How to Downgrade Infinix Note 4 to Android 7 Nougat

This tutorial will be handy for those who have recently
upgraded their Infinix Note 4 to Android 8.1 but want to downgrade it back to
how it was before the upgrade due to the buggy nature of the upgrade. If you
can no longer wait for Infinix to release bug fixes for this latest Android 8.1
Oreo upgrade, then you can go ahead and downgrade it back to the stock rom.

However, its important you note download the Infinix Note 4 stock
rom based on your built number before you upgraded otherwise I may not be able to help you.
Requirements:
SP Flash tool (download here)
VCOM driver (download here)
Infinix Note 4 Stock Rom:
