[Need Help] I can't flash the stock rom

I recently bought a new gionee elife e7, but its rom (it didn't have the stock one) had a lot of problems so I want to change it. I downloaded GNQC DownLoad Tool and tried to flash the stock rom I found here : pan.baidu.com/s/1mgoIgha (pass : vt1a) . This rom is from gionee. My problem is that I get an error "The phone ver is different from SW ver" on GNQC DownLoad Tool. I tried to flash and other roms but I got the same error message. The version of my gionee elife e7 is GBW8901_A_NORIOS_094 (I can't find it anywhere on the google).
Can someone please help me flash the stock rom on my gionee e7?
EDIT : Stupid question, I found the solution. I had to disable SW check...

Good it is working!

I have windows 7 64 bit.... But I think it doesn't metter...
Just a note, I noticed that in the 4.4.2 update the COM ports are not working for some reason and you can not use GNQC DownLoad Tool. In my case I had to downgrade to a 4.2 rom (using CWM recovery) and then use GNQC DownLoad Tool because I can only see the COM ports in my PC when my phone is on android 4.2. Correct me if I am wrong.

Nice!
Every body talks about the GNQC DownLoad Tool is not working under windows 64bit.
What kind of CWM and which ROM 4.2 you flashed?
What was that SW check are you talking?
Thanks a lot!

First of all, I have windows 7 64 bit and GNQC DownLoad Tool is working fine. I used the english version from here :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51788389
The only case it is not working is when I update my gionee e7 to android 4.4.2 (the latest official india rom update, I update it through the official "System Update"). The latest update was charging my sim card (I lost 9 euros) for some reason I don't know (I guess they put a pre-installed virus? Not sure). It seems that, with the new update the COM ports just stop working, so the GNQC DownLoad Tool can't find them to flash new firmware. To fix this, I flashed TWRP recovery (forum.xda-developers.com/elife-e7/orig-development/recovery-t-r-p-recovery-2-8-5-0-t3050958) and installed the official china 4.2 rom (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2648457). I only do that to get the COM ports back because they are working in the china 4.2 rom (most of the things in the 4.2 rom I install this way are not working so I only do that for the COM ports). And after all that, I use the GNQC DownLoad Tool to flash a firmware from the beginning.
I hope this will help some of you!

It is really helpful post! Thanks for your detailed guide.
I alredy helped some e7 users with COM error problems.
All credits goes to you of course!
So which ROM is "the best" in your opinion?

Kitkat is best.
He is charged because this rom has 2 programe that sends automatic messages and need to Be deleted.
Salestatistic and
Salestrack
You need Root for that.
Also You can shut them down by modify build.prop lines:
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=yes
ro.gn.oversea.salestrack.gi=no
You should do both for safety.
The messages are sent to
00918527214747
00919880938662
Also,for fun,You can change those numbers with any so the messages will Be sent to that number.
The messages contains phone imei,operator code and other things about phone.
The messages are being sent every time You power on your phone and yes,IT charges your phone bill.
Sorry for my bad english.

My model is ASUS_T00F
I have the droidboot version 2.1, I think it's one kitkat.
Since last night, however, I installed the latest version of cyanozenmod But before doing so yesterday I also did downgrade the bios from 3.24 to 2.1 because I wanted to reinstall the firmware official of kitkat without having success because it did not work with the original recovery of the phone and then I could not do the adb sideload.
I must say, however, since yesterday has rebooted me once, instead of doing all these things before the phone was restarted and crashed even 5-7 times a day.
For now I see how it turns the phone but if anyone has any solution for my case, so be it, I will be happy to test it with you so that it functions.
Another thing, at this time the phone is without the TWRP recovery and does not even have the official.

Hello mate, I was suffering from same problem. I Completely flashed JB firmware of my device through fastboot then kitkat.. That way my device now never reboots

I guess so as i did tried to reflash stock ROM with Mobile Upgrade Q 5.0.0 a few days ago, but it didn´t work. Then i used Mobile Upgrade Q 5.1.8 but it displayed that i had the latest software so no reflashing at all, i was incapable of reflashing and clearing the \system partition, for me it is a real problem as i was expecting to delete all the traces of SuperSU root, Xposed, etc; with the aim of moving to Magisk and keep passing safetynet. Anyone has any clue so that could help me reflashing latest stock MM ROM?

Use the Panasonic ELUGA to restore an then the Mobile Upgrade .

I was also considering downgrade to LP by performing a restore from my TWRP backup. May be easier and safer, as ELUGA modifies certain branded partitions, I guess... Any inconvenience related to that?

I have never got the mobile upgrade to work, not even this version, and that is a shame because here in Finland we have no OTA since lollipop, and I can not understand how the official MM-rom is nowhere to be found, even if the phone have the option of update from storage. If only I could find the update file, I presumably could update without any rooting or twrp or anything, and keep it factory fresh and under warranty?

I agree with you, that is a bad movement from Alcatel not to give access to ROM zip. It would be so easy to flash it via settings _ apply update from zip, as many devices do. Weeks ago I was desperate to find a stock zip for my 6045Y but no luck. It's a shame to let dye this music lover smartphone.

I have the stock MM rom if anybody wants it.

The roms are from murigny64, he made them. He has a thread here which I checked earlier. If you want the version without root the link is still good, only the rooted version was removed.

Thanks for the quick reply, i did a search and found the tread https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 However, i have a more recient MM Stock ROMs with many fixes (in the version of this URL 2016/08/10 the MM ROMs has a bug that unables the phone to record call, am i wrong?).
I'm not sure what to do and even can´t update from the latest MM from a couple of days ago, https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/help/ota-android-update-malware-t3736229 As Mobile Upgrade Q says that my 6045Y has the latest software, may be an update to only 6045I model?

I don't know about the record call thing, I don't use it.
As for the second part I'm not sure I understand. You want the latest OTA update or you already have it

Sorry, i didn't explain myself properly. I mean, I have already the latest MM stock ROM dated from january of 2017, my device is a 6045Y. However, a few days ago there has been released an update, but my guess is that only for 6045I devices, so i don't have it and can´t reflash my Idol 3 with the same ROM i currently have.
PS:
I tried to flash via TWRP this zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/6045y-mm-6-0-1-firmware-european-idol3-t3435577 and then use the Mobile Upgrade Q to get the latest MM stock, but Mobile Upgrade Q keeps saying "you have already the latest update" which this statement is not true after flashing this zip. Finally, I restored my TWRP backup so i'm in the same state as i began this morning, i'm tired of this policy of Alcatel that there is no official zip from stock firmwares, the only way is using an online tool thar refuses to reflash the same firmware.

I am from india, using 6045k, lost duel sim support due to flashing of marionette's Rom. Still trying to get duel sim back, tried eluga firmware also, but unfortunately i didn't get any error at 45%. Now i am using flyos 2.0, its working like charm. But only one sim is there, i tried several software upgrader versions, but server is not connecting, its always stuck at 20%.
Its been a year that i am trying to get to stock rom. I have done search in several threads and contacted some senior members but it didn't help,
Pls help me, how can i get back to stock rom and get duel sim Support back??

I need help, and ZTE won't help!

So, I have the US version of the Axon 7 Mini, I wanted to downgrade too Marshmallow, so I downloaded a file flashed it, success! Problem is, is it was the EU version P852A11 supposed to be P852A12, I downloaded the Nougat update from ZTE USA, and tried too flash it no success it says wrong device basically! When I flashed the EU version it basically changed my device to P852A11, and now my device is EU! How does that work it should have recognized and said not compatible, but no it changed my device and I don't know what too do! Can somebody please help! If it is possible can someone download the US Nougat from the ZTE US file and edit it and make it for a P852A11 so I can flash it?!
Or can somebody tell me how too toot this phone, because I have had no success with the threads on XDA!!

@NewbieGamingYT,
Hi,
Sorry to hear that. Yet I am comfused about your phone's problem, as far as I can see, if you flash your phone ZTE cannot help you because when you flash your phone is out of warrenty. Hoping to get your reponse. Thanks!

Hey TDM,
I had accidentally flashed the wrong ROM on my mini trying to get it back to stock from lineageOS. [...] I have the US version and this I believe the one I flashed is the UK version.

VNS-L23 help please someone????

good day everyone,
Please forgive me for asking this about the VNS-L23. I know there are tons on similar issues on the forum, I've been reading but non specific to my model. I also know that some of the solutions may work on the VNS-L23 variant as well but, I'm swamped and a bit confused. Can someone please assist in helping me restore the VNS-L23 back to stock OR the latest OS/firmware that is available?
I tried flashing a Nougat firmware, flash was successful but, when phone rebooted it would not go past the Huawei eRecovery, no matter what i try.
I tried flashing other VNS-L23 firmwares via 3 button method...no success
I tried 'Download latest version and recovery'...no success
I am able to get into Fastboot mode.
I tried to flash TWRP...i was unsuccessful (ADB did recognize device).....on FASTBOOT screen i see Phone: Locked FRP: unlocked...failed...command not allowed (i think)
I tried to use DC unlock-er to make some headway, of course i have to make a purchase costing 15 pounds. I always support these things but, i do not want to purchase and it still does not work.
According to DC unocker's detection:
Firmware: VNS-L23C605B120
FB LockState: Locked
USER LockState: Locked
You guys are awesome here and i know I'll get back my device to work....Please, I just bought it, not even 2 days and i cant even use it now because of this issue.
Many thanks in advance....Ronald

Is this the 2016 or 2017 model?

2016

Guys...I tried and tried and tried. Was most frustrating so I resorted to someone from Pakistan with software and programs to bring my P9 lite back to life. If you guys want I can put you on to the person. Or, if we can sort it out here then better because, of course it comes with a small fee to restore my device back to normal but I was desperate. I will say though, I didn't regretted it.

Hi dude, ok, if you tell device version and exact stock firmware
a little possibility to find some rollback package still exist.
But what are exactly your issue ?
Maybe you don't need rollback files...

I have two problems:
1. When I'm on horizontal (for example whatching a vodeo in YouTube, or playing in a game) the screen rotates itself, and the comeback, even when the autorotate is off.
2. When I'm going to type something the keyboard hides itself and I have to open it again.
And that's all, I hope you can help me.
By the way, I have tried to make a factory reset but it didn't work.

Well, looking onto the UNIFIED HELP THREAD, in post #6
there is "UNBRICKING AND DOWNGRADING FROM EMUI 5" section.
Here are some rollback packages but not for L23...
You need that package and need the full ota L23C212B130 firmware
from which extract update.app.
I don't know how to grab those files. I've searched with
Firmware Finder but B130 full ota isn't there...
So, go to next step...

B336 seems to be the latest firmware and no update are available.
If you want play a bit with your device you should consider
a rebrand but it is a bit difficult to find correct L23oeminfo file and firmware.
Maybe it can be converted to L21 or L31 version but never tried, i won't risk..
Some payed services should exist to assist you...
That's all dude, feel free to ask.
Cheers
edit: modified the link to UHT thread.

well, i think i will resign.
