Lenovo A3300-GV Stock ROM/Firmware to unbrick your tablet
Atlast Im finally done uploading the firmware / stock rom for A3300-GV ^_^
The stock for this tablet is not mine, I found this firmware/stock in a lenovo forum, so thank you for them for uploading the firmware/stock rom. As what I have read, the firmware is version 4.4.2 which is the KitKat version. The Stock ROM/firmware is fully working. The tablet has a MTK6582 cpu and I suggest that use the latest flash tool for this tablet.
Update: Confirmed that the file that I had uploaded is a Kitkat version
