For the past few months, we have regularly been seeing updates being rolled out on the infinix hot note x551 phone running android 5.1 lollipops.
The update has basically been fixing bug issues and of course, bringing about more improvement.
During the course of the last update which was barely 2 weeks ago, one of the basic improvements I have noticed is the battery strength.
I literally could watch YouTube videos all night and just about 30% of battery capacity is what would be used.
This, I consider being really nice compared to other devices with the same capacity level. So, big ups to infinix for optimizing the battery on this one.
Another interesting thing that may not seem like a big deal to a whole lot of people is the change in the battery icon. I am a big fan of change and the new battery icon sorta catches my fantasy.
A few minutes back, another update popped up on the infinix hot note, and reading through the update description, it doesn’t seem like a major update.
But guess what, the update file is about 143MB which is pretty big compared to other updates we have constantly received.
Infinix HOT Note x551 running Android 5.1 Lollipop Update Description
The description reads that the update brings about the following:
- Added system manager app which includes mobile cleanup, app manager, network management ad harassment block functions
- A 3G-only option in network type selection has been added.
- Added sleep cleanup function to automatically clean up phone memory after a long time of sleep
- Added app lock function in recent app cleaner to avoid cleaned
- Optimized password lock and PIN lock input on the lock screen, directly entry when entering the correct password
- fixed the smart cover’s status bar display issue
- Removed the quick charge icon on the left of the status bar
- Fixed ringtone setting failure occasionally issue
- Fixed other issues from XCLUB fans
- Improved battery and system performance and fixed other issues.
Unfortunately, after downloading the update and tapping the install button, you will still face the error message we are getting used to on infinix x551 phone. ‘Unfortunately, System update has stopped‘.
Thankfully, we already have that resolved on this blog. You would have to install the update via Recovery and we already have a detailed tutorial HERE which should guide you on how to.
If you have rooted the phone, please make sure you unroot the phone and completely back up before proceeding with the update as it could brick rooted phones.
Good morning
My Infinix hot note is showing Android is starting…..optimising app
After counting 1-112,the phone will not still open.please what should I do. Thanks
Good morning Samuel, I’m using infinix hot note x551 (the 2gb ram with 16gb rom variant) and I upgraded it to lollipop. I’m having a couple of issues that makes me want to degrade the phone back to KitKat. But my major issue with the lollipop is that once you kill an app from the task killer, for instance, BBM and WhatsApp, you won’t be able to receive messages from them till you manually open these apps. If there’s a solution to this, I’d be grateful to be let in on it. Otherwise, please help me with the infinix hot note(2gb ram, 16rom) KitKat stock rom and its flashing process. Thanks.
Sir when I downloaded it first it said “package error check package and download again” then I went through recovery mode firstly I saw on android character with a red triangular stuff(dunno if I’m supposed to) then I tried updating from cache it said “installation aborted”
Please i wanna get Hot 2. I wanted to know if i Upgrade to marshmallow, before rooting (FOR D FIRST TIME EVER) . Will it get bricked? and with all the ”pure stock android” pple say abt Hot 2. Can it even be rooted?
Yes Joseph, it can be rooted. However, if you have no important reason why you would want to root the phone, it’s best you just don’t root it.
Thanks @sam for the info…I don’t think the file for hot note pro has been released yet..I’m very grateful
It has faithful. Check through the bbs.infinixmobility.com forum.

Oga Sam,thanks for the enlightening post.Please cab you help us with steps and the file needed to update infinix hot note pro cos u specifically warned us against using the one the post for hot note to avoid our phones getting bricked
Obende, same steps can be followed in upgrading your hot pro to lollipop. Just be sure to get the android 5.1 rom file for specially hot note pro and not hot note.
Yes Obende, using the HOT Note ROM bricked my phone. I could not wake it up after several days and back and front charging rituals.
Then, I came across the links to the HOT Note Pro here : https://mega.nz/#!1MVRkaxT!p2F0YRRiClkWyKQxTxpS6ZDwQCEsXyvqcNJUe1jTirw
