
I don't know what to do!
Cheers

Hi lgk350tr,
Why are you unable to make yotaflasher work, it is a pretty simple application. Have you tried to see instruction videos on YouTube on how to use it? Instructions are also available on XDA Developers' website. ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/yotaphone-one/general/yota-flasher-download-t3480922 )
Don't hesitate to contact, for any problem!

Try flashing the hybrid modem mentioned in the general guide (Part 2).
Try flashing 2 times before rebooting.
If nothing helps, you could try lineageos, @angelll123 made a lengthy guide how to that in the post quoted here , also check my comment.

I have attached a screenshot of the Yotaphone 2 General guide page, I want to know if you are referring to the text that I highlighted in the screenshot!
Thank You
I do experience similar issue, but only recently. I haven't done anything like flashing or upgrading my phone, it started by itself .
I am experiencing reboots whenever battery drops below about two thirds of its capacity. Also, charging and handling some load prevents this.
Note that my Yotaphone has both displays damaged. Still working though.
Hi all,
I finally managed to get a Nougat ROM running on my device - except for the camera. It keeps showing a black screen (closes and pops up in intervals of about 1s). I of course searched the forum but it looked like noone has really managed to find a reliable solution. First some background for my device: VNS-L31 (Dual Sim) which was running on fully stock/fully working C432B160 firmware (no root, locked bootloader, after factory reset) and then upgraded to Nougat C432B370 using FirmwareFinder (FullOTA-MF-PV). Installation worked fine, everything running as expected except for the camera - as said. I exactly followed the steps outlined in this thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...android-7-emui-5-0-vns-l-cb360-links-t3565117
Factory resetting after upgrading doesn't solve the issue. After upgrading to B370, I also updated to C432B388 - but to no avail. What I find a little strange is this: Connecting the device to the computer and investigating the device info correctly shows build/device/manufacturer etc. However, in build.prop it shows information about the NRD90M test-keys release with generic_a15 device. Could this hint at some issue? Also, checking the device info with
Code:
*#*#2846579#*#*
shows this: Manufacture information: NEMO_L21E_VB. I actually expected something with "L31" there - but well, I also don't really know what this specific thing stands for.
Now, here are certain things I came across when looking for solutions:
Suggestion by @Meticulus: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69990309&postcount=226
I tried the suggestion by Meticulus, but unfortunately it didn't work. Does there exist a modification for newer builds that might work? (I just don't understand why that should help - to me it looks moreorless like restarting the camera).
Some fix in build.prop mentioned by @danielegta : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72280947&postcount=7
I have absolutely no idea what the build.prop modification is supposed to be. Can anyone elaborate?
A TWRP related fix: http://www.htcmania.com/showpost.php?p=25093316&postcount=31
A bit afraid to try the TWRP fix by BadWolf. It seems to be for B328 builds... So I am a bit unsure whether I should try it on newer build. According to members in the German android-hilfe.de forum, it once solved these issues, but as said for older builds.
Edit: I tried the fix on B370 but it has no effect.
Use the fix in #3, but reflash system.img if the fix doesn't help: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70069246&postcount=26
Unfortunately this also didn't work for me
Use TWRP-flashable .zip files as given in this thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/nougat-official-firmware-t3512932
I tried this today, but unfortunately it ends up in the same state as I was when upgrading B160 -> B370 using Firmware Finder. Everything except for the camera works.
Edit: I notice that in TWRP there are always errors about not being able to mount /data and /cust. Is this normal or does it hint at some error/malfunction when updating via flashable zip?
Use TWRP-flashable .zip as in #5 but instead of flashing the two .zip without restarting the device, first flash update.zip, then restart phone, flash Nougat TWRP, flash update_data_full_VNS_Lxx_xx_xx.zip as described in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70704697&postcount=7
Tried this in the following way: stock MM -> unlock bootloader and flash TWRP -> flash update.zip -> flash Nougat TWRP -> flash update_data_. Doesn't help. Also I cannot confirm what I read somewhere here on xda (some user mentioned that his camera was working when he only flashed the update.zip - this is not true for me).
Other things I tried for uprading the OS that are not necessarily meant to fix the camera issue, but might:
Use B336 as intermediate step: B160 => B336 => B370 (=> B388) as suggested by @vozilo here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/how-to-b388-nougat-maybe-b381-guide-t3612072
Unfortunately this does not solve the issue. The camera doesn't work in any of the versions flashed after B160.
Go from B160 direcly to B388: didn't help
Does anyone know of something else that might help or could someone maybe comment on the "known" fixes, especially if there might be some changes that could be done to commands/build.prop or even local.prop that eventually help?
Thank you very much,

I had the same problem, and i fixed it by (un)rooting and (un)rooting again
Could you please elaborate a little bit more on what you exactly did? Because for me I was fully stock (including locked bootloader) when upgrading from B160 to B370. Right after the upgrade finished I did a factory reset and the problem already appeared. Are you suggesting to root, unroot and root again? I mean I can try, but I don't see why this could help, so please let me know if I got your point correctly

Ok so usually u should upgrade like 160>b336>b370... The problem might be that you missed a step, not sure though. Try to factory reset first, then go back to b160 and to b336 and then to b370
Unfortunately your suggestion didn't work for me. But it also looks like FF didn't "send" all of the update package to the updater. I chose the 1.6GB FullOTA-MF-PV for B336 but in the system updater it only downloaded 1.2GB. I suspect the data update wasn't downloaded which surely caused issues. Will have to try that again, I guess

try updating through the stock updater

Unfortunately the stock updater doesn't show any updates. So I have to enforce this by using the proxy method provided in Firmware Finder. As I understood this is the "fully" official way of updating, since it does use the "system update" feature provided inside settings of the phone. I will try it again later today to see what could've gone wrong. Maybe I'll just try one of the other B336 firmwares that are listed as FullOTA in FF.
Major update to OP - including new stuff and new information about what I tried. Any other suggestions? I am out of ideas for now and will probably have to live with MM until Huawei has solved this issue
After a suggestion to try VNS-L21 firmware I did, after flashing the corresponding oeminfo. And indeed this worked nicely. Upgrading to Nougat B370 worked and camera is working as well.

Hello,
Sorry but I'm a noob, can you explain to me what do you mean by "flashing the corresponding oeminfo" ? Does it mean you had to somehow "trick" your phone so it believes it's L21 instead of L31 or something ?
I have the same problem on the phone of my girlfriend (although I don't recall it's a dual sim one), I'd really like to solve this.
Thank you

Suggestion by @Meticulus: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69990309&postcount=226
I tried the suggestion by Meticulus, but unfortunately it didn't work. Does there exist a modification for newer builds that might work? (I just don't understand why that should help - to me it looks moreorless like restarting the camera).

Ah, one of number of my statements taken out of context. When I worked on CM13, initially only the P9 Lite was supported. After a NEMO user tested this, which was proof of concept that the nemo camera could work on my p9 lite ROM, I added support for NEMO in my AOSP ROMs. So, the reason this helped was that it restarted the camera to work with NEMO and not VENUS, for which it was originally started.
As for your problem, Developer Options -> Take Bug Report ->FULL and post?
Hi to all
My name is Yarli and this is my first post on XDA-Dev.
I have a Huawei P9 Lite and I have a problem.
I did root on it following one of the 1.000 manuals on XDA. I unlock it contacting Huawei, and I downloaded like 4 or 5 different roms to test.
No one worked. Never. So even having a rooted cellphone I never could use it. I did the same with a Nexus 5 before, and I'm still doing it, actually. I like testing roms. But with this P9 Lite, no ways.
This was a second cell phone to play with so once I saw was impossible to put a damn Rom on it, I surrender. And kept it on a draw.
A few months ago I read Huawei was blocking the root access on its cell phones so I did the rollback and I installed a version of emui restored and downloaded from Huawei. Everything looks like working so I kept the cellphone clean: no google account, no apps, nothing. It looked ok. Youtube working fine, camera too, everything fine.
Last week. My girlfriend broke her cellphone. "Don't worry, I have one for you". So... I didn't. As soon as you try to set your google account the Play Store freezes and went back to the "insert account" screen.
I have a Huawei Attention Center close to my place. I took my cellphone there to check it like "Sorry, I put your software, officially downloaded from your website and my phone is no working right". And they say "You have to change the mother-****ing-board. 159€". For this price ¡I would buy another brand new cellphone!
So, the question:
What can I do?
Thanks for your collaboration.
Some info
Emui 4.1.1
VNS-L31C900B170
ANDROID 6.0
I dont know if this will help but, when I enter pressing the three buttons, on the emui recovery it says "Downloading package", bla bla bla,... and then "Software install failed" The update package does not exist, please dowload the package again" and I only can Reboot system now.
What the hell to do?
Thanks

Hi Yarli,
i was wandering why you rollbacked, you could have chosen to do only unroot and
flash the stock recovery to keep having updates.
Maybe you misunderstood what happened on Huawei world.
They do not closed access to root, they closed access to website used
to request bootloader code.
During the rollback something is gone wrong and you have that firmware ( C900 ).
Maybe with a correct firmware you could solve that stucked situation.
Three buttons AKA dload is used to perform a forced update,
so you have to put a DLOAD folder in SD card with inside update.app
file extracted from FullOTA firmware.
Yep this could solve, i said could.
So if you choose to do what i'm posting here you assume all responsability
about you are doing with your device... it may simply not work or make things worse.
If you don't agree just ignore this post, if you want to try then answer my questions:
Have you already tried a factory reset ?
Wich region do you live ?
First of all: Thank you so much for your answer.
It seems I didn't get it right. At the end I wasn't using this p9 so much so I wasn't so deep on it. Now I see.
Let's see:
I have already try the factory reset, and the result is the same. The phone works, even if I put the sim card I can call and receive calls. But when I try to add my gmail account I can't. The systems gets out all the time. So no calendar, no mail, no fotos, no nothing related to my google account.
My region is Spain.
Again, thanks for your help

Hey, based on your firmware (B170) was expecting ASIA,
now i'm little confused because i can't find it for european versions.
Was your phone branded / unbranded one ? Do you remenber your last fully working firmware ?
VNS-L31CxxxBxxx ?
