The reason for this is assemblers from the Middle Kingdom, who literally flooded the market with almost identical tablets. It is not surprising that one of the questions that a happy owner of such a portable computer may have is: "How to flash a Chinese Android tablet?"
Why replace software
Replacement of operating system files may also be necessary in case of incorrect operation of any software and hardware components. In fact, the reasons can be very different
Firmware selection
Firmware is a set of files that are written to the internal drive of the gadget and form the operating system. Inside it, among other things, are drivers that control hardware components. In the event of an erroneous selection and download process, the gadget may stop turning on, becoming the so-called "brick". Firmware for Chinese tablets are selected not only by name, but also by revision. Let's take an example. Take the 3450DUO model. There are modifications B and W, which differ in the display driver. After downloading the operating system for W into the 3450DUO/B, the user will get a dark screen. Next, we will consider solutions on MTK processors
Stitching software
Firmware for Chinese tablets work better with the latest versions of Flash Tool. So, 5.1352 proved to be excellent. It's completely free and there are no availability issues.
How to flash Chinese tablets. Preparing
"Before proceeding with the update procedure, you need to make sure that the gadget's battery is fully charged. You also need a computer running Windows (less questions arise), a free USB port and an appropriate cable. It is recommended to use laptops or PCs with a backup power system, as interrupting the flashing process may damage the internal memory structure."
Unpack the firmware files (boot.img, system.img) into it. The tablet must be turned off and not connected to the computer.
""Filling" system"
The next step is to run the flash_tool.exe program. In the Download Agent window, you need to specify MTK_AllInOne_DA.bin from the flasher application directory. In the windowbelow you need to select a markup file - the so-called scatter. This is the key point. Anyone who is interested in how to flash Chinese tablets should have at least a general idea about this. Depending on the modification of the processor, the mentioned file may have different names. So, for modern mass models it is called MT6582_Android_scatter.txt. You cannot substitute this file from other devices, even with the same processor. With rare exceptions. Otherwise, you will have to learn not only how to flash Chinese tablets, but also how to restore them from the “brick” state.
When all this is done, you need to click the Download button. The program will go into standby mode. It is required to connect the tablet to the computer and observe the download process. If everything went well, then the program window can be closed, the tablet can be disconnected from the computer and turned on. After the software upload operation, the initial download takes a long time, up to several minutes.
Important points
When learning how to flash a Chinese Samsung tablet or any other, you should rememberwhat:
Sometimes the UBOOT block is not flashed, and the tablet does not start. The problem lies in the fact that the path to uboot.img is written in the scatter file, and lk.bin is present in the list, which it is, but renamed.
- Some models of tablet computers and smartphones refuse to be flashed due to the peculiarities of connecting to a computer. In this case, immediately after connecting to the USB port, you need to press and hold the Power button together with the volume rocker up.
- To avoid failures, it is recommended not to connect the gadget to the ports on the front panel of the PC system unit.
Fake
"Unfortunately, not all mobile devices marked "Made in China" can boast of high quality and stable operation. Very often, gadget owners ask how to flash a Chinese n8000 tablet. Well, if someone had this copy of the model from Samsung in their hands, then one can only sympathize. Of course, we are not talking about any 64 GB of internal memory and 2 GB of RAM. This fake, at best, has a modest 512 MB of cells for running programs and 1.5 GB on the built-in drive. And, what is quite sad, it often stops working after a few months, even with careful use."
There is a solution though! Below we will explain howflash tablet samsung galaxy n8000. The method, of course, is not a panacea, since absolutely any “stuffing” can be inside the branded case. Therefore, what works in one case is completely useless in another

The filling process will begin. When a success message appears, the cable can be disconnected. That's all - the tablet can be checked.
