Gbengard:
Hello everyone, I downloaded the latest firmware (T6147) version.

I tried to flash the phone but I encounter problem when the flashing stopped at 83% displaying "error debug" or something. I started it over again, but it couldn't detect my phone.

As at the time am typing this, my phone is stucked at "Gionee powered by Android".

Gurus in the house, please help me out.

Thanks in anticipation.
I think that's what they call soft Brick. Google how to fix soft bricked Gionee phones.

Hi guys! I just downloaded 6184 and I need a little help.

I flash it with SP Flash tool... I get that part.

Is there any need to use the SN Write tool to fix the IMEI afterwards?

And do I need to root it again?

Thanks!
No need to use SN write tool Cos the IMEI numbers are already there. Dial *#06# to confirm and you'll need to root again after flashing a Stock ROM cos you'll lose your root access.

Security report? Seems logical! Owing that there's no trace of the msg. Let's be on the look out sha
And no Antivirus could track it.

I haven't seen any msg being sent without my consent since downloading 360. I'm still observing. I think it's cuz I don't have airtime cheesy
grin grin grin OK. I've downloaded it too shah. And I changed my default messaging app to True Messenger. Someone actually told me that the phone is sending security report in case it was stolen. I noticed I couldn't login to my phone when I first did the firmware update. I had to use WiFi network and Google said I must login with the previous email that was used on the phone.

I had similar issue on my phone only to later realize the message was being sent remotely by an app on my phone. typically, apps programmed to report or lately stolen phone send such messages. in my own case, it was my Avast anti-theft app. in other instances such programmes are preinstalled in the phone user interface. it's left for you to identify the app, disable, force stop or uninstall it depending on the situation.
bon chance
This explains it all. When I first bought the phone, I didnt used network to set it for the first time, but any time I installed a new updates via SP flash tool, google won't give me access to the device unless I log into it with my email that was previously used to access the device. And when I called GLO, they told me the number was not showing on their side that it was just a name and the name is USA 1. Thanks for your feedback. Really appreciate it. I wasnt using anti virus until it started so it will be hard to trace it. I'm even thinking its the messaging app it self.

Hawlahscho:
I already have root access.
Can I still do it?
Will I lose the root access?
Yeah. I lost mine when I did it. Didn't bother to root again coz I can do everything I need for now without root. But try to download su super root from play store and use it to unroot your device first. I think it's safer that way.

Wait o, my own version is 5338, I'm rooted, a heavy user and I dont really have any complaint. No device can be 100% perfect of course, the only issue I have is moving of apps to SD card and accessing obb game files from SD card, can d firmwares you people are downloading do it?
Yeah. It can but I've noticed something ever since I started using the firmware, I get charges alert for SMS sent without sending any SMS. I'm not the only one using the firmware but I seems to be the only one complaining about that. Other than that, the Firmware is perfect and apps can be moved to SD card.

You have 2 options to put an end to this malfunction:

1. Flash Custom ROM on the phone.
2. Change your SMS Centre number to a wrong one. However, in that case, both intended (original message) by you and the automated message will seize to go.

I supposed you know how to do that.
Have any questions? Let me know.
I've thought about that too but will I be able to receive sms if I should do that?

All this talk of tweak this tweak that, flash this firmware or that buildprop. So does it mean that if i just buy this phone i cant enjoy it just like that? Becos not all of us are technicians and i cant risk bricking the phone because this money is hard earned. You pple should just be honest before i buy it on monday, or if there is any one in abuja that can assist me in all these flashing stuff.
You will enjoy your phone battery well.. My bro has been enjoying his own without any updates. The people talking about updates are those that wants to customize their phones and be able to move apps to SD card

@fabolakers

I just installed 360 Privacy Antivirus. It found out 3 apps that could be causing the sms-sending. I had them blocked and now waiting for result.

Get the app on Playstore
Wait oh. Are you also going through the same problem with me? That's the sms charges without you sending any sms. And I have 360 self. I don try all antivirus. None dey see am. 360, kaspersky, lookout, bit defender, CM Security, name it. I'm thinking the virus is stored to the default messaging app so anti virus might have a trust for all those apps and not check den during the scan. Lol

Your version is 5338. Yours is even lower than the other guy that was complaining. You need the update too.. Back up your apps and media files. I normal use ES file explorer to back up my apk files so I won't have to download dem all over from playstore.

I've been using my phone for 2hrs+ now with screen sleep time on" unlimited", Blasted Modern Combat 5 on 3G, played 2048, and currently downloading Real Racing 3(1.7GB+) and my phone is JUST warm.

I also have to say, do yourself a favor and flash in the latest firmware.

Modified:....and 9mins later, 1% dropped!! Awesome device!!
Exactly what I told him to do. Phones are being updated for a reason and its to fix bugs from previous version.

That's the screenshot of my "about phone"!

What do u hv to say?
I can see that you're using old build. If you can do the update, I will advice you to do that and start all over. Just move only your media files from the old device to the new one. You'll have to make a backup of course.
Check my screen shot.. The first one was my old updated firmware and the second one is the latest one that I'm using which is Version 6184. Yours is still V5588 which is even lower than my last update.

Yeah I noticed it yesterday. #15 went out cuz of a msg I know nothing about.

Lemme check the messaging script in this firmware..I never observed such on the follow come rom
How are you checking it cos I need to check mine too. I changed my default message app to true messaging yesterday so I'm still observing it. I just don't know where I got the virus from cos others here are using the Indian ROM and they're not complaining about it. Even after installing the latest firmware of the INDIAN ROM, it was still happening. I had to reduced my installing of apps from outside source. grin

Eeyah sorry. Now I have one question, does it ever work when you're not connected to the internet? If not maybe you can install an internet firewall app like norootfirewall and use it to enable only certain apps from connecting to the internet
All the times I've noticed it, my internet is always on. Thanks for this info. Will try it after the experiments I'm on. I installed True messenger last night and made it my default message so I'm still observing it for now. One other thing I noticed is that my message app normally crashes for no reason. Thanks for your reply so far. I really appreciate.
