Its the season of test Android Nougat (7) OTA updates as promised by Infinix. There’s been the Infinix Zero 4 (X555), Infinix Hot 4 (X557), Note 3 (X601-H536A1) and Note 3 Pro (X601-H537A1) which have received their test Nougat builds and now the Hot S (X521) but only for the A1C1 & E1G1 Build Numbers .
The Infinix Hot S (X521) has several builds as listed at our Infinix stock ROMs / firmware collections thread ranging from the A1, C1, E1, G1 to the I1. If you’re looking to install this Nougat update then ensure your Build Number matches else you could end up with a bricked phone.
Updating Infinix Hot S (X521) to Nougat (Android 7) via SP Flash tool or Tcard
If your Build matches then you can download the update below:
- X521-J5088A1C1-N-170505V10 (Scatter)
- Tcard_update_X521-J5088A1C1-N-170505V10

Important things to note before updating your Hot S (X521) to the Nougat test build
- Ensure your battery is well charged
- Take note of your Build Number
- Dump your firmware in scatter format using Miracle Box
- If you’ll be using the Tcard format (to be copied to SD card and flashed in recovery mode) then ensure to unroot your Infinix Hot S (X521) first
- For the scatter format, there’s no need to unroot. Simply flash using SP Flash Tool

I have an Infinix X521-5088AC-N-170602V34. I have updated into Nougat 7. My problem is still same in 6 and 7. Mobile data does not work properly in my phone. But when i make its hotspot and someone use it by wifi on other phone , internet speed is fine on other phone. Kindly suggest how to fix that issue
An update doesn’t necessarily mean all issues on your device will be fixed. Your trouble using mobile data might be due to a blacklist / data management app which you have installed. Look through your list of all installed apps
Thanks for reply. Sometime its work fine. But when problem appears, after restart mobile many a times, problem resolve. Kindly tell how to check black lise/Data management app?
First off, boot the device into Safe Mode then check if the issue persists
