Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
The Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 comes in for repairs frequently, usually with FRP locks, bootloop issues, or a stuck logo. This guide puts all the necessary files and steps in one place. One thing to keep in mind before you start is to extract the firmware to a simple folder path, such as C:FirmwareX605. SP Flash Tool sometimes has trouble locating the scatter file if the folder path contains spaces or special characters. This small detail can save you a frustrating few minutes of wondering why the tool is not loading the file.
The stock firmware ships with Android 10 (Launched with Android 8.1 Oreo, Android One), which determines the default apps, security features, and interface you will see after flashing. The Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 was originally released in 2018, which means USB driver compatibility on newer Windows versions (10/11) may require manual installation rather than plug-and-play. This page lists 15 firmware builds for the Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605, covering multiple Android versions and security patch levels. If one build does not work, try a different version.
The Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 was released in 2018. 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 Note 5 Stylus lineup.
Your Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 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.
Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 Hard Reset Guide
To factory reset Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 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 5 Stylus X605 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.
Remove FRP Lock on Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 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.
When Should You Flash Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605?
The Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 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:
- Restore the original Infinix stock ROM to keep your warranty valid.
- Unlock your device if it has been locked or disabled.
- Fix Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data connectivity that stopped working after an update.
- Clear a forgotten screen lock, PIN, or pattern without needing the original credentials.
- Resolve touchscreen responsiveness issues caused by a corrupted system build.
- Restore system apps that were accidentally removed or corrupted.
- Recover from “Download DA FAIL” errors and Secure Boot authentication issues specific to the MediaTek chipset in your device.

Verify Your Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 Model Before Downloading
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 “X605”. If it is a different variant, do not use this firmware.
- Cross-Check the Chipset: The Note 5 Stylus X605 uses MediaTek MT6763T Helio P23. 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 | V408, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 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 V398, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V408 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V408 failed with a flash error | Try V398 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V408, 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 5 Stylus X605 (X605) should not be confused with other Note 5 Stylus variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Note 5 Stylus line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X605” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Confirm your exact model is X605, check About Phone, not the marketing name on the box.
- Your device must have a MediaTek MT6763T Helio P23 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 Note 5 Stylus X605 Firmware
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 5 Stylus X605 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.
- 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:
Install Stock Firmware on Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605
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.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What to Do if Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 Flash Fails
- Infinix Note 5 Stylus X605 Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X605, 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 Note 5 Stylus X605 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 5 Stylus X605 Firmware FAQ
Q1: 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.
Q2: 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.
Q3: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with SP Flash Tool restores the device to factory state, including Android 10 (Launched with Android 8.1 Oreo, Android One) 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.
Q4: 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.
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: 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.
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: 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.
