Posted on by

When you search the web, you’ll find there are various posts about how to root your Infinix Hot 2 (running Android 6 Marshmallow) floating already, they’re almost everywhere, I wanted to do this long time ago but didn’t because I owned another smartphone, hence didn’t have time to play with the Hot 2 until now that I got to root mine and changed the IMEI with no errors.
Also note that rooting is now a more important thing to do on Android 6.0 if you want to change the Infinix Hot 2 IMEI.

I’ll try to make this guide as simple as possible and “perhaps” different from the ones you may have read else where.

    Not sure about that. Make sure you have a working USB that can connect, view and transfer files and folders of your phone on your PC. That's a sign of good USB.
