Help Superpad 2 Flytouch 3 firmware update-Official Releases

Hell everyone,
I am new this forum. I have ordered my 32gb iBex Flytouch3 (FT3) SP2 from China Grabber and I received a tracking number also. Please advice me whether I have to install this latest firmware on my FT3. Do I need external SD card for doing this?

I have ordered this Tablet with an internal 32GB Nand Flash. I am from India whether I can use my 3G dongle to browse Net. Can I upgrade my OS to Android 3.0 or Honeycomb 3.0 or latest versions?

I could not find any reviews fro 32GB FT3 Tablets o9n this forum. Any one tried this Tablet? Are there any complications?

How is the Cam and Speaker quality?

Please do respond since I am curious to know all these.
Thank you

Apad FlyTouch3, as a touchscreen very slow ... there is a fix for this problem?

slow? its a resistive screen, if you are used to a capacitive touch screen it will seem unresponsive. No fixes....you just live with it. You will also find it better after the cpu gets some spare time so don't expect it to work at all well until it has finished booting and syncing.

No.. you don't have to. Get used to it first, make sure everything works, read some posts about the newer firmwares and then decide if you want to update it. I still have Tims 4e on mine.

Depends on the model number.....but I believe all the FT3's from CG are DISCO model. If that is the case then yes...you will need an external tf card for firmware updates.

That depends on the model of your 3G dongle and the firmware on your tablet. AFAIK you will need either s01's firmware or Tims firmware. See SuperPad2 Flytouch3 Tim Rom Tips
for the dongles that are supported by these firmwares.

there must be hundreds of reviews on the internet...the trouble is there are just about as many different models of FT3..Your best bet is to read the threads on apad.tv as they are sponsored by CG and most comments refer to the Disco model.

I don't understand why people buy the 16 & 32GB models.. the system partition is partitioned to 4GB anyway, the rest of the space is just storage space on another partition, which you could just have with the external tf card (or USB HDD ) and the applications are tiny when compared to PC applications.. you will never even fill a 4GB card with apps & stuff like films are better on an external card due to the time taken to write large file..... better done on a PC!

Enjoy your new toy!!

My friend iam also from India Got the flytouch 2 /superpad 3 last month 16 gb. For me tims v6 is working fine specially battery life gone upto 6 t 8 hours hours from 2 hours, Touch is great . Just check what version they supply and decide upon ur self.One thing keep in mind this is not windows ,if something goes wrong it will be best for using paper weight or door stopper. So you need to do hours of research and gain knowledge before trying anything.
First check the instrument how do you fell ,the most imp part is battary life and touch sensor.

Never click the reset button i pressed to reset and lost everything from flash to wifi .Well that pressing proved to be good for me i installed the tims 6a and found this improvement.
i
My superpad 111 version
Model number
Disco10
Android version
2.2-20110803
5 v charges

was not happy from the day one as battery was not Surviving more than 2 hours on a full charge & I was cursing the seller he duped me saying 8000mahbattary and after with the accidental press of reset button i lost flaash and the unit became bad to worse. Last nigh a joined this forum and researched for hours ahd of course with the support i decided to install the Tims version 6. I knew if something goes wrong will brick the unit, Atlast followed that prodcdure in installed on my device it took 5 minutes (that 5 minutes were much more than hours of research)

Final result after instalation of version.
Personally i say its 1000 times better than the orignal supplied firmware
its because

1. Battary life shooted upto 8 hours ( as it worked non stop video with wifi on for 3.5 hours for 30 % usage )
2. Speakers and headphone is giving really awesome sound
3. touch has become more sensitive.
4.graphics quality improved
5.camera working absolutly fine
6.Mic too working fine
7.No problems with gallery
8.Wifi working very fine and good speeds never broke the the link in 4 hours test.
9.Market is awsome both paid and free apps are displayed
10 Youtube working very fine
Last but not the least it has given my tablet worth money.
 
I recently bought a Flytouch 3 to play and experiment with.
Charger failed within 24hrs which was not too much of a problem and later the power connecter failed.
Apart from this I was quite impressed and everthing seemed as it should be.
Later I attempted to load Copilot 8 and the completely failed.
On reading this forum I decided to upgrade the Rom which I did with no problems at all.
I did notice that the boot sequence took more than twice the time it took origionally.
I found I could load Copilot and succeeded in getting it working quite easily.
I did find that as the tablet was the 4gb version I had to load Copilot maps on the removable micro SD card.
I thought I would re flash the Rom using a 16Gb internal card to hopefully loads maps on the internal card.
The re flash was succesfull but the boot time is now impossibly long
sometimes 180 seconds.
After booting the system is very slow to complete commands.
I tried going back to the origional configuration using the origional 4Gb card but the system is still un-acceptably slow.
Any ideas as to how to resolve this.
Thanks in advance for any help

Sorry I dunno then... I don't use 3G.. perhaps someone who does will be along soon to help you. I assume you read all of Tims tips and followed his suggestion about reading all of s01's posts too.

Hi,
I am trying to load TIM6a on my 4GB Flytouch 3 Superpad 2.
Model number: SAWEE10
Android version Android_2_20110430
Baseband version: unknown
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 semtime@semtime-server #2
Build number: FRF85b

1. I have tried formatting the micro SD card and putting the two TIM6a files on it at the root of the SD, inserting it into the tablet and powering it on. It will boot to the normal OS and not go through any update.

2. I have tried the above with the TIM6a.zip file renamed to update.zip

3. I have tried the button power-hold-home, power-menu-home and it will go into the countdown screen to the next countdown screen and will stop forever at "reboot in 1s".

Is there something I am missing, or will I need to burn these files to update the system with the USB to PC and a burntool?
Thanks and Cheers,
Jim

the problem in my device is when i install something OR uninstall something, when i restart my device all the things i installed are NOT THERE. and things i uninstalled are still there ready to work. its like my device was deep freezed! whenever i save things on it, after a restart, all the things i saved, installed, uninstalled and even my game stats are not save.. so i need to redo it again..

i already tried to factory reset it by pressing the power button plus menu button, but its just doing a recovery process, which still doesn't help. before i used those buttons to factory reset my device. now its not functioning.

another thing i did to try to fix it, i tried to upgrade its firmware to 20110712_Tim5a, but after a successful upgrade.. when i removed the microSD card and turn-on the device. holy F*ck my device is still back to its freaking state like NOTHING HAPPEN..


PLEASE HELP GUYS..

If it is out of warranty, open your FT3 up, replace the internal tf card with a decent one and re-flash any firmware back onto the tablet, then post back here if it fixes it. If it's still under warranty you might want to contact the seller with a view to return it as faulty.

Hi in_msz,
My fellow Indian. Thank you very much for your heart touching response on my query. But I am really sorry for not replying it immediately. Sad thing I was out for some time. Today only I could read your reply. I have not received my iBex 32 GB FT3 SP2 so far from China Grabber. I initiated a dispute through my PayPal account as it has taken more than 28 days by now. CG also initiated investigation on this delay. Hope I will receive it soon. I got moral boost from your response that I can get better acquainted with my Tablet now. But I want to ask you why on earth these manufacturers install such inferior version of Firmware to make us trouble?

I also thank dart16 for his point wise replies to my queries. Yes I could have not gone for 32 GB version of FT3 instead I could have purchased 32 GB external micro SD card. Anyhow I can not help myself now.

Any more experiences on 32 GB FT3?

Thanks again
Adam

Hi dart16,
Thank you very much for your lengthy reply. I appreciate your concern on me. In fact I do felt bad after placing the order for my 32 GB FT3. I now feel 8 GB could have been better option to save money. I have not received my FT3 so far from CG. I hope they will do some thing to ensure my deliver. It is more than 28 days by now. Share your further experiences on this Tablet.
Thanking you

I have a flytouch 3 super pad 2 and I wanted my 3G dongle to work so I decided to update the firmware to the Tim 6a I think it was. I did everything by the instructions, downloaded, unzipped the files onto a micro SD placed the micro SD into the turned off tablet and powered on, but it does not update. I've tried EVERYTHING, formatting the card different downloads, checked the file size (firmware 2, 2.762KB Firmware discovery 182,836KB) even tried putting on USB out of desperation and nothing works. I've now restored the factory setting and made sure I'm shutting down properly by holding the power off for 7 seconds etc and will not update. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and in desperate need for my sanity for this to be fixed. PLEASE HELP!!

Firstly, check your tablets model number..menu/settings/about device

The model number has to be either DISCO or DISCO10 for Tims firmware update to work.....report back!
