So all credits for this Tutorial goes to Dean of appsapkmirror.com.
Note: Before proceeding please enable USB-Debugging option
Now here is the Tutorial for Flashing Custom Recovery on MI3/MI4:
1) You need to have a Developer Rom installed on your phone.
for that download the Developer Rom from the links below. Flash it using the Updater option in your phone and select the update package.
2) After you have installed the Developer Rom you need to have custom recovery for that what you need to do the following:
Download the CWM Recovery from the links below and extract the .zip file.
Download and install the [ROOT] Rashr – Flash Tool apk file from below and install it.
After that Go to the Security app and provide Root permission to the Rashr – Flash Tool application.
Now open the Rashr- Flash Tool and grant Root Permissions asked.
After that choose “Recovery from Storage” and select the file recovery.img from the .zip you extracted earlier and flash that file.
3) That’s it now you have CWM Recovery installed as your recovery.Now you can flash any Rom you want.

Thanks Alberto, i managed to build a TWRP and a CTR recovery for U300.
Unfortunately TWRP have no working touch because of a kernel issue, but you can use OTG mouse to work on this... Later i will try with latest 3.03 rom and share with community. Regards

System.IMG Repack
In order to customized my UHANS U300, I already unpack and repack my System.IMG with various software, tools, script, Cygwin, android kitchen, Assayed Kitchen and also through Linux Mint and Lubuntu... but my phone stuck during boot. (Only display boot image from logo.bin). I believe my repack System.IMG's size was correct but the phone still stuck, and checksum failed. (I disable checksum by change switch from "1" to "0".
Can anybody help me, how to get rid of these?
Thanks in advance guys.

I bought it off ebay cheap (for £35) even though it's almost £200 on gearbest etc. I don't think people would want to clone this phone but wondered how it could be that cheap. My kernel version: 3.18.22 is this the latest update for the phone? I did a factory reset since when I got it it was already set up (even though sold as new) I could see an after-image of the Chinese seller so wanted to be safe rather than sorry. Hope someone can help in getting the most out of this phone/remove bloatware etc and how to check everything's ok?
Also any way to upgrade Android?

[MT6580][Install] Philz Recovery and Root Gionee Pioneer P5W

As per thread title we are able to root our GioneeP5W and Install Philz Recovery which is CWM Based.​Recovery : Philz CWM-based Recovery v6.0.5.1​
Few things to be noted here :​- This guide is only meant for GioneeP5W
- The zip contain GioneeP5W firmware files
- Flashing on another device may cause Bootloop or Hardbrick​
About :​This is the Philz Recovery CWM Based Developed by Havotek. The original recovery is in *.bin format unpacking such type of format is a bit tedious task. So i some how able to extract recovery from my device(Without Root) in *.img format. The recovery you are going to use in your Gionee P5W is edited by me and is Sp flash tool flashable due to image extention. If you want to flash *.bin format files into your device use Mircale Toolbox. This recovery is modified and after flashing it with Sp Flash tool you have to Root your device in a single instance (after flashing recovery, reboot into recovery and Install SuperSU.zip). This new recovery root your device and does not interfere with System Security against Root. This means after Rooting, device still thinks that it is Unrooted and Secure. System doesn't warn you against root and doesn't provide an OTA Update repair. It doesn't break normal OTA Update functionality. In System Manager app you can see their is no RED Tringale icon which holds "Rooted" Text inside it. For more info check Screencaptures, attached below:silly:.​

Hello @Alberto96
What method did you use to root the doogee mix lite ?
Thank you

TWRP did not work for me, phone won't complete the boot process.
flashing the stock recovery back on and running a root integrity check gave:
Error:/system/priv-app/twrpapp/me.twrp.twrpapp.apk is new it is created on Fri Jan 1 00:36:33 2010
Error:/system/recovery-from-boot.bak is new it is created on Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 2008

Boot loop problem and failed flashing
I have Mix Lite. I had boot stuck problem. I made user data backup in recovery mode and then factory reset, but no success
When I connect phone to PC, device manager shows connected MediaTek USB Port and then disconnected and connected MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM, this is repeating in loop. I am not pressing any button on phone.
I flashed phone with official ROM. SP Flash Tool show Download ok, but phone does not turn on or show battery when connected to charger.
What can be wrong?
Also i wanted to restore data backup on another Mix Lite, but it shows: The backuped file is out of date. Backup files are ending with .backup, .backup1, .backup2, ... Can I extract pictures from these files?

[Guide & Download Links] UHANS A101S TWRP & Custom ROM

Hello,
I have successfully installed TWRP and a custom ROM on a UHANS A101S. And now I want to share the files and instructions, because they come from Russian forum 4pda.ru (thanks and credits to them).
Warning: I do not take any responsibility for whatever outcome you have when trying this on your device. It worked for me, but everything you do is your own risk.
Now, here's how it worked for me:
(Instructions are for UHANS A101S only, NOT for A101)
Installation of TWRP:
1. Download TWRP recovery image for UHANS A101S. Check that you get the correct recovery.img for your firmware build. Also download the scatter file for the UHANS A101S.
2. Download SP Flash Tool and driver for UHANS A101S.
3. Install driver on your PC and reboot your PC.
4. Unpack SP Flash Tool. Unpack scatter file. Put scatter file in same folder as recovery.img file.
5. On your phone, enable USB debugging mode in developer settings. (To activate developer settings menu, tap 7 times on your build number in Settings > About).
6. Switch off phone. Remove battery. Wait for 10 seconds. Put battery back into your phone, but don't start it! Keep it switched off.
7. Start SP Flash Tool with Admin permission. Click "scatter-loading" and navigate to the folder where you unpacked the scatter file and select it. Make sure that "Download Only" is selected in drop-down menu on the left. Then click the "Download" button in SP Flash Tool.
8. Connect your phone to the USB port of your PC and press Volume Up on your phone, so SP Flash Tool will recognize it.
9. If everything goes fine, in SP Flash Tool a red progress bar at the bottom turns yellow, then green and finally you get a pop-up with a green check mark.
10. Now you can boot into TWRP. To do so, unplug phone from PC and press Power On and Volume Up simultaneously.
Download links for installing custom recovery TWRP for UHANS A101S:
Download from Mediafire
(For the recovery.img file, choose DRV.TEST version if you see this appendix in your firmware version. Otherwise, option v3.05 is correct).
If you want to restore stock recovery, recovery image from firmware version 3.05 is available too.
To install custom ROM, download your preferred ROM, copy it to your phone and flash from within TWRP.
Custom ROMs for UHANS A101S:
CLEAN MOD (Stock ROM without bloat)
MOKEE ROM (Gapps: no, root: no)
Resurrection Remix 5.7.4 (Gapps: no, root: yes)
To get Google Play store, flash Gapps package.
Download Gapps package here (choose ARM and Android 6.0):
http://opengapps.org
(Pico or Nano package recommended).
If you want root access and if it's not included in the ROM, you can flash SuperSU Zip using TWRP:
SR2-SuperSU-v2.79-SR2-20170103215521.zip
Stock ROM from UHANS (via SP Flash Tool):

A new custom rom
Hey guy! Thanks for your ROMs, I have Uhans A101S and they worked properly but I wanted to try something else with a google stock experience and so I wanna ask you if you can create another custom ROM (like lineage os) for this device.
Thanks a lot!
