Thanks, I can confirm this is working great, no problem with the latest EU V1.7 ROM in harmony with A2SD - been busy lately with flashing 2 other newer/faster HTC android devices .... (Flashing 10.x working in Hulu, yeah - NOT the vpad7)

Mine has been running fine up to now, but I figured that it's time to re-flash this one just to check things out a bit, in case newbies have questions or aren't sure.

Did a CWM Backup first as always, wiped dalvik (SOP for me whenever flashing something new,) quick boot into Recovery, highlight above zip file & flash. Push small pin to reset & reboot, and, a few minutes later after boot-up - verified that everything is working.

This is for ITE multi-touch hardware screen, HWV107. (BTW, still waiting for Viewsonic to release the ITE kernel zip file on their server so that I can download it .... GRRRRR, stay tuned)

Perhaps you want to edit your post to share how you got the SIM card working so that others can learn. As for Flash Player, I don't believe we can ever get it working on the Vpad7 - CPU & hardware just not good enough, unlike my other toy, the DI2 - Quadrant benchmark score of 1446 ! Regards :)

Perhaps you want to edit your post to share how you got the SIM card working so that others can learn.

I'm not sure how it worked. What I did: Many times the SIM card in and out. Wait a while (search mode Auto Select).

This is for ITE multi-touch hardware screen, HWV107.

How do I find out what type of hardware multi-touch screen I have?

(I did this with apps: Device Info APK)

Thanks

I am having trouble downloading ROM I get this error:

Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to www.multiupload.com

Does anybody else have this problem?

Can I get the ROM from anywhere else?

Cheers
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Core1992:
I can't download it too.

The site multiupload.com is down since a few days.

Can someone reupload the roms?

Thank you!

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
No, the ITE verisons of Vpad7 cannot be overcloced due to kernel issues, Viewsonic support never released the source code for it, despite repeated request ...

Multiupload's site/domain has been seized and shut down by the U.S. - don't expect it to be back up or running again. Here's the link to dropbox for EU V1.7b ITE ROM, full credits for Amalgation for his work, enjoy it.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/EUViewpad7v1.7b-ITE.zip

For those without their own cloud storage, create a dropbox account, it's easy & free - http://db.tt/NxHcQ6m7

original links are broken ... from where I can download? Multiupload not work.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Coach:
I am guessing that the ITE version is an Italian version not a WWE

As the multiupload site has gone does anyone have any of the English versions of this ROM then I could host them.

What about the original op is he still around?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Resident:
It is not an Italian version it is just later version of the pad which referred as ITE hardware older ones non ITE , it has English as well as few more EU languages. But I don`t know if it is going to work with previous versions of the pad.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
OP is around but like most developers for the Vpad7 aren't "active" and limited in what can be done with the hardware and without source codes to the newer ITE = multi-touch screen ("google it" to learn more, pls) - see post #305 above (look up) and further back

This ROM is based off the EU or East European stock/factory firmware released by VS - language files including: Dansk, Deutsch, English (U.K.), Espanol, Francais, Italiano, Nederlands, Polski, Portuges, Romana, Svenska & Greek - plus, Korean, Japanese and Chinese.

As for backward compatibility with earlier non-ITE hardware Vpad7 devices, the answer is NO - because the kernel/codes for the multi-touch screen ("ITE") are different (and no overclocking)

Likewise, if you manage to locate & download one of the earlier non-ITE stock/factory firmware and use the utility to flash it (thus, unrooting it) - it will not work either, resulting in a "soft" brick or failure. Use ITE Rom for ITE Vpad7 and non-ITE Rom for older, non-ITE Vpad7.

To flash this EU verison v1.7b that I've uploaded back to Dropbox recently, you need to have working CWM on your rooted Vpad7 (NOT for Vpad "e", etc. etc.) - CWM v2.5.1.2 is highly recommended. Please read & follow previous discussions and proceed at your own discretion & assume all risk, and, backup ... or else ! Good luck ;)

Been away for a while and just noticed the issues with the download links.. will fix them tonight when I get home. On another note I should be getting some more free time soon as I will be changing jobs so hopefully I can get the next version out soon.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
:) - Great !!! I haven't been spending too much time but still running this ROM as my own leisure "play" time has been split with this, 2 HTC smartphones and spouse's iPad2 acquired during the holiday. Once your link is restored & running, I will take mine offline so that everyone can go directly to "the source" (yours) as intended.

BTW, rom has been very smooth - Play Store (formerly Goggle Market) upgraded nicely along with other Apps, no FC'd or bugs to speak of AFAIK and with A2SD running, plenty of storage & memory/internal space to work with ...

Had no luck, no success with getting the ITE device drivers/kernel source codes, etc. from VS tech support (# of us tried hard) & lately, it seemed that even the previously working links to their factory ROMs are down/offline ... whatever, so "let it be" & work with what we got on hand - and it's good enough to play the latest Angry Birds, watch YouTubes & play videos, etc. :)

Regards !
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] VPAD7:
Just downloaded the rom last night, so far besides having to manually install play store everything is working great.

My favourite so far, the only think i dont like is the dr. who intro, but ist ok thought.

Thank you :D

P.s - Havent tested flash yet.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] vwgtiturbo1:
Thanks for the rom... I currently have everything working but noticed that my apps are not moving to sd.. I partitioned the card to 1024 and 0 cache before flashing this rom. Also downloaded apps2sd to see if that would work for me and nothing still storing them on internal storage... Can someone help?? Thanks
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Did you go back a few pages - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1224825&page=26 - Post #251 and related discussions that other users had ran into with formatting & getting A2SD working properly? This is a long thread - I'm still running this ROM 7+ months later and my ROM of choice for this device - playing video off it at the moment.

What verison of CWM are you using to setup part3 or extension? I know that V4.x and V5.x had been out but I prefer V2.x as it's more reliable - in reformatting the mSD card properly. You can also do a reformat hooked up to a PC/laptop - after saving any & all info on it first, or if you have another Android smartphone device, use it to format/clean it of all old/residual (hidden) files.

Run the A2SD utility (download via Market) and use to once the ROM boot up to check. Good luck & let us know how it turned out.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] vwgtiturbo1:
Thanks for answering..well I'm using cwm 5.. I formatted my sd card with a fat32 partition through my computer. I then formatted it through cwm and then set the partition to 1024 with 0 cache.. I don't use the tablet as it's my girlfriends tab. But after I flashed the rom it seems to be fine. After 3 days of use she told me she had a random reboot.. The first time around I believe it was setcpu that was causing the random reboot.. As far as a2sd I don't know if it is working..
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] haree:
hi

1, do the partition via CWM that should be fine

2. apps to sd will work i have been using this for a long time and it is still my daily use ROM i have 140+MB Free

3. get quick system mobile info pro it will show u the App2 sd details

its free on google play:D

I know not many of us early adopters of this tablet are left, and one by one we will move to other devices either by choice or eventual device failure, do can I suggest putting all the files into public colder on a skydive account or some other stable site incase in 3 years time someone gets a tablet at a yard sale and wants to play etc

Good to hear its working now. Do you experience any promblems with wifi?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
I'm currently running some tests with the official nb0 firmwares i could find online. Up and downgrading works like a charm (once you restore the stock recovery partition using adb shell first.)

These are the firmware's i've found so far:

WARNING ! FLASHING THESE FILES CAN BREAK YOUR DEVICE.

ONLY MINIMAL TESTING HAS BEEN DONE DO FAR!

FM6-316Q-0-1008-A01.rar (90.17 MB) (untested)

FM6-316R-0-0015-A01.rar (92.36 MB) (flashed and rooted)

FM6-3310-0-5029-A02.rar (93.59 MB) (flashed and rooted)

FM6-3540-0-5004-A01.rar (107.65 MB) (untested, A800, not viewpad7 rom)

And here is the latest version of the Windows software to flash these images:

SUTL3_v1.7.9.zip (81.29 MB)

I've only tested flashing and rooting the 316R and 3310 versions, which didnt give me any problems. I'll do more tests on the 316Q and 3540 version later today.

For now, if you're brave, you can flash the 316R version using the SUT L3 tool. (on HWver: 106 only !) and root and flash my rom after that to get it working as it should.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Lanfear28:
Do you mind if I wait for you to put that, and the tweaks ur developing atm, in an update.zip:)
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
I've uploaded the lastest version: EUViewpad7v1.2.zip

Changes:

- Fix empty APN list.

- Battery mod (It's not complete yet, but it will give you an idea of what i'm planning to do.)

If your APN list is still empty after this update, go to Wireless & networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names, open settings and select Reset to default.

I've uploaded a complete v1.2 rom. If I can find them time ill create a small update.zip with just the fixes I've done.

Installing this new version over an older rom of mine shouldn't wipe your apps and personal data, as long as you don't factory reset/ clear cache.

More changes coming soon...

[HELP] Axioo PicoPad QGN (F6 variant) Boot Screen Stuck

Hello All'

I am a newbie for Android.... :D

I'm using axio picopad QGN just for a week... and I found the problem that my pad is stuck in bootscreen :confused:, after I flash the ROM.

And stupidly I'm not do nandroid.md5 backup first...

Any suggestion dear all....Please HEEEEEeeeeeeeellllllppppppppp MEEEEEeeeeee.......;)

Thanks a lot...I hope someone can give me a suggestion

Have nice days......
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
Hi LayZeeDK,

I can only test on HWver: 106 since that's all I have.

You are already running SWVer: 3.16R which is the same as what's i'm running, so I don't think you will have any problems with the first 3 versions (316Q, 316R and 3310.)

The 3540 version has support for the newer ITE hardware (HWver: 107) and I have no idea what it would do to older devices. Anyone who can advise on that ?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:
It's weird, 'cause my screen and soft keys were just replaced for the second time. I thought that they replaced it with ITE hardware, since that is newer. But then the HWVer would be newer than 103, right?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] singsong:
Excellent ROM! Very fluid, responds very quickly and now absolutely no problem with wifi.

The only problem is with the battery indicator that does not refresh.

Does anyone have a similar problem?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Managed to d/l the Wellcom FM6-3540-0-5004-A01.nb0 file, took precautionary to backup my 2.2.1 custom ROM, before using SUTL3 to flash this newest one circulated (3540) - both of which seemed to be based on Froyo 2.2.2 and fairly similar build/specs - BUT, it didn't FLASH successfully (could be a bad d/l ?)

Error message given by SUTL3 is -

Error Code Ox3000f

Task 2 of 3, Download Image fail, Error=tray_catcher_exception Ox300f

Now back on original stock but rooted 2.2.2 ROM although I also saved the working 2.2.1 custom ROM.

In short, if anyone has ITE-based 2.2.2 hardware wanted to try this A800 release, just make sure you have a working backup image/zip file/NAND restore, etc. just in case.

I'm back on my rooted but stocked 2.2.2 ROM which support ITE, saved & restored to device successfully from CWM backup. If you could use it to do development work, let me know via PM or otherwise so that others can benefit as I do not want to link it in public.

SWVer=3.41 FM6-0001 HWVer=107

Baseband PR3.7_125, Kernel Apps_2.6.32.9, Build 1008_3_350

hi

And u did not reply to my PM:confused:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Haree - 1 of the post over at Androidcentral earlier mentioned that there are subtle differences between the Viewsonic and Wellcom A800 pads and that could help explain my problem in using the SUTL3 (via VS) to flash the newest stock ROM from WC. It's likely that the matrix of HWVer, SWVer, Build and OS levels, unless "tweaked" properly will fail at least using the OEM flashing tools.

I'm guessing that since your VPAD7 is branded differently and possibly the reasons why an error code was generated like it did to mine - while flashing 3510, which I know has ITE (details in post #46)

I tried flashing 316Q, 316R and 3310 last month to mine - successfully but NONE of them worked b/c the screen didn't move, couldn't trick it to skip or bypass the activation/android setup screen = ITE hardware. (Same with all but 1 custom rooted screen here, only the Enhanced Froyo non-overclocked version would work and that was based on 2.2.1 OS)

I'm back on 2.2.2 rooted stock ROM, added new "Market" & switched to ADW Launcher, and App2SD from market to free up internal space - probably the best option for anyone else out there reading this sub-forum.

Amalgation - I trust you are busy cracking the *.img with the 2.2.2 stock system.img and root.img needed to try to decode & cook up something for everyone with ITE to enjoy some of the features available to other VPAD hardware, and I will among the first to check it out - hopefully (I managed to restore DW's Angry Bird scores & settings, whew!! with all the flashing)

Thinking out loud, I wonder if by rebuilding the new A800 ROM into CWM image format (instead of the zip/nb0 format) - that it can be flashed into any ITE VPAD7, regardless of FMV, SMV, Build & OS configuration. This would involve flashing it to a compatible/working device first, then Backup to *.img format and then copy to mSD so that it can be restored on a different rooted device - this would be an interesting "experiment .... If it doesn't work, will only take just a few minutes to restore to one's own working ROM.

I agreed, this ITE & firmware matrix is getting confusing & nobody is sure or positive about anything - ah, that's "work in progress"
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Amalgation:
