Noting a lack of a proper thread collated with all the P041 firmware updates uploaded so far, I figured I'd make one.
The firmwares listed in this thread are for the 9V P041 Flytouch3/Superpad2 units ONLY.
To upgrade your unit with the firmware listed below, place JUST the android folder (it will contain five files - uImage, logo.img, system.img, ramdisk.img and updater) into a microSD/miniSD/TF card formatted to FAT32 (cluster size 4096). Start up your tablet while holding the volume down (vol-) key and the unit will update automatically. These are all official firmware updates listed from the manufacturer by sellers.
There are no custom ROMs available for the P041 models at this time. I personally suggest using either #136 or #48 as both provided substantially better performance in well, everything for me.
