How To Root Gionee M3 mini By Donpre
tut

When switched off phone connected to USB - you have only 1 second to start Flashing. If something gone wrong (no drivers... etc.) - phone out from flashing mode and reconnect to CHARGING mode.

better if before start SPFlashTool you correctly install Drivers+VCOM Driver to SwitchedOff phone

How To Root Gionee M3 mini By Donpre
++Free up to 6gb in your SD card, then reboot to recovery again to do a backup... Mine was 5.3gb in size, yours could be smaller or even

Don't forget to use GZip compression of BACKUP. (checkbox)
it can save 1-3GB

olayinkajnr:

But is the black view rom with any bug??

yeap! camera works in 13MB mode and have a green color on shots.

madjnr:
are you sure it wasn't deactivated by default, check your build.prop

maybe it's hidden in User Interface akp but i have no time to decompile and fix it.

i'll check it later

madjnr:

no.
but you can use same application -

Donpre:

just installed twrp(hovateck's version).... about to install root just need to ask 4peace and caparu if the system should be left unmodified

Unmodified in TWRP means that after loading system TWRP will be deleted. system reinstalled stock Recovery.
all modufication is - rename system file recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak

Don't worry, MODIFY and be happy )

after installing SuperSU and first start system you can see notification. press "close" or something like this. i don't know how it translated in your firmware.

!!!WARNING!!!

NEVER DO Formatting NANDFlash in SPFlashTool !!! it will briks your phone!
we have not found methods to back phone alive!

Use SPFlash only for "DownloadMode"- to flash new firmware or recovery
and "ReadBack" - to make backup of your NandFlash / NVRAM (imei)


highly recommend after flash TWRP recovery - make FULL Backup of your phone!
