Finally. Gonna brick my mimas later

UPD
Indeed, those pdf instructions are something else...

So, what you want to do:
0) Backup your stuff: books and notes. Because flashing new firmware will wipe all data
1) Turn off mimas
2) Hold vol.down then hold power button until reader boots up
3) When in recovery menu switch to 'Reboot to Bootloader' using volume keys and confirm it using power button
4) Install drivers from (item 1 of the manual)
5) Download firmware (link from item 4) and use AndroidTool aka RKDevTool (link from item 3)
6) Then go to item 6 in the manual and flash your mimas

Had to put Android Tool folder at drive C and rename directory so it looked like C:\AndroidTool_Release
Otherwise i kept getting error about missing config and everything was in chinese.

Reader got a little snappier. Finally, DJVU support. Already found bug in notes. When you change thickness of pen it will also changes for highligher and vice-versa.
