How To Root Gionee F103 and Install TWRP Recovey in Marshmallow (Android 6.0).

Dear Gionee F103 Users,
Today, I want to share guide for new users (you) about unlocking bootloader, Custom Rom flashing, flash recovery and more .
Note
Rooting, flashing custom rom will void your phone warranty.
This all below methods are only tested Gionee F103 , don’t try it on any other model.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about flashing ROMs or any other doubts!
Follow the steps correctly otherwise you may brick your device. We are not responsible for any damage of your phone.
It will erase all your personal data including data of internal storage, so we advise you first to take a complete backup of your phone and then proceed.
Ensure that your phone has at least 50-60% charged to prevent the accidental shutdown in-between the process.
P.S. But you can always get warranty back by flashing stock ROM.

Twrp is only for f103
If you are using f103 pro then this is not for you ,I have also tried ......

Please i need help.
I recently upgraded/flashed stock rom from amigo 5.0.2 to amigo 6.0 and everything is working except that the baseband became unknown, IMEI null, sim cards not detected, wifi mac address changed to 02:00:00:00:00:00. After a lot of googling I learnt that my NVRAM partition was what contained those data and it was wiped during the flashing process and I already deleted most of my backups (including My NVRAM backup made via adb) to free space on my pc (I didn't notice the problem on time).
Please can someone share a backup of NVram and NVdata for gionee f103m (whether adb, mtk droid, miracle box, sp flash tool, just any one that is available please).
Thanks in advance

Upgrading Honor 4C to Marshmallow

Hi Currently I am having Honor 4c with Kitkat 4.4.2 (V100R001C636B160) version I wanted to Upgrade my android version to Marshmallow(CHM-U01C432B560) or any other custom ROM. I have unlocked my device bootloader and installed CWM recovery following the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/honor-4c-root-cwm-recovery-inshaalmirza-t3177770 was able to install CWM but I wanted to install TWRP and followed the guide by @HassanMirza01 but wasnt success to install TWRP , if I am trying to flash Marshmallow ROM using CWM or by flashing IMG files using ADB I am not able to do it. Every Time I try to flash a ROM from CWM I am getting error and while flashing IMG files using ADB the screen is being struck at boot logo.Can anyone guide me how to replace CWM with TWRP so that I can Install Marshmallow (every time while I am trying to flash TWRP it is being struck at boot logo and had to flash stock ROM to recover the phone) and install marshmallow.
Note: Initially I upgraded to Lollipop as the version was not stable and Buggy I reverted to stock version using the official guide.

You can try this TWRP https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4c/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-huawei-honor-4c-t3349495 or some version of TWRP for honor 4x or p8lite. And then you can try to flash stock firmare using this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-4x/how-to/install-emui-4-1-4x-4c-g-play-g-play-t3515702. You might need to be in lollipop or marshmallow to use it.

Hi @keikari thanks for the reply, that is the case where I am facing the problem Neither I can install Twrp 3.0.1-0 (r1,2,3,4) variants nor lollipop or marshmallow update .I am struck with stock Rom tried more than 15 to 20 times . Can you provide any alternative solutions.

What error did fastboot gave you when you tried to flash TWRP?

No error given but after flashing twrp device is struck at boot screen and can't move to next screen cwm flashing works fine .
Is it mandatory to have lollipop or marshmallow update to flash twrp?

I don't know how things really work or why they need stuff to work. But in TWRP thread it says for android 5.1.1 - 6.0. So I guess it's important to have some of those versions.

Is there any other way to flash lollipop or marshmallow from cwm? I even extracted update.app and flashed recovery, system , boot images individually but it also doesn't work struck at boot screen. Can I fully wipe system files from phone and re-flash lollipop or marshmallow update. Similar to full format of a PC.

No idea will that work, but one thing that comes to mind is to flash those images you did and then put UPDATE.APP in your sd card in folder named dload and do force upgrade ( power + vol up + vol down ).

Tried that too but no success. I think the problem occurred while downgrading to kitkat from lollipop maybe it corrupted the boot system. Even that is the case while flashing and wiping cache so many times it might have showed error in any of the instances but it didn't. Can't find out what actually preventing system to update.

On most android devices, you can't apply stock OTA updates on rooted devices or devices that have TWRP installed, stock updates require an unmodified system partition(meaning no root) and must have stock recovery because stock recovery is what actually flashes the update, TWRP cannot flash stock updates.
Do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your model number)"
Or, you can try restoring a nandroid backup of your stock ROM if you ever created one in TWRP at any time before the update. Or you can try flashing a custom ROM for your specific device via TWRP.

Error status 7 occurs when what you are trying to flash is not built for your specific model number or if you're trying to flash a custom ROM via stock recovery or if you're trying to flash a stock update.zip via custom recovery.
It has to be for your specific model number
Are you certain that you successfully flashed TWRP and are you certain that you're booted into TWRP instead of stock recovery?

Yes , i successfully flashed twrp and i also booted into it . But it was a older version 3.3-0 (cofface) and was unofficial and was installed via a twrp installer package . And i rom i was trying to flash was also correct . I also tried it with Lineage OS and it was the same .Then downloaded the Miui stable rom and flashed it and was successful . But before booting it said "No OS installed" , so i tried having a backup and when i did my device got Bricked .

CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR GIONEE F205, MT6739 CHIPSET

Hi,
I can't seem to find any custom recovery for gionee f205 with mt6739 chipset. So I tried porting similar mt6739 unofficial twrp img but it is also not working. Any custom recovery would be alright. Please help

You has experience flashing Custom Recoveries?
Share all specs from your device and let me know how you tried Porting.
Maybe need this? Gionee F205 / F205 Pro DA & Auth

Thanks, I have zero experience and have only started. I have already ported the custom recovery to my device using carliv image kitchen tool from here. The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as I have been searching for a week for a custom ROM(Oreo or later) to flash for my gionee F205(nougat) and can't find one. I have started trying to port the stock ROM of GIONEE F205 PRO which is Oreo and also treble enabled. Both have little differences but the same chipset(MT6739). But as of now nothing has worked. Could you help with that?
Or is there any custom ROM I can flash? Can I port from this non-treble device to an treble enabled ROM.
Also I tried Flashing the Stock rom of F205 pro excluding the Preloader using SP Flash Tools. But it return a error "PMT changed for ROM, it must be downloaded". So I tried to format except the bootloader and it too returns an error "ERROR : STATUS_SEC_WRITE_DATA_NOT_ALLOWED(0XC002000C).

You not need Custom ROM to test Custom Recovery. Now you need confirm that your file work good as you confusing here: "The TWRP custom recovery is working perfectly but I can't confirm it as.."
If you know that your TWRP work "perfectly" so the "issue" SOLVED. LOL
About Custom ROMs MT6739 stock Nougat:
I did a quick search in some places I know and the news is not good. I didn't really see any custom ROM for MT6739 with Nougat kernel.
Without a kernel upgraded to Android 8.1 you will not have much chance of installing the GSI ROM.
It is not just installing the stock ROM of another similar device or of the same company! It is about something that will take time and may have many errors to correct because companies that sell MTK devices do not provide all Source Code files to make a new kernel. So you can usually even ask someone with experience to do something, but without the full Source Code, then the chances are -100%.
So you can even have a Custom ROM from another MT6739 as long as it is with the Nougat kernel. Obviously there will be items to be solved for your device or suddenly not. As I have not seen any MT6739 Nougat with Custom ROM, then I cannot help further in this context.
If I had an MT6739 with Nougat then I would look at some MT6737 with Nougat because there are a lot of Custom ROMs for these. But remember that the MT6739 can have 32 bits (arm) or 64 bits (arm64) and that will influence something.
I myself have a 64-bit Nougat MT6737T that has RRMix Oreo 8.1 and works great!
So everything will depend on you and your time to do the PORT and the necessary tests because it will be a learning experience for yourself!
Good Lucky!
