(15-06-2019, 11:23 PM)X3nonHi thanks for the replay.I realized all the methods in the link wasn't possible with the exception of looking on the phone's board. As I said earlier I have flash the phone before with a firmware which I didn't take note of the original firmware.(15-06-2019, 07:48 PM)mrlone1997 Hi guys, i have been facing very frustrating issues with my infinix hot 3 a.k.a x554 16+1 A2 phone.

do you remember the original build number of the device before it got bricked? if no, verify using the guide @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-16005.html

When I opened the phone I found some couple of numbers which I believe we could derive to get the original build number;
1. HL-W90918A1-MAIN-V1.0 (from the phone's board)
2. W90918A2
160408
16G+8G
(Phone's board)
3. 20160421A (Phone's cover)

download the X554-W90918A2-L-160801V2 firmware build @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-19907.html
then flash using the firmware upgrade option in SP flash tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html
(28-06-2019, 08:55 AM)mrlone1997Hi, i tried the firmware which i think it at least made an attempt which the previous ones i tried didn't. But it still didn't get the job done.(20-06-2019, 09:38 AM)X3nonThanks,i was away but i will try that and post the results here.(17-06-2019, 12:10 PM)mrlone1997 Hi thanks for the replay.I realized all the methods in the link wasn't possible with the exception of looking on the phone's board.

Now i get different error.
(30-06-2019, 12:52 PM)hovatekI have rooted the phone when it was working (which i believe didn't cause the problem), so i have teamwin TWRP 3.0.2 installed.(29-06-2019, 10:27 PM)mrlone1997 Hi, i tried the firmware which i think it at least made an attempt which the previous ones i tried didn't.

Lets put flashing a side a while.
1. Can it enter recovery mode
2. Did you also try a factory reset in recovery mode
3. Is there an option to enter Bootloader while in recovery mode
4. Since you've been unable to flash to the phone, have you tried reading into using a box (miracle box or your friend's cm2)?

your method of entering recovery mode i.e vol down + power is peculiar to spd devices, are you certain this device isn't a clone?
launch device manager on the pc >>
remove / reinsert the battery on the phone >> hold vol down button on the phone then connect the phone to the PC using usb cable
what does the phone get detected as?
