Infinix Hot 30 (X6831) Safe Downgrade Firmware (2024 to 2023) for Repair

This post provides a special “safe downgrade” firmware for the Infinix Hot 30 (X6831). Technicians have found that the latest 2024 security patches on this model block critical repair functions, especially IMEI writing, in professional tools like Pandora Box and DFT Pro. This firmware will revert your device from the 2024 security patch to a 2023 patch, re-enabling these functions.

Why Downgrade from 2024 to 2023 Security?

The 2024 update (Helio G88) patched the vulnerabilities that tools like Pandora and DFT use for repairing IMEI, NVRAM, and other calibration data. Flashing this 2023 firmware is the only way to make the phone compatible with these tools again.

• Enables IMEI Repair with Pandora Box.
• Enables IMEI Repair with DFT Pro.
• Fixes “Security Incompatible” or “Write Failed” errors in tools.
• Restores the ability to write NVRAM/Modem partitions.
• This is a “Safe” downgrade (signed firmware) and will not brick the device if flashed correctly.

Requirements: Tools & Drivers

You must use a Windows PC and MediaTek-compatible tools. This process will erase all user data.

• Downgrade Firmware: The Infinix_X6831_2023_Security_File.zip provided on this page.
• Flashing Tool: The latest version of SP Flash Tool. Alternatively, Pandora Box and DFT Pro can also flash this firmware.
• MediaTek Drivers: Your PC must have the MediaTek USB VCOM Drivers installed.
• Windows PC & USB Cable: A reliable PC and USB-C cable.

How to Flash the Downgrade Firmware (SP Flash Tool)

Warning: This process will erase all data. Back up your phone first if possible.

1. Install Drivers: Install the MediaTek VCOM Drivers on your Windows PC and restart.
2. Extract Firmware: Unzip the downloaded X6831_Downgrade...zip file. You will find a scatter file (e.g., MT6769_Android_scatter.txt) inside.
3. Launch SP Flash Tool: Open flash_tool.exe.
4. Load Scatter File: Click on “Scatter-loading File” and select the MT6769_Android_scatter.txt from the firmware folder.
5. Set Mode: Change the dropdown menu from “Download Only” to “Firmware Upgrade”. This is the safest mode for downgrading.
6. Start Flashing: Click the “Download” button.
7. Connect Phone (BROM Mode):
   • Power off your Infinix Hot 30.
   • Press and hold both Volume Up + Volume Down buttons.
   • While holding the buttons, connect the USB cable to your PC.
8. The flash will begin (a red bar followed by a yellow bar). Release the buttons.
9. Wait: Do not disconnect. Wait for the green “OK” checkmark to appear in SP Flash Tool.
10. Reboot: Disconnect the phone and hold the Power button to reboot.

After Downgrade: Repair with Pandora / DFT

Now that your X6831 is running the 2023 security patch, your professional tools will work. Launch Pandora Box or DFT Pro, connect the phone in the required mode (e.g., BROM or Meta), and proceed with the IMEI repair. The operation will now connect and write successfully.

Conclusion

You have successfully downgraded your Infinix Hot 30 (X6831) from 2024 to 2023 security. This bypasses the new patch, allowing full repair functionality with Pandora, DFT Pro, and other MTK tools.
