We may have to get the actual kernel from the other firmware and make a specific TWRP.

nor the 1280x720 images
fixing to try 1280x800

[abdul_pt]

Maybe you should post on the topic ???

[rrileypm]

Yes, if you are having trouble with TWRP, it's always better to post on the TWRP thread....Abdul_pt can't possibly read EVERY thread on Freaktab to support his TWRP offerings.

Here's the link, if you haven't found it yourself:

Hi,
so i flashed the rom on ifive 3 retina. But it seems that the display is not adressed correctly. I only got 5-6 vertical Stripes and the rest of the screen is black. Any ideas?

[rrileypm]

This ROM is specifically for the Mini 3 Retina.

Have you tried the ROM in this thread?

If you are having trouble with the TWRP recovery I included in the ROM...try downloading the 1280x800 KitKat version from this thread:

http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?11324-TWRP-2-7-0-0-For-Rockchip-s&p=156414&viewfull=1#post156414

I've tried it and it works fine.

I've asked Abdul_pt to make one just a little bit bigger for us...this one is pretty small...but it works.

please help

This ROM is based on official iFive KitKat firmware dated 3/25/2014.

Thanks to Geekbuying.com for providing me this great tablet. It's very responsive and everything just works.

One improvement that could be made in future firmware is to brighten the screen some more. I have the brightness turned up all the way, and it's still not very bright.

As with v1.0, this ROM is:

Rooted
Debloated
Init.d support added
Busybox commands added
Google Play Store fixes added
English as default language
4gb user app space
TWRP Recovery installed after first boot
Autoinstall feature added to install apps from external SD that are in the autoinstall folder
Reboot App by Petrus
New boot animation

I have a question regarding my issue:

every time when i connect my device, windows is reconizing it like Nexus7 and i see ADB drivers are also installed in device manager but, when i type ADB DEVICES in CMD, list o devices is empty.
none o the flashing tools cannot recognize it like RK chipset device.
i did uninstall this "Nexus7" but every time PC is installing the same.
i am araid that my device is destroyed. how can i again establish communiikcation between my device and some flashing tool like RKDevelopTool or any other if you have idea?
is there some other procedure except ADB interface?

thank you!

If you are still running stock recovery, you can download the stock firmware from here:

http://www.ifive.com.cn/service/downloads/mini3%E8%A7%86%E7%BD%91%E8%86%9C/index.html

Put the firmware in the root of your external SD and see if you can boot to recovery and flash it that way. At least you can get back to stock.

Depending on the version of Windows you are running, it is likely a driver issue. Rockchip drivers don't play well with Windows 8 and especially 8.1. Try a different PC, if that's the case.

tnx but...
internet speed from this Chinese page will take 10 hours to download 370 MB, i hope it will finish till tomorrow.
second thing:
i dont have volume button on this device, only power button and it doesnt happen anything when i press this button or hold it or 20 sec.
i cannot remove the battery so i dont know when this device is ON or OFF
i am using windows 7 and everything worked fine untill i loaded some ROM yesterday
admin on that forum didnt have solution.

i will update you once when i try your procedure

thank you one more time!
