It was only a few day’s ago that the JiaYu G3 finally received it’s network license, but already this amazing Chinese phone has been rooted by devoted fans!
The tools needed to root the JiaYu G3 are available here at the JiaYu forums where you can also find instructions in Chinese of how to root the new 4.5 inch Chinese phone.
While I’ve not tried the root myself (as I still haven’t gotten my JiaYu G3!) the process is meant to be fast and painless due to the small file size of the root .zip file.
I’ll post detailed instructions on how you can root your JiaYu G3 in a few days once I’ve heard the feedback from more users who attempt to get full access of their new phones.
Keep posted for more JiaYu G3 news!

Well good news 🙂
I am waiting for your post with the instructions!
This universal root for ICS and Jelly Bean may also work. It worked on my ICS phone, after trying several tools and even a script which was meant to work for my phone with no success.

Hello, full store acces :D!
this is great news, I actually found the info yesterday but I wasn’t 100% sure of it. Google Translated the page ?!?!?
Hey guys.
This will be my first Android phone and i have a question about “root”.
I understand that if you root your phone you will be able to use customROM, can you advance me which one is the best. I have heard about this one http://en.miui.com/
What’re yours opinions, is it good idea to use JiaYu with customRom?
You have to flash a custom ROM which was made for your phone. You can’t just flash any ROM. It has to be compatible. If MIUI has a ROM for your phone then you can flash it. There’s a chance that you’ll brick your phone if you flash a ROM that was not made for it.
Thanks, but there is no customRom for JiaYu. Do you think its good idea to install customRom, whats privilages?
To some extend, it was good to install customrom because it doesn’t come with bloatware that the manufacture put into the phone. Sometime a dev also make it more faster and fluid.
I don’t have jiayu phone, so don’t know it have bloatware or not? if you found any custom rom, you must think why you want to flash it.
if you just want to customize it, use launcher. some launcher have a theme prepared.
Apex Launcher
Go Launcher
Nova Launcher
etc…
hello!
it feels like a noob but…. whould anyone could explain what is “root” ?
it’s like jailbrake? cause i think is has to do with getting full access on something..?!
ps. i have not android phone
thank you
well in a brief, it is a “jail break” but a little different.
Most people do root in a basic to uninstall “carried” application that has no use. For example, I got my Orange ZTE Blade from UK, while I live in Asia, which have no use for me. but I can’t uninstall it using usual method, therefore I need to root it to uninstall them via ADB or fastboot
But there are more to it, rooting also means “super user” access or admin access for your phone. With rooted phone you basically can change anything and mod anything. It is the first gate for modding and flashing ROM.
Could someone please upload the files somewhere? I cannot seem to manage to create an account on this site.. thanks!

Jiayu 3g frequency.

how to upgrade Jiayu G plus MTK6577 to jelly bean 4.2 ??
Will this work with the G3S version?
No probably not
Is there a Factory Rooted phone?
My g4 arrived rooted, probably from factory.
that is interesting, i saw a reseller giving de choice of rooted firmware, for 6.99 $.
so, that probably doesn’t break warranty, right?
No, that doesn’t break the warranty. However I believe one cant really rely on a real warranty for such devices. The warranty is already complexe sometimes with the famous brands, so with the chinese brands outside China you should probably not expect too much.
