Everywhere you go, its Infinix Hot 6 X606 Red State. Its raining Red State!
Its only a few days to go before Tecno users realize that they’re not getting back their beloved fonts. Yet another deadline missed.
A few days ago, I was expecting fonts to be the matter that rattles the Transsion boys’ cages…then Infinix Hot 6 Red State came along.
What’s the Red State?
You would normally get a Red State error after making an unauthorized modification to your device’s software e.g Unlocking the Bootloader or flashing an unofficial (unsigned) file or firmware.
Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly
Your device will boot in 5 seconds
The problem here is that the Infinix X606 goes into a Bootloop (keeps restarting) after you download and install the most recent OTA update. The problem is clearly from the update because even those who never modified their OS got affected by this update.
Here are complaints from some affected users at the official Infinix Forum
just updated my infinix and the phone wouldn’t work again. It keeps turning itself on and off.

@vestor
I keep getting a message saying;
“Red state
Your Device has failed verification and may not work properly, your device will boot in 5 seconds”
It goes off and then comes back on with the same messages… It’s been like that since yesterday. I didn’t root the device, and its still under the warranty period. What do I do, Admins please help.
How to fix an Infinix Hot 6 X606 stuck in Red State after the latest OTA update
You’ll need to reflash the Infinix X606 firmware (or at least only the partition modified by the update i.e boot.img to save data) to revive this phone . You can do this in 4 simple steps:
Step 1: Install Mediatek USB VCOM drivers
Drivers are required for your computer to communicate with the phone via USB cable. The needed files and steps (text and images) are at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-439.html . You could also follow the video below after downloading the needed files.
Step 2: Download the Infinix Hot 6 firmware / stock rom
Download a firmware that matches your build at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23659.html . If yours is an X606D then download any of the X606D firmware.
Step 3: Loading the Secure Boot DA file
The Infinix Hot 6 has Secure Boot and requires a DA File for flashing. Download the X606 DA at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23339.html
You’ll be flashing using SP Flash Tool (download the latest version) so here’s how to load a DA file (after unzipping) in SP Flash tool.
Step 4: Flash the firmware to your phone
Follow the SP flash tool guide (text and images) at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html or the video below
Other options for flashing
You could also use Software Download tool at https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23709.html , any Mediatek flash tool, box or dongle of your choice.
