Gionee S Plus 6.0 Update Hovatek needed
(25-07-2016, 09:59 PM)Bullyman Greetings, the only custom recovery i know that works perfectly for Gionee S Plus is in fact, Hovatek's for 5.1 stock rom.
The fact is, 4 days ago, Gionee released the Marshmallow update for this smartphone thru OTA update (1,4Gb). The update works flawlessly and has good performance. However, it puts the stock recovery. The current Hovatek recovery is not possible to flash in Marshmallow rom, has the phone gets into bootloop.
I managed to make a copy of the OTA update file, however i do not see any recovery.img file. When i try to unpack system.new.dat is stops cause it does not find recovery.img.
Can this still be possible to edit or build a custom recovery with your team? I can upload the file, however it can take a while to upload.

I'm uploading the entire OTA file tonight, and will provide the link here in this post. Perhaps with the file on your hands you may work with it, as i have no skills in messing with recoveries, roms or port.
Hope it will work and help so many people as me.
Thanks in advance.
(28-07-2016, 01:42 AM)Bullyman The driver installed is the one provided in MediaTek USB VCOM drivers.zip file from the tutorial, named "usb2ser_Win764" in "MediaTek USB VCOM drivers\Drivers\USB VCOM Driver\Win7".
The device manager detects it as "MEdiatek DA USB VCOM (Android) (COM10).
The OTA file is available at: http://www.filedropper.com/56c0bb1793454...d68a4262a4
This file is UNTOUCHED, just downloaded it and made a copy from Gionee S Plus Marshmallow OTA update zip file.
Hope it can work to Hovatek provide a new updated custom recovery and root.
Thanks in advance

Does any of you have the Gionee S Plus? If so you could download the OTA file i uploaded and try for yourself. I cannot understand why i cant use miracle box successfully.
MTK Droid Tools can't find it either.
