Problems Updating?

[IO TAB] Problems with 3.1 OTA

If you are having problems getting through the update process (Stuck at 13%) try the following:

Files

• ODIN version: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DDN6BYB2
• PDA.md5: http://www.mediafire.com/?gcenefqc3khcc0c

1. Extract the .md5 file from the zip
2. In Odin, under the PDA section, select the downloaded PDA.md5 file
3. Keep everything else blank/default.
4. Boot the tablet in Download Mode
   Hold the Volume Down Button and Volume Up Button while booting the tablet.
5. Connect the tablet through USB and click Start.

Now when you check for the OTA after flashing, it'll work fine and get past 13%. (It is normal for the process to stay a long time at 76%) The tablet will stay rooted.

Note:

The above Odin file can also save your device if it is bricked or frozen.
