  • Jaineil Ajmera

    Does this rom work on a rooted Gionee Pioneer P4?

    • No @jaineilajmera:disqus, never ever do that. The ROM’s listed above are only for Micromax Canvas HD A116. Flashing any of the above ROM will brick your device, rendering it useless.
      To flash a ROM you have to check whether that ROM is made for your device. Flashing any other ROM will cause it to brick.

      • Jaineil Ajmera

        If I will never get kitkat update for this device, I will sell the device at olx.in for 7400 and the device is just 20 days old with warranty. I have still not rooted. I just wanted to know whether I can install the rom or no?

        • No. The above ROM’s, if flashed will render your device useless.
          I searched for ROM’s for your Gionee P4 but didn’t get.
          Getting a KitKat update from Gionee is almost impossible.

          • Jaineil Ajmera

            Okay. Thank you so much for helping me. I will now sell this device on olx.in and get XOLO Q1000 Opus which already has got the Kitkat update.

          • Most welcome. Yes Xolo Q100 Opus has received the KitKat update.

  • RAJNEESH PANDEY

    Hey Buddy m rajneesh pandey n m using micromax canvas hd (A116) n i want to use ios custom rom in my cell pls suggest me the link to download the rom

    • Hi Rajneesh,
      This isn’t possible. iOS is a different platform from Android and isn’t open source. There’s no such Custom ROM which gives iOS UI and features.

    • Black Dough

      Go for “IOS LAUNCHER”

  • Arun Kadyan

    phone and start it again with volume up + power key
    second if the above recovery is same ….then there is no dalvik cache
    option in that
    and also no option of “Install Zip from SD Card” is there………. there is a
    option of “install updates from SD card” …..
    so i want your help to know that how can i install s4 ROM in my canvas
    HD…….
    and also if there is any ROM of note 3 for canvas HD…….. i will be
    pleased….
    .
    .
    my device is surely rooted……

      • @arunkadyan:disqus, chill man.
        You have to unroot your device and then root it again. There might be some issue with rooting.
