[TUT] Transforming 1 SIM model into 2 SIM (Single into Dual) - Sony Xperia M

First time this done by maksimus-zp
I followed his steps and created this tutorial.
Nothing hard.
1. Buy board with 2 SIM slots
Part number: 311NIK2602E, link open Google results with stores in your country.
Important: not try to add only slot on Single-board – it not contain all required details.
Also be careful if buying board from China – it can be without small required details.
2. Buy inner rear panel
Part number: 1272-3747, link open Google results with stores in your country.
It necessary to have a hole for second card.
Or you can try to manually cut plastic.
You can do without it: second slot, obviously, will bulge plastic, but both covers can be closed.
3. Disassemble phone
It's easy: you need T5-screwdriver, small clock screwdriver (for only one single screw above) and mediator.
Remove all the screws. Hook by mediator and unclick the entire panel starting from the right bottom.
Can be useful this videos: 1, 2 or official service documents
4. Replace SIM-board
It's glued: start removing from upper side, then at connector.
Install new board.
5. Assemble phone
Install new rear panel, press all latches, then tighten screws.
6. Flash stock firmware for Dual
Tutorial and files in this thread
Do not worry, it's safe.
It's required even if you want use custom ROM.
Note
At *#06# IMEI for 2nd SIM – "0"
Original Dual shows both, a bit different numbers.
But there's no problems even when both SIM's from same operator.

Could someone please provide me with SX56 unlock code?

I am sure this bit of the question has been asked before so perhaps someone could cut and paste the procedure but I need to unlock this SX56 AT&T phone because I use T-Mobile AND travel abroad quite a lot.
The IMEI number is 350314000995655
(I couldn't find the SX56 model number or the correct ROM code or the Radio number in your pop-down menu so I entered it on the next line)
Unlock procedure
Sorry for last postingjavascript:emoticon('')
Embarassed: Siemens told me that I need an IMEI Number and that AT&T would provide me with an unlock code for this unit with that IMEI number (which obviously they won't)javascript:emoticon(':evil:')
Evil or Very Mad
Is the procedure (for my unit) to ask for an unlock code and then enter it or is it to download
* SD Card Reader
* 1x64Mb+ SD card
* XDATools
* XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2
1. Backup the existing bootloader and operating system using card reader
2. Extract the XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM 1.2 using Winzip
3. Write the NK.nbf-file (in the directory English) to your Device
4. Running the Programs -> Phone -> XDAUnlock file will remove the SIMlock...
5. after this time, the original ROM could be restored as desired.
And if I need to, can I do all this with Infra Red and sync or with the cradle which connects it to the computer? I cant find any reference to my ROM or Radio numbers in the pull down menu here and am a bit confused by this.javascript:emoticon(':?')
Confused
No, flashing the ROM will not unlock your device. Search for the wallaby unlocker, or check the wiki, as it is there, sticky and has been mentioned before.
Completing unlock process and flashing
I was directed to the flash upgrade program to unlock the device at the XDA-Wallaby Home Page and did flash but nowhere was I given the option to unlock: However the flashing process failed in an unusual and probably not important way: It completed successfully but I have lost the stylus and couldnt figure out how to stop the battery by pushing a fine screwdriver into the hole shown on the host computer screen. All that now shows on the screen is COMPLETED and a number of close-together vertical lines at the far right quarter inch of the screen.
Is there some trick to turning the battery off with some special tool or have I in fact completed the procedure and simply don't know that I have or what to do next? (get to a screen where I can run the XDAUnlock program which I transferred over to the SX56 before flashing the ROM?)
I wonder if I should or need to take the battery off if I Have lost that tool which does this by pushing into the hole on the lower quarter of the unit?
A bit of self-help going on here
So I DO appear to have flashed the ROM and the XDA ROM now appears on the screen although with no real backlight: The DO YOU WANT TO UNLOCK also appears but when YES is pressed, nothing happens. In fact one can see the unit taking the command but nothing further happens and the question just hangs on the screen.
Is this unlocking a command which takes a long time to execute? Or should I cancel out of it and carry on with bringing up the screen and can I execute it later on? Or have I done something major wrong and is there any way of rectifying? Sometimes if I press YES hard enough, the backlight appears for a half second (and the YES command pulsates once) and then goes off. But the question about unlocking still hangs on the screen.
Is this something to do with the program not being able to unlock an AT&T lock? Or has the screen lost sensitivity in some way and if so, (last resource here, improbably necessary) is there a source for Wallaby screens?
FOr the benefit of anyone trying this
NOTE:
After a night of the YES command taking and then not doing anything, I tried MOVING the over-screen by trying to drag it to another position
This didnt work. BUT tapping on the blue bar resulted in a message telling me that the unit was now unlocked. And the 7-8 black vertical lines to the right of the screen now have reduced to one, a quarter of an inch in
(Mind you, tapping on the ok button on THAT screen still mysteriously does nothing. This is a ROM which works in a VERY interesting, unusual and unexpected way!!)
new problem - report of invalid sim
now i am having another problem and am not sure i shoudn't start another thread
'
I did repalce the screen and the unit now starts up and reports invalid sim.
Is there any solution or should I re-flash the rom again and see if that works, hope for the best?
hello i bought a 6315 on ebay, i want to use it in latin america, gsm 1900, i need to unlcok it, room version is A.20.10 i wanted to download the special rom, but the link doesnt work and room folder on ftp is emty, i know is an old phone,can someone help me please unlock it? [email protected]

I found the same happened to me first time and a soft reset did the trick. It may also be that the "Hard Reset" will be needed. I seem to recall that this was what I had to do with a couple of them. If your stylus is missing, a push pin and a bit of control will do. Just shove it in the micro hole at the bottom left of the device and hold it for a few seconds then let it go. If it does not restart on its own, follow that with a "soft reset" by pressing the point of the stylus (or a ball point pen) into the larger hole at the bottom left of the unit.
For the upgrade/unlock rom . . . the best one to which I have access is at:

Hope it helps

P800 chinese dual sim Android - upgrade to 2.2.1

I have this P800 dual sim that runs on Android 2.2 (which in fact I think it is 2.1) and a Chinese Ingenic JZ4760 CPU (600 mhz), 256 RAM, 256 ROM. It has capacitive screen, GPS and Wi-fi. I'm desperate to install Android 2.2.1 on it for some tweaks and I don't know how because I'm new at this. I contacted the supplier but he couldn't help me with this.
Main problems:
1. Where can I find a working ROM for this so I`ll still have the dual sim option? Can't I just install a ROM from any other chinese dual sim or it has something to do with the drivers, CPU on the phone? I saw the hero H6 modding thread here on xda..
2. How do I make a full back up of the phone so I can go back to the original settings if something goes wrong?
3. How do I install new ROM without bricking it?
4. Is it absolutely necessary to root before I install the new Android?
If you want more information about kernel, hardware or anything else I can tell you from "Android system info" application that I installed on it. I might be a noob but I can learn really fast.
Please help! I just need you people to point me into the right direction.
To see the phone just search "P800 Android" on google

and i have link to "rooted" (https:// rapidshare .com /files/4267703916/system.rar - pls, delete 3 spaces from link) firmware to use it you must replace system.img from this archive to "img" folder of firmware uploader.

this files was taken from russian forum (forum .china-iphone .ru / viewtopic .php?f=22&t=11424)
Thank you for this. I will try it. I just have some questions: who made this firmware? and why don`t they talk in english so everybody can understand? I need to know if anyone used this firmware and if there will be updated firmwares in the future.
This firmware is made by manufacturer of p800, "rooted" system.img repacked by enthusiast from Israel. I'm and other users from topic about p800 of forum china-iphone.ru use this firmware. Reseller in China promise to send newer firmware on this week. As soon as it happen, link will be available at that topic.
On that forum everybody talk in Russian and foreign-speaking peoples uses Google-translate service to understand us.
For me, for example, English is not comfortable. (I think you can see it in my posts because my grammar).
When the new firmware is available can you please post a link in this topic too?
And since you use this firmware can you tell me if some of the problems I have, are solved? For example:
-Android market working?
-proximity senzor
-microphone
-did you get rid of all those useless chinese applications?
-is it Android version 2.2 or 2.2.1?
-wireless working?
-bluetooth working (sending/receiving)
-both cameras working?
-GPS navigation with iGO working?
-if you reset the phone at factory settings do you lose the IMEIs?
what did you do to install this firmware?
Is adobe Flash and adobe reader working? what about yahoo messenger?

Ok, I'll post link to new firmware, when it will exist.
Mic on my phone working excellent, Android 2.2, proximity sensor worked on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B11, but on Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16 it is not working, both cameras taking photos, but not video. GPS works with (download .osmand .net /latest-night-build/OsmAnd-stable.apk). Wifi is ok. I didn't here about loosing IMEI by this device. I didn't use Andr. market. Now when you have root access you may uninstall everything yourself.
would you please see if the bluetooth, android market, flash player and yahoo messenger is working? Do I need offline maps for OsmAnd to work?
Just now I send a *.docx file to Nokia phone by bluetooth without any problem. OsmAnd as i know will ask you to download offline maps at first run (You need just select Country/region you want to download) BUT i don't know is it free or not. My phone have no internet connection now, thats why i can't help you with flash and yahoo
Hi,
I've questions about this phone. I've see this chinese model with new processor and dual sim support. On the paper it seems a very nice product:
http://www.shanzai.com/index.php/ma...00-phone-running-on-a-chinese-made-jz4760-cpu
but the problem is when i want to find to buy this product
1. is only in english or chinese (french is my mother tongue)
2. i had 3 p/n z800 or p800 or pz800 (in russia)
3. in some site it claims it's a MTK6515 cpu inside and is only a fake on the system properties for the p800
4. in all site it claims 256 ram and 512 rom, but in this topic you say 256/256
for exemple here for P800:
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5...droid+22+os+GPS+Dual+sim+card+phone+wifi.html
and here for z800:
http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/s...iFi_JAVA_GPS_Qaud_Band_GSM_Smart_Phone_-37579
Where is the truth?
Finally if it's really the new Ingenic CPU, it's really better than a MTK6516?
Thanks for you advice

Hello.
1. Android on this phone (like on other) is multilingual (French exist exactly)
2. As i know p800 = z800 = pz800.
3. If it will be useful to you I can say that i owned Toshiba portege g810 for 1.5 years, p800 is really better. It is not so fast as HTC HD2, but not so slow as Toshiba Portege g810.
4. I don't know about it's ROM and RAM, beside it is enough for me.
Now some useful application are not installable on p800, but i believe that new firmware will made progress in this.
Some users said, that old versions of firmware had problems with low sensitive mic, now it is ok.
Till now the preamp level of speaker are too high, that is why not comfortable to use it on max volume.
And the 3rd difficulty us in setting up navigation software, people says, that it is impossible to install iGo or navitel (OsmAnd is workable).
The next problem is inability of setting max ringer alert volume, when speaking volume is not on the max level.
The quality of materials and manufacturing are high.
Oh, i forgot to say about excellent touch and bright (suppose AMOLED) screen.
The CPU model is jz4760
P. S. In store where i bought it the details are mistaken too ( www .aliexpress .com /fm-store/403972/210660520-441180847/Hot-Selling-2011-Android-2-2-Phones-P800-phones-with-gps-wifi-java-dual-sim-dual.html)

Please tell me step by step how did you root and install this firmware. If you could answer today it would be great. I tried to root with SuperOne Click to make a full backup in case something goes wrong but it didn`t work and I opened USBbootTool.exe but it`s in chinese and I don`t know what to do. A video tutorial would be really nice..
Step 1. Installing the driver loader.
0. Unpack the archive with the firmware.
1. Turn off the phone, remove battery.
2. Hold down the "volume up" button and connect to the cable.
3. Remove your finger from button. =)
4. PC will find new device and ask the driver (is sited in the "uboot_driver" folder).
5. after installing the driver to turn off the phone from cable.
Step2. prepearing Root
1. Replace file "system.img" in "img" folder with "system.img" from dedicated archive.
Step 3. Flashing:
1. Run USBBootTool.
2. Turn off the phone, detach battery.
3. Hold down the "volume up" button on the phone and connect USB-cable.
3 1/2. remove your finger from button.
4. The process will start automatically.
5. After flashing you'll see Chinese dialog window - it ask you to enter the serial number of 14 digits that has no matter.
6. After that, just insert the batteries, and power on your phone.
Warnings
1. This oeration will DELETE all your custom files, thats why backup phonebook to SD-card or to PC
2. Connect USB-cable to backplate of your PC and use original cable or better if possible.
3. Win 7 x64 didn't install that driver. You must use x86 (32bit) windows versions.

Thank you for the reply. Where can I get that serial number? And what do you mean it doesn't matter? What settings did you had in USBbootTool? Mine is in chinese.

Hi!
I didn't fill serial number at all, somebody fill this with random digits.
USBbootTool is in Chinese, all settings are correct, you do not need to change anything there. Just follow the instruction.
Good luck!
Thank you very much. It works.
1. After you unpack the archive the Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16_生产版本 folder must be renamed to Z800_2.2GG_FLV01.01B16
2. The steps were correct but I don`t know how to verify that it`s rooted
3. Like you said it didn`t work on my Win 7 x64 so I went to my neighbor who had Win XP
4. I put 11111111111111 when it asked for serial number and it worked so it doesn`t matter indeed
5. Proximity senzor not working at all
6. Android keyboard missing (Sogou Input instead)
7. The name of the operators still doesn`t appear in notifications just like before. There are just some numbers: 22610 for Orange and 22603 for Cosmote
8. USSD code for Cosmote still not working. *123*2# - This is for showing me how many messages I have left on Cosmote.
I will test different applications so I can see what's working and I`m waiting for updated firmwares from you. Thanks again. You`ve been very helpful. There should be more people like you.

Thank you for comment.
I'm just translating information from Russian topic. And giving my experience of using this phone.
2. To verify rooting i'd install Root Explorer and now it is possible to set RW parametr on system folders. Some application start workig after changing firmware, before this apps said that root permission missed.
5. Yes, proximity sensor is not used by interface in this firmware.
6. Android keyboard are able to be selected. For example, open messages and choose creating of new SMS then made long press on text field and tap "select input method" appeared, you need to choose "Guboi alphabetic..."
7th & 8th problems are nod fixed yet
Hello everyone, I have the same phone and when I was trying to root it start making problems and then it's not booting anymore, so this firmware is very important to me, I'm in United Arab Emirates and it's almost impossible to download from Rapidshare. So can anyone be kind and upload both of the firmware to any other site midiafire will be great if possible
http://www.mediafire.com/?ptgu7rdps2gjd22
http://www.mediafire.com/?5j53v5x0zg6zc1c
At the end just wait until it doesn`t do anything anymore(just be patient), then unplug the cable, put the battery and power it on(don`t put the battery with the cable pluged, you could distroy the battery). The booting will take a little longer than before.
If you can root it, please tell me how you did it..

HTC Sensation(pyramid) Hboot 1.27.0000 how to unlock bootloader, S-off, root

Basically this is a way of gaining an unlocked bootloader, S off access, and full root access.
All the downloads are attached as i am a new user and cannot post web links
Thus enabling you to install clockworkmod recovery allowing you to flash your own custom rom via the bootloader recovery option.
The reason behind this new thread is when I was rooting my sensation I cam across a common problem which is the revolutionary way was not working due to the latest update onto ICS changing the hboot.
After spending hours trolling the forums I found all the solutions but they were all over the place so I though I would compile them all into a noob friendly thread..
First things first is make sure your phone is fully charged and everything is backed up onto your sd and your computer to avoid data loss.
Then you need to make sure usb debugging is checked and fast boot is turned OFF.
Then after this go to the htc website and follow the instructions on how to unlock the bootloader.
After having followed the instructions and unlocked the bootloader you need to make sure you uninstall HTC sync as it will interfere with the next stage.
then download juopunutBear
and the temproot
after having downloaded and extracted all these files to a handy folder you need to connect your phone to your computer and select the htc sync
option.
Then run temproot.bat and follow the instructions.
After this is done you will need a to get a piece of wire with two ends stripped and the rest insulated ideally the core wire from an ethernet cable or a paper clip.
WARNING: When performing the wire trick do not touch the bare part of the wire. Your body may have accumulated static electricity and a static discharge along the wire could result in permanent damage to your phone!
Now run the controllbear.exe application and follow the instructions.
The "wire trick" is an essential part of the JuopunutBear S-OFF procedure.
When instructed to do so by the program you must perform the "wire trick" which is done as follows:
Obtain an insulated wire of appropriate length and gauge. Suitable wires are: a core from an ethernet cable, the center core from a coaxial cable, a paperclip wrapped in non-conductive tape (electrical tape, masking tape, or scotch tape will work).
Insert one end of the wire into the hole where indicated in the picture below (it is the lower of the two holes), ensuring that a firm contact is made with the metal contact at the bottom of the hole.
Briefly touch to other end of the wire to the sdcard casing.
Wait approximately 1.5 seconds and then again touch the wire to the sdcard casing.
Allow the program to continue.
Note: It may take several attempts of running the program in order to obtain the correct timing for the wire trick.
The contact points for the "wire trick" are shown in the picture below.
after you have successfully gained s off you will need to run the temrootremove.exe apllication and follow the steps.
now you will need to download the application that will root your phone.
Reboot your phone and leave it on the lock screen unplugged then run the root sensation application
and follow the instructions.
after this has finished your phone will be rooted.
unplug your phone then plug it back into your computer and select the disk drive option, then copy and past your chosen rom to your SD card root folder (the one that contains all the other folders, that you get to as soon as you open the sd card on your computer)
I used cyanogen mod 10
along with the google apps and the super user application found in the root sensation folder ]
now that you have done this disconnect your phone from your computer. install the super user app and run it
Go onto the play store and download and install rom manager via the play store.
after you have installed rom manager open the app and select the option to install clockworkmod recovery (don't bother with the touch one its pointless).
then select the option to reboot your phone into bootloader mode (if option is not there take your battery out, replace it then hold down volume and power button at the same time till your phone loads bootloader)
using the volume keys select recovery and then do a full recovery of your operating system ,
then go back to the main recovery screen and select wipe data/factory reset after this has completed select wipe cache partition.
once this has complete select install zip from sdcard and select your rom install that then do the same with the google apps
after this select the power off option and boot up your phone.
the initial boot takes a while but after that you have your rooted S off phone with a custom rom Enjoy
woooops
here are the google apps aswell they would not upload the first time for some reason

Insert one end of the wire into the hole where indicated in the picture below (it is the lower of the two holes), ensuring that a firm contact is made with the metal contact at the bottom of the hole.
Briefly touch to other end of the wire to the sdcard casing.
Wait approximately 1.5 seconds and then again touch the wire to the sdcard casing.
Allow the program to continue.
Note: It may take several attempts of running the program in order to obtain the correct timing for the wire trick.
The contact points for the "wire trick" are shown in the picture below.
after you have successfully gained s off you will need to run the temrootremove.exe apllication and follow the steps.
now you will need to download the application that will root your phone.
Reboot your phone and leave it on the lock screen unplugged then run the root sensation application
and follow the instructions.
after this has finished your phone will be rooted.
unplug your phone then plug it back into your computer and select the disk drive option, then copy and past your chosen rom to your SD card root folder (the one that contains all the other folders, that you get to as soon as you open the sd card on your computer)
I used cyanogen mod 10
along with the google apps and the super user application found in the root sensation folder ]
now that you have done this disconnect your phone from your computer. install the super user app and run it
Go onto the play store and download and install rom manager via the play store.
after you have installed rom manager open the app and select the option to install clockworkmod recovery (don't bother with the touch one its pointless).
then select the option to reboot your phone into bootloader mode (if option is not there take your battery out, replace it then hold down volume and power button at the same time till your phone loads bootloader)
using the volume keys select recovery and then do a full recovery of your operating system ,
then go back to the main recovery screen and select wipe data/factory reset after this has completed select wipe cache partition.
once this has complete select install zip from sdcard and select your rom install that then do the same with the google apps
after this select the power off option and boot up your phone.
the initial boot takes a while but after that you have your rooted S off phone with a custom rom Enjoy

sorry for the late response been out of the country.
It is my belief that when you complete the htc bootloader unlock it might reset the s off/root if not then i see no reason why you would need to run the temproot however it is best to check if you are s off and rooted in bootloader if both or one are not present then just perform the temproot, as a side note the temproot will not work if already rooted but attempting it will not damage your device or hinder your further progression
hope this helps
Out of every single post I have looked at to S-off my Sensation, this one helped me the most. Thank you VERY much!
your welcome
Yeah I spent hours looking at threads to do mine and then thought why is this not all in one post. Glad it helped.
Looks like a pretty complete thread. Thanks for the work you put into it!
I'm getting my sensation this week and will try to use this guide.

The Jiayu G2S was released on January 1, 2013. It was a significant upgrade to the G2 with a lot of hardware changes. For the price, it had an impressive list of specifications:
MTK MT6577T ARMv7 Cortex-A9 Dual-core 1.2GHz processor
GPU: PowerVR SGX531
4 inch QHD IPS screen, 960x540 pixel display, OGS (One Glass Screen)
Dual SIM cards supporting GSM 850/900/1800/1900mhz & WCDMA 3G 2100mhz network (only one 3G slot)
1GB RAM / 4GB ROM
Supports up to 32gb class 12 microSD card (TF card)
8MP rear camera, 2MP front camera
Supports WiFi a/b/g & WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth with EDR & A2DP, GPS & AGPS
Android 4.1 OS (Jelly Bean), multi-language
FM Radio
Gravity Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Light Sensor, Magnetic Sensor, Gyroscopic Sensor
2200mah battery
Size: 125 x 61x 9.9mm
Weight: 145g with battery
Overall, I really like the look and feel of the phone. Except for the ear speaker hole, the front is one solid piece of glass, wrapped around with a very solid metal frame. The metal frame is not just a thin piece of sheet metal, but is cast metal, provides for complete rigidity for the whole phone, and should do a good job of protecting that large piece of screen glass. This also means that the phone has a bit of weight, but that feels good in my hand. Additionally, I like the more rectangular design of the phone and the more square edge down the sides that the flat metal frame provides. It is very easy to hold onto.
Call quality is very good for me. Reception seems on par with other phones I've used. The wifi might be a bit weaker than my Huawei G300, but it is fine. The screen is very nice to look at and very sensitive, but you should read below about the "jump screen" problem. You should also read below about potential problems with GPS connection issues. I've now owned two of these phones. The first had the jump screen problem, and was replaced under warranty. The replacement has terrible GPS pickup, but no jump screen problem.
The large battery means that I have no problem getting through a day of use, and I probably could use it for two days without a charge most of the time. (But I do not use the phone for gaming.) The phone runs most of the time at 1001mhz or 250mhz when on, and will only jump to 1200mhz in extreme conditions. "Deep sleep" mode is for when the screen is off, but the phone will run at 1001mhz when charging no matter if it is on and being used or not. That is an issue for phones based on this MTK chipset and not exclusive to the JY G2S.
Jiayu includes a few apps targeting the Chinese market for this phone, but other than that, the OS is mostly "vanilla" Android Jelly Bean (AOSP). The phone comes already rooted, so freezing or deleting unwanted apps is a simple solution for what you don't want. There are a number of modified roms available already, including the Lewa rom (http://www.needrom.com/phone-roms/jiayu/g2s/). But you should note that later hardware versions of this phone have different components. You should make a note of what the rom version is that came installed on your phone so that you know what hardware version you are using.
"Jump Screen" Problem Solved?:
Many of the first batch of phones were plagued with screen problems. Commonly referred to as the "jump screen" problem, the result is that when scrolling through screens of data, the screen just "jumps" to a different location without any apparent reason. The screen also "quivers" when touching it, even if you aren't moving your finger. Jiayu promptly acknowledged the problem and tried to correct it with a quick ROM update released on January 9, 2013. (The build number of the ROM is: G2S 20130108-104044.) This ROM update did seem to work for some, but for others the problem persisted.
At this point, I personally don't know if the problem has been completely solved in the manufacturing of subsequent batches of the phone. My phone had the problem, and flashing the new ROM did not solve it. I returned the phone for replacement under warranty and did receive a replacement phone that does not have the problem. So whether or not there still is a manufacturing problem, Jiayu can replace the phone with one that works. However, see below for the GPS connection problem that I now have.
GPS Connection Problems:
There are also a number of users here who are reporting difficulty with weak GPS fix. My GPS fix on my first phone was excellent, but my replacement phone is not good at all. It has been suggested to install "Faster GPS" from the Play Store, which will let you set your location. Also, you can look at this post from later in this thread for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39975417&postcount=209. (Please post any solutions you discover in this thread.)
ROM Flashing:
One of my initial struggles was getting the official rom flashing tool to work. I finally got things going, and I hope I can help others who "just don't get it". So if you want some detailed instructions in English for how to flashing a new official ROM onto the Jiayu G2S, have a look at the second post. (If you are flashing a third-party rom, follow the rom builder's instructions.)
ClockworkMod Recovery:
"Thingbreaker" has provided us with a working CWM Recovery. Here's his post link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37521066&postcount=28
There are two ways to flash the CWM Recovery image: using the ROM flashing tool (harder) or using Mobileuncle Tools (easier).
To use Mobileuncle Tools, install it from the Play Store (free). Copy the CWM Recovery image file to the root of your SD card, making sure there are no spaces in the filename. Run Mobileuncle Tools and choose Recovery Update. Choose the recovery image file that Thingbreaker provided.
To use the ROM flashing tool, you first you need to understand how to flash a complete rom as explained in the second post of this thread directly below. After you know how to do that, then look at this post to learn what is different about only flashing the recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37499848&postcount=23
Conclusion:
I do not recommend purchasing this phone. Period. Until Jiayu can do a better job of quality control, I don't recommend their products. There are other companies out there who's phones are only slightly more expensive, but who have a much better reputation for quality control.
Jiayu, if you are reading this, you need to do better! And you really need to improve your repair department as well. Sending me a replacement phone with a GPS problem causes me to wonder if you are using the "shuffle" method of passing around bad phones instead of repairing them. I'm NOT a satisfied customer.
“Unofficial” Guide to Flashing the Official Jiayu G2S ROM
Disclaimer: I’m just one guy who got this to work after a lot of trial and error. I’m only telling you how I did it. I don’t claim it will work for you. I don’t guarantee you won’t brick your phone by following these instructions. And you should understand that if you don’t bother to read carefully and do exactly what I say, you really can brick your phone. Also, it seems there has been an upgrade to some of the components in later versions of the phone released in March 2013, and you will want to verify which version of the phone you have before installing any roms. You should be able to check the rom build information for the date on your particular phone. This guide only describes how to flash the official rom from Jiayu for the G2S. If you intend to install some other third-party rom, please follow that rom builder's instructions.​
Pre-requisites:
You need a PC running Microsoft Windows 2000 or higher.
If you haven’t previously installed msxml 6.0 and .net Framework 4.0 or higher on you Windows PC, do so first. Get them directly from Microsoft. (I assume you know how to search.)
Download the following:
Latest Jiayu G2S ROM update; the rom I installed was the G2s_20130109-104044 stock rom: http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=157669&uk=839171988 (Note: the build number of the ROM after installation is: G2S 20130108-104044; don't be confused by the name of the file.) Use Google Translate if you need to see which button to push to start the download. Also note that there is a newer official rom for newer versions of the phone. The rom date is 20130306. I don't know what happens if you install the newer version on an older phone.
This zip file contains the Android USB driver, VCom drivers, SP Flash Tool, and a document of these instructions (ReadMe.doc): http://www.mediafire.com/?tc4q3wy5eabowhf
Unzip the files you downloaded and move/copy folders and files where they need to go:
Within the rom zip that you downloaded from the Baidu website, you can find the \G2s_20130109-104044 sub-folder. This folder contains the actual rom files (14 files). Move this entire folder onto your desktop. The reason for doing this is that there are folders within the zip file whose names contain characters that your version of Windows might not be able to read, even if you can see them in Windows Explorer (the filemanager). This will cause you trouble when you try to flash the rom.
After unzipping the driver and flash tool zip file, you will find the \USB-VCOM-Drivers folder with \INF and \SYS sub-folders. In the \INF folder there are three other sub-folders: \ 2K_XP_COM, \Vista, and \Win7.
Copy the \INF\cdc-acm.inf file into your C:\Windows\inf folder. (You may have to give permission to do this.)
Based on your version of Windows (2K-XP, Vista, Win7, 32-bit or 64-bit), locate the one correct usb2ser_????.inf file and copy it to your C:\Windows\inf folder. (You may have to give permission to do this.)
Copy both the \SYS\androidusb.sys and \SYS\usbser.sys into your C:\Windows\System32\driver folder. (You may have to give permission to do this.)
Install the drivers:
Plug your phone into your computer with a USB cable. If you had not previously installed the drivers, the system will start trying to install them.
If the system asks you to choose to install the drivers, click on “install the software automatically” and proceed.
If system is unsuccessful in locating and installing the drivers, you can try to go back and locate the drivers yourself by pointing to the individual files, but this should not happen if you properly copied the drivers over to your C:\Windows system folders.
BACKUP YOUR DATA NOW!
Proceeding beyond this point is going to mean that EVERYTHING on you phone is going to be deleted and a new system will replace it.
You have been warned!
Warning!
Attempting to install a rom that does not use the correct “scatter” file (see description below) will brick your phone. Don’t do it. If you aren’t sure a rom is made for your phone, don’t attempt to install it.
Install the updated ROM:
1. Turn off your phone, open the back, and remove the battery.
2. Plug your USB cable into your PC and phone. If your PC attempts to install drivers, let it finish.
3. Unplug your phone from the cable.
4. Start the SP Flash Tool program by clicking on the Flash_tool.exe file. If you get a security warning, allow it to run.
5. Click on the “Scatter-loading” button on the right side.
6. Browse to your \Desktop\G2s_20130109-104044 folder and choose the MT6577_Android_scatter_emmc.txt file. All other files will be chosen automatically.
7. Click on the “Firmware -> Upgrade” button.
8. Plug your USB cable firmly into the phone. The Flash Tool will automatically start flashing your new rom. Wait for it to finish and show you the green circle.
9. Unplug your phone from the cable.
Rebooting the phone:
1. Install your battery.
2. Very carefully, without touching the screen, push the power button.
3. Do not touch the phone as it boots!
4. After it has completed booting, you may again use your phone normally.
Following the advice that it might help if the phone is very cold when updating to the new rom, I tried putting it in the refrigerator. Unfortunately, that did not seem to help in my case. The phone still has the "jump screen" problem.
Of course, any other ideas would be appreciated as well.
Has anyone yet been successful in creating a Recovery mod (i.e. ClockworkMod Recovery)?

Any Jealousy people Tell Me Some Unofficial Way Of Hacking Based On Geographical Location.
twrock: Make sure you do not have screen protector applied and you do not touch the screen during the first boot after flashing.
Thanks for the advice. But I'm not using a screen protector, and I am being very careful about not touching the phone. Nothing seems to help.

Have you identified production date of your phone? Is there a sticker anywhere? We might come to a conclusion later on, of which date onward the factory has solved the problem... It might be a hardware problem after all.
Still waiting for mine to arrive...
hi there, for those who already have in their hands the g2s is it possible to give more reviews about its gps and the camera especially at night? thanks
Hi.
I have just created a ClockWorkMod recovery image for the Jiayu G2S.
I don't have the phone yet, it is still on its way, so I can't guarantee that it will work.
Download: http://db.tt/vFO4S6Mc
When flashing this recovery, use the same scatter file as for the stock rom.
If you don't have the scatter file here it is: http://db.tt/Z4TWPowQ
Please try it at your own risk, and give me feedback.
I received mine today. I am stunned. This thing is amazing. After all the HTC's I have this is a dream.
Mine doesn't seem to have the screen problem, but has the 20130108 firmware. I will wait a couple of days and see how it's running and the flash it.
CWM for this would be amazing and unabridged CyanogenMod would be even greater. Wonderful times!!!

I'll give it a try.
What method did you use to create it? Did you use Koush's "builder"?
I also tried to make a CWM Recovery using the builder. The builder said it was successful, but the resulting CW recovery would not boot.
I'll let you know when I have the time to try it. Thanks.
Anyone know how to get rid of the Google search bar at the top of the standard Launcher? I'd guess that Google doesn't want us to be able to get rid of it.

I don't know if my experience is much help. I live in Taiwan, so I suspect my GPS satellite locks were about the same as they would be in China. So for what it's worth....
My first GPS use locked in less than two minutes. I was outside in a parking lot on a clear day when I started. I got into the car after about 30 seconds and put the phone on the dashboard. It was locked in before the screen shut off (which is set at 2 minutes). I did not have Wifi connected, so no help from that. Subsequent to that first use, locking in took less than 15 seconds.
I haven't taken any pictures at night, so I can't help you there.
I'll mention here that if I decided to order this phone today, I'd find a way to get it straight from Jiayu. I ordered mine from Etotalk.com (and wasted money on their "Etotalk mod rom"), and they aren't being very helpful with aftersales follow up. I finally gave up on them and am now talking straight to Jiayu support. But I have to wait until after Chinese New Year to send it back. They said that they would not be able to replace the phone until after Chinese New Year anyway, so sending it back now would only mean I would be without the phone longer.
hello, i'm G2S first batch too, what do you mean about shaking problem? is it shake hard ? i got the problem while charging the phone, but if it's unplug, it's seems to be normal.
i'll try the new firmware from this thread, thanks for the link :laugh:
by the way, i've ported the CWM recovery for G2S, i'll upload it if you need it
For those who already have the phone, is the signal strong even if you are inside buildings?
I'm asking this because many users report that jiayu g3's signal is very week when you get indoor, and i'd like to know if it was corrected in this version.

VOLTE Success, Activation without Firmware Replacement (Sony Mobile withdrawal area)

Hello Xperia users! In the meantime, I finally solved the VOLTE problem! I approached Qualcomm's diagnostic port-active-efsExplorer and solved the problem by inserting a VOLTE profile from my carrier
Sorry, this is Korea and I am Korean.
However, I will write down the method in English.
Unlike previous 1&5, Qualcomm's diagnostic port cannot be opened.
opening command
I don't even know. I don't think so.
So it's a little different from before.
I tried to force it open.
debugging connection
Open the Command Proposal window.
adb shell input
su input
Do you want to allow shell on your phone?
prompt acceptance of permission
Then the $ shape changes to #.
Now
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
Copy paste entry. Please enter
And you're gonna be out there during tethering.
In My Computer Item
View Device Manager.
Please turn debugging back on.
Of course, no access.
If you turn on debugging again,
I've already set it up, so it looks like that.
Among them, there is a product model named XQ-AT52.
There are four yellow exclamation points in total.
Manually update driver Press [port] to list the manufacturers
It's called Qualcomm hs-usb-diagh and 9091. with this
I need a manual update. gogo
Now run the EFS Express.
Press 0 on the ROW and OK.
(ROW or SF_Default)
Oh, it takes a long time. I thought it stopped.
It opens if you stay still. LOL
It's open. How nice to see you here!
I am the Korean telecommunication company EFS file extracted from xperia1.
I used it. If you need VOLTE,
XPERIA1 (Modem).Extract from SIN file
I will use the Korean communication file.
Just drag it and put it in a folder.
v check and Yes
There'll be folders that don't exist while you're pulling them in.
Then make it and put the file in.
In the folder where you can view this red file,
Drag and drop the file twice.
The reason is that once you do it, you just go in.
The red file is not updated.
That's how the numbers at the back change when you renew.
So make sure to put it in twice.
Files beginning with NV do not have folders.
Put it on top.
It's over now!

It's hidden in XPERIA1 firmware.
After downloading the firmware via Xperia Pim, change the extension to Modem.img in the Modem.sin file and extract it to the compression program (7z) to view the folder! Surprisingly, the world's telecommunications company VOLTE EFS file is hidden. +_+ Take advantage of it! You can open the VOLTE menu through the magazine module.
Hi, why don't you show by video or pictures. The windowns language is English. ???
Attach the necessary software.
Thanks
I estimate, its only possible by unlocking/rooting the phone?
how to
Even with the great contributors' information, I think there are a few areas where I struggle.
For additional information, I will post my success stories.
I'm posting them in machine translation. Please forgive me if it's hard to read.
STEP 1: Implement the Tools You Need
Please install the following tools.
QPST(QPST_2.7.460)
Qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-9091-952454(DIAG driver)
Flashtool (and XperiaFirm)
newflasher(INSTALL is unnecessary, but please get it.)
*All of the above were available on the internet as of 8/15.
STEP2: Get a "modem" that supports VoLTE.
 As a prerequisite (regardless of the DualSim/SinglSim model)
  For countries that want to use VoLTE, SONY is offering
  Official firmware is required.
  In my example.
  Purchased model: XQ-AT52 (for Hong Kong)
  The country where you want to use it: Japan -> SO-51A is available.
  (The difference in the number of slots in the SIM doesn't affect it. )
  This is the case.
  If the firmware to run VoLTE does not exist in the country where you want to use it
  This method does not work.
  The annotations are long, but here are the steps.
  Use XperiFirm, provided by SONY in the country where you want to use VoLTE.
   Download the firmware.
  
STEP3: Use the newflasher to write the firmware from STEP2 to your Xperia 1 ii.
   In this case, if you want to burn into a model with a different number of SIM slots
   Example: Writing SO-51A firmware to XQ-AT52
   →The SIM will not be recognized, but it is temporary.
STEP4: Use EFS Explorer to get the necessary files.
  Follow the steps of the great htcmage and have your Xperia 1 ii recognized by EFS Explorer.
  4-1: Install the QPST.
4-2:Install Magisk on your Xperia 1 ii.
    Therefore, it is mandatory to unlock the bootloader.
  4-3:Execute the commands at the command prompt as follows.
    adb shell
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
Magisk's permission is now required to get SuperUser privileges in su.
     Note: From the Magisk menu, go to "# SuperUser" and click on
     You can allow.
4-4: The debug mode is disconnected, so you need to re-enable it.
4-5: If you have installed the qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-9091-952454 (DIAG driver), you can use
    It is recognized by EFS Explorer.
4-6: On the Phone Selectio screen, Banner selects the ROW port.
STEP 5: Back up the files required for VoLTE activation.
Before following the steps below, you must have the SIM of the line/carrier you want to enable VoLTE on.
    Please plug in.
   I have backed up the following folders.
   There may be some things you don't need, but at least it works.
   Data_Profiles
efsprofiles
Ims.
nv/item_files/datamodem
nv/item_files/ims
nv/item_files/mcfg
nv/item_files/modem
STEP6: Write the firmware you want to use, and copy the file from STEP5 to
   Override.
Follow steps 3 to 4 of STEP 3 to 4 to get the firmware you want to use.
   Write & make EFS Explorer recognize it. (Don't remove the SIM.)
   Then, overwrite it with the files backed up in STEP 5.
You should probably now have VoLTE available.
Thanks to the person who walked me through the Magisk installation process, and to the great htcmage.
Also, I pray that others wandering in the same sea of information will be saved.

newflasher(INSTALL is unnecessary, but please get it.)
*All of the above were available on the internet as of 8/15.
STEP2: Get a "modem" that supports VoLTE.
 As a prerequisite (regardless of the DualSim/SinglSim model)
  For countries that want to use VoLTE, SONY is offering
  Official firmware is required.
  In my example.
  Purchased model: XQ-AT52 (for Hong Kong)
  The country where you want to use it: Japan -> SO-51A is available.
  (The difference in the number of slots in the SIM doesn't affect it. )
  This is the case.
  If the firmware to run VoLTE does not exist in the country where you want to use it
  This method does not work.
  The annotations are long, but here are the steps.
  Use XperiFirm, provided by SONY in the country where you want to use VoLTE.
   Download the firmware.
  
STEP3: Use the newflasher to write the firmware from STEP2 to your Xperia 1 ii.
   In this case, if you want to burn into a model with a different number of SIM slots
   Example: Writing SO-51A firmware to XQ-AT52
   →The SIM will not be recognized, but it is temporary.
STEP4: Use EFS Explorer to get the necessary files.
  Follow the steps of the great htcmage and have your Xperia 1 ii recognized by EFS Explorer.
  4-1: Install the QPST.
4-2:Install Magisk on your Xperia 1 ii.
    Therefore, it is mandatory to unlock the bootloader.
  4-3:Execute the commands at the command prompt as follows.
    adb shell
su
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
Magisk's permission is now required to get SuperUser privileges in su.
     Note: From the Magisk menu, go to "# SuperUser" and click on
     You can allow.
4-4: The debug mode is disconnected, so you need to re-enable it.
4-5: If you have installed the qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-9091-952454 (DIAG driver), you can use
    It is recognized by EFS Explorer.
4-6: On the Phone Selectio screen, Banner selects the ROW port.
STEP 5: Back up the files required for VoLTE activation.
Before following the steps below, you must have the SIM of the line/carrier you want to enable VoLTE on.
    Please plug in.
   I have backed up the following folders.
   There may be some things you don't need, but at least it works.
   Data_Profiles
efsprofiles
Ims.
nv/item_files/datamodem
nv/item_files/ims
nv/item_files/mcfg
nv/item_files/modem
STEP6: Write the firmware you want to use, and copy the file from STEP5 to
   Override.
Follow steps 3 to 4 of STEP 3 to 4 to get the firmware you want to use.
   Write & make EFS Explorer recognize it. (Don't remove the SIM.)
   Then, overwrite it with the files backed up in STEP 5.
You should probably now have VoLTE available.
Thanks to the person who walked me through the Magisk installation process, and to the great htcmage.
Also, I pray that others wandering in the same sea of information will be saved.

Hello, you are so cool Thank you so much for organizing the guide. I hope it helps many xperia 1 II users ah! I opened the volte-related menu without changing the firmware using the magical module. The reason is that the buildprop cannot be modified for this xperia1 II
pa// Attached file for used module
Has anyone had success doing this on the Xperia 5 ii ?

Hello Xperia users! In the meantime, I finally solved the VOLTE problem! I approached Qualcomm's diagnostic port-active-efsExplorer and solved the problem by inserting a VOLTE profile from my carrier
Sorry, this is Korea and I am Korean.
However, I will write down the method in English.
Unlike previous 1&5, Qualcomm's diagnostic port cannot be opened.
opening command
I don't even know. I don't think so.
So it's a little different from before.
I tried to force it open.
debugging connection
Open the Command Proposal window.
adb shell input
su input
Do you want to allow shell on your phone?
prompt acceptance of permission
Then the $ shape changes to #.
Now
setprop persist.usb.eng 1
Copy paste entry. Please enter
And you're gonna be out there during tethering.
In My Computer Item
View Device Manager.
Please turn debugging back on.
Of course, no access.
If you turn on debugging again,
I've already set it up, so it looks like that.
Among them, there is a product model named XQ-AT52.
There are four yellow exclamation points in total.
Manually update driver Press [port] to list the manufacturers
It's called Qualcomm hs-usb-diagh and 9091. with this
I need a manual update. gogo
Now run the EFS Express.
Press 0 on the ROW and OK.
(ROW or SF_Default)
Oh, it takes a long time. I thought it stopped.
It opens if you stay still. LOL
It's open. How nice to see you here!
I am the Korean telecommunication company EFS file extracted from xperia1.
I used it. If you need VOLTE,
XPERIA1 (Modem).Extract from SIN file
I will use the Korean communication file.
Just drag it and put it in a folder.
v check and Yes
There'll be folders that don't exist while you're pulling them in.
Then make it and put the file in.
In the folder where you can view this red file,
Drag and drop the file twice.
The reason is that once you do it, you just go in.
The red file is not updated.
That's how the numbers at the back change when you renew.
So make sure to put it in twice.
Files beginning with NV do not have folders.
Put it on top.
It's over now!
Volte Success ^0^ About IMS
VOLTE OK
Confirm Video Calls
It was such a hard time for me!
I was sad because I couldn't get help.
With 5G mobile phones in 2020,
It was terrible to be on the 3G phone.
If there's someone like me,
This information will help you a lot.

Buy! Buy two! I love it.

Do you loose 5g support after this method?
Does your mobile restart after changing the data carrier from Sim1 to Sim2?

Even with the great contributors' information, I think there are a few areas where I struggle.
For additional information, I will post my success stories.
I'm posting them in machine translation. Please forgive me if it's hard to read.
STEP 1: Implement the Tools You Need
Please install the following tools.
QPST(QPST_2.7.460)
Qualcomm-hs-usb-diagnostics-9091-952454(DIAG driver)
Flashtool (and XperiaFirm)

Hi!
I think i missed something during yoyr great guide . My case is that I'm in Israel, where Sony doesn't provide original firmware, and I use Xperia 5 iii (XQ-BQ52 from UK), So will this guide work?
Thank you

I used a software called S1 Unlock Tool. You need to buy a credit from this website: https://networkunlocking.com/shop/sony-xperia-cable-unlock-0-counter-supported/. There is also a link to download the software. Along with unlocking your phone it will also grant you access to unlock your bootloader if you wish to do so. I did this and tried to root my phone but I wasn't successful, it just soft bricked my phone and was stuck in a boot loop. I had to use Xperia Companion to restore my phone. Maybe you can't root the Japanese variants, I'm not sure. I saw on here on another forum that you can root the Xperia 1 II.
