Previously, we pulished an article on how to fix your Infocus Android phone if it crashes or bricks resulting from your use of the in built firmware update system (OTA). In this article, you’ll learn how to flash your device with it’s stock rom manually.
This guide covers two different firmware flashing methods. The first method will teach you how to flash your device firmware without having having to boot into recovery mode, while the second guides you to flash the firmware manually via recovery. One good thing about Infocus devices is that, you don’t need a PC to flash your device firmware package.
Now before you go ahead, it is very important to charge your device to at least 50% before trying to flash any stock firmware or custom rom.
How to flash Infocus firmware
Before using any of the methods provided below to flash stock firmware on your device, make sure you have already downloaded your device specific firmware. If you have not, visit Collection of Infocus device firmware to download for your device.

Step Three: Dial this code * # * # 874 # * # * and click/tap Enter.
Step Four: Your phone will start installing the firmware package. On the pop up screen, click “understand and agree” then select “Install Now”
Step Five: Be patient and wait for the phone firmware update / flashing procedure to complete. Do not shut down or remove the phone battery as this could brick your device.
Step Six: Done. Reboot device to complete.
Note: If your device is encrypted, please perform a factory reset before flashing stock firmware.
Method #2
Step One: Download firmware for your device from the list above, rename to update.zip and copy to SD card via USB cable or card reader.
Step Two: Insert the memory card into your phone, and boot into recovery mode.

I had rooted my infocus with kingroot but now I came to know that for flashing a custom recovery in phone ,I have to unlock my phone’s bootloader
So want to know how to unlock the bootloader and flash the custom recovery like twrp or cwm in infocus m350 (lolipop)

Enable OEM unlocking from settings menu, then run fastboot OEM unlock command via command prompt. Note that you need to have installed adb drivers and relevant package.

i have a rooted infocus m260 device and it’s now hang on logo, can you help me?
Please tell, How to enter into recovery mode ..in infocus m680….
If the volume combination doesn’t work for you, use adb command.
adb reboot recovery
..from command prompt on your Windows PC.
Try booting recovery mode via ADB:
adb reboot recovery
While your phone is turned on and connected to a Computer.
my phone infocus m370i is not going to recovery mode …i tried everything
1)vol up power key (infocus logo come and switch on)
2)vol down power key(infocus logo come and switch on)
3)vol up vol down power key( infocus logo and switch off)
It seems like the update did not successfully complete. Re-flash the update package and see if it fixes the error!
After i am completed method 2 .after restart raise error msg and restart i.e.unfortunately your andriod has stopped media….
Plug the phone's charger to a power source and connect to the device. Wait for a few minutes and see if charges.
If it does, try booting up the device by holding volume up and power button simultaneously. It should still be connected to the charger.
If nothing shows up on the screen the entire time, please consider posting in the forums section for further assistance. https://forum.leakite.com/forum-17.html
it doesnt turn on..i cant go on fastboot or recovery mode either..keep on pressing buttons but nothing happens.i checked it on device manager it detects it as unknown device.though i already installed usb driver.
Yes, it can be revived. Just copy the update file to your external sdcard via a card reader or a different phone, insert the sdcard to your phone now and use a file manager (es file explorer or X-plore) to copy the file to your device internal storage.
Once done, try flashing from recovery mode.
i connected my m210 to pc and this time it didnt detect it..i cant open it anymore.does it still have a chance to be revived.
Please verify using a file manager that the file was properly copied to your internal sdcard root (/sdcard/…), then try flashing from recovery mode.
I put it in my sdcard at first.then dialed and file not found.now i put in my phones storage stil not found.they have both containing the same file

If you have problems flashing via Windows 8, look for a Windows 7 PC or downgrade. You can temporarily install Windows 7 on a different partition though.
If you have Windows 8,8.1, or 10 live CD or ISO file, I can guide you on how to install NET framework.

You don't need fastboot to flash the update file, but recovery.
Are you sure you have properly installed ADB / Fastboot drivers on your PC?
Phone not show in fastboot mode
Please help me in step by step guide
in fastboot it not shows juat shows waiting for devices
Alternatively, allow your phone to continue in the boot loop. Then do the following:
Connect your phone to computer and while it's about to reboot, or few seconds after it boots up type adb reboot recovery and this should get you to recovery mode. But this has to do with trial and error, so just keep trying until you get it right.
Since you can access download mode, connect to PC and erase via fastboot. After that, try booting to recovery mode again.
Please recommend amd tool that work in download mode because my phone have only download mode…
i use software update tool but this emergency download mode not working only normal download mode works show update finished but my phone fixed. Please help me.
my phone Infocus M370i is in bootloop and not going to recovery mode how to fix it. only going to download mode
What device and model exactly? Explain more so I can understand and assist you.
hi colliins,
Any update for firmrware update ??
Place the zip file in the root directory of your internal storage… That is, /sdcard of phone storage.
This firmware package cannot be flashed via spflashtool. At this time, the methods above are the only only available means to flash infocus firmware. Though the boot image contained can be flashed via fastboot.
If your device is stuck in a bootloop, you should be able to access the stock recovery to flash this firmware with.
Unroot your device using this guide then try updating it again.
collins can u tell me where i have to put zip file in phone storage or memory card storage.
i rooted my infocus 370i and i can't updte my phone please help me
Does it can flash the firmware using sp flash tool without this 2 method… if the phone is dead or bootloop then how to flash the phone??
Meo, before you attempt entering recovery mode on your M808 device you need to be sure that a recovery is installed already (stock or custom).
To learn how to flash TWRP on your device, please click here. If you prefer CWM, I'll provide an easy to use guide for flashing it on your device soon.
I haven't succeeded in entering recovery mode on InFocus M808, with nor Method #1 nor Method #2.
(I have rooted it with NewKingroot, confirmed by several root checker apk apps).
Now I'd like to have custom recovery, cwm, twrp, whatever installed in the M808.
I hear that InFocus M808 is bootloader-locked.
Is it necessary to unlock bootloader to have custom recovery installed in the M808?
Please HELP.
The one posted above is the official stock marshmallow firmware from Infocus. It just happens to be either broken or contains incomplete files. I believe Infocus is working to fix it. Just be patient.
Is there any update about Infocus 370i Marshmallow.. Is the update has offically launched or not ?
Please do something about Infocus M370i marshmallow update file.
Installation is getting aborted.
Power of your device then try volume down + power button or volume up + power button. One should work on you device
Not the files bro, the .zip package itself.
how you opened recovery mode
where we have to copy files in root folder i.e. into root folder or firmware folder
Ok bro
You need to be patient bro. If the firmware package is missing some files, that's something that has to be fixed by Infocus, not me.
I just passed a message across to them; probably the file will be fixed and re-uploaded anytime soon.
Any news?
Please help me out!
Now what Should I do…
I'll have to contact Infocus because that seems to be an error from the firmware package. Not your device.
I'm sure the download is not broken, recovery is showing a error message like some unexpected contents in modem/image/cmnlib.b01
Post the error messages displayed here please.
Are you certain that your download was not broken?
Did you check in system/apps and system/priv-apps ?
Recovery is showing some error messages.
Suvajit, before throwing that question you should verify from the link you downloaded the firmware already. It's directly from Infocus.
My device is not encrypted and I have also done factory reset
If your device is encrypted with any form of security, disable it, reset the device then try flashing again.
Did you get the firmware right! Cause when I opened the the firmware using a file manager I found no apps in system folder…
I did but I am getting the same
And also used the first method but the same…
Try using the first method.
I used the second method but installation is getting aborted.
I have method!
