Good morning my reader, as for the infinix hot 4 X557 smartphone users, you will have been receiving OTA Update through system update since you bought the phone. If you update it frequently good for you because it makes the system more stable and efficient.
This morning, i got another update which was about 500mb and do you know what? My phone is rooted i can't go on with the update because, it will crash my phone and possibly hard brick. As for those that are yet to root their phone;


Go to system update make sure you have enough data on your phone now, start downloading the update.
Once you have downloaded it, it will pop up for you to install. Click on install then your phone will turn off and the updating process will start.

How To Install OTA Update On Rooted Device

There is no shortcut making the update works even after unroot it, some left over files will still distrupt the process. Then all you need to do is to; reload the Os using spflash tools.
