Forgive me but I'm not having any luck. When I updated to 0526, most all apps were missing including Google Playstore. I tried several versions to no avail. Finally when I went back to 0518 all seemed to be well. Wireless seem to be weak and poor battery life persist. My Question: Is there a newer version than 0518 that improves these issues and includes Google Play and flash ability?

Hi jbmmurph, Ainol is working on a newer firmware to fix these bugs.

I was upgrading the tornado firmware.. but when i installed, realised that after the free android icon, it didnt prompt me to go any further but the system restarted itself. I thought i could use it then i realise, i cant find the internal SD card... that is i cant transfer anything into the ainol tablet. What should i do?

Hi I just bought Ainol Novo7 Tornados 2 days back.. i was having the same problem that it was not getting fully charge and was showing wrong percentage schemes..i first upgraded to novo7_tornados_0518.rar but after that it was having the same problem like above one that i was not getting any apps there. there was no PlayStore etc. Then after visiting this forum i tried to download tornados_feiyu_mod_(0526).rar and this version solved my problem. First time it took 6 hours to charge my Ainol Novo7 Tornados fully 100%. It contains all necessary apps and it also allows us to install apps like Facebook, Youtube which was not compatible with previous firmware :). now i will guide you how to install it.

1. Download the above Feiyu mod 0526 version.
2. extract the files.
3. Put uImage_recovery file in the root of your external memory card.
4. and put tornados_feiyu_mod_(0526) in the same root with uImage_recovery file.
5. now place memory card in tablet.
6. press and hold -Vol and power button together for 4 seconds. update process will continue. if any error occurs. Then you select 2nd option from it i forgot that name it is kind of select recovery file from memory card. then give path to that tornados_feiyu_mod(0526).rar and press home button to select it. in this way installation will continue.

It is a very good firmware. Further problems may be posted here so that i will try to answer them.

looks like we all bought a piece of junk! I should have known I couldnt get a quality product for under $100.00. Now begins the process of getting a company based in China to issue a refund. Good luck to all and I hope your Tornado works more than 4 days!
