Yes I have flashed custom recovery, TWRP
Hi Admin, I followed one of your tutorials on how to unlock bootloader and I’ve done all I’m required.But I have a problem with the final step where I’m supposed to press the volume up key to confirm but the volume up key doesn’t work. Please your assistance well appreciated. I’m using infinix hot 2(x510) thanks
That doesn’t work on X510
Please how do I go about it when I intend flashing a custom rom
you don’t need to unlock bootloader to flash a custom ROM.
Have you flashed a custom recovery to the phone?
Please I have done that … TWRP
Then just flash your custom ROM
Admin thanks for the assistance, I just flashed xui custom rom
