❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q1. How can I be sure if I have an i55 or i55D?
- The most reliable way is to check the model number on the original box or on the sticker under the battery (if it’s removable). If the phone can turn on, go to
Settings > About Phone. The model number will be listed there. Do not guess, as the risk of bricking is extremely high. - Q2. Can I “upgrade” my Advan i55 to Android 7.0 using the i55D firmware?
- No. They are different hardware platforms. The i55D firmware is not compatible with the i55. Attempting to flash it will fail and will likely damage the phone’s bootloader, making it unrecoverable.
- Q3. I have the i55D with 1GB of RAM. What happens if I flash the 2GB RAM firmware?
- It is strongly advised not to. Flashing firmware intended for a different RAM amount can cause the phone to not boot, or lead to constant system instability and crashes. You must use the firmware file that exactly matches your phone’s hardware variant.
