  1. Thanks
    I recently upgraded my infinix Hots from 6.0 to 7.0
    But, I started having charging bug, it's very slow in charging, that's why I wanted to downgrade it back to 6.0
    But, I don't know how to use flash tool, and am afraid to do mistake
    I upgraded it from my settings, by local and selecting my downloaded TCARD file from my memory card
    So please, will it be possible to also downgrade it through that same way
    Will appreciate your help

  2. Firstly sir, you can't downgrade using TCARD and I think you're facing this slow charge problem because the update is still at beta state, but if it's not a beta update, you can still wait for your device manufacturer to roll another update to fix that. But if you'll still prefer to downgrade to a previous version and wait for a stable update, kindly follow the link below. Also I'll advice you to join the X-club fan forum so that you can ask questions and get quick response from people who might have encountered the same problem using the same gadget.
