====Repairing a bricked device====
If you have never flashed this updated bootloader (2.0 or above) and are unable to boot the device normally:
 
# Open PhoenixSuit.
# Click the ''Firmware'' button then the ''Image'' button and locate the fastboot recovery image file (''sun6i_boot-fastboot_v2.0.img'').
# Power off the tablet completely and plug the USB cable into just your tablet but nothing else (not your computer or a power adapter).
# While holding the volume(-) button plug in the USB cable to your computer.<br>If you do not immediately see a prompt to format in PhoenixSuit, press the power button repeatedly (around 10x).
# In PhoenixSuit click the Yes button to allow Format mode. <br>The image will be written and after a quick reboot your device should now display ''FASTBOOT'' to indicate it is in fastboot mode. <br>The bootloader has now been flashed. You may now close PhoenixSuit.
# You may now flash a working OS (continue from the point further up this page that says ''You may now close PhoenixSuit.'')
