Infinix Hot S X622 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
You can restore your Infinix Hot S X622 to working condition using the stock firmware, drivers, and tools listed below. Qualcomm devices like this one handle flashing differently than MediaTek phones. The process is stricter, and picking the wrong file can stop the download immediately.
The most important step before you begin is to check the contents of the firmware folder. You must look for the Firehose .mbn file first. If this file is missing, you have the wrong package. Do not try to load the files into QFIL hoping it will work, that mistake will only waste your time.
The Infinix Hot S X622 was originally released in 2016, which means USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions (10/11) may require manual installation rather than plug-and-play. The stock firmware ships with Android 8.1 Oreo, which determines the default apps, security features, and interface you will see after flashing. Powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937) (Qualcomm) processor, the Infinix Hot S X622 requires Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) and Qualcomm HS-USB drivers. Make sure to install the correct driver package before connecting your device.
The Infinix Hot S X622 was released in 2016. This page is maintained with the latest available firmware builds as they become available. As a Transsion Holdings brand, Infinix devices share similar chipset architectures and flashing procedures across the Hot S lineup.
Your Infinix Hot S X622 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 Firehose programmer file (*.mbn), rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml 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.
Infinix Hot S X622 FRP Bypass
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Infinix Hot S X622 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 Wipe Infinix Hot S X622 to Factory Settings
To factory reset Infinix Hot S X622 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 S X622 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 QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) is covered in the following sections.
How to Pick the Correct Infinix Hot S X622 Firmware
The most common error is flashing the wrong firmware file. You must verify your device model before you begin.
- Check About Phone: Open Settings and find your exact model number. It should read “X622”, not a similar name, the exact code.
- Match the Chipset: This firmware is built for Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 (MSM8937). 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 S 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.
When Should You Flash Infinix Hot S X622?
The Infinix Hot S X622 is powered by a Qualcomm chipset, and when Qualcomm devices run into software problems, flashing via QFIL is the standard recovery method. Here is what the stock firmware can do:
- Restore the original Infinix stock ROM to keep your warranty valid.
- Resolve touchscreen responsiveness issues caused by a corrupted system build.
- Repair a phone that shuts down randomly or restarts in a loop.
- Resolve OTA update failures and battery drain issues.
- Clear a forgotten screen lock, PIN, or pattern without needing the original credentials.
- Fix Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data connectivity that stopped working after an update.
- Safely exit EDL (9008) mode after a failed flash attempt on your device.

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 | V76, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Hot S X622 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 the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V76 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V76 failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your Firehose programmer file (*.mbn), rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V76, clean state, fresh start. |
For Qualcomm devices, use the latest build unless you have a specific reason not to. Older Firehose packages can sometimes cause partition table issues that are difficult to fix. The newest build is almost always the right choice.

Infinix Hot S X622 Flash Setup Checklist
Get all of this sorted before you open QFIL for your Infinix Hot S X622. In most cases I have seen with Infinix Qualcomm devices, the 9008 driver installation is where things go wrong first. If Windows does not recognise your device in EDL mode, that is almost always the reason. Install the Qualcomm HS-USB driver first, restart your PC, then proceed.
- Write Down Your IMEI: Open your phone dialer and type *#06#. Take a photo of the screen showing both IMEI numbers. You may need these later to fix your IMEI if it gets wiped during the flash.
- Sign Out of Google: Open Settings, go to Accounts, and remove every Google account from the device. If you skip this, Google will lock the phone after flashing and you will need to do an FRP bypass.
- Save Your Files: Copy everything important to a PC or cloud storage. After flashing, the phone will be completely empty, no apps, no photos, no messages.
- Battery Check: Charge to at least 50%. If the phone dies during flashing, you could end up with a device that will not turn on at all.
- Get the Right Cable: You need a USB data cable, the kind that can transfer files, not just charge. Plug it into a USB 2.0 port on a Windows PC for the most reliable connection.
- Set Up Drivers:
Step-by-Step: Flash Infinix Hot S X622 Stock ROM
We are using QFIL from the QPST suite. Make sure your device is in EDL mode, also called 9008 mode, before connecting it. The most reliable way to confirm this is to check Device Manager for “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.” If you see that entry, your device is in the correct mode and you can proceed.
- Get the Firmware Ready:
- Download the firmware file from the download section above.
- Right-click the ZIP and select “Extract Here” or use 7-Zip. Put the extracted files in a folder without spaces in the name, like
C:firmware.
- Verify Your Drivers:
- Make sure the required drivers are installed. After installing, restart your PC, drivers often do not activate until after a reboot.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In QFIL, select Flat Build from the “Select Build” dropdown. Click Browse next to “Programmer Path” and select the Firehose .mbn file. Click Load XML and select rawprogram0.xml, then patch0.xml.
- 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:
- Hit the “Download” button in the flash tool to start the process.
- Leave the phone and cable completely alone until it finishes. Any interruption during this stage risks corrupting the flash.
- Wait and Reboot:
- When the flash completes, unplug the USB cable from your phone.
- Turn on the device. First boot takes 3 to 8 minutes, do not force restart it during this time.

Fix Common Infinix Hot S X622 Firmware Errors
- Infinix Hot S X622 Not Entering EDL (9008) Mode:
- Hold Volume Down and Power until the screen goes black, then connect the USB cable. Check Device Manager for “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008”, that entry confirms EDL mode is active.
- If it is not showing, the EDL test point method may be needed for your specific device. XDA Developers has guides for most models.
- QFIL “Sahara Communication Failure” Error:
- This almost always means the wrong Firehose programmer file (.mbn) was selected. Go back to the firmware folder and confirm you are selecting the .mbn file specifically.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode and perform a factory reset. If the recovery partition was also overwritten and is not accessible, you will need to reflash.
- Infinix Hot S X622 Not Recognized by QFIL:
- Reinstall the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver and restart your PC before retrying. Antivirus software can also interfere here, disable it temporarily during the flash process.
What to Expect After Flashing
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: QFIL will display “Download Succeed” in the status bar. If you see this, the flash completed correctly.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Battery percentage may seem inaccurate for the first day. The battery statistics are calibrated during normal use. Charge the phone fully once without interruption and the readings will stabilize.
- 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.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Infinix Hot S X622 After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Qualcomm device after flashing is less common than on MediaTek, but it does happen, usually when the modem partition was not written correctly or was left out of the flash. QFIL or QPST can be used to address this. XDA Developers has device-specific IMEI repair threads for most Infinix Qualcomm models. Look up your exact model there, the process varies enough between devices that a general guide would not give you accurate steps.
Infinix Hot S X622 Flashing FAQ
Q1: 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.
Q2: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader), 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.
Q3: My device is not detected by QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader). What should I do?
A: Start with the drivers, reinstall the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver, 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.
Q4: 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.
Q5: 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.
Q6: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) restores the device to factory state, including Android 8.1 Oreo default settings. All apps, photos, contacts, and accounts will be removed. Back up everything you need before you start. There is no way to recover data once the flash is complete.
Q7: Can I go back to an older firmware version?
A: It is technically possible on some Qualcomm 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.
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 Qualcomm devices, QPST can handle IMEI restoration. Do not insert a SIM card until the IMEI is restored.
