The easiest way of rooting Gionee P2 is by using Framaroot app...
Click on SuperSU,then click on exploit Boromir..After that it would display a message telling to reboot...Voila..now you are rooted with the SuperSU app installed...
Try the latest version of the app(having exploit for mediatek CPU)

Does this phone have mt6572 or mt6572W SOC? are these two different ? mmx canvas fun a74 has the same SOC.. but it seems to run games much better? same 512mb ram, 4.2.2.. so i was wondering if there is an SOC difference?

GiONEE P2 has mt6572W chip...BTW there are 3 models of MT6572(dual core)-MT6572(2G only),MT6572TD(TD-SCDMA for China) andMT6572W(WCDMA=3G compatible)..chip architecture and graphics (Mali 400 MP) are same in all three..
MMX canvas A74 and GiONEE P2 SOC'S are same!! Software addons make them different..

Got around 230~250 mb free...
For free ram I use RAM Booster app..
BTW I checked it also supports swapping RAM memory to sdcard. So you can try swapper apps..

hmm.. well i cant figure out whats wrong then.. i can understand mmx or someone rigging benchmark scores,..mm a74 scores higher with 41fps on nenamark 2... but if it was just the benchmark then ... i wouldn't have bothered... but they were playing asphalt 8 on the device with no lags!.. but the pioneer was showing lag with asphalt 7! confusing.. i wonder whats up..maybe the fps is locked on the p2?? any theories?
i wouldnt have bothered if it was just benchmarks.. but its actually showing a diff in games.. like asphalt...thats whats confusing..any ideas?

can't tell...am a newbie..but maybe due to implementation of software..MMX is near stock android but gionee has customized it..the interface and all..try disabling the memory eating apps(go launcher etc. and use low memory launcher(holo,smart launcher etc)..
and use ram swapper app and see what happens..I don't have large games to test the lag..

GiONEE P2 Stock Recovery
One can access the stock recovery in the phone by the following steps-
Switch off ur phone.
Press volume down+power off button simultaneously.
Then you will see the android robot with an exclamation mark with "No command" written below it.
Press the power button and you can see the recovery menu..
But you can only navigate by volume down button,volume up is for selecting the option.
You can make a backup,install zip etc.
Hope it helps!

gps
Bro, how is the gps? is it accurate and lock onto position quickly?

GPS is awesome.

The GPS in Gionee Pioneer P2 is accurate to 2 metres (The used the GPS Test app) and regarding the time taken for locking depends on your location like if it is an empty field then in 30-40 seconds and if you are inside the building then it really takes time because you are actually receiving low signal inside.

Do other Pioneer P2 owners also have a problem with the picture quality of the phone? I find the pics taken with stock camera a bit grainy. I have installed 3rd party cameras but the improvement is not so much. Even though it has a 5 MP camera but does not give as good pics as my 5MP Samsung Galaxy Ace (s5830) used to.
Please suggest some ways to improve the picture quality of pics.

Star X26i - 4 Inch Screen 1GHz CPU 5MP Camera Android 4.0

Hi, I have just bought the phone called Star X26i from Android-Sale: Star X26i
It is quite a good phone with beautiful screen and buttons.
UPDATE 1: How to root Star X26i by using TPSparkyroot: Thanks to admonish & Ferny_77
1. ( Optional ) Download Android SDK and install from here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
2. Download TPSparkyroot OR ROOT v5 Eng By Canerpense
3. Run adb.exe.
4. Run TPSparkyRoot.exe and follow instructions.
UPDATE 2: Original Firmware 19th June ( Not tested ) : Many thanks to AshleyJackson94 for the firmware. Instruction is brought to you by zBeYuz
0. Download Original Firmware 19th June
1. MTK 6575 Driver must be installed ( Turn off the phone, take out the battery and plug into the PC, it will ask for installing a new device ):
2. Download MTK 6575 Flash Tool
3. a) Go to Flash tool folder and run SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject.exe
b) Choose Factory Database --> Setup data source file: "MTK_DATABASE.mdb"
c) Choose File --> Open download agent file: "MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin"
d) Choose Scatter File: "MT6575_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" in Firmware folder.

f) After that turn off your phone and take out the battery and then hit the "Start all" button to start the process.
g) Quickly plug in your phone into the computer and the tool should begin to flash the firmware in less than 60 seconds if the driver is installed correctly.
h) You will see the green bar which indicates " Write Ok " means you are safe to remove the phone and the process has been completed.
P/s: Good Luck and Fighting !!!
Tips & Tricks:
1. For those who have Wifi issue, can try out this code in build.prop to see whether it makes any differences:
a) Change:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150
b) Add below this code:
net.tcp.buffersize.wifi=4096,87380,256960,4096,163 84,256960
2-a. To reduce CPU speed in order to save the battery:
1. Install Setcpu in Google Play
2. Set Cpu to on demand instead of performance.
3. Save and monitor the battery life again.
2-b. A few profiles in setcpu to help manage the power ( Thanks to lansi23 )
There are 4 speeds for the phone:
166 250 500 1000
-When screen off
166-250
-In call
166-250
-Screen on
166-1000
3. Thanks angelobiz: For remove old, hidden driver you can see this: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/504/how-to-uninstall-hidden-devices-drivers-and-services/
4. Thanks caviar44: This is a tool to remove old drivers: USBDeview v2.11. Just right click on driver instance and then choose "uninstall selected devices".
5. Moborobo - The Android Smartphone PC Manager ( You can use it to install apps, make a backup, blah blah ) : Moborobo
P/s: If anyone comes across a custom recovery for the phone, please also post it here.
Fighting !!! :good:

By the way, who is the manufacturer of this Star X26i phone. Any website ....any idea???
Sorry, I have no idea who was the manufacturer
Up for this topic
I was very sad when I saw the reviews (talkingmobi. com/?p=3015).
So, those are the differences between REAL and FAKE. With millions of eyes, the truth will always come out. I would like to show u the REAL details and tested 5 times about LT26 on FCT:
Star Xperia S LT26 LT26i XT26 MTK6575 Hot Spot
4 inch WVGA screen, 800*480 pixel
MTK6575 1GHz processor + GPU: PowerVR SGX531(Cheap version by MTK6573 CPU 640MHZ + GPU 460MHZ)

Also, he demonstrated screenshot of android-sale.
Sorry 4 my english.
I don't know why I can't load the link above. Can you tell me why you don't like this phone ? As I am having one and quite satisfied with it.

He wrote - x26i have MTK6573 processor (Freq: 640MHz), but at the price specified android-sale = 1GHz. I do not know who to believe.

Ok, I got it. Since there are two versions of this phone, one with MTK6575, which is 1Ghz processor, is my phone and the cheaper version runs MTK6573 which is 640MHz.
I think you should get MTK6575 version as it will make a big difference.
could be similar to the Star N8000, same specs, there is a root procedure for the N8000 in the Star N8000 thread but don't know if it will work for this phone...
Thanks drmosh, I will try it out
Hi, i've bought one that i should receive next week.
Any root procedure or rom to update it ?
TBH

I'v had this phone for a couple of days now and Im loving it. There is only one small downside, wifi SUCKS the battery out of this one. So I hope a future rom or modification can remedy this.
I managed to root it today using TPSparkyroot
Someone let me know if I should post the build.prop file for modification possibilites. Maybe there is something that can be edited to lower wifi battery drain
Hi and thanks
I hope that there will have enought user to build a kind if "community" here as this phone is new.
But i also think that the hardware is quite similar as lot of other china droid phone...
Does the two sims cards work well ?
Cheers

I have only tried one of the sim card slots, which works flawlessly. The 3G part is also working like it should.
I can also confirm that the GPS works with Google Maps

Hi admonish, I also used TPSparkyroot to root but not successful. Can you upload your root files through Mediafire for me so that I can post it on the first page for people who owned this phone and wanted to root. Thanks a lot.
Btw, I am also in love with this phone and about wifi issue, you can try this code out in build.prop to see whether it makes any differences:
1. Change:
wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=150

@icoolguy1995, I have this tab,
Model: A13-MID
Brand: softwinners
CPU: sun5i
CPU Model: ARMv7 Processor (VFPv3, NEON)
CPU Freq: 60 - 1008 MHz
Screen Res: 800 x 432
GPU Vendor: ARM
GPU: Mail-400 MP
GPU ver.: OpenGL ES 2.0
Memory Size: 1024 MB
Android Ver: 4.0.4
Build: nuclear_evb-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20120917 test-keys
I flash with alphadroid and it booting fine. Only one big problem is that touchscreen is not working at all.
I used wired usb mouse (cheap knock off wireless mouse also working great!) and installed novo tool but cannot reboot into recovery because root permission problem. I tried with hardware button to boot into recovery but none work with power+vol.up button nor power+vol.down button. What else can I do? I really LOVE the rom!!!
EDIT: I can get into CWM by going to SETTINGS --> BACKUP & RESET --> Recovery Mode.
I run FIX PERMISSIONS but when rebooted the root permission denied is still there when I run TBP.
Can you fix the touchscreen and the root access please. I like this rom...
EDIT2 : Ran lsmod and find out that my ts is gsl1680.
Dear Sir,
Can you add support for my A13 based tablet. Please let me know. I will upload the dump of my tablet.

for touchscreen there is a one solution try to change the kernal !
and for the root access problem flash the rom - shut down the tab - restart it- if root access problem is there go to cwm after that go to advance option - fix permission reboot recovery- reboot system or i don't know the exactly word there here when u reboot system it will ask u about root access read it and then go to yes button
or
try once again unlockroot

ROOT the Karbonn A15

OK got the Karbonn A15 yesterday dubbed as a Ninja Killer by some was able to root it today
here are the steps
the driver files are included on the phone internal card called pcdrivers.zip. you can connect the usb mount the internal usb storage and copy the file to your pc. if you face any problems you can download the file from here
1. Enable USB Debugging - Under SETTINGS - DEVELOPER OPTIONS
2. Install the drivers for the phone - copy drivers from your phone internal card or download from here
3. download "Android Root Unlock" from sourceforge.net and extract it to a folder on your harddisk
4. navigate to the above folder and run the batch file ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
the batch file will reboot your phone a couple of times and will wait with a message "Press Any Key to continue"
IMP NOTE : if you pc is saying "PRESS ANY KEY" note if your phone is on or rebooting....
if it is Rebooting, wait for it to start before pressing a key
5. After a couple of boots the phone will be rooted
6. verify that the Root is complete by observing a "Superuser" shortcut in the application list
good luck

4. navigate to the above folder and run the batch file ICS_Root_Unlocker.bat
the batch file will reboot your phone a couple of times and will wait with a message "Press Any Key to continue"
IMP NOTE : if you pc is saying "PRESS ANY KEY" note if your phone is on or rebooting....
if it is Rebooting, wait for it to start before pressing a key
5. After a couple of boots the phone will be rooted
6. verify that the Root is complete by observing a "Superuser" shortcut in the application list
good luck

check out http://mobiles.pricedekho.com/mobiles/karbonn/a15-price-pmk5s.html#Specifications
which may not list the RAM etc
RAM=512
ROM=512 ?
INTERNAL=2.5 G ? (>2G will verify on my device later )
the above listing says FM =No however there is a preinstalled FM app so FM must be present - never use it so not checked - will check later
the G- Sensor is off by a lot on my piece - orientation works (can it be calibrated ?)
Display 4" @ 480x800
overall a very nice piece at Rs 5900

- as i said above i am very new to all this will have to study the whole thing a little - no expections for a custom rom from my side for quite some time
but the handset is very new in the market and rooting is the first step - i am sure people more knowledgable will provide some insight
overall Karbonn A15 seems a bargain ICS handset at this price.- no complaints so far....

i have been using it for only 2 days. on the first day it seemed that battery drained really fast but the next day it was better i would be able to give a better feedback in a few days.
all in all it seems the battery will last at least one day with heavy usage and around 2 days for someone like me (very low usage)
Hey.. can you please tell me about the display quality? Also, does it support 720x576 or 720x480 playback? I know it does not play 720p files but if it can play 576p files then I'll buy it..
Thanks!

1. Not necessary if you don't intended to tweak system files, gain system access permission,
2. All Android devices are rootable, but usually by default don't have root access
3. Yes warranty voided while rooting but you can unroot again
Sent from my ST21i
nevermind.. I bought it anyway.. found a deal which was too good to resist will root it as soon as I get my hands on it! Is it possible for you to post an unrooting guide as well? (just in case the phone needs to be taken to a service centre)
Thanks for the update and waiting for your better feedback in few days on battery backup and for how much you bought it?
the handset is available for 4700rs on homeshop18 website. please tell me if there is any problem with the device as i would like to order it now
Deal is too tempting

i was thinking to go between either of 2 but decided to save some money and settle for A15 as i dont play much games on mobile[totally opposite in case of PC] so dont need dual core device
just wanted to know smoothness and basic phone usage like volume of earphone or during the calls , messaging etc...

smoothness of the phone is excellent, did not find any lag while operating the phone, or while testing using Temple Run. the movement is very smooth. volume is good no problem there.
the only thing that is worth mentioning is that the Gravity sensor is off in my phone - meaning if i keep the phone on a flat surface it detects that the phone is leaning to the left and a little top. is this a calibratable thing in the settings or such ?

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE]Complete Guide to ROOTING, CWM & ROM(s) for LAVA ETAB XTRON+(RK3066)

[TUTORIAL][GUIDE]Complete Guide to ROOTING, CWM & ROM(s) for LAVA ETAB XTRON+(RK3066)
Here is a short review first
| HARDWARE |:-: Talking about the Lava Xtron+’s hardware, the tablet boasts a dual core Cortex A9 CPU with each core clocked at 1.5Ghz and a Mali 400 Quad Core GPU.
Well, for the proof of graphics power, see the benchmarks by fonearena.com ,63.9 fps in nenamark, and the most important thing according to me, RK3066 IS THE BEST LAST GEN GAMING CHIPSET BETTER THAN TEGRA 3...I am a true geek and after searching for 20+ hours came to a conclusion that this is the best piece of android till 12-13k,(except Lumia 520 but it is windows)..
| BATTERY | :-:Coming on to battery, When I opened the battery stats page I find that Cell standby had consumed nearly 60% of the battery.WHAT!? Cell standby is the battery used by radio cells for mobile networks. This tablet DOES NOT have cell radio! The engineers working on this tablet didn't even bother to setup the OS properly and instead chose to simply download Android 4.2, flashed it in the tablet and have put it up on sale.
The Flipkart page reports the battery capacity to be 3,700mAh, which is probably wrong since the official specifications page on Lava’s website reports it to be only 3,000mAh. I can't be sure..:silly:
AIRPLANE MODE IS NOT COMPLETELY WORKING DUE TO DEFECTIVE DRIVERS (CELL RADIO DRIVERS ARE PRESENT IN THIS TAB SO IT SEARCHES FOR DRIVERS CONTINUOUSLY AND FUC*S BATTERY UP!:crying There is a fix in the post
| SCREEN |:-:The front of the Lava Xtron+ holds a 7-inch sharp IPS LCD display having a resolution of 1024 x 600. It’s a bright screen and with a pixel density of 170 PPI, it is pretty sharp too. The best part about the display is that, despite being an LCD screen, it’s not a battery consuming monster. I always found its battery usage to be lower than processes. The screen is prone to scratches though and is highly reflective.
We can enable the biggest advantage of PC gaming in android now, i.e 4xMSAA in deveoper settings, makes gaming experience even better than tegra 3

Before starting i would say that i am not responsible if any guides here bricks your device ( it should not happen at all if u follow all steps properly as the chances of permanent brick of rk3066 is very slim but boot loop is a possibility) I made this thread to collect everything I've done in one place. This should make everything very straightforward and basically most probably n00b-proof.
| ROOTING | :-:
Pre Requisites-Working drivers (if not then no problem), OEM USB Cable, LAVA ETAB XTRON+, 2 windows apps and PATIENCE
{Screen shots of important steps is in the attachements}
(i) For Drivers download and install moborobo
HTML:
http://download.moborobo.com/download/Client/Moborobo(Moborobo_En_official).exe
(ii) In tablet go to in Settings >developers options and turn it on and enable USB Debugging & before connecting it to your PC go into the tab's
settings again and click on storage.In it you will find 3 dots in top right hand corner.> USB computer connection >Enable Mass storage
Note: DO "NOT" TURN USB STORAGE "ON".(When Connected to PC)
Note: Remove your external SD card before rooting.
(iii) Connect it to your PC and click on refresh and install/find drivers and it will download and install them..(there might be a security warning
about force install) Now, it may not recognize the model no, IMEI and other things and say that the device is JB7+ but the only thing you
should look for to make sure it is the right device is the total size and usage of internal Memory and NAND Flash..
(iii) Now drivers are securely installed and the tab is connected in the right way (there is no OEM (LAVA) drivers anywhere)
Download the zdm (Chinese software) in the attachments (For Every Step first see the screenshot)
Note:IT MAY INSTALL SOME USELESS SOFTWARE ON UR PC AND TAB , BUT IT CAN BE UNINSTALLED.
(iii)) When it detects the there will be something written like this in the bottom right corner :??ROOT : ONE or something like that (not in screen
shots as the tab is already rooted ) but it must be in green colour.This is the confirmation that the device can be rooted.
(iv) Now click on the Root Button in left hand side
(v) Click twice on green (thingy) first where it says ROOT then again for the confirmation popup (says something else but in green box)
(vi) Rooting Process has begun and the tab will restart (my PC is quite fast so it was almost instantly restarted and the Super SU was flashed it may or may not take 2-3 mins)
Note:IT WILL INSTALL SUPERUSER , WHICH IS OUTDATED BUT BEFORE DOWNLOADING OTHER SUPERUSER APP , USE THE ONE PRE-INSTALLED TO UPDATE SU BINARY.
DEVICE IS ROOTED WOOT! WOOT! you can also check by using Titanium Backup or root checker.
Mod Edit: Rooting method also described by Mohd.Anas here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48776299
How to fix battery:-:
Get root explorer open system/app and rename phone .apk and telephonesomething.apk to phone.bak and telephonysomething.bak, you are good to go..
Also, you should change the WiFi scanning interval to 500 I.e 5 min as you really just require one scan when connecting to a known network..change the wifi supplicant scan interval to 500 build.prop
| CLOCKWORKMOD CUSTOM RECOVERY (GENERIC RK3066) 6.0.3.1|:-:
There are 2 methods one is tested by me(both are the same recovery created by the famous user "fun" at androtab.info), it works on our tab because when I opened the kernel.img with a hex editor (like Neo Hex Editor) the first line started with "KRNL" so I have a dedicated kernel in the kernel partition and I can just use the generic CWM. You can also follow this procedure just to be sure..make a online nandroid backup find kernel.img and open it up in pc in hex editor..
(A)METHOD TESTED BY ME
(i) Firstly you have to get the arctools apk,either by registering at their forum..
HTML:
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/arctools-application/clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-easy-install-on-rk3066-and-rk3188-devices/
(ii) Click on download and select RK3066 CWM fun androtabinfo 6.0.3.1, there is only one option like that so it may or may not be in order.
(iii) Afer downloading click on install apps give i superuser permission and Voila! CWM.
(iii) You should also see the log right in the middle of the apps to verify that the flash and push thingy worked correctly with no errors
(iii) Select Reboot to recovery or Turn the tab off and press power button+vol up and the recovery should open
YEAH! YOU NOW HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR TAB
(B)METHOD NOT TESTED BY ME
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
(i) DOWNLOAD RK30GENERIC_CWM.zip from
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/
(ii) Here are the different ways to flash this zip file
HTML:
http://androtab.info/clockworkmod/rockchip/install/
|CUSTOM ROM(s)|:-:
There is only one ROM which is worth flashing and even that might be slightly buggy..
Well, I don't recommend to flash a custom ROM here as they may have bugs like Wifi still if you want the following features
Auto Install Feature: This allows you to install apk's automatically on first boot, if you have the apk files located in a folder named autoinstall on your external SD card.
HTML:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?8910-Auto-APK-Install-Feature
Rooted with SuperSU
Debloated of all Lava bloatware
Google Play Store tweaks added to improve availability of apps
Init.d support
Busybox support
English language default (all other languages are still supported)
Boot screens by Tattman65
Flash Tool by Finless
Reboot app by Petrus
Here is Lava Xtron+ RileyROM 1.1
HTML:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?10688-Lava-Xtron-RileyROM-1-1
Complete flashing procedure in extreme detail is in the ROM zip file (it is a PDF file named first time user guide , very helpful)..Personally I have not flashed the ROM as I don't think it is worth the hassle and possibility of no Wifi...
PLEASE CLICK ON THANKS IF I HELPED YOU, IT REALLY MOTIVATES ME!:highfive:
Thank you.. I was waiting for a method to crack this tab.. Will comeback with result.
Ext4 support
Can somebody tell me if ext4 is supported or not, when i try link2 sd it says not supported but I am pretty sure that the system partition itself is Ext 4, (I'm the one who made the guide)
Try ext3. It will be supported.
Prince.Paul.K said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I have tried it there are some problem in link2sd, but according to an nandroid the system and data are ext4 , I have set up everything in ext2 and would hate to do it all over again, is there a way to verify support of ext 3 or 4 acc to wiki, kernel above 2.6 support ext4 and the kernel here is 3.0... One more ting, when I tilt the tab, I think that something heavy is moving around inside slightly, probably battery should I ask for a replacement? I have 4-5 days remaining I bought from flipkart, I do have a complete SD and nandroid backup..
EDIT: in d/tracing events ext4 there is a file called enable and the value inside is zero should I change it to 1
I think I found out the culprit, the first partiton that I tried was ext2 so link2d created a script for that..now, when I try to use ext3 or 4 ..it still tries to use that same script..so I willl delete the script then try again...
Successfully Rooted..! Sorry for the delay..!
Bro how to stop the battery draining in stand by due to deffective drivers as u say . I cant find the solution in this thread

Well you are familiar with cwm or do you even have it installed, if you do then just go to install zip from sd card and select the zip file...secondly if you have a cwm nandroid backup (recommended) just go to backup and restore select resotre or restore from externel sd and then select the date of the required backup file then click restore..If you do have a cwm nandroid backup then it MUST work...if you don't even have the recovery then, ist step is to install it through THE guide then, try to do the ist (not recommended) option...
I have cwm installed on my tablet but i dont have stock rom of lava xtron plus

Hlo Dear,
The phone is looks good and the screen quality is also impressive ( resolution 1280X720 ), the phone is very slim and light weight and but the battery backup is quite low during 3G uses , 8 mp rear camera with dual flash is also impressive and front camera (5 mp) with flash is great for selfies , supports HD recording.
You can play HD videos without using any third party app.
Overall the phone is best in this price range compared to others.
Thanks

Also please don't forget to mention poor audio quality in headphones .......(till now there is no way to increase headset volume coz of unknown audio configuration and drivers )
This is major point for many uses like me ...

Runtime Query
So I got this phone and was browsing for some root options already, in a recent post online I read that the phone has an option to switch to 'ART Runtime' instead of Dalvik. The ART Runtime is fast indeed.
My question is whether, if I use ART Runtime, will it be of any hindrance to the rooting?

You can always use art with out any hesitation
But in our stock ROM lava has not even provided a single customisation ....so ultimately for time being we have to depend on x-posed framework and modules which is incomparable with art
And also dome 3rd party applications are not fully art compatible so if we need customisation we need to stay in dalvik
If we don't need customisation we can safely stay in Art ...
I hope I cleared your doubt ?

Hi mohit
In rooting process generally 2 files are copied to system ie su binary to system/xbin
And a root controller application
If you unroot the all will 1st delete su binary and and apk get uninstalled itself
Now install root explorer and check your
system/xbin for file named su if its not present then you are complete unrooted your device
I hope I cleared your doubt
