Infinix Xpad GT X1301 Firmware (Flash File) Drivers, Tools & Guide
Qualcomm-powered devices handle flashing differently from MediaTek. QFIL is less forgiving, and selecting the wrong programmer file will stop the process right away. I created this guide to make things straightforward: the right firmware, the correct QFIL setup, and the steps that work reliably on Infinix Qualcomm devices.
The most important thing to check before you begin: after extracting the firmware, look for the Firehose .mbn file first. If it is not there, you have the wrong package. Do not load it into QFIL hoping it will work, that mistake alone can cost you a lot of time troubleshooting.
The Infinix Xpad GT X1301 uses the Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G processor, which requires QFIL and Qualcomm HS-USB drivers. Make sure to install the correct driver package before connecting your device. The stock firmware runs on Android 14, which determines the default apps, security features, and interface you will see after flashing. Since this is a relatively recent device released in 2025, you should expect active firmware updates and good driver support on modern Windows systems.
This firmware was sourced directly from verified repositories and checked for integrity before being listed on this page. As a Transsion Holdings brand, Infinix devices share similar chipset architectures and flashing procedures across the Xpad GT lineup.
Your Infinix Xpad GT X1301 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 Firehose programmer file (*.mbn), rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml before proceeding.
Keep in mind that flashing stock firmware erases all data, which is intentional, as it resolves software issues including FRP lock, app problems, slow performance, forgotten pattern locks, a dead or logo-stuck device, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues, battery drain, and soft brick situations.
Infinix Xpad GT X1301 FRP Bypass
The quickest way to bypass the Google account lock on the Infinix Xpad GT X1301 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.
How to Wipe Infinix Xpad GT X1301 to Factory Settings
To factory reset Infinix Xpad GT X1301 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 Xpad GT X1301 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 QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) is covered in the following sections.
Choosing the Right Firmware Version
The most common error is flashing a firmware file meant for a different variant of the Xpad GT X1301. Before downloading anything, verify your exact device identity:
- Find Your Model Code: Go to Settings, then About Phone. The code should be “X1301”. If it is a different variant, do not use this firmware.
- Cross-Check the Chipset: The Xpad GT X1301 uses Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G. 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.
Why Flash Stock ROM on Infinix Xpad GT X1301?
Flashing stock firmware is the standard solution for software problems on the Infinix Xpad GT X1301 because it restores the original system files. Here is what the stock firmware can do:
- Update to the latest Android version supported by your phone.
- Repair a phone that shuts down randomly or restarts in a loop.
- Fix Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile data connectivity that stopped working after an update.
- Restore the original Infinix stock ROM to keep your warranty valid.
- Remove persistent malware or adware that survives a factory reset.
- Recover your device when it only boots into recovery mode.
- Safely exit EDL (9008) mode after a failed flash attempt on your device.

Which Firmware Version Should I Download?
Use the table below to match your specific situation to the correct firmware file for the Infinix Xpad GT X1301.
| Your Situation | What I Recommend |
|---|---|
| Phone is completely dead or stuck on logo | V22, download this one. It is the latest Infinix Xpad GT X1301 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 the next older version, sometimes the latest OTA introduces new bugs and an older build runs better. |
| IMEI missing after a previous flash | Re-flash V22 first, then follow the IMEI repair guide. Do not skip the reflash. |
| V22 failed with a flash error | Try the next older version instead and double-check your Firehose programmer file (*.mbn), rawprogram0.xml, and patch0.xml selection before assuming the firmware is the problem. |
| Restoring to factory / warranty repair | V22, clean state, fresh start. |
For Qualcomm devices, use the latest build unless you have a specific reason not to. Older Firehose packages can sometimes cause partition table issues that are difficult to fix. The newest build is almost always the right choice.
Download Infinix Xpad GT X1301 Firmware
Download the official stock firmware for your Infinix Xpad GT X1301 below. The latest available version is V22. After downloading, verify the file size matches the table above, a size mismatch usually means a partial or corrupt download, and flashing a corrupt file can cause more problems than it solves.

File Name: Infinix_Xpad_GT_X1301_OP_V22_250614_QFIL.zip Size: 2.6 GB | Download Link | Download Link2 |
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 Xpad GT X1301 (X1301) should not be confused with other Xpad GT variants that may have different chipsets or regional firmware. Even devices in the same Xpad GT line can use completely different processors. Always verify your exact model code “X1301” in Settings > About Phone before downloading any firmware from this page.
- Your model number is a variant of X1301 with a different letter suffix. Check About Phone carefully, one letter difference can cause a failed or broken flash.
- Your chipset differs from Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G. 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.
Prepare Your Infinix Xpad GT X1301 for Flashing
Get all of this sorted before you open QFIL for your Infinix Xpad GT X1301. In most cases I have seen with Infinix Qualcomm devices, the 9008 driver installation is where things go wrong first. If Windows does not recognise your device in EDL mode, that is almost always the reason. Install the Qualcomm HS-USB driver first, restart your PC, then proceed.
- Save Your IMEI Numbers: Type *#06# in the phone dialer and note down both numbers. These are your device identifiers for the cellular network. If flashing wipes them, you will need the originals to write them back.
- Disconnect Google Accounts: Before you start anything, remove all Google accounts from the phone. Settings then Accounts then tap each Google account and remove it. This avoids the FRP verification screen that appears after flashing if accounts were still linked.
- Create a Backup: Copy your data to your computer or an SD card. Flashing replaces the entire software on the phone, which means all personal data, apps, and settings will be permanently deleted.
- Charge First: Get the battery above 50% before starting. The flashing process takes a few minutes and the first boot takes several more. A power failure during either stage can leave the device in a state that requires more advanced recovery.
- Prepare Your PC Connection: You need a Windows computer and a USB cable that supports data transfer. Test the cable first by connecting the phone normally, if it shows up in File Explorer, the cable is good.
- Install the Right Drivers:
Install Stock Firmware on Infinix Xpad GT X1301
We are using QFIL from the QPST suite. Make sure your device is in EDL mode, also called 9008 mode, before connecting it. The most reliable way to confirm this is to check Device Manager for “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008.” If you see that entry, your device is in the correct mode and you can proceed.
- Download and Extract:
- Download the correct firmware package from the links above.
- Extract the ZIP to a simple folder path, avoid paths with spaces or special characters, as some flash tools have trouble with them.
- Install the Listed Drivers:
- Confirm all drivers listed above are installed and that your PC has been restarted since installation. Skipping the restart is a common reason drivers do not work correctly.
- Load the Firmware File:
- In QFIL, select Flat Build from the “Select Build” dropdown. Click Browse next to “Programmer Path” and select the Firehose .mbn file. Click Load XML and select rawprogram0.xml, then patch0.xml.
- 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 the “Download” button to begin.
- Do not disconnect, move the cable, or touch the device until the process is fully complete. Disconnecting mid-flash is how devices get bricked.
- Wait and Reboot:
- Once flashing finishes successfully, disconnect the device.
- Power on your device. The first boot will take longer than usual, give it up to 8 minutes.

Infinix Xpad GT X1301 Flashing Problems and Fixes
- Infinix Xpad GT X1301 Not Entering EDL (9008) Mode:
- Hold Volume Down and Power until the screen goes black, then connect the USB cable. Check Device Manager for “Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008”, that entry confirms EDL mode is active.
- If it is not showing, the EDL test point method may be needed for your specific device. XDA Developers has guides for most models.
- QFIL “Sahara Communication Failure” Error:
- This almost always means the wrong Firehose programmer file (.mbn) was selected. Go back to the firmware folder and confirm you are selecting the .mbn file specifically.
- Boot Loop After Flashing:
- Enter recovery mode and perform a factory reset. If the recovery partition was also overwritten and is not accessible, you will need to reflash.
- Infinix Xpad GT X1301 Not Recognized by QFIL:
- Reinstall the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver and restart your PC before retrying. Antivirus software can also interfere here, disable it temporarily during the flash process.
After Flashing: What Happens Next on Infinix Xpad GT X1301
Here is what is completely normal after a successful flash:
- How to know the flash was successful: QFIL will display “Download Succeed” in the status bar. If you see this, the flash completed correctly.
- The phone will feel warm during first boot, this is normal. It settles after a few minutes once the initial app setup is complete.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Xpad GT X1301 After Flashing?
A missing IMEI on a Qualcomm device after flashing is less common than on MediaTek, but it does happen, usually when the modem partition was not written correctly or was left out of the flash. QFIL or QPST can be used to address this. XDA Developers has device-specific IMEI repair threads for most Infinix Qualcomm models. Look up your exact model there, the process varies enough between devices that a general guide would not give you accurate steps.
Questions About Infinix Xpad GT X1301 Firmware
Q1: What if the flash fails halfway through?
A: Do not panic and do not disconnect the phone. Close QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader), 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.
Q2: 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.
Q3: 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 Qualcomm devices, QPST can handle IMEI restoration. Do not insert a SIM card until the IMEI is restored.
Q4: 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.
Q5: Is this firmware compatible with other Infinix models?
A: No. This firmware is built specifically for the Infinix Xpad GT X1301 running on the Qualcomm SM8350 Snapdragon 888 5G chipset. Even variants of the Xpad GT 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: Can I flash this firmware if my phone does not turn on at all?
A: Yes, in most cases. Qualcomm devices can often be detected in EDL (9008) mode even when completely dead, QFIL can flash without the phone being on. If the battery is completely drained, charge it for at least 15 minutes first.
Q7: Will flashing erase my data?
A: Yes, flashing with QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader) restores the device to factory state, including Android 14 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: My device is not detected by QFIL (Qualcomm Flash Image Loader). What should I do?
A: Start with the drivers, reinstall the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 driver, 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.
