I have the following:

Devices and printers-right click properties tab : General: Maker not available, Model ifive_mini_3GS, Model N° not available, Category unknown, Description not available.

Hardware: USB composite device (Microsoft drivers-Asustek, can be updated), USB MTP device (MS drivers-Asustek, cannot be updated or uninstalled), Yun OS ACB Interface (Aliyun drivers, can be updated).

Device Manager: Mobile device (USB MTP device, "works correctly"), 5 ports as described in your attachment which I had installed manually (all with a yellow flag, and all saying "this device cannot run-Code 10 error), Yun OS phone (Yun OS ACB Interface, "works correctly")

My tab is on "MTP multimedia device"; and still nothing in Windows explorer, with or without USB debug mode activated.
[Android General] Jajku:
Yours PC.

1. USB composite device (Microsoft drivers-Asustek

2. USB MTP device (MS drivers-Asustek

3. Yun OS ACB Interface (Aliyun drivers <---for tablet or other machine?

My PC.

So I think Microsoft drivers-Asustek are ok , (seems you got Asus motherboard?)

But i got this 2 differential maybe its driver problem?

In screenshot you can see how my PC regonise as FNF tablet and reported FNF machine?

I just got my ifive mine 3gs tonight. So far it's great. I froze/disabled the 3 chinese language widgets on the home screen and now it seems clean. I haven't rooted it. It was charging super slow and after testing I realized it's included USB cable was also a data cable so no fast charging. Using a http://www.amazon.com/BESTOPE-Detai...DO/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_2/189-4458013-3042948 I found that It was charging at 450mAh-500mAh using the original data cable. By switching to a fast charge cable It went up to 1100mAh-1300mAh charge speed. It came with build 1.1.0_20140611 firmware. Is there anything bad I need to watch out for with that build? It isn't offering me any OTA updates.

download link for 2.0.4?
[Android General] mexusbg:
I have iFive 3GS tablet running Android KitKat 4.4.2 (FW version 2.0.3).

The device has a "16GB" of storage, and I have a 16 GB sdcard.

SDCARD is mounted at /storage/sdcard0 and is known in settings as SD CARD

Internal storage is mounted at /storage/sdcard1 and is known in settings as Phone Storage

The strange thing is that Settings->Storage shows the same size of Applications on both SD CARD and Phone Storage - check the screenshots.

Is it only a bug in the settings menu or do apps take space on both storages. Is there a way to disable this behavior?

I can provide more information if needed.

The device is rooted.

Windows Explorer problem

Hi to all and especially to Jajku and Macarthur.

Still stuck unfortunately with the same problem of my tab (and my mtk phone) not recognized as MTP devices (or any devices, for that matter) in windows explorer despite my numerous attempts (different android devices, different PCs, different drivers, etc.). I am totally desperate and looking for a competent and patient specialist who could give me a simple step by step method to solve this problem. (see my previous posts)

Thanks!!
[Android General] Jajku:
Hi

Sounds wery hard problem i dont know what say ,maybe you need proffessional at your home or must go to Computer service.

But few tips what you can check.

1.There is topic YunOS ACB Interface driver problem and they recomended uninstall driver. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...re-yunos/50e18241-c1d2-4645-8d27-ce254b27410d

2.Are all PC:s home or office PC:s ? You run all as administator ?And anykind antivirus/firewall dont block phones?
[Android General] MacArthur67:
I'm sorry for your problems with the tab, but this problem beats me. I have patience but not the necessary expertise to solve this problem.

However, like Jajku I have also been thinking of antivirus/firewall that blocks the PC connection. If you can rule out the samaba server? You have the same problem in both tab and phone so what is the common denominator in both devices? It used to work in both devices before so it should be something you introduced. What did you do in both devices before you got this problem?

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

Still only 2.0.3 on the official site:

http://www.ifive.com.cn/service/downloads/ifive mini3 3GS/index.html

I also don't find any 2.0.4 on the 5fans forum or any news about any future release of Android 5 for 3GS. There is already an Android 5.0.2 Preview for iFive Air, but that's a RK3288 device so it probably don't mean anything for the 3GS.

Sorry, but your problem does not belong to this thread. Please join or open another thread about mtk drivers. Thanks for understanding.

@ mexusbg

I am really sure that there's no chance for us to see Lollipop on our device. But with the next model if you are willing to buy it. But it is better to have a well working kitkat system than a laggy Lollipop.

sim slot

When I had to replace my simcard, some pins came with it and now it is broke. Anyone had the same issue? And how did you fix it?

Does anyone know a place to find a replacement part? That would be with the sdslot also, cause it is on one board....
[Android General] MacArthur67:
There are hundreds of different SIM + SD card tray holders (2-in-1) on AliExpress. Maybe you can solder away/disconnect the broken one and identify it?

http://www.aliexpress.com/premium/sim-sd-connector.html

Or take a photo of the card reader and ask a few of the bigger spare parts dealers on AliExpress if they can get it. I have done that successfully several times with other a bit odd spareparts.
[Android General] Jajku:
No broken pins issues with this tablet.

You must open tablet cover ,here was picture opened tablet earlier in this topic.

Soldering iron must be wery good small and/or adjustable temperature , it's possible damaged circuit board if to much heat (Printed circuit boards copper are wery thin and if to much heat it's easily broken)
[Android General] DiMacho:
This is the part, i am not a person who can do some soldering! So should ask someone to do it. Faster is to get the part, 2screws and working again;)
[Android General] Jajku:
Yes looks easy job.

If you open tablet ,can you check is it possible put extras like 2 usb hdmi dual sim? etc and please post picture when its open.

First of all my best regards for your well known 2.0.3 mod rom;

I've just installed it on my brand new iFive Mini with stock 2.0.4 from 12-01-2014, but unfortunetely the touch screen doesn't work anymore...

I could not find any original 2.0.4 to flash from recovery...

Any help will be apreciated!

Found 2.0.4, thanks to user "alestro" from freaktab

[Android General] ozerec88:

Can you upload to us your firmware,please?

We cant find the 2.0.4 version in FNF webpage...:(:(:(:(
[Android General] selmandeli:
I will, If you tell me how. I get the tablet with installed 2.0.4. I don't know how to convert it into a flashable file.
[Android General] ozerec88:
Do you have tried to do a backup with the stock recovery? to see if its possible..but maybe [MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION] its the right man for this task. He can help you to do both things, root and a flashable zip.

A greeting
[Android General] pogodancer:
Thanks, very good idea. But I tried to port this rom to the mini3GS without success. I did not play around with the kernel. I guess I don't understand why people want other firmwares and kernels. Me or better my wife is using this device with the 2.0.3 firmware and is very happy. Everything runs quick and smooth. Remember: Never change a running system.

---------- Post added at 08:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

You only can make a backup with MTK Droid Tools (when your device is recognized by this tool on your computer - on mine it is not). The other side is that it is only a backup from a third party. IMHO it is not as fine as an untouched stockrom. If there is a chance to download the complete 2.0.4 rom it will be a pleasure to root and clean the rom for you.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

Don't forget that after rooting and using a custom recovery you will not be able to install OTA updates from FNF.

If you still want to root your device you can install a custom recovery and flash SuperSU. You can test this package and use the recovery of your choice (Clockwork or TWRP):

Root_mini3GS

If you have custom recovery you could do for that for the other users:

- Backup your system now for you

- Do a factory reset in the recovery (Advanced Wipe: Dalvik, Cache, System)

- Backup this clean system (now without all your datas) for the other users

- Upload this clean system backup for the xda users

- Restore your own backup (from the first step) to be back like before

Use the flashtool and install the 2.0.3 mod directly to your device. No need to flash another stockrom before. Good luck.

Hello pogodancer, a while ago you gave me a link to the custom recovery file for your great 2.03 Rom. Through a reinstall from my pc i lost the flashable file from zippishare. The old link is dead. Can you post it again for me.!? I want to reinstall a clean system with a new recovery. Thanks for your help if you want to post it again!!

Hi geertkol

Use CWR or TWRP from my post dated 2015-04-25. Both should work for you.

[Android General] pogodancer:
Maybe tonight. Thanks for the hit.
[Android General] pogodancer:
1. [MENTION=6201761]ozerec88[/MENTION]: Thanks again for the link. Please keep your eyes open for new factory firmwares. Because I for myself have no reason to watch out for new roms as long as the existing firmwares do work fine. And my wife's mini3GS runs like charm with the last firmwares. But if you find new factory firmwares it is pleasure for me to modify them for the users.

2. Important: Before flashing firmwares write down your IMEI, MAC-address, serial number. And do a NVRAM backup with MTKdroidTools. This time it was very important for me to have a NVRAM backup. Because I had a NVRAM err in the wifi settings. I just could solve it by restoring the NVRAM. Also do step by step as I mentioned in the attached installation instructions.

3. I modified the 2.0.4 firmware. I did not found any bugs. It is working very fine. But to be honest I didn't see an advantage to 2.0.3 - maybe you find something. Titanium Backup works but it's a bit tricky: Changing the backup directory and reboot the device. That's it. Mounting as USB device connecting to Windows works (at least for the external sd - because the internal sd is used for Android data as provided as a unified storage)

4. But to cut a long story short - here is the modified firmware:

[MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION]

Hello pogodancer, i have my doubts about flashing because your 2.03 Rom works great. Is your 2.04 Rom better, what is better or different from your 2.03 Rom. Only if there is a good reason, more usable options or smoother usage and a greater battery life maybe i want to flash your new Rom. Can you give me the changelog and your xperience? Thanks for all your great help with this tablet!!
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ geertkol

No big Advantage in 2,0,4
[Android General] geertkol:
[MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION]

Thanks for your answer about 2.04 Rom. Do you know if there will be a lollipop for our device in the near future? Second question, what is the best dualboot tablet? Any thoughts?
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ geertkol

1. No idea about LP. But it is better to have a good KK than a buggy LP. I recommend a Titanium Backup and flashing 2.0.4.

2. I have the X98 3G and I am amazed. It's the fastest China device I ever had. It seems to be very popular and there is a big community on XDA. Maybe because of this there could be a real custom rom like CM in the future. IMHO because of the global leadership of Intel and their low prices only MTK and Intel will survive the fight 4 portable devices. Forget Rockchip, Allwinner and the other smaller chip builders.

Can i enable Explorer "use page computerversion" setting always on?

Because after using google some pages do not open ,only when i enable this option, actually using 8 inch screen my opinion its better if always on.

If its not possible change, eny other explorer allow that?
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ Jajku

You can use another Browser if your actual Browser doesnt let you Set to Desktop Mode always.
[Android General] ozerec88:
I have proved many browsers...and I think that CM browser is the fastest and better, and have a function to enable desktop mode too.
[Android General] Jajku:
Ok thankyou.

Btw is it bossible get framework to (separate windows) to tablet.

I try few what i find google play but not like real framework thing.

[MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION],

Thanks for your information. Do you have the teclast X98 3G dualboot or only android? How performs the teclast in comparison with the Ifive mini 3GS? I think that i wait for a new 9.7 tablet with dualboot Lollipop and Windows 10. What do you think of other tablets like Onda. Equal quality like Teclast? Are there also new Ifive tablets with dualboot on the way?? I own the Ifive mini, Ipad air and Elephone p6000 smartphone with Lollipop. I am happy with all.
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ geertkol

- I bought the X98 3G dualboot with 64GB. Android runs a little faster than on the mini 3GS.

- Never had an Onda. But mostly heard bad things about their firmware.

- Teclast is good and worth the money (It's my 5th Teclast).

- If you have other questions about these things please pm me. Because that's off topic. Thanks.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
Is the NVRAM file specific for every 3GS in any way except MAC adress and IMEI number? Could I for example use your NVRAM file backup and then just change IMEI and MAC?

The “NVRAM WARNING: Err=0x10″ is a common MediaTek problem which is caused by poorly configured NVRAM data from the beginning. Fortunately the problem can be solved with a little change in the WIFI file in the NVRAM using a HEX editor in a PC. There is an easy to follow instruction in the link below that even people with only basic computer skills should have no problem in following.

http://www.trishtech.com/2015/02/fixing-nvram-warning-err0x10-in-android-wifi/
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ MacArthur

Thanks. Good to know.

I think the NVRAM is compatible but I never tried. And the problem is that it contains the IMEI (afaik).
[Android General] MacArthur67:
Yes, but the IMEI can be quite easily changed so that's no problem. If someone gets NVRAM problems we could post a "generic" NVRAM file here. Just set the IMEI to 123… or something like that before backing up the file in MTKDroidTools. Piece of cake! ;)

Off topic:

Buy the way, I see you use an UMI. How's the quality? I just bought a few UMI Hammer (MT6732) in China for friends who wants a cheap reasonably fast 4G phone. I also bought a few iOcean X9 (MT6752) for those who wants a more powerful and thin phone (my dad for example). Do you have any experience of iOcean?
[Android General] pogodancer:
@ MacArthur

Good idea. Somebody (or maybe me when I have time) can upload a generic NVRAM as you described. Could be really helpful for others.

My UMI smartphone for 140 USD is very good and very big. Never had an iOcean. My son has the Ulephone Be pro which is very good too. Before he had an Elephone G7. I never will buy again an Elephone. It is absolutely cheap crap with buggy firmware. Be aware.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
I might also have time to do it while (if) I flash your 2.0.4 in the near future.

I'm also a bit hesitant to Elephone since I noticed that the earlier models share hardware with the cheapest Chinese street store Samsung copy fake/no-name phones.

The hardware in these earlier Elephones were identified as from the manufacturer "Alps", same as for the cheap Ch street store shi t. Same as for the "brand" called "Star" and all those white-box phones that are called things like Note 4, N7100, N9100 and things like that. Even the rom files are named with a string containing the name "Alps". I think Elephone are better now and I know from geertkol that now they at least have hidden the "Alps" heritage in the device info and file names. However, a bit worrying is that even the newer Elephone models exists with the "Star" name. At least in China and probably on AliExpress as an "Original Star brand" including fake specs and fake AnTuTu as usual!. :laugh:

Sorry for going off topic but it's a bit related because it's about MediaTek devices from China at least.
[Android General] Jajku:
Dualboot

[MENTION=4546777]pogodancer[/MENTION] is it possible get Linux or Windows dualboot to this tablet?
[Android General] MacArthur67:
You ask pogodancer but I can answer what I know. You need an Intel SoC to make that work really well. However, my friend runs both Linux Ubuntu and Windows XP as virtual machines on a MTK8392 tab. He has no use for the virtual XP machine and do that just for fun, but the Ubuntu machine runs fine. Check LinuxonAndroid on sourceforge.net.
[Android General] MacArthur67:
I'm interested in that X98 Air for my elderly mom who prefer Android but sometimes needs Windows for her internet banking. How much of the 32GB is really free with two OS on the drive and how is the memory shared? The tab is a bit cheap now, ~$180 in China, maybe cheaper, and seems good value for the money. Is the AnTuTu ~35,000 correct?
[Android General] ozerec88:
Please can you stop of spam this thread? you dont know open a new thread only for that questions? I am seeing you do spam in the thread a week ago... I am waiting because I think...yes, he has stopped today, but no...you still.

[Android General] MacArthur67:
That's very interesting Mr. ozerec88 because I have not made any posts in this thread for months until 2 days ago, but before that I have made many tenths of posts here and none of them contains any spam. Are you drunk or what's your problem? It so happens that I respect pogodancers opinion and I replied to a post by him, which in turn was a reply to another member of this group. Yes, my question was off topic, but it's at least related. If you want to bark like a dog, bark up the right tree please!
