You can download the lastest firmware from our blog, and then decompress the file, you will get a file called” update.img”
Copy the update.img file to the micro sd card, and insert the micro sd card to your G5A or G7.Later, the system will inform you
find a update file, and ask if you want to upgrade, click yes, and the system will reboot, and go to the upgrade mode, after 5 mins, you will get the new system.
