[Please help] Infinix Hot 10T X689C Boot Loop
[Please help] Infinix Hot 10T X689C Boot Loop
(05-10-2021, 01:46 PM)Chibu_ I tried to root my Infinix Phone in order to stop someone from blocking me off my home wi-fi internet access. When flashing, I messed up and flashed the patched_boot.img onto partition b twice (I didn't know the phone had partition a and b and I flashed without specifying partitions and the fastboot CMD flashed to partition b, then I flashed specifying partition a and then b again). Well now the phone is stuck on boot loop. It vibrates and shows the Infinix logo, then goes off and keeps doing the same thing, it never gets past Infinix logo to show the XOS logo. Also when I use the correct key combinations (power key and volume up key) to enter recovery mode the phone acknowledges this button combination by not vibrating when it starts but it does not enter recovery mode and just continues to boot loop. I have the stock ROM but i can't flash it with SP Flash Tool because the Tool is not recognizing the phone and neither is Minimal ADB & Fastboot anymore. Please help me. What do I do? Do I need to buy a new phone? That would suck because I was really loving the flexibility and portability of the phone.Disconnect / reconnect the battery then flash back stock boot.img in fastboot

did you flash empty vbmeta before flashing patched boot? that could be the reason for the bootloop
to fix your device, use mtk bypass @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-37957.html ; flash only stock boot.img back to both a/b
when rooting a device with a/b, you need to check the current active slot first; see the command below and ensure to flash empty vbmeta first before any custom image such as patched boot; see method 3 @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32719.html
Code:fastboot getvar current-slot

Both commands gave me the same error: "ModuleNotFoundError: No module name 'serial'" from the exploit.py file line 2. Not sure what could be wrong. I will attach a screenshot, any help is appreciated!

Ensure to read the important notice at the top and hope you ran pip install pyusb pyserial json5
(08-10-2021, 09:34 AM)Chibu_ Yes, I read the important notice and installed USBdk and skipped steps 3-6. I also successfully ran pip install pyusb pyserial json5. I ran it again after getting the error and it confirmed that the files were already installed.

there's a problem on the github page, when you visit the github page, don't download from releases 1.4.2 (this is an old version they havent updated the releases in a while now)
rather click the dropdown for "code" in a green button then select "download as zip". you should have the file named as "bypass_utility-master"
extract and use this particular master version
