Chinese tablets usually run the Android operating system. As with all devices on this platform, they can be updated or flashed by downloading the appropriate software to the tablet and performing the firmware update operation via a computer.
Necessary
- - a tablet with a slot for a flash card;
- - flash card.
Instructions
Step 1
Search the Internet for a suitable firmware for your device. The software you need must match the markings on your device, which can be found on the box or case. You can also try flashing the gadget in accordance with the name of its processor. All this data can be found on the packaging of the device, on its back panel or under the battery cover (if available). Some firmwares are universal and do not require a specific tablet model, but only a specific processor version.
Step 2
Download the software file and copy it to your tablet's USB stick. It is worth noting that in the absence of a flash drive slot, it will not be possible to reflash. The necessary files can be copied from the computer both using a card reader and through the tablet itself (if it is functional) by connecting it to the computer and selecting the data storage mode.
Step 3
Using the installation instructions supplied with each firmware, update the software. Some executable files are an installer that you can run on your device and do all the necessary operations right from the system interface. Some firmware files are supplied in an executable file format, which, using a computer, will automatically prepare your USB flash drive for updating, and you just need to restart the device.
Step 4
Most of the firmware is installed through the device's Recovery menu. To do this, carefully study the flashing manual for your device, then reboot and when you turn on the tablet, hold down a certain key to go into recovery mode.
Step 5
Go to the Install from SD card menu and select the firmware file, which should be located on the USB flash drive in ZIP format. Once the update is complete, click Reboot to apply the changes and wait until the new version of the device firmware is loaded. The software update for the Chinese tablet has been completed.
