  1. Check your device’s SKU through the following procedure.
    1. On the tablet, go into Settings » About tablet. Then, check the Build number.

  3. Extract the downloaded zip file once to obtain another zip file.
  4. Now, we need to copy the obtained zip file to the tablet.
    1. If you have a custom recovery like ClockworkMod or TWRP installed on the tablet, copy the zip file obtained in step 3 to the internal SD card.
