Dump your phone's firmware in scatter format using Miracle Box @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-13347.html
upload recovery.bin and scatter file
(08-05-2017, 11:25 AM)Nicholaz I am familiar with miracle box. However, I noticed Gionee A1 behaves differently with miracle box. The phone reboots automatically each time I turn it off and connect to miracle box

MT6755 , wasn't expecting it to work.
Here's what you'll do
Download the MT6755 scatter file @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-12724.html
Using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-526.html , dump recovery.img and boot.img one at a time.
Skip the MTK droid tools part, you already have a scatter.
Obtain the values you need for the dump of each partition from the scatter file
physical_start_addr = Start
partition_size = Length
Let me know once done
Alternatively, you could download the firmware @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-389.html to extract the recovery.img

(08-05-2017, 04:03 PM)Nicholaz Please, I don't know much about the read back section of flash tool. However, I followed the instructions and I couldn't get past the part I needed to get some values off my scatter file from the download section. When I got to the download section, the boot image part has a value that had zeros all through and also, other partition also had zeros without any number in them like I saw in the example

Do you have enough data to download the firmware?
