AC Question
Reinstalling Android OS
On an Android device, I realize there are many, how does one reinstall the OS. I am more familiar with iOS devices. With these devices you can either plug it into iTunes, or put the device in DFU mode, and use iTunes.
It seems that flashing on an Android device is not readily available. Why is this so? I do realize there are heavy carrier modifications that mean different OS packages, among Manufacturer mods.
Also the biggest question is why "flashing" on an android device voids the warranty. This does not happen on a PC or a Mac. Heck even Apple's tightly controlled "walled garden" lets you reinstall the OS.
Help though would be great. A friend who is not computer literate at all basically wiped everything off the his tablet. Essentially as if one wiped the SSD in their laptop OS and all.
