hello,
I've tried a few times to root my device but it doesn't.
i want to try this rom: [ROM][ICS][P920] First ICS 4.0.4 Full 3D ROM Ported From SU760
I also read the guide: [GUIDE] [TOOL] Rooting the "First ICS 4.0.4 Full 3D ROM Ported From SU760" but nothing work.....
I cant instal a zip from SD with rom manager because my device says your device is not rooted....
For rooting my device i used this tool: adb_restore_rooting-v1.2.zip but freezes.
It told me this:
pussing bussybox:
device not found..
i turned usb debuging on, bus nothing worked for me.
who want to help me?
ps: i am from the netherlands, sorry for the bad grammar
Thanks, Dylan
Hi
From my experience the same thing happened to me.my mistake was I did not extract the restore file I jus opened it in the zip folder.extract it to the same folder where you have your zip saved then it will pick up busy box.open rooting.bat from the extracted folder

when yo connect the cell do you hear a guiar sound and two icons apears one usb and a little bug??
because i have the same problem i just push the button to make a call,
now enter the number: 3845#*920# This will redirect you to the full hidden menu. Once there, you can go to the PORT SETTINGS menu and set it to AP USB thanks to member vicionastral
And if you want to upgrade with the LG software, you must set this to AP USB and make it stay. Then when you are upgrading, you must stay vigilant and press (and keep pressed) the volume up button in the moment it reboot the phone (or before it reboots, just to be sure)
This way, a white screen with red text "factory upload" will show and upgrades will have no problems.
(this mode normally only happens when you press the volume up button with the phone off, and then connect it to the usb port and there is an LG software commanding the phone via usb) thanks to member vicionastral
hope works for u
At first did you install lg drivers ?? Is your PC detect it ??
This happened to me . I used adb_restore-rooting v1.6 and it's work .
When you install ICS you install "lg drivers" as v1.1 right ??
I update the drivers to version v3.xx (from lg support tool) and it's works fine .

Hey guys! Have you run into trouble while using your brand new Gionee Pioneer P2? Have you deleted some system files and now apps are crashing all around you? Or have you somehow bricked your phone? Problem is the stock rom of P2 isn't available on the internet yet, nor are there any custom roms to bail you from this situation at this point. But all hope is not lost.
Enter the Walton Primo F2. It has identical hardware specs as the P2, except for a different primary camera. They look the same as well. Without any doubt they are manufactured by the same Chinese company and sold in different countries with different re-branding and minimal modifications. The stock rom of Primo F2 is 100% compatible with Pioneer P2. And since the installation method is an SP Tool flash, it works on bricked devices as well. All you need is a Pioneer P2 that you want to flash, a Windows PC and a micro-usb cable. Here's how you do the deed.
NOTE : since I am not allowed to post links yet, I'm putting them here in fragments. Please copy the url to your browser and remove the spaces.
First, download the Walton Primo F2 stock rom from HERE - http: // www .mediafire. com/ download/ terzpsp1k1jw8a2/ F2_firmware . rar
Now, unrar the archive. Once you are done with that, you have to install the usb driver in your computer so that your phone gets recognized even when it’s turned off and without a battery. And you must do so manually. So first, unzip the ‘USB VCOM Driver’ package inside the ‘Drivers’ folder. Now the installation. Here’s how you go about that.
In Windows, go to Control Panel and open Device Manager.
Click any of the device groups you see here.
From ‘Action Menu’, select ‘Add Legacy Hardware’
The ‘Add Hardware Wizard’ will open up. Click Next.
Select ‘Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)’
Click Next 2 times, then click the ‘Have Disk’ button
Click Browse and find where the downloaded, unrar-ed firmware folder is. Go to Drivers > USB VCOM Driver > select the .inf file compatible with your Windows OS (XP, Vista or Win7, 32 bit or 64 bit)
Click Open and OK. The driver will be listed. Then click Next. The driver will finish installing.
Well, now that you’re done with the driver installation, time to flash your phone using SP Tools.
Go to ‘Flash Tools’ folder, unrar the SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1312.0.139 package, click 3-4 times to go deep into it where there will be a collection of files, find the little blue ‘Flash_tool’ application file, double click on it to run. The interface will open up.
Click on ‘Download Agent’, browse to the same folder where you found the ‘Flash_tool’ application, and select MTK_AllinONne_DA.
Now click on scatter loading, browse to Software > Primo-F2_0301_T5159. Then select the text document called ‘MT6572_Android_scatter’.
Now click Firmware-> Upgrade and then connect the usb cable with moble while the battery is removed.
Now insert battery. It’ll star downloading. Hold your breath and wait.
After a few minutes it will show a pop up saying ‘Firmware Upgrade’ with a nice green circle. Now, you’re done. Next time you turn on your phone it will be running a shiny new rom, and work like a newly-bought phone!
Of course, don’t forget to do a factory reset first thing when you boot up your phone!
So that’s about it. If you have any doubts of troubles, ask them here. Good luck flashing!
P.S. This guide has been compiled from the instructions given here - http: // www .waltonforum. com/index.php?topic=3101.0 and here - http: // droidchina . com/forum/ Thread-How-to-install-MTK-USB-driver-manually-on-Windows . And of course it should go without saying that I’m not responsible for any possible damages your device incurs during this procedure. Flashing an Android rom is serious business so give it a good thought before deciding if you want to go ahead with it. Your device manufacturer warranty will be null and void the moment you go down this road. So if you feel brave enough, proceed.
Great

You sound like you had the problem before you flashed your phone with this rom, and the situation remained the same even after you ported this firmware to your phone. That, I'm afraid, is a clear indication of a hardware problem. Take your phone to an engineer as soon as you can. Your manufacturer warranty, unfortunately, is no longer valid, unless you have a way to restore your phone to the original stock rom.

Yes, I did have the same problem before porting in this ROM but I thought this would help solve the issue but it did not. Even in the process, the internal partition of my phone was greatly changed which I am afraid may not allow me to gain warranty again even I tried to restore the default Gionee OS.
I noticed something in the files of the WALTON PRIMO which seems to be similar to that of the GIONEE which I backed up using MTK Droid tool. i am now wondering if it's possible for me to simply copy and replace some of the files especially the "boot.img" and the "recovery.img" so I can have GIONEE back and then I can return for warranty.
Also, is there any way for me to flash the radio ROM cos it seems as if the porting did not in any way touch the radio part of the phone at all which I suppose is why the SIM issue persisted; likewise the USB debugging automatically turn on anytime it is connected to a laptop, could this also have an effect and how can it be FULLY RESTORED to factory default setting?
Thanks in advance

Copying and pasting parts of the OS is not advisable. It may leave the ROM fragmented and you don't want to add a shaky software on top of a potential hardware issue. If you have a full back up of the original Gionee P2 rom, fully restore it, flash it back to how it was, unroot it and you will have your warranty back. Otherwise you can still look for reputed experts who work independently in different shops or centres and they can fix the network hardware for an affordable fee. Good luck.

Hi, I have all files of the P2 but I have tried all zip applications I can lay my hands on like WinZip, WinRAR, 7zip and none of them is able to extract the system.img file for me to get anything out of it. Do you have any ideas how I can go about it?

Click Browse and find where the downloaded, unrar-ed firmware folder is. Go to Drivers > USB VCOM Driver > select the .inf file compatible with your Windows OS (XP, Vista or Win7, 32 bit or 64 bit)
Click Open and OK. The driver will be listed. Then click Next. The driver will finish installing.
Well, now that you’re done with the driver installation, time to flash your phone using SP Tools.
Go to ‘Flash Tools’ folder, unrar the SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1312.0.139 package, click 3-4 times to go deep into it where there will be a collection of files, find the little blue ‘Flash_tool’ application file, double click on it to run. The interface will open up.
Click on ‘Download Agent’, browse to the same folder where you found the ‘Flash_tool’ application, and select MTK_AllinONne_DA.
Now click on scatter loading, browse to Software > Primo-F2_0301_T5159. Then select the text document called ‘MT6572_Android_scatter’.
Now click Firmware-> Upgrade and then connect the usb cable with moble while the battery is removed.
Now insert battery. It’ll star downloading. Hold your breath and wait.
After a few minutes it will show a pop up saying ‘Firmware Upgrade’ with a nice green circle. Now, you’re done. Next time you turn on your phone it will be running a shiny new rom, and work like a newly-bought phone!
Of course, don’t forget to do a factory reset first thing when you boot up your phone!
So that’s about it. If you have any doubts of troubles, ask them here. Good luck flashing!
P.S. This guide has been compiled from the instructions given here - http: // www .waltonforum. com/index.php?topic=3101.0 and here - http: // droidchina . com/forum/ Thread-How-to-install-MTK-USB-driver-manually-on-Windows . And of course it should go without saying that I’m not responsible for any possible damages your device incurs during this procedure. Flashing an Android rom is serious business so give it a good thought before deciding if you want to go ahead with it. Your device manufacturer warranty will be null and void the moment you go down this road. So if you feel brave enough, proceed.

Hey man, since you already unbricked your phone, you must be having the drivers installed. So, based on that assumption, all you gotta do is:
Open sp flash tools and repeat the process of selecting the 'Download Agent' and the 'Scatter loading File'.
Keep your phone's battery removed.
Now select 'Firmware Upgrade' option in the SP flash tools.
Connect your phone to your computer (with the battery removed).
SP Flash tools will start the updating/flashing process on your phone.
Insert the battery and wait a few minutes.
You should see a green circle appear in a window.
Then remove the battery, re-insert it and switch on your phone.
You're back to the Stock Wlalton-Primo OS
(Refer my guide on akandroiddevs.blogspot.com if you wanna root your phone)
Hope this helps.

Hey man, The ''Code 10 Error'' is caused mainly because your drivers are either not installed properly or they're corrupted. So wht you gotta do is:
1.Uninstall the drivers of your previous phone
2.Uninstall previously installed drivers of your Gionee P2
3.Restart Your Computer.
Then as for installing the MTK Drivers follow the given on the main post itself, i.e.

Just wanted to ask that does this tool flash the recovery as well? Or just the stock rom? In case i would want to return to stock recovery from CWM, will SP Flash Tool help?
"NO SIM DETECTED" resolved
Thanks all. I tried everything on my Gionee P2 but still showing no sim detected. The issue was resolved after taking it back to Gionee workshop where it was reloaded or whatever was done and all issues resolved. The phone is now back to normal and that done within a space of an hour or so.

yes I guess so. SP flash should flash the recovery rom with little modifications made. I am not a pro yet but I believe it can.

Hey daves3ng, thanks for the reply.
Are you talking about the recovery ROM or the stock RECOVERY? You are talking about flashing the recovery rom whereas i am asking about the stock recovery.
I am still confused about whether SP Flash could bring back the stock recovery on flashing or not. I own the P2 and i just want to flash a custom recovery (CWM, COT or CTR) followed by some nice roms which are available here.
The only thing i am worried about is that in case an issue arises and i have to flash the stock rom using SP Flash Tools, will i get the stock recovery back as well, or not.
Hi ,
After backing up my ZTE V967S imei with mobile uncle i flashed lewa os unfortunately i have lost my imei and baseband and i cant restore the backup , im assuming this is because the efs folder was overwritten and may need to be reformatted, replacing the rom with the stock rom didn't resolve this issue . To compound issue i cant connect to pc at all, i installed all drivers and nothing . So what i think i need is a rom that will repartition the efs from the sd card or some zip file that could rewrite the baseband , any ideas would be helpful.
Kind regards
Jim

OK , files needed are spflash_tool.exe , full backup and MTK usb Vcom driver .
Take out phone battery and attach to pc , i used win 7 , hold the volume down and power button and phone should appear in device manager as unknown device install the driver manually and phone will show up as MTK Port in device manager , it may disconnect and reconnect but do not worry , unplug the phone ,open spflash_tool and load the scatter file(contact me for full backup files) select all files including the preloader and choose auto format now reconnect the phone with battery in and hold down volume and power button as soon as you hear it connect hit download and it will format and flash the stock rom to the file when done just restart your phone and your imei will be back
