How to Flash Infinix Hot 50i (X6531B) Stock Firmware (SP Flash Tool) — Fix Bootloop, Unbrick & FRP
Flashing the factory firmware is the reliable way to revive a Infinix Hot 50i that won’t boot, unbrick it, clear an FRP lock or roll back a bad update. Here is the full procedure for the Infinix Hot 50i. The Infinix Hot 50i runs on the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset, so it flashes with SP Flash Tool (SPFT) — the MediaTek flashing app for Windows. ROM Palace hosts 7 official stock firmware files for this model as a free, resume-supported direct download.
Before you start
- Back up anything you can — flashing erases the phone.
- Charge the battery above 50% so it cannot die mid-flash.
- Confirm your exact model code (X6531B) in Settings > About phone or on the box — flashing another model’s firmware can brick the device.
- Use a Windows PC and a good-quality USB data cable (not a charge-only cable).
💡 Flashing the wrong firmware, or pulling the cable during a flash, can hard-brick the phone. Only use the firmware listed for the Infinix Hot 50i on its ROM Palace page.
What you need
- The Infinix Hot 50i stock firmware — download it free from the Infinix Hot 50i firmware page on ROM Palace.
- SP Flash Tool (SPFT) — the MediaTek flashing app for Windows.
- the MediaTek USB VCOM / preloader driver installed on the PC so the tool can see the phone.
How to flash Infinix Hot 50i stock firmware
- Install the MediaTek USB VCOM (preloader) driver on your Windows PC, then open SP Flash Tool.
- In SP Flash Tool, click Scatter-loading and select the MTxxxx_Android_scatter.txt file from the extracted firmware.
- Leave the mode on Download Only (this keeps your IMEI safe) and click Download.
- Power the phone off completely and remove it from the cable.
- Connect the powered-off phone to the PC — the tool detects the preloader and the progress bar starts. On some models you hold Volume Down while plugging in.
- Wait until a green tick appears (Download OK). Do not unplug before that.
- Unplug and power on — the first boot after a flash can take a few minutes.
💡 The Infinix Hot 50i uses a MediaTek Helio G81 SoC — a "PMT changed" or "chip type not match" error means the scatter/firmware is for a different model — use only the file listed for this exact device.
Common problems and fixes
- Stuck in a bootloop after an update: flash the matching stock firmware from this page to restore a clean system.
- Tool never detects the phone: reinstall the MediaTek USB VCOM / preloader driver, try another USB 2.0 port, and connect with the phone fully off.
- FRP / Google account lock after a reset: flashing the full stock firmware clears the locked system partition.
- Battery drains fast or the phone won’t hold a charge after an update: reflash the stock firmware; if it persists, the 5000 mAh cell itself may be worn.
- Failed or interrupted OTA: a clean stock flash is the safe way back to a bootable system.
