I have a ZTE Avail 2 which I recently managed to root with Cydia Impactor. Afterwards I managed to screw it up by removing too many stock apps with Titanium. I did it carefully, one by one, and for a few days everything seemed to work fine. But then apps started force-closing, '<name of app here> has stopped working', etc. Factory reset doesnt help, it just restores me to the same screwed up state I'm in now. I already know why, it's because I removed some of the stock apps, which I now realize it needs. I'm currently stuck on the AT&T logo when powering on, it never gets any further. But even while it was messed up it was still halfway-operable, and now this. This device's subforum on Android Forums is all but non-existent, and XDA doesnt seem to have anything for it.
What I need is a 100% stock ROM (pre-rooted if possible) that I can flash, along with instructions on how to flash it. I have some experience flashing ASUS devices and Samsung devices, mainly the Transformer pad, and the Note 2, but have also rooted miscellaneous other devices in the past without alot of issues. But I have no experience with ZTE. I've already checked the manaufacturer's website for some kind of recovery software I can use to restore it, there doesnt seem to be anything.
Thanks for any help!

did you ever get around to doing this? there is supposedly a stock image on androidforums but when I opened the Zip, all it had was the stock apps, no build.prop, which I think I blew away with xblast (xposed plugin). now I hang on the boot screen image. there is a stock Rom for the z993 our there, which I suppose I could use, because they are supposed to be the same phone, just different carriers... but then I need to get the at&t apn's and it is just a PITA. so if you could post /system backup or just a stock build.prop, that would be great!
(I'd post links to these rooms but I guess I'm too new of a member... I can provide them if needed.)
I'm way late on this, but just thought I'd post to say that I no longer have the device, and I was never able to fix it.In any case, I hope the rest of you guys get it fixed. It seemed to be a halfway decent phone, although a bit sluggish at times. But beyond that, with all the bloat removed, I'd say it ran pretty well for the duration of time that I had it (less than a month). I currently have a GNote 3 (T-Mobile) and a GNote Pro 12.2" now and it's just awesome, I'm really loving them.
Sorry, accidental double-post (can't figure out how to delete this post, the "Edit/Delete" button doesnt appear to have any option to entirely delete a post).
Just like "AnonVendetta83" messed up using Titanium.
Now desperately looking for Stock ROM or any working custom ROM to bring phone back to life.:crying:

There is a working custom Rom for the z993 (identical hardware, different customized software for AIO, another cell provider). All you will need to do is change/update the data provider stuff so you can still use 3g and mms's. Plenty of info on this online on what needs to be changed.
You can get this Rom over at androidforums.com
http://androidforums.com/prelude-all-things-root/792279-zte-prelude-z993-stock-unrooted-rom-aio.html
There is also a cwm recovery there that works on this phone, and a partial /system backup by someone else for the z992... it is just apps and what not.
If they aren't available anymore, let me know and ill see if I still have them saved somewhere for you.

Thank you so very much Alex
I was wondering if I can just simply place the rom zip on the root of your sdcard and continue without doing "Install CWM - ZTE Prelude (Z993) Root&Recovery" step???
Honestly I have absolutely no idea how to do CWM steps as they come so complicated to me.

You need to install the custom recovery... It is the only way to install the zip file. If you just have the zip and go into the stock recovery I don't think you can select which zip to install

Thnx Alex
I would highly appreciate if anyone tell me what ADB Driver I should use for ZTE Z992. I almost understood all the procedure in the links but now the problem is despite I tried different ADB Drivers, but still ADB reboot-bootloader boots phone again in Normal bootloader.
Also Fastboot devices command does not see the phone, while ADB Devices command see it.
Seems bootloader is locked. Right? What should I do?
This is the method I used when I rooted my avail2 :
http://androidforums.com/zte-avail-2-zte-prelude/821217-how-root-zte-avail-2-z992-guide.html
The author (and I) just used the included drivers from zte that come with the phone. From what I remember, fastboot worked fine. Just hold the volume down button then turn the phone on. It will seem to lock on the start screen, but this is the bootloader. Then connect your cable and try your fastboot commands.
If you are already rooted, you can just download the package here
http://androidforums.com/prelude-all-things-root/797487-cwm-recovery-installer-zte-prelude.html
And skip the middle section, using the impactor to root (13 and 14).
Depending on what's wrong with your phone, you could also try just using the stock recovery and doing a system reset there. It will wipe any bad custom settings, but if the rom is still viable it might get you up and running again. It got me out of a bootloop without re-romming the whole thing. And with titanium backup or system app mover you can reinstall anything you need in the system partition.

A bit to much fiddling resulted in disaster
Hello XDA forum users,
I'm about ready to toss this phone in the trash. I have an AT&T Avail 2 with model number z992, which is apparently manufactured by a company called ZTE. First I think it would be helpful to explain what I've done to the phone and perhaps others out there can tell me if I've destroyed the phone or if it can be fixed.
A friend of mine sold me the phone for 10 bucks, its in great condition which is why its such a shame that it seems perma-bricked. I have no need for the phone aspect of the device, I simply wanted to "convert" it to a handheld media/application player, like an ipod or tablet for example. The phone comes with several bundled software applications that I find completely useless and wanted them removed, EX. AT&T Navigator and other AT&T software, plus a bunch of google applications.
The first thing I did when I decided to try and customize it was to use Kango's root tool which worked and rooted the phone. I was all excited that it worked and continued by installing the Super User application which allowed me to gain full control over the device. (I should have stopped there.) After the successful phone root I then installed a 3rd party app called NoBloat and used its uninstall options to remove a lot of stuff. I couldn't tell you exactly what all was removed but looking back, it must have been more important than I realized at the time. I know I took out all the AT&T software, then all the Google stuff to, which destroyed the play store. I didn't take out anything that seemed like a system file but apparently the Google stuff is the system files. The phone still worked in this state but it was erratic and things like Contacts would crash even if it was not running. So I considered that a failed attempt and commenced to do a factory reset using the recovery menu (Vol Up + Menu Key + Power button) but the factory reset didn't work, well not like it was supposed to. I had used the restore option before and it made the phone work like it was brand new. Now when the phone is powered on it will boot to the initial setup and ask me to choose a language, then it will get as far as the wireless connection screen (sometime not even that far) and the phone reports that "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." and then I tap OK and the setup wizard restarts at the language screen. This is the state it is in now and I do not know how to fix it, I'm beginning to think there currently is no method to fix this.
Things I've tried so far include installing minimal ADB-Fastboot to try and sideload various ROM images, the ones I found here and other places. The phone is not recognized by Windows 7 though and the ADB does not work like it did on a motorola phone I did this to before. I've also purchased an inexpensive 8GB microSD chip with an adapter so I could put the ROM info on that and tried the "Update from external storage option" and that seems like it would work but none of the ROM's I've used will install. I guess because there is some kind of security feature built into the phones hardware which checks the data files for specific tags/sizes and therefore won't accept any of the ROMS I've tried.
There is no means to access the old file system anymore like most guides show, I do not have any CWM's installed nor any backup data whatsoever. It's been reset and now it seems the data it used to restore itself is, while not completely missing, damaged and will not reload anymore. All the guides I've read or watched usually show the user in the operating system or using software on a PC to type out commands. None of that works on this phone though, the phone as I just described it is basically bricked. Is there anything that can fix this, or is the phone a paper weight now? A functional ROM image from AT&T seems unlikely as they have absolutely no relevant information about this on the commercial website and the help and support seems like it's setup for old people who don't understand technology at all. If anyone out there has experience with issues like this then by all means let me know. If more information is necessary then I will be glad to provide it if available.
Alright I did manage to figure out how to make the computer see the phone as an ADB device and the minimal ADB interface shows the device now when I type ADB devices at the command prompt. Though this ADB thing seems irrelevant considering I can do the same thing by using the SD card adapter. So I don't know if this was useful or not. The ADB prompt shows a device number of P752A15.
Before I was unable to make the device show up at all in the ADB list. The problem now is how to make the phone accept a ROM, at this point I don't even care if the ROM is the default factory ROM or some random ROM made by a devoted user. The issue I encounter each time is that the built in recovery option to restore from an SD card will not accept the ROM's I've tried so far, and my research on this seems to indicate that I need a custom recovery option. This is apparently called the ClockWorkMod but as to how I install that without a functional operating system on the device is a mystery still. I've tried using a file called recovery.zip and but it does not show up when I view the contents of the SD card when the card is in the phone.
I feel like an idiot because I've done this to other phones for my family and friends, you know jailbreaking an iPhone, and rooted a Galaxy S3 once but this phone seems like its not going to be as easy as those others. I guess AT&T made sure that if you alter it, it breaks the phone. I'll check back later and see if anyone has dropped a line or two here in response to my inquiry.
Thank you and have good day.

Ok, been a while since I've used this phone, but hopefully this will help. I assume you have the kaw202_recoveryflasher.zip file. Once you extract it, look for the .img file. Try running these adb commands
adb.exe push cwm-z993.img /cache
adb.exe shell "su -c 'dd if=/cache/cwm-z993.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17'
This should flash cwm if your phone is rooted and adb shell is working.

I have not come across that particular file yet, I did try to google it and the only results it had were two and one of those was this post. Would you mind telling me where I might find a copy of the kaw202_recoverflasher.zip?
I managed to find the zip you were talking about and have downloaded it, for anyone else looking for it. I am unable to post links but I would have linked to the files you mentioned. For others looking for the same zip file search for "CWM Recovery Installer ZTE PRELUDE". That's the title of the thread I found the file on that Alex mentioned above. The instructions on the page don't seem like they apply to the situation I'm stuck in but I'll give it a whirl anyway and see if the files work.
If this forum is like the others I've read through so far then there is no real answer to the issue. The phone seems kind of new and not many of the power users on these forums use rinky dink phones like this one. You guys all have the 600 dollar models I guess. What bugs me about this this phone and the state I managed to put it in, is that the damn thing was programmed the first time when it was made. So it seems to me like there should be a way to reprogram the phone the same way the factory did it. Think about it, when they make the phones they don't have any information on the phone at all. It's completely empty, so there must be a way to load the software for the phone even if the phone has no data at all in the main storage. If the files in the recovery flasher.zip file work then I'll post back the results but if it's like the other files I've messed around with (which didn't do anything) then I'm throwing it in the trash can.
Anyway thanks for your response and for pointing me in a different direction Alex
---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------
HELL YEAH!!! It worked thank you Alex, ​
I would have never figured this out without your help! The phone now has a version of CWM on it and the recovery menu is different. I just tried to install a ROM and it said successful. After the phone rebooted went back to the setup screen from ZTE but it still did the same thing. However this is progress and I should be able to "wander in the dark" and figure out a way to use the CWM to install a completely new rom. Any recommendations on a ROM to use for the z992?
Good news, I was able to fix it using the information Alex guided me to find. Since there doesn't appear to be a stock AT&T version of the ROM I ended up using the Azazel ROM. Which at first failed even though it was installed, this I determined was due to the old ROM image still being partially active on the system partition. So I formatted the system partition to and tried again. This time it worked and the phone seems fully functional again, and best of all the annoying bloatware is not present and the apps are not crashing. I consider this issue resolved. Thank you again Alex I will be sure to leave a thanks on your post.

Glad I could help, but none of the work was done by me, the guys over at android central did all the heavy lifting, I just pointed you in the right direction. I have a stock system e m image around here somewhere if you need it, tho installation will be a bit more complicated. If azazels rom ever gives you issues, ill dig it up and try and help you install it.

Just got my phone yday. I've scoured the Ascend Mate2 threads, and al I see are questions about re-rooting the Lollipop build. Since it looks like Huawei has rescinded their Lollipop ROM for the moment, I'm just hanging on 4.3. With a screen this HUGE, I'd love to root to be able to lower the DPI. Can anyone advise how to do that? Or am I better just waiting for Huawei to officially release Lollipop?
EDIT: so I found this -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61682526&postcount=3. I'm confused, cuz one page of Huawei's blog says they hit pause on the 5.1 rollout, yet this 5.1 download looks like it's hosted on GetHuawei.com. I'm so confused...

Since you just got your phone, I would say get to know it on 4.3 first. Lollipop is prettier, but you can do more root things on JB, it runs better, has better battery life, and is an all around better experience, IMO.
Lollipop doesn't have xposed either, if you planned on using that. On top of that, it is missing some core functionality like a startup manager(apps that should be running after a reboot are not!) and has a crippling audio bug.
First thing you have to do for root is email Huawei with your IMEI and SN asking for a bootloader unlock code.
[email protected]
Here is the email I sent them:
Hello, I would like a code to unlock the bootloader on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2, please.
Serial - *********
IMEI - *******
Thank you

I then got an unlock code within minutes, so it may or may not be somewhat automated.
TWRP for Mate2
Basically that is a zip file with everything that you need to install TWRP on the Mate2. It has:
SHM's Unified TWRP(v2.8.7.3).
Huawei drivers
ADB/Fastboot
SuperSu(v2.46)
stock 5.1 recovery(just incase)
!Readme file with step by step.
TWRP is needed to install SuperSu, which in turn gives you root.
First, make sure you leave all the files in the same folder. Extract them anywhere, like your desktop. Install the Huawei drivers if you don't already have them installed.
***Put the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip on your phone's sdcard somewhere easy to find***
1. Turn off your phone
2. Hold Volume DOWN and Power button for a few seconds. When the screen turns on let go of the power button.
3. Now you should be on the bootloader screen, also known as fastboot.
4. Plug your phone into your PC and wait a minute to make sure any additional drivers are installed and setup.
5. Hold shift and right click an empty space in the folder you downloaded with adb.exe and fastboot.exe and select "Open command window here". A command window should open.
6. In command window type 'fastboot devices' and make sure it says there is a fastboot device. If it doesn't, that means your drivers didn't work. Try unplugging your phone and using another USB port.
7. If it showed a device, its working. Type 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'
8. If successful, your phone now has twrp installed
9. While still in fastboot, hold VOLUME UP and the POWER BUTTON for about 8 to 10 seconds, as soon as the screen turns off and then back on again, let both buttons go.
10. In TWRP, hit install and find your UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip and flash it.
11. Should be rooted and good to go.
12. I included the stock recovery if you ever want/need to go back. Just follow the same steps but replace "twrp.img" with "stock_recovery.img"

To lower DPI on our phone, a line will need to be added to the build.prop in the "root/system/" directory.
Add:
Code:
ro.sf.lcd_density=264
to the end of the text on a new line. 264 is the lowest you can go without causing multiple apps to crash.
You can go lower, but you will need Xposed and App settings to change the crashing apps to 264 or above.
Wow, thank you SO much for all of this!! So awesome of you!

Build prop editor on Google play store can very easily change your dpi. And makes a backup if you want to go back. Better than modding it yourself. And I agree with ark. Hold.off on L until things are fixed. Or until Tom get cm12 up and going.
Props to Ark for putting so much effort into his reply. (I would not have done the same.)
My advice to this self proclaimed "noob" is to read the threads and get more educated before just posting a question that has already been answered with it's own thread. All of the info that Ark posted is in these forums. Please don't get in the habit of asking to be spoon fed. That is certainly frowned upon on XDA.

I had most of it done and copy pasted from another post I already made.
I'm glad someone finally gave simple comprehensive instruction. Unlike someone stated above, it was not that easy to find. I have had my phone for about 1 1/2 months since I returned from vacation in Europe. Ordered it online from Frys while I was there. Anyway, I have searched many times for instructions and couldn't find one thing definitive. Always comments alluding to root, and "does this keep root after update" or "how to get root back" or "this root method didn't work" etc... But never could I find instructions on how to achieve root on stock 4.3 until now. So Thank you sooo much. Now are we sure about the email link you provided above? Because I sent them (Basically copy and pasted ) your email above email twice. About a week ago, and a few days ago. And still no response! Any other suggestions? And shouldn't this be stickied since Root is the most basic of function of what we all want?
Some great information in this thread. Thanks guys. So unlocking the bootloader will wipe the device correct?
I got my unlock code and was going to unlock and make the device see itself as OEM. I was going to install L but it sure seems from the few posts here that it might not be worth it. Crippling audio bug? Can anyone elaborate on that?
Would it be better to unlock, convert my device to OEM and register with Huawei for OTA updates and simply wait for an official release? If I do the conversion, will the OS still be 4.3 at least?
Just like the thought of the updated Huawei EMUI 3 1.
I'm reading so many different confusing post. So does towelroot or kingroot work on MT2 L03 Android 4.3? I've read other places those methods work? And does anyone have the instructions on the easiest way to unlock bootloader (I hear that is necessary before we root)? I already have the unlock code. This phone has been in a box for the last 1 1/2 months waiting for me to have the time to play. Thank you.

The audio bug is a bug that happens while listening to any audio. The audio will cut off completely. If you press the either of the volume keys, the phone will basically freeze for around 30 seconds and then usually it starts working like normal again.
It happened to me very often, like every time I listened to anything. But after installing Viper and its drivers and boosting the audio levels I haven't had this bug happen once. So that seems like a fix to me.

It happened to me very often, like every time I listened to anything. But after installing Viper and its drivers and boosting the audio levels I haven't had this bug happen once. So that seems like a fix to me.

Hmmm. I have finally loaded LP, but haven't messed too much with audio playback. I'll have to listen for it. So where is this viper that I can load?

Hello,
I've got myself a tablet the other day. It's a Point of View TAB I847. Android 5.1
I was at a friends house and wanted to try the tablet. So I registered some random account at google because I couldn't remember the password of my own.
Today I resetted the device and wanted to start over with my actual account. Now I'm stuck at the point where I'm supposed to sign in with the account I've previously used with the tablet, and I couldn't remember the login to save my life.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? Even somehow figuring out the gmail account name I used would help me, because I remember the password.
PS: I'm very mad at google for activating this feature without telling me about it before I was resetting the device.
Did you do a factory reset using recovery? That should work if you haven't tried it yet
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA-Developers mobile app
@jantdroid solution would work for sure
Press volume up and power key simultaneously until phone boots and then release the power key. It make take up to 20sec to boot into recovery. Once in recovery, either choose a factory reset option or wipe user data (whatever option you get ).
Do a reboot after that, and it will be as if you're using it for first time
Hmm yeah I did that. I chose "wipe data/factory reset" and it does that. But once the device rebooted and I'm setting it up, Google asks me to log-in with the account that I have previously synched the device with (which I can't remember).
If you've a warranty, get to your retailer to get it fixed (carry your bill there )
If not, head over to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838435, make sure you've the same device then and then only proceed to below step.
1.flash a custom recovery, reboot into recovery and do a full wipe.
Reboot, this time it should work.
2.thought, you won't require this, if you will, flash any custom rom and don't flash gapps. Boot the rom, setup your device and then reboot to recovery and flash the gapps and reboot. (This time google is out of your way )

This is basically the next step if the factory reset didn't work. I don't think the retailer will consider this problem as under warranty though.
It would be wise yo recover your google account by all means, backup email address, phone recovery pasword, etc.
If you're really out of hand of everything in trying to recover your google account.
Then that's the time you try to flash a custom recovery and/or flash a custom rom to regain access to your phone.

Thank you guys. I've contacted the dealer but they basically said that they can't help me. They don't take back locked devices either. This is the biggest case "not owner of my own device" I've ever experienced personally.
I'm trying to flash it now. Though I'm not sure how I'm going to "Enable debugging on device" without being able to access it
Also pretty sure it's not the same device(?). Mine is by Point Of View and produced in 2016 also known as "Mobii TAB-I847"
If you can't remember the credentials you used you have a problem:
http://www.pcnexus.net/2015/12/what...-google-72-hour-lockout-android-lollipop.html
I don't know this device but if there's a 4.4 rom for it, it could help you.

Oh well, I tried the stuff he shows in the video, but it seems they have fixed the "share" exploit. I managed to use the camera app from the lockscreen though! so that's a huge step forward
Purchasing a OTG now, might come in handy.
Also purchased a new tablet now because I've already spent too much time and energy on this. Might come back to it later though. GOOD GAME GOOGLE! Next time please ask if I want your silly protection feature, k?

Well that is one feature used in LL 5.1 and looks like it's just a mimic of iOS lockdown feature too. Flashing a ROM less than 5.1 just like KK will remove that lockdown. Goodluck on unlocking it again in the future. [emoji1]

How would I got about doing this though? I don't see a way to flash anything on to it without getting past the FRP first...
Also I can't seem to find a custom rom for this model. Or are there like generic ones? Sorry, I'm a noob in this field...
Sorry to say but your device is different so don't flash it.
Until something new to recover it, is found out you can go to mobile specialist to get your device qflash(ed). (This is same method by which a factory system is installed )

Thank you! This is interesting. I'm talking to the support of the company at the moment and they asked for the steps to reproduce it. Maybe there's a chance they can do something.
Hi
I have recently aquired a Gionee W909 from China,
its running a Mediatek MT6755.
Since this phone is currently only available in China, the stock rom AmigoOS sv1.2 is the only rom I can find for it. and its based on lollipop 5.1
The phone comes without any gapps at all. Since I am using this in North America, I need all the gapps installed.
Kingroot works on this phone, so my phone is rooted with kingroot, trying to install gapp
I have googled a few articles saying install google framework, login service, play service, and then install vending in system/app via RE, and then install play store.
all the methods relating to downloading the service/framework apk, and then putting vending in system, have all failed catastrophically.
all of these ends up with a "service" has stopped working, and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped", i've tried installing everything in system/app, or some in system/app, always made sure chmod is rw r r, and nothing worked.
I have also been trying to flash tk gapps and open gapps, downloaded ver 5.1 tried both 32 bit and 64bit. The stock recovery menu has an option to flash a zip onto it, it just doesnt read the tk gapps or the open gapps, the installation always terminate after a few seconds.
so i wanted to flash a twrp or a cwm recovery onto it, but there isnt one made for this phone yet, so i found another gionee phone, gn9007's twrp recovery which was on a chinese site, and tried to flash that in with its own one click flashing software. and it failed. Which seemed to me that boot loader is locked.
so I installed drivers and adb and fastboot.
when i tried fastboot oem unlock, the phone did prompt me and ask me if i wanted to unlock bootloader, and i pressed volume up/yes, and it gives me an error saying unlock operation is not allowed. none of the other flash oem commands work, such as flash oem device-info or flash oem get_identifier_token or get_unlock_data
so now im stuck trying to install gapps on this phone.
any idea is welcome.
thanks
Edit 1
today i tried using flashfire to flash the gapps zip file, and it didnt work, flashfire just stayed black screen for hours, even though the phone is rooted, theres no twrp or cwm made for it, is there any other way? I have also tried google installer made for MIUI, and ended up with service has stopped working, and com.google.process.gapps has stopped
bump ><
I hope you find a solution to this, I guess the phone has just come out. I really want to buy this phone, just need those gapps.

Hi. i am interested in getting the same phone as well. but waiting till you, or someone else finds a solution to the Gapps Problem. the solution would be simple enough i guess, but needs a Dev to work a bit on it.
i would like to ask a few questions to you though about the phone.
1. If your phone is rooted, have you as a temporary fix tried connecting your phone as USB and downloaded apk files from the internet and installing manually ??
2. i have the Lenovo a588t flip phone and the selfie camera when the flip is open is inverted in all the apps example SnapChat/Instagram/Skype etc.. is it the same with the Gionee W909 phone as well.
3. is 4G working well on your phone ?
4. How often do you need to open the flip or everything works well from outer screen only. Picking calls etc.
5. are u able to run Dual Whatsapp and Dual apps for both the sims or only 1 app for the phone.
and anything interesting about the phone also you can state.. while i try to look for someone who can help fix this problem. thanks alot
EDIT1 :: this was the link we followed to convert our phone rom (Lenovo a588t android 4.4) to a rooted rom and also create a CWM recovery for the phone. im sure this might lead you somewhere. as its for MTK related phones. please have a look
https://www.myrl.net/article/43
EDIT2 :: try looking for a phone with a similar MTK chipset and try to install GAPPS on your phone that way. im sure that would help
EDIT3 :: Atleast you can upload ur downloaded ROM on needrom .com so others can avail benefit of it ?? lol
I bought a w909, it just arrived this morning. The seller made sure I knew gapps wouldn't work on it, but I'm fairly comfortable with following online steps to flash firmware (have done it in the past with Motorola Droid versions). So I'm thinking it shouldn't be too difficult once someone figures out how to bypass the Chinese googlewall.
It was quick and easy to root with Kingo.
I'd be fine with a Cyanogen mod too! Subscribing to this thread for updates on whether anyone has managed to successfully install working gapps.
Honestly I'd be fine without the Play store, just want gmail, calendar, etc.

I bought it from liaow dot com and the manager of that site was the most helpful and informative person I have EVER bought from. Most reassuring online buying experience I have ever had. The price wasn't the lowest I'd see across the internet, but it was fairly close... lower than Ebay and Aliexpress at least.
1. If your phone is rooted, have you as a temporary fix tried connecting your phone as USB and downloaded apk files from the internet and installing manually ??
I tested installing the gapps apk just to confirm that it wouldn't work (it didn't). But manual install of a 3rd party appmarket .apk worked great, no issues.
2. i have the Lenovo a588t flip phone and the selfie camera when the flip is open is inverted in all the apps example SnapChat/Instagram/Skype etc.. is it the same with the Gionee W909 phone as well.
I haven't tried any of these yet but I haven't had any inversion on the inner screen.
3. is 4G working well on your phone ?
I haven't tested a SIM card in it yet. I don't plan to until I can flash the ROM to something that will allow installation of gapps.
4. How often do you need to open the flip or everything works well from outer screen only. Picking calls etc.
You could get by without opening the flip phone at all. Everything works from the touchscreen and side hardware buttons. But flipping it open is pretty awesome for the physical camera button on the keypad and for dialing.
5. are u able to run Dual Whatsapp and Dual apps for both the sims or only 1 app for the phone.
Didn't test this yet.
and anything interesting about the phone also you can state.. while i try to look for someone who can help fix this problem. thanks alot
The stock apps are not great. Lots of Chinese bloatware. Particularly the embedded browser is bad... it's got the Great Firewall built in (google 404s).
Long shot is this phone will be AMAZING once it can be flashed with gapps. Until that time, it's not great.

hi .. any update on the phone usage.. what about Gapps ?? any luck on that

None at all. The worst thing was, I rooted the device, then was playing around with it and tried to install the OTA firmware update. Whoops-- bricked the phone.
I have had no success even finding a Gionee representative whom I can ask for a new ROM, in English. No email address even.
I tried getting some support at Hovatek paid forum, but to no success. It's hard to get Windows to recognize the device and use the MTK drivers required to allow MTK Droid Tools or other flashing tools to work with it. The support at Hovatek was getting pretty frustrated with me, and was looking for a ROM and not finding one.

Here you go bro.. all 3 versions are here i believe .. v1.1 , v1.2 and v1.3 .. Lookup Version History for 1 and 2.
https://translate.googleusercontent...?id=55&usg=ALkJrhgcxz_nskOsTcaN72_pYQHOqLXEbg
Incase the link wont work.. go to google translate.. Translate from Chinese to English the link www.amigo.cn
and go to firmware downloads and select your mobile.. im sure you need to register somewhere (no need to register i checked).. but thats for you to do.. lol.. i did my part. im not sure if the downloads are OTA updates or full ROMS as of now.. but 1.6GB of data should be a ROM. in any case .. they have to be installed as a zip file from the SD Card.. so try doing that. Entering recovery is also mentioned in the Tutorial Link on the page. keep trying.
Edit/ you will also find the drivers etc for your model.. Try connecting your cell phone to your laptop.. it should show up some form of Desktop Software installation etc like all cell phones do.

1. Why dont you flash Gapps from the sd card recovery as you did the ROM try fixing permissions for it to work. Mess with those.
2. there is a Google Play app that install Gapps for you.. did you try that.. google it.
3. the same website.. has a device forum.. translate and website.. and Keep reading there.. or try posting.. im sure Chinese ppl might have had a solution for this. but needs time to research.
4. what about you manually place the Gapps files within the system folder after rooting your device ?? maybe that would work.. try it.
Hello Jordstar and Saqib, thank you for your comments. My friend has bought the device and is having the same issues as Jordstar unable to use Google services. Saqib, I believe if we are able to get twrp/custom recovery for Gionee we will be able to get Google working on it.
Also, Jordstar have you used whatsapp on the gionee phone. My friend is also having issues with whatsapp, unable to get sound notifications when someone sends a message.

1. I tried this and the install would hang. Fixing permissions didn't change this so I don't think it will work.
2. It's easy enough to use any third-party gapps installer to install gapps on the device. However, the gapps will force close and generate an error message several times per second until they are uninstalled... so they are blocked from the kernel layer, not just in the firmware.
3. I had a look through the translated device forum. Unfortunately came up with nothing yet. It's hard to do a proper search for the English terms specifically in the w909 thread.
4. How would I do this-- through a file browser?
@Jordstar im gonna get an amazing guy to help us out on this. im sure he would be able to. Let me speak to him.
and yes try using a file manager. ES FILE MANAGER would be a good choice.

Awesome. OK, I'll see if ES file manager installs on the w909. I have to unzip them and place them directly in the /sys/ folder, right?
Really excited to see if you can get that help. I'm willing to experiment now that I know I can brick/recover the device no problem.

Edit: OK, I tried this and I get stuck again with MTKdroidTools.exe not recognizing the w909. When I launch the adb terminal from MTKdroidTools and type "adb devices" no devices are listed when the w909 is connected. I realized this was due to losing root once I updated it to firmware 1.3 after I bricked it (referenced earlier in the thread). I re-rooted with Kingo and this bricked the device again. I will have to downgrade the firmware and hope that version is rootable... will repost updates with an edit later.

hi everyone, i bought this phone Yesterday, but when i was looking for how to update it, i couldnt find the "system update" setting.
When i go to setting, then about phone, there isnt anything about system update..... I dont think this is good.... i have the stock rom, and i havent modified nothing, please help, this makes me no sense.
Did you buy it from OnePlus.net? If not, there have been OnePlus phones sold on third party stores with a modified stock ROM. A few people have come here with the same question and it has been a modified ROM. If you're in the US and have OxygenOS you won't have any bloatware installed like CleanMaster.

Okay so first, go to Settings -> About Phone. Scroll to the bottom of the page and tap on "Build Number" until it says "You are now a developer!". This allows access to the developer settings. Go to Settings -> Development and turn on "OEM Unlock". This is just to be safe in case something goes wrong.
Next you can download the full official OxygenOS rom from the OnePlus website. Here's the page for the latest version and follow the instructions they've written: http://downloads.oneplus.net/2016-04-20/opx/OnePlus_X_OxygenOS_2.2.1-X/

Next you can download the full official OxygenOS rom from the OnePlus website. Here's the page for the latest version and follow the instructions they've written: http://downloads.oneplus.net/2016-04-20/opx/OnePlus_X_OxygenOS_2.2.1-X/

If they put out more OTA updates then you should be able to install them normally. I do recommend you go into the Developer Settings again and turn on OEM Unlock for safety
