Good day prof. I have an infinix x551 cloned version which runs on android 6.0 marshmallow(fake as well). Unknowingly, before I came to discover that it was actually a cloned copy, I tried to degrade it to 4.4 os. Guy who did it used d real infinix ROM and now d fone is bricked. I downloaded 2 different ROMs from the internet and tried flashing with SP tool but I got error 5054 for d 1st file and error 4032 for d second. I tried flashing with Piranha box software and when I try to load scatter (preloaded) file, I get a prompt saying bad file, do not attempt write. Pls help me out. Thanks.

I took it to their office and dey said i have to fix a little crack on the side of the screen for 17,400 before they can fix it for me. So, i took it to an engineer in ikeja to service it. But it is still going off once in a while. The phone is just 8 months old. Could it be a software issue? And will flashing it solve the problem?
Thanks.

Hello yomi, my cousin is using a partner mobile KS1 with 512mb and 1gb inbuilt storage. but it keeps popping up with a notification that he doesn't av enough storage. he is using a 8gb SD card and all his apps are on d SD card. I'm guessing its d Google play services that is eating up d internal memory. what do u advise ?
No, its not the Google play services but the inbuild memory is very low. There are some system apps that takes in space, Cache also takes in space. the apps you run on it also takes in space, this alone is enough to pop out insufficient memory.
Go to settings>>Apps>>Click on individual apps and clear its cache except Google Play services and Google play store. The thesame for every other apps. once done, reboot your device and check if that pop still display.

Hello Romeo,
to fix your smartphone error, kindly reboot your device and it will be fixed. Otherwise do the below if error persist.->
Reboot in safe mode.
To reboot in safe mode:
–>Turn off your device
–>Press and hold the power button to turn on, continue to hold until the logo screen appears
–>Press and hold the volume down button until the reboot is finished
–>You should see “Safe mode” at the bottom corner of your screen
Once in safe mode, try entering the MMI code you were using before to see if the problem persists. If you don’t have issue sending the message at this point, then most likely an app you recently installed is causing the conflict. You can start by uninstalling the most recent app and go from there.
Thanks for the guide,
