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.
How to upgrade Infinix Hot 2 to the Android 6 Marshmallow (1, February 2016) X510-D5110-M-Androidone-20160115 build using SP flash tool

Will I be able to install future OTA updates after flashing this ROMDump?
Yes, you will without a problem. The ROMDump is not rooted and runs on stock recovery
Hovatek….just a button away!
Please when flashing ROMDump, is step 6 really necessary ?
What is step 6?
Step 6 is the format option
Oh,in the sp flash tool guide. No, you do not have to format
Yes the one of marshmallow size is 836.6mb
Can i see a screenshot of the system update screen.
By the way, that looks like the february update which we already created an sp flash tool format for
I checked I couldn’t find it
Do you have any ota pending installation?
I checked the cache folder but i couldnt find it.
I meant /system/cache
My phone already downloaded the ota update but I want to flash the stock lollipop ROM because my phone is rooted and I don’t have much data to re download the ota update so I want to copy it to my pc so that I can flash it after I have flashed the lollipop ROM. So can you direct me to the folder where I can find the marshmallow ota update file on my phone.
Usually in the /cache folder. Install a root browser to access this
If upgrading from lollipop can I just flash this update directly or do I have to flash the first Marshmallow you posted first
You can flash this directly.
The first one was a complete January build. This is a complete February build
I just downloaded the android 6.0 from you and was wondering if it could work on both ram and if I was flashing if it should be download+firmware update and the boxes to tick. Thank you.
1. It works on both 1 and 2 GB RAM version
2. Use Firmware update
Should I tick everything?
Firmware upgrade automatically ticks everything
Sir, cant we do the update without using PC, eg via recovery mode, updating from SD
Yes you can if you have the OTA zip
Sir, the ROMDump, you posted is it not a OTA zip?
No it’s not. It’s to be flashed using SP flash tool
So can you help us with the OTA zip? Please
We’ll list it once we get access to it
Sir, I have downloaded the ROMDump. Do I click on download only or firmware upgrade on SP flashtool? Cos, i am already using OTA update of january 6.0.
Use firmware upgrade.
You should’ve received the OTA under Settings > About > System updates
Sir, I did not receive the OTA update, even the one i am using now i download it and upgrade via recovery mode. Should I go ahead and do the flashing, I am having infinix flashtool, can i use it, cos it dose not have the option of firmware upgrade on it.
You may use Infinix flash tool
Sir I upgraded to 6.0, but cannot change the imei despite mtk engineering mode. It shows everything, but no place to input imei.
Use chamelephon apk
Help, after I upgraded via OTA. My contacts name do not appear anymore and d power button responds late when screen timeouts
The power button lag after sleep is a bug we noticed in the January Marshmallow build. Have you upgraded to the February build?
Hello what’s the difference between this and the dump rom you had posted previously.?
Mostly bug fixes
