Instructions how to update Ainol Novo 7 tablet to Android Ice-cream Sandwich
Step 1: Put the the Android 4.0.1 (Ice-cream Sandwich) update file into the root directory of your SD card. Make sure that the file is named ‘update.zip’ and your SD card has at least 250MB or space. Insert your SD card into your Ainol Novo 7 tablet.
Step 2: Press and hold the power button.
Step 3: Press and hold the ‘+’ button while still holding the power button down. Keep holding both until the Android logo and Android robot appears.
Step 4: If you release the buttons and wait for at least 5 seconds your tablet to enter the automatic update mode. Updating should take around 5 minutes and the tablet will reboot when finished.
Alternatively if you press a button your Novo 7 tablet will enter manual update mode. In this case choose the ‘update.zip’ file and let the update take its course.

I had the same thing happening to me. Make sure when you rename the file it is ONLY named update, do not put the zip in the rename. The zip extension takes care of that. Once gain the rename is update. It works fine after that. Let me know if this helps
