iFive have added a new firmware for their 7.9″ Android 6.0 tablet the Mini 4S, firmware 1.04 has no change log so I’ve flashed it after I completed my review (Coming soon). And as expected it wipes everything, but the maximum screen brightness has gone from around 210 lux to 298 lux which is great and the camera crash bug is fixed. Other changes are a file explorer in the ROM and that is about it. Many thanks to Mike Cane for pointing this out to me.

If you have the rebranded RePad 8 version this ROM will also work just fine (Same exact tablet just rebranded!). Instructions are in the flash tool file.
The firmware download can be found here: iFive Mini 4S / Repad 8 downloads
Still bloat free and included Play Store.

HI Chris, I have a Teclast P90HD with the same Chipset, with 7000mha of batery go easy to 6-7 SOT in his best times. With the smaller screen 5 hours may be not a problem. May this new firmware get better battery results.
I realy wanna to see the final review, and want to “upgrade” my 2 years old P90HD (it still working great, but KK feels a little old)

I’m looking at the new firmware now, testing it. But it seems the battery life is about the same. I see no difference. But a great little tablet for the price! The review is coming maybe today.
