My advice, next time when making thread about a device you know has different model and build number, write a warning that is it for a particular model or build number not to misguild people.

your comments are just laughable, considering that the build numbers of these philz recoveries was actually posted @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-16321.html

@X3non keep blaming me for your mistakes. I remember telling you i downloaded all different build number files yet it did not boot and u are tell me nonsense saying it would be an updated firmware or downgraded one.

i also remember replying you to check and verify your build number first, but next thing you did was went straight to flashing every single build you could find. even if you couldn't find your build number in our firmware list, you couldn't point this out? or you couldn't search for it or ask if anyone has it?
about what i said about firmware updates, it's funny how you'd call it nonsense considering you apparently know nothing about build numbers judging from your first post. rather than claiming to know so much take your time and try to learn something new

If you go to xda-developers you will see thread like "how to root samsung galaxy note 5 n920c not for any other model" but your thread is "how to root infinix hot 4 lite" then in the contents you say download philz recovery for infinix hot 4 lite. Now tell me who is to blame when you know the hot 4 lite has different variant? I was suprised to see a particular phone moder with different build number.

we've always indicated build numbers in all our root threads, you most certainly missed this in your rush to get root access or thought you had it all figured out after-all it's not your first time
and how can you say you are surprised a model has different build number when build number / variants has been around for years now! you just never stopped to ask questions but proceeded without caution

1. You said the build number was stated really? So what is the meaning of e.g? How can you post how to root infinix hot 4 lite e.g (build number)? Now, I don't know what e.g stand for. Okay fine it was stated, what about devices using other build numbers? What are their fate? Did you state it was for all or one.

2. It seem you are blind when I said miracle box refuse to detect the phone after trying all available option to make it detect it, so I have to flash all of them one after the other to see which one will work.

3. Go out and find any Samsung phone a particular model and check if it has different build number. I clearly remember I rooted more than one Samsung S5 (same model) all has the same build number so your point is invalid. Claiming to indicate build number by saying e.g haha pathetic.

Now take a look at the screenshots and tell me where you indicated it for different build numbers?

As you can see at the top is clearly says e.g for v68 and v173 when you want to download it.And you open your mouth saying all build number was indicated.

I love your reply.

If you go to xda-developers you will see thread like "how to root samsung galaxy note 5 n920c not for any other model" but your thread is "how to root infinix hot 4 lite" then in the contents you say download philz recovery for infinix hot 4 lite.

The build number was clearly stated there, you just didn't bother (or didn't know) what that information was. You goofed, just admit it, no harm in it.

So that is how you indicate build number by saying e.g at the beginning and something else when downloading.

Want to know what you did wrong? Let's re-analyze your case

First off, I would have recommended our magisk guide @ https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-21427.html . The Philz method is OK too.

I brick my infinix hot 4 lite when trying to root it following the tutorial from this forum, I install the provided philz recovery and it boot successfully but was unable to mount external sdcard so I could not root it

This sometimes happens (especially on older Transsion devices) when you flash a custom recovery but fail to achieve root before reboot. Its the equivalent of flashing a custom recovery without having disabled dmverity.

Note that the custom recovery did in fact work work (regardless of your build number) since you were able to boot into it. Your phone just got stuck at logo because root wasn't detected.

The fix is simple. Either reboot into Philz and root or flash back stock recovery.img for your build number

So lets see what you did instead

I tried install the boot.img and recovery.img but there were different build number so I tried using miracle box to get it but miracle box could not detect my phone. I had to download all the variant boot and recovery img and flash them one after the other but no one work, they all got stuck on the xos logo.

You went ahead to flash files for different build numbers randomly

This device appears to be the complicated phone I have ever root, how can a particular model of phone have different build number.

This shows you're not familiar with build numbers and is the origin of your mistakes. You then went on to say

Now i found out my build number is X557-H807B1E1-M-170405V166

I don't know how you confirmed this but if it is correct, why didn't you ask or look for files for this build number first? Why flash files for other build numbers?

Summary
The fault isn't even from the Philz custom recovery you're blaming, its clearly from your lack of understanding of build numbers.

Its OK to make mistakes but be humble enough to learn from them

1. Now you want to recommend another method? Why not state it on the thread. My fault??

2. Where was it stated on the thread that the owner should must/should disable dmverity?? My fault??

3. It seems you skip where I said I had to because miracle refuses to detect the phone. Yet non was able to boot the phone up. My fault??

4. Mention all the android device same model with different build number. My fault??

5. Like I said you skip where I said miracle refuse to detect the phone. Since your forum ain't reliable I had to pay to get the working stock ROM.

6. Yes it wasn't from the recovery but to misguided thread.

Go to XDA and see how threads are created with caution, warning and well detailed instructions.
