Please fellows, I am actually an android app developer. Most of my development work is done on rooted android phone.
However, I just got this new phone gionee p8w.
I have tried several means to root it like king root iroot pc and mobile version yet no success.
Please any can help me with actually working solutions to this. I will be really greatful and get back to my development work.
Android version is 6.0 marshmallow.
Thank you all.
One click root apps like Kingroot can't root your device. You need to install a custom recovery like TWRP and then use it to flash Super Su which will give you root access on your Gionee p8w.

Please bro ihechi I have searched over the net and not find twrp for my device. My device is relatively new. And doesn't have much about it on net.
Is it possible for me to flash twrp for other gionee devices on my gionee p8?.
My phone is currently almost useless to me now and keeping me idle.

Don't try that at all. Since your device is new, you need to port a working TWRP Recovery to your device. If you have the stock recovery, upload it to any file sharing site and post the link here.
I will try to port a working custom recovery for your device.
Also drop your device specs..

To get the recovery, follow the tutorial here https://www.kriztekblog.com/2017/05/backup-mtk-firmware-miracle-box.html
Make sure you use *save as scatter* during backup.

I see that the process will be a very tough and tedious one.
Actually I hoped there could be an automated process to it.
Following the whole procedure could get me start venturing to rom and kernel tinkering which I try to avoid Cus am already occupied with app development.
Based on your first reply do you mean that my device can never be rooted by "one click root" apps?
Is there possibility of Kingroot being able to root my device in nearest future.?
I sincerely appreciate your efforts.

It isn't as hard as you think. Just installing drivers, downloading the software and connecting your phone as the instructions state. Well, One Click Root apps don't work on the recent Android versions /MTK chips.

Thanks so much. I don't really know why Google always prefer to make things so over-complicated.
They know people buy Android phones just so they can root it and do stuffs yet they overcomplicate the whole issue.
I hope to venture to kernel tinkering soon. Even may be write my own OS.
Thanks you so much.
If you get information when "one click root start working, please alert me on this thread.
Thank you.

Hi,
I just purchased the i9100 from someone today and I'm pretty sure that it's rooted. I checked the kernal and it is (2.6.35.7-RAGEmod-U1-v1.1b).
Can anyone please point me in the right direction? Also which files would I need? Do I need to use a USB jig?
I have no idea what I'm doing, there is someone on kijiji (local selling/buying site) that says they will flash it back for me for $100, should I just do that?
Thanks everyone!
not sure what you would do, but what i am CERTAIN about is do not pay 100 bucks... just go to the dev section and read up there.. factory reset (turn phone off, hold volume up, power and home keys simultaneously)
Sorry I wasn't being more specific, but what I wanted to do is unroot the phone. When my phone powers on I get a GR check rom boot logo?
My phone seems to be missing a lot of default apps compared to my brothers SGS2.
well theres this program called s-root which can on click unroot your phone. not sure if you need a specific kernel though. ask around in this forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

Just unrooting the phone should work with SuperOneClick (download to your PC, enable USB debugging on the phone, connect it to the PC and click on the big "unroot" button. If you are running some custom ROM you want to here rid of you will have to flash complete new clean software from Samsung.
But to the missing features: you said you have an older Galaxy S1, oder course there are other (better) apps and a totally new software on the successor, the SGS2.

Yes that's a custom rom, checkrom v5, go to the stock rom thread, pick an upto date rom, ki8 is the newest.
Flash using odin, guide is also in the thread.
That's the only way to remove a custom rom and kernel and restore the removed apps.

You are on a custom rom or a modified stock rom for shure. If you want to get back to stock then you have a thread in the development section that hosts all the stock roms or are links to them at least. Flashing a stock rom will also unroot you phone.
Now as for the flashing part you need to read the stickies search for a youtube video before you do it. You need to understand that flashing has its risks. Although I flashed my phones at least 50 times and never bricked any of them so far you still need to be warned. Its not complicated at all but you need to understand the basic steps. Good luck.

Okey so in the new update (1.1) I've made it so i can specify what the download link is for both cwm and twrp.
All you guys need to do is let me know when there is a newer version!

So do I have to do something to fix the bootloop issue? Also why is that so? You need to have a bricked phone before you could make a patched bootloader.

wipe data factory reset(data, dalvik and cache)
that fixes the bootloop!
and modifying the bootloader is quite risky, if you do something wrong it could fail to write, fastboot and adb can fail to operate, cauld cause major issues that are un repairable without riffbox etc.. and even sometimes that doesnt work...
looks good, but bugs as above..
so pls solve them soon

Do we need 20 toolkits doing the same stuff? People need to learn what they are doing. With the rise of kits there is a rise in bricked phones for stupid reasons. People flashing cm kernels on non cm roms because they have no idea.

That's funny. So you revived a 4 month old Dead Thread for what?? So we could hear your useless stupid rants about a contribution that someone wanted to make, an area which you have failed to achieve. If people don't read and know what they are doing then that is their fault, not someone who wanted to learn and or grow his skills by creating a toolkit. Put your skills to something useful and release something of your own, don't go being critical trying to revive old threads for no reason; and complaining about toolkits all over various Nexus 5 threads. Grow Up!
Today I receive an update for my Mega 5.8.

Yes mate, it Seems a bit more responsive for sure and battery seems to last a bit longer too.. Just the third day but battery lasting more I am sure as I lost only about 4% at night (with 3g on), when previously I use to lose around 10%.
Let's hope we get 4.3 or 4.4 soon.

Don't think update is available to rooted devices although the message you are getting shows that you might be able to download the update just keep trying and within 48 hours you will get this update for sure.

Battery backup seems to have improve a lot with this update:
This is when I am using my phone with 3g always on (but for 6 hours at night) and 6 emails always on sync.
Don't play games though so that might be the reason for such good battery life.

@hardik190 since you are already doing flashing why not just download the latest firmware from samsung-updates.com then flash thru odin? after that you can root.Also if your recovery is custom and not stock your status will always be custom even with triangle away,

their support team helped me the first time I rooted, my problems came from internet connectivity, kept loosing it during their root process
my mega isn't in front of me to tell you which version but it's the one from metro
also you have to keep your eye on the phone and the computer, there might be permission notices on the phone and some disconnect reconnect notices on the computer,

There's easy way to root and install custom recovery (TWRP) available in the forum hence I won't bother with the kingoapp.

Twrp is good but kingo is one click root thru windows. No need to go into download mode. No binary count increase or system status change to custom. However I think samsung had patched the vulnerability on the latest firmware thus kingo no longer works. Kingo worked on older fw.

1.0 Introduction
This is a series of guides that will cover the basics of ROMs, kernels, recoveries, installation and so on. Questions asked in here will be answered as fast as possible. This is not a thread for unbricking your device, but rather to avoid getting into a situation where you end up with a bricked device. I do realise that the LG G2 is a year old, but since its price has dropped, it offers A LOT of value for money and while some people leave for newer devices, other people grab the G2.
1.1 Rooting
Let's cover the basics steps of rooting, installing a custom recovery and making your first backup.
If you do not know what root is, a brief explanation would be getting access to the root of your device. What that means is that you get access to parts of your device that are otherwise hidden - because the average Joe would not know what to do with root access and could possibly end up with a device that is unusable. As implied, there is a risk involved in rooting your device, although with the LG G2 the action is most often reversable.
Disclaimer: I cannot be held responsible for any damage you do to your device. Following this guide should be safe, but there is a risk involved
So how do you root your LG G2?
The absolute easiest way is to download towelroot. If your software version is 20G or newer, (or if towelroot doesn't work for you) try stump root. Link further below.
towelroot can be downloaded from towelroot.com
Click the lambda, download the apk file and install it.
If you get a pop up message claiming that the apk is dangerous, agree to it and continue installing. As previously mentioned, rooting IS not risk free, and this application abuses an exploit in the kernel.
After installing and opening, press "make it ra1n". That will root your device.
When finished, reboot. Then go to Play Store and download SuperSU. SuperSU is an application that will allow apps to gain superuser access and it is vital for any root user.
Now you have root and the ability to give SuperUser access to apps.
EDIT: For Software versions 20G and up, towelroot doesn't work anymore, use stump root instead.
Link is here: Stump Root for LG Devices
1.2 Installing a Custom Recovery
Why is a custom recovery necessary? It is, because it’s the easiest way (and often the only way) to get your device back and working in case you get stuck in a bootloop. It’s also vital for flashing custom ROMS and custom kernels.
How do I get one? Well, there’s an app for that!
Check out this thread to get AutoRec, an application that’ll automatically install a custom recovery to your G2! Credits go to @Cloudyfa and @bender_007 CLICK HERE
IMPORTANT!
MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT VERSION FOR YOUR DEVICE!!!!!!
After downloading, install the application, allow it superuser access and install a custom recovery.
When finished, reboot to recovery. You’ll need to take a backup of your working ROM.
2.0 Making a backup of your working ROM and vital partitions
Now you should be in recovery:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tap “Backup”, and backup the following partitions:
Boot
System
Data
EFS
The backup will take roughly 3 minutes to finish, be patient. When it’s done, reboot system.
Make a few copies of the backup. ALWAYS have a backup on your device , keep one on your computer and one on a microSD somewhere.
Cheers for this...looking at possibly buying it soon. So I guess this will work even regardless if its a D800 or D802?

Yes it should, but it depends on which software version your D800 comes with. If towelroot doesn't work, IOroot or Stumproot should work Try this out when you get it - if it doesn't work, quote this message (so that I get a mail) and let me know.
Will do cheers. Yeah looking at buying a D802 from Hong Kong hy the end of this month, so no idea what kind of software its going to come with [emoji53]. Plus I want to install the G3 ROM onto it pretty much straightaway. Never rooted before but seems fairly straight forward.
should point out that autorec is for kitkat only afaik
also towelroot doesn't work on some of the later kitkat roms, but you can use 'stump' root instead

Thanks for your input. I think I covered the towelroot part in my response to geordie. I'll edit the op tomorrow.

If you're getting a D802 you shouldn't worry one bit. Even the latest 20F software can be rooted by towelroot!
OP Updated with the new 20G update in mind.

Great, looking forwards to that!
Towelroot does not show ROOTED in either dialer status RCT check or Download mode!
Yup it worked for me.
Ofcourse, I didn't take the root too far, only used it for the following:
Install SuperSU
Install Greenify/WLD/G2 Xposed
Later on, wanted to use warranty, and was a lil worried, but it seems undetectable, especially since I've deleted SuperSU and Xposed..
I did not:
Install custom recovery
Install custom ROM
So, anyone else considering using towelroot, but hesitating because of the potential warranty implications, this should help make up ur mind..
This thread is what i am looking for so THANKS alot OP. Really helped us noobs. Can You do TuTs(noob friendly) on 'How to install custom roms using Autorec' or kk based ROms or kernels to LP based roms and kernels etc kinda like that flashing basebands and all for LG g2 D802 ? Cheers m8

That is incorrect, AutoRec is also for Lollipop, I used it to install TWRP on my LS980

First you have to root your phone. If you don't know what root is, google is your friend.
You'll need to download Kingroot After root you can switch from KR to SU DOWNLOAD to switch to SuperSU you'll first need to downgrade to Kingroot.4.1 DOWNLOAD . Just extract the zip and there is a text file inside with instructions on how to use it. I found that you should install SuperSU before running the script in a Terminal Emulator
We have a new recovery just for our phone ported by kirito9recovery-twrp-3.x-5054N-new.img so please go thank him.
DOWNLOAD
The recovery was updated to version TWRP 3.0.3
DOWNLOAD
After you have root you can flash the recovery-twrp-3.x-5054N-new.img using either Flashify or my favorite Rashr

To get the Xposed Framework working on Lollipop you'll need the app made for Lollipop XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apkDOWNLOAD you'll also need to flash the xposed-v87-sdk22-arm.zip DOWNLOAD There is also a xposed-uninstaller-20160829-x86.zip in case you want to uninstall it DOWNLOAD

Great work. Thank you for being here to help.
We need to get at least a flashable stock ROM. I've been working a lot of hours on a swing **** and spending any free till Xmas shopping.
If anyone who just rooted thier phone and installed TWRP and made a backup before editing anything can you please post that backup.

hi everyone i have a question.
i really would like to make a rom for this phone.
ive been trying to use various programs
like "ASSAYYED"
which i found on this site. ive built a stock.zip and it installs with twrp. with no errors but then it will give me the system.ui
quit error.
so my question is
1. if this phone is bootloader locked would i not be able to install a update.zip in the first place? ive seen bootloader locked phones before and when u try to install update.zip normaly it will display a screen after and say unoffical firmware or something right?. So seeing as you can install a .zip doesnt that mean that you can run a custom rom on this phone?
2. if a developer can look at my zip and see maybe if update script is wrong. i would appreciate it.
with the stock .exe file this phone is perrty much unbrickable.
like to thanks to everyone that has helped with this phone. with the custom recovery and the stock images i found on this site. all of you are awesome!
and ASSAYYED developer. really detailed program. :good: :laugh: :highfive:
Has anyone had luck unlocking the bootloader or installing a custom rom?
..
Can someone send me the KingRoot 4
1 cuz the link is down
Hey I've been reading up on the lg k10 (same hardware) and they were able to unlock the bootloader with a patched aboot file. Would it be possible for someone to make one for this phone to unlock the bootloader the same way?
if someone could find the source code for this device I might could make a custom rom or at least try to

i dont think we`re gonna get the source code seeing as the device isnt even listed in alcatels help forums , i think we might be able to port a rom using the stock kernel and maybe even get a nougat rom going , im looking at the lg k10 forums (same hardware so we might be able to port one of there roms) and ive seen that they have been pretty succesful with making a patched aboot file to unlock the bootloader but idk if they have the source code , anyways back to my thing i think that we could port the stock marshmallow rom from the lg k10 with some tweaks of course or we could deodex the stock rom and customize it as it is . also i was hoping someone could make a flashable stock zip for this phone as i have no pc and am trying to do this stuff with my phone , i believe i can maybe port a cm12.1 rom using my phone but i think it`d be allot faster if someone with better expertise and a pc could help me do this
ayuda por favor tengo un one touch 5450n hice todo y no pasa del twrp lo reinicio y se queda asi
