Advan i7K Firmware Flash File Download [Stock Rom]

The Advan i7K is a 7-inch 4G LTE tablet from 2019, designed as an affordable device for connectivity and media consumption. It features a unique combination of hardware and software: it is powered by a MediaTek MT8735B chipset, but its firmware comes in the .cpb format, requiring the YGDP (or QGDP) Tool for installation, a method typically used for Spreadtrum devices.

This is the official stock firmware package for restoring your Advan i7K. It is the correct solution for fixing a completely dead or bricked tablet (mati total), resolving a bootloop where the device is stuck on the Advan logo, or performing a clean installation to remove viruses and software errors.

Disclaimer: Flashing this firmware will completely erase all personal data from the tablet’s internal storage, including your apps, photos, contacts, and files. Please back up any important data before you begin.

How to Flash Stock Firmware

Flashing the Advan i7K is a special process. Even though it has a MediaTek chip, you must use the YGDP Tool, not SP Flash Tool. First, install the MediaTek VCOM drivers. Open the YGDP Tool, enter the password (e.g., ‘9527’ or ‘369’), and load the .cpb firmware file via the “Config” menu. Click “Start,” then power off your tablet. Press and hold the Volume Down key while connecting it to your PC to begin the flashing process.

Device-Specific Troubleshooting for Advan i7K

• CRITICAL – Do NOT Use SP Flash Tool: This device has a MediaTek chipset, but the firmware is a .cpb file. You must use the YGDP or QGDP Tool. Attempting to extract the contents and flash with SP Flash Tool will fail and may brick your device.
• Driver Installation: For the YGDP Tool to detect this MediaTek device, you must have the MediaTek VCOM drivers installed correctly. If the device is still not detected, you can also try installing the Spreadtrum SCI drivers, as the YGDP tool sometimes defaults to looking for them.
• YGDP Tool Password: The flashing tool is password protected. The most common default passwords are 9527 or 369. You must enter one of these to log in and configure the tool.
• “Invalid CPB File” Error: If the YGDP tool gives this error, it means your downloaded firmware file is incomplete or corrupted. Download the file again and ensure you are loading the .cpb file, not the .zip archive.

FAQs

Q1. Why can’t I use SP Flash Tool on my MediaTek Advan i7K?

For this specific model, Advan chose to package the firmware in the .cpb format, which is not compatible with SP Flash Tool. Therefore, you must use the YGDP/QGDP tool, which is designed to handle .cpb files.

Q2. The YGDP tool is asking for a password. What is it?

The most common passwords for the YGDP Assembly Tool are ‘9527’ and ‘369’. Try these to log in.

Q3. My Advan i7K is dead after a failed update. Will this fix it?

Yes. If the problem is software-related, this firmware and the YGDP tool are the correct procedure for unbricking the tablet and restoring it to its factory condition.

Q4. Will this process remove the Google Account (FRP) lock?

No. Flashing the stock firmware restores the OS but does not bypass Factory Reset Protection (FRP). You will still need to enter the login details of the last Google account that was synced to the tablet to complete the setup.
