This is a common guide for reflashing RockChip based devices. All RK SoC (RK3066, RK3188, RK3288, RK3229, RK3328, RK3399 and so on) supports the same applications and drivers for Host system, if 3rd party producers do not add any other limitations or special options. Differences can be in hardware parts, so you need to detect OTG port and recovery buttons correctly.
Notice: this guide is 100% working with Ugoos RK devices.

BEFORE START

Rockchip Batch Tool

What do you need:

- Image file
- Host PC
- USB OTG Cable
- Supported host OS: Windows XP (32/64bit) Windows 7 (32/64bit) Windows 8 (32/64bit) Windows 10 (32/64bit)

The first thing you need is to download the archive with firmware. Inside archive, you find:

1. Disconnect the Rockchip device from the power and run RKDevtool executing AndroidTool.exe. Change to the Upgrade Firmware section. First load the firmware with.img file. Hold the reset button on the device and connect with a cable from a USB of our TV-Box to a USB port on our PC (. See the previous connection notes if we have questions).
2. Rockchip AndroidTool 2.3, 20:11 When Finless wrote his great tutorial about how to backup rockchip devices with the previous 'AndroidTool 2.1' he also noticed that it has 2 bugs that prevent a correct restore of backups.
3. Download the latest Rockchip Factory Tool version from the link given above and extract it in on your PC. Next, you will need to add the firmware (Img or Bin) which you want to flash on your device. In order to add the firmware file, click on the Firmware button and locate the firmware file from your PC. Now, connect your device with the PC via.
