Nand Memory Formatting
Internal memory can be formatted from settings ▶
SD Card & A5 storage ▶ Unmount internal memory
▶ Format internal memory

from the device to keep the device in good working
order. Be sure to back up all the data on the device
since all the les are to be deleted after formatting.

connection to begin media scanning. During media
scanning the device response can slow down, and
depending on the types & capacities of the data it
can maximally take dozens of minutes.

the APK folder of A5. After disconnecting the USB

not and touch ‘Install’.
