option a: get a USB keyboard: menu>system update>Detect version>dl and update to 20120619. This is the easiest and I recommend that.


option b: dl and install any ROM you can find for your PD10. Now there are all together seven of them, so, you need to pick the right one. With GPS, it should be PD10 delux. your latest is 20120428, file size 131 Mb, file size 121 MB wont work. Download from 1st post to your winPC. It is a .rar file, extract it to a folder, open the folder, you will see a file update.zip, copy that file to a microSD card. Has to be the highest folder, like e:\update.zip, cannot be in a subfolder. Insert the microSD card into PD10, hold down volume-, then press power button, at least for 10 - 15 seconds when holding both button down, you will see a green android, you can now release the buttons. THis is the recovery mode. use volume- to navigate, and volume+ to select. Select upgrade through SD. Sit back, let it reboot several times. Go and enjoy your now lively PD10. I still recommend to upgrade to the latest ROM 20120619.

Post back on your endeavor.

good luck,

The new ROM 20120619 solved one major flaw, battery leak. Now, the PD10 when in sleep status, hibernate, the battery wont change for 2 days! Before, the battery fell flat after 8 hrs, unless you turn on airplane mode. It also fix some other bugs and add options to some Settings menu, made PD10 runs smoother. And PD10 after update X 2 days, stable. No random reboot. Strongly recommend to update.

I found that the DPI settings on my PD10 were too high on the stock ROM. Of course there is a problem changing the settings on the build.prop if the tablet does not have full root access. I believe that a 7" tablet with low resolution should be set around 120-133 dpi.

We have scripts here that allow you to pull and push build.prop files, but they were created for the A10 chipset, and I haven't had the chance to test on this tablet yet.

LCD mod from GooglePlay works very handy, put in the DPI you want, 120, 160 ..., reboot done. Save you energy to push and pull, literally, :)

Update through the air, using your wifi. Menu>System update>Detect version>download and install>Upgrade now or upgrade later, pick upgrade now and watch it reboot 3 times. Done. No SD, no winPC, no nothing.
