Infinix Hot 4 X557 is the latest model in the Hot series that was released late August 2016 by Infinix Mobility. The device is pretty awesome, sleek and durable, we even unboxed it few weeks back.
Today, we will show you how to easily install TWRP Recovery and Root your Infinix Hot 4 smartphone.
The device runs Android 6 (Marshmallow) pre-installed, although there may be possible upgrades to Android 7 (Nougat) for it anytime soon, go here for specifications and photos of the device.

  • Now, let's Root the Infinix HOT 4
First things first... 
N.B: 
** Rooting voids the warranty of the device, you root it at your own risk (we won't be responsible for any damages...blah blah blah). Don't mind the precautions, it's Nothing to worry about if you carefully follow steps.

**Most importantly, you must UNROOT the Hot 4 before installing any updates to avoid issues of bricking.
