I've tried using iNew V3 version 1.0.6,
cannot read nfc card.
Did any try using V3 updated firmware can read and write NFC card directly?

please us the search function.
version 1.0.6 of the firmware is the first factory firmware (dont let the numbering fool you)
NFC should be working even with this firmware, you have to make sure the contacts of the back plate match up with the phone's contacts.
also make sure the back plate is securely in place, as otherwise you will not have contact either.
on some phones it was necessary to pull the contacts out a little bit (very carefully!)

this is why i said very carefully.
putting any kind of foil in there is just as dangerous, since if you do not pay attention you can short out the connection.
worst case you fry your nfc chip and thats even worse than breaking the pins. (pins can be fixed, a shorted out burnt chip cannot)
