Google search was of no help. I would not be asking otherwise. Several versions of Kingroot, including the latest one did not work. Please point me to something. Thanks.

If you follow that link, you will notice that one is supposed to download the TWRP specific to devices on a page. Sadly, Gionee M5 Plus is not on the list. So, this is actually a dead end. It is one of the links I found earlier with google search.

I very much doubt it. These local companies (Gionee, Infinix, Tecno, Innjoo etc) treat their phones like appliances. You are lucky if you get a few bug fixes. Major update? Not likely to happen. By the way, I have phones with LP, MM and Nougat. I'm not sure the differences are anything major.

infinix is an acception amongst the phones u listed.
my note 2 came with lollipop out of the box, its now running on marshmallow. and hopefully, infinix will have android 7 upgrade. not all infinix phones though.

I made a custom twrp recovery. However, the recovery was upside down and touch wasn't working. I don't know what I did wrong. I was however able to use a mouse (through an otg cable connected to the phone) to run the recovery and flash the latest supersu.

Damn, that's risky. Thanks though.

Hello Gionee phones users i need your advises i mistakenly cut my Gionee M3 Mini power switch on & off flex and the phone cannot be on again and i have tried all my best to get it repair even Gionee Service center but they told me i will have to pay N7,500 for new touch pad because it has crack before they can fix it and i don't have such amount of money so am thinking of doing automatic switch on for the phone
is it a good or bad idea from me
before i do it
