Hello folks!
I recently purchased a Gionee Elife S7 GN-9006 from China. It does not let me install any google applications or the google play store.
From existing forums, I have learnt that to be able to install Play store , I need to root my phone and install from the appropriate Google APKs.
Could someone please let me know in brief detail, the steps to be taken to install Play Store?
Many thanks.
Cheers,
Vardhman

Has anyone figured out how to root Gionee elife s7 ?
There are no tested methods available anywhere on the internet. :fingers-crossed:
I was able to root the divice by following this howto from chinese forum
but xda du not allow my to post link. It based on Kingoroot 129 and work at firt try. Send me pn and I'll try to send you the link.
Still I'm not able to get google services working. I use some provided gapps packages and install it.
But all 5-10 sec the google service stops / crash. Also I was not able to finish the registration process for an google account. (Message -> no connection , retry)
any idear for that?
hello gregor4711, I don´t know how send a pm, but I need make root and install gapps in my S7, can you help me?
thanks
Hi Thunder,
in the mainwhile I give up. i just install alternative store like aptide etc. but was not able to get google apps working at all.
You do not need root to install aptide, just go on webside and install from there.
More intresting I fund an youtube video from an indian guy that present / introduce a S7 with playstore on screen
Try to get in touche with him , but no succes. Would be great if he would do a copy of rom and we install and wipe data partition. That shoulld do the job.
But he did not answer. -youtube.com / watch?v=15ZzA0KaAY0
(Its not allowed to post links so pls clean link from unnessary charakters)
My asumtion is that Ginoee india delivers a rom ** with ** google apps. We should focus to get that rom.

I have an Indian gionee elife s7. It has everything installed like Google play store and play services. And also there was no chinese language. Then I flashed a stock ROM downloaded from needrom, now there is no Google services, also Chinese language, so now I need gionee s7 Indian ROM, if anyone can provide it please help me
Hardoi,
at the moment you are not happy but you are our hero
Why? You proof what we all estmated / hoped that there is an different rom version for India.
Ok, what we (you) need to do. Go to Gionee India webside and ask them for the stock room for I*N*D*I*A Elife S7. Ask them how to flash.
With this procedure you should get your phone back, working with Google gaps and the comunity will praise you for this rom.

Can you use iRoot from here:
h t t p:// androidxda.com/download-vroot
Remove the space.
Hi altrin, Iroot is not a custom room, it is just a tool to root the existing rom. Not all versions of Elife S7 stock firmware are rootable.
xxlmetabo ask for changing language, as it will be done by custom rom, not by root.
Could you share the link of the website which gave you a successful method to root gionee elife s7

Sounds good. Once you have the new rom on the S7, we will found a way to do backup. I'll try to figure out and send post to you.
May be you can have a chat with the technican employee and ask him how he flash the rom.
Take a usb stick with you, maybe he can copy rom + tool on the usb stick. That would save a lot of work for us
Many thanks for your effort.

Ok friend I will try my best to get a fresh copy of this rom.
And as soon as i get it, I will send this to all of you.
Statement post. Not a question.
I have seen many famous Roms on this site showing older 5.0.2 history versions on google, but when
I follow those links, they redirect to the updated 5.1.1 versions.
Please post and Sticky any 5.0.2 ROMS for S6 Edge below. (There are people who still need them..)
I can not find any working download links. My Japan Softbank carrier did not update to 5.1.1.
I need 5.0.2 Roms please. I see history of them on google. I can find no such working download links.
Thank you.
My phone model is sm g925z. I would be willing to test any phone version, of 5.0.2
I Found CarHD 5.0.2 digging on google. for anyone else who may need it.
I will test it now and report on the status after.
https://meocloud.pt/link/338ef8e8-be07-48e2-a8ef-eb904342b631/CarHDRom_V.3.3_G920_OF4.zip
SimpleRom 5.0.2 link
Testing now also.
https://mega.nz/#F!CYFX1TZQ!Sa10c0z-6R4a8uTsi9CWGA
both failed to connect to wifi or cell service.
both were full of crashes.
do not bother trying.
I tried a third 5.0.2 Rom. a sm g925i model, it could connect to wifi only.
but it would crash when trying to connect to the phone app.
if I can get anything working with the new rom, I will post links if I get anything working.
probably the junk will not work.
Thread close.
Please do not post dupliocate threads for the same problem.
Thanks

Hello
Now, the stock rom is 5.1.1 and there was an error or issue with shareit app and i had to full wiped the phone with twrp custom recovery and after that, the phone's rom has been broken or just has a problem which says, there is no OS installed.
So, i had to download 5.0.1 after a lot of search with a good link and after introduce it to ODIN, there is a problem which that is also says:
sw check fail aboot fused error
So, i've read the same threads and saw something like cannot go back to older version.
So, is there any roms links (direct links) as official with persian supports language to download with 5.1.1 version? i've seen the sammobile info about the country and found nothing about the country and persian language.
It should be useful for the others which they have the same issue in future.
Any helps would be great, i've been fixing this issue about 8 hours by now! Just needs a guide or help about a direct link of official rom for Note 4 N910P
I don't believe the stock Sprint N910P firmware ever supported Farsi by default.
My recommendations:
1) Download the latest OK1 firmware and install with Odin (Samsung doesn't allow you to go back to 5.0.1 ) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/stock-tar-odin-flashable-t3250864
2) Download a Farsi keyboard (it won't change the OS, but since you appear fluent in English, it should allow you to send texts and messages in Farsi - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boloorian.android.farsikeyboard&hl=en
I know there is a huge desire to buy Sprint phones for International use because their price on the secondary market is far lower than other models in the same family. However, if native language support is important to you, I would steer clear in the future. An International version will have a far wider language library installed.
Hello. I remember a couple of years ago i downloadet the official firmwares from LG by using "generator" link however it doesnt seem to work anymore?
Normaly i would use following:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=THIS_IS_HERE_IMEI_GOES
Typing my imei numbers in the last would give me some code where i looked for "<sw_url/> <sw_locale_url/>" that would give me a string to download the latest firmware. However now it is blank? Is this because they have revoked this from the LG servers?
nice fish bait title, my dude
same here, not working for me as most tutorials describe... !?
Do you guys know if there is any other way around?
I cant download any firmwares through lg links anymore WTF. All links seems gone. Only white screen this is so frustrating.
Yarraque ---> I have the same issue. Somehow i think they have closed the "deep links" for the firmwares
Is there Any way to download or another sources?
Here's all the firmware's for the H850
And if you don't own the H850, all others can be found by browsing here.

That's because they're changing servers - just found out about it by reading their facebook page.
Thank You
As of June 30 2018 the links posted worked for me, I am currently downloading the LG G5 firmware that I spent the better part of a day looking for.(Should have just come here in the first place....that'll teach me)

Hi,
to both of you @Itsmefreddo and @Menrix_AUT
You have two options.
Method 1
1) Since you said you bought it from china I think you might have Hiapp on your tablet.
Then you can just type playstore in search and install it.
2) I hope you have Huawei ID to login
if you don't have Huawei ID then you can register for free from this link
3) once you register. you can download play store from HiApp and install. You are set.
This is more safer method as you are downloading play store from a reliable source. Screenshots attached.
Method 2
1) open your browser and type www.aptoide.com
2) install the app and there are plenty of stores from where you can download and install apps. ( my store samavb.store.aptoide.com )
3) you can just type in google playstore in search and you can get it this way too.
I would personally recommend method 1 as it coming straight from Huawei and you will not have any compatibility issues.
and for firmware
1) After you install playstore, install an app called "firmware finder" - this is actually used for Huawei phones but I just checked and you can get firmwares for Huawei Mediapad M3 and tablets as well. This is a famous app suggested by other members of XDA so it is safe. (screenshot attached)
2) You just have to open the app after installing and it will automatically identify your model. If your tablet is LTE model then it will identify the firmwares corresponding to it. (screenshot attached)
3) Download the firmware
4) unpack
5) move to dload
6) Switch off the tablet then press volume up and down and power all together and then wait for the tablet to vibrate.
7) After that it will start installing.
But I would sincerely urge you not to do this now and please wait for Android Nougat. Once you get Nougat you will love this tablet even more. Don't do this unless you have problems with your current firmware.
Please remember, that firmware updates always come with the risk. I have enclosed screenshots for better understanding.
Hope this helps
Cheers!
?
thank you very much. for now this worked so well... and I will wait for Nougat
No neeed to do so
I bought my M3 from LightIntheBox.com, and they send it directly from China so they Sent me the Chinese Model with No Google Play Store Either.
I just installed the Google Play Store APK and now I have an official working Google Play Store.
http://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/google-play-store-apk-latest-version-download/
-
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
You can Download it Here.
I have also installed the 2017 firmware in Mediapad m3 with the Firmware Finder App, I did a full firmware rather than OTA and it Works perfect. But the Firmware it is still the Chinese version so you have to install the Google Play Store APK either way. But I have now the latest 2017 firmware installed in my M3
China version
Hi, I bought mine on a recent trip to China, easy enough to get play store installed and change the language over with the exception of the hiboard, this insists on keeping me in China and there is no way to change the region so all the news etc is all in Mandarin. If i update the firmware to the EU version for BTV-W09 will it update it or brick it?
China Version
Hey Lads,
Just got the M3 from China as well and I was wondering if I could flash a global rom in any way so that everything is in english and I can get all google services! Btw is Nougat out already? I am very new to all of this and if you could give a step by step guide i would sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!!!
@JTal yo bro did you manage to find a workaround and flash C100 onto the Chinese C233??
how do you know which firmware is the UK version and has no chinese in it?
