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

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?

Hi,
I did not want to root my G750-U10 B119, but I would like to use one of these "activity bracelets" which track your daily activity and almost all of them (especially nicer ones ) require Android 4.4 to connect to your smartphone.
That is why I am looking for (as simple as possible) way to root my G750-U10 since I found this ROM which would fit my needs but can not update to it without rooting the smartphone.
Can anyone please suggest to me/point me to a simple explanation on how to do this?
Thanks in advance for all your help and for not mocking me because of my HOPE that there is a simple way to do this.

Found a way to root Huawei G 750-U10
Install adb drivers for the device. You can get them with Hisuite which you can download from Huawei official website, After your done with that, download RootGenius 1.8.7.exe , Due to restrictions i cannot post the direct download link so you may google it. Connect your device via a usb cable and enable developer mode, Just run root genius software and click next, Your Huawei G 750-u10 is rooted

Hi
@ lovemilyf, could you please provide a link for that root master you've used. I can't find it on the play store and there is this one , Root Master (RaidMod) that actually does not work on the U10 ( URL at androidpot dot net - root-master-apk-download-english-chinese ).
@ Pavana. Root Genius works perfectly, fast and very easy; run the software (no installation needed,) connect the device to a PC and click on "Quick Root". You have the option to "Un-root" it also when you decide so. Both features successful tested on G750-U10. You could download it for free from the official site at shuame dot com. Good luck.

Hi there,
I've just bought a new Huawei Mate 20 Pro in China and found that it was rooted !
How do I un-root it ? Why is it rooted as a new phone should ?
Device name = Huawei Mate 20 Pro (UD)
Model number = LYA-LA10.
Thanks in advance.
Sherab
How can you know is Root?
Fyi
UD means under-display fingerprint scanner
I have installed the app from Standard Chartered Bank (SC Mobile). It refuses to run when the app detected a rooted device.
Secondly, the antivirus app ESET NOD 32 that I bought also say that my phone was rooted.
Third, the Root Checker Basic states that the root was not properly installed.
Finally, when I run SuperSU, it says Root Not Detected.
How can you help ? Thank you.
