There are at least two types of fixings for the case, one has small screws under the 4 round covers on the edge of the case and the other type dont have the screws, check and remove the screws, using a thin plastic strip (I use a guitar plectrum) slip it between the front glass and the side frame, start next to the on/off switch and work your way round until the front is free. BE CAREFUL of the two ribbon cables that connect the screen to the pcb, only open the two halves at the top of the tablet, keep the bottom together. Once you have it open you will have to remove the three (IIRC) screws that hold the pcb to the rear case. Carefully lift the pcb away, watch out for switches and switch covers catching on the case. Locate the internal tf card, slip it out of its holder and fit a new card. Reassemble in reverse order.

Download Tims latest firmware from SuperPad2 Flytouch3 Hybrid Tim Rom
Un-compress the two files (firmware2 and firmware-discovery) on a PC, download SDFormatter.exe Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!
Format your external tf card and copy the two firmware files onto the card. Ensure the copy completes without errors (check the file sizes.) place the tf card in the external slot of your tablet & press the reset button on the rear of the tablet. When the update has finished the tablet should switch itself off. Remove the external tf card and switch the tablet back on.

Thanks once again,
So the internal TF card which be replaced does not require any installation before replacing only external card with firmware will do the job ??

Hi all. My tablet superpad 3 fell off the table and now will not turn on. When you press the power button it starts to vibrate indefinitely and all. What can I do?

Oh dear!... just check it is charged...after that it depends if it is still under warranty.

You could try restoring it to factory settings, if it is a Disco model, hold the menu and back buttons and then press the on button, this will remove all your apps and rebuild the tablet operating system. - It might work.

There is an outside chance that the internal tf card has been dislodged from its' socket, but opening the FT3 will invalidate any warranty.

I need help, I just got the superpad 2 from china and the apps are all chinese. I tried installing from a website and it says its not compatiable because its not from my region. Then when I want to see new app in the android market it only shows chinese ones. How do I fix it to get english apps? So it can be compatible. Is it because of the firmware? Please help /:

Tried setting the language to English?

press the menu button on the top of the tablet, on the bar that opens along the bottom of the screen select the right most icon, on mine, the language is the tenth selection in the list that is shown, then, when the next screen opens select the top item and then scroll to english.....

If that doesn't work you will probably have to re-flash an english image, to do that you need to know what model you have...menu/settings/about device/model number (menu button/right most icon/last item in the list/third item down the list.)

Know any Chinese people?

Some manufacturers are putting lower capacity batteries in their FT's. Do you know what capacity yours is supposed to have?
Put it on charge with the tablet turned off, leave it overnight...it will be as charged as it is going to get in the morning.
Wifi......you don't by any chance have a d-link router do you?

Try re-booting the router and the tablet. If it still won't work try temporarily disabling the encryption on the router, tell the router to 'forget' the existing connection config for the tablet and set it all up from scratch again without encryption. This will eliminate/ confirm the problem area.

Another possibility is you have an older adsl setup and only have one usable IP address and your main pc is using it......contact your isp for instructions to connect further nodes to your router.

TY guy!
I will check for the battery.
Regarding the wifi it's strange cause I have 2 laptop connected and it's performing well...
my browser finds sometimes a page but it is not depending the disctance.

I can't help much I'm afraid. The model number you quote is a new one on me. It may be a chinese version of one of the ones we in Europe/USA are more familiar with, but without definite knowledge flashing one of of them would be risky.
If its one of THESE then it is a Flytouch 6 with an A8 cortex cpu, also sold as Flytouch 5 by chinagrabber (iBex brand) and you will find support for them on apad.tv forum.
The reason why you will not find many apps in 'Market' is because Google have not authorised these Flytouch tablets....there are a few workarounds...but no fixes AFAIK

wrong section. sorry

I just ordered my flypad and have yet to recieve it so I don't know who made it, the build etc. One question though. If I were to try an update, would it make sense to take out the original internal card and put it away and use 2 new cards to update?

My common sense says that if the update did not take, I could just reinstallm the original card and it should boot the original system it acame with - Does this sound right?

Yes...with two provisos -

1/ NEVER flash a bootloader file. The bootloader is not kept on the internal tf card. These files are called 'bootloader-discovery' or 'u-boot-nand.bin' or any file with the word 'boot' in it!

2/ opening the tablet to change the tf card will invalidate your warranty so make sure it works fully before opening it up and open it carefully!

i have a SuperPad 3/ Flytouch 3 stuck on logo screen


I factory reset my ft3 today and after that every time I try to go and boot up, my screen gets stuck on the green Android logo screen. Did not pass that screen to the linux penguin

I have tried everything that I can think of in order to get it where it is not stuck, and yet nothing will work.
I tried the reset button, I tried to reboot, I tried to factory reset again, I tried firmware tim6a and no luck!

Read Google Hong Kong map requires what to install US; can't find where or how. TIA. da mopper

With Google Maps you must have a working internet connection in order for the software to download a map of your location. If you don't have internet when the GPS gets a fix then I think it just displays a blank screen so I think your problem is likely to be your GPS isn't getting a fix....so.....

Download GPS Test
Fit the external gps antenna
take the tablet outside with a clear view of the sky
go to menu/settings/ location & security/ select 'use GPS satellites'
start GPS Test
watch for satellite signals

If you don't see any signals either your external antenna, GPS module inside your tablet,the gps antenna connector or the internal antenna wiring is faulty, you can inspect the wiring and try a different external antenna.

If you do see some signals they have to be above strength 20 to be of any use, if they are not above 20 try moving your location to get a better view of the sky. After you have been receiving 3 signals for about 2 minutes you should have a lock and your location will be shown on the map display, if not, leave it for 20 minutes. If it still doesn't work after 20 minutes report back with your findings...

So why do they advertise and not as 1ghz 800mhz. Does my product is fake? I can not install any 3D game on this machine. Can you help me in other problems I mentioned? As for colored flash video in the browser, to increase the volume of external speakers - very low volume, improving battery life and screen brightness? Is there a firmware update to solve these problems? But that is a sure, safe and will not give problem on my machine. How do I find my firmeware?

Hy, Brunoalberto, I have the same tablet and the same problems, Have you found the firmware ?? and could you update it?
thanks
