Very good news !!! Thanks. Can you post changelog ?
This is for all models, right? 4GB and 8GB. No issues with the screen going black?
Very very good news!!
Waiting for the files…
Hi All i have updated the download link and changelog.
yes for all the models. just different option when flashing.
Thanks for the update. But I can’t see a file in mediafire to download. Do you another download location? Thanks
Wrong link for download =/
you can also download at http://www.cubot.net -> service -> m6589 -> the newest firmware
works fine 🙂
Please, fix the mediafire links.
Hornet: Please, how to flash this new firmware. Many thanks.
You need the flash tool from firmware 14.03.13 or 02.04.13. You can find these firmwares on this page when searching for cubot a890 firmware. Just follow the instructions given there and here.
I have found an error in 28.04. firmware: the fm-receive is not working. do other have the same problem??
Hornet: Thanks, this means, that I use MTK_ AllinOne_DA from old flash tool, as Download Agent, also MTK_DATABASE from old flash tool as Factory Database and from newest firmware only enter MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt ?
Kristin, if I may say one thing.
I’ve just flashed this ROM into my device and I noticed that the launcher is now the TouchWiz, from Samsung. I personally do not like this decision as many of us users really prefer the stock Android launcher. As you said that GeekBuying help with the development of the firmwares, I would kindly ask you to tell Cubot to roll back to the stock android launcher and I’m sure that most users will agree with me.
Thank you
Marcio
Repax, you are right. I am crious if others have the same fm-receiver problems. Maybe I will switch back to version 02.04. and 14.03. 🙁
I sent a support request on cubot.net
Hello Kristin, all roms have errors. the latest rom has problems with fm receiver. I have checked with both a890 i own and in both roms the fm receiver crashes after adding two sim cards (maybe because of touchwiz launcher). could you please ask cubot engineers if there will be a full working rom/firmware? maybe without touchwiz launcher? thnks.
i will check and asked the engineers improve that.
try with another usb port on the PC, or another PC.
Hi Marcio thanks for your suggestion. i would communicate with Cubot.
have updated 🙂
updated 🙂
hi kirstin,
please say thanks to the developers at Cubot from me!
maybe there are some errors, but i think it is way better to see an active development rather then just one firmware and then no updates at all! i hope an update to 4.2.2 or even 4.3 is considered…
and guys, it is just a matter of expectations. Cubot isn’t that huge as Samsung to test a ROM over-and-over again. and by the looks of the change logs, they are quite busy so hang in there
Kristin : What is updated ? Firmware in first post ?
Will there be any more updates? I prefer a stable system instead of updating many times and still no perfect system:
My experiences:
Firmware 14.03.2013: Bad bluetooth connections
Firmware 02.04.2013: No front cam working in cam-apps
Firmware 28.04.2013; fm receiver crashes all the time
test with both types (displays) of the phone.
You can tell cubot my next phones will be different brand. I dont get answers at cubot service.
Besides SIM card 1 is loosing connections. I have to reboot to get signal back. Am I the only who gets these problems? Will there be a new and full working update soon?
fm working fine and no sim issues with this version.
my only problem is the camera in bad lighting, it lags
Will there be a new update?
This firmware has radio issues.
Won’t switch to roaming until you call someone and the other aide can’t hear me.
Switched back to 14/3.
Works best so far
hi, it is possible to download the release in July?
