Infinix Note 12 X676C Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
This guide provides the official stock ROM for the Infinix Note 12 X676C, along with drivers and step-by-step instructions to fix software problems.
The Infinix Note 12 X676C is a model I see frequently, usually brought in with bootloops, stuck on the logo, or FRP lock issues. This guide consolidates everything you need: the firmware files, the tools, and the specific process I use for these repairs.
One tip I always give before starting is to extract the firmware to a simple folder path, such as C:FirmwareX676C. SP Flash Tool can sometimes struggle to locate the scatter file if the folder path contains spaces or special characters. This small detail saves a frustrating few minutes of troubleshooting.
The Infinix Note 12 X676C was released in 2022, so USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions (10/11) often requires manual installation rather than automatic detection. The stock firmware runs on Android 12 and XOS 10.6, which defines the apps, security features, and interface you will see after flashing. Because the device uses a MediaTek Helio G99 (MT6789) chipset, you must use SP Flash Tool and VCOM/MTK drivers. These are listed in the prerequisites below.
We verified the integrity of the firmware files across two independent sources to confirm they are authentic, unmodified stock ROMs. This page archives nine different versions of the Infinix Note 12 X676C firmware, covering various Android builds and security patch levels.
Your Infinix Note 12 X676C 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.
Flashing replaces your current software completely and wipes all personal data. This is intentional, it clears out FRP locks, bootloops, pattern locks, app crashes, and other software-level problems that a standard reset cannot fix.
Bypass Google Lock on Infinix Note 12 X676C
You can bypass the Google account lock by using an app launcher that allows access to settings during the setup process. After flashing or performing a factory reset, you may see a Google account lock (FRP). Our free Android apps launcher is the quickest way to get past it. This is also why I always recommend removing your Google account before flashing, it avoids this problem entirely.
Reset Infinix Note 12 X676C From Recovery Mode
To perform a factory reset, 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 X676C 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 Note 12 X676C Need?
The single biggest mistake I see people make is flashing firmware meant for a different variant. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Find Your Model Code: Go to Settings, then About Phone. The code should be “X676C”. If it is a different variant, do not use this firmware.
- Cross-Check the Chipset: The Note 12 X676C uses MediaTek Helio G99 (MT6789). 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 | V1775, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Note 12 X676C 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 V1441, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V1775 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V1775 failed with a flash error | Try V1441 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V1775, 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 X676C (X676C) should not be confused with other Note 12 variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Note 12 line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X676C” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Your model number is a variant of X676C with a different letter suffix. Check About Phone carefully, one letter difference can cause a failed or broken flash.
- Your chipset differs from MediaTek Helio G99 (MT6789). Confirm in recovery mode before proceeding.
- You downloaded the file from a source other than this page.
- The file size differs significantly from the sizes listed in the table above, a size mismatch usually means a partial download, which will fail mid-flash.
What You Need Before Flashing Infinix Note 12 X676C
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 X676C 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 X676C 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.
- 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:
- 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:
- 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.
Common Issues When Flashing Infinix Note 12 X676C
- Infinix Note 12 X676C Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X676C, 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.
What to Expect After Flashing
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- Fingerprint and face unlock data are erased during the flash. You will need to re-register your fingerprints and face data from scratch in the security 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 Note 12 X676C 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 Note 12 X676C Flashing FAQ
Q1: 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.
Q2: 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.
Q3: 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.
Q4: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with SP Flash Tool restores the device to factory state, including Android 12, XOS 10.6 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.
Q5: 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.
Q6: 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.
Q7: 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.
Q8: 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.
