xdafirmware link for KK firmware (works for me, sometimes i have to flash my IMEI. sometimes i dont have to. :P)

http://xdafirmware.com/gionee-m2-8g

download the second one

if that doesnt work then try this:

1. root your stock rom

2. download a custom rom , and custom recovery for M2:

i recommend TWRP recovery by [MENTION=6035000]Munna36[/MENTION] and any bugless ROM by ARGN (Eg. Hive UI). Their work is amazing.

3. Make sure custom rom is rooted, then go to MTK engineering mode -> Radio -> CDS information (or the other way around..)

follow this page video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZEVDwcCVzY

and PM me if u need help.

4. and make sure not to flash any extra file (bootimg or whatever. most of the roms have bootimg inside them and it works perfectly without any issues)

8 GB Version

No ROM for 8 GB version? Have camera issue in every ROM :(
[Gionee M2] ubking:
Same here..... I hv camera issue in all! ?
[Gionee M2] style.xythe:
Well.. i have 8gb version too. i am using cleankat 2.9.2 by umangleekha. it contained bootimg in itself, i just flashed the rom and cameras (front/back) both work perfectly fine in my phone. i really dont know why others are facing this problem..

flash this one: http://www.mediafire.com/download/gwhypr7nel3ns5j/CleanKAT_M2_V2.9.2_OFFICIAL_102214.zip i hope it works for you.

also , try using third party camera applications like cameraMX , etc they might work!!!!!!!!

but do not flash boot.img from anywhere else. first try flashing that rom, open it, check for camera issues, and after that you should try flashing things!

take care n happy flashing

Cheers

[Gionee M2] seunskills:
Hi all, I need help to fix my Gionee M2 which got bricked after an attempt to update an official notification I got. It is now soft bricked. It can be booted to official recovery but clearing cache or factory reset from recovery still resulted in boot loop. It was rooted but has no custom recovery installed. The USB port was broken so I can't flash a new ROM via PC, I only use the USB port for charging, can't be recognized by a PC. I downloaded a stock ROMs on the SD card but it keep giving error and won't update. Is it possible to flash a custom recovery via SD card and I'll need help to get the SD card flashable custom recovery if it possible? I need help cos I'm stranded without a phone for about 48hrs now. Thanks all in advance and God bless.

[Gionee M2] Parthesabari:
When I try to download a app from the play store when the internal memory is less than 320mb or something... I get the insufficient space error...! I using 4gb version... And I'm able to install apps in phone storage... I'm also able to install the apk files but I can't download anything from play store
[Gionee M2] style.xythe:
1. Welcome to XDA, newbie :)

2. Try to use the Q/A section for such questions, so that it isn't misleading :)

3. The error that you mentioned is "pre-built", play store has this setting since a long time, that you cannot install apps when you have less than a certain amount of free space available. Say, if you have 1.5GB space for apps and you use up 1.2 GB and have 300 MB you wont be allowed to download apps from play store, its because of Play Store APK settings

You can still download the APK files and install because these are being done by you yourself (third party) and not google

I guess you aren't rooted or on a custom rom, seeing that this was your first post.

I'll ask this, are you on Kitkat Stock ROM (4.4.2) or on Jellybean Stock ROM (4.2.2)?

Solutions:

1. Try uninstalling any useless apps, try all methods you can find on google or XDA to be able to clean up some space, caches, etc.

2. ROOT, WIPE, REPARTITION GO EASY M8 FIRST LEARN THE ABCs before anything else (cant use BAE now! :silly:)

There are a few techniques that you can use to get more app storage by changing your app partitions

That requires ROOTING and DELETING ALL YOUR DATA, and BACKING UP your contacts,apps,etc. data before you format

Thats a lot of stuff, i advise you read some threads , understand how it works, before you root/repartition/do anything harsh!

If you need help you can still post on XDA we all will be here to help you.

-> you must flash it via SP Tools

-> will have to format /data and /cache (install all apps, contacts, everything again, like a factory reset)

This one will increase your app storage space to ~2GB and you can use that ;)

Front facing camera

I am having problems with front facing camera. Rear camera works fine.

When I switch to FFC, a blank screen appears, camera app quits with error message: "Unfortunately, camera has stopped.".

Next time I start camera app again, a blank screen appears and after a wait "Can't connect to the camera" and quits.

I can access the rear camera after clearing data from settings-->apps-->all-->camera (clear data)

I have tried restarting, clearing cache and data, installed LEWA based custom ROM and both of the above given stock ROMs with no luck. I am starting to think it is a hardware issue. Any ideas/suggestions please?

Front camera problem for me too!!

Since Ive flashed the AOSP rom Ive had this front camera issue. Whenever trying to switch to the front camera, the phone says couldnt connect to the camera. Please someone clarify if this a ROM issue. And how to get around this??

Also, I am planning to flash MIUI today, so is there anything I should be aware of??

And, the day I got my phone, I got overly excited, and forgot to take the backup of the stock system img and other stuff, directly rooted and flashed a custom recovery and flashed the AOSP. Didnt even take a nandroid backup.

So I request somebody to share the stock img as I would be helpless if I happen to brick my device.

MIUI has some bugs

I have been using MIUI for a few days now. The rom is probably the best one available for the device atm. Feels very polished and runs absolutely smooth.

But it does have some very annoying bugs.

-The external storage is shown as phone storage and the phone storage as external.

All the apps get installed on the actual phone storage (which is shown as external storage) and all the downloaded stuff also goes here.

This way there is very very less space to install apps, hence very limited number of apps can be installed.

This is the case for me, if anyone has a workaround, please do let me know.

-There is no way to toggle 3G/2G and the first sim is only supported.

-I lost my front camera functionality when I flashed the device with the ASOP rom. And upon switching to this rom, there has been no improvement. Meaning the front cam still doesnt work. The camera app closes whenever I try to switch to the front cam.

[Not related to the ROM]

The audio quality via the headphone jack isnt good at all.

Please suggest something of there is a way to improve this.
[Gionee M2] rishiandri:
I would suggest you to switch to stock ROM.. Its the only smooth working ROM currently.. Miui has bugs like magnetic sensor doesn't work and stuff.. The older version of miui was more stabler than this but Fb messenger has issues like always waiting to connect and no magnetic sensor..
[Gionee M2] cool_ravi78:
May be u DON'T try it...bro I tried it...arnab is doing good job ..he try to put all his effort... I hats off for him ...atleast someone is trying to make effort....but I face this ...if anyone want to use this make sure they have clockwork mod backup in their PC......so they DON'T have to go through...that havoc.....
[Gionee M2] raavanan:
There is a way change external storage problem

And for toggle 3g use MTK control app.

For better audio use viber4android app
