It will erase all the data from the tablets internal storage including Google accounts system and apps data settings, and downloaded apps to clear music pictures and other user data.

The SD card needs to be raised due to space constraints.

Erase all your personal information and downloaded apps you can't reverse this action.

Begins the reboot process

It just keeps on flashing the Autel logo. This step takes around a minute and 45 seconds.

Finally it boots up

3.Update device

After booting, it will detect a new version and update automatically.

The tool may forget the WiFi address. So if you don’t turn on the WiFi button to connect with an available WiFi, there is nothing in the Update option.

On the contrary, if you connect with WiFi, you can see system update option and there is red dot on Update.

Then you can update App directly.
