[General Questions and Answers] mathy007:
Is your phone gionee M5?

Like i said before

I have the backup of stock that can be Flash with sp flash tool it's 2.8gb i managed to compressed it to 1gb+ but to upload it is the problem maybe I'll need to split it into several parts so that i can upload it here.

BTW i tried flashing the twrp recovery on the M5 with me here but it won't budge[emoji17]
[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
Yes it's a Gionee M5 I bought from China, I would really appreciate a copy of the stock rom, I will PM you a place to upload if thats easier.

I will zip up the files I used to flash TWRP & SU and upload them and provide instructions. I used a different version of SP Tools to the one Criszz uploaded
[General Questions and Answers] criszz:
yes, please do , thx
[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
Link to files below and basic instructions. Let me know if you need me to expand on any of the steps below (Gionee M5 drivers are in the zip files if you haven't installed them already).

1. Run flash_tool.exe in the SP_Flash_Tools folder

2. Click on Scatter-Loading in the Download tab, and select the MT6735_Android_scatter file in the Rec_TWRP folder

3. Turn your phone OFF, and connect to computer

4. Click the Download button (under green arrow)

and twrp is in english or you used theme?

also is there a way to backup stock recovery, just in case via dd command?
[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
In TWRP you can set the language to English or Chinese

SP Tools can create a backup of your recovery.img. I have the stock Gionee one if you need it, not sure if the Allview one is different

Your phone should be OFF to flash the recovery.img using SP Tools

I didn't use MTK Droid Tools so not sure. What are you trying to do?
[General Questions and Answers] criszz:
to create a new scatter file because when i want to flash your file i've got '' pmt changed for the rom you need to download''
[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
Have you enabled USB debugging in developer settings? If you run the adb devices command does it list your phone?

yes is listed, maybe i need to change from download only to firmware upgrade?

[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
It is Amigo 3.0.4, Android 5.1. I'm away this weekend so all I had time to do was flash the stock ROM from Mathy. It contains GApps already in the ROM (Original Chinese ROM didn't so that's good). I haven't flash TWRP and SuperSu yet, but on Monday when I'm back I will and upload a backup.

[MENTION=1163516]criszz[/MENTION] Use SP Flash Tools to just flash Mathy's ROM (I had to choose Format & Download as Download Only gave me an error) then flash TWRP & SuperSu as you did before if you can't wait til Monday ;)

Pls need advice on wot to do. Also will this recovery not soft brick my phone? Give alternative to sptool dat can be use

Don't be offended with the questions asked, am new at all this
[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
If you're getting that error then you'll need to use MTK Tools to create your own scatter file as the one with the TWRP isn't correct for your phone.

You can then use your newly created scatter file to flash the TWRP recovery.IMG, and yes there is a chance doing this could brick your phone. Any time you mess around with flashing files it can chase issues, you should take a full backup before you do anything.
[General Questions and Answers] tipuban:
I did it!

I finally did it!

I'm currently upgrading to the latest Lolipop version (Allview's November 2015 upgrade).

I'll be back in about 2h with the full backup & rooting instructions along with the full working rooted ROM for the Allview Energy P8 model.

The instructions for the Gionee Marathon M5 are identical with the Allview Energy P8 instructions, the only difference being the actual image files used for flashing.

Yay! :D

[General Questions and Answers] criszz:
i can waitt to try. is twrp rom or flash with sp tools?
[General Questions and Answers] tipuban:
It's actually both. I've taken a full backup of my ROM, diced the file into actual partition images but I've replaced the stock recovery.img with the TWRP recovery.img and simply re-flashed it back.

I've included both the STOCK recovery and the TWRP recovery in the rom kit. You can switch between them by selecting the proper scatter file: Allview_P8_Energy_0102_V6063_STOCK_scatter.txt for STOCK or Allview_P8_Energy_0102_V6063_TWRP_scatter.txt for TWRP - it's that simple :)

[General Questions and Answers] glbsolutions:
I used the SP Tools in tipubans package and it worked fine. The reason you are getting the PMT error is because your EMMC locations are different to the ones listed in the scatter file. You have 2 options.

1. Flash the entire ROM including TWRP (you will lose all your data! But have a rooted phone)

2. Or make your own scatter file using MTK Droid Tools like I said to you yesterday. You can then use this new scatter file to just flash the TWRP recovery image.

Instructions on how to make a scatter file http://forum.ucweb.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=169057
[General Questions and Answers] criszz:
i will ad to that: i you want your apps and data, make a bakup from adb (google that) ( no root neeeded ) and restore after rom install, worked for me
