2 Step 2: install drivers, most of the people stuck in this step, here is an easy method to install the drivers:

Install Moborobo [ http://www.moborobo.com/ ]

Connect NEO X7 with charger, and use the usb cable to connect NEO X7 with your PC, press the power on button on X7 and power on the neo X7;

Go to settings in android on the NEO X7 and choose USB and check Connect to PC

Go to storage (in settings in android on the NEO X7) then in the right corner under USB connection check mass storage

Go to Developer options check USB Debugging

Run Moborobo and after finding your android device connected to the computer it will promt to install the drivers…choose install driver software anyway

Step 3 Open the flash tool, and prepare to flash the stock rom:

Decompress the flash tool zip, and open the RKBatchtool v1.7

Load the firmware you downloaded for neo x7;

connect X7 with power adapter, use the OTG cable in NEO X7 package, and connect NEO X7 with your pc USB port, find a paper clip,and press the recovery button on NEO X7, and hold the recovery button, at the same time press the power button on NEO X7, later, you will see the flash tool change to the following:

After you see the green block, it means your NEO X7 is prepare for flashing. Now you need to click ” Restore ” button, please notice, click the restore button,not the “upgrade” button. and then the flash tool will flash firmware on NEO X7;

After flash successfully, you will see the message above: Restore Done success<1> Fail<0>….
it means you have falshed your NEO X7 successfully.
Please don’t take off the power adatper, now you should wait about 5 mins for neo x7 to do some recovery, and after that, you can connect with HDMI cable, and check the system information.

    Dear Eric,

    Thanks for the detailed explanation.

    I have a driver problem. Moborobo fails to connect to the X7. I did all settings (usb debugging, unknown sources, mass storage, etc.). Even I tried two different notebooks, one is Windows 7 64 bit with USB 3.0 ports and the other is Windows 7 32 bit with USB 2.0 ports. The problem is the same... Flash mode is working, update the fw. Also when I run the TPSparkyRoot, it can not find the device. What can I do?

    Thanks a lot.

    Dear,

    i worked hard to get it done and I made progress. The Rochchip batch tool turns into the color pink instead of green. Somehow my Minix x7 don't react on pushing recovery and power buton at the same time. Is simply turns the divice off. Then I have to go back to settings and connect it to the computer again.

    please advise how I can connect rockchip batch tool with the minix.
