Hi elios115 welcome to Android Forums. Bad news I think though.

You probably wish you didn't. BTW I'm in China.

Sounds very much like your device is bricked. Problem is the .IMG software file has to come from the actual manufacturer of the tablet. Don't suppose there's any brand names or model numbers on your device or documentation, probably not.

Thing is there's now like hundreds/thousands of different Chinese ICS 4.0 tablets out there, from many anonymous Shenzhen tech manufacturers and trading companies.

Suggest you send it back where it came from, say it doesn't work or it's broken, get a refund or replacement.

BTW a couple of months ago we bricked a cheapo no-brand MP4 player, because the flashing software was buggy and crashed. Sent it back to where it came from and got another one.

thank you for your reply.
in fact, the manufacturer gave me a link to the image file.
here s the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/exipit0y32u529i/update-20120516.img

but everytime i try to flash with livesuit i get an error msg: "image file invalid"

if i try to flash any other image, it flashes with no problem but it wont be compatible with my tab(wifi not working, camera not opening)...

anybody knows what might cause the "image file invalid" error?

Ignore my post. You mean firmware image file not pictures. I must learn how to follow along.
