Q1. How do I know which Advan i5C version I have?

This is the most critical step. If the phone can turn on, go to Settings > About Phone and look for the Model Number. It will be either 5059 or LF5029. If the phone is bricked, you must remove the back cover and check the sticker under the battery area for the correct model number. Do not guess.

Q2. Why do two versions of the same phone use different firmware formats?

Manufacturers sometimes change their software packaging or internal components during a product's lifecycle. Even with the same chipset, the official factory firmware can be provided in different formats (.cpb for QGDP or scatter for SP Flash Tool), each requiring its own specific flashing application.

Q3. Can I flash the SP Flash Tool firmware on my 5059 model?

No. The firmware formats are completely incompatible. Attempting to flash a scatter file on a device that requires a .cpb file (or vice versa) will fail and will almost certainly brick the device by corrupting its bootloader.

Advan i5C Stock Firmware (5059 & LF5029 All Versions)

The Advan i5C is a 5.0-inch 4G LTE smartphone from the Indonesian brand Advan, running Android 6.0 Marshmallow. It is critical to know that this phone was released in at least two different versions, identified by different model numbers (5059 and LF5029). These versions use completely different firmware formats and flashing tools, making proper identification essential before attempting a software restoration.

CRUCIAL WARNING: Check Your Model Number Before Flashing!

The Advan i5C was manufactured in at least two different versions with incompatible software:

Model 5059 uses a .cpb firmware file and requires the QGDP Tool.
Model LF5029 uses a scatter firmware file and requires the SP Flash Tool.

Flashing the wrong firmware type on your phone will cause a permanent hard brick. Before you download any file, you MUST identify your phone’s exact model number. If it turns on, go to Settings > About Phone. If not, check the sticker under the battery.

Important Note: Please read the warning above carefully to identify your phone’s correct model number before proceeding. This guide covers two different versions and flashing methods. Using the wrong one will damage your phone. Flashing will erase all your data.
