From this guide, you will learn how to install all kinds of firmware for devices on Android (official factory / stock and custom / modified) in different ways: through Recovery (any tablet) and using Odin (only Samsung devices). Some of them you can find and download on the same site.
How to flash a regular tablet
You can also flash and reflash the tablet yourself, at home, in several ways. For the simplest, there is already an instruction, it can be found in the article, it uses the ability of Android to automatically find updates for itself. Suitable for any manufacturer. If you do not want to bother and do everything as quickly and safely as possible, I recommend this method. The rest are more difficult.
How to install factory (stock) official firmware
Firmware programs:
— Drivers for Android tablet... Installed automatically when installing the included software, for example Kies from Samsung. If you are not sure that they are on your computer, download them to a USB flash drive from the Internet by simply entering something like “drivers Galaxy Tab 2 ". Or search the manufacturer's website. I would gladly give you direct links to download drivers, but I can't. There are a lot of android tablets, and it's unrealistic to post a link for everyone. If you have Windows 7, install the drivers as administrator. Right mouse button on the driver file -\u003e "Run as administrator").
— The official firmware itself... Download it yourself by entering similar queries in search engines - "official samsung firmware Galaxy Tab 2 ". Well, or also download it to a USB flash drive from the manufacturer's website.
— Odin program... Download it from wherever you want. It does not require installation, just unzip it somewhere (for example, on the same USB flash drive) so that it is at hand. Once again I warn you that this program can only be flashed android tablets from Samsung.
1. Turn off the antivirus on the computer and all third-party background programs, it is desirable to turn off the Internet.
2. Copy the archive with the firmware to a folder with an English name!
3. Launch Odin.
Further actions depend on the type of your firmware. If it is one archive, proceed according to point 4.1, if it is three files, then follow point 4.2. Most likely you will come across a single-file, they are more modern than three-file.
4.1. Push the button PDA in Odin and select the firmware.
4.2. Push buttons PDA (system), PHONE (modem), CSC (region) and select required files, it will be clear what corresponds to what.
5. Turn off the tablet completely, wait a little, and then press the " Volume +"And then quickly click" Inclusion» ( other combinations are possible, they depend on the tablet model, for some you have to press " Volume +", and " Volume-«), Hold until the text menu appears.
6. Click " Volume-»To confirm (depending on the model, this action can be performed differently).
7. We connect the tablet to the computer (it is better to use the original cable), Odin will determine the port - COM - and the green square will light up.
8. Press Start in Odin, the firmware process has started.
9. Sound signal and message PASS in a green window, Odin will tell us that the installation is complete. The tablet will reboot itself, you can disconnect the cable.
10. I recommend doing a wipe (data reset) after you manage to reflash the device. To do this, click " Volume-"And the button" Inclusion“, Wait without releasing the buttons of another text menu. In it, select with the volume buttons Wipe data / factory reset, and confirm the selection with the key " Inclusion". After completing the process, select the item " Reboot system now“, The tablet will reboot. Now everything is ready.
Here is a short video, better watch it, it will become clearer.
How to install custom firmware on a tablet from an sd card
Installing custom firmware is relatively simpler than installing the official one.
1. Download any custom firmware you want and Google apps (gapps.zip). These applications are needed for the device to work correctly. Some programs won't work without google applications, in particular without. It is better to download those Google applications that come with the firmware (as a rule, gapps.zip is also laid out with it) so that there are no conflicts.
2. Copy the archive with the software and gapps.zip to the tablet memory. You can also use a memory card, but better for internal memory.
3. Downloading ClockWorkMod, if not already installed.
4. Enter the mode Recovery, for this we press “ Volume-"And the button" Inclusion«
5. Do Wipe data / factory reset, as described above, point 10 from the instructions for installing the official firmware.
6. Choose an item there Install zip from sdcard volume and power buttons. Then - Chooze zip from sdcard, and choose your firmware. After it is installed, restart your tablet by selecting Reboot system now.
7. Now you need to install Google-programs. We do the same as in the previous paragraph, only select gapps.zip. Reboot again.
8. And do it again Wipe data / factory reset... And now that's it, you managed to successfully reflash the device.
How to flash a Chinese tablet (Armix, ZTE, Prestigio, Ritmix ...)
Now let's tell you how to flash chinese tablet... First of all, look for firmware for your tablet model. It is corny to ask the search engine "firmware for full_name_ of the tablet." It is advisable to indicate the exact name of the device, otherwise there is a fatal difference in a couple of numbers. After finding them, we read carefully the description of the firmware. If you are convinced that this is what you need - download. If you can't find it, try searching the English-language Internet by entering "firmware for full_tabname_name".
Next, we format the memory card, just in case, in the FAT32 system and copy what we downloaded to it. Most likely it will be an archive, so you will have to unpack it, but how exactly is it better to read it in the attached file.
We turn off the Chinese friend, check that the battery charge is sufficient and turn it on. The tablet will do everything itself. At least it should.
How much charging does it take to flash the tablet?
It's better not to risk it, and charge 100%. But in general, half the charge is enough. In some cases, Android itself will say that the battery charge is not enough for the firmware. If the tablet is discharged during the firmware, big problems... Have to .
If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
Firmware is actually software. It consists of a set of files that, taken together, are operating system (hereinafter we will speak simply OS). Those. firmware is nothing more than an Android operating system. What we see when we turn on the tablet, the desktop, menus, shortcuts, widgets, a set of functions are all a graphical shell that reproduces certain files from the firmware on the display.
Flashing process
Another firmware (or flashing) can be called a process when software is installed on a tablet. Usually, the firmware is installed during the production of tablets, or when they break (software) in special workshops on special. equipment. Those. the process of flashing, or flashing, can be compared to installing or reinstalling any operating system on a computer: Windows, Linux, MacOS, etc.
You can also flash the tablet (install or reinstall the OS) at home. To do this, you usually need a computer, a USB-microUSB cable, with which you can connect a PC with a tablet, special software with which you can connect these two devices, and in fact, the firmware itself, which through a computer and special. the program is installed on the tablet.
Why is this all?
It is not at all necessary to flash the tablet exactly when there is some kind of malfunction. Sometimes, for certain models of tablets, the manufacturer may release an update that may contain fixes for errors, incompatibility problems that could be in previous versions firmware. And perhaps there are patches that will improve something, for example, slightly improve performance, or increase the battery life by properly optimizing the firmware to the “internals” of the tablet.
Usually, updates are several files that overwrite old firmware files and are installed automatically. But not all tablets support automatic update "Through the air", i.e. over the network via Wi-Fi. Therefore, manufacturers release updated firmware versions that you can install yourself. It will already be a whole OS, a whole firmware that contains updated files.
Now that you have figured out what's what, you can familiarize yourself with other useful and interesting materials. You may need this:,.
The need to reflash a tablet arises in several cases. In the most common, this is caused by the malfunctioning of operating system components. Also, the firmware of the tablet allows you to install latest version OS, russify the software environment, get improved class protection, increase productivity. The so-called custom, created by enthusiasts, versions of the operating system with a changed interface and separate functionality are very popular. You can flash the tablet in different ways, through a computer or using SD memory cards.
Firmware is distributed by the manufacturer... The ability to quickly update is available for Samsung models through the Kies software package. Official firmware is distributed by Lenovo, Asus, LG. Modern versions of tablets are capable of self-updating by means of the operating system. This one is called OTA updates, and their receipt is activated by the corresponding option in the settings menu.
However, the official versions are not always the most recent. For example, there may be a newer operating system. You can download the firmware for the tablet on the sites of thematic communities... Especially if you need to update a Chinese tablet or a Prestigio device built on MTK processors.
Important! It should be remembered that the firmware published in the communities of enthusiasts is custom. Their use will void the manufacturer's warranty. In addition, to use one or another custom firmware, you need to get root superuser rights on the device.
Mandatory precautions
During backing up and working with internal memory the tablet is operating at a high power consumption level. Therefore, it is imperative to follow some rules:
- if you need to install the firmware on the tablet, the device must be fully charged;
- internal storage must have at least 0.5 GB of free space;
- if the device is updated via usb, it is advisable to have at least 1 GB of free internal storage space;
- to correctly make the firmware on the tablet, you need to find all the necessary drivers and software to fully recognize the device on the computer.
The last rule is as simple as possible. In no case should you turn off the device, even if it seems that it is frozen. The same applies to working with a computer. The data passing through the tablet can be received with a long delay due to the long-term modification processes of the device.
Preparing for firmware, creating a backup
Most modern tablets have built-in service menu... It can be entered by holding the power and volume down buttons on the switched off device at the same time. If the screen lights up exclamation point - the device must be turned off and on again, already holding the volume up.
Advice! You can find out the specific combination of entering the service menu from the technical documentation for the device, on the manufacturer's website or in the community, where manipulations with one or another model are discussed.
Make backupTo safely flash your Android tablet yourself through a computer or in another way, it's quite simple. Using a backup, you can restore the device if it does not turn on after an unsuccessful update attempt.
When entering the service menu, the device may request a password... You should also look for it in the above sources or try to press the number 1. After that, using the volume keys, you should select the Backup to internal SD card item. Sometimes for this you need to go to the Backup and restore submenu. Further:
- a directory is selected for placing the backup copy; it is not recommended to change the choice of the system;
- you need not to rush and wait until the end of copying, the operation time depends on the performance of the tablet;
- operating with the volume buttons, select the Reboot item.
After rebooting the device, it costs copy backup to memory card... The required data is usually found in the ClockWorkMod directory, unless the user has changed the system selection. The made copy will be needed to restore the device's performance if the firmware cannot be installed on the tablet.
Firmware with SD card
It is possible to flash an Android tablet using an SD card effortlessly only in a few cases.
- Restoring from a previously made backup... In this case, you need to go to the service menu, as described above. Choosing the advanced restore item, you should select the card as the source and wait for the work results.
- You need to change the firmware on the Android tablet to the one received from the manufacturer... In this case, no difficulties in the form of obtaining superuser rights are needed. However, not all devices offer to update the firmware via sd card in this way.
Individual loaders in the service menu have install ZIP clause... Most often, cheap Chinese models have such functionality. In this case, it will not be difficult to install the firmware on the tablet, no compliance checks are performed, you can use any custom versions.
Programs for firmware via PC
Installing a new firmware on a tablet is done using the manufacturer's proprietary utilities... How to use this or that program is described in detail on the website of the company that manufactured this or that device.
For LG tablets there is a proprietary Mobile Support Tool software. The scheme of its use looks like this:
- the program is downloaded from the manufacturer's website, installed and launched;
- the tablet is connected with a data cable connected to the USB port of the computer;
- after the device is recognized, all the necessary drivers are downloaded for it from the manufacturer's website;
- it is necessary to go to the Software menu, where to activate the Firmware update item.
The utility will prompt you to read and agree to the user agreement. After that, the firmware of the tablet is updated.
Important! This way of working does not lose the manufacturer's warranty. Even when contacting the service center, if you indicate that the firmware has changed proprietary utilities - the engineers will not have any questions.
This update method is recommended if the tablet owner uses some applications that check the firmware compliance. Among domestic software, such functionality has Sberbank Online. On a device with custom firmware or obtained Root rights, it simply refuses to work. If the update is made with a proprietary utility, no problems will arise.
Programs for updating firmware without a computer
It should be understood that different hacking schemes and obtaining Root rights will be used for different tablets built on their own versions of the OS. As an example, consider one of the simplest techniques on how to flash a tablet with custom firmware via a computer.
We get Root rights
The easiest way to hack a tablet is to use towelRoot programs... You can find an installation package on the Internet, there is no way to download it from GooglePlay. After installing and launching the program, just press one button. After rebooting, the device is ready for the next steps.
Installing the super manager
SU program available for download from GooglePlay. After installing it:
- The program will ask for a restart.
- On restart, the layout of the binary module is set. We choose the normal mode.
- If necessary, you should update the version of the binary or select the "Continue" item.
If the SuperSU version is the latest, no updates to the binary part are required. The program will display only a window with an OK button, which should be pressed.
New service recovery menu
To work with third-party firmware with maximum convenience, you will need to install not only a separate recovery module, but also a cracked bootloader. For this:
- is established freeGee Free program from GooglePlay;
- you can immediately make a backup copy of the firmware;
- select cwm-6.0.4.5 and click Proceed to start installing the bootloader.
Important! After carrying out such operations, the tablet has a new service menu. How to enter it is written above.
Application of custom firmware
Reflashing your tablet at home with a new jailbroken bootloader is easy enough. For this:
- a new firmware is downloaded from the Internet in the form of a ZIP archive file;
- the archive is written to the memory card;
- you enter the service menu of the tablet;
- here you can make a copy of an existing system with data recording to a memory card;
- the existing user data is deleted, Wipe Data item;
- the tablet is flashed using the Install ZIP from SD card item.
You must wait until the process is complete. After that, the item Reboot System Now is selected. The tablet will reboot and start working with the new firmware. If the attempt was unsuccessful, you can restore the old software version from a previously made backup copy.
As a conclusion
The scheme for working with programs given as an example is optimal. There are more complex methods of flashing using a PC. For this is used flashTool program.For it to work, you need data for a specific tablet model, a memory map and other information. The process of flashing with this tool in inexperienced hands or on the basis of incorrect information will end in failure. Likewise, without specific information about the tablet model, it is impossible to make a copy of an existing system.

The mysterious word firmware means nothing more than the Android OS itself. That is, everything that you see when you boot your smartphone is a consequence of this tablet firmware. Thus, the firmware is equivalent to reinstalling the system, it works in a similar way not only in a tablet, but also in a smartphone.
In the event that any elements of the system do not work correctly or failures occur within the system, they just resort to flashing the gadgets. After replacing the system, all elements will return to their original state. There are also some variety of ways to achieve the goal, how to flash a tablet through a computer or without using third-party devices, but first, let's look at the main reasons for flashing.
Is it possible to flash a tablet and is it worth it?
Of course, if you ask the question, is it possible to flash the device in general, the answer is yes. Another, more important and urgent task is to determine whether there are enough compelling reasons for this, what difficulties may be and whether it will help the tablet at all.
Most often, the user is interested in how to flash an Android tablet for the following reasons:
- Update Android, helps keep the OS up to date, especially since updates are released infrequently;
- Expand the capabilities of the system;
- Install the Russified version;
- Recovering from errors;
- Get modern protection;
- Use more advanced Android tools;
- Increase productivity;
- Replace the interface, especially if a different shell is installed from the manufacturer that you do not like.
There are several ways how to flash an Android tablet through a computer, via an SD card, or over the air. Each one is very easy to use, but can cause difficulties due to incorrect connection between devices, slow developer response, etc.
Before flashing a Chinese tablet, you must firmly understand that installing a new Android will lead to the system being cleared, that is, all data will be destroyed. Therefore, you should first create a backup of the system so that in case of failures, you can restore the OS. In general, the procedure is as simple as possible:
- Turn off your tablet or smartphone;
- Turn it on by holding the volume up key and the "Power" button, sometimes you need to additionally press Home;
- Select "backup and restore" via the volume control;
Firmware via computer
In addition to the fact that the method is very convenient to use, sometimes it is simply necessary, since it is very difficult to flash a tablet if it does not turn on without a PC. Also, not all updates can be installed thanks to the Recovery of the device itself.
There are a variety of ways to flash through a PC, in particular when using Fastboot, but we will not consider this option in detail, since it is rather difficult to operate. Another convenient and simple way is to download a special program. Each tablet manufacturer has in its arsenal, on the website, an application that allows you to flash the device. Moreover, this is done automatically, so it is recommended to use:
- Download a utility from the site's site, for example, for LG, the application is called Mobile Support Tool;
- Install the program on your PC;
- Connect the tablet via USB, at the same time select the "Software" operating mode on the device. Now the necessary files will be downloaded, if it has not been done before, and the gadget will reboot;
- A search for updates for the tablet will automatically occur and, if there are any, a dialog box with an active "Start update" button will appear.
If for some reason the update fails, perhaps the device is incorrectly detected, it is indicated that there are no available firmwares, then alternative options should be used.
How to flash a tablet via SD card?
To perform the procedure for installing the firmware from a memory card, you need to have some mandatory tools: get root access, in our case the Rashr application, the bootloader unlocking program and the actual firmware itself, which must be on the device.
The first step is to set the appropriate rights, there are a large number of programs to gain root access, we will use one of the best - this is Kingo Root. The application works in almost all tablets and smartphones. Download link https://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm. We also need Bootloader Unlock, it exists for different device models.
- Connect the device and go to the "For Developers" section;
- Now select "USB Debugging";
- After waiting a little and running the Bootloader Unlock utility, click on the active UnLock key;
- Run the Kingo Root program and wait while the device is analyzed, and you will need to confirm the debugging actions on the smartphone;
- An application from the manufacturer Kingo will be installed on the tablet, through which root rights will be opened, while a window with the "Root" button will appear on the PC screen;
- Run the Rashr program link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id\u003dde.mkrtchyan.recoverytools. You will need superadmin rights, we just got them, agree to the condition;
- Select TWRP Recovery;
- Indicate the most new version firmware downloads;
- Then wait until the installation is complete and reboot the device by going into recovery mode by holding down the volume and Power keys;
- Click on the "Wipe" button to wipe the device;
- Now click on "Install", specify the path to the firmware file;
- Reboot your system and get an updated OS.
The procedure is a little complicated due to the installation of third-party software recovery, but it may not be required. If your smartphone supports the built-in functionality of installing the update, then you can start the procedure immediately from the 10th point.
Installing updates over Wi-Fi
In fact, the action does not require any special manipulation from the user; when connected to Wi-Fi, when there is a prepared update, an update request will automatically appear. The only complication of the question is that there is simply no such offer, although it has already come to other devices.
It is important to understand that when an Android update is released, it is not immediately available for download on all devices. Modified versions are used for each manufacturer's application and processing takes time. Thus, it is up to the tablet manufacturer. When the update has already been installed on other similar gadgets, but you have not, you can use an additional trick.
- Go to "Settings";
- Select the "About tablet" property;
- Click on the item "System update;
- Now select "Check for Updates";
- Additionally, in "Settings" - "Applications" you can erase data, which speeds up the update.
Using the presented methods, you can replace the OS and maximize the performance and security of the device.
If you still have questions on the topic "How to flash an Android tablet?", You can ask them in the comments
If your "mobile friend" began to glitch and slow down, and quite noticeably, then it's time to change his firmware to a more recent one. Most tablet owners contact service centres to replace the firmware. But you can easily do it yourself. Why, one wonders, overpay? All you need is a tablet, a cable for connecting to a computer and unlimited Internet.
Let's say right away that the firmware process mobile devices the same type. Only minor details of the process depend on the model and manufacturer. Otherwise, everything happens according to the same scenario. Problems with self-flashing the tablet should not appear for anyone. After all, this is not a Newton binomial.
Why do this?
There are many reasons for changing the firmware. For example, the tablet does not turn on, or it slows down, or somehow began to work inadequately. There are cases when the firmware of tablets can restore an already completely "killed" device. And many manufacturers patch holes and vulnerabilities in new firmware, optimize work with hardware and improve the operating system in every possible way. It is already vital to re-flash your device.
There is also another reason. The fact is that some users hate official firmware. They only need "custom" (user-modified firmware). There is a grain of truth in this. Custom are usually much faster than their official counterparts. However, there are also pitfalls. In custom, access to managing the OS file system is open. And this is not good, because unknowingly, you can turn the tablet into a brick.
What should be done before the firmware process?
Before taking on this risky business, you should make a backup copy of the OS (if your tablet works). If something goes wrong, you can always restore a working system. Next, we need to decide on the type of firmware and find it. Although the custom ones are faster, the most stable are the official firmware versions. And we will put them.
Let's assume we have found and downloaded the firmware. Now is the time to install the drivers needed to connect the device to your computer. Without this, the firmware of the tablets will be impossible. After installing the drivers, you can connect the tablet to the computer and start the process itself. There are several ways to flash an official OS device. Basically, it all depends on the tablet itself.
Firmware with SD card
The easiest and most effective way. All you need to do is download the firmware file and unpack the DLOAD folder to the root of the SD card. Next, you need to "drive" the tablet into update mode. Different types of devices can use completely different key combinations for this. But in the standard version, these are combinations such as "turn on - volume up" or "turn on and 2 volume buttons".
If everything is done correctly, a green robot will appear on the screen and the tablet will start flashing. When the process is complete, you need to reboot the device. In some cases, you will have to press the power button for a very long time to do this. After rebooting, the device will try to start the updated OS for a very long time. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes.
Samsung Products
The firmware is slightly different from the standard method. This happened due to the hardware and system features of the products of this company. Without software intervention, nothing will come of it. To carry out the firmware process, you will need to download the Odin program. It is specially designed for flashing Samsung tablets.
After installing all the necessary drivers and downloading the firmware itself, you can start the installation process. Launch the Odin program and press the PDA button in it. Then we "drive" the tablet itself into bootloader mode. To do this, press the key combination "volume up and turn on". The combination of buttons may vary depending on the model. We connect the tablet to the PC. Odin will automatically detect the device. After that, it remains to press the "Start" button. The firmware of the tablet will start. The program will notify the end of the process with a sound signal.
After installing the firmware, it is recommended to go into the recovery (volume down and power button) and reset the settings to standard (wipe data). Otherwise, the firmware may become unstable. Then you can start configuring the installed system.
Chinese tablets
It's not that simple with the "Chinese". For them, you need to select the firmware, focusing on the exact name of the model. For if you use the wrong firmware, you can get a "brick". Programs for flashing "Chinese" vary depending on the type of processor. If your device uses processors from MTK, then your choice is SP. If the device is based on Allwinner, then Live Suite is suitable for its firmware.
Sewn strictly using a computer. There is no way to flash them from an SD card. Although custom is installed on them through the Clockwork Mod. Let's analyze an example of a Chinese firmware. During the flashing process, you should be extremely careful. The Chinese are extremely capricious. One awkward move and you have a brick. Of course, bricks can be revived too. But why do we need extra problems? This is what it is - the firmware of tablets from China.
Firmware Samsung N8000 (China)
Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 is a Chinese tablet, its firmware, accordingly, depends on the type of processor. In this device Allwinner A13. Accordingly, you need to download the Live Suite program. Also, don't forget about the drivers. It is difficult to find the firmware for it, but it is there. As a last resort, you can try other firmware from the same devices.
So, unpack the archive with the firmware into some folder with an English name. Launch Live Suite. Turn off the tablet, hold down the "volume up" button and connect to USB. Press the button with the gear image in the program and select the folder with the unpacked firmware. After that, the process itself will begin. At the end of the installation process, the program will display an English message like Update Success. Turn off the tablet and try to turn it on.
N8000 64Gb tablet firmware may differ slightly in functionality, but in any case, they all work stably on devices of this type.
Tablets from "MegaFon" and other operators
At their core, tablets from operators are the same devices from ZTE or Huawei. This means that they are subject to the rules of the standard firmware. They can be flashed using an SD card. The method with firmware update and DLOAD folder is suitable. There are no problems with the firmware process.
The firmware of the MegaFon tablet with a custom OS is carried out according to the typical scenario of updating the firmware using Clockwork Mod. In general, these tablets are some of the most flexible in terms of firmware. There are never problems with them. The only difference from conventional versions of tablets is that these devices are hardware locked to use only one SIM card of a particular operator. Otherwise, these are ordinary devices.
DNS tablets
These devices can be safely called "purebred Chinese", even though they are produced in Russia according to the passport. No build quality, strange Allwinner and MTK processors. In general, all the attributes of a miracle of Chinese engineering. Accordingly, they are sewn in the same way as their Chinese counterparts. You need to accurately select the firmware and program for the update. Otherwise, you get a brick.
The DNS tablet firmware is no different from the Chinese firmware. Therefore, all actions performed when flashing Chinese crafts are relevant here as well. These tablets have only one plus - they are more responsive than the "Chinese" in this regard. And usually the firmware is installed on them without any problems.
Conclusion
Flashing tablets is not that difficult. The main thing is to have firmware for tablets 4.1, 4.2 or 4.4 versions. The rest is a matter of technology. The process of updating or replacing a tablet itself is distinguished by a clear sequence of actions. It is inadmissible to arbitrarily change the order of actions. Perhaps this is the main rule that you should remember when flashing this or that device.
Of course, the process of flashing one or another device can be slightly modified due to the design features of the device. But the very essence of this process does not change. There are several ways to flash. Choose which one you like best, and go.
