To successfully unlock the Bootloader of the Gionee M6 :

* Backup your important stuff as unlocking the Bootloader wipes your data
* Enable USB Debugging on the Gionee M6  (see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-10109.html)
* Enable OEM Unlocking under Settings > Developer options
* Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC (see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html)
* Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord (while On)
* Launch ADB
* In ADB, run the following command (press Enter after the command)

Code:

adb devices

* ADB should detect the device. If ADB detects other devices but not the Gionee M6  then it must be an ADB clash, see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-10111.html
* Once the device gets detected, boot it into Fastboot by running the following command (press Enter after the command)

Code:

adb reboot-bootloader

* The phone should now enter Fastboot (black screen with only fastboot written at the top or bottom)
* In Fastboot, run the following command (press Enter after the command)

Code:

fastboot oem unlock

* You should get a prompt on the device asking you to confirm Bootloader unlock, press the volume up button for Yes
* You should now get a success message
* Reboot the device by running the command below (press Enter after the command)

Code:

fastboot reboot

If you wish to root your Gionee M6 after unlocking the Bootloader then follow the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17423.html

I'm sorry but this does not work. Firstly, "fasboot reboot" does not reboot the phone. If you turn it off manually and restart it you get an error message: "Phone is unlocked and can't be trusted. Will reboot in 5 seconds." It then reboots itself and goes into a loop. I think you should revise these instructions.

Just because it didn't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't or won't work for others.
BTW, I think you're taking your bricked Gionee M6 issue a little too far. You've made your point and its been taken note of. We're on the lookout for Builds that behave differently (like yours).

How long should it take for the phone to reboot after unlocking?
