looking good:
void brush firmware may cause write a very small chance of touch failure touch FW update and can not fix bugs updated power management IC to drive, resolving possible 100 % of capacity problems and are not allowed to charge and discharge electricity bug
touchscreen bug solved?

hopefully they'll release the source of this fw/rom.

Citing from Google's translation:
Code:
<br />
Relative to previous 08xx version of the firmware AML, the main part of the update should be:<br />
<br />
Avoid brush firmware may cause write a very small chance of touch failure touch FW update and can not be repaired bug<br />
2, updated power management IC driver, address not allowed to bug may appear 100% capacity and charge-discharge power<br />
Bluetooth driver update<br />
4, wifi standby policy-related driver updates<br />
<br />
In fact, 0907 above points closed beta has been<br />
<br />
0921 major update in 0907 on the basis of (AML issued some updates):<br />
<br />
1. HDMI audio compatible<br />
2 upgrade finished first adjust the backlight did not respond<br />
3. Accelerate the standby wake speed <br />
The first item seems to be the critical one, but the translation is gibberish. MStrans' version reads

Code:
<br />
1, to avoid brushing the firmware may cause minimal chances to touch invalid write touch FW update and cannot fix bug<br />
2, updated power management IC-driven solution 100% power problems may occur and the charging and discharging power be allowed to bug<br />
3, Bluetooth driver updated<br />
4, WiFi standby policy-driven update<br />
<br />
Several points above 0907 Beta has already been<br />
<br />
At 0921, based on major updates (AML part of updated content):<br />
<br />
1. compatible HDMI audio problem<br />
2. adjust the backlighting for the finished the first time did not respond<br />
3. speed up wake on standby<br />
This is still somewhat Greek to me (the introductory text is delicious!), but together it sounds like to issue causing the TS to be fried has been addressed.
No word about "pop"s and mosquitoes though...

What puzzles me is the size of the package(s) - 189MB is almost twice the size of a normal firmware!
Unfortunately I can get only about 10KB/s from baidu
so there'll be no quick analysis RSN.
All I can see after about 8MB each:
The small file contains a "USB burning tool" (rar, probably exe; and doc) which supposedly will replace the instructions for the "rescue" image (0822)?
I'll stop the download when the small file is complete, and restart later (got to commute now)

I think there is no solution for the pop
PS: Some players have been PM I said the key problem of the sonic boom, and this fact, before a variety of machine variety firmware has appeared, and not specific to the AML program, in AML no perfect solution firmware based on personal recommendations in the set - three "key sound, vibration like sound inside uncheck, then the machine inside several input method set inside a clicking sound and vibration feedback are shut down after more than 90% reduction in daily use sonic boom of personal analysis and vibration or audio amplifier connected to an instant signal may pass specific ways relevant

seems like the new burning tool is much like samsung's odin...
in help menu u can change the language... then it appears to be simpler to understand what's going on. Also seems like there's a need for a special driver in the 8mb pack so we need to install it. (plug once ->click device poupthingy-> choose location... )

about the post... i dont understand what he said about 0924... and i really want to know.

Anyone who can translate the Chinese DOC to plain English? (There's a mention of POWER + HOME buttons in there... does this mean that in addition to the well-known POWER + VOLUME combos there's another one yet unknown?)
---Edit: Google translated doc attached---

"update_qimei.zip" is the firmware part, let's see whether there's space left on my disk to unpack it...
"uImage_ucb_burning" seems to be a (recovery-type) kernel for, well the name already tells us...
"patch_ainol_e4.zip" contains some more apps and libs (but GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter is still missing, as are some of the /etc/permissions files, a lot of work left for people like Feiyu and Pat)

- that's the order of actions to be performed, with all the components and their locations in memory!

All in all a very interesting set of files...

I've had a look through a Google translation of the burning tool doc - looks like something AMLogic provide to their systems integrators to flash the BIOS onto non-volatile RAM on the production line. I would strongly suspect that failing to follow the procedure with 100% diligence would result in a severely bricked tablet! I'm not doing anything with that until we have a properly translated English version of the document, and probably an official relase of the firmware rather than some leaked beta thrown up onto a forum by a user.

the 0907 is the official update, looking at it, flashed using the usual procedure.

the 0921 is a beta (is it straight from amlogic?) using the lowlevel tools, changes from the 0907 version appear to be better backlight control, faster wakeup, and hdmi fixes.
