Guys, a pointer and I'm not sure if it helps. Just wanna let you know that the Chinese hardware models are the following:

M218A > original machine without TTS

M218A+ > TTS added, 128MB Storage, 32MB system memory (apparently the same machine as Libre and Jetbook)

M218A++ > TTS, 256MB Storage, 64MB system memory

M218B > TTS, 256MB Storage, 64MB system memory, WiFi

M218C+ > basically an M218A++ without the lithium battery (replaced with AA battery compartment), probably with less system memory (32MB??)

M218C > probably the M218C+ leaving out the headphone jack and any mp3/TTS function (Jetbook Lite)

When you try to cross-flash your Aluratek/Jetbook with Chinese firmwares, you can refer to the above. Hope that helps.
