The Gionee M6 Mirror is powered by the MT6737T SoC and runs on Android 6 (Marshmallow). 

How can I root my Gionee M6 Mirror?

There are two main steps:
* Unlocking the Bootloader of the Gionee M6 Mirror
* Flashing the Hovatek Philz recovery.img and SuperSU.zip

Procedure

* Download Philz for Gionee M6 Mirror based on Amigo 3.5 ported by Team Hovatek @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...phNUU/view
* Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
* Extract and copy the Philz recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
* Unlock the Bootloader of the Gionee M6 Mirror using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-17892.html
* Download SuperSU 2.78.zip @ https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=457084094631642692
* Copy SuperSU.zip to both the phone’s SD card and internal storage
* Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide; don't forget to re-enable OEM unlocking and USB Debugging)
* When the phone enters Fastboot, load the Philz recovery to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter

Code:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

* Once recovery is flashed in fastboot, 
* Power off the device, then boot to recovery mode using the technique @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-479.html
* In Philz recovery, you use the Volume buttons to navigate and Power button to select
* Select Install Zip
* Navigate to the location of the SuperSU2.78.zip on the SD Card and select it
* Wait till flashing is complete
* If you are prompted to fix root, select No
* Reboot the phone normally
* Confirm Root by installing and running Root Checker @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...heck&hl=en

Check if you have valid baseband on setting>about>baseband, try factory reset if you don't. Then write IMEI see guide https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-116.html

The custom recovery method is currently the only working approach

Why's the guide "unstable" to you?
What's your Build Number?
