Thanks. I am a newbie, so I will carefully do that. Could You please share me the recovery file of it. And do I need to root before doing autoupdate?

@ronnie2024

I sent you a link to the recovery in PM. You can rename it rec.img

If you are already rooted you can simply:
Code:
C:\>adb push rec.img sdcard
C:\>adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/rec.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery_a
# dd if=/sdcard/rec.img of=/dev/block/by-name/recovery_b
# reboot recovery
If you are not, then you will probably have to use EDL since fastboot is most non-functional these days. Check my sig, learn about EDL.
Code:
C:\>edl /lpoke6.bin
C:\>edl /w /precovery_a rec.img
C:\>edl /w /precovery_b rec.img
C:\>edl /z
C:\>adb reboot recovery
Once you're there, it's time for a little sanity test.
Code:
C:\>adb shell
# start autoupdate
Do you see friendly text? Good.

Download the upx from the link above. Use DeBooxUpx to decrypt it. Take update.zip and put it on a flash drive or a micro SD card. Plug/stuff the flash/card into your reader. It should start and run happily, then reboot to new system. It will also overwrite your nice custom recovery. You can go back and write it again or just wait until you need it next time.

So what happened? I thought that I gave you the Go6 custom recovery.

You keep talking of different devices so I'm all confused.

You want to turn your international device to Chinese release?
Ok, The Chinese has already gone to 4.
Code:
Model:  Poke6 (Chinese)

Use the same procedure as above for Ronnie.

It might be good to use EDL to make a 32 GB backup as going to 4 might cause non-rollback-able changes to userdata.

Yes, of course. I've turned my Go6 from international > Chinese > international.

I guess that my custom recovery is working well enough to generally release.
It's attached it here labelled as zip. But it's not. Just use as is, rename it poke6-recovery.img

As mentioned, it comes up with a white screen. You can connect with ADB and proceed from there.
You can also go to stock recovery (I think) by typing "start recovery".
