Hello everybody.

In today's post I'll show you how to flash / upgrade your Rikomagic MK802IIIS Android Mini PC. First of all, you'll have to install Rockusb v2.0 Driver on your PC. If you have Windows 8 you better folow the procedure presented in this video. The driver and the RK Batch Tool can be downloaded from here.

Next, download the latest Rikomagic firmware version 20130118 from here or from here. 

Now you have to put the MK802IIIS in 'firmware update mode'. For that, you have to run RK Batch Tool, prepare a thin metal stick, press the recover button by the stick according below method, connect the unit with computer through the USB OTG port, not the power port (Micro USB to USB cable), hold it for 3-5 seconds and then loose the stick.

This procedure will cost 3 minutes so please wait patiently, during recovery/upgrade, don’t remove the USB cable. When the final prompt window appears, then means recovery is successful, pull out USB cable, then total process is finished. 

First turn on the unit after recovery/update will cost more long time, and even occur some lag issue, it’s normal since internal applications file need to be decompressed and occupy RAM, after 5 minutes, then system running well. So don’t worry about that. If you get stuck, may consider to restart the device.
