[Tutorial] How to flash firmware using Infinix Flash Tool
The steps below will clearly explain how to flash firmware with the Infinix flash tool
Quote:In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to use Infinix Flash tool. Now, it pretty much works the same way SP Flash tool does only that its a lot simpler. Fewer configuration options, just load your files and flash. That's basically how this one works. Now, before you use Infinix Flash tool, first you need your rom (firmware) you wish to flash (extracted here) and then you need to install your Mediatek USB VCOM drivers. The first thing you'll do will be to install drivers. Without VCOM drivers, the tool will not be able to detect your phone. Once you connect your phone for flashing, the best you could see is just a charging sign on the screen, no flashing will start. You'll have to go to device manager, just click on any item on the list then click on Action, Add legacy hardware, Next, Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, Next, Next, Click on Have Disk, Now you click on Browse.
Now, you navigate to the location of your Mediatek VCOM driver, this is mine here, let me take you back. Mediatek VCOM drivers, Drivers, USB VCOM driver. Now, you select the folder according to your PC's specs. I'm using a Windows 8 so I'm going to select the Windows 7 driver. Now, mine is a 64 bit PC so I'll select 64. If yours is 32 you'll want to select this. Click Open, OK, Next, Next. If you get a prompt telling you that this driver is not signed and do you want to proceed? You'll want to click a Yes for that. The reason why you're getting this code 10 error is because the driver you just installed is not digitally signed so Windows believes it might not exactly work but that really doesn't matter. What you're after is that the following driver was installed Mediatek DA USB VCOM Port.
So VCOM drivers have been installed so you click on Finish. Now, back to flashing. Now, we have our drivers installed so the first thing you'll want to do is to launch your Infinix Flash Tool. You right-click and run as Administrator and wait for the tool to come up. Its pretty much the same as SP Flash tool. You'll see that the settings are a lot simpler. For SP Flash tool, you have a lot of options at the top which allows you to select which files you wish to flash. With this, it doesn't exactly work that way but that doesn't matter. The first thing you'll want to do is to -at this point- switch off your phone and don't yet connect it to PC via the USB cord. You just switch off the phone and leave it the way it is. Now, you click this Browser button then you navigate to the location of the backup (firmware) you wish to flash This is the stock backup I wish to flash or the stock rom. You open, select the scatter file and click Open.
Now, we have the file loaded here. The next thing you'll want to do is click Start. You'll see that Start is grayed and Stop is green in color so that means we're good to go. Now, connect the switched off phone to the PC via the USB cord and then flashing should begin. I'll do that just now. OK, so flashing has begun. Its very important you do not interrupt this process. Leave it to complete before you disconnect the phone and then boot it up. Do not interrupt this process. Alright! flashing has begun so I just wait till 100% before I disconnect. Alright! Flashing was successful and I have this green OK prompt.
Now, if the phone is stuck at boot logo after flashing, just just take out the battery (if removable) but if inbuilt, just boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset and you should be taken to the setup wizard.
