Extract the firmware zip in specific folder.
Now open the folder and find an XML file with the name flashfile (as shown).
Open it with Wordpad and remove the line <step operation=”flash” partition=”partition” filename=”gpt.bin” MD5=”0169f49d8eb8535682a18e11f6e700dc”/>
Do the same with the <step operation=”getvar” var=”max-download-size”/> file.
Save the document and now start flashing the firmware file.
