    Your swift response will be highly appreciated. Regards.

    • Thanks for visiting Mary, the Lollipop update for Hot Note was not released on OTA all you need to do is get a pc and follow the instructions above to upgrade your Hot Note X551.

  • i have upgraded my infinix hot note 1gig/16 but wont load i have a problem….updated my phone through spflash tool to 5.1….but now my phone is hanged….from last 1 hours…its just showing XUI screen…..what should i do

    • John, sorry about that. Try this fix for your phone. Hold the Power button to turn off the phone and quickly hold the VOLUME+UP button + POWER BUTTON = RECOVERY. You should see a droid lying down dead hold the power button and press volume up to show the recovery options. Navigate to wipe data and factory reset click YES… Go back and wipe Cache Partition, Click on REBOOT SYSTEM NOW…. That should fix it, let us know if it works. Thanks for visiting.

  • Good evening I have a request. Few months ago, I tried flashing my phone to upgrade my infinix zero 2 16gb to lollipop. It didn’t work and my phone was bricked. I had to download the stock ROM and go back to KitKat and continue. The stock ROM I downloaded was rooted and I haven’t been able to download any upgrade because even after unrooting every time I upgrade it gets bricked. Or it will fail. I need the correct lollipop version for my phone to upgrade because the last time it told me while using flash tool that the version wasn’t for my phone or something like tha . Can you direct me to the right place. Zero 2 16gb ? I want to download it and not lose all my phone data. And also this stock ROM I think has issues because my Sim card sometimes could just not be detected. I can be browsing and then it displays Sim card not detected, minutes later it says Sim card detected. What do I do ?

    • Error Message: BROM ERROR:S_COM_PORT_OPEN Fail(1013)

      Meaning: SP flash tool encountered an error while attempting to communicate with the phone via the target port

      Solution:
      * Try using a different port on the PC
      * Install VCOM drivers using https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.html
      * Ensure the phone is switched off with battery inside before connecting to the PC for flashing
      * Try using a different PC
      * Try changing the USB cord
      * Ensure the phone’s USB port isn’t damaged
      This should help resolve your issues sir,let us know if it works.

  • Hello Ayoprroxy,

    I must say you are doing great job here as everything about the lollipop process is well detailed. However, my phone is rooted already, hope unrooting and upgrading it won’t brick my phone.

    I encountered error while trying to download one of the programs. The Sp Flash Tool download link to mediafire seems broken, it reported “Invalid or Deleted File”.

    • Thanks for visiting, make sure you uproot before upgrading and you can find the download links to Sp Flash tool by searching on Google. Will update it later in the day.

Note:my phone was rooted.

  • Why can’t the update put on the normal system update trend so that upgrading from kitkat to lollipop be easy? I’ve tried this steps of yours but nothing works, Am using a laptop with windows 10 for your steps, anytime i try, it would rather be charging the phone, i have everything in place in terms of the software to install before the process, i’ve root my phone and unroot it, debug it, i follow the steps, the flash tool never says or does anything when i click on download of the extracted file. Nothing happens

    • Have you installed the necessary drivers? If so, I have never tried flashing from a Windows 🔟 before… Try windows 8 or give it to an expert.

  • Please i left my infinix zero 2 for some time and when i got back to it, it wasn’t coming on. it was just flashing the infinix logo but it wasnt booting. What can i do please?

    • Turn it off and hold down the volume up when you want to switch it on, remove your hand from the power button when its turned on and keep pressing the volume up, now you should be in the recovery, press the power button once tapping the volume up same time, navigate to wipe data and cache, click reboot now… Your phone should be back to life, PS : You will lose everything thats on the phone. Lwt us know if it works, Gabriel

      • I have to use both volume buttons and the power button to switch off the phone… Anyways putting it on with the volume up and power button is not taking me to recovery, It just puts on the phone and it starts showing the infinix logo again

      • Hmm… Sir, pls am new to all dese stuffs and I am also tired of this kitkat 4.4.2 version of my infinix hot note X551 device.
