⚡ How to Flash Stock Firmware on Infinix, Tecno & iTel (SP Flash Tool)
Flashing stock firmware reinstalls the original software on your phone. It can fix a device stuck on the logo, revert a bad update, or restore a phone to factory condition. Most Infinix, Tecno and iTel phones use MediaTek chips and flash with SP Flash Tool. Read every step before you start.
⚠ Important. Flashing erases your data and can brick your phone if you use the wrong firmware or disconnect mid-flash. Back up first, charge above 50%, and download the ROM that matches your exact model code.
What you need
- SP Flash Tool
- MediaTek USB VCOM drivers
- A Windows PC
- USB cable
Steps
- Download the correct firmware. Find your exact model on ROM Palace and download the stock firmware that matches your model code and region. Using the wrong firmware is the number-one cause of a bricked device.
- Extract the firmware. Unzip the downloaded archive. Inside you will find a scatter file (a text file with "scatter" in its name) and several image files. Keep them together in one folder.
- Install MediaTek USB drivers. On your Windows PC, install the MediaTek USB VCOM / preloader drivers so the computer can detect your phone in flash mode. Restart the PC if needed.
- Open SP Flash Tool and load the scatter. Launch SP Flash Tool, click "Choose" next to Scatter-loading File, and select the scatter file from your firmware folder. The partition list will load automatically.
- Pick the flash mode. Select "Download Only" to keep your data where possible, or "Firmware Upgrade" for a clean install. Avoid "Format All + Download" unless you know what you are doing — it wipes everything including IMEI backups.
- Flash the phone. Power off the phone. Click "Download" in SP Flash Tool, then connect the powered-off phone with the USB cable. The tool detects it and flashes. Do not touch the cable until you see a green tick ("Download Ok").
- Boot up. Disconnect and power on the phone. The first boot after a firmware upgrade can take several minutes — this is normal. Your device now runs clean stock firmware.
Tips & troubleshooting
- If SP Flash Tool never detects the phone, reinstall the VCOM drivers and try a different USB port or cable.
- A red "BROM ERROR" usually means wrong drivers or a firmware that does not match your model.
- For a device asking for a Google account after reset, see our FRP guide.
