Recently bought an android phone hoping it was on ICS 4.0.3 as it states in the About Phone. Just read through a forum @ forum.china-iphone.ru/viewtopic.php?t=24021 that it wasn't. Is there any hope this device can be rooted at least? I'm having a lot of apps which can install from Google Play but aren't working properly sometimes downright shutting down (ie. Temple Run). I even get the error 498 while trying to download some apps. Hoping you could help me root it.
Here's some more details about this phone.

Hey guys!
I have a empire electronics M805 , and i want to root it, but their aren't any tutorials / files, so i can root it.
It runs at android 4.1.1 (i think not the stock version, light edited, other kernel?) It is a tablet!
hi
if it is not on stock rom chances are your tablet is already rooted as most of custom roms come rooted but some of them dont come with a superuser app even though they are rooted in this case just donwload superuser app from play store and update the biaries (also check usb debuging to make root work ) , stock rom means the rom your tablet came with when you first bought it , if your tab is on stock rom chances are it is not rooted in deed even though some manufacturers sell their devices rooted , to root your tab i only see one last solution if there is no dedicated procedure for it , you will have to try general rooting sollutions like unlock root (it is normally safe but do at your own risk) : http://www.android.gs/root-any-android-based-device/
there is also kingo : http://www.kingoapp.com/
and one click root (works only for popular devices though) : http://www.oneclickroot.com/
there are others just google , if your device is a new comer to the market maybe a dedicated root method will come when it will gain more popularity , i hope i helped you .
Yeah you helped me !

I have an empire electronix M805.
Is it possible to install kitkat on this device?
How and where do I find the custom rom and the recovery rom?
The tablet is already rooted
Please help.
Dear all
I bought the new gionee elife s5.5
Unfortunately it has no play store installed and adding the apk and running it after installation always results in a forced close.
Does anybody know how to root the phone? Will Vroot also work (it is supposed to work on the elife e7 which has the same custom rom, amigo 2.0, I think).
Really struggling because many dialogs are in Chinese although I set the language to english...
Btw. one chinese guy told me the phone can be rooted using a chinese application named 大师 - however I have no clue where to even start with this...

I have the same phone and the same problem. Looking into this too my friend....
Google Play Service Error
I have the same problem.
I was able to install the Play Store, yet still have problems with the Google Play Service.
I followed the Youtube instructions: ...\watch?v=R89HtH0WfuA[/url]
but then downloaded the "com.android.vending-4.4.21.apk" available on the net instead of "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk".
I also have the Chinese version of the phone.
If someone has instructions of how to remove the Chinese version and install a pure English version, i would appreciate it.
No solution I'm afraid.. Just wanted to add my request to the list. I, too have an S5.5 and would like to get an English Language ROM on this handset. Any help greatly appreciated.

Yeah, english rom would be superb, but google play would already be a good start!

Yes, I agree, Google Play would be a start. But I'm guessing that we'll need a change of ROM to get any Google services running. I've managed to download and install some apps by sideloading .apk files (Nova Launcher, Dropbox, Dolphin) but even GMail app force closes just like Google Play.
I'm also guessing that the main culprit is the Amigo UI. It's seems so deeply embedded in the ROM that only a change of same will allow normal Android operation.
I've tried a Factory Reset to see if it gives me a choice of language to load, but no luck. The only English language setting is in Input settings. Unfortunately it doesn't go very deep. For instance to confirm a change of setting or acknowledge and error the text you have to tap says 'I known'!
The S5.5 has been launched in India and I wonder what language that ROM is available in? Be nice if the Indian ROM was in English and we could get hold of one. Can anyone help with this?
I'd even put up with Amigo UI if it was in English (despite the lack of widgets... Which I miss greatly).
BTW, I've found that you can install Amazon App Store, SlideMe, GetJar , etc. App stores on the S5.5. Not as good as Google Play I know, but they do work.
I wonder if some embedded 'Great Wall' filter software on this Chinese handset is blocking certain Google apps from running. It's curious that several Google apps force close, but other, similar Android apps don't.
Also, I've seen the phone for sale on some Indian Mobile Phone Vendor websites where they say that they will install Google Play before dispatch. So it must be possible.
Try Kingroot
mine is an chinese and rooted with that i think. got it pre-rooted
Thanks XPAction. I did try Kingroot, couldn't get it to work. However, I did manage to get it rooted with something called Shuame. It's mostly in Chinese language, but I got it done. And I have managed to install most Google apps. So Google Play, Gmail, etc working OK. And I've installed Nova Launcher, so widgets are baaack! There's still some Gionee bloatware hanging around, but mostly I can ignore it.
Only problem now is that Gionee have pushed a 98mb system update at the handset, and I'm frightened to install it!
I still think the S5.5 would benefit from a stock Android custom ROM... That's what I'm looking out for.
I did the system update and playstore is not doing a forced quit any,ore. However, i always get a connection error. Anyone got it working without root?
Ive found some links to some Chinese forums with some drivers,firmware and tools
slow site

I cant post links yet
Well, the recent 100+ mb Amigo UI update wiped out root on the S5.5. However, Google stuff still seems to be working OK. Found an English (ish) version of Shuame.. Called Root Genius. So am gonna try to re-Root with that.
One thing, it installs something called Kinguser. Don't really know what this is. Seems to manage Root access like SU or Superuser. But flagged up as a 'risk' by some Android malware/virus software.
Quick update for fellow S5.5 owners: tried to root with Root Genius, wouldn't work this time. Tried Kingroot and... success! It re-rooted the handset fine. So far all OK.. Google apps functioning normally.

Elife S5.5 Google Play Store
Hi
Wanna install play store as well ... but got stuck already upon installing the Windows 7 (64Bit) drivers. There's still a remaining unknown device called "Gionee". Wehre to find the correct drivers for the S5.5? Next issue is - there is no application "kingroot". I googled a lot - no luck. Any hints where to find it? Same applies for the mentioned supersu. What is this? Where can i find it? Anyone successful by now in removing/replacing the amigo ui and the chinese stuff from the phone?

Hello, I'm new to this forum so i want to apologize in advance if this is not the correct section where i should post this.
Well, back on topic, i recently got a new Huawei Ascend Y330: Dual Core 1.3, 512MB Ram, Android 4.2, Emui 2.5 (i guess). The thing is that when i tried to download Clash of Clans from the App Store, it told me that the app is not compatible with this device. I'm puzzled because i was able to download Asphalt 8 and play without any issues and that game needs more requiriments than CoC. But anyways, i tried updating my device and everything i could do but nothing. One of my friends told me that i can solve this by rooting my device and he mentioned something about ROMs. But I don't know anything about rooting devices.
I want to resume in a short question: Am i able to play CoC if i root my device? If yes, please tell me how to root it, the thing is that I'm new to this process and i wanted some advice before i do anything stupid. I don't want to damage my phone. And i know there are a lot of tutorials on how to root it but they're for Samnsung, LG, and those famous companies, in the other hand, i got a Huawei and the model i have it's no so recognized like an LG G3 or a Samsung Galaxy s4.
This will be helpful not only for CoC but it might happen with more apps that i want to get in the future so i really want to know the answer. Thanks in advance!
Good day xda community, I wanted to ask this question in the forum since a month ago I acquired the huawei y6 SCL-U23, now I would like to be able to do root, since they gave me glasses vr, unfortunately can not modify the system to detect And enable the gyroscope (since without that the vr glasses do not work), if someone could help me in rooting my phone, I already tried with the kingroot app and the only thing that did was to restart my phone and never got root access, please .
Thanks .... I am new to the forum, but I understand quite all that is android lol please I need help.
