Infinix Hot 10s X689B Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
The Infinix Hot 10s X689B comes in regularly. Most of these devices arrive with FRP locks, bootloops, or stuck on the Infinix logo. This guide covers all of it. I have put everything you need in one place: the firmware, the tools, and the exact process I use myself.
I recommend extracting the firmware to a simple folder path, such as C:FirmwareX689B. SP Flash Tool can sometimes have trouble locating the scatter file if the folder path contains spaces or special characters. It is a small thing, but it saves a frustrating few minutes of wondering why the tool is not loading the file.
This device was released in 2021. On newer Windows versions, the USB driver might not install automatically. The Infinix Hot 10s X689B 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.
Keep in mind that flashing stock firmware erases all data, which is intentional, as it resolves software issues including FRP lock, app problems, slow performance, forgotten pattern locks, a dead or logo-stuck device, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues, battery drain, and soft brick situations.
Infinix Hot 10s X689B FRP Bypass
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Infinix Hot 10s X689B is to use a free Android apps launcher that lets you access settings during the setup wizard. After flashing or performing a factory reset you may see a Google account lock (FRP). Our free Android apps launcher is the fastest way to get past it. This is also why I always recommend removing your Google account before flashing, it avoids this problem entirely.
Infinix Hot 10s X689B Hard Reset Guide
To factory reset Infinix Hot 10s X689B without a computer, power off the device completely, then hold Volume Up and Power at the same time until the recovery menu appears. Use the volume keys to navigate to “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” and confirm with the Power button.
A hard reset erases all data and restores Infinix Hot 10s X689B 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.
How to Pick the Correct Infinix Hot 10s X689B Firmware
The most common mistake I see people make is flashing firmware meant for a different variant. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Check About Phone: Open Settings and find your exact model number. It should read “X689B”, not a similar name, the exact code.
- Match the Chipset: This firmware is built for MediaTek MT6768 Helio P65 (12 nm). If your device has a different processor, it will not flash correctly.
- Look at the Build Number: The build string in your current software should reference the Hot 10s line. Cross-check it with the firmware table below.
- Check Recovery Mode: Power off, hold Volume Up + Power until recovery appears. The screen displays your chipset and current build, use this to confirm.
- Compare File Details: Make sure the version listed in the download table matches what you expect for your device and region.
What Infinix Hot 10s X689B Firmware Fixes
The Infinix Hot 10s X689B uses a MediaTek chipset, and SP Flash Tool is the standard method for firmware recovery on MTK devices. Here is what flashing the stock firmware can help with:
- Fix Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data connectivity that stopped working after an update.
- Update to the latest Android version supported by your phone.
- Repair a phone that shuts down randomly or restarts in a loop.
- Restore system apps that were accidentally removed or corrupted.
- Resolve touchscreen responsiveness issues caused by a corrupted system build.
- Remove persistent malware or adware that survives a factory reset.
- Recover from “Download DA FAIL” errors and Secure Boot authentication issues specific to the MediaTek chipset in your device.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
This is the most common question I receive. 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 | V317, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Hot 10s X689B 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 V309, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V317 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V317 failed with a flash error | Try V309 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V317, 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 10s X689B (X689B) should not be confused with other Hot 10s variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Hot 10s line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X689B” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Open About Phone and make sure the model code reads X689B. Do not rely on the name printed on the phone case.
- Verify the chipset is MediaTek MT6768 Helio P65 (12 nm). You can see this in recovery mode or by checking the device specifications online.
- Use only the download links provided on this page.
- After downloading, right-click the file and check Properties to confirm the size matches the table above. If it does not, download it again.
Before You Start: Infinix Hot 10s X689B Requirements
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 10s X689B 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.
- Back Up IMEI Numbers: Dial *#06# and write down both IMEI numbers now. You will need these if you need to restore your IMEI after flashing.
- Remove Google Accounts: Sign out of all Google accounts to prevent FRP lock after flashing.
- Back Up Your Data: Back up everything, photos, contacts, WhatsApp chats, important files. Flashing wipes the device completely.
- Charge Your Device:
