+# Plug the tablet into your computer via the USB cord
-# 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).
+# Once device information (e.g. ''Model: flatfish'') shows on the PhoenixSuit window, click the ''Firmware'' button.
-# In PhoenixSuit click the Yes button to allow Format mode. <br>The image will be written and your device should now display ''FASTBOOT'' to indicate it is in fastboot mode. The bootloader has now been flashed.
+# Click ''Image'' and locate the recovery image file (''sun6i_boot-fastboot_v2.0.img'').
+# When prompted to upgrade the device firmware, click ''Yes''.
+# Click ''Yes'' for the mandatory/forced format. <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.
 # Run the ''flash-all-fastboot'' file you placed in the folder with your build files. This will flash a working OS.
 #* If it stops at <code>< waiting for device ></code> try unplugging and replugging the cord.  If this does not work, follow [https://wiki.mozilla.org/FirefoxOS/TCP/Installing_USB_Drivers_on_Windows these instructions] to install USB drivers and run ''flash-all-fastboot'' again.
