VIEWPAD 10e (uk)

1) Do a full manufacturer reset (you will lose all installed apps, (if you need them run backup) but the external card will be ok don’t worry about, leave it in (setting> privacy setting> factory data reset> careful : leave the erase sd card un-tick and press <full reset>

2) When restart put the viewpad in usb debugging and stay awake mode (setting>applications>development>usb debugging tick and stay awake tick ), also increase the screen timeout to 30 min.( setting>display>screen timeout>30 sec)

[Certain settings are only to make visible things]

3) Meanwhile install htc android sync software on your PC (download link above) NOTE: after few min. through the installation the software will ask if you want to install HTC Sync ... click NO and then click finish.

4) Restart viewpad with external power connected But do not unlock the screen or get into any programs, wait one min. and then connect it to computer ( you will need usb to usb micro cable) and u ll see the PC installing all drivers for a good couple of min. and the screen of the viewpad will stay light up.

5) Download adb ( link above superclick ... contains adb which does not need installation .... when unzipped is ready to run ...... just remenber where you unzip it .)

6) Run cmd and go into adb directory:

"adbHDDdriverletter:" <enter> ( the letter of the HDD driver partition where the adb directory is followed by a column)

"cd adb" <enter>, directory where u unzipped adb

"adb root" <enter>

"adb shell" <enter>

"cd /bin" <enter> be careful to the space between cd and the slash

"ls -l --color=never su" <enter> just copy past eh? (just to clarify it is LS <space>-L<space> -- ....becarufull to spaces.)

"rm ./su" <enter> careful again to the space before the dot

7) run superclick 2.3.3 on your PC, press root

8) when finished (its very fast) close superclick and restart viewpad and redo from point 6 but this time un can unlock the pad screen so you can drag down the top bar and see what’s happening (always leave external power supply on), ALSO AFTER UNLOCKING THE SCREEN I CHOOSED THE STANDARD VIEWING NOT THE VIEWSCENE3D !!!

When done then goto point 9)

9) on superclick press root shell (careful it will take much longer then root (in the region of a minute, anyway) so better you watch the right hand side panel for when it say “/data/local/tmp/outputEND:79774”

10) Then press on the viewpad <turn on usb storage> (you will see it if the top bar's lowed down, which you should have it from previous steps anyway)

11) on the external sd card rename directory ".android_secure" i changed mine to: "TODELETE.android_secure" (i have done this because my market got stuck before, but it is not needed, if market get stuck just restart the pad)

12) come out from usb storage first using "removing hardware" on your pc and then from the tablet BUT

if the PC locks the usb mass storage (u cannot remove hardware) then make your PC at sleep and then remove usb cable

13) try if ur viewpad is really rooted running for example titanium backup or root explorer

WIFI TETHERING

tethering the pad to connect to ADHOC WIFI (NO TETHERING NEEDED really) from mobile phone running WM6.1 using WMWifiRouter.cab (u have to pay few quids):

using root explorer (IS A MUST) Ver.2.19 at least, modify those FILES:

1)

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf ( then over it <long click><open as><text editor>write the code below above the existing one, then copy the SSID and WAP key from the old code and put it in the second section "network { ssid...... home ssid, then delete the old codes, then <long click><select all><long click> <copy><save and exit>, u will see that root explorer saves the original file as ".bak" and new version as ".conf"

2)( similar to above)

/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (<long click><open as><text editor><long click> <select all> <long click> <PASTE><save and exit>

codes to put in: (DO NOT PUT THE PART AFTER THE // BECoUSE its ONLY TO SEPARATE THE EXPLANATIONS)

----------------------------

ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wifi //(interface loc.)

//eapol_version=2 not needed

update_config=1 //(how fast wifi refresh)

ap_scan=2	//(ad hoc connection)

network={

ssid="your adHOC SSID"

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE	//(because it is not a WPA encryption)

wep_key0=1234567890	//(MY PHONE HAS THIS WEP KEY change for yours)

priority=1	//(first to connect)

mode=1

}

network={

ssid="your home SSID"	//( this is your normal ssid connection

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK	//(because my home has WPA encryption)

psk="very secret passphrase"	//(wap key)

priority=2	// (SECOND to connect)

mode=1

}

network={

ssid="your EXTRA MORE SSID" //( other ssid)

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

psk="very secret passphrase"

priority=3	//(third to connect)

mode=1

}

// you can add as many section " network={...} " u need just increase +1 priority

MARKET VERSION works without rooting but must be version 4.3.3

... let me know how it goes,
