[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
So the only way to apply the update is to restore the factory recovery, flash update, and then basically re-do all the steps for root and cwm, correct? I have been dismissing the update but it's getting annoying.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swiss420:
I got the Nandroid Backups from the previous release. But once you got it on you can upgrade to the newest Acer Release and root it. I will send you a PM. Anyone else needing it please PM me so I can send you to instructions. You Need CWM to restore my Nandroid Backups. Two People besides me have tested them so far so they should work fine.

Edit: Just noticed that cgigate was one of them. lol

Dead link...

I know it has been a while since this was posted but is there any chance you could re-upload the recovery image? The rapidshare link is dead and thanks to Woot I just picked up a VSD220 refurb and am reading through what posts are available so I can root and hopefully overclock it a bit. The version info on my unit is as follows:

Kernel version

3.0.21-0003-OMAP-Android+

UI2xEDx2@devel #1

SMP PREEMPT Mon May 6 18:41:52 CST 2013

Scaler version

0.39 en_US

Touch driver version

1.1.0329.1

Build number

IMM76D.UI23ED12_VSC

The system update function comes back showing that I'm running 1.3 with no new updates available.

I downloaded the recovery image in the original post on how to root and also downloaded the ota_package.zip file from Viewsonic's server. The zip file contains a recovery image as well but when I check the hashes of the two files they don't match. I'm guessing that's because the one posted here is for either 1.0 or 1.1 and the one from the viewsonic zip file is 1.3? Either way, the date string you posted is a slightly later build time from what my unit shows and I'm curious if that means anything?

Any advice on overclocking it? Any other updates you'd suggest?

Hi All

I'm now part of the 21.5" club :)

Got my Acer DA220 last week, set it up and even used it as a touch-screen monitor with windows 8.1 (HDMI).

Everything was great until I plugged it in and tried to turn it on today and all I get now is a black screen and a message "waiting".

Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it please?

Unclear on the Concept

Could someone please explain this archive from Viewsonic's site? The PDF is fine for step-by-step instructions but vague on intended ends.

In other words is this an entire ROM, which will wipe my device and require i start all over, or is it just root? And is it necessary to run these batch files if i already have the SDK installed and fastboot and ADB and all that?

TIA

Does anyone have either a nandroid backup or the download that was available at "http://www.viewsoniceurope.com/uk/support/downloads/drivers/?prod_name=vsd220" ?

I have a crippled VSD220 i'd like to flash to fix, but I can't seem to find a full ROM anywhere (any version would work, i think).

Right now it works as a monitor w/o the touch features, it will not boot into android. I can access it via ADB, however when i set it into adb reboot recovery, windows isn't recognizing it as a flashboot device, so i'm having difficulty getting the CWM or anything else working.

Also, if you know how to reset it to factory from ADB or have any other creative solutions, i'd love to hear them. Right now I just want it back to (as close to) original as possible. If I can get that far, then I may try to root it again (it was rooted on 1.0 and did a system update to 1.1, which appears to be where my issues started). Now it just boots to black screen or shows monitor input if supplied.

FWIW I am using windows 8 but have access to win7, ubuntu, or anything that'll run in a VM if needed. I also used the generic USB drivers, but had to force it to select the ADB driver, which DID work ,hwoever the drivers supplied don't recognize the device in fastboot mode (and if I force it to use the generic fastboot driver, it just says the device is broken and stops responding via ADB until powered off/on again.)

ive reupped the File on a new hoster here
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oncouch1:
Thanks so much ! Going to try it ASAP. :o

MCVoodoo Thanks again it worked as advertised! :D

But alas due to my stupidity I somehow hit factory reset rather than flash zip so I now have a hard brick. The unit still works as an hdmi screen (no touch). :crying:

Doing so eliminated usb debugging and more. :p

If anyone finds a way to hard reset it would be appreciated. Some of the things I've tried, opened unit look for hardware reset (sometimes found on cheap tabs), looked for hardware volume button pads to try and fastboot, jumper c14 on motherboard looks as it might be volume connector (it is empty) tried jumping one at a time (nope) but not all four pins (must see if I have a jumper from other destroyed android) :cyclops:, took some pics and searched for Hannstar M7 motherboard with no joy. Tried booting with usb keyboard and mouse and holding volume buttons. :silly:

I may try to use network patch cable to see what else I can jack up. I know the factory had to flash rom somehow. I will use the rooted VSD220 rom as that is the only one I found. My nandroid backup was made after my mistake. Any suggestions other than trash it or use it as a monitor? :rolleyes:

TIA

Update: ordered new motherboard off eBay doh!

Ok latest news - I got a motherboard off ebay but alas it is locked. Too many pattern attempts! I tried talking to seller but no help yet. So my request does anyone have a nandroid backup? I would like to try that before I try flashing to VSD firmware. Can someone post a nandroid bacup to flash in CWM

TIA again!

Acer da220hql

Hello community XDA have this monitor Acer DA220HQL in waiting, dark screen and applied VSD220 Viewsonic rooted ROM and anything not walk the monitor achievement do appreciate a tutorial to repair the uboot or rom for this monitor or tutorial for beginners really urges me much no longer count on warranty excuse my bad English
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch604:
I've also procured one of these devices, and am having trouble getting it unlocked. i called acer support, but their robot sent me to the third party service, and the 'technician' claimed that unlocking it was possible without mailing the device in or opening the case, but he was not able to elaborate when i pressed him for more information, and i didnt want to shell out $99 for what i believe would be no help.

a friend recommended that i solder an eMMC reader to the ram chip on the motherboard, which i would be willing to try (i got the device for nothing from a friend) but the connectors for the chip appear to be on a different layer of the motherboard.

there are indeed two 4 pin connectors on the motherboard that are not connected to anything (CN3 on the front, looks promising as a data upload port, and CN14 on the back, likely for buttons from a different model). not sure where to go with that. i havent tried booting with a keyboard attached yet. i doubt that mashing f2 will get me to a bios screen :P

i also attempted to connect the device to my desktop over adb, and though i can see the unit with 'lsusb', running 'adb devices' shows nothing attached. usb debugging is probably off, and i dont have a method to force it on.

perhaps there is some way we can leverage the ethernet port to connect to some open protocol and delete the /data/system/*.key files? how does the ethernet port even function, will it pick up dhcp?

Also, I have two questions: does BT mouse/keyboard work on Acer-turned-Viewsonic? (According to the manual, it does not on the Acer software). The second question: will I be able to flash the Viewsonic rom if the touch is not working (the procedure calls for selecting the su.zip)?

Hi, I bought the DA222HQL, but I screwed up with the recovery and my backup got corrupted in the SD card. Does anyone has the original recovery? Also, it has kitkat but I can't root it, when it reboots, root is gone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JabberwockPL:
I am a bit late to the party, but I have a chance to get the device rather cheap (with somewhat dysfunctional touchscreen though).

My questions:

1. Does vanilla DA220HQL support OTG mice/keyboards? If the touch is not working, I might have to have use those until I get BT working (do BT peripherals work?).

2. Is the VSD220 firmware considered to be better than DA220? I have seen several people switching, but then some people were also switching back...

3. Is there an alternative source for VSD220 rooted version? I have the viewsonic link, but it always fails to download after about 130 MB.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JabberwockPL:
I have bought it... Not a bad bargain for 50 bucks, even with the touch only partially working.

Curiously, the manual says that only Bluetooth audio is supported. But actually it support my keyboard+mouse combo without problems - maybe it has been updated? So for now I have no reason to switch to VSD220, especially that I do not have the ROM anyway.

You said you've unlocked your bootloader. Most custom ROM's require custom kernels which again require an unlocked bootloader.

Anyway, to unlock your bootloader you have to charge your phone to 100% and follow this tutorial: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254087

1) your phone is not bricked, relax

2) you have only 2 ways for flashing: through CWM with a zip or with flashtool a ftf

3) "Search for stock 2.3.3 generic ftf file, flash with flashtool then root"

4) first unlock bootloader,read carefully instructions in flashtool software, it takes time and many reboots in if I remember. then flash a CUSTOM kernel with flashtool for your rom,

5) enter into cwm and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and advanced/wipe dalvik, then install zip from sd card, it will install your custom rom.
