I have just received a Huawei P1 (impressive hardware). But, one HUGE limitation: there is no Google Play (and no Google apps).
As JohnnyParanoia method does not work (posted by himself), is there any other way to:
1. root the phone
2. install Google apps on a non-rooted phone
Same. I just got the P1 XL and it has no google apps as well. Chinese/English build. Would be great to find out how to root and put on google apps ?
Ok I managed to root the phone which is working fine and I tried installing the recovery from Geno's tool but it just bootloops... really frustrating as I am so close to installing GAPPS.

Hi Guys,
I Found Two Firmware For p6-u06 I Am Little Confused Which One Is Latest.
1 : http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=182258
Version : B116SP01
Release Date : 21/8/13
2. http://cn.club.vmall.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=192149&extra=page=1
Version : B115SP04
Release Date : 10/9/13
Help Me Guys Which One I Install For Latest Firmware?
Latest firmware should be B116 - as far as I understand the Huawei firmware numbers.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------
I guess B115SP04 is just an improvement of B115, like CM10.1.3 for CM10.1. And B116 is a higher version with maybe additional functions, like CM10.2 instead of CM10.1.

The second one is for the T model P6, not the U06 model, the two aren't interchangeable on firmware. You can flash the European/International or Chinese ROMs onto the U model but if you look at the firmware version they both start with the correct U branding.
e.g.
First link - P6-U00_EmotionUI_1.6_V100R001C17B116SP01.zip - OK
Second link P6-T00_EmotionUI_1.6_V100R001C01B115SP02.zip - won't work on U06 model.

B116 and B111 are both stable - Huawei have gone for really strange version numbering. B111 is the international ROM (comes with Google apps, no Chinese apps), B116 is the Chinese version (still English text but no Google apps unless you add them yourself and a few Chinese apps). They should have gone for I000 for international ROM numbering and C000 for Chinese or something else logical in my opinion.
For what it's worth, I'm running B116SP01 as my daily driver with no complaints. Rooted, Chinese apps removed, Google apps restored. I had some problems when I installed it by running the update from within Android but none when reflashed using the forced recovery method.

None of the Chinese version ROMs have the Google framework - my post here lists the different version numbers and whether they're a Chinese or international release.
As long as you're rooted, it's pretty easy to get them up and running - I just backed them up from the most recent international install and restored them onto the Chinese version. If you do an upgrade from within a running international version to the Chinese one then it seems to carry your apps over anyway. I did have a few problems when I upgraded like this though and ended up doing a recovery wipe/restore to get everything behaving.
Make sure you have an .apk version of your root app manager of choice on your SD card ready to sideload after flashing then you can just restore the necessary google apps as a system app and get the Play store up and running and install everything else.

Here - it's in the Original Development section, not sure why. Personally, I found it buggy and went back to B116 - others may have had a better experience.

Hello.
It's possible to install an international rom in a T?
Thanks.
Hi everybady
I have Huawei P6, on the setting>>>security>>>>>.Encrypt Phone not exsist. Any idea or solution how to ecrypt the phone ?
Regards.
Saso.
Not supported in original firmware, if you really want to encrypt the phone flash a custom rom like ParanoidAndroid.
Edit:
Jut checked in PA, not available there either...
There are some apps in the Playstore though.

I have try all play store encrypt-app. Not working well.
Why I need encryption is rules from my company to setup corporate mail - phone must be encrypted.
Big miss from Huawei software team. This phone in my country was almost 400 euros, like samsung s-4.

Hi, I looked all over and cannot find a guide for rooting the US version of this phone. I've already killed it once using the Chinese guide (I got it from Hong Kong an assumed is was the Chinese version).
I don't want a custom recovery, just root. I'm not a new to rooting, just out of practice, I've been using Nexus devices and have grown used to its ease of rooting. I have also seen a lot of people brick there device on here and other forums and would obviously like to avoid that hastle
Thanks in advance.

I was only able to root the device by using a custom recovery via fastboot first: https://twrp.me/devices/letvle1pro.html. Then I installed SuperSU via TWRP.
Thanks mate, I was thinking that was my only option. Can I ask which versions of Twrp and SU you used? Should I just use the newest stable releases?

For TWRP I use the 3.0.2 from the web site I posted. For SuperSU I use v2.74. I think it was a beta version that I have installed, but it worked before also with 2.65 stable.

I recently acquired a Gionee M2017 and have been unable to install gapps apks or root the device. There is access to sign in to the google account which indirectly grants a portal to the main google apps including mail, calendar etc. It appears gionee has not granted support to google play services. It is possible to download apps from third party app sites though. Attempts at rooting have been unsuccessful internally with downloaded apps or with PC synchronization via USB debugging. Any suggestions or possibly I will need to wait until gionee sponsors a GMS core app or device can be rooted and flashed.

my problem is also same I can not success root my m5plus plz help me
rooting gionee m2017 and gapps
For more information the methods of rooting tried included: 360 root, king root, kingo root, one click root, v root, z4 root, framaroot, root master (iroot), root genius. here possible on device and rooting apps that allow PC synchronization. It allows developer option of unlocking bootloader but no effect on downloading gapps or rooting.
Same issues here.. Cannot root or use Gapps.. Tried everything but nothing is helping.. I wish someone comes out with a solution or rooting software for this Gionee M2017 at the earliest.. Feel handicap without google apps.. Any advise will be highly appreciated..
With the new amigo OS update you can now install and run google play services. Still some bugs...google contact sync stops working and you cannot access google contacts or gmail.
Gionee m2017
Bugs fixed all Google apps work. Choose always allow read contacts and always allow location in app permissions.

I have uploaded videos to you tube with instructions
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thGtYBo16p4
This is only valid for Gionee M2017 after Amigo OS is updated.
General principle is to install google services framework 6.01 (available APK mirror), followed by google contact sync 6.01, google calendar sync, google play services 10.2.99 (440), google play store.
The downloads are available https://www.apkmirror.com/
Ohhh I am so so thankful. I can't believe I am using it. I was about to throw this phone away as it was becoming useless.
You just made my year.

hi , recent updates of google play services crashes the google apps in gione m2017, i managed to download and instal older version of google play services, but once it is opened its updating itself to newest version and crashes again.
any solutions?
how do i stop it from self updating? should i waite for another version to come?
tried to root but cant find any root apps to support gionee m2017
thanks
I have not experienced that problem with my gionee m2017. I am using version 8.0.73 without any problems. It is difficult to conclude if the problem is in your app settings or the signature of your updated version. You can try to delete it and install from third party site like app China. Other option choose older version from apk mirror site. Last option would be to reinstall google play services and possibly framework for 6.0.

my gionee is running on amigo os 3.5.11 (m2017 release version) android 6.0.1, could you tell me what version of google apps are installed in your device?
i will download and instal them as well from apkmirror.com
i have reseted my phone to factory details, i want to reinstall Gapss. maybe it will help.
thanks for your reply
I provided my version of play store in the last thread. Google play services 11.0.55. I have the same amigo OS version and android version. If you already reset to factory version then the other trouble shooting for app fixes are moot. Reinstalling gapps should restore functionality.

reinstalling solves the problem partialy.
everything works fine untill google play services updates itself automatically to version 11.3.02 then it stops working.
That is bizarre. I have no suggested fix for that.
There are two ways to install gapps through Chinese installer or sequential installation apk mirror.

should have bought Samsung ok thanks ill waite for another update to google services maybe it will solve ..
After you open play store first time go settings auto update stop updates. Gionee M 2017 is not certified under settings which means occasionally apps will misbehave. There are a lot of third party app sites as well.
Hi,
Been looking for an answer and tried multiple options without success so I hope this thread will solve this for me and others.
I have a Nova 2 Plus device from China and cannot install Google play (best I could do is to reach the step where it requires GMS packages). Tried to install from differente links and sites, installed the apk also but no luck.
Can you please help with this?
Thanks a lot!

Does the phone came with a custom firmware? is you bootloader unlocker and phone rooted? if normal methods dont work, you can reinstall oficial firmware with rootin along with de Gapps through sideload with TWRP, or you can try forcing your phone with new firmware to see if now it cames with Gapps
