Download Odin 3.09- Odin 3.10.6 - Samsung odin download ROM flashing tool


Not that it matters really as Mick doesn`t want to try it, and nor would I if it wasn`t mine.
Of course- I cannot be 100% sure.
But even your link says Samsung in it

So. I stopped writing this reply to research a little and yes, some have got ODIN to work with other devices. With a lot of expert tweaking(way beyond my capabilities) it appears that this is possible. But there you have it. These android developers... They have no interest in such tablets as this Giani. So very likely that ODIN is not an option.
ODIN is not the usual flashing method I am used to. It requires that you flash .bin files and such. Headache. But nice that samsung leave bootloader unlocked so you can do so!

Chinese manufactures have their own tool. I have used it before and finding the firmware for specific tablets(because there is countless combinations) is a total nightmare, however it is very similar to ODIN, in that you enter fastboot and flash the firmware with the tool.

For me it was Lesson learned. Stay away from crap cheap tablets
