Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
The Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 is a model that frequently requires firmware restoration due to common issues like FRP locks, bootloop problems, or being stuck on the Infinix logo. This guide provides a complete solution with official stock firmware, necessary tools, and a step-by-step process to get your device back to working order.
Before proceeding, extract the firmware to a straightforward folder location, such as C:FirmwareX670. SP Flash Tool may fail to locate the scatter file if the folder path includes spaces or special characters. This simple step prevents unnecessary troubleshooting later.
Released in 2022, the Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 may require manual USB driver installation on Windows 10 or 11. This guide offers 20 firmware builds for the device, covering various Android versions and security patches. If one firmware version does not resolve the issue, another build might. The device uses a MediaTek MT6781 Helio G96 chipset, necessitating SP Flash Tool and VCOM/MTK drivers for flashing, which are provided in the prerequisites section.
This page is updated regularly with the latest firmware builds for the Infinix Note 12 G96 X670. All files have been verified for authenticity and are unmodified stock ROMs, confirmed through two independent sources.
The Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 firmware is provided as a ZIP archive. Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the files. After extraction, check the folder for the scatter file before continuing.
Flashing the stock firmware will reset the device to its factory settings, resulting in the loss of all personal data. This clean installation resolves persistent issues such as bootloops, forgotten screen locks, FRP verification, battery drain, and system errors.
Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 FRP Bypass
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 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.
Hard Reset Infinix Note 12 G96 X670
To factory reset Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 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 Note 12 G96 X670 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 Note 12 G96 X670 Firmware Compatibility Check
The single biggest mistake I see people make is flashing firmware meant for a different variant. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Open About Phone: Your device model must read “X670” exactly. Even small differences in the code can mean a completely different chipset and partition layout.
- Verify the Chipset Type: This firmware targets MediaTek MT6781 Helio G96 specifically. Flashing it on a different chipset will fail or could brick the device.
- Check Your Current Firmware Version: Compare your build number with the versions listed in the download section to decide which file to use.
- Use Recovery Mode: If you cannot access Settings (phone is stuck or locked), boot into recovery mode to read the build and chipset details from the screen.
- Regional Compatibility: Some Infinix firmware packages target specific regions. Confirm the download matches your device origin.
What Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 Firmware Fixes

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 | V1819, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 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 V1785, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V1819 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V1819 failed with a flash error | Try V1785 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V1819, 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 Note 12 G96 X670 (X670) should not be confused with other Note 12 G96 variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Note 12 G96 line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X670” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Open About Phone and make sure the model code reads X670. Do not rely on the name printed on the phone case.
- Verify the chipset is MediaTek MT6781 Helio G96. 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.
What You Need Before Flashing Infinix Note 12 G96 X670
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 Note 12 G96 X670 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: At least 50% battery. A device that powers off during a flash is very difficult to recover.
- USB Cable & PC: Use a proper data USB cable, not a charge-only cable, and a Windows computer with available USB ports.
- Install Required Drivers:
Step-by-Step: Flash Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 Stock ROM
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.
Common Issues When Flashing Infinix Note 12 G96 X670
- Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X670, 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.
Post-Flash Behavior on Infinix Note 12 G96 X670
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Missing IMEI or Corrupt Baseband on Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: 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.
Q2: 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.
Q3: 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.
Q4: 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.
Q5: 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.
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: Is this firmware compatible with other Infinix models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 running on the MediaTek MT6781 Helio G96 chipset. Even variants of the Note 12 G96 with a different letter suffix can have a completely different chipset inside. Flashing the wrong firmware can leave your phone in a state that is very difficult to recover from. Always check your exact model number in Settings.
Q8: 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.
People Also Ask About Infinix Note 12 G96 X670
Can flashing firmware fix a bricked Infinix Note 12 G96 X670?
Yes. If your Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 is stuck on the logo, in a bootloop, or will not turn on, flashing the stock firmware with SP Flash Tool can restore it to working condition. This is the standard repair method used by service centers for Infinix devices.
How do I check my Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 model number before flashing?
Go to Settings > About Phone on your Infinix Note 12 G96 X670 and look for the model number “X670”.
