HOVATEK ROCKS!
I was almost giving up on rooting this device. Thanks to you guys, I have a rooted Infinix x557 lite device not to mention the custom recovery bit.
God bless you!
For the sake of those who may run into problems I must mention that I tried using an earlier version of SP Tools and ended up with the device not booting and not charging. A bit of reading on this site led to manually disconnecting the battery which restored my device at about 60% battery. I had tried charging it overnight as suggested but that did not work. I had to remove all back screws and pull out the battery connector from the motherboard.
Long story short, when I used the latest SP Tools (v5.1648) everything went as expected.
I am now a happy owner of a ROOTED INFINIC X557 LITE!
LONG LIVE HOVATEK!!

@hovatek, Thanks for the good work. May I ask; is there an alternative recovery to the one used above? Though this recovery works I haven't been able to use touch in recovery.
