so just a cheapie Chinese is not even
branded and we're having issues with
software these are notoriously bad for
crashing and everything this one
actually has a reset button here on the
back but it's pretty useless it doesn't
do anything and it's stuck in a boot
loop so it just keeps going around in
circles we've got a couple options what
we can do is it's usually a combination
of the three buttons and maybe the home
button if you have one this hasn't got a
home button so it'll just be a
combination of these three buttons on
top and it's usually to get it into
recovery mode you're usually going to be
hidden either the volume down and the
power button or the volume up in the
power button in some cases its volume
down volume up and the power button and
if you've got a home button there as
well you're going to have to mix that in
as well and just try as many
combinations as you can and you're going
to get some of them as well that if you
hold the power down power up and hold
the power button nothing will happen if
you tap the power button and it seems to
work some of them again what you're
going to have to do is hold down the
down volume and or the up volume and hit
the power button and hold it even
throughout the boot when it comes up
that boot screen that's it's loading and
keep orden two of them with this one and
what I actually have to do is once the
boot screen comes up I have to release
the power button and keep holding the
volume up button so just to use to show
you that really quick we're going to
hold the power up are there volume up
sorry and we're going to hit the power
button at the same time and once the
boot screen comes up here I'm going to
let go of the power button I can keep
holding the volume up that will bring me
to hopefully
it'll bring me to this screen um once
you get this logo you're pretty much
home set so what you'll do is a
combination of three buttons again
usually the power button will give you
an enter command and the volume up and
volume down will give you and the
corresponding opened down in to your
menu so you can see from this one it
says number one is reboot system now
number two is apply update from ADB and
number three is apply update from sdcard
number four is wipe data/factory reset'
number five is wipe the cache partition
and number six is wipe the media
partition now I've got and the go-ahead
from the customer just to wipe out and
just to get it recovered so we are going
to go down and we're going to start with
number six if you have any difficulty
following this just go to factory so
that usually that's usually good enough
but with these I usually start with the
media partition the cache definitely and
then the factory set just in case one
isn't covered so we're going to do wipe
data partition and we'll press the power
button to enter that command and as you
can see is doing this thing so the next
one is we're going to wipe the cache so
again down to five one press the power
button
formatting cache cache white complete
and finally we're going to do number
four which is wipe data/factory reset'
this may be laid out slightly
differently but it does exactly the same
thing on the next screen and I have
loads of nas and one years so it's just
it's to confirm you're going to delete
all the user data so we're going to
select that
and you can see it running through run
through the code bare mind doing this
you're not going to have any of your
photos your music and then that you've
saved to the device once this is done
and we can reboot and fingers crossed
usually on this reboot as well a copy of
it slower to startup and it's got a load
all that software for the first time
again so this should be kind of generic
to all these the cheaper brand of and
tablets the Komodo
China so pretty much everyone that I've
seen for example any these guys as well
you know this is the irulu and seems to
work on other it's usually one of one of
the combinations will get you going
so in real time you can see Android logo
up there and we're just waiting for it
to boot
so there you go I just to make sure
everything is actually working see on
your apps yeah everything seems to be
fine just go to the home menu yeah there
we go
so everything's back to factory reset um
yeah so pretty much good to go and just
to test that up volume this is the weird
thing about these Chinese some of these
Chinese brands the volume rocker works
perfectly but not through the menu that
we use beforehand it wouldn't have been
a major deal anyway because we could
have done the volume from here but you
would presume it should work on the
other menu as well anyway guys it's good
to be back
stick with me over the next couple of
weeks I'll strangle as many videos as I
can and yeah first video of 2015
