  1. I am a regular reader (but not a commentator) on your blog Yomi, but I couldn't help myself. Infinix has decided to kill both Innjoo and techno with this move. If they stay steady rolling out updates, they will corner the Nigerian "Geekmarket". How are you doing bruv? More grease to your elbows

    Reply
    • @Sharrpguy, I doubt that techno will allow infinix just come from no where to upstart it. Besides how many Nigerians are even bothered by OTAs and lollipop? All they want is a phone to use.

    • I still don't understand you… If you flashed this latest lollipop rom for infinix hot note, you shouldn't even see or flashed an OTA update again… My question is, what Android version are you running now? or what is the state of your device.

    • Power off your phone and then press power button + volume up button to see if it will boot into recovery… if it does, you'll know if it install or not cos you'll see advance features

    • Hello friend, sorry about what just happened to your device. It's either your obstruct the process of during the upgrade or your USB got disconnected during the upgrade. This what normally happened if the upgrade process isn't complete or obstructed.

      You need to take it to CarlCare centre closest to you and it will be fix.
