I'm looking for firmware version 1.0 image.zip. After the update, the touch is totally f****** up. The touch is out of sync. Can anyone give me this version? I can give you a dropbox upload folder if needed.

sk8tingusmc: I'll take you up on the .zip or nandroid, not sure if you can take a nandroid to a different device, but anything would be better than my current situation (stuck in a bootloop, 64gb sdxc with my nandroid got corrupt when trying to use it in my xperia play :S)

I can still access adb to reboot into recovery and such, but need either fastboot images or a nandroid or an update.zip that'll write everything needed... *cries* All I wanted to do was eek out a little more performance so that there wasn't a delay from the touchscreen input in android and skipping in windows...

Edit: Nevermind, seems that my ingenious idea to wipe the dalvik, cache and factory reset and try rebooting screwed me over, now I can't even reach recovery or get a response from adb while it's @ the boot animation anymore... *sigh* here's hoping the extended warranty covers this or repairs are cheap :S

Stock 1.1 OTA Update

Hi,

I have unfortunately updated to 1.1 before trying to root the device, and I have yet to get any of the rooting methods to work with it. I do have some information which may be of some use to others playing with the VSD220.

I copied the "SystemUpdateSign" application to my computer, extracted it and used the strings tool on the binaries. It turns out the update application first checks the following URL to see if an update is available:

[viewsonic website]/VSD220/update/vscversion.txt

The version text file contains a simple string like IMM76D.UI23EC62_VSC

The update package itself is available at:

[viewsonic website]/VSD220/update/ota_package.zip

The only other string referring to an update I could find was "mv /oem/update.tar.bz2 /cache/", I'm not really sure how that relates to the rest. There's also this string "--update_package=" which appears to be used as part of the construction of a command line string to invoke an external update tool.

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 PM ----------

I finally managed to root my device by using "fastboot boot recovery.img" like others reported.

Aside from rooting the device, have others tried hacking the device further, like creating custom ROMs? This would probably be too much effort, but imagine if ubuntu could be installed on this device, it'd be so amazing.

VSD220 Root

Hi everybody!

I'm newbie on Android and I'm working in digital signage (previously I was working with Windows), I have a client request to modify the initial screen and animation (really horrible!) on 2 VSD220. As far I know I need to root the devices to modify this.

I was reading the post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38438216#post38438216

I think that this guide is very useful and clear for most of the people here, but I need more explanation in some items, like terminal, CWM, etc. remember I'm newbie!!

I appreciate some help :fingers-crossed:

Thanks!!

PS: One VSD220 was upgraded to 1.1

Please let me know in a more "newbie way" how to root the VSD220 with 1.1.

Doing this you will be in my list of heroes! :) (at the same level of Batman!) :laugh:

[General Questions and Answers] gattytto:
I'm kinda in the same situation but with no boot animation, just black screen bootloop and then shutdown, It just happened when I removed the micro-sd card while doing a factory reset.. so moving the cable produced the device to shut down while factory resetting.. now I'm stock at bootloop.. any hints?-
[General Questions and Answers] TJ_Hooka:
Best I can suggest to you is try and adb into it, I managed to use adb to recover my vsd220 when it went black screen on me... if you can get a rom on the microsd and access to adb you'll be fine. Have you tried rebooting with the removed sd removed or inserted during boot?
[General Questions and Answers] gattytto:
yes I have tried and no adb at all, even no pelicans boot logo.. nothing :(
[General Questions and Answers] caldwelljt:
So I am really aggravated. I have spent a few weeks off and on trying to get mine back after the 1.1 update pooched it last year. I can't get mine to boot android and as such none of the touch screen or USB pass through works.

After a lot (and i mean a LOT) of toying i finally managed to get CWM recovery loaded, and thinking I could get it to reset i oped to wipe all data. Now I can't even get in via ADB. My guess is, in my stupidity, I forgot that USB debugging would no longer be enabled, and since I can't see anything I can't get in via ADB or anything at all...

So, given that I can't access it via adb nor hit any button combination, is there anything else I can do? I have tried to research booting off the sd card, but I haven't found anything useful on that method. I don't know or can think of a method to force USB debugging back on without being able to see anything, so my only/best guess is that some version of android is loading and i'm getting no visuals... i might (MIGHT) be able to plug in a USB mouse but who knows if i could figure out how to navigate without seeing (it would be hard enough if touch would get through without seeing).

That aside, I really need some kind of ROM to load on here and can't find ANY roms stock or otherwise online anywhere (no one has uploaded even a basic nandroid backup), so there is a chance that even if i hadn't pooched the USB debugging I couldn't have fixed it anyways.... anyone got ideas or should i just send it back to viewsonic?

[HTC One X+] i00:
Just wondering if anyone could port HTC's PDF that is on most of their other new phones and HTC Watch.

I tried putting the watch apk from my One XL into the system/app folder, but when clicking on a movie to get the details it would crash.

And had even less luck with HTC PDF viewer... it just FC as soon as it opens.

As for people who say that "you could just download the adobe one", well I find the ability to print the pdf from the phone essential, and this isn't available in the adobe one.

Thanks,

[General Questions and Answers] yogi2010:
i hope no one minds a question about a netbook here. i tried to upgrade the RAM in it, Toshiba sent me what is supposed to be a compatible upgrade module, but it doesn't work. the upgrade not working actually seems to possibly be a known issue, so Toshiba is processing a refund.. no problem.

the problem is that now the netbook won't even boot up at all with the original RAM module. i had even swapped back and forth twice, and each time the original module would work fine. i got curious after doing some more reading and tried the new one a third time, to no avail, and NOW the netbook is not booting up at all with the original module. the symptoms are now the same with both modules: some LED lights come on, the fan comes on, but the screen remains completely black.

i don't think i damaged anything, but i guess it's possible. i was careful each time installing the modules. Toshiba might send me a replacement of the original RAM chip that came with the Netbook, so i am hoping that will work. the machine is a Toshiba NB305 N440BL, by the way. just posting here basically in desperation, in case anyone has experience or advice. thanks
[General Questions and Answers] texasranger770:
The symptoms that you mention here indeed relates to a RAM failure. Did you disconnect the power adapter before swapping the memory module? Since otherwise would result in a short circuit that will damage both the ram and even the motherboard.

Also did you completely insert the ram module into the ram slot, until it locks into place and you here a click sound?

But since you have mentioned about the LED lights coming on, Fan coming on and the screen remaining completely black it is obvious that your motherboard is fine. :)

Also when handling ram modules or any other sensitive electronic parts such as motherboard or graphics card, you should ensure that you have discharged yourself by standing on the ground with bare foots or using anti static wrist band. This is why they come in special anti static protective covers. ESD (Electro Static Discharge) from your body can damage these ESD sensitive devices.:eek:

Moreover, the more you swap the ram modules, the more they are to prone to get damaged.;)

There is a great chance that the original ram module is damaged. Better not try to make it work. Its much better to wait till you get the original replacement from Toshiba.:D
[General Questions and Answers] yogi2010:
Thank you very much for the response, i really appreciate it :) i am also happy to hear that my motherboard is probably fine.

I disconnected the power source each time i replaced the module, and even the battery as well. And the modules are sitting in the holder as well as they can, and have snapped into place, so to speak. However, i was not too aware of the potential for damage due to my body's own charge. And yeah, i did swap and handle the modules quite a few times!

I feel fairly hopeful now that the original RAM chip simply went bad. I am about to call and make sure that a replacement is being sent asap. Will report back when it arrives and i, carefully, install it. Cheers

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chipsa964:
The new 4.2 camera has the sphere feature, which we don't have in the stock camera. In the 4.2 camera, regular picture taking, panoramic, and sphere work, but it seems like most pictures taken with either auto flash or flash on cause the camera app to lock up and FC.

Hey Guys, For those that have problems with FCs. This is what I found out about 4.2 Camera FC when using flash. There's a trick to it. after you open the camera, just touch the screen where you want to focus, and as soon as the flash comes on, you need to shoot right away (don't wait til the flash goes off or the focus ring to disappear, just shoot). Works for me 100 times out of 100. Try it and let me know.
