UPDATE:
Hey guys,
One of our Romanian fellows has found an article with a much easier ROOTing method, in case you're wondering: http://www.androidvillaz.com/2015/11/how-to-root-gionee-m5-and-install-twrp-recovery.html
This one should be pretty easy and straight forward. ( thanks ovi_jer! )
The BACKUP part of the tutorial is stil valid and can be used to fully backup your STOCK ROM before you start rooting your device.
Best of luck!
Backup
Before doing anything, I strongly recommend that you perform a full backup in case something goes wrong along the way and you manage to brick your phone (I've bricked mine several times until I found the right method).
Once your drivers are installed you'll need to connect your phone to your PC
Drag down the notification bar and click on the "Connected as a media device" notification
Make sure "USB debugging is on"
Open "SP_Flash_Tool_exe_Windows_v5.1528.00.000\flash_tool.exe"
Click on the "Download" tab
Click on the "Scatter-loading" button on the top-right
Select the "Allview_P8_Energy_0102_V6063_STOCK_scatter.txt" scatter file from the "ROM_Allview_P8_Energy_0102_V6063" folder that was created when you've unzipped the kit
Now click on the "Readback" tab
Click the "Add" button on the top-left
Once the new entry is added in the list below, double-click it and a file dialog will open
Now give your ROM BACKUP a name (you will need this later on in case you want to perform an emergency recovery)
Select the folder where you wish to place your new backup and click Save
A new popup will open allowing us to set the readback block start address - make sure Type: Hex is selected
Make sure start address is 0x0000000000000000
In the Length box, put this: 0x00000000d7800000
Click on OK
And now, to begin the readback (backup) procedure, you'll need to click on the Read Back button (top-center)
Now reboot your phone (long-press the Lock button on your phone until the Power Off/Reboot dialog appears and select REBOOT)
Once the phone reboots the SPF app should start saving the phone memory to file, and your backup is created
Once you see a green success message, you can safely turn your phone back on (unplug USB and long press the Lock button until the screen turns on)
Good luck!
downloading ), finger crossed ), thank you
next thing to try is xposed )
step 1 : flashed, no errors
step 2 : booting , optimising app ; probably did not format my old data partition ?

Glad to hear it. I might have noticed some issues with the network settings (for some reason my 2G network doesn't seem to work but it might be because I've overwritten something with the Gionee versions and forgot to restore it from the Allview version) - I'll investigate this further and come up with a solution.
Cheers!
step 3 : launcher stopped first second after boot, looping
step 4 : restart to recovery, here surpiseeeee : stock recovery, i flashed with twrp one )
step 5 : i will flash again, if factory reset not solve it
step 6 : fixed with factory reset , next step is to flash twrp
i don't have any problems with sim or network signals, except my imei are reversed, imei 1 are in imei 2 slot )), checked with *#06#
edit 7, tried to flash twrp again, same thing , stock recovery are present ), flashed both file, flashed my twrp file, the same stock is always present ))
NOW WORKING !! FULL ROM, ROOT &TWRP
Do you think allview firmare will work on M5? Am asking so that people will not go and end up with bricked phones

I flashed with the TWRP scatter and TWRP wasn't installed just stock recovery. So did you flash the TWRP recovery manually?
EDIT - To say I manully flashed the TWRP recovery and worked fine
Spare parts for Energy P8
As a quick update: I've hard-bricked mine . I then went for the battery (to do a hard reset) then while putting the screws back, I've accidentally put a longer screw in the wrong place and pierced my screen :silly:
So now I have spare parts for the Allview Energy P8 But nevertheless, it's still an awesome phone and I've already placed an order for another one.
Can't wait to get my new Energy P8 :crying:
Cheers!
Damn, sorry to hear that (((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Oh well, that happens. It's funny that it had nothing to do with the rooting itself ) It was just me playing around... Anyway, I've decided to cancel my order and just call Allview - maybe they can change just the case & screen, which should be cheaper than getting a new one fingers crossed.
I'll post the questions I receive in private just in case there are other people who could use the answer.

A big thank you for the rooting and custom rom you developed for gionee m5 and also sorry abt ur fone as well. But i will want you to describe only the rooting process and give me all the necessary file to achieve that including the sptool you use, ve been trying to do dat for the past two days but no success (thanks to crizzy and glbsolutions) but I still can't flash twrp (error message "PMT change for the rom").

The files that I've used to root it are all present in the Preparation section: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4y-lCr0oBtjcV9WcDJEb2hkcFE/view?pli=1
WARNING: I have not tested this for the Gionee Marathon M5 (only for Allview Energy P8 which is a rebranded version of the M5).
I recommend that you follow all the steps: Preparation, Backup, Flashing TWRP/STOCK (this is the part where it replaces your ROM with a rootable one) and then the activation of Root.
I believe you got stuck at the Flashing part. The trick I did was to use my STOCK ROM files but I've replaced the recovery.img file with the TWRP recovery (which also has rooting ability).
Simply get a copy of your ROM (see this post for links - don't forget to give thanks! - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63816091&postcount=68 )
Replace the recovery.img file in your Gionee Stock ROM with the recovery_twrp.img you find in the Allview ZIP (ROM_Allview_P8_Energy_0102_V6063/recovery_twrp.img)
Make sure ONLY recovery and system are checked!
Don't forget to wipe the cache and user data - maybe @criszz has a few tips here?
You should now have your stock ROM with TWRP recovery installed. Once you have that, simply follow the steps in the ROOT section above and you should be fine.
Cheers!
My phone is Allview branded but before to put this rom was with gionee stock rom. I flashed allview rom and with allview scater i put twrp, with whole rom, not just twrp. Flashed 3 times before twrp to work ))

I think mine worked on the first run because I did an OEM Unlock before starting
WARNING: Performing an OEM Unlock will prevent your phone from booting, so make sure you have everything ready for flashing before doing that!
To perform the OEM Unlock you'll need to:
Enable OEM unlock from Developer options
Connect your phone to your pc via USB
run: adb reboot bootloader
then to unlock run: fastboot oem unlock
Cheers!
don't do that like me, after putting the rom, you will have bootlop and twrp bakup doesn't help. Now i'm flasing again with bootloader unloked )
hmmm, after flash im still not able to restore my data ), maybe it must be unlocked again, are you sure you flashed with bootloader unlocked?
locked bootloader again, still not working, i will flash gionee stock rom and again after allview rom with twrp )

@criszz I flashed all files from the Allview ROM, rebooted and went into the ROM to check it was working, I then rebooted into recovery but it was stock recovery. I then just flashed the TWRP recovery (by choosing same scatter file but only ticking recovery). I then booted into recovery and TWRP was there
after some work i concluded : is not worth to unlock bootloader, so stay away of that.
Finnaly i restore my twrp bakup back right now.
For anyone who has 'Invalid IMEI' after flashing (as I did). Here's how I solved:
1. Download 'MTK Engineering Mode' from the playstore
2. Open app and select 'MTK Settings', scroll to 'Connectivity' tab then select 'CDS Information'
3. Select 'Radio Information' then SIM 1
4. Type AT +EGMR=1,7,"INSERT YOUR IMEI HERE", then Send AT Command
5. Select 'Radio Information' then SIM 2
6. Type AT +EGMR=1,10,"INSERT YOUR IMEI HERE", then Send AT Command
7. reboot and all was OK

Hi tipuban, thank you sooooooooooo muuuuuuuuuuch for this tuto. I have a question for you if you may. But first a little notification to help you (You will need to download the Allview_P8_Energy_0102_V6063.zip file and unpack it somewhere you can access the contents.) i tried to download but the link don't work for me . Before asking my question, i want to tell you that i have a gionee marathon m5 with androide 5.1 but with the memory leak issue problem, that's why i posted a thread here to ask help to dowgrade to kitkat. Now my question for you is : if i follow your tuto flash the TWRP, root my phone with the stock Rom gave, will this androide problem disappear or it still gonna be present? Thanks

Hi adamyd,
Unfortunately it seems that somebody reported the file and Google has taken it down, which means that either Allview or Gionee do not want the software online for public access. Makes you wonder why wouldn't they want that tho... I feel this issue requires a bit of paranoia here so I'll investigate this as soon as I'll have some free time. Could it be collecting personal data? Usage patterns? Just wondering...
Aaanyhow, until some official from Allview or Gionee gives us green light to post their ROM online, we will have to do this manually.
Regarding the memory leak, I'm not aware if the Gionee ROM or the Allview ROM have this issue fixed - haven't had any problems with it so far.
Now, if you still want to root your phone the manual way, here is a suggestion of how it could be done (that's how I did it):
First, you will need to follow the steps mentioned in the Backup section of the tutorial and then generate your own ROM, which means you'll have to:
Download the SPFT application from the web (try searching XDA or simply use Google).
Get the scatter file for the Gionee Marathon M5 device ( try googling for "MT6735_Android_scatter.txt" ).
Follow the rest of the backup procedure described in the tutorial.
Dice the backup file (resulted from the BACKUP operation) into actual partition images, replace the recovery image file with the TWRP_recovery one and finally flash the entire MODIFIED ROM to your phone's memory.
Let me know if you choose to go the manual route, and I'll post a tutorial on how to accomplish #4 in the list above.
Cheers!

Hi all,
Just got my Star S5 in the mail, while I'm in the process of removing all chinese bloatware, I'm hitting a wall here. To remove baidu I need root (which i want anyway, actually), but I can't seem to boot into cwm-recovery after creating my own with smart phone flash tools and mtk droid root & tools. None of the other options listed online work either! Is there a secret button combination or something to get into recovery or does smart phone flash tools SAY it flashed the boot.img and recovery.img but doesn't it actually do it?
Pressing vol+ and power, then when green android pops up on screen releasing power but holding vol+ doesn't work (it just continues to boot regularly)!
Edit: ninonirvana's solution below worked to get into CWM.. however, flashing the superuser-binary doesn't work on android 4.2 and up. I had to use SuperSU, everything works now!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2215393 you can use this tool to restar in to recovery
I can't seem to find the tutorial I used yesterday (it was today, actually, 2.30am) but I read back the original scatter-file and rom with mtk droid root & tools, afterwards I used spflashtool SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 to read back the original rom (cache-HEX as endpoint) and used mtk droid root & tools again to create my new boot.img and recovery.img. Lastly, i followed this <<USE SUPERSU INSTEAD OF SUPERUSER>> tutorial, flashing only my newly created recovery.img and boot.img, after using your nexus toolkit to get into cwm. I backed up my rom now AND rooted, so all is well
NOTE: as stated above, using superuser doesn't work on android 4.2 and up, you should flash superSU instead!
I know this phone is new and I may get it in the future, once the rooting process is is figured out for MT6589, it may be useful for other phones with the same chip. Can someone write a simple step-by-step instructions on how to root it for others so there won't be a bunch of scattered threads and questions about the same thing. Thanks in advance!

It is no one key root tool for android 4.1 or android 4.2. I think the best way for root the phone is flashing the phone with rooted ROM if it exists

I've managed (finally to trick windows 8 into installing the vcom...) to flash the chiniese green recovery - but I have no idea how to navigate and what option to choose - since I saw SD I went to that one and clicked with the power button - writes something in chinese in white and does nothing? Am I doing something wrong in here? Is there a special way to navigate that recovery?
Shoud I have placed the supersu zip in a specific folder? rename it perhaps to update.zip or something like that?

If you post a screenshot of the recovery menus, then we could get someone who understands Chinese to do a line-by-line translation. Or maybe even Google Translate

After rooting the device I pushed the NetworkLocation.apk into system/app - but to no avail - I still can't get any google location.
Does anybody know what can be done?

I really dont want to get an expensive brick to throw out of the window...

I just ordered one, so if someone can write tut for root..
Thanks..
I would like also a guide, maybe even with a non Chinese (english) recovery and rom..
I just got the the phone - and its sweet And I must admit I did like the price also
Please note: I know there are other guides here on XDA but none worked for me, so I'm writing this to help other stuck people.
Disclaimer: I tested this on my XT1032, I don't know if or how it will work on other variants. Following this guide you'll lose all data on your phone, make sure to backup important stuff. I'm not responsible for what you do to your phone following this guide (anyway if you're here probably you have not much to lose...)
Introduction
What happened: a couple of weeks ago I wanted to try GPE rom on my XT1032, so I flashed the appropriate rom for my device (4.4.3 KOT49H.M004) and then applied OTA (4.4.3 KOT49H.M004 to 4.4.4 KTU84P.M003). Today I decided to go back to stock, so I rebooted in bootloader mode and tried to flash stock 4.4.3.
Result: a bunch of fastboot errors, ranging from "wrong size partitions", to "preflash validation failed", to ... well I don't remember all of them, as I said they were a lot..
Then I tried older versions, I tried to reflash 4.4.3 GPE, I tried to follow guides, here on XDA and around the vast internet.. All with no luck. Until I found one and, long story short I did it. I'm back to stock 4.4.4 (flashed stock 4.4.3 and applied OTA)
I'm sharing this what I did to recover from the soft-brick, hoping to help someone. This guide is not a temporary workaround while waiting for full 4.4.4 GPE image, this will fully restore your Moto G.
Let's start
- Make sure you have fastboot drivers installed (if you managed to soft-brick it you probably have them already installed, otherwise you can get them here)
- Download and extract this
- Reboot your phone in fastboot mode (keep Volume Down and Power buttons pressed for about 5 seconds then release the power button) and plug it to the PC
- Open the extracted folder and run "GPE_XT1032_KOT49H.M004_CFC.bat". Wait for it to finish (ignore errors, they're normal), then reboot to bootloader again (choose Normal powerup and keep pressed Volume Down until it boots to bootloader again)
- Download and extract this (mirror)
- Open the extracted folder and run THE FILE "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.bat" (poorly chosen filenames, I know)
- Wait for it to finish, then choose "Recovery" item in bootloader and let it reboot to recovery.
- Go to "mounts and storage" and select "format cache", confirm, then select "format /data and /data/media", confirm.
- Go back to main menu and select "wipe data/factory", confirm.
- Return to the folder and run the file "adb push a.zip sdcard a.zip.bat", let it finish (it will take a couple of minutes, the window will close itself when done).
- From recovery select "install zip", then "choose zip from sd card" and select "a.zip". Let it finish, then go back to main menu and choose "power options", then "reboot to bootloader"
- Download and extract this (mirror)
- Open the extracted folder and run "flashall.bat". You should see no error (I got an error while it was flashing recovery but this is not important, what you should notice is that all the errors you got before are gone). Let it finish, then give it some time to boot.
Enjoy
You're done. Now you should have a stock 4.4.2 retail EU moto g. At this point you can flash the rom you want (for example, I flashed the original retail de, since my phone is german) without getting errors
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More or less I followed this, but I wrote the exact steps I made, I fixed wrong commands and uploaded a more complete version for last file
i have the same problem... i am waiting for thoe missing files... and i will try to go back to stock
EDIT i can't download the filles from mega

I fixed first link, I'm going to check the one from mega... If you find some other problems please let me know so I'll update
Edit: mega link is working. I suppose you're from Italy (me too), it's a DNS problem (mega has been blocked by AGCOM). you can follow this guide to change dns to google ones (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). When you downloaded the file you can set them back to auto. If someone can suggest an alternative good host (and possibly a way to directly upload from mega (I have a veeeeery slow upload bandwidth) I'll appreciate
i have already tried that method but no luck..

Try with tor bundle.. It's a version of firefox modified for privacy and security purposes, you should be able to download from mega with it
Or this

Did you follow exactly the guide? Did you get errors while wiping or flashing a.zip from recovery?
flashing stock
maybe beacuse i have booted after flashing gpe... i needed to boot it beacuse adb gives me error (device not found)
so i will keep gpe

That is due to drivers.. OK, in case you do it again, check recovery messages to be sure it's doing its things

This is useful if you can't flash anything. If you can, you can just flash stock or custom ROM

Didn't know this was linked in other threads
I hope this will be sticked or something, to avoid being forgotten in a couple of months. When I was searching how to unbrick I read of people who gave up and bought a replacement, wasting money when fortunately there is a solution
It did work!
I used Linux, so had to change a few things in the command files.
There are also two things:
1.
adb push a.zip /sdcard/a.zip - no apsce before the 2nd a.zip
2.
after the 3rd step recovery complains about "new ROM will overwrite recovery" - I have answered Yes.
I have got also another problem. Meanwhile I tried to recover my phone after the downgrade from 4.4.4 GPE to 4.4.2 Motorola ROM (before this thread), I have lost the IMEI... Currently it's still 0.
Anyone have an idea to recover this?
Hi Team,
Just brought in a chinese version of OnePlus One flashed with CyanogenMod 11 , Went to cynaogen site and it seems the file available is "cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip" when most the site indicate the files without fast-boot , not sure if this would work.
Anyways i attempted to try it out and i copied the files to the SD card and when intop recovery mod using power + volume Down ( The Chinese guys has already rooted and flashed custom-recovery on the device ) , but to my suprise the the entire input of the screen was in Chinese.
So my question and the help needed is
+ How do i install or change the Custom-recovery to English .
+ Can anyone please provide me step by step procedure to install CyanogenMod 11s from CyanogenMod 11.
I know its lame , as this is my first ever time and would like to give it a go.
Thanks
Faisal

If you're already rooted and you just need to change recovery just install TWRP manager from the play store and install the latest version of TWRP recovery from the app.
The version is 2.7.1.1 and your device is called bacon.
Happy flashing.
Then you can download CM11s rom zip file and flash it as any custom rom. As you're rooted use titanium backup to backup your apps (don't backup system data) in order to restore your applications after the upgrade as you will have to do a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik cache/boot/system) before installing CM11s.
Good luck bro!

Brilliant , thanks again DuckMcQUack , i will get that done tonight after i reach home.
One last question , Is " "cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip" avaiable at Cyanogen site the same as "cm-11.0-xxxxx-bacon-signed.zip" , since most of the site says the team cyanogen has removed the offical OnePlus One build from their site and the different forums also indicates files without fastboot keyword.

You should find a zip that can be installed from recovery, i think that those on the site you linked are only flashable in fastboot.
I hope someone will chime in and point you towards the right version, i never searched for it as i am totally rooted but stock as now.
EDIT - FOUND IT http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed.zip

Thanks Again , will keep you posted on my progress :good:
Finally flashed CM11s on the OPO.
Finally I have my first Custom ROM install done and feel so happy ( Yes i did face some issue , but it was a worth learning them on how to fix it ). :victory:
BIG SHOUT out to DuckMcQUack for helping me out, without your knowledge i would have not known about TWRP , thanks man , cant thank you enough . :good:
I have posted the steps that i followed ( below ) and the issues faced , maybe it can help in someone else (who is Novice like me) to flash CM11s on their OPO .
I will start with my Issues faced first before posting steps to install , so that people are aware of things that can go wrong if you don't follow the instruction properly. :laugh:
ISSUE FACED:
1. After installing TWRP recovery and installing the image from the TWRP app ( Install TWRP option in the app ) even after selecting Bacon as the device name , rebooting into recovery mode , still showed me CWM in Chinese language ( spend one hour to figure this out on how to get this replaced )
2. After the fix of TWRP , rebooted the device on recovery mode and wiped the cache and formated the device , but for some reason my Internal Storage was also wiped out even the image that i copied to the storage, leaving my phone bricked and no OS to boot my phone ( spend 2 hours to figure this out , as i didn't have the adb-shell sorted before wiping the phone OS )
3. After getting things sorted and moving the image ( zip file ) to the storage , installing the zip file indicates " Partion Table Error " and spend almost 2 hours again to figure this out.
MY SETUP:
+ Sony Viao running Windows 8.1
+ OnePlus One Chinese Edition - SandStone Black ( 64 GB ) - Brought from OPPOMART
+ OnePlus One Already rooted
+ OnePlus One was running CynanogenMod 11
+ OnePlus One was using ClockWork Mod in chinese language.
TOOLS NEEDED:
+ TWRP Manager: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
+ TWRP Manager Image: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/231
+ ADT bundle: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
+ CynanogenMod 11s: http://dist01.slc.cyngn.com/factory/bacon/cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed.zip
+ USB OTG ( Very Important as this saved my life ) : You can get from any local mobile store.
STEPS FOLLOWED:
1. Ensure your OPO is rooted , my device was already rooted by the seller so didnt have to follow any steps , im not going to provide any steps to root the device since i havent followed any and also haven't tested those steps to know what issues you would face.
Please do check the forum / google search on how to root OPO , once done follow the rest of the steps.
If you wanted to know how did i know my device was rooted , on CM11 ( that came with device ) on settings at the very bottom I had SuperUser settings.
2. Install TWRP , fastboot the device to install the image using ADT bundle->platform-tool to convert CWM Recovery to TWRP Recovery.
Deatils steps on how to do it is provided by youtuber "sakitech" ( Again a big thanks to him ) , check his video on how to change the CWM to TWRP : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnESTcH2ioA
Quick Tip , on OnePlus One
- To Fastboot its: Turn-off-the-device -> Power + VolumeUp ( together )
- To Enter in recoverymod its : Turn-off-the-device -> Power + VolumeDown ( together )
3. Once you have followed the steps , make sure you go through the options available in TWRP Recovery and also check if your phone detects the usb-otg ( a life-saver if your phone is bricked and dont want to go through sideloading the zip files to the phone using adb which is a pain )
- Power of the phone
- plug the usg-otg to the device
- hold power + volume down
- on the TWRP recovery page , click on mount and mount usb-otg
- hit back and then on advanced -> filemanager , check if you can view files in the usb-otg folder
- Back to the main menu , reboot the phone normally.
4. After downloading the file (Cyanogenmod 11s) files make sure the checksum ( md5 ) is the same as shown on the site .
To do so,
- On the windows command prompt ( windows key + R and type in cmd )
- navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the CM11s zip file ( cd <type-in-file-path> )
- Run md5 <type-in-CM11s-filename>
- The output should match ( i skipped this first and that ended up with a bad download ).
5. Copy those files to the phone storage and the USB stick ( to be used by usb-otg) , just in case.
6. Take backup of your device use Titanium backup if needed.
7. Reboot into recovery mode.
8. On TWRP recovery page ,
- Check the usb-otg is still working on the device and the TWRP is able to detect it and you are able to see the zip file ( CM11s ) that you just copied into it
- First wipe -> Format device -> swipe to confirm
- Second Wipe -> Advance Wipe -> check box everything ( except storage ) -> swipe to confirm.
- Main menu -> Reboot -> Reboot into Recovery ( It might ask during reboot , that do you want to install SuperUser ) -> swipe to confirm.
- Once the phone is rebooted into recovery .
- install zip -> provide the location of zip file -> swipe to confirm.
- Once done , On main menu -> reboot normally ( again might ask to install superuser ) -> swipe to confirm.
- If your phone doesnt turn on normally , then just hit the power button , the boot might take 5 minutes or so for the first time , once done , you have the CM 11s installed ...
Enjoy :laugh::good:

No problem mate.
As regarding the issue:
1. About your recovery being resetted over and over: In developer options are you sure that you had: Update CM recovery unchecked? This can be the case...I just forgot to tell you about it, I'm relatively new to OPO and I am still used to my old GS4 which didn't have such problem!
2. Maybe you formatted internal storage by mistake? If you do advanced wipe and select only cache/dalvik/data/system/ boot it shouldn't have happened.
3. No clue about the partition error, but I'm glad you sorted it out anyways!
Have fun :highfive:

1. I haven't checked that part , i left the app to do its bit , but it seems it might have not .
2. I made sure at least two to three time , that storage was not selected , but it wiped it even after unchecking it.
3. Yup not sure , might be a bad download , since my first download was of the size 473MB and the second ( good one ) was 464MB , so definitely there was a bad files that i downloaded.
Anyways all went well and happy with the new Flash , hopefully Cyanogemod send updates via OTA for the unofficial installation of CM 11s on OPO ...

Hi,
(motorola moto 3rd gen 8 gb 1024ram; updated to 6.0 marshmallow, european phone, bought 02/2016)
I tried te root my phone with this guide: "theunlockr.com/2015/09/09/how-to-root-the-motorola-moto-g-3rd-gen"
I succeded to unlock bootloader, I succeded to flash twrp.
I flashed the superSU zip twice (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip)
--> phone does not start anymore in android. Stuck in first screen.
flashed super SU zip once (BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip) after finding out this one is for marshmallow.
--> does the same.
did factory recet
-->nothing better
did format data
--> nothing better
Now I can start and get in team Win recovery project v2.8.7.0 and the phone connects with pc.
I downloaded already firmware "XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_6.0_MPI24.65-33.1_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC__v2.xml"
How should I progress without doing more damage?
I realy hope someone can help me.
thanx!

Hi there,
You should always make a back up of your current system before messing up with your device. So that you can restore your nandroid if anything goes wrong .
So , to solve your issue ,
1. Download any custom rom from xda for your device and flash that zip using adb sideload. (if you are not able to do this or dont know how to do then go on to step 2)
2. Download stock img for your device and flash it using fastboot.
For further questions , you may try posting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2148591
Good luck.

THx! I'll try to. thx for the advice. Let you know if I succeded.

I succeeded to install the stock image and root my phone. Thx a lot.
Unbrick tool by One-Team - EypCnn
First: This tool seems to be from EypCnn, One-Team. All credits to them!
EDIT2: I no longer own this device, so i will leave this thread here for people to use. But don't expect any direct support from me .
What can this tool do?:
Restore phone to Stock(International) Firmware (S048) Marshmallow (Locked & Unlocked bootloader)
Fix Lost or bad Signal / IMEI any software Problem
For who does this work?
Pretty much any Lenovo P2 Variant (Chinese and International)
Phones which can access bootloader(you have to boot into it)
Works on Locked & Unlocked Bootloader
Installation aka. Flashing-Steps
Put your phone into bootloader (which is also fastboot) mode.
Download the folder and unzip it.
Connect your phone to your pc.
Go into the unzipped folder and open "flashall - stock reco.bat"
Wait, for the process to end, your phone will reboot on its own.! A stock lenovo bootlogo will show up !
You can disconnect your phone cable from pc and plug into a wall charger, just to be safe. Once the lockscreen is showing up, you're done.
If you want to flash Custom Roms:
look below:
WHEN MOVING TO CUSTOM ROMS NOW:
1. Boot to twrp. (Make sure it is pietwrp from telegram or the official 3.2.3 or later version)
2. Select WIPE menu option
3. Select data partition
4. Change file format to f2fs or anyother.
5. Go back to Start Menu of TWRP, choose Reboot Menu Option
6.Reboot to Recovery
7. Repeat Steps 2 and 3
8. This time select EXT4 when changing file format
9. Do Step 5 and 6
10. Wipe System,Cache and Dalvik-Cache partitions
( for older twrp versions: 10.1 If you're on official twrp 3.2.3 or lower, you have to flash pietwrp or latest twrp now !)
11. Flash your Custom Rom, Gapps (optional) and latest Magisk(optional)
12. Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache
13. Reboot. First Boot might take a few minutes but never longer than 7minutes.
If it takes longer, you're encounter a so called bootloop.
Comment hear if that happens, containing information on your twrp-version, rom, gapps, magisk and mods(if present) you're using.
When you corrupt your internal Storage or geht TWRP Error 1001, Error 7:
1. Repeat steps 2-6
2. Repeat steps 7-8

I will help if questions arise.
Credits to One-Team & EypCnn.
Thanks a lot. You literally saved my life!
Works like Magic
Thanks a lot for saving my ass . simplest way to downgrade to mm too. Thanks again
Wait.... downgrade to MM? Does this mean you can regain your signal or did @krishnakoonala get it wrong?
I have a spare P2 lying around that I never used because the IMEI got corrupted and I couldn't flash the bootloader files since I was unlocked.
I assume this wouldn't solve my issue?

My p2 was bricked and , stuck in boot loop. I followed the above instructions, 10 mins into it , it booted with mm version, the same version when i bought and booted for 1st time. It was like a new phone to me.
So i assume if one has upgraded to noughat and want to downgrade but is worried he might brick his device, one can take a back up and try this tool. It works flawless.
No harm in trying this one if ur p2 can boot up mate. Give it a shot. Good luck
Cheers
This tool has saved my device from multiple over a span of two years soft bricks. Can confirm it to do wonders.

It flashed everything you have when you buy a new phone. And no, it doesn't lock your bootloader.
So you can either :
- keep using MM Stock Rom S048
- Update via ota in System like you normally would do.
- Update till latest Firmware, then flash twrp- and then Custom Rom of your Choice.
Bootloader is in the same state it was before you used this tool.

I literally just answered it above somewhere.
(Literally in thread description)
You can flash it on unlocked bootloader or locked as well.
So many thanks for bringing up tis tool for us!

Download source
Thanks guys, if this works I can now revive my phone. But can someone please upload the tool to another place like google drive. From android filehost it will take an eternity to download!

Nah you need a Computer for this.

If you used some other tool for imei. You are pretty much done for.
Using this tool i can go to MM version and can upgrade to S251. However after installing twrp and flashing custom rom, it goes to bootloader
