I found a website that offers stock firmware for all gionee phones. "Firmware file. Com". They offered my 3 version of stock firmware. I downloaded the latest one, but after flashing, in the root folder I saw some files that weren't previously in the phone. My phone is MT6595, but I found files for MT6795. Now I have a doubt that the rom is tampered by someone. Could it be? Why won't gionee provide link to download rom from their official website?

Before the recent 4.4.4 update I had to return to stock, and update. All went fine. But now, after a while I have returned to root, custom recovery etc.
Now, as we are expecting lollipop I am wondering is there anyone rooted with stock 4.4.4 (System version: 210.12.61.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US / Build number KXB21.14-L1.61) recovery. Not recovery from some other 4.4.4 rom (there are differences), but this rom. I would like to get a hang of that img file, so if anyone is there, please post it here...
On this webpage http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14 i don't see the retail us 4.4.4 firmware and there is also no new firmware in http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27 folder. Is there any other location to consider?
The recovery is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50355724
Thanks for the info, and one question more: is this the recovery you are talking about?
RETAIL_XT1032_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.61_cid9_CFC.xml.zip
i don't know what this cid9 is all about and i'm afraid i could brick my phone...
The download is smaller in the thread I linked to, but that zip also contains the recovery.img
I have checked both recovery.img from your post and from that zip, and they are not the same. Maybe they do work the same, but nonetheless... Thanks for the heads-up
After flashing phone witch generic no branded firmwere 4.4.4 phone doesn't finds update. What do I need to do?
Try to download the original firmware for your phone using the Xperia Firmware Downloader:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/
Just select your phone model number and the brand, then click in the right side the firmware version.
Later use flashtools to pack the firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/development/noobs-guide-create-stock-firmware-ftf-t2188129
(Go to step 3)
And flash the new ftf file with flashtool too.
Sometimes the best way is to download the firmwares manually from the forum and flash it, because some brands don't give the latest firmware to our phones (like mine). With this way, you will have the latest firmware, rooted and with dual recovery just flashing the zip file, but first you have to prepare your phone:
Use this guide to flash the latest rootable firmware, root that firmware and install the recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/guide-rootrecovery-how-to-root-install-t3017056
then go to development section and download the latest firmware for your phone. Download a preroorted with recovery version to allow the manually updates later:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/development/
Even you can use some custom Roms like Existenz.
Greetings and sorry for my english.

I was initially on 3's S056_UK firmware. Then I flashed S062_ROW over it, no issues so far. I think flashing the S232 over the S062 won't lead to any problems as well. I suggest first to move to S062 as there is no OTA for S056 to S232. Then flash the OTA. Of course you can also do a clean Nougat install if you wish. This is if you go for the twrp version which I prefer.
The link in this thread is for the fastboot version, so you can full wipe your current rom and install this perfectly fine.
The zip on that site is taken from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p2/development/7-0-lenovo-p2a42-stock-nougat-update-t3581517
Even the first method is wrong because this zip is for recovery.Method 2 is correct.
Can someone provide me with a twrp restore file? I tried to flash the stock rom but the bat file that came with it tampered with some files and I can't even boot into the stock rom
Had to restore my phone earlier today and was able to grab the KDZ file for the latest nougat update for the LG-M470 model. Roaming around noticed some people had said the original file/firmware wasn't out yet but I guess they are now.
Download for anyone who wants it:

Thanks techboy11 for the kdz file. Do you or anyone know how to extract the stock recovery from this? I would like to apply the OTA security updates, but it only works with the stock recovery and I currently have the TWRP recovery.
Thanks,
Johnny
