Hey !

I might know the problem, take out the battery and look if the things that go into the battery on the phone are right. My friend had the same problem, but we fixed it. Just use something to fix those small things so they are up, and not to the corners.

Hope this helped

Crap, still won't work :(
[XPERIA X1 General] sonus:
This is sooo simple, yet sooo effective.

In a nutshell:

1. Backup your old texts w/either MyPhone or a phone backup program if you need them

2. Open text messages program

3. click "menu>>Tools>Clear "SMS/MMS" and WAIT

Background:

I'm sure many of your have experienced huge speed slowdowns when typing SMS messages. Past fixes have included removing the character counter via a registry edit, removing SMS threading via a registry edit, cleaning your keyboard, and even flashing new ROMS. Heres how to get the speed back to the way it was on day 1 without anything complex.

Reasoning:

Windows Mobile is RIDICULOUSLY inefficient at managing a large SMS database. I had been suffering huge slowdowns and on a whim I went to "menu>>Tools>Clear "SMS/MMS" and after after a long wait while Winmo cleared the messages the keyboard could once again keep up with my typing speed!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sector10:
I recently was checking my SPL version and I held the Volume down button+endbutton and received a tri color screen. I think it would be called the bootloader, but I am not sure. But as this screen was on, I couldn't turn the phone off or do anything for that matter. So I had to take out the battery. When I put the battery back and tried turning it back on, NOTHING happened. I tried different combos of buttons and nothing turned on. It's like my phone doesn't have a battery. I mean did I brick the phone by just checking the SPL version and taing out the battery?

How to root Viewpad 7?

Anybody suceeded?
[General Questions and Answers] veryhip:
Ok,

Use SuperOneClick, just make sure to click 'run as admin' if win7. That was were I screwed up.
[General Questions and Answers] lakehousetech:
In case you have issues here is a step by step:

a) Download the latest version of Super One Click (currently 1.6.5).

b) Place your Android device into debugging mode, and connect to computer.

c) Right-click the Super One Click executable and select 'Run As Administrator'.

d) At program launch select 'rageagainstthecage' exploit method, then select 'Root'.

e) If there is no activity for more than 30 seconds and the terminal display is stuck at 'Running rageagainstthecage....' remove the USB plug momentarily and plug back in.

f) You should get the message “***IF IT KEEPS LOOPING, TRY DISABLING USB DEBUGGING NOW***” followed by an ADB reset, waiting for device, and finally a successful rooting message. (Apparently the looping issue is a known bug).

g) Once this process is complete your prompted to test the root condition. Follow the steps to verify.
[General Questions and Answers] zost:
Yes, I rooted it that way. Thank you very much!

How about unroot with Super One Click, does it work too?

Now let's put Gingerbread or Honeycomb on it!! :-)
[General Questions and Answers] lakehousetech:
I'm working on an AOSP port of Gingerbread for the Viewpad 7 as we speak. Once I can get the basics working I'll open a dedicated thread.
[General Questions and Answers] ZenInsight:
Really??! That's donation worthy man.

Edit:Then the only thing that would be missing is some way to do TV out. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] lakehousetech:
I don't know of any way TV out would be possible since there is no mini-HDMI port on the device. One of the main things that should be fixed is HD video playback. It really seems like Viewsonic rushed they're tablets to the market. Aside from that and lack of Flash I think it's a great tablet...especially for a developer. Having the 3G radio and GPS is really nice, as well as the screen compatibility mode.
[General Questions and Answers] ZenInsight:
The Viewpad 7 doesn't have flash! What?
[General Questions and Answers] lakehousetech:
It uses a Qualcomm MSM7227 ARM11v6 processor with Adreno 200 graphics, clocked at 600MHz. It's been benchmarked in direct comparison to it's 1GHz Snapdragon cousins, so don't let the clock speed fool you (performance would be comparable to the original Motorola Droid). It's certainly capable of running Flash, but Adobe has been less than forthcoming about releasing a version which will support this architecture.

There are many other devices using this chip that have been released just a couple months ago, so it is still very much in wide use. I don't think anyone has ever found a workaround (aside from using Flash Lite). So until Adobe comes around, we'll be stuck using Skyfire.
[General Questions and Answers] DocNielsen:
I just got my Vpad7 yesterday, and i'm already annoyed at the default 2.2. Even as rooted, my milestone with 2.3.3. still outshines it.

Because Adobe decided not to support the ARM11v6 processor architecture, even though they had a working build for it. You can use Skyfire browser to watch flash videos in the meantime.

[General Questions and Answers] lakehousetech:
There is information in the Super One Click thread for using it on Linux. Root the device before backing up the ROM. You can always 'unroot' it if you want later on. You could always use a friend's computer running Windows as well.

ViewSonic ViewPad problem solved

YES I solved the Viewpad 7 rooting problem.

After trying for 2 days I was stuck at waiting for device.

The solution is :

1- Download the SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse

Please note only 1.6.5

You can find it here under mediafire

/?3z5njntui9f3k7x copy this after the domain or search for it

2- Unzip the File to a folder on your PC

3- Connect the tablet ( ViewSonic Viewpad 7 ) to your USB

4- Before you do anything there is a setup file on the viewpad ( Again it is on the viewpad ) this one you have to install so your PC can recognize the tablet. Your PC may see the tablet as a USB storage but not tablet. If you install this file it will install the driver for it. It took about 3 minutes.

5- Some say that you may need to remove your SD card or unmount it, actually I didnot have to do that. But you may need to do it.

6- From the folder that you extracted on your PC from step 1&2 run the SuperOneClick.exe then the tab will show universal, you have to chose RageAgainestTheCage under Exploit.

7- Click on Root

Follow the prompts ... Pla Pla Pla Pla and you are done.

Hope it works for you.

Thanks

[General Questions and Answers] dumb-n00b:
I've tried everything but can't get my VP7 rooted!

Well everything, at least:

Old superoneclick (v1.5),

new superoneclick (v1.9),

both rageagaintthe cage and psneuter

unplugging/reconnecting the USB cable during "waiting for device" process

enabling/disabling/re-enabling USB debug mode,

aRoot script,

manually enter the commands in the adb shell of my device,

different adb versions (from my device or the ones included in e.a. superoneclick)

different computers (Windows 7 and Windows XP)

different USB cables.

It happens on different ROMS (defaults en VP7 enhanced)

The problem is that the superuser.apk is pushed/installed to the device, but actual root actions don't seem to be done.

I can push the psneuter file(s) to my device, chmod 6755 the file but cannot open them.

Mounting /system as read/write doesn't work and everything that comes after that (rooting, enable sideloading an thethering) also does not work :(

Every application says "not rooted"

Does anyone has any other tips/tricks? :(
[General Questions and Answers] dumb-n00b:
Solved!

Make sure the synctool (the one that is included on the Viewpad7) is running

Check your ADB interface (adb devices)

Use SOC 1.7, Rageagainstthecage

While SOC 1.7 "hangs"/waits, start the synctool en sync with anything (calandar/contact) you want.

While syncing watch the SOC window return information about the rooting process!

somehow the synctool seems to be needed to keep the ADB interface going
[General Questions and Answers] athompso:
Hangs at "Running psneuter" w/SOC1.9.5

Grabbed the latest version of SuperOneClick (1.9.5), followed all the various instructions (run as admin, drivers installed, sync tool running, adb is happy in general), but SuperOneClick always stops at "Running psneuter". Unplugging and replugging the device cycles back to that same point, "Running psneuter".

Looks like rageagainstthecage is gone in SOC 1.9.5?

Successfully rooted Viewpad 7 with Gingerbreak

Hi

I rooted mine with Gingerbreak. Yes, I know it's a Froyo device, but Gingerbreak did the job direct on the device. Easy and painless. Just install and run Gingerbreak, then reboot. It's been a few weeks now, no problems.

Once it's rooted, use Link2SD to free up internal memory and turn this hopelessly cramped device into a very usable little tablet. Close to 200 apps installed and no more low memory warnings. The other must have app is Titanium backup.

The first time you run an app that needs superuser priveliges, su will ask you to accept or deny. You only have to do this once per app.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huskermania:
So about 15 minutes ago, I updated MIUI for the Dinc to 1.2.4. It didn't take all my settings, apps, etc from the old version into this one, so I decided to recover back to the old version. Well, MIUI for some awful reason blocked the traditional way to boot into recovery. (Pwr + Vol up) So I used ROM manager to boot into recovery and restore to the old version. Here's where it got real bad... The phone shut off in the middle of recovery and now I cannot boot normally or get into CWR. I'm really scared that this could be really bad. Can anyone help me out on this?

[Adam General] clockcycle:
I was thinking having them assembled "a la carte" would have given them a more versatile inventory. But I don't truly know how their production really is, that's just a silly idea.

I assume they are already preassembled, perhaps even boxed ready to ship, to cut down this pre-order delivery times.

Same as running out of 3G, non3G and 3Geu, one would think they can pop in or out the appropriate 3G modem/card as supply demands..

But then they would probably have to use different version of the ROM appropriate to the change, and then there is testing and quality control... And in all this time, the possibility of damaging more units and adding to delays..

Always so many factors, getting rid of as many reasons for delays and possibilities for failure would be daunting to say the least..

I've done the same thing. I backed up with Clockwork to the SD. The Nook would only boot into Clockwork. So, I recovered and now the device will not power up at all. I fear that I have bricked a wonderful device that I spent alot of time on. It will not boot at all, will not respond to the power button at all and I don't know what to do.

[Nook Color General] fatnemesis:
Is it charged? Maybe your battery died.
[Nook Color General] BarryR1:
I'm more or less of a beginner at this but also used CWR and upgraded my rooted nook to 1.1. I had no problems at all so I don't no what's going on.

I will say though that:

1) from everything I've seen and read, unless you do really weird low level stuff (which you haven't) it's pretty much impossible to truly brick a Nook.

2) If it really won't start at all (completely blank screen) and you bring it to B&N, I'm sure they'll give you a new one (I'll leave the ethics of this aside, but it wouldn't be below me to do so). I imagine they might analyze it further back in repair land, but I don't think they'd come after you for the $249. Admittedly, this is not a great option since it could be a little embarassing and you'd be dumping your problems on someone else.

3) Are you using the right key combo to get into CWR at this point? There's a YouTube video that shows it. You have to get the timing right on when you release which buttons. If you can get into CWR, there are instructions on this forum for doing a stock recovery.
