Step 3:
Go into the unzipped folder and enter the “USB-Burning-tool-SPI” folder.
Step 4:

Step 5:
Now you need to load the update image (folder “V971D_A4.1.1-1101” -> “Resource.V971D_A4.1.1-1101.zip”). Note that the image name ends with a .zip.
To load into tool, go to the top left hand corner of the tool with the character (配置->导入升级文件), and choose the “Resource” file in the unzipped folder.
Step 6:
Wait for the tool to fully load the chosen image. You will see it appear in the tool as below.

While still holding down the “Home” button, press and hold the power button for 4 seconds. Both buttons can be released when you see that the tool has detected the tablet.

Step 10:
Click next and wait for driver to be installed.
Step 11: (Make sure steps 8-10 have been done before, else update will not be successful)

Step 12:
Press the “Start” (开始) button on the right side of the tool to start the update process.
Step 13:
Updating 1 tablet will take about 5-10 minutes. After it has been completed, you will see the tool as below. It should state 100% and the USB port corresponding to the tablet connection should be green. Click on the 2nd button below the first to “Stop” (停止) the tool. After doing this, the tablet should be in “shut down” status and it is safe to remove the USB connection to the PC. The tablet can be switched on and will function normally after this.
If the update fails halfway through, press the “Stop” button. Disconnect the tablet from USB cable. Go to step 7 and start from there. If a message pops up asking you to do something. It should be at top left hand corner 配置->重置端口对应信息 . After clicking ok on the message, go to the path and click on (重置端口对应信息) before proceeding with the rest of step 7.
