Why Flash This Specific Firmware?

• Rear camera failure resolution: Multiple technicians on PinoyAndroid forums have documented cases where the R7’s rear camera becomes completely non-functional after software corruption. As discussed in a 2019 thread, this is often caused by corrupted camera HAL files that are properly reinstalled with the stock June 2018 firmware flash.
• Speaker distortion and audio quality fixes: Users on Filipino smartphone Facebook groups frequently report the R7 developing crackling speaker audio and distorted sound during calls. The June 2018 build specifically addresses audio driver issues that were present in earlier versions.
