Hello everyone,

first of all, I am new on this Android world, so, any basic question I post, I ask for understanding in advance.

Trying to root my Viewpad 7 (Froyo 2.2), I come across to GingerBreak, I run it and it sucessfully root but it killed my Wifi (that's all connectivity I used, I have no mobile data plan)

as I wanted also to try new rooms, and flash a new one seems to be a only solution for the wifi problem (I have try factory settings without success). I come across Rom manager,

I download and install ROM_Manager_Premium_v4.3.2.3.apk from SD

and download CleanViewpad7_signed_v1.0.zip to my sd card

If I try to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM manager, i get:

"Error while downloading from the server. Please make sure you have a stable internet conection ..." but that's no possible as I have no WIFI in my viewPad7 after root!

If I try to Install ROM from SD card (from Rom manager), the device restore in "Recovery mode" of "Andoid system recovery <3e>"; and it brakes with message "E:signature verification failed".

I have donwload it from several servers (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1168562), and all give the same error mesaage

I try to search for manual mode to install clockwork (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755379) but I can not find a way to go.

"wipe data/factory reset" inicializate the device, but it doesn't help with the wifi. it keet saying scaning->disconected->scanning->disconected ... (and of course, my wifi conection is set to remember with the password memorized)

In the cofig menu, i can see:

baseband: PR3.7_128

Kernel Apps_2.6.32.9

Build 4027_3_16R

In the FTM mode:

SWver=3.16R

Model:FM6-0001

HWVer:106

what can I do?, I just have a 7inch no apps-no connection beautifull "thing"

More: I have try two other Rooms:

EUViewpadV1.4.zip

Viewpad7 Stock EU 2.2 +rooted+CWM.zip

nothing works, signature verification failed
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Okay, you willl be fine - just need to flash & restore it first to factory/stock ROM first, then root it and go from there - here are the steps that I would suggest:

First, save anything important on your mSD card if you need to, perhaps to a USB drive and/or computer's hard drive.

Next, use this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1260463 to download - for the stock ROMs from Viewsonic.

The newest one is for newer ITE hardware VPAD7 (and, I believe yours is NOT if you could get CleanViewpad v1.0 to boot up & activate the screen - and a number of users are having trouble with wifi ....) To override that signature verification error message that you get, look into CWM (I'm using v3.0.2.8) under Apply update from .zip file on SD card, and there's a "toggle signature verification" switch - change it and trying applying the zip file again to flash - it should work, as I recall. Before that, make sure you wipe system/cache/dalvik & reset data, etc. for a clean(er) new installation.

FM6-316Q-*.nb0 should work with earlier, non-ITE Vpad7 and so should FM6-3310-*.nb0, whereas the FM6-3350-*.nb0 should be for newer ITE devices with either HWver 107 and/or (some) HWver 106.

To flash it, you CANNOT use CWM but must download the SUTL3 (v1.7.9 worked for me) - read & following the onscreen warnings/directions and it should be finished in less than 10 minutes (have the Vpad7 fully charged first & do NOT need to have the mSD card installed)

When it's finished, reinstall the mSD card, take a deep breath & reboot/restart, and you should be up & running with the stock ROM in a few minutes - if so, check your wifi connectivity first before going any further. Start with 316Q ROM first and if it's good, you might want to move up to 3310 next (it's newer) & recheck wifi connectivity. STOP then, as yours is non-ITE and the 3350 will NOT work. You can then flash CWM and/or root it - with SOC or GB methods, etc. etc. which you're familiar with.

I had no problems with wifi connectivity and/or 3G data (prepaid GSM 3G coverage) running the Froyo Enhanced custom ROM (non-OC version since I have ITE hardware) OS 2.2 - However, I'm running stock ROM OS 2.2.2 rooted and wifi is perfect for me. (I'm written up a quck tip/guide also - in case you didn't come across it while searching for answers) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264647

Lastly, TJ_Style's FM6 ROM w overclocked kernel should work for you as well, it's OS 2.2 but I patched the boot.img with my saved newer 2.2.2 ITE kernel and got it working too, and, no issues with wifi access at all.

In short, check & change your Signature Verification options under CWM and try again, and, if not - restore by reflashing with SUTL3 a factory *.nb0 file, then - proceed from there.

Good luck, have a bit of patience - it's both fun & exciting, challenging & disappointment often followed by the joy of luck & success. Let us know how it go & write down any error message(s) so we can help figure it out together - plenty of "newbies" been around but still stranded at times.

Thanks, SUTL3_v1.7.9 and FM6-3310-0-5029-A02.nb0 works like a charm, easy and bring back my ViewPad7 to work,

for anybodies info, that change my ViewPad to:

Android version : 2.2.2 (from 2.2)

Baseband version PR3.7_128 (same)

Kernel Version Apps_2.6.32.9 (same)

Build Number 5029_3_310 (from 4027_3_16R)

I got encouraged, and I try FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0, that gives me:

Android version : 2.2.2 (from 2.2)

Baseband version PR3.7_128 (same)

Kernel Version Apps_2.6.32.9 (same)

Build Number 1008_3_350 (from 4027_3_16R)

Swype included !! (seems a little odd and disordered the configuration process, so skip it)

what means ITI / non-ITI ?

languajes: both nb0 are English/Spanish/French only

now I will start with rooting and so, I will let you know

once more, many thanks.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
:) Wonderful, we are all glad to know that you had success. Is your wifi working once again with either stock unrooted ROM?

Once rooted & CWM reinstalled, do a backup first to save those *.img files, etc. so that you can easily restore/go back later on if necessary.

As I said, check out Enhanced Froyo and TJ_Style's FM6 custom ROMs, both of them should work nicely for you - including wifi (I believe, as least on mine - both solid signals in both G and N routers, WEP & WPA-2 modes. (Also, try open or unsecured mode)

Happy flashing .... :D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] InTheater:
YES !!, wifi is working back to normal. At least sometimes (I have need to re-flash few time already, it has stoped working few times more, and not becouse of rooting, just installing apps from market)

I have also encoutered the next problem : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XuccAxXY_8

and that shouldn't be normal behaviour?, isn't it ?

try with diferent room or return to viewsonic ?

by the way, what ITE means ?

thanks once more
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
ITE refers to Panjit Touchscreen (Multi-Touch Resistive) used on newer Vpad7 built & shippped vs. older hardwares used on earlier models.

On that subject, I've looked at a # of youtube video reviews & posting about the device's orientation/rotation issues, and it seemed to me that it prefer to be in a landscape mode. But, there are times where we wanted to have a choice, turn it 90 degree for a vertical or straight up - not so sure it's 99% hardware problem - rather, problem caused by a mix of Android codes & Apps used. Some were defective but that's a production & quality control issue, so, anyway.

I'm not sure after seeing at your YT video what the problem is, please describe & I will have another look with my thoughts on it.

Does it happen with the stock/factory ROM or only with the ROM being runned now - I would flash a different ROM to compare the results.

Sending it back to Viewsonic is an option but you will be without its use for 2 to 4 weeks (usual timeframe, could be longer) & deal with packing, insuring, shipping & waiting - but, if it's "bad" - get authorization & exchange it or repaired.

Regards !
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] InTheater:
Bad news, as later day, wifi come alive, it went down sometimes, and as I was trying application I flash the three diferent factory rooms few times. What I didn't notice is that the wifo was disconecting more and more often: now it does connect at all.

As said, I have try the three diferent ROM in viewsonic, and also an app called FixMyWifi, nothing helps, wife is all the time "Connecting..."->"Disconected"->"Searching"->and so on

about the strange behiviour of the screen, the matter is that as soon as using two fingers, the right one, can not be in lower position than the left one. So forgot about plenty of games, drawinf with two fingers, dificulto for rotating maps (when the rotation of finger goes beyond 90 degres)

And one of the reasons I bought it is my little boy, explain that to a children of four years..., in deed he found it as "that does work well, the tank does not follow my fingers"

so, as a multitouch is basically pointless if you have to care your right finger does not go bellow your left one ...

Anything to do with the Wifi ?

rooting may help in some way?, and some terminal comands?

I am willing to try, I am just in the point before return it as faulty device.

Many thanks for all the help given.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] InTheater:
Thanks a lot, that I have done, and ask ViewSonic for replacement, I hope they return me one fully working (by the way, sorry for so late response, I have been for 2 weeks out)

yes, it seems that the viewsonc doen't have so good hardware after all ...

about the wifi issue, I have try all the steps you mention before, nothing helps with my router (deliver by the telephone company). The only thing that works, sometimes, s turning off the router for several seconds, then it connect again. As absurd it sounds, it looks like the viewpad doesn't disconnect from the router even as turned off, so the router doesn't allow to negociated again a conection (and it keeps it in connected device while the viewpad is reseting or turned off)

I have try connecting a Linksys Wi-fi and connecting trought it : WORKS GREAT.

Trying in different locations, some of them same problem as the router, others works perfectly.

Solved for home with second wifi-point, I see myself one day asking Starbuchs guy to reset their router... :p

so, waiting for Viewsonic to replace my viewpad, I will inform as I have a new one in hands.

thanks a lot !! ;)

A few month ago, I'm flash my x1 with custom rom....

it's working good... now I want to flash back to with original rom but not success, phone only show 0%. I tried many times, but the results remain the same. what should i do... plz help me.....
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemke:
Are you flashing from PC ? If so, this is a common error, follow this advice:

" if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to tricolour screen, then try a different USB port, also do not use USB hub, you can also try rebooting your PC, and can try using another PC. read the thread for even more tips that I don't remember now. also you can try unticking advanced network functionality in start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet."

For me it was ok only after I installed active sync on another computer and flashed X1 from there!

I'm just curious? I only have apple to compare with and they were fantastic, sent my phone in Monday, I had a new one Wednesday, now thats what I call service. I think Apple just replace rather than fix.

How does it work with Samsung? I have heard complaints about how long it takes HTC. My WiFi is having issues but if it gonna take forever to get fixed I would just live with it.

Mine took exactly two weeks. One of those weeks included a bank holiday.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
The time it taakes to repair depends on several factors like :

1. what is the problem.

2. where they have to send it, is there a local repair shop or do they have to send it out of town.

3. Do they send it right away or wait till they have a few phones to send.

Technically they are suppose to send it right away to be repair but it does not always happen that way.

I believe repair time should be approximately 3 to 4 days.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crissynak:
SO I did everything in each step and waited to do the kernel update till I knew it was all working. Here is what happened...

I re-rooted with the CWM 3.2.0.1 and MN 4.5.18 and after I rebooted after that I tried the Market and did not work just closed immediately after opening.

So then went back in and did the MN 4.6.16a rebooted then ran fix permissions and everything worked perfect for 1 day.

The next day I went get an app that I wanted to add to my NC and low and behold closed on me again. So to make sure I checked my gmail and google stuff and they all seemed to work.

So then I rerooted again with just the MN 4.5.18 and this time the market opens fine with the Market Visibility issue.

So I decided to add the updated 1.2 froyo even though I didn't have the 4.6.16 nooter. And works fine.

So I was reading that there may be a fix for the visibility problem so I tried one that was on one of the forums for NC and it said that before reboot the market should say there was an error and to reboot so I rebooted and tried the market again and it just says error now when I try to go into the market.

Do I need to go in and reroot again to get the market back correctly?

Is there another Fix that I can try for the market issue?

Thanks!

I can't post this on the development forum so i'll ask this here.

I installed ARHD XE 3.5.2 Yesterday and everything is fine till this problem. I just play a video clip that i downloaded from youtube using freedi downloader. The video resolution is 360p so it wasn't full screen. I toggled full screen then the video colors became inverted. Change it to original size fixed the colors.

Videos that fit hd and show on full screen without need to set fullscreen are working fine with their regular colors.

Any solution ? Or this is a bug that happend to everyone ?

If someone can post this on ARHD XE thread i'll appreciate this.

Hi,

i need to understant diffent technique to update rom and kind of rom (stock)

i have a Videotron Canada XT720 ECLAIR 2.1 update 1, stock (see picture)

Now, i already try some rom using "Open Recovery Nandroid Restore" with file boot, system IMG files.

I will like to try other rom like:

[ROM][11.09.01] CyanogenMod 6.3.0 - RC3 (2.2.1)

But some of these rom need to use "Open Recovery UPDATE" or "RSD Lite" methode....

i dont want to used RSD Lite and flash another rom in my phone. Because i dosent have the sbf file from my original rom if i want to return stock rom.

so can i use open recovery update methode for CM6 and CM7 rom over my Stock Rom.

Thanks.
[Milestone XT720 General] athlon866:
If you lost your original stock, don't worry about it. Simply use other stocks. I am with WIND mobile, and I've been using Singapore sbf.

For your problem, please search "Tutorial - Installing Dexter's Froyo on Milestone XT720" on YouTube, as I cannot post links as a new user.

Of course, you need to download all necessary files, which will be discussed in the video.
[Milestone XT720 General] Peterbob9:
i already try this rom and some other rom also.

But my question is:

Can i update to this Rom without installing another sbf rom.

in other word, can i update to these rom on my stock eclair 2.2.1 Videotron Rom or i need to switch to singapoor rom before update to these rom?

PS: I dont want to load other sbf rom for warranty purpose.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Yes you can but you will void your warranty if you do anything but what you got when you purchased the phone. My suggestion to find your SBF file (search for it) and then you always have a back up. When you flash a ROM you have to be rooted to do so, so bam! Void. Let's say that you flash something and then your power button breaks off. All you have to do is make a nandroid backup of your ROM you are on now, flash the correct SBF to return to stock, take your phone back (be sure to keep SD Card bc your backup wil be on there). They fix it, you re-root and restore your back up and you are right back where you were before the bunk. I have done this several times in the beginning before I found that I could fix almost all my own problems.

SBF = RSDlite

Custom ROMs = Open Recovery
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Ignore the people that say to flash the Singapore ROM (or any other 2.1 ROM).

The only distinction that matters is 2.1-update1 or korean 2.2.1

Requires 2.1-update1 sbf:

[ROM][11.09.01] CyanogenMod 6.3.0 - RC3 (2.2.1)

[2011.09.10] Bravo2.2 v1.5 - Another XT720 ROM from China

Currently requires Korean 2.2.1 sbf:

[ROM][11.09.14] CM7,iceandfire,HO!NO!,MIUI,CronosX on Motoroi(XT720)

(Ported CM7,iceandfire,HO!NO! and MIUI on Korean Motoroi(XT720))

You may end up sbf-ing anyway if you can't boot and you also can't openrecovery. But you can probably get away with sbf-flashing the system partition only (leaving the rest untouched)
[Milestone XT720 General] Peterbob9:
Thanks,

About SBF Files, i can't find the exact sbf files for my phone: (see picture in my first message)

My stock ROM :STR_U2_05.1F.1

Compatible SBF: US BrightPoint STR_U2_04.1E.1

i can only find compatible sbf. That why i avoid to flash the complete rom with other.

i doesnt know that i possible to flash only the system partition.

About warranty, can you confirm that even i able to restore a backup image from nandroid open recovery than i unroot the phone, the phone will still be out of warranty?

Also what is Milestone A853, is this what i have?
[Milestone XT720 General] mchlbenner:
Hi

You sbf flash back to stock then warrenty then is good.

You can google the sbf file.

Cm6 you can update though open recovery.

Cm6 is stable.

Cm7 .

You must sbf flash korean 2.2.1 sbf update and if you flash this you may have do a reset to get it to boot up.
[Milestone XT720 General] Peterbob9:
So it will never be warranty because i can't find the exact SBF Rom Version that i have when i buy this phone.

i see about rom that sensor is not compatible with our phone XT720.

Is this the case with this rom:

Currently requires Korean 2.2.1 sbf:
