How to flash a Xtrend ET-9000
It is pretty easy to flash your ET-9000.
Here is how you to install an image with a simple USB memory stick on the Clarke Tech ET-9000
Remember to backup any settings and other personal settings if you want to save those from a previous image.
- Download an USB image for your ET-9000 on your computer

(you should now have these files inside the et9000 folder)
1) boot.bin
2) kernel.bin
3) rootfs.bin
4) imageversion - Remove the USB memory stick from you computer
(It is recommended to do it by using the safely Remove Hardware notification area icon (besides the clock right corner), and click on the Eject drive for the drive letter of your USB stick. Wait for Safe to remove hardware message) - Power off the ET-9000
- Insert memory stick into front USB slot on the ET-9000
- Power on your ET-9000 and wait for image found in the display of the ET-9000
