How to root Gionee S5.5

Can anyone tell me how to root elife s5.5 Indian version. I have tried vroot, kingoroot, shuame but none worked and shuame hangs when I click on root button

Hi friend, i have tried one amazing tool with i could root My Xolo X910, X1000 and Lenovo K900 all are intel inside. This was the only tool which could root these phones. i am 100percent sure that this will root Gionee S5.5.

i have uploaded a zip file of tool Impactor please download it and install as per instruction given on following page.

http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/

01 Down load device driver from their web site

02 enable "Adb" mode and start impactor it should root your phone within 3-4 Min.

i am doing this because i want to buy that phone, using it without root is not comfortable so please let me know if it works or not as early as possible..

impactor didn't detected my phone. You should buy another phone cause it heats like sun and average use temperature is 40 degrees and 50+ degree while gaming.

S5.5 rooted, w/ CTR

I had sucessfully rooted S5.5 over a month a ago.. to be honest, I'm not 100% anymore about the tool, but I believe it was Root Genius that managed to "break thru" :)

Had problems getting the phone drivers working, and the "regular" ADB still doesn't work for me.. I can, however, piggy-back on Shuame (I think it runs a "helper") - keep it running in the back and all other ADB connections will also work fine (MTK Droid tools, etc..). I also managed to port Carliv's Touch recovery.. the "touch" is not working ATM, but one can still use vol up/dwn & pwr w/o a problem :)

Good but I rooted my phone 3 days ago already however the process is so lengthy I will post it after my examination are over. I also have cwm for it in English working perfectly and 100% rooted. Thanks everyone here who motivated me to do something I couldn't do before. I think no phone can stop us from rooting it lol

Hi friend at least post some web link. Please post the tool name with the help of you rooted Gionee S5.5.

As per your reply i bought Lenovo K900 for my self. I rooted it and lower the CPU frequency to 933Mhz with this setting the battery life is dramatically increased and no more heating issue at all. I did this through "Rom tool box pro" u can buy this on play store. When ever i play game i increase the frequency and enjoy the speed and performance and for routine use i decrease the frequency. But my Sister wants to buy only Gionee S5.5 and rooting is must so please post the link or rooting tool name to help me and others.

Thank you

Download RootGenious from shuame(.)com/en/root/ ensure you have drivers installed grom Gionee website gionee(.)co.in/portfolio/elife-s5-5/ then connect the phone, turn on debug mode and run RootGenious. Done.

Remove the brackets in the links.

Hi,
I would like to make sure, have you tested this rooting method for Gionee S5.5? is it 100 percent working? please let me know one of our friend has already given some links but these seems to be really difficult for me so please tell me if you have personally done this with Gionee S5.5

Thank you,
Chandrashekhar

So the Android 4.4 update has arrived for the Indian Gionee S5.5...I'm unfortunately not seeing it as available on my Chinese Gionee s5.5.

Could anyone here potentially upload the update files, or even a stock Gionee S5.5 Indian (4.2) Rom?

Thanks a lot!
