Advan i6A Stock Firmware (All Versions)
The Advan i6A is a 5.5-inch budget smartphone from the Indonesian brand Advan, running Android Oreo. It is critical to know that this phone was released with at least two different, incompatible MediaTek chipsets, each requiring a different flashing tool. Restoring your phone’s software requires extreme care to select the correct file and procedure for your specific variant.
CRUCIAL WARNING: Check Your Chipset Before Flashing!
The Advan i6A was manufactured with two different and incompatible MediaTek chipsets:
- One with a MediaTek MT6737T chipset, which requires the SP Flash Tool.
- Another (often model 5501) with a MediaTek MT6739WW chipset, which requires the QGDP 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 chipset. If it turns on, go to Settings > About Phone and check the processor information. If it is bricked, check the original box.
Important Note: Please read the warning above carefully to identify your phone’s correct chipset before proceeding. This guide covers two different hardware versions and flashing methods. Using the wrong one will damage your phone. Flashing will erase all your data.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Q1. How do I know for sure which Advan i6A version I have?
- This is the most critical step. If the phone can turn on, go to
Settings > System > About Phoneand look for the CPU/Processor information. If it mentions MT6737T, use Version 1. If it mentions MT6739WW (often found in model 5501), use Version 2. If the phone is bricked, you must check the original retail box for specifications. Do not guess. - Q2. Why do two phones with the same name use different chipsets and flashing tools?
- Manufacturers sometimes change internal hardware components during a product’s lifecycle to manage costs or supply, without changing the public marketing name. These different chipsets require their own specific factory flashing tools (SP Flash Tool for scatter files, QGDP for .cpb files).
- Q3. Can I flash the QGDP firmware on my MT6737T phone?
- No. The firmware files are compiled for a specific chipset architecture. Attempting to flash the wrong file type with the wrong tool will fail and will almost certainly result in a hard brick, as the preloader and partition tables are incompatible.
