- Once flashing is complete, boot the phone straight into recovery mode using Volume up button + Power button (see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-479.html)
- The phone should now boot into TWRP recovery
- If you get a message like in the image below, swipe to allow TWRP modify the system partition. To swipe, place your finger on the green circle then slide to the right
- In TWRP recovery, tap Install
- Navigate to the location of the SuperSU.zip and select it
- Swipe to confirm flashing and wait till flashing is complete
- Power off the phone by taking out the battery for 15 seconds then slotting it back in
- Download the Unmodified Preloader.bin and Lk.bin for Infinix Hot 2 X510 at https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B9srKhKuV...t=download and flash it using SP flash tool
- Boot up the phone normally once flashing is complete
- Install Root Checker @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...heck&hl=en to verify Root; you should see a message like in the image below
- For subsequent reboots into TWRP recovery, you are to use ADB (see https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-11444.html)

Will I lose any data (like contacts) during the above rooting and unrooting procedures?
No you wont. The above techniques deal with only the recovery and system partitions, not the data partition. Only things placed or installed in /system will be removed. If you would like to backup (contacts, SMS, calendar etc) anyway then simply follow the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/blog/backup-your...er-backup/ .

(03-05-2017, 08:55 AM)kaebsong Hi all,
Can help me here? I`m trying to root my Infinix Hot 2 running marshmallow with above steps. But when i boot into recovery mode i didnt seem boot into TWRP recovery as shown above (the image). There were only options like 'install updates from ADb, from SD Card, root integrity checker, etc'
I already followed step by step, but still cant root my phone. When i tried to choose 'install updates from SD card and choose the SuperUser zip i downloaded from the forum' the notification said installation aborted.
Please help me anyone. I need to root my phone to recover some data lost on my internal phone. Any help will really appreciated.
thanks!

That's stock recovery
What's your phone's Build Number?
(04-05-2017, 08:51 AM)kaebsong my build number is X510-D5110-M-Androidone-20170118
(04-05-2017, 07:31 PM)hovatek(04-05-2017, 08:51 AM)kaebsong my build number is X510-D5110-M-Androidone-20170118
The problem is from your Build Number. Its higher than that the TWRP was ported from.
Dump your firmware in scatter format using Miracle Box @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
Upload the recovery.bin and scatter file
(05-05-2017, 03:37 AM)kaebsong Excuse me, but what do you mean with "Upload the recovery.bin and scatter file"
do you mean after i dump the firmware, then i need to start the process of flashing TWRP just like the very first instruction about rooting infinix hot 2 in this page?
