Often Android devices require a complete reinstall. Often this is associated with the failures, because of which the gadget works incorrectly or simply does not show the maximum of its capabilities. It should be recognized that reinstalling Android on the tablet is the same as reinstalling on a smartphone, however, in the case of large-sized devices, we have not such a large selection among firmware.
It is also important to say that many users actively use the so-called custom firmwares, thanks to which you can use a slightly advanced functionality, as well as enjoy the upgraded interface.
How to reinstall android on the tablet - search for the desired version of the firmware
To reinstall, we need a one or another version of Android. If reinstallation is needed directly to increase the stability of the current firmware, it is enough to make a "full reset" to factory settings.
The popular custom firmware for Android gadgets is CyanogenMod, enough go to their official website and choose your device. In other cases, go to the site forum 4pda.ru. and find a topic with firmware to your smartphone or tablet.
Reinstalling android on the tablet
- You need to make sure that the device is fully charged, and it has enough memory to install the system without any problems. Also, experts are recommended to draw backup systems, or at least important files. For example, you can go to the phone book and in the settings menu save the array of the necessary information. Also, you should pay attention to the programs like Nandroid Backup and Titanium Backup, which are intended for a complete backup system. If, when reinstaling something goes wrong, then there should be no major problems.
- Directly the firmware file that we need to reinstall must be located in the root directory on the memory card (or in the internal memory, if there is no external storage). You also need to download the so-called Gapps, which are services from Google. Best go to the site 4pda.ru. And choose these files for a specific device (it is better to choose the simplest gaps that do not have dozens of pre-installed programs from Google). All this again needs to throw on the memory card.
- Now you need to go to the recovery menu, on different devices it is activated in different ways. For example, on Samsung tablets, you need to simultaneously press the volume key up, the power button and the home button.
- After entering the menu, select Install item in which you will have to find the firmware file. The recovery menu will ask whether to install the firmware - you need to confirm this action by selecting "Yes" options. A minute later, the installation will be completed, and now you need to install Gapps in the same way. Immediately after that, in the recovery menu, select "Reboot" or "Exit", after which the tablet will reboot. As a result, it will be necessary to make the initial system setting, exactly as after buying the device and its first inclusion.
- If for some reason the installation passed unsuccessfully, you can restore the system from those new backup files, and for this you need to use the recovery menu item called "Backup", after which you should select a specific backup file (in the file name is the date and time of the backup copies).
