guys I bought 2 gionee p4 today and wen I checked d android version I saw 4.4.2, I was surprised because wen i bought a month ago,it was 4.2.What happened?

Oklander:
Alright thanks.

I want to start the tweaking now, I know some of the things I need are already provided here long ago. Please help with the links that would get me the following;
1. A root app that would root this phone without pc, would frameroot work?
2. Recovery tool for P4.
3. CTR or CWM for p4.

…Thanks in adv.

Root app

Recovery tools
Check play store for an app called rashr [root]

Recovery image check previous page page 79-80

Oklander:


Thanks… Read here someone bricked his p4 in trying to do CWM or CTR, so since this isn't really mine I wouldn't wanna risk it.

My question now is, with recovery tools and root access only hope I can change imei successfully?

Blackchampion:

BeastMaster:
BeastMaster nearly bought this phone yesterday but later got seduced by the much better Gionee Elife E7 and ended up buying it instead. All the same Gionee P4 is a super gaming device. BeastMaster gives it 2 thumbs up.

nani667:


Snapdragon 800, 3GB RAM..... Nice..... ✔

How much did you get it....?

BeastMaster:


BeastMaster bought Gionee Elife E7 mini at 46K. It has an HD resolution, has an 1.7 Ghz octacore processing power, 1Gig Ram, 13 megapixel camera, no secondary camera, 4.7 inch screen. Bottom line: E7 mini is a beast of a phone.

Somebody help, a bro just got this phone but its refusing to browse with glo while etislat works fine, the default glo setting is glosecure. I have tried gloflat settings but doesn't work either, both settings shows 3G or E on th4 phone but doesn't just brows, and the glo line brows well on other phones.

swisscarter:

My P4 is using kitkat.

It was unsuccessful with root genius.

But finally I tried kingroot and it works like magic. Very smooth and fast.
For those on kitkat please get it here.
