The latest Android 4.0.4 version is numbered 1.05 : http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=95

Then there is a Android 4.1 version, which is numbered 1.06 : http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=115

But suddenly, Cube restarted from 1.00 with Win8 UI : http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=120

And now, a 1.02 has been published by the end of december : http://www.51cube.com/ch/DownShow.asp?ID=126

Should we assume that this version is more stable than the latest 1.06 version ? For instance, regarding the battery indicator issue ?

On the firmware download page, click the green button.

It brings you to a security check on http://www.400gb.com . Place your cursor into the input box (click several times unti you have your mouse cursor change into an input bar, each time you click a new ad popup will appear), and enter the 3 digits you see on the picture.

Then click the green arrow under the input box. It should bring you to the actual download page !

On the download page, click on the button which has a white arrow inside a blue square (it's the button at the left, just over the progress bar). It should start the download.

The download stops after a while ... Could you download it from http://www.400gb.com and then load it on another site (Dropbox, Mediafire etc. ...)?? I would be very grateful.

I installed the original version that you gave me but when detachment from the tablet power is switched off and the wi-fi does not work! Why? Is there any solution? I think it's a software problem!

Admin, this is exactly why I started a new topic : this is NOT the latest firmware. The higher version number, but not the latest regarding the date.

The 1.02 Win8UI is the most recent one.

Ooops you're right.

So what's the feedback on firmware version 1.02 Win8UI ?

(I don't have a Cube U23GT btw)

Actually I didn't flash this firmware ... because I don't like the Win8 UI.

But I compared the 1.02 "Win8 UI" system.img to the 1.06 "standard" system.img, it seems that they completely removed the bluetooth stack.

Sorry, I think that every Cube tablet owner has issues with the battery indicator...

Anyway, here's a mirror for the 1.02 Win8 UI firmware :
