Hi friends,
This is a tutorial for rooting your Gionee Elife E7.
THIS WORKED ON MY INDIAN GIONEE E7 32 GB MODEL. I CANNOT GUARANTEE IT WILL WORK FOR YOU.

All you have to do is.
1) Go to: www.shuame.com

2) Download latest Shuame PC client.
Or
Google "ShuameSetup_2.0.2"
Install it, It's in Chinese,
choose your pref. Install location,
Tick the license agreement box (If unticked)
hit the BLUE BUTTON!

3) Now download the attached file from:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49775640&postcount=39
And don't forget to thank him!

4) Extract the "shuame_EN.exe" from it in the Shauame application directory
(Place where you installed Shuame).
It will ask Administrator permission to write to system directory, grant it.

5) Now launch the "shuame_EN.exe"

6) Enable 'USB debugging' in your phone.

7) Plug your phone into PC.
Now wait for a while till Windows installs the drivers, grant Administrative permissions when required.
When it's all done, it will install Shuame app to your phone and open it up, it's in Chinese, ignore it.

8) Once you see your phone's specs listed on screen, with your screen at left, Click on the "Root" button at TOP
(It has an Android with a Patch on it's right eye)

9) On your phone you might receive warnings from Google, tick the box and give it permission.
(May or may not happen)

10) Once done you will get a prompt on the screen confirming your root!

It installs an app called "Kinguser". Its similar to SuperSu or Super User, You can off course remove it using Ti Back and install your fav. root manager. But I would suggest sticking with it as it works just fine.

!!ENJOY!!

Sorry I do not have access to Indian Stock rom.
I believe you have to flash the rom's zip from recovery after wiping the user data and cache.

you have uninstalled some system app. re install stock ROM with flash tool and then try to update. though i would like to point out that the update is almost useless. it contains some extra theme and Fahrenheit temp unit only
