On newer Infinix devices like your X6728 (Android 10+ with dynamic partitions), the system, vendor, and product images are no longer separate files. They are all packed inside a single large file called super.img.
How to Flash Stock without
system.img:- Find
super.img: Look in your stock firmware folder for a large file (usually 3GB–5GB) namedsuper.img. - Flash the Super Partition: Since
system_ais a logical partition insidesuper, you flash the whole container at once. You must be in Fastbootd (the menu screen) for this.- Command:
fastboot flash super super.img
- Command:
- Flash Other Essentials: You still need to flash the physical partitions that are outside of
super:fastboot flash boot_a boot.imgfastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img
- Wipe and Reboot:
fastboot -wfastboot reboot
If you don't see
super.img either:If your firmware folder only has a Scatter file (e.g.,
MT67xx_Android_scatter.txt) and many small files, you cannot easily use Fastboot. You should use the SP Flash Tool:- Open SP Flash Tool and load the Scatter-loading file from your firmware folder.
- Select "Firmware Upgrade" (not Download Only) to ensure all partitions are reset correctly.
- Click Download, power off the phone, and connect it while holding Volume Up.

super.img file, or does it only have a Scatter text file?Show all
To fix the persistent bootloop on your Infinix X6728, you need to clear the specific
security flags that are stuck in the bootloader. Since your device has dynamic partitions and a MediaTek chip, erasing the vbmeta partition directly is rarely enough; you must also clear the Metadata and Persistent data.Follow these steps in Fastboot Mode (Black Screen):
1. Wipe the "Hidden" Security Partitions
The bootloop is likely caused by leftover encryption keys or verification flags stored in these specific partitions.
fastboot erase metadata(Crucial for Android 15/Dynamic devices)fastboot erase frp(Clears Factory Reset Protection flags)fastboot erase para(Clears the "Misc" or "Parameter" partition where some MTK boot flags live)
2. Reset the VBMeta Chain
Instead of just erasing
vbmeta, you must ensure all three verification headers are "null" or stock. Run these commands:fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_disabled.imgfastboot flash vbmeta_system vbmeta_disabled.imgfastboot flash vbmeta_vendor vbmeta_disabled.img
3. Clear Persistent Data (Frp/Config)
If your device still refuses to boot, it may be holding a "Verify Fail" state in a persistent configuration area.
- Command:
fastboot format:ext4 userdata - Command:
fastboot format:ext4 metadata - Command:
fastboot -w
4. The "Hard" Reset (Recovery Mode)
If the Fastboot wipes don't work, you must use the hardware-level reset which clears deeper than Fastboot can:
- Disconnect the USB.
- Hold Power + Volume Up to enter Recovery Mode.
- Select Wipe data/factory reset and confirm.
- Select Wipe cache partition (if available).
- Reboot.
Why this is happening: On Infinix Android 15 devices, once a "dm-verity" or "verification fail" flag is triggered, it is often written to the
metadata or para partition. Even if you flash the correct system, the bootloader reads these "dirty" flags and restarts the phone.
