Now it seems real Boyue has disappeared as a brand.

I'm getting confused trying to update my Mimas to the newer Android version. A step-by-step guide would be appreciated. I'll trying to follow along with the posts here an I think I'm a file I need to externally download.
Please help thank you. |

https://drive.google.com/drive/folde...MO?usp=sharing When you got that then if you have questions let us know. But the jest is you need to get your device into bootloader mode by pushing the pin like say a sim eject tool at boot like stated in the guide it comes with. That's step one. Also backup your books etc off internal storage as I believe the update will wipe the device since its a full firmware flash. After that one you can take WIFI OTA's but the G drive link also has the OTA in it at as well. |

My Mimas is been inconsistent with having push power and page back at the same time to get to the BIOS options screen. The few times I tried I was able to select go to bootloader but it seams like my Mimas freezes while the bootloader is loading. Also my Mimas is not not recognized while connected to my PC when in BIOS or bootloader loading screens.

Your advice, along with the demo video linked to in the Android Update Manual helped. Note that the Google Drive link you provided is missing the AndroidTool_Release folder.
At this point all I need is to know what is the most recent BYRead version for the Mimas. My device is currently on BYRead-V3.1.1-2021081716. Also is the new Zreader now the default as I can't find the option to turn it on? Thank you for your assistance. |

Hello,
I would like to downgrade my Likebook Mimas from the firmware version 3.0.2 (Android 8) to the previous version with Android 6 (presumably 2.3.3). I bought the reader by second-hand, it came with Android 6. Updated it to the 3.0.2 with RKDevTool and a .img file that I found from Boyue, along with a PDF tutorial. My device was wiped and now it have Android 8. But I disliked that version, especially in regards to the wallpapers and the default epub reader. Looking back through the thread, searching from a 2.3.3 firmware, I found that post that I quoted. But I only got a update-T103D-V2.3.3.zip file, not a .img The link to the rar'ed .img file inside the referred document is broken. How can I install the 2.3.3 version from zip, or convert it to .img? Thanks in advance Quote:

Add KOReader. Download the APK direct from Git using build-in browser. Certainly the built-in reader on my Mars is poor for epub but OK for PDF. I use KOReader for epubs on it. My Mars is Android 8.
Android 6 is really old and some useful ereader Apps (Kobo, Kindle, Belinda Borrow box, Google Playbooks) might not work now on 6, or an update might not work. |

Thank you all for the responses!
The firmware version 3.0.2 was very buggy. The screen and GUI was very slow. Fortunately, I managed to update my Mimas to the 3.1.1 by simply using a .zip provided here at the forum. Named it to "update.zip" and put inside the internal storage. Browsed the file from the settings and did the update. Everything was very smooth after the 3.1.1 update. In fact, the device became more reliable than it was at the 2.x firmware. There is no fault of it being based on Android 8 instead of the 6. Then, there is no reason to downgrade my device anymore. Battery life appears to have improved too, I read about 2 hours per day and there is 61% of battery charge by now, 8 days after full wipe and full charge. For anyone in the need to full wipe a Likebook Mimas, I advice to install the 3.0.2 .img from a computer, following the instructions previously presented at this thread, and after, use the 3.1.1 .zip (last known firmware) to make the update on the device itself. About the wallpapers, I managed to copy the old ones from a 2.x zip and put them on the default wallpaper folder. In respect to the default reader, I was struggling with the fonts at the 3.0.2 version, and there was some random crashes. At 3.1.1 I found an option to apply in advance my custom typesetting preferences to all .epub files that I would open (click on the gear symbol > More Settings > Global Layout > tick the desired items to keep custom such as font, font size, typesetting and contrast). I achieved better results by putting the "Font Spacing" slider to zero, and by using the default sans-serif chinese font (no need to know chinese, that font renders well western text and suits good to the e-ink screen). Thus, the default reader app satisfies my need for an uniform reading appearance by now. |

Run V3.1.1 version on my P10W (wacom version) now, satisify on it from I get it on November 2021. Likebook company should keep to improve their firmware for more support, but it is good on their price as always.
