Dear Android developers, the Gionee P2 is a great phone that offers value for money. But the benefits of rooting it are endless. Hence here's a guide on how to do it.

Requirements :

1. A computer (running Windows 7)
2.Original Gionee data/USB cable
3.Gionee p2
4.Working Internet Connection

Step 1:

Data Backup:

Backup your contacts, apps, messages etc.. into your sd card or the phone memory.

Step 2:

This step is Recommended but  is not Necessary if your phone has the Walton Primo F2 Firmware. 

Factory Data Reset:

Please go ahead with step ONLY if you got the OTA update mentioned below, on your stock ROM.
This is an important step, especially if you recently received an OTA update that installed Bubble Birds 2, and a few other useless games and apps. Rooting is not possible in the presence of this OTA update.


Initial Adjustments Before Rooting:(Must Do)

1.Disable 'NQ Antivirus'

Settings>Apps>All>(Select NQ Mobile Security)>(Select Force stop)>(Select Disable)

2.Enable your phone to install apps from 'Unknown Sources'

Settings>Security>(Check 'Unknown Sources')

3.Disable the Google Play app verification

Settings>Security>(Deselect 'Verify Apps' option)

4.Enable USB Debugging

Settings>Developer Options>(Select 'USB debugging')


Step 3:

Set up your phone in the initial steps. Then download PdaNet from here

 Check  'others' and click next till the drivers get installed.

Step 4 :

After installing PdaNet, disconnect the phone from the computer. You can see the PdaNet app in your app drawer. Uninstall it and reboot your phone.

After the phone is rebooted, restart your computer and reconnect your phone.

Step 5:

Download the SRSRoot application on the computer.

After selecting the 'Root Device(Smart Root)' option, the application will run a few operations and a prompt will be sent to your phone.

 Select the 'Install Super SU' option and select the 'Boromir' Exploit and press ok.







Now, SRSRoot will finish the process and ask you to reboot the phone.
