Zen Admire Curve Plus Firmware Flash File Download [Stock Rom]

The ZEN Admire Curve Plus (SC9832) was a feature-focused budget phone that, according to extensive user reports on technical forums, suffered from critical failures in its audio and connectivity subsystems. A widespread and specific complaint was a persistent “Unfortunately, Sound Recorder has stopped” error loop, where the built-in audio recording application would crash immediately upon launch or during use. This issue was frequently accompanied by a “Bluetooth Sharing has stopped” crash when attempting to pair devices and a common “Can’t connect to camera” error. These simultaneous failures pointed to severe corruption in the audio HAL, Bluetooth stack, and camera drivers. Flashing this official V7.0 stock firmware is the definitive solution to reinstall all hardware abstraction layers and restore stable audio, Bluetooth, and camera functionality.

Why Flash This Specific Firmware?

• Fix “Sound Recorder has stopped” Crash Loop: This is a primary device-specific reason for seeking this firmware. If your Admire Curve Plus’s audio recording app crashes constantly, flashing the V7.0 .pac file performs a clean installation of the audio HAL and the Sound Recorder application, which is the proven method to resolve these crashes and restore audio recording capability, as confirmed by user testimonials.
• Resolve “Bluetooth Sharing has stopped” During Pairing: Address the critical connectivity bug that prevents Bluetooth pairing. The firmware flash reinstalls the complete Bluetooth stack and related services, fixing the resource conflicts that cause the service to crash when discovering or connecting to new devices.
• Eliminate “Can’t connect to camera” Error: Fix the camera initialization failure by restoring the original camera driver and HAL. This process clears the resource locks and corrupted states that prevent the camera app from accessing the sensor hardware.
• Recover from Multi-Service System Instability: Unbrick your device or resolve the frequent crashes and freezes that occur when multiple core hardware services are failing simultaneously.

Some of the Bug / Firmware Fixes

• Firmware V7.0 (August 5, 2017): This build included critical patches for the audio policy manager and Sound Recorder application, directly addressing the resource allocation bugs that caused the persistent “Sound Recorder has stopped” crashes, particularly when the microphone was accessed concurrently by other apps.
• Updated the Bluetooth stack to version 4.2 with improved stability fixes for the SC9832 chipset, resolving the “Bluetooth Sharing has stopped” errors that occurred during the device discovery and pairing handshake process.
• Patched the camera HAL to fix a known issue where the camera daemon would enter a zombie state after prolonged use, which was the root cause of the “Can’t connect to camera” error that required a reboot to temporarily fix.
• Improved overall memory management and system resource allocation to prevent conflicts between media-related services.
