Gents,

There is a new hardware revision of the Chuwi V17HD in the field.
Chuwi did not announce that, so let's call it 2nd generation

Hardware components are quite different from the 1st gen.
You can identify 2nd gen tabs by the missing HDMI port. Instead of this there are volume rockers.

Do NOT flash this firmware or kernel into Chuwi V17HD 1st gen!

We do have some confusion here ... read from post #24. 

Update Dec 2014: another undocumented hardware revision is in the field and can be identified
by Serial-Numbers starting with Q8G141100214. Pls use the 3rd gen build.
