Bros pls help, a pop up always cum up on my fine screen. Like launcher has stop unfortunately adobe or massage has stop. Keep on coming at intervals. Am using infinix hot1 wat do I do. Have done factory reset, hard reset. But d problem persists.
You can root your Gionee M5 easily even without Computer, simply use Kingroot to get it done.
MTK Engineering Mode should work fine for your phone even without rooting it, I don't think you have tried that MTK Engineering Mode, pls give it trial and if it also refused to get it done, follow this link instruction: shelaf.com/2015/10/universal-method…
There might be some temporary system data stuck there that's causing a conflict. Kindly restore your backup file, if you have it and if not, try wiping the system cache partition by boot your phone in to Recovery Mode and select "wipe cache partition," NOT "wipe data/factory reset."
Best of luck.
