Basahin muna po at least the first three posts bago magtanong. Any questions na obvious ang sagot (AKA newbie posts) ay masasagot ng first three posts. Para lang di makalat yung thread at di paulit-ulit ang tinatype ko. Salamat. 
Introduction
I do not take firmware requests, they will be ignored. I will just post any A13 firmware I find and have you try it for yourself.
Sorry kung harsh, pero hindi ako bangko ng firmware.

I have provided a list of firmwares I have confirmed working with A13 devices. For those who still have problems, use the fixes provided below, they are designed for the variety of configurations that are used for these devices. Just make sure you know what yours need, or you have to try them all.
