Does people that tested it should drop their testimony and experience na. @Hovatekk just drop the procedures here or in ur forum and post the link here, simple and short.

Those dropping their numbers here are for other phones, not those we listed.
As for the images, we can't drop till they're tested with proof (pictures), besides, we still need to extract additional info and this happens during testing.
We have all the firmware but not all the devices to test first hand, that's where testers come into the equation

You guys aren't reading the title of the thread!

slimim101:

For Gionee M5? We did a long time ago. For X600, it's yet to be released but has been ported.

AKAMS1:

We already dropped the TWRP image we ported and the rooting guide.

Drop your whatsapp number.
You need to have and know how to use SP flash tool and ADB

We've dropped the rooting guide

Donpre:
sorry, I know this is become kinda inconvenient to you... but can you please just post the entire procedures to get the files, and your email... I know my way around android so it would be a breeze getting the required files. Then I'll send the files to you when I'm done

God bless you boss, we(on behalf of all m3 mini users) would be really grateful

Unfortunately, the tools don't support the chipset @ the moment so getting the firmware is the best bet. We're working on getting the firmware and porting TWRP and making root possible. Be rest assured that we're committed to doing this for Gionee M3 mini users

Donpre:
then how please

The firmware

Donpre:
okay I'll rally up and get the files... MTK droid tools can get them ryt?

No

Donpre:
boss any show on Gionee m3 mini request

We've not received the necessary files

We'll drop the TWRP recovery image and rooting guide soon

Ameboperoo:
How can one send that?

Send us an email

madjnr:
sir what about gionee m3 mini

No Gionee M3 Mini user has sent the recovery.img, boot.img and scatter file for TWRP porting.

We'll drop the TWRP recovery image and rooting guide soon.

TechRez:
Why is Android So Popular in Nigeria?

In the space of less than 5 years, the popularity of Android phones in Nigeria skyrocketed thanks to the efforts of Tecno. The campaign to turn Nigeria from a feature phone country was mainly spearheaded by Tecno with the M3 and P3 devices. Tecno made it easy to buy Android phones unlike the times when Samsung was the major distributor of Android in the Nigerian market. Then, Android was regarded as a luxury item to be used by only wealthy people.

Then came Tecno and their M3 and P3 devices. The so called luxury items could now be bought by every Tom, Dick, Harry with a few thousand Nairas to spend. Android was suddenly now available to the poor man. They no longer cost an arm and a leg to acquire.

The reason though that Android grew so much in such a short space of time was the innovative “touchscreen”. Before then, Nigerians were only used to standard feature phones such as the Nokia C3 which sported T9 buttons and a non-touch screen running the extremely outdated Java ME OS. While the rest of the world was enjoying the benefits of Android and iOS, Nigerians were stuck on Java ME unless they had excess money to splash on Samsung phones.

The advent of Tecno in Nigeria was the event that changed all that. Nigerians were being offered Android with (although low end) usable hardware for an incredibly cheap price. These new Tecno phones didn’t sport the latest SnapDragon processors or the crispiest HD screens but were nonetheless readily accepted by Nigerians. Slowly but steadily, Tecno increased their portfolio of devices to appeal to other demographics such as the gaming fanatics by producing stronger devices with beefed up specs. These devices such as the Tecno R7 were proof that you didn’t need to pay upwards of 60k NGN to get an affordable and powerful device.

With an aggressive marketing strategy, Tecno, claimed a soft spot in the heart of Nigerians who wanted something more than Java phones, but didn’t have the required funds. Lately though, it seems Tecno is slowly being dethroned by the emergence of Infinix and Innjoo. Capitalizing on Tecno’s struggle to bring Android to Nigeria, Infinix and Innjoo have cashed in on the existing Android Base cultivated by Tecno. Infinix devices have been the highest selling devices on Jumia Nigeria for the past 2 years. That speaks much for how much Android has grown in the Nigerian market. And to think that 5 years ago, Android was a luxury.

You really should do your research before posting claims like these. Android was bound to be huge Globally, Tecno only joined other OEMs in porting to the winning Team. So technically speaking, Android made Tecno popular, not the other way around.
Mediatek was also another chipset that challenged the almighty Snapdragon (Mediatek still has some work to do). Mediatek was bound to be huge Globally, Tecno again ported to the winning Team. So technically speaking, Mediatek made Tecno popular.
When you mention the history of Android in Nigeria and all you mention is Samsung, it means you were'nt in the trenches. There were other brands, not just as well marketted or expensive as Samsung, most people just didn't know them. Samsung and Apple make cutting edge phones and that's a fact no geek would argue. It's when the layman comes into the equation you'll begin to consider price since they dont use most of the phones features anyway. When price becomes your standard for ranking devices then you're encouraging OEMs to cut corners; selling you crappy specs with high levels of radioactive emmissions.....but cheap...afterall, thats what 'turns you on'.
There were a lot of other debatable things you said but no time to align you on them all.

Summary: If the premise of your argument is faulty then your logic goes south with it.

we've dropped the rooting guide

We'll drop the TWRP image and rooting guide asap

Flashing and Rooting guides to be dropped soon

Here's Itel 1503 in CWM recovery

Godvilla:

I tried that procedure, didnt wrk

Of course it's SPD. Itel phones are SPD

Godvilla:
Itel 1405 still unable to root

It's rootable.
We posted a rooting guide at our forum

Gamesound:
CWM for it1701 (prime tab) please

ported!
whats your email address so we send it to you with flashing instructions

eraly:
Pls , can you help us get how to root Gionee M5 and also the CWM recovery for it? Thanks so much. We appreciate you effort

This project isn't actually for Gionee but for Itel.
We can create a root Mod for Gionee M5 but getting testers is the issue. We had to rely on South African, Ghanian, Kenyan, Chinese and Egyptian testers for our Tecno C8, Tecno J5 and Gionee M2 mini root Mods. Our Nigerian testers consistently backed out for fear of bricking their phones.
Anyways, noted!

Its Project Muse (Clockworkmod recovery for Itel phones).
By request, we've ported CWM 6 to Itel 1452, 1453 and 1503. Request for CWM recovery (for your Itel phone model) and Team Họvatek will create one

franconian:
