Most AC8257 units have a hidden "Device Info" screen (usually via Settings > About > Status). If the unit is dead, check the white sticker on the physical motherboard:

• Common IDs: YT9217, YT9218, YT9260, XYAUTO, JY
• Example: If your label says "AC8257 YT9218B 2+32," you must only download firmware with that exact prefix.

For a working unit (but buggy):

1. Go to Settings > System > About Tablet.
2. Look for MCU Version (e.g., MTCE_HXD_V3.41).
3. Look for System Info or Kernel Version. Tap repeatedly on the "Android Version" or "Kernel" 5 times to enter hidden engineering mode.
4. Write down the Display ID (e.g., ili210x or ft5x0x_720p) and Resolution (1024x600 or 1280x720).
