Hi all,
I have Gionee elife s5.5 and it had english rom (android 4.2.2) with google play installed. The problem was it kept freezing a couple of times a day, so I tried to reinstall the only official rom I could find (CBT5701A01_A_T2898) with flash tool. After the installation, it got stuck in the boot loop.
I tried:
- entering the recovery mode and cleaning the cache
- entering the recovery mode and factory reset/wipe
- reinstall rom with flash tool with update option
- reinstall rom with flash tool with download option
- reinstall rom with flash tool with download and format option
- reinstall rom with flash tool v3.1344.0.212 and v5.1352.01
So far, no luck. The only answer I can think of is that this rom is not for my phone version. Anybody has any idea what can I do? Or does anybody have some other rom I could try to install?
Thanks in advance.

Where did you get the phone? Try looking here, translate it using Google.
http://www.mgyun.com/
I bought it on ebay from China. Thanks for the link but no luck. I've downloaded the new rom and the romaster program (I'm guessing I should use it for the installation) but the program is not detecting that the phone is connected via usb. Same thing with vroot.
Since this rom is in another format, I was thinking maybe I could install it via adb option in recovery mode but I'm getting 'device not found' message when I try to start adb shell.

Have you installed the drivers for the phone?http://gionee.co.in/portfolio/elife-s5-5/#t4

Yes, I installed usb and phone drivers. I also installed adb driver (at least adb driver installer says it is installed as android composite adb interface) and yet when I try adb shell, deamon starts ok but I keep getting the message that the device is not found.
The rom from your link is the same one I already have, but thanks anyway.
All this is very frustrating. Seems like everywhere I go, I hit the wall:
- if the phone has sdcard I could try install rom from there, but it doesn't
- if adb connection works I could try that, but it doesn't
- if romaster detects the phone I could try install it from there, but it doesn't
- sp flash tool is working but I could find only one rom version and it's not working
You did the brushing before installing the flash've used Flashtool?
Have you looked in setting pc, peripherals, if you have something in conflict, if you do not have the yellow exclamation mark?
Also I have just bought this phone, by Liaow, who did the root and installed the Playstore. Now my phone is still stuck in Hong Kong and I do not know when it will arrive in Italy.
How did you like the phone, the battery life, becomes very hot since the minimum thickness?
I don't know what do you mean by 'brushing' so the answer is probably not?
Everything looks ok in pc's control panel, no conflicts or unrecognized devices etc. It's win7 64bit.
I was thinking about buying it via Liaow but in the end I used ebay. It took 3 weeks to arrive, and I paid for DHL express delivery (!) Isn't EU wonderful thing...
I really liked the phone (in the brief time it was working). Display is great, it's fast and the battery would last for a day without a problem. The build is very solid. I wasn't playing any games on it or use any apps that would use cpu extensively, but in normal operational time I didn't notice any significant heating. I even liked the Amigo skin. It has some nice features and was working very fast. The only problem was it kept freezing couple of times a day, usually after long times of inactivity which led me to believe it has some sort of problem with power saving functions in android (or amigo). Oh one other thing: it doesn't have notification led. I miss that.
If you don't get your phone, I know where you can get one very, very cheap. It's stuck in the boot loop, but still...
Brushing think it is to do a full wipe before doing the flash with Flashtool.
When you receive your phone, you've got an update OTA of 98 mb?
Thank you but the phone I have already paid and are waiting for his arrival.
I hope we put less than three weeks since I also took DHL.
In Italy we have a beautiful community where there are developers who work here in Xda, who are fond of Chinese mobile phones and in particular there is a person who develops rom alternatives.
So I guess I would be able to help me if I had the same problem, but I hope I do not have any problems.
You say you had blocks of hibernation in power saving mode enabled, then maybe in normal mode just fine.
I do not usually use the mode energy in any phone I've had.
I prefer to charge the battery when needed.
First I tried only update, after that I tried full wipe.
I did try to disable every power saving mode I could find, but the phone still kept freezing. Although, there are some options that are useful, like limiting cpu for more energy and lower temperature.
I didn't get OTA update, but the seller told me that they had to open the box to install english rom version with google play. Maybe they also installed this update.
got another elife threat here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699708
Here's the quick update: after I manually edited adb_usb.ini file, adb sideload works now. But...none of the rom's I have can be installed with adb (I get 'installation failed' message after transfer).
So, what I need is:
- rom that can be installed via adb sideload
or
- rom that can be installed via flashtool with scatter file (after extensive search of the web, the only rom I could find on several places is the one made 11-03-2014 and this one is not working for me)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks but I already tried that. This only works with Romaster app and it doesn't recognize my phone being connected while on boot loop or recovery mode.
Even my phone is stuck on boot, can anyone help me
Tired of searching everywhere cant find it anywhere, can anyone please share a link from where I can download rom for my gionee elife S5.5 Indian version, my phone was working fine until I installed beats audio It asked to reboot and the then it never rebooted, stuck on gionee boot animation, I also flashed the Chinese rom but it doesn't support, phone was booting up but the rom is too lagging and unstable. I don't want to go to the service center cause my phone is rooted and warranty will be voided, I just bought it two days back. Is CWM available for this phone cause I couldn't find that too, I'd be more than grateful If anyone can help me out I just need the rom file (Indian version), thanks a million !!!!
i also tried to install beat audios on my gionee s5.5 ... and now it is not statting my phone get stucks at boot animation logo "gionee smatyphone"
Here are some good news people: needrom.com site finally released new rom version and it can be installed via adb sideload. It is CH/EN version and even when you switch it to English, some things still stay in Chinese but hey - at least it's not in boot loop anymore and now you have more options for rom installation.
Thanks dev, was so sick of this phone and its features, especially free mobile heater(owen) + worst sound ever + lots of lags, even flappy bird lags on this phone though I had optimised the cpu performance using set cpu to its max by creating a profile to play flappy bird, mediatek chipset sucks happy after entering the snapdragon world, just bought M8 yesterday and believe me this is the best phone till date though the ram is 2gb the processor is a the beast and there's no comparison to it and when it comes to the sound no one can beat htc, the looks it feels so ****n premium, the touch is like butter smooth, loving it!! Thanks
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
how to install rom from needrom via adb shell.?? can anyone explain?
FirmwareFile
https://firmwarefile.com/gionee-s5-5 , i've used T8881 version , and it was good
I'll try to get as straight tot he point as possible.
Been using my Mobile one touch pix 7 for a little over a year and always installed Ota updates. Well I rooted the tablet not too long ago, forgot which method I used, but was working fine.
an Ota update came through and totally forgot it was rooted, and tried to install it, at which point the whole tablet got bricked.
It ended up in recovery, and I selected due to failure, to format and wipe the data.
Anyhow, The unit will stay at the boot screen for a while then show command error and then show the recovery screen, my only options are:
reboot
update from sd card
update via adb
update via memory
reboot Bootloader
power off
Well I've tried updating by downloading system images via adb, they return a verification error.
I've tried using adb side load to try to install an Ota update file I found for it, returns a verification error.
I cannot get into download mode, fast boot mode I think does not work as windows reports 3 android devices, but the mobile update software cannot see anything, and fast boot gets stuck at waiting for devices.
I suspect the tablet is for lack of a better description totally bricked and just a paperweight.
I am at a loss of what to try from this point. I'm sure wiping the data after the failed update killed it completely but not sure.
Anyone have any guidance here? I've downloaded a few images from the web I found that say they are for this tablet model, but still getting verification error.
Is there any flashing software I can get that may be able to access the tablet or can I copy a file to the scared and have it try to run an update from there. I don't care if it is rooted or not, just want to get it usable again.
I can run Mac OS, windows 10, windows 7, windows xp, or even have no issue getting a linux version going, whatever will work best for this I can use it. windows 10 I was able to manually add the drivers but windows 7 is not letting me do it the same way. I can connect via adb sideload only, no other adb functions seem to work.
I'm not a total news when it comes to custom rooms, as I have done it with another tablet, and an android car radio, but those were pretty straight forward and bootable so never ran into a brick issue yet.
I have a feeling this is toast and I hope that is not the case.
If anyone here can help out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks again....
Need help here to. Been searching with no luck. Any my issue is.
Rooted kingroot, flashed twrp with flashify and now I'm stuck on twrp. Been searching for any custom stock rom. I forgot to unlock the bootloader but I did enable usb debugging (i didn't see any oem options).
Any k 28532Jonsunf of help would be greatly appreciated.
This sorta happen to me. I rooted pixi 7 with kingroot, and was able to delete a lot of bloatware. However, when I was using lucky patcher it pretty much messed up the play store. But it was fine. I could download stuff through the Internet. But sooner or later I needed to fix it. Tryed a lot of ways but it didn't help. So I factory reset the tabletand now im stuck at the Setup Wizard. It just won't let me let me through. I thought its was over, but then I get a message saying there is an update available. So I download it and installed it. But all I get at the end is error. So now I need to flash it with stock. I tried the img. too, but it doesnt show up in the recover menu. If you found a solution please tell me
Can anyoonneee help me find a good Custom Rom for the alcatel one touch pixi 7 (9006W)? Sucks that there's not much info for this device (probably cause the device sucks lol) I'm running on lollipop 5.0.2 and am not able to get OTA update due to rooting. Unrooting didn't help. It seems only answer is custom rom but don't want to risk bricking it as I don't have a computer at home. Also, I am new to this so if anyone can share some insight, I'd be eternally grateful
P.s
It's a t mobile device but I only use it on wifi.
Am using kingroot.
Have never installed a custom rom
****ing device is 8 gigs. 1 gig Ram.
Is it possible to get Nougat?
Help meeee lol
[HELP][G3][VS985]issue connecting to PC on fastboot, need to reflash TWRP & SuperSU
Hello, thank you for this great forum with helpful members, I'm having an issue with an LG G3 VS985, fastboot won't recognize it while in bootloader, I need to reflash TWRP.
First of all, thank you for reading this long testament [most important details in bold if TL;TR], wanted to be as detailed as possible, maybe it will help you help me better hehe sorry about that.
Let me give you the event sequence if it helps.
> Phone had Cloudy G3 2.5 rooted with SuperSU and TWRP 2.8.6.0 since I rooted it back in 2016.
I was having some issues with phone not recognizing micro sd card and OTG-USB after messing around with encrypting it, I was curious but didn't need it, anyways. Although I dropped the phone in water a couple weeks prior so there is a chance the issue is hardware related.
That was like 4-5 months ago.
Finally decided to do a file backup and reinstall everything yesterday apr-5-2019.
> Rebooted into TWRP and erased everything (data, cache, dalvik, system, even internal storage) because I wanted a new install on everything.
> Flashed the latest official TWRP version for my device (3.0.2.0)
> Had a lot of issues flashing crDroid, found out I downloaded the wrong build, although I had to edit updater-script on the right one to make it work.
> Flashed crDroid 5.2_20190326 with open GApps for Android 9.0 Stock
> First issue encountered, I couldn't charge the phone turned off, because the battery logo appears but but doesn't do the animation and reboots the phone, I read it might be an issue with TWRP.
> Tried to flash SuperSU 2.82 SR5 with TWRP but had a LG secure boot error and couldn't boot up android.
> RE-flashing android and open GApps fixed this issue.
> Re-attempted the process several times, even wiping everything down more than a couple times, including re-flashing android several times to no avail, I was not able to flash SuperSU successfully.
I even flashed an old tool "MR.Bump" but system kept unrooted so unsuccessful.
> Reflashed Android for the last time and start reading again (after 8 hours attempting to do it well), I read that TWRP version might be the problem to flash SuperSU, so
HERE is where I have the current issue:
> Downloaded the official TWRP version 3.1.0 and flashed it.
There is no official support for 3.1.0 for the VS985 so I'm guessing it was a generic .img, of course I messed up TWRP.
> Downloaded and installed official LGMobile Drivers 4.2.0 (latest), downloaded android drivers (15 second ADB installer 1.4.3) and Android platform tools 28.0.2 on windows.
> When conected in PTP and transfer files in win7 it recognizes all the drivers well, was able to reboot the phone into bootloader from android platform tools successfully, means there is good communication between the device and PC.
The issue is once the phone is in the bootloader and trying to flash TWRP, win7 has issues installing CDC serial drivers, in the end in device manager all drivers seems installed but win notification center says there was a problem installing LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Modem, seems to be issues with CDC Serial or something, when trying to access the properties on the VZW USB Modem it freezes so there's an issue here.
That means when doing adb devices or fastboot devices command, doesn't find anything.
Tried the same in win10, had different driver problems but in the end everything gets installed after rebooting. Same issue, no response from phone when in bootloader.
Message is "Waiting for any device".
Maybe there is an issue with some low-level driver/kernel/firmware that is creating this issue, I would even consider to flash stock LG Android to start from scratch, if you have any guide on how to do it please provide the links!
Additional note: When connecting the phone in USB Tethering win7 gives bluescreen.
> FORTUNATELY I messed TWRP but the phone can still boot android so it's not rendered unusable (yet lol).
I must admit I wasn't super careful downloading some stuff, I did it old school (trial and error) and most of the times it works, I consider myself being a little tech savvy, but right now I'm stuck, I guess I could continue using the phone like this but if I have any issues it would be difficult to resolve and I would lose functionality without root (I could live unrooted though but I wanna resolve this) and honestly I love the G3 so why change it? haha.
BTW I found these on the net, do you recommend it? what TWRP do you recommend for the VS985?
I downloaded and wanted to install this one https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/recovery-unofficial-multirom-twrp-artx-t3657524
and found this one supposedly 3.2.1 for the vs985 here: https://basketbuild.com/devs/yshalsager/TwrpBuilder/lge/vs985
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

This is a zip file with all the tools and files you need and instructions on how to use them.
What it covers:
Restoring bricked device (as long as download mode still works)
Unlocking bootloader (firmware dependent)
Rooting (any firmware)
Installing a custom recovery (any firmware)
Installing a custom ROM (any firmware)
I made this because all the guides for this phone were seemingly outdated, and some required tools and files were incredibly hard to find. Didn't want anyone else going through the pain I went through to break this phone open.
Thank you so much for uploading this. The charging port on my Nexus died and I have to use my old Note 2 as a backup, but I forget how this old piece of junk works. This should be very helpful.
I rooted and flashed twrp to boot to a triangle saying system software not authorized. Tried 3 firmwares and wont boot correctly. I got error about firmware update failed use kies... Kies won't do anything and kies 3 says unsupported device. On the 3rd firmware (root66 rooted stock ) firmware file I now am back to the original triangle system software not authorized by Verizon ..
How do I fix this?!?

Did you read my guide? You can't flash TWRP unless you successfully unlocked your bootloader with Casual, otherwise you are limited to SafeStrap. Also you can't restore with Kies, you have to use Odin and the files I've included to restore.

Nice to see people still looking for something like this, so my guide wasn't for nothing!
I was geeked to see this!! but then i got "This item might not exist or is no longer available"
I take it back.. i let it sit on the "failed" page for like 2 min, and randomly it popped up with a download!
Well the auto bootloader didn't work, so now i'm at the root section. However i'm getting an error where ADB isn't detecting my phone. USB debug is on, and i'm definitely in media mode and not installer. The phone shows up in windows and looks good, but adb doesnt detect. I opened command prompt and ran adb /? and found adb devices -l, and it reports "list of devices" and theres nothing in the list. I can't imagine why it's not seeing it. I tried turning on and off debug mode, switching from camera mode to media, changing usb ports. still nothing comes up, but windows sees it fine. grrrr
*edit, well since we can't delete posts i'll leave this here, because i have to. But what i did was re-open the "no you verizon" and it showed DISCONNECTED also. I changed usb ports like 3 times, turned usb debug on and off, changed from installer mode, to camera, to media mode, restarted the phone and the computer multiple times.. and then it just all of a sudden was detected again. So i went with it and it seems to have worked.
-it took 3 times to actually work, you noted it may take multiples, and it sure did. I ran it through the command prompt so i could read the text, and it took 5 times longer and reported much more stuff when it actually worked.
-final edit: if you can't unlock your bootloader, you're still stuck with ditto or alliance from 2014, and lots of apps won't update on android that old. So if you thought this guide was some holy grail, it is not. But still useful if you need the assist, so thanks to the author.
Hi, total noob here, I just bought Verizon note 2 at a yard sale but there is a pin I don't know. When I went to do a factory reset it booted into TWRP, so I am assuming is rooted. Do I need to be able to get into the phone to use your tools? I know nothing about TWRP. I would like to install a newer Android version and unlock it so I can use TMobile. Thanks
Something wrong...
when i try to load this file from the packages folder i get an error message:
"md5 error! Binary is invalid"
none of the other three works for me. they all come back ailed.
any suggestions?
awesome! thanks for posting this, just found my old note 2 and want to get it up and running again for the kids.
Kudos!
Used this to get my Note 2 up and going again temporarily until the Pixel 4a release...
NOTE: I had strange issues with Odin on my modern X570 board (USB 3.2 Gen 2) where I did not receive any errors, yet the process would randomly seem to time out. Sometimes I'd get stuck at flashing boot.img, sometimes it would hang up at the start, once I got to flashing system.img and it seemed to hang....
Used an older PC circa 2013, no issues! Not the first time I've had issues with this newer motherboard and older USB flashing interfaces; had the same issue on my Note 8 (RIP) as well.
excited to try this.
I'm on some rooted 4.4.2 stock-looking rom. Recovery doesn't look custom.
Hoping to be able to install a working Oreo or Pie ROM
great post, bought a couple of these for almost nothing and am having fun playing with them. sadly they are both 4.4.2 but its great fun anyway.

Thank you for sharing. Always difficult to find those tools after a few years!!!
Hello, I am actually brand new to xda-developers, I have did something stupid I guess... So, I had stock firmware and I already have it rooted and installed twrp. At this point, I have tried many many things and it is telling me No OS now with TWRP (I boot-looped it by uninstalling bixby :v) and wiped the data, formatted it, and all of that and more. I keep getting errors with everything, the most common ones I seen is ERROR: 1 and ERROR: 7, I know this is useless information but I had one about updating dynamic partitions with trying to install Lineage OS. I tried installing GApps thinking that would fix it, it tells me that it is made for ROM 11.0.x and told me to download the one for my ROM: 11 (SDK 29). I have no clue what that means or anything, but to me, it seems I have pretty much screwed up my phone somehow all from uninstalling Bixby.
Odin will not work, I have installed the right Samsung drivers (my windows PC is ****ed too, majorly somehow. Might have something to do with it).
ADB will not recognize my device, in twrp recovery or download mode. ADB Sideload function of twrp does not load (sits there forever).
I really, really need help. Please.
TL;DR
Uninstalled Bixby with Lucky Patcher and System App Remover, phone decided to reboot hours later and got stuck in boot-loop.
I have not been able to do anything flashing wise. ADB does not work, so I am stuck transferring files to/from my PC with a USB stick w/ OTG Adapter. It seems to work ok, as I was successful in flashing TWRP recovery (updated it from somewhere).
I need my phone, and it does not function in its current state and I am clueless on what to do (I get all sorts of errors that seem unfixable).
I last had Android 11 (stock firmware) on my phone before it was boot-looped.
Exact Phone: [Excuse me if I am not allowed to post links, but it is just to amazon of the phone I bought if it helps anyone] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082YF7WY5
TWRP Version: 3.5.0_10-A11_1b1
Samsung Galaxy A51 A515F 128GB DUOS GSM UnlockedUS Compatible LTEExynos 9611 Chipset
Fastest way to contact me: Cyberhound#5672 on Discord.
I will try to respond as fast as I can, but I am without a phone :/
NOTE: I have resolved this issue.
I flashed stock firmware using OTG (just the .img's) and then reinstalled Samsung USB Drivers, restarted my computer, connected an old phone that worked so I could verify if the USB Driver was working (and so ADB as well).
I reconnected in TWRP Recovery, and it worked and showed up on Odin.
I was able to flash stock firmware successfully.
