Firmware Go

For those waiting for the Android 6 update on their Infinix Hot 2,Infinix finally released Marshmallow (Android 6) for the Infinix Hot 2 (X510) . This update requires the phone to be running on stock ROM (not rooted) and also on stock recovery. Reverting the phone to unrooted state (stock ROM) and stock recovery isn’t difficult but the challenge most people have with the Infinix X510 is booting this phone into stock recovery since Volume up + Power and ADB don’t work. In this guide, We’ll be showing you how to bypass these restrictions and successfully upgrade your Infinix Hot 2 X510 to Marshmallow.

It is meant for both variants.

N.B: Upgrade/Flashing will Wipe your phone memory. Please Ensure you Back Up your device, especially Media files (Videos, Music) or whatevers important, back them up by moving the Files to your PC or remove the Memory SD card if you use one in your Infinix Hot Note.

Just ignore that by clicking OK.

According to my screenshot, I saved my Rom in my Desktop.
Select the scatter file with name - MT6592_Android_scatter.txt

Wait till it completely loads up on the SP flash tool programs.

4. On the SP Flashtool, where you see Download only, click and change it to FIRMWARE UPGRADE

7. When the Process is Complete and successful, Youll get a Check Mark in the Flashtool on your PC, now you can unplug your phone.

Power ON the device, Keep calm as this will take a while since its the first time.
