Download Uberoid ROM.
Gamefront
Download SD Formatter and install it on a Windows PC.
SD Formatter 3.0 for SD/SDHC/SDXC - SD Association
Connect the SD card to your computer and use the SD formatter to create an empty FAT32 volume.
Unzip the Uberoid download to an empty folder on your PC first, then copy the files onto the SD card. (for some reason extraction directly to the SD card failed on me)
The wmt_scriptcmd file and FirmwareInstall folder should be on the root of the card.
With the android tablet turned off, insert the SD card, and turn it back on.
During startup the android tablet will read the SD card and install the firmware. It took about 4 minutes for the process to complete before the device rebooted into the new OS. Watch the screen because the SD card must be ejected when the firmware installation completes or the upgrade will run again after the device restarts.
After installation I went into the applications list and found an app for fixing the market. I was then able to go into the regular Android Market after setting up my WiFi connection. I found it necessary to search for GMail in the market to update the version contained in the ROM image. After doing that I was able to access GMail on the tablet.
Everything else I did was related to setting up the environment the way I like such as using ADW Launcher as my default launcher. Moving icons around etc.
* Note that there is a large clock widget on the home screen that will prevent you from putting icons on the desktop, I removed that.
Overall this improved the device 1000%. I was really disappointed in the tablet and now I am extremely happy with it.
Clarification: Others have been reporting that they have tried the information I have posted, some with success and others without success. Make sure your loading the right ROM for your device. The Tech Know web site has many ROMs to try. My device has a blue LED, WiFi Only and is 7 inches. If your device does not fit that description, you can still follow my upgrade instructions but you need a different ROM.
I have pretty much done all this stuff & I still can't get it to work. I have the GREEN LED & My Tablet is 3G compatible.
I think I found the right ROM but when I put the SD card in, nothing happens. It doesn't upload anything or delete anything.
When I used the SD card Formatter, I wasn't able to Flash Erase the SD card. Could that be the problem? And if so, how do I fix it?
In addition, right now, I can't download anything onto my tablet. It says Facebook is downloaded, but it isn't, I can't download the Kindle or any other apps. Will I be able to do that after getting the new ROM??
Thanks!!
