OK, I know [http://lenovo369i.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-update.html this ain't my original guide], but I decided to just share this one for those who would like to flash their [[Lenovo]] back to stock firmware, either due to messing the system up, or if you feel like braving the river and install the latest (but not necessarily the greatest). | OK, I know [http://lenovo369i.blogspot.com/2014/02/how-to-update.html this ain't my original guide], but I decided to just share this one for those who would like to flash their [[Lenovo]] back to stock firmware, either due to [[imbecile|messing the system up]], or if you feel like braving the river and install the latest (but not necessarily the greatest). | ||

*Now when you're ready, take off the battery, as we need to install the Preloader driver. This can be found at Driver - USB VCOM Driver(download tool). There are three subfolders with .inf files in it, namely for Windows 2000/XP, Vista, and 7. Fire up Device Manager and expand the COM ports item. Plug in your device, and you should see a preloader device on a certain COM port (COM3 or whatever). Now be quick on this one, kids - right-click on the device, and then press Update Driver. Point it to where you saved the VCOM drivers (protip: copy the appropriate files to your desktop and then tell Windows to look from there). If done correctly the preloader should load up fine. | *Now when you're ready, take off the battery, as we need to install the Preloader driver.
