1. Yomiprof, when are we gonna get official lollipop OTA update on infinix hot note?

   • If you have updated to ANdroid 5.0 Lollipop, via the initial link flashing with SP Flashtool, you'll get another OTA update in due cause.

2. it writes error in the recovery mode… are you saying internet connection works in recovery mode… note, my phone is unrooted

   • You don't need to go to recovery mode… Inshort if you have internet connection on the device, it will download the update without your notice, the only pop up you'll see is the the one on the image above. After the update, it will update 87 apps on your device…

     so what are you doing in recovery mode?

3. Am trying to upgrade my own but its written error after some time in recovery

   • Hello Jide, just make sure your internet is turn on… so long the update is downloaded, it will do the rest job for you. The only thing you'll be ask to do is to restart or install the update. Click on install and in less than a minute, the update will be installed on your device and restart your device.

4. Can I flash Lollipop update for hot note to X507 with custom recovery.
   Secondly, pls can flashing with custom recovery work after unrooting?

   • Do you mean to say can you flash lollipop update rom for infinix hot x507 with custom recovery? No. To flash lollipop update, you must be running on stock recovery. The second answer too is No. You must be ruuning on stock recovery to flash lollipop update whether rooted or unrooted.

5. Prof, i have the phone it's not rooted

   can anything go wrong during this update that can brick the phone even though my phone is more or less stock phone without any tweaking on it?

   • Nothing will go wrong during the update. Your phone is safe to upgrade

6. Prof abeg make you help now,my Infinix hot 2fail to installed after av downloaded the software soft update its always displaying Android logo error ,I av remove my mtn line because you said that the will should download it with fast networkand i use 3G etisalat network to download, it still fail to install the update
   Can I boot it into recovery?

   • Yes you can boot it into recovery by Holding down the Power key and select Power off.

     Press and hold the Power key and the Volume down key. You should see the Android mascot on his back, a bunch of information about your device, and Start at the top right of the screen.
     To navigate through the menu options you use the Volume up and Volume down keys. The Power key is used to make a selection.

     Press Volume down twice and you should see Recovery mode in red up at the top right, press the Power key to select it.
     The white Google logo will pop up followed by the Android mascot on his back again with the words No command underneath.
     Press and hold the Power key and the Volume up key for around three seconds and then let go of the Volume up key, but keep pressing Power.
     You should see the Android system recovery options pop up at the top of the screen.

     But the one I updated this morning, I was connected thru a WiFi and it does everytn in less than two minute.

7. that's also what I'm trying to tell him… after the update has been downloaded, it will bring a notification to ask me to install it, after which it brings me to a screen where I choose restart and install, it switches off, goes into recovery mode "by itself" to install the update and writes error…. my phone didn't brick though…

   • I'm surprise though but when I updated mine in less than few minutes, I was connected to a WiFi and after the updated, all apps were updated automatically.

     I'll suggest if you have another device at your disposal, turn on its hotspot, and connect ur hot2 to its network then try to install the update.

8. I'm also getting error messages wen I tried recently and it showed error I went into recovery and the log showed update.zip wrong

9. Am having the same issue here….after downloading the update successfully…. Installation keep saying "Error" and am unrooted…any suggestion please

10. Yomi do have to revert the imei number to stock before in installing system update….. I wanna know if that's the reason mine is showing me error

11. If you have changed your imei before, why not revert back to your default imei also try wifi connection as prof suggested. I didn't encounter all this error ish when I upgraded mine.

12. Morning Prof.pls I just got my hot2 not long ago..I bid help in rooting it without bricking..and will rooting hamper my chances of receiving the andriod M update wen it arrives.thanks

    • Rooting won't hamper your chances of receiving Android M update at all… once the update show face, you'll unroot. However guide will be provided on this blog when Android M is available.

15. Hello Everyone facing that error messages while installing your update, here is the fix.
    I want to believe that majority of those facing that error update must have rooted their device as well alot of modification has might have been done.

    Here is the Fix
    ==>Go to infinix support forum here
    and download your stock rom back..
    ==>Install it with SP Flashtool if you are using a pc or you follow the guide on their site for Mobile device installation via SD card
    ==>The moment you install and reboot your device, you will see the OTA update again but this time, the size will be 9.3MB, download and run your software installation.

    Thats all… please if you are still confuse, kindly comment under this post

    • Thank u so much prof, but when i visited d site i found 2 firmware files below d flash tool, their is "Android 5.1 for HOT2" and "Android one for HOT2"…. Which 1 am i suppose to download and use?

    • Android 5.1

16. Abeg installation failure problem over and over. Draining my data anyhow…. Is there any other option for this installation problem cos I get it all the tym even my network is strong

17. This is b***shit…so I have to go through the stress of flashing a new ROM and all that just to install a 23mb update, thanks Yomi for tryna help though, just that I haven't done any major modification on my set only rooting and imei swap and am currently unrooted but still not working….and this download keep eating my data. I think there's something wrong with the update

    • Nothing is wrong with the update… the rooting stuffs changed alot of things on your phone.. the only way is to reload ur os cos that what i did and it worked fine.

18. Pls yomi how do I go about this Android installation.. The upgrade will download and ask me to click on imstall and restart .it will count to 0 and the phone will go off and when installation begins it will end displaying error …

    • Reload your stock os from the link yomi gav abov

19. Will the reload touch any of my personal file on the phone

    • it will wipe everything on your phone, so back up before you do it.

    • Honestly i hv downloaded all the necessary files required, but I'm just skeptical about it. I don't know yy

    • Its leading me to download mega via tf card??? Am I in order?

20. shd I unroot my phone bfor I flash the new ROM??

    • Yes, unroot before loading the update

21. Prof yomi i appreciate all yur detailed explanation.. Pls i rooted my fone and unrooted it back. I also formatted it..will upgrading it like that damage my fone(infinix hot 2)

    • it won't cause any damage to your phone in any way… that update is just a system update to fix some bugs.

22. I'm not talking about the update…I'm talking About the ROM which I downloaded from infinix help center via the link yomi gave. shd I unroot bfor installing it???

    • Hello Anonym,
      So long you are using SP Flashtool, unrooting or rooting doesn't count. But to be on a safer side, unroot then reload the ROM

23. The download is 802mb really large….na wa for this infinix oooo. I don't really have that mb right na..i have done factory reset over n over

    • Hello Desmond, obviously factory reset wont' work. You can reload the rom. Rom are usually large from 700MB and above.
