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?
Thanks

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,
I have a 5" android tablet recently acquired through Amazon, and it appears to be completely brandless, so I have no idea who made it.
I rooted the device and changed the bootloader image using the app "Boot animations". It booted, then loaded the animation and gets stuck there. it cycles through this three times before giving up and booting into recovery. Once in recovery I have no way of selecting any option other than "Reboot system now" as the only hardware button on the device is the power button. there are no volume, home or menu buttons of any sort.
There is a reset button on the back which simply takes the slightest click and it reboots the device. neither this, the power button, or any sequence of the two together provide me with anything other than a reboot.
I Then tried installing SDK with platform-tools and the usb driver, I also downloaded the generic android usb driver from google, and i've tried running ADB to no avail, neither of them will see the device, and device manager does not show the device under "Other", it simply displays it as a mass storage device briefly while it runs through the attempted boot sequence before entering recovery where it no longer appears in device manager.
I have a new 64gb SD card for it which i have done nothing with, I'm hoping that maybe there's a way of using it given i have no hardware buttons?
Does anyone have any idea of how I can factory reset this device?
I'm desperate here and have researched every forum google has thrown at me over the last two weeks.
Many thanks
Jody
hello @jody-michael
I don't know if there is a way to fix the problem.
Please see this post. If there is adequate time to change the boot animation file bwfore the device reboots, maybe it can help you.
Are there details of the device model under its battery?
Have a great day
Hello @yairku
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I stupidly didn't turn usb debugging on, so when it does briefly show up as mass storage, I can't actually access the storage, so can't access or change the bootloader files.
The other issue is its a sealed unit so I can't access the battery either. If anything I could do with some kind of clever windows app that can see the device and run a factory reset bypassing the debugging mode as it's not activated.
Hi @jody-michael
If the device has an mtk chipset, it might be possible to use sp flash tool to get the firmware from the device, edit it and flash it.
To use sp flash tool, a scatter file is needed.
I found this tutorial that shows how to create a scatter file.
I hope that It will be possible to replace the boot animation that causes the problem, with a good one.
If you are willing to try to create the scatter file, please let me know and I might be able to help you with it. I understand the steps of the tutorial.
Good day
There should be written something on the back of the tablet. Something more than just a serial. try to post a photograph. Once the device is identified, look for a ROM in an update.zip format. Copy the update.zip into the root directory of a sd card, turn device off, apply sd card and turn the device on. Hopefully, it will discover the update on the sd card and install it.
Best wishes...
Unfortunately sp flash tool doesn't see the device either. I've persisted with driver installs etc. I haven't been able to get the existing scatter file read or figure out where to get one for my device.

Thanks JoachimP,
I like this idea, however I don't know what rom to use. As you can see in the attached images, there's no indication of manufacturer name, model, serial or anything. All I have is its a 5 inch brick right now

Hi, look at your 1st picture: CIOtCUD is the hint to the topic you should google for. Look at http://www.mastfun4u.com/2015/09/find-all-china-tablet-flashing-file.html, maybe this is helpful.

Many have faced this problem while using a new phone (Lollipop, Marshmallow and later) with MTKDroid Tools.
Here is the issue - MTKDROID ships with an older version of ADB. (The program hasn't been updated for a few years but it still works.)
This ADB cannot recognize the newer phones. So the obvious solution is to replace the older adb.exe from the 'adb' folder of MTKDroid Tools. But MTKDroid recognizes this and refuses to start, showing us the 'It is impossible to start ADB' error.
I have made a workaround which starts MTKDroid with the older adb and immediately when it finds everything to be OK, replaces it with a newer one. It worked for me. So I hope it will for you too.
Download the zip in attachment.
Instructions.
Goto your MTKDroid/adb folder and delete everything in it.
Open the zip file you have downloaded with winrar or 7zip or anything.
Inside the zip file, there will be 8 files. Copy all these files to the adb folder.
Now you can double click StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat and press enter to start MTKDroid Tools. A few black console windows will come and ask you to wait 10 seconds (this is to make sure MTKDroid is loaded completely), wait and don't worry it will close itself when the work is done.
There you go problem fixed and MTKDroid is ready for your command!
NOTE: This fix will help you to start MTKDroidTools and use it to create a scatter file for flashing and backup purposes with SPFlash tool. From what I learned, you can't use this to root your phone unless you enable the temporary root shell from Engineering Mode.
To do that, open your phone dialer, dial *#*#3646633#*#* .
Swipe left to reach Log and Debugging section, there select user2root, in it enable root shell and now connect your phone using the above method.
This method is not guaranteed to work on every phones out there and I still recommend flashing SuperSU the old fashioned way.
Please reply back with any of your troubles or suggestions.
Hi, Thank you for posting this I was disappointed when the tool did not work. But thanks to you it's working now and I can do my surgery xD

I hope it lives.. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks so much, Adithya! This was a life-saver. I had spent over a day trying to get MTKDroidTools to work and only now found your post!
I have a new Nook tablet (BNTV450). This runs Marshmallow and the adb v31 included with MTKDroidTools 2.5.0 could not connect with it, as you reported. (BTW, I'm using 2.5.0 because 2.5.1-2.5.3 have a malware built in. androidmtk.com says not to worry about the malware (!) but my anti-virus reports it as w32.malware.heur which is quite serious. Anyway, these later versions of MTKDroidTools also use adb v31.)
I did need to make one small change due to a race condition: I added a 2 second delay between the call to run startup.bat and the call to run MTKDroidTools. So this section of StartMTKDROIDTOOLS.bat now reads:
start Startup.bat
timeout 2
cd..
start MTKdroidTools.exe
Without this on my Windows 10 PC, MTKDroidTools starts too quickly and picks up the newer version of adb even though startup.bat had just replaced it. The 2 second delay allows MTKDroidTools to find the old version reliably.
So thanks again for this! Really helpful!
Best,
Dennis

You're welcome.
I have included the changes you suggested.
Also I found this on stackoverflow which might help on w32.mal.heur detections.
W32 is the platform: Windows 32
Malware is the Category
Heur (Heuristic) might refer to what usually is the family or might be some specific naming of your AV
The heuristic term usually refers to detections based on generic signatures which look suspicious.
That detection looks very generic and might be a false positive.

Since the nature of the tool is indeed a hack itself your AV might be showing a false positive.
Still it's all up to you to decide.
All the very best.
Post updated.
Added a 2 sec delay to call MTKDroidTools. (Thanks @DMcRitchie)
Added a guide on rooting.
This doesn't work for me. I used to Only get the phone not recognized error now, after copying over the 8 new files to my now empty ADB folder, I get the error that says Impossible to start ADB.
I'm using a Figo Atrium upgraded from Lollipop to Mashmallow using the SP Flash Tool. All I'm trying to do now it root the device, I don't need a custom rom. Using MTK Droid Tools version 2.5.3
Edit: Fixed it. I had to turn off then back on UBS Debugging, simply revoking the USB did not work. It's seeing my device now but says it can't root my device and sends me to an html page with lots more instructions. The tool tells me my device can be rooted this way. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38337401&postcount=5 Grrr.. time to spend days jumping through more hoops.

This was supposed to fix the 'impossible to start error'. You shouldn't have used it if you were not facing that issue.
Don't worry you can just redownload MTK Droid Tools to fix that.
As for rooting, MTK Droid Tools CAN NOT ROOT phones newer than kitkat. Your best bet is to flash a custom recovery and flashing super su.
This guide is for those people who can't use SP Flash Tools because they need a scatter file which MTK Droid Tools can't make for newer androids.
All the best.
Thanks.
You gave me the most detailed answer so far. I got the info to use MTK Droid Tools from a website claiming it will work for Android 6.0 Marshmallow. That's why I tried it. If you are very knowledgeable about rooting in general, perhaps you'll answer my other thread asking someone to help me understand these things better. it seems according to you, i would be able to flash a new rom and SuperSU? See my other post and answer there. https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/guru-to-discuss-rooting-t3683594 - I did try the folks at the SuperSU sub forum and they cant help me.
When i connect Infinix Note 4 Pro X571 (bricked) to pc for Mtk to detect, it just boots to recovery mode (twrp)
tried using Maui Meta, it automatically installed vcom drivers then it said "it cannot find Kernal USB comport for AP and Modem handshake. Please check the usb driver version or find the driver owner to check"
thank you so much!! it works

Great fix but I still have a problem, I only have the hardware and baseband detected nothing else, so I can not save.
An idea ?
