A few days ago, Team Hovatek dropped the ROMDump (SP flash tool format) for the Infinix Hot 2 Android 6 Marshmallow (January 1, 2016) X510-D5110-M-Androidone-20160107 build. The February 1, 2016 build is now available (to upgrade OTA, navigate to Settings > About > System updates) and we have also created a ROMDump for it.
Note: This is not an official firmware from Infinix. Team Hovatek dumped the firmware of our copy of the Infinix Hot 2 X510 which had been successfully upgraded to Marshmallow (Android 6.0) OTA.

@Hovatek & hot 2 users who are actually
having an hectic time booting into recovery especially with the marshmallow ROM.
I’m telling u guys its very possible booting your marshmallow hot 2(February build) into recovery without ADB.
As usual with button combo power + vol+
Turn off your phone,hold the vol+ & power button simultaneously,once you see the infinix logo release the power button & tap on the vol+ button 3,4 or 5 times very very fast. I mean VERY VERY fast.
Bingo you’re on recovery.
I’m hoping it works for all because that’s what I’m using.
NB:before complaining make sure your ROM was downloaded from the hovatek link pasted above.
Thanks for sharing
Its causing NVRAM WARNING: Err = 0x10 on the wifi, what can I do to remove that, without rooting the phone if possible
See https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-117.html
so its not possible without rooting the phone… okay thank you
does the power+vol up boot works on it ?
No, you’re to use https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-boot-into-stock-recovery-on-the-infinix-hot-2-x510/
Hello, after flashing the ROMDump with SP flashtool, my phone boots up completely but is stuck at a blank screen and a small scrolling message at the top saying I should input Privacy protection password to unlock. I have never set privacy protection password before. Even so, tapping on the screen does absolutely nothing and I can only use the emergency call function.
I then tried to install the January build with the stock recovery only to get the same problem as above. Please what could be the cause of this?
Note that I have successfully flashed marshmallow on the phone on previous occasions but had to revert to lollipop for some reasons. Please help.
See the Privacy Protection Fix at https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-1138.html
That link takes me to a thread if Tecno stock ROM downloads. How does that help me?.
Found the right thread anyway. After flashing the stock ROM, can I reflash this marshmallow romdump?
Sorry, that was an error.
Yes, you may flash it
