Infinix Note 5 X604 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
The Infinix Note 5 X604 frequently arrives in repair shops with FRP locks, bootloop issues, or stuck on the Infinix logo. This guide provides all necessary firmware downloads, tools, and detailed flashing instructions to resolve these problems.
Before starting, extract firmware to a simple folder path like C:FirmwareX604. SP Flash Tool may fail to locate the scatter file if the path contains spaces or special characters. This small precaution saves troubleshooting time later.
The Infinix Note 5 X604 uses a MediaTek MT6763 Helio P23 chipset, requiring SP Flash Tool and VCOM/MTK drivers for flashing. Stock firmware ships with Android 8.1 Oreo (Android One), which determines default apps and security features. This page lists 22 firmware builds covering multiple Android versions and security patches. If one build fails, try another version.
>All firmware files have been verified across two independent sources to confirm authenticity. With 22 versions archived for the Infinix Note 5 X604, this page covers multiple Android builds and security patch levels.
Download and extract the Infinix Note 5 X604 firmware using WinRAR or 7-Zip. After extraction, confirm the presence of the scatter file before proceeding.
Flashing returns the device to factory condition. All stored data—photos, messages, apps—will be erased. This clean state resolves stuck logos, FRP locks, software corruption, and performance issues.
Reset Infinix Note 5 X604 From Recovery Mode
To factory reset the Infinix Note 5 X604 without a computer, power off the device completely, then hold Volume Up and Power simultaneously until the recovery menu appears. Navigate to “Wipe Data/Factory Reset” using volume keys and confirm with Power.
A hard reset erases all data and restores the Infinix Note 5 X604 to its original factory state. This resolves most software problems—slow performance, app crashes, forgotten screen locks, and bootloops. If issues persist after a factory reset, a full firmware flash using SP Flash Tool is covered in the following sections.
FRP Removal for Infinix Note 5 X604
The fastest method to bypass FRP on the Infinix Note 5 X604 is using a free Android apps launcher that allows settings access during setup.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
>Find your situation in the table below to select the correct firmware file:
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | V403, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Note 5 X604 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 V394, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V403 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V403 failed with a flash error | Try V394 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V403, 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 fully compatible with your exact device model. See the firmware selection guide above if you are not sure.
Important: The Infinix Note 5 X604 (X604) should not be confused with other Note 5 variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Note 5 line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X604” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Go to Settings and verify your model is exactly X604. Phones with similar names can have completely different hardware.
- The chipset in your device should be MediaTek MT6763 Helio P23. If it is different, this firmware will not work.
- Always download directly from the table on this page to ensure you have the correct build.
- Check the file size after downloading, a mismatch with the listed size means a partial or corrupt download.
Prerequisites for Infinix Note 5 X604 Firmware
>Do not skip this section. Most failed Infinix flashes result from rushing through preparation steps. The VCOM driver installation is essential for the Infinix Note 5 X604 and other MediaTek devices. Windows may show the device in Device Manager, but SP Flash Tool will not detect it without the correct VCOM driver.
- 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 X604
>We are using SP Flash Tool for this process. For older devices, I recommend trying SP Flash Tool v5.1924 first. Newer SP Flash Tool versions require a DA (Download Agent) file that older firmware packages do not include, causing “Auth” errors. If SP Flash Tool asks 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.
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.
- 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.
- Storage will show almost full capacity available since all your apps and files are gone. The system partition size varies by firmware version but is typically 4 to 8 GB on most devices.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- 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.
Common Issues When Flashing Infinix Note 5 X604
- Infinix Note 5 X604 Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X604, 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 X604 After Flashing?
>A missing or unknown IMEI is one of the most common issues 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.

Common Questions About Flashing Infinix Note 5 X604
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: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with SP Flash Tool restores the device to factory state, including 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.
Q3: 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.
Q4: 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.
Q5: Is this firmware compatible with other Infinix models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Infinix Note 5 X604 running on the MediaTek MT6763 Helio P23 chipset. Even variants of the Note 5 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.
Q6: 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.
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: 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.
