Infinix Hot 12i X665 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
This page provides the official Infinix Hot 12i X665 firmware, drivers, and tools required to fix software issues, unbrick the device, and bypass security locks.
I have worked on Infinix devices for a while now, and the Infinix Hot 12i X665 comes in regularly, usually with FRP locks, bootloop issues, or stuck on the Infinix logo. I have put everything you need in one place: the firmware, the tools, and the exact process I use myself.
One thing I always recommend before you start: extract the firmware to a simple folder path, something like C:FirmwareX665. 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.
The stock firmware ships with Android 11, XOS 7.6, which determines the default apps, security features, and interface you will see after flashing. The Infinix Hot 12i X665 was originally released in 2022, which means USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions (10/11) may require manual installation rather than plug-and-play. This page lists 11 firmware builds for the Infinix Hot 12i X665, covering multiple Android versions and security patch levels. If one build does not work, try a different version.
The Infinix Hot 12i X665 was released in 2022. This page is maintained with the latest available firmware builds as they become available. With 11 firmware versions archived for the Infinix Hot 12i X665, this page covers multiple Android builds and security patch levels.
Your Infinix Hot 12i X665 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.
Be aware that flashing overwrites the entire software partition. Your data, apps, and accounts will all be removed. This full wipe is how the flash resolves deep software issues, anything from FRP locks and boot failures to Wi-Fi problems and app crashes.
Hard Reset Infinix Hot 12i X665
To perform a hard reset on the Infinix Hot 12i X665 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 12i X665 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.
Infinix Hot 12i X665 Google Account Bypass After Reset
The most efficient way to bypass FRP on Infinix Hot 12i X665 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.

How to Pick the Correct Infinix Hot 12i X665 Firmware
To pick the correct Infinix Hot 12i X665 firmware, verify your exact device identity by checking the model code “X665” and the chipset “MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22”.
- Find Your Model Code: Go to Settings, then About Phone. The code should be “X665”. If it is a different variant, do not use this firmware.
- Cross-Check the Chipset: The Hot 12i X665 uses MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22. 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?
To choose the right firmware version for your situation, check the table below which matches common problems like bootloops or FRP locks with the specific file you need.
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | V624, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Hot 12i X665 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 V491, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V624 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V624 failed with a flash error | Try V491 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V624, 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 12i X665 (X665) should not be confused with other Hot 12i variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Hot 12i line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X665” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Confirm your exact model is X665, check About Phone, not the marketing name on the box.
- Your device must have a MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22 chipset. Boot into recovery mode to verify if unsure.
- Only use files downloaded from this page. Third-party mirrors may serve modified or incomplete packages.
- Compare the file size against the download table. If it does not match, the download is likely corrupt or incomplete.
Prerequisites for Infinix Hot 12i X665 Firmware
Before installing the Infinix Hot 12i X665 firmware, you must install the correct VCOM drivers and ensure your battery has at least 50% charge.
- Record IMEI Before Flashing: Dial *#06# and save both IMEI numbers somewhere safe, a screenshot works. If flashing corrupts the baseband, these numbers are what you will need to restore cellular connectivity.
- Unlink Google Accounts: Go to Settings, then Accounts, and remove all Google accounts. This prevents Factory Reset Protection from activating after the flash. It is the single most skipped step and causes the most post-flash headaches.
- Full Data Backup: Flashing erases everything. Transfer your photos, contacts, app data, and any important files to your computer or cloud backup before starting.
- Charge the Battery: Make sure you have at least 50% charge. A dead battery during a flash can corrupt the system partition and turn a fixable problem into a much bigger one.
- Windows PC and USB Cable: You will need a Windows computer and a data-capable USB cable. Cheap charge-only cables are the number one reason flash tools fail to detect devices.
- Driver Installation:
Install Stock Firmware on Infinix Hot 12i X665
You can install the stock firmware on the Infinix Hot 12i X665 by using SP Flash Tool, following a specific scatter-loading process and ensuring the device is in Download Mode.
- Download and Unpack:
- Pick the correct firmware version from the downloads above and save it to your PC.
- Extract the ZIP file. If the extracted folder contains another ZIP inside, extract that one too. You should end up with the actual firmware files, not another archive.
- Driver Check:
- Double-check that you have installed the required drivers. A missing driver is the most common reason the flash tool cannot detect your phone. Reboot your PC after installing.
- 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:
- Start the flash by clicking “Download”.
- Leave everything untouched until completion. Even bumping the USB cable can interrupt the write and cause a failed flash.
- Wait and Reboot:
- The flash is complete when the tool shows a success indicator. Disconnect your phone.
- Turn the phone on. Do not worry if it sits on the boot logo for several minutes, the system is rebuilding itself from scratch.
Post-Flash Behavior on Infinix Hot 12i X665
After a successful flash on the Infinix Hot 12i X665, you should expect a slow first boot process of 3 to 8 minutes and a return to factory default settings.
- 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.
- Notification sounds and ringtones will be back to factory defaults. Any custom tones you had set before will need to be re-downloaded and re-assigned in Settings.
- 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.
- All your apps are gone, this is expected. Reinstall them from the Play Store. If you had a Google account backup active, it will offer to restore your apps automatically during setup.
- 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.
- The phone may ask for language and region again, this is normal after a flash. You are starting from a clean state, so the setup wizard runs just like when the phone was brand new.
- 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.
Common Issues When Flashing Infinix Hot 12i X665
- Infinix Hot 12i X665 Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X665, 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.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Infinix Hot 12i X665 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.

Infinix Hot 12i X665 Firmware FAQ
Q1: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close SP Flash Tool, restart it, and try the flash again from the beginning. In most cases, a failed flash just means the process needs to be repeated. The device is usually still detectable by the flash tool even after a failed attempt.
Q2: My device is not detected by SP Flash Tool. What should I do?
A: Start with the drivers, reinstall the VCOM drivers, restart your PC, then try again. Switch to a USB 2.0 port if you are on USB 3.0. Disable your antivirus temporarily. If none of that works, leave a comment with the exact error message.
Q3: 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.
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: 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.
Q6: 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.
Q7: Will flashing void my warranty?
A: Flashing official stock firmware generally does not void your warranty since you are restoring the device to its factory-intended state. However, some manufacturers may flag that the bootloader was unlocked or that the flash counter increased. Check your specific warranty terms with Infinix support if you are concerned.
Q8: My IMEI shows “unknown” after flashing. Is my phone permanently damaged?
A: No, it looks alarming, but it is fixable. Follow the IMEI repair guide in the troubleshooting section above. For MediaTek devices, SN Write Tool or Maui Meta will handle the repair. Do not insert a SIM card until the IMEI is restored.
