 Please donate to support OMA and CrewRKTablets firmware work, thank you !

Frankly speaking, I feel a little bit confused...
If I've understood well, there are now several ChildPad models across the Europe, with sensitive HW differences.....
For that reason, not all the FW upgrades work in the right way...
And, reading all the posts (thanks all for the precious infos), it's really hard to sort out which FW/model combination works well (because some fundamental details are missing)...
And, probably, the developers too are in the same situation...
So, my suggestion is, like many other forums/devices, to start a thread where to write down:
1. which model you have
2. which Firmware(s) you've tried and which issues you have noticed
I think that users can understand better which FW is better to install and which one to test and developers can get precious infos about users/devices for further collaboration/support.
Morph.

CP Ref. 502153. Capacitive
FW: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/downloads/firmware/ArnovaChildPad/kasty-arnchilpadc-40-050c-1G.zip
Flashed with http://www.arctablet.com/blog/downloads/tools/Firmware/Rockchip_CPU_based/Rockchip_Batch_Tool_v1.5.zip, following this http://www.arctablet.com/blog/featured/flashing-arnova-g2-rockchip-2918-rockchip-flashing-tool/Â description.
Flashing method: "restore" not "upgrade"
Â
Working good, the only "problem" I have: Booting very slowly (approx. 50 seconds), but I don't know, how long the CP boots with the regular FW, because after unpacking and checking if it works I immediately flashed the Custom FW to get access to the playstore.

I hope this thread will be pinned and become true source for all troublesome firmwares and different models of Childpad...
One question though: what should we write as model info and where do we find exactly that info cos I saw on back of my Childpad that there are many different numbers and codes....

I don’t think that the reference number which is actual the model number.
For example if you type in Google ref 502153 arnova, the childpad will appear.
What i found on the 7c g3, there is a lot of tablets around the number 1300 which have a different touch screen them mine which is the 373 tablet produced.
This number is on the box, under the ref number, mine is FD122000373, on another person who has the FD122001310 the touch screen was different.
I think you should concentrate in finding devices that are closer to your FD number to create an exact image of the touch screens installed in each device. I am sure that if some of you would write here the FD number you will see difference, and I suspect the same issue as on the 7cg3, after the first 1000 units the touch screen was changed.

My turn now
ChildPad bought couple of days ago in Germany
Ref 502153
Under is not FD but SC number (no FD number on box nor on Pad) : SC 124304014
All firmwares were installed without any problems BUT touch function doesnt work on:
Arnova ChildPad&7d G3 Capacitive Android 4.1.1 JB Custom Firmware
Arnova ChildPad&7d G3 Android 4.0.4 + CWM Recovery custom firmware
NEOCM10 Version 1.25 from FreakPad http://d-h.st/qsp
Touch function DOES work with test file Arnova ChildPad capacitive test firmware from official 09/26
http://www.arctablet.com/blog/downloads/firmware/ArnovaChildPad/kasty-arnchilpadc-40-050c-1G.zip
Â
So it seems to me that all newer models need to have newer kernel in order to work...So IÂ hope that this test firmware could be good base for making full custom firmware

My contribute:
ChildPad bought a couple of weeks ago in Italy
Ref: 502153
P/N:Â Child Pad Capacitive 4GB EU (No Alvin extras)
S/N:Â SC 124305670
Â
It works well with official 09/26 update and test fw built on that.
I haven't tried (yet)Â NEOCM10 Version 1.25Â fw.
Probably, this fw contains or newer drivers or some specific scripts for new capacitive modelsÂ
