ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery easy install for RK3066 and RK3188 -- TWRP/CWM Flash-Tool and root for RK3288
 Please donate to support OMA and CrewRKTablets firmware work, thank you !
Here is an Android 4.4.2 KitKat rooted custom firmware for the iFive mini3 (first gen. model) This firmware is based on the official iFive firmware 2.0.4 dated 2014/02/14. It is designed for the first generation model with 1024x768 screen and probably won't work on the newer mini3 model with Retina like display.

Use Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.7 to flash the firmware, use Restore button.
Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have an iFive mini3 to test it.
Thanks to jihaine for his supportÂ

hi everyone,
first of all thanks for the rom. it works very smoothly and no problems thus far.Â
except for the one I experienced today, that I can't attribute as a soft/hardware problem just yet: while using the tablet regularly (just browsing, not many tabs, very few background apps etc.) it suddenly froze with the screen remaining on, then after a while the screen dimmed a bit as it normally does and then the tablet just died.
afterwards it doesn't start up even though I hold the power button down for a long time. to see if it's completely dead I connected it to my PC and luckily am able to see it in the rockchip batch tool as pink and would probably be able to flash it anew.Â
yet, as I would not like to lose my settings and for the future as well, is there any way to fix this other than reflashing the device?
thanks for any advice.
edit: well, oddly enough trying to reflash the image through "restore" does not work, it fails. and after trying that a few times, the tablet is no longer visible in the tool when i connect it. well, my hardware seems to have died with no particular reason.Â
edit2: well, i'm not sure whether this is the right thread anymore for this, but for anyone encountering a similar problem as I did, all hope is not lost (although your hardware may be prone to failure): the method of short-circuiting the NAND chip described in this video worked for me and it didn't even erase anything. it just removed the tablet from the stuck state, the rom is intact as are my settings and apps.Â
you should, however take care while opening the case, i managed to break my screen digitizer and now that should be replaced since touch input is completely messed up.Â

I'm not sure I understood it correctly from Google Translate, but it seems like there is a new firmware update 2.28 available as an OTA update. I don't have a stock ROM on my mini3, can someone please check?Â
