Here is a rooted custom Android 4.2.2 firmware for the FNF iFive X3 tablet based on official version 1.1.5

(Ifive X3_FW_422_V1.1.5_201312111330.img/ Ifive X3_FW_422_V1.1.5_201312111330.rar)

Build information:

Linux Kernel: Linux version 3.0.36+ (five@five-server2) (gcc version 4.6.x-google 20120106 (prerelease) (GCC) ) #378 SMP PREEMPT Wed Dec 11 11:25:57 CST 2013

Android build: IFive/rk30sdk/rk30sdk:4.2.2/JDQ39/eng.root.20131212.114647:eng/opinions-on-teclast-p90hdst-keys

ro.rksdk.version=RK31_ANDROID4.2.2-SDK-v1.04.00

Custom firmware features:

root with latest SuperSU version 1.86 (free version)
removed most Chinese and unnecessary applications
Google Play Store fixes so more application are visible/compatible
updated busybox v1.21.0.git (2012-11-29)
Unix like init.d boot scripts support, more details on init.d scripts here
changed permissions on external sdcard to allow write access
increased space for applications (/data partition) to 4 GB
disabled OTA updates (may cause problems, see Notes below)
removed iFive launcher, replaced with Android 4.2 AOSP stock launcher from here
NEW! kernel modules (cifs, tun, lan, serial, xpad) compiled by Oma & Crew RKTablets, thank guys!
optional ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery easy install package

Notes:

- any update received thru OTA may interfere with our custom firmware, we recommend to refuse any update pushed OTA.

Download: kasty-fnf_ifive_x3-422-115_20131211-rooted4b.zip

Use Rockchip Batch Tool version 1.7 to flash the firmware, don't flash using the "sdcard" method.

Please report any problem with this firmware, I can't verify this custom firmware works as I don't have an iFive X3 to test it.

Hello,

Thanks for your feedback.

Unfortunately I don't have an iFive X3 so I couldn't test this custom firmware. I remember about similar issues on another iFive model, I should be able to fix the problem and post a firmware shortly.

Cheers.

Arbalath,

That's strange, our custom firmware was reported to work by --webjo-- in post #7.

Have you flashed the new file (kasty-fnf_ifive_x3-422-115_20131211-rooted4b.zip) and not the original file (kasty-fnf_ifive_x3-422-115_20131211-rooted4.zip) that had a problem ?

Are you flashing an iFive X3 ? Did you use Restore button in Rockchip Batch Tool ?

Cheers.

Well, yes to all, but due to yesterdays flu, my multitasking skills, and given that MTK entered Rockchip sign in alignment to the sun I managed to flash my mini x3 with this firmware. I always wanted to know how these things happen and how can people be so stupid to flash wrong FW. I guess now I know.

On the other hand, correct mini X3 FW from you works best so far of all I tested.

Based on the nearly identical hardware footprints of the iFive X2 and X3, I have created a wiki for the X3 with procedures on flashing firmware images and several other mods as well.

iFive X3 wiki is here:

https://www.miniand.com/wiki/iFive+X3

Firmware flashing instructions are here:

https://www.miniand.com/wiki/Flashing+a+new+firmware+image+to+the+iFive+X3+Step+by+Step

The flashing instructions recommend flashing kasty's ROM of course !
