The USB ID Repository

Name: V972 tablet in flashing mode

Device 1f3a:efe8 is my tablet in flashing mode.
The tablet: Onda V972 Quad Core, 9.7", 2048x1536 IPS, 32GB

ID 1f3a could be the vendor Onda, but one cannot be sure without verification of other Onda devices in flashing mode.
ID efe8 could be the V972v1 (my exact model) or it could also include V972v2. It is also possible that other Onda devices report this ID as well.

I used PhoenixSuit to flash, the ARMv7 CPU is an Allwinner A31 (Cortex A7, Quad Core).

Name: FEL flashing mode

Note: This id is given for severl AllWinner SoC in FEL flashing mode

As explained in Device UD:1f3a, this id seems to be related to FEL flash mode for AllWinner SoCs (at least A20/A31 generation).

1f3a: AllWinner Technology

efe8: Seems to be FEL flashing mode (that fetch NAND image from USB) on at least AllWinner A20 & A31 generation of AllWinner Technology, and perhaps for A10/A10s/A13 too ?

Name: FEL flashing mode

Note: information on AllWinner flashing tool for GNU/Linux archive PDF.

The LiveSuite is a tool from AllWinner Technology for flashing the NAND with their SoCs

You can get linux version here (a zip containing an installer + 1 PDF :
http://cubieboard.org/download/#Software%20Tools

The pdf signed by allwinnertech.com suggest to add a udev rules file containing this rules for flashing :

SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", ACTION!="add", GOTO="objdev_rules_end"
#USBasp
ATTRS{idVendor}=="1f3a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="efe8", GROUP="test",
MODE="0666"
LABEL="objdev_rules_end"

This confirm the id and Product.

Name: FEL device (flashing mode)

https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools, file fel.c, lines 311 and 314: "Allwinner USB FEL device"
http://linux-sunxi.org/FEL: "FEL mode"

I suggest the name "FEL device (flashing mode)"

OT:
FYI, good to read that you cannot brick an Allwinner device: http://elinux.org/Hack_A10_devices
