@4Peace, I tried that method way before posting my problem here. Also if u have actually tried that link to google docs you would notice that android, usrdata and cache doesn't link to any file on the scatter text file and that issues out an error when using Flashtool. The trick is to edit the scatter file and remove those entries u don't have the file for but still that doesn't work for me. I'm not a noob so I have pretty much checked out everything that the Internet can offer and the only solution is for any nice Nigeria guy with a suppose stock Nigerian Firmware for E3 to extract his ROM and create a 'files_to_flashtool' using MTK droid tool. I knew my solution before posting here but since u guys cant help me out beyond COPY and PASTE ill like to say thank u to those who tried. If I eventually get it fixed ill post a solution here to help anyone who encounters the same problem and please guys stay away from Chinese firmwares!!!

TrebleChamp: Guys I want to do a nandroid backup, which of these option in screen shot should I choose?
To make a nandroid backup of your device
*1st install ClockWorkMode onto your device. I presume u already hav ClockWorkMod!
Now follow the steps to take
Nandroid Backup:
1. Boot into CWM recovery mode.
[Switch off ur device]
[Hold Power button+Vol up button simultaneously Until u see the boot logo]
[Now you are in ClockWorkMod Recovery]
2. Navigate to ‘backup/restore’ using Volume Down key and select using power button.
3. Select ‘backup’ from the new menu and wait till your phone performs backup process.
4. Reboot the device when it tells backup completed.
5. To restore this backup do the same steps but instead of selecting backup select
*restore*. Select the backup file in ur SDcard and wait for some time. You are Done!!!
Note: Always backup your current Rom before flashing any new Rom on your device.

Did u make a nandroid backup of ur stock rom?
Lets start 4rm there!!!
2ndly, Amigo ROM is the best amongst all custom roms available 4 Gionee E3 devices, followed by InFinitY HD. U might hav goten sumfin wrong while flashing the Chinese firmware. Flashing the Chinese firmware is just 5 clicks 4rm ur pc, its either the downloaded files were corrupt, or u didnt follow the instruction prudently(might hav skiped a step.
So dnt generalise ur opinion on the Chinese FW.

@Godvilla. I do have a CWM nandroid Backup up of my stock ROM. I followed all the steps, the only thing I didnt do was flash it with the battery inserted the first time, maybe that where the problem is but after flashing several times with the battery inserted I reckon it should have fixed itself.

First of all try to relax. I have flashed Chinese firmware before. Maybe na this same feeling the cause your troubles

I thought as much. U missed out on something!
Nevertheless, all hope is not lost.
All i need is ur *system*, *Data* and *Cache* files. Create a zip archive and zip all three files.
Please, endeavour 2 relax and calm ur mind while [size=14pt]playing[/size] with root files of ur device to avoid unnecssarily break downs.wink

[size=16pt][b]
1. did i called you a noob
2. also this tutorial i gave to you was my work but file by a friend(when i was in your position with humility not bragging)
i can tell you 100% that you dont try or did not follow the method rightly
if you read the procedure very well and study it there is not place i told you to edit scatter file by any trick.

Cool down
Thank God you are guru abi,Let go over it again

Just get ready your data,cache,system file from your backup(unless you dont have one)

when you open the Sptool and link the scatter file,you will see that android,cache,data is not ticked

Just double-click on let say Android and link your system file from your backup
Do same for data,cache
Note--- android is system file
cache is cache
data is data
forget about the extension that .tar,or .img

if you link everything accordingly, when you flash it

boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup or restore only system thru advance restore on your CWM
After wipe your cache
wipe your dalvik cache,
reboot
wait for like 1 minute,your phone should be alive.
Also Note
Flashing thru sptool requires no battery but the rest should be done with battery on.

Guys, don't get me wrong, im not been rude here but before posting here I had a solution in mind after going through a lot of forums, especially XDA and still was not able to recover Mª3a bricked phone. So posting links to already visited threads or video links is kinda frustrating. @Godvill. I don't know the file system structure of your own backup but mine is MD5 encrypted except for the boot and recovery img files, I though of brute forcing it using Cain and Abel but it will take almost forever considering Mª3a word list is limited. Since u say all I have to do is map the tar files on SP flashtool 'no wahala' ill give it a try. Im a Linux user and windows on virtual machine doesn't detect Mª3a phone so when I get Mª3a hands on a Windows system ill give it a try.
Re: Gionee Elife E3 Discussion Thread by malone5923(m): 6:43am On Sep 04, 2013
NOTE: I didn't use PDAnet to detect Mª3a phone but rather I installed the USB Vcom and preloader driver for it, maybe that is where Mª3a problem lies, but I hardly doubt that since the whole point of the software was to detect the phone when switched off or perhaps it contains some extra feature that helps with the flashing process.

1.5 dual core is better. It has a higher processor speed which is very efficient for gaming plus alot others. Forget about the no of cores. The only way 1.2ghz would match 1.5ghz is if it has an octa core (cool
