Since you are using jayXzMx rom you already have root access!
Go here and download the CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737803
Download it, put it on your sd card.
Install Mobileuncle, open it (allow root permission) and click on Recovery Update!
Select recovery.img you have downloaded earlier.
Press OK and if ask again for root permission, accept.
After this the phone will give you an option to boot into recovery mode
If you want to install the zip package (camera patch or else) then enter recovery, if not, then don't!
From recovery you can make backup of your current rom and configuration, so it's a good idea to make one (just in case!)
To enter recovery, you can do it through Mobileuncle (option Reboot to Recovery) or shut down your phone, volume buttons "+" and "-" (both) pressed + power button!

Ok, are you sure you have working root access? Basically, the issues you have are present because of non rooted phone or badly rooted phone. Please, follow this link and root your device once more! Don't worry the root process is a bit long, but is secure!
Important!!! Before use this method, uninstall SuperSu!

Have tried everything I could remember to solve this Play store issue, but nothing came up, so there is still no go.
I don't like Play Store and I don't use it for security concerns of mine, but other users has to have it working!
Thank you for the help
The best rom I have tested is yours s118, battery life is the best, is totally stable and very fast, so why you don't develop a Miui or Lewa based on your s118?

I rooted my mi3 tab successfully with this method.
I read someplace that our mi3 contains Allwinner A10 processor
Now there is a jellybean rom [CM10 4.1.1] available for tablets with this processor.
But a compatibility pack is required to be flashed for the touchscreen to work after flashin this rom.
Can this rom be installed? Can any developer please try this and confirm?

mibook mi3 is not based on allwinner chip. it has a telechip TCC 892x processor. its a rebranded turkish product called Dark Evopad T7000. visit www.dark.com.tr to see the original tab. dont attempt to flash allwinner based ROM....u will brick your tablet. you may install CWm recovery for this tab. search for my post for details.

Yes. This method is applicable for MI 1/2/3/5 etc tablets. you can try it without any fear. just be sure that you have the right drivers installed. drivers for your tab will get installed the moment you plug it in you PC. If it dosen't install pdanet app on your phone and on ur PC and connect your tab to the PC. Run pdanet...it will automatically install the correct drivers for your tab.

2. Download the SP Flash tool, with the scatter file and the recovery.img. Download link here: http://goo.gl/SD9kh
CWM Version 6 available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43039475#post43039475 thanks to @deepak2111
3. Extract the zip file and run the Flash_tool.exe
Leave all the options as default, do not tinker with any settings, except pointing to the correct scatter file.
4. The scatter file and the recovery.img are placed in a folder named DreamD1 in the extracted folder.
In the Flash tool, click on scatter-loading button and select the file named MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc_PMT.txt
The recovery will be auto selected as shown in the image below: DO NOT CHECK ANY OTHER CHECKBOXES.

MIUI
How about porting MIUI to start with?
I am already running MIUI Home Launcher and it is a breeze. Do you have any experience with porting ?
I looked at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827256 and it looks straight forward. What I am not sure is how much these applications depend on the underneath framework.. I mean, If I take all these apk and libraries, will it work on this stock Gionee Dream D1 ROM ?

Did you install the MediaTek drivers from the link above? Make sure you dont have the phone connected in the PDANet+ (Right click on the System Tray icon and click on disconnect. Also make sure you have USB debug enabled, under Settings->Developer Options.
If all the above fail try restarting the system and try to connect the phone to a different USB port on your computer.
let me know the results.

Currently looking at various Chinese forums to get a proper rom backup tool for MediaTek based devices. Also have contacted Gionee India asking them to release the Factory Stock ROM and the flashtool for the device. Micromax, Lava and many other manufactures give the Stock ROM for download.
At work now and do not have access to any of the resources here..

On my windows 7 ThinkPad, it has never been able to detect the phone over the serial console. Perhaps I'll try it on someone else's box.

Things to know before proceeding:

3. I want to tell u that i dont own this phone. So pls dont expect any testing services...
4. My friend owns this phone so i making this thread

Guyz first of all i want to tell you one thing that my friend is going somewhere so i have nothing for testing. I have found the root and extracted all necessary files for development.. So here we go
Installing ADB Drivers
Firstly Download a Software called Moborobo and intall it in your PC : Link
Now In your Phone go to SETTINGS>Develeper Options and tick usb debugging.
Now connect ur phone to PC via usb cable and open moborobo.
Now moborobo will install the drivers.
Rooting Guide
Download the Rooting Kit from Here. [Credits: Bin4ry for his amzing program]
Connect your phone to the pc with drivers installed.
Now extract the Rooting Kit anywhere and open RunMe.bat
Choose normal by pressin 1 and then Enter
Now you will be asked to restore you Data on your phone. Click restore my data
Now hold your heart and sit down for 2 minutes and voila!! Your device is rooted
Removing Bloatware
Bloatware are the apps which are of no use but can't be deleted as they come preintsalled on your device. These app consume ram and sytem memory both
Steps:
This tutorial uses ‘root explorer’ app to select and move files, but ‘ES file explorer’ can also be used to follow these steps.
Open ‘root explorer’ and grant root permissions to ‘root explorer’.
Navigate to /system/app folder. Go to options.
Tap on ‘Multi-select’ and start selecting following apps (bloatware for me, may not be for you) from the folder – Email.apk, Email.odex, entertainment.apk, Exchange.apk, Exchange.odex, games.apk, GMS_Maps.apk, livetv.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, LiveWallpapers.odex, Talk.apk.
Either delete these from ‘root explorer’ or move to SD card if you plan to use them later.
Enjoy a faster A7*.
Caution : please ask before deleting something which you don't know what it is about in system/app as all files there are not bloatware. One user made had to go to service center because of it.

MODS.
All the mods which are working on a7* will be posted here. By working I mean that most of them will be tested. If u find any good mod working on this phone then tell me I will add it here so everyone can find it.
INTERNAL MEMORY MOD
Steps:
First of all u need a memory card. A class 10 memory card is recommended, class 4 will also do the task but may cause some lag in your phone
Now you have to partition your SD card to an EXT partition. Any of the EXT 2/3/4 will work. For partitioning your SD card you can refer to this GUIDE
After partitioning your SD card download this app and install busy box using this app LINK
Now you have to activate init.d support in your phone. For that visit this thread. Better use the apk method.
All those steps were preparation. Now comes the main work. Using any root file browser like Root explorer or ES file manger go to
System>etc> init.d and download this File and paste it there.
Now download Android terminal emulator from Google play
Open terminal and type
Code:
su
and grant root permisions
Now type this code
Code:
cd /system/etc/init.d
chmod 0755 40int2ext
and press enter
Now type this
Code:
chown root.root 40int2ext
and press enter
Now close everything and reboot the device and go to settings>storage and see the magic
Warning : don't keep ext partition size more than 750 mb

I am going to write you some simple steps to install CWM 6.0.3.4 / TWRP 2.5.0.0 recovery on your Lenovo A850.
I will be very detailed, advanced users should skip the boring stuff
This guide was writed based on this thread. A similar guide can be found at this thread. Look there for more info.
You will need:
- Rooted Lenovo A850 (simple guide here, not tested)
- Mobileuncle MTK Tools (GooglePlay)
- Recovery Image for A850 (CWM or TWRP)
BEFORE GOING ON, MIND THAT I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF ANYTHING HAPPENS ON YOUR PHONE.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
INSTUCTIONS:
1. Download the recovery image:
First of all we need to find out what firmware version our phone has (ROW or CN).
I can see mine looking the Baseband version (located at Settings->About phone->Version Infos->Baseband version) which is "A850.ROW.v18", so i have a ROW firmware installed. I suppose it will say something like "A850.CN.vXX" if you have a CN filmware.
If you don't know which version you own, try one. If it is the wrong version, your phone will just not boot into the recovery. Reboot the phone and install an other version.
Now we can download the right recovery image version.
- For ROW firmware download this (Mirror 1 from source thread).
(This version of CWM never worked for me, scroll down at bugs)
- For CN firmware download this (Mirror 1 from source thread).
(Downloads include both CWM and TWRP recoveries)
After downloading, extract the content (use 7zip program). You will see 3 files, we will not need the "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt" file. You can delete it or keep it if you want to flash roms in the future.
2. Move the revovery image in you SD card:
Connect your phone on your PC and mount the SD card. Now move the recovery image you want in you phone's SD card:
- For TWRP is the "recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.0.img" file
- For CWM is the "recovery_z_CWM_v6.0.3.4.img" file
(You can delete the other one after that)
When the move finishes, disconnect the phone.
3. Install Mobileuncle MTK Tools:
Open GooglePlay on your phone, search for "Mobileuncle" and install Mobileuncle MTK Tools.
4. Install recovery: (IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING DO NOT PROCEED)
Open Mobileuncle MTK Tools. (You will be asked to give root permition to the app, select always yes)
Click on "Recovery Update" and the app will find the recovery image in your SD card. (in the first line, do not click any other recovery)
Click on the recovery image you selected (recovery_TWRP_2.5.0.0.img or recovery_z_CWM_v6.0.3.4.img), click OK to install recovery... wait some seconds, and then click OK to reboot into recovery.
Done! You are in the recovery
(If the phone reboots and then shutdown, the recovery.img didn't work. Try an other version.)
How to get into recovery: (2 simple ways)
- Power of your phone. Wait some second. Press the power button and bot h volume keys and not let them go until the logo appears (the phone will also vibrate). It takes up to 7 seconds to open, keep pressing the buttons until the vibration.
- With Mobileuncle MTK Tools, open it and click on "Into Recovery Mode".
Keys:
- CWM: Use volume keys and the power button to move around
- TWRP: Touch the screen, swipe etc.

Bugs:
- I got an error will trying to backup (CWM ROW version), "can't mount data" . If you face this problem, better install this CWM version. It worked for me
I cant download the cwm recovery image files from given mirror. Please attach another link for the download of files.. i wish to install cwm on my a850... i have a ROW a850... and will this cwm get rid of my chinese stock recovery.. the reason why i want to install cwm is because i cant understand chinese.. thank you in advance... hope you can help me.. thanks...

I do not want to mirror the files since they are not my work. The links work fine, try again please
If you can't, try this file (ROW version ONLY). It is a different version, i have tested it, this is the version i am currently using. I do not remember who made it but his name is written in the recovery. Use at your own risk! I take no responsibility!
What will possibly happen when something goes wrong about installing cwm on my phone?.. will this get rid of my chinese stock recovery?... thanks again...

Yes it should get rid of the chinese recovery.
If something goes wrong you will probably have to install a new recovery again, nothing special, but when you mess with your phone i do not know what you may click on. I do not know how experienced each user is, somebody can delete the whole rom of his phone clicking a wrong button... and i do not want him to come back and say "you did that".
thanks sir.. i've followed all your instructions.. i have installed TWRP on my a850 successfully... However the CWM does not work... CWM was the first recovery i tried because im much familiar with it but when i enter recovery mode, TWRP is the one installed... But still, i got a new recovery which i understand... Thank you very much sir and more power to you... If you have other mods for lenovo a850, can you please share it here... Thanks Again...
Thanks for your Tutorial, I have replaced stock recovery with TWRP successfully.
Do you have any custome ROM that can be flashed into this Lenovo A850 by using TWRP ?
I used TWRP to flash the ROM from this site xiaomi.eu/community/threads/4-2-14.23544/ , but failed (stuck at Lenovo logo at boot).

Even though i use CWM, the bootlogo stuck for me was not caused by the recovery.
I had the same problem. You must first install the s121 rom.
WARNING after the install you will not be able to get back just with a CWM, TWRP restore. (i believe you will have to flash the stock rom again to do so)
If you want to proceed, follow this video.
(when you click Firmware Update, wait 2-3 seconds and connect your phone WITH battery closed, that is what i couldn't do)
hi, what is my version ?

Just installed the CWM finally, yup it is in Eng and the most important part is wiping out the chinese language. thanks
I have to agree, sending to recovery terminal by using the hardware key power button + vol up/down key is just too difficult to do so, most of the time sent me to meta or factory mode. Mobileuncle tool works but what I am most preferred by using the button in case the ROM inaccessible and I am unable to reach mobileuncle to do the restoration.
help
Hello! Can I install CWM from app Rom Manager not? Thank you.
Anyone have cwm for Lenovo a680 ?
Sent from my Lenovo A680_ROW using XDA Free mobile app

TWRP Recovery:
1. Download Drivers and install them (Disable Signed Driver Enforcement)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1T6MTq1upNt_yxrPD9MfOHR8vTOzRisvs
2. Download Oppo R9s Plus/F3 Plus Marshmallow Firmware (CPH1611EX_11_A.16_180106) and Extract it using Winrar/7-zip into a seperate FOLDER
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xo-J5Pe65-fXyJbysVrAZYQ1mocfl53s/view
2.1 Also Download Oppo A57 Firmware and extract it anywhere you like
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B_0XnEjFCVsPWndzSnp2YTFYSkU&export=download
3. Download TWRP Recovery - Keep the recovery img in the same folder as of extracted firmware folder and make sure recovery file name is set to "recovery.img"
Twrp 3.1.1-0 (Latest) - Material Theme and Inbuilt Super SU Root available for easy rooting BUT Chinese language
Download and Extract only recovery.img and place it under firmware folder. u can delete other files.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gkNNx2Ik6oRF-juBDNIilDUu31w6_oI_/view?usp=sharing
To change the chinese language to english please download and flash this zip But in English language you will not get Super SU Root option to root the device from built-in twrp. you have to download SU zip now. So root directly from chinese language and then flash the english language zip to be on safe and easy side
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=817550096634752414
Twrp 3.1.0-0 (old) (RECOMMENDED) -
Normal appearance of twrp and no inbuilt SU (sometimes it prompts to install SU, if you decline once, it won't prompt again) and totally English language. Most importantly you can flash opposite OTA updates (ozip) via this twrp
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/qbobokagdgme2oa/AABQBtKTmbwChne9z1DaayHca?dl=0&preview=recovery.zip
4. Run the MsmDownloadTool from A57 Firmware folder and you will get Session Timeout error. just ignore it and close the software
4.1. Now run MsmDownloadTool from our F3 plus firmware folder and uncheck "Reset After Download"
5. Switch off ur Mobile and Hold Vol down + Vol Up simultaneously and Plug the usb to pc
5.1 After plugging to pc, open device manager and expand PORTS section and make sure the device is detected as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM xx)". if not you have drivers issues!
6. Press F5, uncheck all options except Recovery and double click on Recovery option and select the recovery.img from firmware folder.
7. press Start and Flashing will be success (Green color message). press stop and unplug the usb
8. Press and hold Vol Up and Power Button and release them when it vibrates. NOW IMMEDIATELY after seeing oppo logo AGAIN PRESS Vol up + Power button to Power Off your device to prevent booting!!!! (If you fail to turn off your device, mobile will boot and will auto restore the stock recovery. so you will have to re-flash the twrp again)
9. Now press Vol Down + Power button to Enter into TWRP
BONUS - Stock Recovery & New OTA Update

Thank you for the mention, honestly I just said a few details only. We need people like you to shed some light on these unloved phones. XDA community thanks you heartfully for your contribution.
The only thing I can say is : Go Forth, and plant the Nougat to the ground herewith. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It's time for Nougat to be rooted.
Also just like to confirm that MSMDownloadTool works for Windows 10 too, as proved by this article and video : http://www.techzai.com/crack-msmdownload-tool/

i think i have the nougat recovery. testing in progress now. will let you know
edit: tested nougat recovery of r9s/r9sk but FAILED
tested windows 10 method of flashing via MiFlash tool. flashing goes success but mobile keeps vibrating but no life
tested twrp 3.1.1.0 and 3.1.0.0. both are working fine but the latest twrp is in chinese language. will figure out to change its language
only windows 7 with msmdownload tool method is working.
Good news:
Root > Magisk v16.0(latest stable) is working flawlessly
Will update OP with magisk installation steps
note: backup ur internal memory in advance xD xD
Hi, i recently update my oppo F3 plus (CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 marshmallow), and i try to root it using this method, it's always boot on the stock recovery when i finish (i did step by step every single world you said).
I think that's a security renforcement about this version of colorOs, i wonder if there is a way ton downgrade to the last version without losing my data (lots of apps), because i did root it whit the version that i had once.
Thanks you
Re: So, i flashed my oppo with the msmtool that you put on your post (all images expect datauser partition), and changed the recovery image before the phone boots..... and it woorks perfectly now.
PS: dont upgrade to the version CPH1613EX_11_A.18_180413 if you want root your phone, it won't work.

Did you uncheck "Reset After Download" option in msmtool ?
No, i didn't ; in all case i didn't let the phone boot after passing the recovery.img.
Wich version of rom do you have please ?
EDIT: when i downgrade the rom, it worked perfectly
NB: after downgrading , the first time, the phone boot directly and it was the new version (wich causes me problems) that was on it, even when i had flashing all the system

1. U need to uncheck reset after download option to not let the tool to reboot it phone into os
2. I have upgraded to a.18 build via ota 65mb and root worked. Tested with my own hands
3. Caution: if you dont CHECK userpartition in msmtool, after reboot it asks for Android password to proceed and we don't know that password. It's a checkmate. You need to wipe everything to boot
4. If you have patience please flash Magical 16.0 and test it. For me Wi-Fi is not turning on after flashing magisk.
5. I suggest you to use the twrp 3.1.0. bcoz the latest 3.1.1 does not flash oppo ota (.ozip)
Thank you for replying, can you please sent me a link for this OTA updates , beacause the one which is proposed for me on my phone weights 1.7Gb , and the only link i found is on a vientnam website wich doesn't work (probabely because i'm in algeria lol)
