Bro, sorry that you are unable to update the firmware as it should but I assure you that the firmware is being tested again and again on numerous units at our side before releasing. And we tried on all versions that we've released so far (this includes 1.0 / 1.0.1 / 1.1.2 / 1.1.3 / 1.1.4) but we didn't noticed any problems with the updating on our side.
The glitch that my colleague mentioned about actually came from me, because I noticed the "new version" line in my script is written as 1.1.4 instead of 1.1.6, but nevertheless it didn't affect the updating on our end before we release the firmware, but this was still renamed correctly and thus requesting you to give it a go again.
If you still couldn't update the firmware via online (still cracking my brain to think of a reason why...), you can still do it manually via
Settings > Backup & reset
Here are the steps to follow
1. Launch the browser on your Tab 7 and at the address bar key in this URL,
www.acryan.com/downloads/VT97100/Version1.1.6.zip
The firmware update file will be downloaded to your internal NAND memory's
Download folder.
[Alternatively you can also download this from your PC and then copy it over to the internal NAND memory]
2. Go to
Settings > Backup & reset > Recovery Mode (under SYSTEM UPGRADE)
3. After the Tab 7 is rebooted in recovery mode, press the "Vol -" button to select "
apply update from external storage", then the return button and then go to the Download folder (or to the folder name which you have copied the firmware to), select Version1.1.6.zip and then press the return button again
4. The installation will start and after it is completed, select "
reboot system now", then press the return button to reboot the Tab 7
Sorry for any inconvenience caused but while
we look into why the firmware couldn't be upgraded online, you may want to follow the above steps to manually install it first?
