Hi, I just got my Blu Vivo 8 yesterday and I noticed that it had "com.gionee.filemanager" as the default system installed file manager. After a bit of web searching I noticed that Gionee was actually a phone company and one of its models looks exactly like the Blu Vivo 8, namely the A1, and has all the same specs with the exception of the cellular bands.
I'm fairly certain this is the same phone, with minor hardware changes for bands. Does this mean that things such as rooting for the Gionee A1 will work on the Blu Vivo 8?
Also it doesn't seem like there's a subforum for the Blu Vivo 8 while there is one for the Blu Vivo 8L.

Well that's great to hear. Unfortunately I sent my Blu Vivo 8 back as it was defective, and therefore cannot test this, but I'm sure someone will find this information useful.
Directly flash Blu Vivo 8 firmware to Gionee A1.

Follow Step
Unmark - preloader
first flash - userdata, system, boot, logo flash complete then
Second flash - recovery, md (all file), ik (all file)
then Start device.
Are you positive that gionee a1 stock will flash on vivo 8 ? Because i tried flashing it too many times ? . Im guessing bootloader cant be unlocked with fastboot commands . Seems to be locked down to me. I even tried using magisk patched boot from my stock and kept getting error status insufferable buffer from sp flash tool. And yes i have all kinds of versions of this tool. Basicaly got the tool flashing stock rom by theses steps below. "once drivers and stuff like that installed correctly"
*There should be only 2 drivers that will show back up after you connect the device, the preloader vcom which is first connection available without holding any buttons, and then Mediatek USB Port which is first connection available when holding the volume key(s), the USB mediatek port one is the connection needed to actually flash or read the entire rom, the preloader connection will only read/write in the preloader area and a small bit after before giving a BROM error.*
Commented by "+Steve Baughcum"
By Blu development team google +
If it wasn't for him i wouldn't know what i would of done lol i couldnt ever get the device to pass 100%DA red bar..
So basicaly i can flash stock rom of vivo 8 and get a read back thru tool. But cant flash patched boot " magisk" or gionee rom without it sayin error insufficient buffer

What of custom ROMs for Blue vivo? Will they work on Gionee A1? My device is currently unstable, frequently restarting and therefore unusable. Can I use the custom rom of Blue vivo for my Gionee A1?

Hi Developers, This is a request thread for custom ROM for Gionee Elife E6. The phone has some amazing hardware specifications but the Amigo OS that which comes with the phone has a lot of bloatware and lags like hell.
If some of you developers can look into this phone, it would be great. Please let me know if you need any assistance from my end.
Thanks a lot in advance

You can directly put Walton Primo X2 firmware in Gionee E6. It works fine. X2 is a better option if you don't like AMIGO UI and other bloat-wares.

flash the stock backup using Sp flash tool
I'm wondering where (if possible) is the stock rom 5.1.1. for the Gionee Elife S Plus, since mine comes with 5.1 (Amigo 3.1).
I already found two files online (Gionee_S_Plus_0204_T6006 and Gionee_S_Plus_0204_T6075), i flashed both and still none is 5.1.1.
In every review i check the Elife S Plus announces 5.1.1 available. Any reliable source so i can upgrade with stock rom 5.1.1 please?
I do know Gionee S Plus is also known as BLU Vivo XL. I would like to test some updated Amigo OS apk's found on recent smartphones.
Thx in advance.
This phone has another clone. Is ALLVIEW V2 ViperX+ http :// allview. ro/produse/telefoane/viper/v2-viper-x-plus-blue. html
That one comes with android 5.1.1 . Allview announced that next month it will have android 6. You get more 4G bands 1,3,7,20,38,39 and 40
The link for the Allview Rom is https :// drive.google. com/file/d/0BzW5Fd0dunhpM1hVamZxZkV6Zmc/view
When the OTA update at android 6 will come the phone MUST have the original recovery and NOT be rooted or you will brick the phone ... soft brick ... no problems there
Ps. I can not post external links. remove the spaces in my links
Since the Vivo 5 is pretty much a rebranded Gionee S6, does anyone think it's possible to flash software from that phone to our Blu phone?

It is possible. You can flash Gionee S6 firmware without any risk because the hardware is same.

Can you post quick instructions on how you flashed the Gionee S6 firmware? Do you have a link to the .zip file that you used? Finally, did you lose root and have to complete that process again?
