After much anticipation, the infinix Hot 2 x510 finally gets Android 6.0 marshmallow update. While we have published an article in regards that on this blog, we promised giving a detailed guide on how to get the marshmallow flavor running on your own hot 2 device.
While the update is being rolled out via OTA (Over The Air), most hot 2 devices are yet to get the update prompt and if you are not so patient in waiting, you can actually flash the OS to your phone very easily.
I’ve flashed the Android 6.0 marshmallow OS to TechsNG’s infinix Hot 2 unit and everything’s running well. You can see the picture below.
Please don’t mind the picture quality, the whole process was done in the middle of the night hence there wasn’t enough lightening.
