The procedure to root Infinix X627 (Smart 3 Plus) is just like that of the Tecno Spark Go KC1<\/a>; patching recovery.img instead of boot.img. Root gained via this technique is temporary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you proceed, you’ll need the stock recovery.img for your build number (located at Settings > About > Build Number). You can check our Infinix X627 Smart 3 Plus stock roms<\/a> page. If you can’t find your build number then you either request or backup your phone’s firmware (we have several tutorials on that).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning: You might lose network detection. Rebooting fixes this…but then you lose root \ud83d\ude42 .<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to gain temporary root in Infinix X627<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Setup ADB & Fastboot<\/a> on your PC<\/li>
  2. Unlock your bootloader<\/a> (don’t worry about the Orange State error)<\/li>
  3. Download the Infinix X627 stock recovery.img<\/a> for your build number<\/li>
  4. Patch the recovery.img using Magisk Manager as explained here<\/a><\/li>
  5. Rename the patched recovery image to recovery.img then copy into the ADB folder<\/li>
  6. Get the phone into fastboot then launch command prompt (for fastboot commands)<\/li>
  7. Flash the recovery image using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img<\/strong><\/li>
  8. Once the flash is done, hold the Power button + Volume up button till the phone goes off <\/li>
  9. When the phone goes off, release the Power button immediately but keep holding the volume up button<\/li>
  10. Once you see the boot logo (Tecno), release the volume up button<\/li>
  11. The phone will boot up and you should have temporary root.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
