-----------------
My experience of this firmware:

I have tested several versions of this firmware on my Gpad which is this: http://www.pandawill.com/es/gpad-gfo...ra-silver.html, second batch, with logo on the back, only wifi.

The only firmware where it works touchscreen is in HT_PAD1051_V2.4U1GuCoTu_Release.tar.bz2

But the sensor doesn't work, the screen is rotated 90º, the wifi doesn't work.

I hope, Gpad Company release a fully functional version of the firmware.

I hope it help, and i hope you help me.

I haven't test it but you can try. You have only to select the correct version of firmware.
