You need to press the small recovery button on the back which show in the photos<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/image1.geekbuying.com\/content_pic\/201306\/geekbuying-7cb6133f-5884-4201-af0a-912d7e55aea4.jpg\" alt=\"317088\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The idea is that you should press the recovery button for a while,  and then connect your x31 with your pc via the mini USB to usb cable.<\/p>\n<p>6 When you have successfully connected your x31 to the  computer you  should hear a sound from windows telling you that a new  device has been  found. You can release the recovery button now.<\/p>\n<p>7 The next bit is important\u2026 we don\u2019t want windows to try and   automatically install any drivers as we want to select the ones from the   RKBatchTool1.7 folder.<\/p>\n<p>9 Depending on which windows version you have the next bit will be   different. In an ideal world the install driver dialog will appear as   shown in the picture below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"3\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"263\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/4.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"4\" src=\"https:\/\/blogimage.geekbuying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"238\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>9. You need to select the option \u201cinstall from a list or specific location (Advanced)<\/p>\n<p>10. At the next step you need to check the option \u201cinclude this   location in the search\u201d and then browse to the folder:   RKBatchTool1.7\/RockusbDriver<\/p>\n<p>11. Click Next, and the driver should install. You will get a message   to tell you the driver installation has been successful \u2013 or not!<\/p>\n<p>PLEASE NOTE \u2013 If it didn\u2019t work or Windows automatically installed a   driver you will need to completely remove the driver from the system  and  start over. To do this varies between systems but basically you  will  need to locate the device manager on your PC and find a USB device   called \u201cRK31SDK\u2033 and completely remove and delete the driver from the   system.<\/p>\n<p>12. If the driver installation is successful you can then proceed to the firmware installation!<\/p>\n<p>13. Open the program RKBatchTool and the tool will open.<\/p>\n<p>14. At the top right of the RKBatchTool Window you will see a file   selector, click on this and select your Firmware file in this case:   Update_X31.img<\/p>\n<p>15. If your x31\u00a0 is correctly connected to the PC, the  RKBatchTool  program will show a green square with \u201c1\u2033 on it. If not then  you need  to go back and make sure the USB driver is installed  correctly.<\/p>\n<p>16. Click on \u201cRestore\u201d to install the firmware!<\/p>\n<p>17. The program will give an indication of what its doing with a   progress percentage shown below, when its finished you will get a   message like *****upgrade done success*****<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content
