I would suggest if your tablet is running ok, visit the update thread and do the update as it puts all the files on your internal SD and then you can recover the tablet easily any time if it's messed up or bricked.

I have not actually recovery flashed my tablets, but on both models, have gone as far as being ready to choose a file. If it works differently to what I describe here, please let me know so I can edit the guide, but this should get you close enough to get it sorted.
Below is a link for the firmware update zip files you would normally download to the tablet from Tempo Australia during the update process.
It's a link to the directory on their FTP server.
1r for the single core 971r
2x for the dual core 972xs
http://59.154.20.230 - /
Unfortunately, the files were too large to upload from my own PC to here. I don't have a fixed IP address so cannot host them reliably.
I have converted this to a WORD doc and attached to the post so it is easy to download and print.
FOR AMID 972XS (971R is slightly different)
Download the correct 2x zip file for your tablet model, to your PC, Linux box or Mac.
UnZip and have a look in the directory. There are 2 zipped directories and a file.
Don't unzip the contents any further at this point. You need to copy these files to the root of your SD card for the tablet.
Insert SD in tablet, then put the tablet into recovery mode.
Recovery mode is very easy, hold down both volume buttons and then press and hold power until the light comes on, then release power but keep the volume buttons in until the green Android recovery animation appears, release both buttons and it will then bring up the following menu.
Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
wipe media partition
set efuse item
pixcir calibration
Choose to "apply update from sd card". Navigate to amid_g04ref-ota-eng.potti.zip and press power button to select file and start the process.
Volume buttons allow you to navigate up and down the choices and power button is select.
I'm not sure if this is the original firmware, or updated, so once rebooted and running, check if the tablet has flash 10.2 installed. If so, go to the update thread and update the tablet, or enter recovery mode again and try the patch.zip
FOR AMID 971R (972XS is slightly different)
Download the correct 1r zip file for your tablet model, to your PC, Linux box or Mac.
UnZip and have a look in the directory. There are 2 zipped directories inside.

Insert SD in tablet, then put the tablet into recovery mode.
Recovery mode is very easy, hold down both volume buttons and then press and hold power until the light comes on, then release power but keep the volume buttons in until the ICS tablet splash screen shows, release both buttons, then the green Android recovery animation appears, it will then bring up the following menu.
Android system recovery <3e>

Choose to "apply update from sd card". Navigate to f04ref-ota-eng.potti.zip and press "volume up" button to select file and start the process.
