Infinix Smart X5010 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
I deal with Infinix phones often, and the Infinix Smart X5010 comes in regularly with FRP locks, bootloops, or stuck on the logo. This guide covers all of it.
I always recommend extracting the firmware to a simple folder path, something like C:FirmwareX5010. SP Flash Tool can sometimes struggle to find the scatter file if the path contains spaces or special characters. It is a small detail, but it saves a frustrating few minutes of troubleshooting.
The stock firmware runs Android 7.0 Nougat (XOS), which sets the default apps and security features you will see after flashing. The Infinix Smart X5010 was released in 2017, so you might need to install drivers manually on newer Windows versions (10/11) since they do not always support this old chip out of the box.
I have verified these files across two independent sources to ensure they are real, unmodified stock ROMs. With 10 firmware versions archived for the Infinix Smart X5010, this page covers multiple Android builds and security patch levels.
Your Infinix Smart X5010 firmware comes as a compressed ZIP file. Download and extract it using WinRAR or 7-Zip. Once extracted, open the folder and make sure the scatter file is there before you start.
This process restores the phone to its original factory state, which means all your personal data will be lost. That clean wipe is exactly what fixes persistent problems like bootloops, forgotten locks, Google account verification, battery drain, and system errors.
Infinix Smart X5010 Hard Reset Guide
To factory reset Infinix Smart X5010 without a computer, power off the device completely. 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 Smart X5010 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 Smart X5010
The fastest way to bypass FRP on Infinix Smart X5010 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.
What Infinix Smart X5010 Firmware Fixes
The Infinix Smart X5010 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:
- Repair a phone that shuts down randomly or restarts in a loop.
- Fix startup loops, lagging, and freezing on your device.
- Resolve touchscreen responsiveness issues caused by a corrupted system build.
- 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.
- Recover from “Download DA FAIL” errors and Secure Boot authentication issues specific to the MediaTek chipset in your device.

How to Pick the Correct Infinix Smart X5010 Firmware
This is the most common question I receive, so I put together a simple guide. Find your situation in the table and go straight to the right file:
- Open About Phone: Your device model must read “X5010” exactly. Even small differences in the code can mean a completely different chipset and partition layout.
- Verify the Chipset Type: This firmware targets MediaTek MT6580 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.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
This is the most common question I receive, 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 | V77, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Smart X5010 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 V68, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V77 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V77 failed with a flash error | Try V68 instead and double-check your scatter file selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V77, 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 Smart X5010 (X5010) should not be confused with other Smart variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Smart line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X5010” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Confirm your exact model is X5010, check About Phone, not the marketing name on the box.
- Your device must have a MediaTek MT6580 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.
Before You Start: Infinix Smart X5010 Requirements
Do not skip this section. Most failed Infinix flashes happen because people rush through the preparation steps. The VCOM driver installation is essential for the Infinix Smart X5010 and other MediaTek devices. Windows might show the device in Device Manager, but 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:
Step-by-Step: Flash Infinix Smart X5010 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.
Normal Behavior After Installing Infinix Smart X5010 Firmware
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
What to Do if Infinix Smart X5010 Flash Fails
- Infinix Smart X5010 Not Recognized by SP Flash Tool:
- In most cases this is a driver issue, not a cable issue. Reinstall the VCOM drivers for the X5010, 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 Smart X5010 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.

Questions About Infinix Smart X5010 Firmware
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: 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.
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: 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 MediaTek devices, SN Write Tool or Maui Meta will handle the repair. Do not insert a SIM card until the IMEI is restored.
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: 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: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with SP Flash Tool restores the device to factory state, including Android 7.0 Nougat (XOS) 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.
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.
