The flashing instructions can be found here on official Yarvik website also. But you can find more detailed help if keep reading down:
or downloaded mannualy from here:
BEFORE YOU START:
1.BACKUP IMPORTANT DATA!
Upgrading your Yarvik tablet to Android 4.0 will erase all user settings, user installed applications and user
data from the internal tablet memory. Data on a MicroSD card will be kept.
Always make a backup of important data (e.g. by copying it to a MicroSD card or USB drive).
Yarvik cannot be held responsible for any data loss as result of the use of this Android 4.0 upgrade.
2.CHECK APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
If you are using third party applications, please note that some third party applications are not (yet)
optimized for Android 4.0 and may not be working properly when re installed on Android 4.0, or may not be
installing or working at all. Please consult the developer of third party applications to check whether their
software is Android 4.0 compatible.
3. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE RIGHT UPGRADE FILE!
Every Yarvik Zania 10ic tablet eligible for the Android 4.0 upgrade has its own, very specific Android 4.0
software upgrade file. Please make sure you have downloaded the correct upgrade file for your specific
model, e.g. the “TAB462.img” upgrade file for the Yarvik Zania 10ic.
Software upgrade files meant for other tablet models are not compatible and will damage your tablet!
Subsequently, the use of software upgrade files meant for other tablet models will automatically void your
warranty.
4. CHARGE THE BATTERY
Make sure the battery of your Yarvik GoTab tablet is fully charged prior to performing the Android 4.0
upgrade.

The software upgrade tool necessary for upgrading your Yarvik Zania 10ic tablet to Android 4.0 requires:
- PC or laptop with Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 with administrator rights;

Browse the computer for driver software and point it to the USB Driver folder inside the earlier extracted
YarvikLiveSuit folder and choose this location for Windows to install the driver. Click on Next to continue.
The driver will now be installed on your PC.
In the meantime, keep your Yarvik GoTab tablet connected to the PC!
