Device-Specific Troubleshooting for Advan X7 Plus
- CRITICAL: For X7 Plus (MT6580) ONLY: This firmware is specifically for the Advan X7 Plus, which uses an MT6580 chipset. It is NOT compatible with the original Advan X7, which uses a different (MT8382) chipset. Flashing the wrong firmware on the wrong model will brick the device permanently.
- PC Not Detecting the Tablet: This is the most common issue and is always due to improper driver installation. Uninstall any previous drivers, restart your PC, and perform a fresh installation of the MediaTek VCOM drivers. Your tablet should only be connected after clicking the “Download” button in the tool.
- SP Flash Tool “PMT changed” Error: If you encounter this error, it means the partition layout on your device is different from the firmware’s. To fix this, change the dropdown option in SP Flash Tool from “Download Only” to “Firmware Upgrade” and try flashing again.
- Fixing Frequent App Crashes: If you are constantly seeing “Unfortunately, the app has stopped” errors, it’s a sign of system instability, often due to the limited 1GB of RAM. A full firmware flash is the best way to fix this, as it restores all system files to a clean, stable state.
FAQs
- Q1. My Advan X7 Plus is dead (mati total). Will this firmware fix it?
- Yes. If the cause is a software brick (e.g., from a failed update or bad root attempt), this firmware is the standard solution to unbrick it.
- Q2. Can I use this on the regular Advan X7?
- No, absolutely not. The Advan X7 and Advan X7 Plus use different processors and their firmware files are not interchangeable. This firmware will damage a regular Advan X7.
- Q3. What Android version is this firmware?
- This is the stock firmware for Android 5.1 Lollipop.
- Q4. Will I lose my data by flashing this ROM?
- Yes, flashing with SP Flash Tool completely erases the tablet’s internal storage, deleting all your personal files, photos, and apps.
