I’m going to make this a little bit easier for those who
have successfully upgraded their Infinix hot 2 X510 to Android 6.0 but want to
downgrade it back to Android 5.0 or Lollipop 5.1 due to some of the bug on the Android 6.0. If
you can no longer wait for infinix to release bug fixes for this latest Android
6.0, then you can go ahead and downgrade it back to Android 5.1 or 5.0 stock
OS.

Finally, go to Settings >> About to confirm that your Infinix Hot 2
X510 is now running on Android 5.0 or 5.1 depending on the Rom you
downloaded.
Hot2 Users should wait for A bugless ROM. I'm sure Infinix will still come good on this Marshmallow issue as they did concerning Lollipop.
Infinix should release a patch update for these people, they can't say they aren't aware of the complaints about the Android 6.0 having bugs.

Well done Mr. Yomi. is there any other way I can upgrade my Infinix zero to lollipop without using system, because my phone doesn't connect to system again even after resetting my phone several time. I even changed the phone port. please, help me out.
but please oga do i have to extract the rom first
Mr YomiProf, i was not able to create a scatter file …. i tried using MTK Droid Tools but my IMEI aint showing….. It says
"In system already available: Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32
—>>> Connect to device <<<—
— ERROR : — TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!
— Unknown ROM structure, backup NOT possible!
ATTENTION! File /system/recovery-from-boot.p which restore factory recovery in case of phone switching on in a normal mode Is Found! "
Hello Sam,
You are not suppose to create anything… Your task is to download the rom of your choice from the above link, unrar it and you'll see the scatter file inside. Except if you want to create your own separate scatter file.

I also downloaded the other stock ROM and I get this during the stage of final "firmware upgrade" ….. Please kindly look into this ASAP as my phone is completely dead and doesn't come on again but it responds to the download process of "firmware upgrade"
thanks in advance
