Flashing Firmware Image Files Using The Rockchip Batch Tool This is a quick guide to Flash single firmware image files onto your tablet. Manufacturers mainly provide single image files to upgrade tablets, as do some Rom Cookers for their custom firmwares. Rockchip RK3229 Firmware Modding. I’ve used a computer running Ubuntu 14.04, and assume you have most tools pre-installed. The first step is to download the firmware (MXQ-4Kotaok20160127.img update.img), and install the tools to extract it. The rockchip linux SDK source tree is located in multi Git repository hosted by Github. The SDK uses repo to sync down source code. Create an empty directory to hold your working files. Mkdir rk-linux cd rk-linux. To initialize Linux SDK source tree, you need to get repo first. Sudo apt-get install repo. STEP 2: Load Firmware IMG file to Rockchip Batch Flash Tool. Now that the necessary drivers are installed, it’s time to load the firmware file to the Rockchip Batch Flash Tool. Launch the tool by double-clicking on the RKBatrchTool.exe file. Then right next to the FW path field, you will see a button with three dots.
Firstly this is presuming that you have already installed the Rockchip drivers for your tablet if not follow my guide here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p…-for-flashing!

Now put your tablet into recovery mode or flash mode as it is sometimes called and connect it to your PC. As you will see you will see that your device is connected, indicated by the green box. If you are upgrading from say a manufacturers Rom to a new version that hit the upgrade button, if you are installing a custom firmware that usually it is the restore button.
Step 3
Once you have done this the software will send the firmware to your tablet and the flashing process will begin, you will see firmware loading on the RockchipBatchTool screen, just leave it to do its work and be patient and be careful not to knock or touch anything while it is flashing.
