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

(17-03-2017, 10:35 AM)eliotargy 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).
