I flashed it because i did encounter the power on issue. Wouldn't boot until re moved the batter for afew mins, the plug the charger for a fw mins then it came back on. Weird thing is that... on that older firmware, file manager was also having trouble formatting card placed on either slots.

I then flashed it to the newer firmware hoping the problem would go away and to clean up the device. Apparently it introduces the application crash issue in addition to the fact that it still could not format my sd card (it's showing as corrupted).
