How To Unbrick Your Gionee P2
How To Unbrick The Gionee P2 (CWM Recovery Included):
(Simplified Guide)
Dear Developers, here's a guide on how to unbrick your Gionee P2:
Step 1:
Download the F2 Firmware here :
http://www.4shared.com/rar/5CugkczIce/F2_firmware.html
Step 2: (Installing The Drivers)
Unrar the archive. First open the folder called "Driver'' and extract the ''USB VCOM Driver" onto your desktop.
Open Control Panel and open 'Device Manager'.
Select the first option/device and select the option called 'Action' and select 'Add Legacy Hardware'
Select 'Install Hardware Manually' and press 'Next' a few times.
Now select 'Have Disk' and select the .inf file from one the folders (extracted on your desktop) that corresponds to the OS of your computer.
(If your Computer has a 64 bit OS, then select the file that has 64 in its name).
Now the drivers should finish installing.
Restart your computer.
Step 3: (Installing The Walton Primo F2 OS)
In the extracted folder called 'F2 Firmware', you will find two folders: ''Flash tools'' and ''Software''.
Open ''Flash Tools'' and extract ''SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1312.0.139'' to your desktop.
Now open ''Software'' and extract '' Primo-F2_0301_T5159" to your desktop.
Open the folder ''SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1312.0.139'' (There are a few nested folders so just keep opening them). You will find a blue icon called ''Flash_tool.exe''. Open the application.
You should see this:
1.Select 'Downloading Agent' and navigate to the ''SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1312.0.139'' folder that's within the ''SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1312.0.139'' folder, on your desktop.
2.Select the file: ''MTK_AllInOne_DA" and press 'Open'.
3.Once this is done, select the option: ''Scatter Loading'' and navigate to the folder "Primo-F2_0301_T519" on your desktop.
4.Select the file: ''MT6572_Android_scatter'' and press open.
5.Remove the battery from your phone.
6.After the files in the flash tools are loaded select the 'Firmware Upgrade' option and connect your phone (with the battery removed).
7.It should start updating. Then insert the battery into your phone and wait for a few minutes.
You should see a green circle open up in a window.
8.Its Done. Remove the phone's USB connection, then remove and re-insert the battery into your phone.
9.Switch on the phone.
Congrats! You just unbricked your Gionee P2! :)
If you reboot to recovery you'll have CWM Recovery. Enjoy :)
