Infinix Hot 10i X658B Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
This guide provides the official stock ROM, flash tool downloads, and a complete walkthrough to restore your Infinix Hot 10i X658B to working condition.
I have handled Infinix phones enough to know that the Hot 10i X658B comes in often with bootloop issues or stuck logos. I have put all the files and steps in one place here. One thing I always suggest is extracting the firmware to a simple folder like C:FirmwareX658B. SP Flash Tool can struggle if the path has spaces or special characters. It is a small detail, but it saves a frustrating few minutes wondering why the tool is not loading the file.
The Infinix Hot 10i X658B runs on a MediaTek MT6761 Helio A20 chipset, which means you will use SP Flash Tool and VCOM/MTK drivers for flashing. These are included in the prerequisites below. This page lists 7 firmware builds for the Infinix Hot 10i X658B, covering multiple Android versions and security patch levels. If one build does not work, try a different version. The Infinix Hot 10i X658B was originally released in 2021, which means USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions (10/11) may require manual installation rather than plug-and-play.
As a Transsion Holdings brand, Infinix devices share similar chipset architectures and flashing procedures across the Hot 10i lineup. We verified firmware file integrity across 2 independent sources to confirm these are authentic, unmodified stock ROMs.
Your Infinix Hot 10i X658B firmware comes as a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. Once extracted, open the folder and confirm it contains the scatter file before proceeding.
Once you flash, the device goes back to factory condition. Everything stored on the phone, photos, messages, apps, will be gone. This clean state is what allows the flash to fix stuck logos, FRP locks, software corruption, and performance issues.
Bypass Google Lock on Infinix Hot 10i X658B
The fastest method to bypass the Google account lock on the Infinix Hot 10i X658B involves using an Android apps launcher that allows access to settings during setup.
Hard Reset Infinix Hot 10i X658B
To factory reset the Infinix Hot 10i X658B without a computer, power off the device completely, then hold Volume Up and Power at the same time until the recovery menu appears.
A hard reset erases all data and restores the Infinix Hot 10i X658B to its original factory state. This fixes most software problems, slow performance, app crashes, forgotten screen locks, and bootloops. If the issue persists after a factory reset, a full firmware flash using SP Flash Tool is covered in the following sections.
Which Firmware Version Does Your Infinix Hot 10i X658B Need?
Selecting the correct firmware version requires verifying your device model code and chipset to ensure compatibility.
- Find Your Model Code: Go to Settings, then About Phone. The code should be “X658B”. If it is a different variant, do not use this firmware.
- Cross-Check the Chipset: The Hot 10i X658B uses MediaTek MT6761 Helio A20. If your phone shows a different chipset in recovery mode, stop and find the correct firmware for your hardware.
- Note Your Current Build: Write down the build number shown in About Phone. This helps you compare versions and decide whether to upgrade or reflash the same version.
- Boot Into Recovery: Recovery mode (Volume Up + Power while off) is the safest way to double-check your model info before committing to a flash.
- Check Download Size: After downloading, verify the file size matches the table on this page. Corrupt or partial downloads are a common cause of flash failures.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
This is the question I get asked most often in the comments, so I put together a simple guide. Find your situation in the table and go straight to the right file:
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | V975, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Hot 10i X658B firmware available. |
| FRP / Google account lock only | See the FRP bypass guide above, you likely do not need the full firmware for this. |
| Phone slow after a recent OTA update | Try V412, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V975 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V975 failed with a flash error | Try V412 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V975, clean state, fresh start. |
My general approach with MTK devices: always try the latest version first. I have seen people spend a lot of time trying older builds when the newest one would have worked fine. Only move to an older version if the latest fails more than once, and make sure it is a driver issue you are solving, not a firmware issue.

Only download firmware that is fully compatible with your exact device model. See the firmware selection guide above if you are not sure.
Important: The Infinix Hot 10i X658B (X658B) should not be confused with other Hot 10i variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Hot 10i line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X658B” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Go to Settings and verify your model is exactly X658B. Phones with similar names can have completely different hardware.
- The chipset in your device should be MediaTek MT6761 Helio A20. If it is different, this firmware will not work.
- Always download directly from the table on this page to ensure you have the correct build.
- Check the file size after downloading, a mismatch with the listed size means a partial or corrupt download.
What You Need Before Flashing Infinix Hot 10i X658B
Do not skip this section. Most failed Infinix flashes come from rushing through the preparation steps. The VCOM driver installation is essential for the Infinix Hot 10i X658B and other MediaTek devices. Windows may show the device in Device Manager and SP Flash Tool will still not detect it if the correct VCOM driver is not installed.
- Save Your IMEI Numbers: Type *#06# in the phone dialer and note down both numbers. These are your device identifiers for the cellular network. If flashing wipes them, you will need the originals to write them back.
- Disconnect Google Accounts: Before you start anything, remove all Google accounts from the phone. Settings then Accounts then tap each Google account and remove it. This avoids the FRP verification screen that appears after flashing if accounts were still linked.
- Create a Backup: Copy your data to your computer or an SD card. Flashing replaces the entire software on the phone, which means all personal data, apps, and settings will be permanently deleted.
- Charge First: Get the battery above 50% before starting. The flashing process takes a few minutes and the first boot takes several more. A power failure during either stage can leave the device in a state that requires more advanced recovery.
- Prepare Your PC Connection: You need a Windows computer and a USB cable that supports data transfer. Test the cable first by connecting the phone normally, if it shows up in File Explorer, the cable is good.
- Install the Right Drivers:
Infinix Hot 10i X658B Firmware Installation Guide
We are using SP Flash Tool for this. For older devices, I recommend trying SP Flash Tool v5.1924 first. The newer versions of SP Flash Tool require a DA (Download Agent) file that older firmware packages do not include, and that is what causes the “Auth” errors you may have seen. If SP Flash Tool keeps asking for an auth file and you do not have one, switch to MTK Client, it handles Secure Boot automatically. Download SP Flash Tool for Windows or SP Flash Tool for Linux and follow the steps below. The complete SP Flash Tool guide is also available if you need more detail.
- Prepare the Flash Files:
- Go to the download section and grab the firmware package that matches your device.
- Unzip the file to a folder on your desktop. Avoid using folder names with non-English characters or spaces, the flash tool may not read them correctly.
- Confirm Driver Setup:
- The drivers listed in prerequisites need to be installed and working before you connect the phone. If you are not sure, reinstall them and restart your computer.
- Load the Firmware File:
- Click on the “Scatter-loading” button. Navigate to the folder where you extracted the firmware and select the “scatter.txt” file.
- Connect Your Device:
- Power off your phone completely, not sleep mode, fully off.
- Connect to your PC via USB cable. The flash tool will detect it automatically.
- Start Flashing:
- Click “Download” to kick off the firmware write.
- Hands off the phone and cable until the tool shows completion. Moving or disconnecting the device mid-flash is the most common cause of a bricked phone.
- Wait and Reboot:
- When you see the success message, disconnect the USB cable.
- Hold the power button to boot the phone. Give it a solid 5 to 8 minutes for the first startup, this is normal.
What to Do if Infinix Hot 10i X658B Flash Fails
- Infinix Hot 10i X658B Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X658B, restart your PC, and try again before changing anything else.
- If that does not work, switch to a USB 2.0 port, USB 3.0 ports can cause detection issues with MediaTek devices more often than people expect.
- Still not working? Temporarily disable your antivirus. It can block the VCOM driver from loading without giving you any error message.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode and perform a factory reset from there. Most post-flash bootloops on MediaTek are caused by conflicts with old cached data, a wipe from recovery usually fixes this without needing to reflash.
- Wrong Scatter File / Firmware Mismatch:
- If SP Flash Tool throws an error as soon as you try to start the download, check your scatter file first. A mismatch between the scatter file and your device build is one of the most common causes of flash errors.
- “Download DA FAIL” Error:
- This error comes up regularly. It almost always means the VCOM driver is not properly installed. Reinstall it, restart your PC, and try again. If that still does not work, try switching to SP Flash Tool v5.1924, older devices sometimes respond better to the older version.
- Error 8038 (BROM Error):
- The device is not entering BROM mode correctly. Power it off completely and, if possible, remove the battery for 30 seconds. Reconnect and try again. Some MediaTek devices require you to hold Volume Down while plugging in the USB cable to enter BROM mode.
- Auth File / Secure Boot Error in Newer SP Flash Tool:
- Newer versions of SP Flash Tool require a DA (Download Agent) authentication file for devices with Secure Boot enabled. If you do not have that file, switch to MTK Client instead, it handles Secure Boot automatically and is the simpler solution.
After Flashing: What Happens Next on Infinix Hot 10i X658B
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: SP Flash Tool will show a green circle or checkmark when done. If you see that, the flash completed successfully.
- Stuck in a bootloop after first boot? Enter recovery mode and do a factory reset from there, see the hard reset guide above. This can happen occasionally and does not mean the firmware is wrong.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- First boot takes 3 to 8 minutes, do not force-reboot the device. The operating system is setting itself up from scratch. Interrupting this is how devices end up in bootloops.
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mobile data should all work right after setup. If mobile data is not connecting, go to Settings, SIM and Network, and re-enter your APN manually, the flash sometimes clears carrier APN settings.
- Dial *#06# immediately after setup to check your IMEI. Do this before you insert a SIM card. If it shows “unknown” or “null”, follow the IMEI repair guide below before doing anything else.
- Be careful when re-adding your Google account, if you did not remove it before flashing, you may see an FRP prompt. Add it fresh during the setup wizard, not afterwards through Settings.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Infinix Hot 10i X658B After Flashing?
A missing or unknown IMEI is one of the most common things I see after a MediaTek flash. It happens because the NVRAM partition, which stores your IMEI and calibration data, sometimes does not survive the flash intact. It looks alarming, but it is fixable. Here is what to do:
- Check your drivers first: Install the Mediatek CDC Driver if you have not already, without it, the IMEI repair tools will not detect your device. This is the step most people miss.
- Use SN Write Tool or Maui Meta: SN Write Tool is the first option I try, it is straightforward and works on most MTK devices. Maui Meta is the alternative if SN Write does not connect. You can learn more about using SN Write Tool here.
- Run the repair:
- Connect your device to the computer.
- Enter the original IMEI numbers for both SIM slots, these are the numbers you wrote down before flashing.
- Click “Start” and let it complete without interrupting the connection.
- Verify after reboot: Once done, reboot your phone and dial *#06#. Your IMEI numbers should be back. If they are still showing null, run the process again, sometimes the first attempt does not complete correctly.

Common Questions About Flashing Infinix Hot 10i X658B
Q1: Is it safe to flash during a power outage risk?
A: It is best to avoid flashing during unstable power conditions. If your PC shuts down during the flash, it can corrupt the write and leave the phone in an unbootable state. If you are in an area with unreliable power, use a laptop with a fully charged battery instead of a desktop.
Q2: Can I flash this firmware if my phone does not turn on at all?
A: Yes, in most cases. As long as the phone responds to a USB connection (even with a black screen), the flash tool can detect it. If the battery is completely drained, charge it for at least 15 minutes first.
Q3: Can I go back to an older firmware version?
A: It is technically possible on some MediaTek builds, but downgrading can cause security issues and app compatibility problems. If the latest version is causing trouble, leave a comment below, there is usually a better fix than rolling back.
Q4: Do I need an internet connection during flashing?
A: No. The flashing process is entirely offline, it happens between your PC and the phone via the USB cable. You do not need internet at any point during the flash itself. You will need internet later to set up the phone and download your apps.
Q5: What should I do if I encounter an FRP lock after flashing?
A: Use our free Android apps launcher. FRP lock activates when a Google account was still signed in before flashing. This is why signing out of your Google account before flashing avoids this issue entirely.
Q6: How long does the flashing process take?
A: The actual flash usually takes between 3 and 10 minutes depending on the firmware size and USB connection speed. The first boot after flashing takes another 3 to 8 minutes. Do not interrupt the device during either stage. If the progress bar in SP Flash Tool appears stuck, give it a few more minutes before assuming something went wrong.
Q7: How do I enter recovery mode?
A: Power the device off completely, then hold Volume Up + Power at the same time until the recovery menu appears. The recovery menu displays the build number which you can use to verify your firmware version before flashing.
Q8: Can I use a Mac or Linux computer for this?
A: The tools and drivers referenced on this page are Windows-only. If you are on Mac or Linux, your best option is to use a Windows virtual machine, or borrow a Windows PC for the 10 minutes it takes to complete the flash.
