Will OTA firmware upgrades reset the device?

Thanks.

I am trying to use LiveSuite v1.07 to update a vi40 ultimate. does anyone know the correct key press / power on sequence to trigger the update. So far in the forums i can only find details which refer to a center menu key? which is this key on the ultimate?
Or is there an easy way to convert to english language on the android settings (already changed keyboard and defaults)

I also would like to know how to kick off the update process... I have a 16gb Elite with the three buttons at the centre/bottom.

And... I am also unsure of other stuff...

A Windows PC is required? You can't do an upgrade using SDK or ADB tools? (I am on a mac).

My Vi40 has, after I ran the battery down (said it had 88% - it lied!) decided to just show the android 'dancing' graphic... is there anything I can do short of flashing new firmware? I haven't got anything backed up... reset is not doing anything except resetting... o.0

Is there a 'recovery' mode on this tablet? It is my first such device and I am still getting to grips with it... I feel like such a n00b... I am fine building half-million-dollar Sun servers, but my $200 tablet has me up against it, I'm afraid...

I am very tech, so anything unix-like and esoteric is welcome

Hey I am a mac user and livesuit drove me mad...
try this CWM method, dead easy if you follow the destructions... as long as you put the zip IMG file on your tablet / sd card (using USB transfer with your mac or pc) you can actually get the tablet to flash itself with some easy terminal commands..

This seems to be an invalid address given here (mediafire...). Can anyone post the right address to download the package or tell what is inside that I can search for somewhere else?
thank you -ame

Was a bit quick, I have figured out myself: Free Cloud Storage - MediaFire is the Ondavi40CWMRecovery.zip file.

I was able to do the firmware upgrade without any issues. But I still have problems using Google Maps with Wi-Fi direct GPS. Is there a guide on how to set these functions up? Thank you.

Hi I'm a Mac user too and I hate livesuite.
I have flashed my Onda with Vanilla firmware which was an CWM package.
Could you please confirm (If I understood you correctly) that I can download the latest package from Onda website and I can simply go into recovery and then flash the zip file I downloaded off the website? According to Onda website the latest version (BETA) is v1.4

Thanx
