The Gionee A1 (e.g A1 0301 V6107) is powered by the MT6755 (Mediatek Helio P10) SoC and runs on Android 7 (Nougat).
How can I root my Gionee A1?
There are two main steps:
Procedure
- Unlocking the Bootloader of the Gionee A1
- Flashing the Hovatek Philz recovery.img and SuperSU.zip
- Download either custom recovery for Gionee A1 below:
- Philz for Gionee A1 ported by Team Hovatek @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...N5a0U/view
- TWRP for Gionee A1 ported by Team Hovatek @ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...lCMUk/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

- Wait till flashing is complete
- If you are prompted to fix root, select No
