Is this the only way, I thought by downloading the update from facebook and then updating via the file would update everything?

Its the only way for an Android update.
After it, it is possible to update over the air.

So is this the reason why the update didn't work as I need to update Android?

Right, you must update to Android 8.1, because this update works for this Android version.

I've not seen any difference after installing updates since buying it nearly two years ago. The more you mess around the more likely it is to go wrong and if it does then you'll really have problems.
You won't be able to see the difference because you're just using this almost universally usable tablet as a dumb e-book reader.

No, you can't.
Swype may only work on some devices - I don't know it on any.

Ah OK so its simply hit power button right, any apps people can recommend for this device. So far got moon reader and not sure if its safe to input my login for the play store due to security updates being outdated?

I missed completely android 8.1
It was a year ago, it seems.
It proves that I probably don't need it…

But now not all the mega links are working.
In particular, I found two not working links:

1. AndroidTool (RKDevTool v2.58)
2. v3.0.2 FW update

So, before I try this, just a couple of dumb questions:

1. Is it OK to use this RKDevTool v2.69 instead?
I found it here, together with some threatening requirements for pre-built bootloaders etc.:
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...ase-v2-69.html
I assume it is a newer version of the same tool, and it is still compatible with 2.58, but perhaps it is not?

2. If I'm successful with android 8.1, I assume that I don't need that missing FW v3.0.2 because I downloaded v3.1.0 and v3.1.1, so I can update to v3.1.1 directly, it includes everything, not just incremental changes from v3.1.0?

My Mimas and Ares also could be upgraded to 8.1 but I have only one of each of them and more than one Alita, so I feel I should start with Alita. Also, I mostly use Alita lately.

OK, thanks.
I sent them an e-mail.

I guess, even if I don't run any apps requiring 8.1, I still need 8.1 at least to be able to install the newest firmware updates.
