Hello there! Newcomer!
Welcome to the Infinix Hot 2 XDA forum!
You're new, huh?
You must be confused by many things! like, rooting, etc.
Well, let me help you, to do some basic!
Now, let's get started!
Code:
I Don't responsible if there any damage(s) on your device becouse of this thread! YOU were the one who choose to do this.
1. When will this month OTA update come?
Well, for 2nd Android One Gen device, we will wait for Infinix (our vendor) to give the update to us, there is no ETA about this, but remember! we still can receive update up to 18 months!
2. Is there any Marshmallow stock rom?
Yes! there is! You can get it on @Mysteryagr post!
3. How do i get to recovery mode?
Sadly, the recovery button is disabled, but worry not! you can flash recovery button enablet via PC, it is located here
And boot to recovery by Power + Volume up
Or,
Connect your device to PC, and then
Code:
adb reboot recovery
And your device should boot to recovery mode.
4. How do i install OTA updates manually?
Firstly, you need to enable your recovery button.
BUT!
There is another option, use
Code:
adb reboot recovery
And your device should boot to recovery mode.
Now, you will face the Android logo with /!\ icon.
Press Volume Down + Power or Volume Up + Power, to show the menus.
Select install from sdcard, select the OTA zip file, and then flash it.
After that, reboot your device, done!
Code:
The boot may take so long, please be patient.
5. How to install CWM/TWRP recovery?
Seriously, you will not need CWM again, but if you still want CWM, you can search it by yourself in this forum.
- Enable the recovery button
- Download up TWRP
- Install it via Flashtool
- Reboot to recovery mode by Volume Up + Power
6. How do i root the device?
Work on both MM/L
- Download SuperSU zip
- Go to recovery mode.
- Install SuperSU zip
- Reboot
7. How to flash something via SP Flashtool?
Go to @Bolumstar thread Here
8. I can't install xposed!
Hey, this isn't KK and earlier. This is Lollipop and above.

10. how can i unlock the bootloader?
It's optional to unlock your bootloader, but it's highly recommended.
Well, let's go!
1. Enable developer option (Go to question no 11)
2. Go to Settings > Developer Option
3. Enable "Unlock OEM locking" (or something like that)
4. Press yes, if prompted.
5. Go to fastboot mode (adb reboot fastboot or adb reboot bootloader)
6. Go ahead to your PC, open up CMD (make sure adb and fastboot installed)
7. fastboot oem unlock, enter
8. Follow on screen instruction.
9. Done!
ANOTHER OPTION
Just flash THIS on TWRP.
11. How to enable developer option?
Well, it's pretty easy.
1. Go to Settings > About Device
2. Continously tap "Build Number" until it pops up "You're now a developer) That doesn't mean you're really a dev lol
3. And Developer Option is avaible above About Device menu!
12. How can i relock the bootloader?
Flash THIS on TWRP.

No, there is no news, Infinix are pretty lazy you know
Sorry I know this is the wrong session to post this but am having issues installing Xposed installer modules on my rooted Infinix Hot 2 6.0 January 2017 security patch...
I have installed the Xposed framework which is working perfectly fine but when I activate a module and reboots, my device is stuck at boot loop.
I have tried different modules still same problem I have to uninstall Xposed installer using flashable zip to get it to work...
Do you have a solution please
EDIT: Found the solution.. all i had to do was download the latest xposed installer v3.1.1 and download the latest framework v87 from the xposed installer app..... the v87 fixed the bootloop issue arising from the November to January Security patch of 6.0 android update
need Flashable zip for unlocking BL please.. the link is not valid anymore

I have J7 prime [SM-G610F] with stock andriod 8.1, samsung experience 9.5 and 1 November 2018 security patch will it still work?
I don't think so. I think the J7 with 8.1 is impossible to root? I can't seem to find an answer on this.

yes, I have made root in my SM-G610m with Android 8.1 and it was with TWRP, and I have learned it from YouTube and in Spanish language.
For now I do not have available Super User. I think this post will work for me

LordBaal19 said:
Which one do you recommend? At which point do I have to install it and then I don't need to install no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0?
EDIT: I think I finally got it. I did it like this:
1. Ok, so the phone as a fresh 8.1.0 system (just flashed the 7.0 and then it updated OTA in a matter of minutes). I enter the phone, enable the developer mode, enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debug.
2. Then I put the phone on download mode, flash the TWRP recovery disabling the auto-reboot on Odin so it doesn't boot to system automatically. This seem important since otherwise the recovery goes back to stock.
3. Then, to get out of download mode I press vol. down and power keys at the same time and the phone turn off. Then I turn on the phone into recovery mode, once in there I swipe into write mode and go to Wipe and select Format Data, type down yes and it says it's done. I go back to TWRP main menu.
4. I connect the cellphone to the PC and in storage I select Mount USB. Then drag the Magisk-v18.0.zip file into the storage that pops up on Windows. Then I saftely remove the device in Windows and go back to the main TWRP menu on the phone. I select Install and install the .zip file without selecting Signature verification or Reboot after is complete. It says is done installing and no errors seems to occur. I employ the button to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
5. I go back again o Wipe and select Format Data, type down yes and it says it's done, again.
5. Then I try to reboot to System, and choose to Do Not Install the TWRP app, and... SUCCESS!! The phone starts again, I config everything and then Magisk is there in the apps. I tried with an app that requires SU and it works!
Thanks for the help.

That's the way I have done it. But if you go on Z3X, select the device (SM-G610M), and you perform some activity like repair IMEI, Z3X detects the root, but it does not detect the Super User.

Thank you sir. Amazing is you, works great much better than safestrap and much easier to get into and out of. I hope one day im able to return the favor and help you out with something to make your life easier as you have done with countless people, much appreciated
Thank you so much for all the work you have done here and for injecting this phone with a much needed revitalization.
Now for the first dumb question, what can be flashed? ROMs? Custom Kernel? (Nethunter?) Any idea would ve helpful. Thanks again!

i thinks i updated to "G935TUVS8CRJ1" can i be flash on it?
Quick question. I just used this method to root my phone (v4 bootloader, CRI2 firmware if I'm reading it right). I had been looking at the post [Rom][ALL+CARRIERS_CRF1][Stock_Oreo_Hybrid][Safestrap_Preinstalled]. That one seemed like a good deal because of the followup post on Safestrap flashable zips, like Xposed framework, Extreme Debloater, Dual Speaker, etc....
I didn't consider that ROM because of the big warning Must Be On Stock CRF1, whereas I'm on CRI2 and this looked nicer anyway.
So, just to be sure I understand, now that I've used this method to root my phone I can install all those things and more by using this technique to get into TWRP on my phone. Correct? Further, I can use TWRP in this way to flash anything except a custom bootloader. Yes?
More specifically, all those ROMs listed over in the general Tools Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development forum that say "for G9350 only", I can use this TWRP to flash those on my G935T ?? Is that right?

Should have been aware of what you are flashing a bootloader update is always an attempt to patch something. Usually root related. It is never to benefit the user. The first indication to me would have been a 4 version jump in bootloader versions all in one shot. I warned people all along that a bootloader change would come one of these days and kill root. Sprint seen it months ago. Tmobile and Sprint can now have there cozy little relationship with one another. I feel bad for you tmobile people. Remember when tmobile was the friendly carrier in the dev community along with sprint as well now they are the most unfriendly carrier in the dev community.

Twrp gives you no more options than you had before. You cannot just magically go flashing anything you want just because you have twrp. You can run a stock rom and mod it a little and that is it
How do you know what bootloader you're running?

No, if your build number indicates that you're on the v8 bootloader, you're screwed for now. If you like the S7's features, you can grab an Exynos. Those you can root and modify to your heart's content. Plenty of custom ROMs available. It's not too expensive either. It's what I'm going to upgrade to, since I'm tired of this bull with the bootloader, and my glass is cracked anyway. Would probably cost nearly as much to repair as to just buy an Exynos.

That's a false positive by a single antivirus program. VirusTotal gives it clean on 54 out of 56 antivirus programs, and one of those is merely "suspicious," probably because it's a rooting tool.

9. In Odin BL slot choose BL_OREO_STOCK_G93*.tar for Oreo or BL_RESET_DM_VERITY_G93*.tar for Nougat and flash
10. This is important as soon as odin is done flashing and phone powers off immediately hold buttons to force phone to recovery
11. When phone reboots to recovery you will get no command error then when phone shows recovery options in black box at very botton it should say Successfully verified. If it says unsuccessful or failed then start at number 5 again. If successful and on oreo you are done.
12. If on Nougat and successful from recovery reboot to bootloader in Odin BL slot flash BL_NOUGAT_STOCK_G93*.tar
Beware If you update to new V8 bootloader then rooting and everything will not work. You will be stuck on stock possibly for good
Does the root help battery life/lag at all or does it make it worse like it did in Nougat? Thanks.

Thats why its called root/unroot. Root when you need to add a mod or change something then unroot when you are done

Hi,
Will this method of rooting/unrooting trip Knox and void my warranty? If so, is there any way of rooting my S7 G935V Edge without tripping Knox?
Thanks

Currently, I'm pretty sure it is virtually impossible for yout to trip your knox counter by rooting as far as I'm aware the only way to do so would mean you need to unlock your bootloader which cannot be done. Rooting your device will however disable safetynet and knox features such as but not limitted to android/samsung pay ect. This is why it's called east root/unroot though because once you unroot and if you didn't delete knox/google apps, it all should still work. The point of this is of course, so you can modify your phone with ease, then unroot and everything should work properly.
There is a major difference between rooting and unlocking the bootloader.
Just don't do something like attempt to install a custom ASOP rom or kernel that isn't supported by this device since it requires an unloocked bootloader.
I'm so glad I read everything before jumping into anything right away. Haha Verizon and Smart Switch are trying to get me to accept the new update to the V8 as we speak. It's funny how they always seem to have updates when someone like Jrkruse figures out how to let us actually do what we want with our devices. I have learned always read read read before doing anything to any phone unless you want to take an update meant to stop us from doing anything fun with the phones. Good job sir!!

Hello, when attempting to unroot using the supersu app, when i hit Full Unroot in the Cleanup section, the popup window warning about the unroot only has a selection of "OK" when I select that, nothing happens.
Also, the S7E root_unroot_abd_tools.z7 does not have a setup.exe that I saw, I am looking to unroot my phone that I followed the instructions for the S7_Oreo_Nougat_Adb_Advanced_Root_V11.zip method that you ended up moving that thread here.

Did you download the stuff from this OP
As per the instructions you use the root control app not the supersu app in the root control app under phone settings there is an unroot tab

I downloaded the files for unrooting my s7 edge oreoof this OP, and I downloaded the file for step 3 in the unrooting section of this OP.
The zip named S7_S7E_ROOT_UNROOT_ADB_TOOLS.7z that I received from this OP did not contain a setup.exe as well.
The actual root file and process I followed was from https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616

I know I'm asking this in two places now... but how do I prevent this? Which firmware version do I *NOT* Update to?
I've finally summoned the courage to upgrade to oreo with the advances in TWRP and such... so I'm assuming I have to flash to stock Oreo....... but which version is the one before v8?
How do I check my version of BL?

Easiest way... Settings>about phone>software info. Look at build number and baseband version. Count back 5 digits. Will either be a 2, 4, or 8
So if I install this U firmware G935UUES4CRH2 I should still be good to root correct? Also, is there any difference between the U firmware and the Latest non V8 Verizon firmware, other than maybe the Verizon bloat? I am running my phone on Verizon just wanted to see if there a difference between the two?

I'm trying to root my N6 but the process is a nightmare compared to the old ways I used to know. I followed the guide on this forum to successfully unlock the phone but there is no current root guide.
Device is n6f27m Android 7.1.1
- Chainfire failed (outdated)
- Nexus Root Toolkit couldn't auto detect phone settings and appears to have stopped updating around 7.0
- I keep hitting dead end outdated guides
- I've read some vague detail about fastboot install TWRP followed by SuperSU but nothing is clear
Can someone please direct me to a root guide or explain the process that actually works.
Three steps:
1) unlock bootloader
2) fastboot flash twrp
3) download root app and flash it in twrp
Magisk is generally the recommended root app these days.
I can go into more details about each step, but I don't know how much you already know.
