Gionee S6s is a Mediatek MT6753 powered phone running on Android 6 (Marshmallow) . This guide will explain how to root this device.
How do I root a Gionee S6S Android phone?
- Download TWRP for Gionee S6s ported by Team Hovatek at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4S-Z72...J2RU0/view
- Setup ADB and Fastboot on the PC using the guide at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-588.html
- Extract and copy the TWRP recovery.img into the same folder as the fastboot.exe and adb.exe
- Unlock the Bootloader of the Gionee S6s using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-15545.html
- Download SuperSU 2.76.zip at https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B_-waNKLv...t=download
- Copy SuperSU.zip to both the phone’s SD card and internal storage
- Connect the phone to the PC via USB cord while switched On and boot it into Fastboot (as instructed in the Bootloader unlock guide)
- When the phone enters Fastboot, flash the TWRP recovery image to the phone by typing the command below then pressing Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img- Once recovery is flashed in fastboot, hold the Volume up + Power button and don’t release till the phone reboots. When it does, select Recovery from the list
- In TWRP, if you get a prompt asking you to swipe to allow modification of the System partition, tap KEEP READ ONLY
- If TWRP offers to root the phone, select NO
- In TWRP recovery, tap Install
- Navigate to the location of the SuperSU2.76.zip and select it
- Swipe to confirm flashing of SuperSU.zip and wait till flashing is complete
- Reboot the phone normally
- Confirm Root by installing and running Root Checker @ https://play.google.com/store/apps/detai...heck&hl=en

Here is the twrp I used https://www.needrom.com/download/twrp-for-gionee-s6s-2/
Here is the stock rom that you can write imei if lost by any chance
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bz-6ouCql...3J1Zllvak0
Please not that there are more than 3 different versions of the s6s rom online, but only the above one could allow me to restore a nandroid backup of nvram and nvdata, the rest will restore but still your imei will be blank, also you can't write imei using SN Writer or Maui Meta, even using mtk engineering mode or even Chamelophon

The phone runs android marshmallow that supports systemless root so a backup of its system won't be rooted
But here's the stock rom
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bz-6ouCql...3J1Zllvak0
And twrp recovery
