Follow the steps outlined below \u2013 they are similar to the steps prior but with some slight modifications, which we&#8217;ll cover now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of installing the GammaOS custom firmware, download the stock firmware provided by Anbernic. We provide a link to all the stock firmware provided by Anbernic for the RG ARC-D, along with an alternative link directly to the official RG ARC-D&#8217;s firmware page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Stock Firmware<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Links<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Android OS<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/droidbox.sharepoint.com\/:u:\/s\/Purchasing\/ES76eEEFlKVLjY0do5AK3R8B1P1TpZGea1837QLnMAmg7w?e=mpQcRc\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droidbox.sharepoint.com\/:u:\/s\/Purchasing\/ES76eEEFlKVLjY0do5AK3R8B1P1TpZGea1837QLnMAmg7w?e=mpQcRc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/win.anbernic.com\/download\/289.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/win.anbernic.com\/download\/289.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Alternative Link<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Linux OS<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/droidbox.sharepoint.com\/:u:\/s\/Purchasing\/EbwP9KxMSsRFlop3HpabKA8BjUdf54nkEjq-atoDI98UQw?e=72toMv\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/droidbox.sharepoint.com\/:u:\/s\/Purchasing\/EbwP9KxMSsRFlop3HpabKA8BjUdf54nkEjq-atoDI98UQw?e=72toMv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/win.anbernic.com\/download\/289.html\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/win.anbernic.com\/download\/289.html\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Alternative Link<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The stock firmware from Anbernic also includes a disk image file, so you can follow the same process as before in the <strong>Create Firmware Upgrade Tool<\/strong> section.

Stock Android Firmware provided by Anbernic<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>To initiate the firmware update, make sure your device is completely <strong>powered off<\/strong> (not in sleep or standby mode). Insert the MicroSD card containing the Android firmware into the <strong>TF1\/INT<\/strong> slot. Then, press and hold the <strong>Volume+<\/strong> button and then <strong>Power on <\/strong>the device. Keep holding the <strong>Volume+<\/strong> button until the Anbernic logo appears. After some time, the firmware upgrade screen will appear, and the device will automatically start overwriting the current firmware with the new Android Firmware. This process can take a while, so be patient and avoid any interruptions. Once complete, follow the onscreen instructions as before to finalize the setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Anbernic RG ARC-D should now be successfully running either GammaOS or back to the stock firmware.
