In this video tutorial, I'll be explaining how to use Infinix Flash tool.

00:27
Now, it pretty much works the same way SP Flash tool does only that its a lot simpler.

00:36
Fewer configuration options, just load your files and flash. That's basically how this one works.

00:42
Now, before you use Infinix Flash tool, first you need your rom (firmware) you wish to flash (extracted here)

00:55
and then you need to install your Mediatek USB VCOM drivers. The first thing you'll do will be to install drivers.

01:04
Without VCOM drivers, the tool will not be able to detect your phone. Once you connect your phone for flashing,

01:10
the best you could see is just a charging sign on the screen, no flashing will start.

01:16
You'll have to go to device manager, just click on any item on the list then click on Action,

01:24
Add legacy hardware, Next, Install the hardware that I manually select from a list, Next, Next,

01:36
Click on Have Disk, Now you click on Browse. Now, you navigate to the location of your Mediatek VCOM driver,

01:45
this is mine here, let me take you back. Mediatek VCOM drivers, Drivers, USB VCOM driver.

01:55
Now, you select the folder according to your PC's specs. I'm using a Windows 8 so I'm going to select the

02:02
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.

02:14
Click Open, OK, Next, Next. If you get a prompt telling you that this driver is not signed

02:29
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

02:35
is because the driver you just installed is not digitally signed so Windows believes it might not exactly work

02:44
but that really doesn't matter. What you're after is that the following driver was installed

02:49
Mediatek DA USB VCOM Port. So VCOM drivers have been installed so you click on Finish.

02:56
Now, back to flashing. Now, we have our drivers installed so the first thing you'll want to do is to launch your

03:04
Infinix Flash Tool. You right-click and run as Administrator and wait for the tool to come up.

03:23
Its pretty much the same as SP Flash tool. You'll see that the settings are a lot simpler.

03:31
For SP Flash tool, you have a lot of options at the top which allows you to select which files you wish to flash.

03:37
With this, it doesn't exactly work that way but that doesn't matter. The first thing you'll want to do is to

03:44
-at this point- switch off your phone and don't yet connect it to PC via the USB cord.

03:52
You just switch off the phone and leave it the way it is. Now, you click this Browser button

04:02
then you navigate to the location of the backup (firmware) you wish to flash This is the stock backup

04:14
I wish to flash or the stock rom. You open, select the scatter file and click Open.

04:22
Now, we have the file loaded here. The next thing you'll want to do is click Start. You'll see that Start is greyed

04:32
and Stop is green in color so that means we're good to go. Now, connect the switched off phone to the PC

04:42
via the USB cord and then flashing should begin. I'll do that just now.

04:50
OK, so flashing has begun. Its very important you do not interrupt this process. Leave it to complete

04:59
before you disconnect the phone and then boot it up. Do not interrupt this process.

05:04
Alright! flashing has begun so I just wait till 100% before I disconnect. Alright! Flashing was successful

05:20
and I have this green OK prompt. Now, if the phone is stuck at boot logo after flashing, just

05:27
just take out the battery (if removable) but if inbuilt, just boot into recovery mode and do a factory reset

05:34
and you should be taken to the setup wizard. --------------------------
