and infinix hot x507 are tired of waiting for Lollipop update since its already
available for infinix hot note. However, I’m going to share with you in easy

    I mistakenly select a Miui rom (that's not for my device) when trying to port rom to Comfort and when the phone prompted for a reboot, i clicked on it (not knowing i chose the wrong ROM).,

    Now my phone got bricked (Hard Bricked; as it's not Turning ON again)..

    i took it to an engineer and he said it will be flashed but he's not having the file for the hot note pro (but the one of hot note), that he had also contact his mates and they do not have that as well..

    Now i've downloaded the ONE YOU POSTED in this tut, i wanna ask, will the phone come up back when its been flashed with this rom using SP Flash tool..

    Also, is there any other way of reviving this..

    NOTE: the phone is still communicating with the PC and SP Flash tool as well/

    Looking forward to hear back from you pls..

      You didn't tell us the model of your phone. Well if your phone is infinix hot note pro, then flash this and it should come back to life.

    • Thanks for your response sir, YES my phone is INFINIX HOT NOTE PRO.

      I'd flashed it using the "DOWNLOAD" option in the SP Flash tool but it pops-up "PMT changed for the ROM and must be downloaded"

      The phone is yet to come up sir.., please what should I do?

    • Choose the option firmware upgrade + the download button then wait for it to complete… Make sure you've fully followed the process above.

    • Thanks so much prof, it worked after choosing the "firmware upgrade".. Now my infinix hot note pro comes back to life and also enjoying the XUI..

      Thumbs up!

  33. Thanks y'all for ur response when I opted to upgrade my device. So i Finally upgraded my device to lollipop 2 days back. Must say, I'm really enjoying the all new XUI on the infinix hot pro. Just feels like I got a new phone. One thing I noticed tho, the new update use up more ram space than the former. I bliv there should be a workaround as regards the excess ram usage. Please if u have any proven solution don't hesitate to share. Thanks

    • I can't see the image you sent. upload it to another platform. In your SP Flashtool did you choose firmware upgrade? also note that during the process, you are not suppose to in any way tamper with the process until it is complete.

      Waiting to hear from you

    • Hello friend, sorry about what you are passing thru.
      If your PC can still detect your Infinix hot note pro, and its visible on SP Flashtool, I'll suggest you repeat the process again as listed above. Hope you had stock recovery installed on your device.

  44. Good morning Prof. Please I want to run stock recovery on my phone "Infinix hot note pro", before upgrading to lollipop. I have downloaded the stock recovery from the link provided to the root of my SD card, I have mobile uncle installed on my phone but my phone is not rooted. and I tried to click on recovery update from mobile uncle and then choose the stock recovery downloaded. But the information I got is " please root your android first". Pls what is the way forward because I don't want to root my phone.

  45. You don't need to worry yourself with recovery stuff and root problem when you are installing/flashing Rom via Sp Falsh Tool Because the Stock Rom will take care of that for you…
    just follow the instruction stated in the post and forget about the stock recovery part and upgrade your phone….
    happy flashing/upgrading your baby Phone
