Did your Infinix X606 (Hot 6) fail to boot (bootloop) after a system (OTA) update or it totally refuses to power up. You could see something like 'red state' ,'verification failed' when you try to power your phone on.

Code:

Red State
Your device has failed verification and may not work properly
Your device will boot in 5 seconds

or just a blank phone that won't power on at all.

This problem is not largely your fault. The recent official update released by Infinix has bugs that cause the phone to become bricked after the installation of the update. 
Do not worry much, there is just an easy way out. 

How to unbrick Infinix X606 Hot 6 in Red State


  1. Visit https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-23659.html and download the correct firmware for your build number
  2. Flash the firmware to your phone using SP Flash tool , Software Download tool or any tool you choose and you get your lovely Hot 6 working again.

Important
  • Infinix X606 has secure boot and requires a DA file to flash so download the Infinix X606 DA file and load it in the Mediatek Flash tool of your choice before flashing
  • To save data and time, you can download only boot.img and flash
  • If you had formatted and are now getting S_SECURITY_SEND_AUTH_FAIL (6029) in SP Flash tool then flash with Software Download tool using the Format + Download option

I have an Infinix X606D refusing to power on after the June 2019 Security update and I know how to follow your instructions except I do not know which variant of X606D my phone is. It is 16GB/1GB. How can I figure out whether it is X606D-H8023ABD-GO-180813V73 or X606D-H8023ABD-GO-181121V100.
Thanks.

UPDATE: I flashed using 181121V100 and it worked.

Hello! I got my phone flashed a few days ago after the whole red state error... I keep receiving the infinix Software update notification but am reluctant to go through with it after what happened... will it crush again if I updated it? because I had rooted it earlier before 
Please help! [Image: Infinix-X606-Hot-6-red-state-fix.jpg]

Hello!
My phone had the same problem a few days ago and I had to flashed by a friend, though am not sure if he used the same method above...
My problem comes when I keep receiving the update software notification and I have been very reluctant to do so in fear of it crushing again...
Will updating it cause the phone to crush or not??

Only infinix team can answer that if they finally released a stable firmware or someone who has tried updating the same model again
