While a lot has been written, the following should provide an easy-to-follow guide:
Preparation:
1. A torch (read on and you will know why)
2. 256M SD card
3. Download ntrw.exe, romupdate.exe, hexedfull.exe from the ftp of this forum to c:\ and install hex editor
4. Download the appropriate ROM file (hereafter referred to as "newrom.nb1"). Somehow, these rom files seemed to be deleted from this ftp. I will upload them later.
5. Cancel USB in ActiveSync
6. Use Sprite Backup to backup your ppc
Backup original ROM:
1. Put ppc into the boot loader mode (hold both on/off and camera buttons at the same time while resetting).
2. Insert empty SD card.
3. Connect ppc to pc through USB.
4. Run romupdate.exe on pc.
5. Select “\\.\WCEUSBSH001” in port settings. In the popup windows, enter “d2s” and press enter.
6. Don’t get panic to see the ppc screen goes dark. Use your torch and you will see the download percentage. Wait until it reaches 100% and shows “CheckSum is OK!”.
7. Insert SD card into card reader of the pc. Ignore the “format SD card” message and click “No”.
8. Run “command” to go into DOS prompt and change to root directory (cd c:\). Enter “ntrw read oldrom.nb1 s:” where s is the drive of your SD card.
9. Ignore the “Data error <cyclic redundancy check>” message. You should save another copy of this important rom file “oldrom.nb1”.
Change header of newrom.nb1:
1. Right click on oldrom.nb1 to open hex editor. Copy the first 220 bytes.
2. Open the downloaded newrom.nb1 file and overwrite the first 220 bytes with those of the old rom.
3. Save the edited newrom.nb1. You may save another copy of this important file.
4. Go to the command prompt and enter “ntrw write newrom.nb1 s:” to write it to the SD card. Ignore the error message “The parameter is incorrect”.
Update the ROM:
1. Insert SD card into ppc and put it to boot loader mode again (on/off + camera + reset). Use you torch to check the dark screen.
2. When it shows “Press Power to flash”, press the on/off button. Wait until it reaches 100% and ignore the message “Download Fail - CheckSum Fail”
3. Soft reset your ppc.
4. You may have to reinstall your software, unless you are familiar with the advanced features of Sprite Backup.

1. Download the 20060426 from www.seeo2.com
2. Run DSUU, after extracting the files in directory windows\temp DO NOT CLICK NEXT
3. Copy all 6 files into temporary or another directory
4. From that 6 files, copy 2 files with the extention nb0 (diskimage_ver.nb0 and eboot.nb0) to your mini SD
5. After copying into your mini SD, rename diskimage_ver.nb0 into diskimg.nb0
6. Now, you can run bootloader by pressing camera and soft reset ( you have to put your mini SD into your Atom so that the bootloader will boot from mini SD
7. Just wait and if there is some error message do not bother them, the most important that downloading OS Image and Eboot
8. After that your screen will blank, do not worry or panic
9. Pull out your mini SD and connect USB to PC and run bootloader again
( please make sure that your usb already connected to pc )
10. Now u can normally run the 20060426
This topic has been posted in many threads, there is no need to use the SD if this procedure is not done correctly you will loose the bootloader all together. Instead use the method posted by Luchao:
1.run atom 0416 rom update program, after the DSUU program extracted the files, don't click "next", go to windows/temp folder, copy those files extracted, except "diskimage_Ver.nb0" and "ExtendedRom.img", then save them somewhere else.
2.run july exec rom update program, after the DSUU program extract the files, don't click "next," go to windows/temp folder, overwrite with the files you just saved, this will leave only the diskimage_Ver.nb0 & ExtendedRom.img files as of the july exec rom, others become atom rom files, including an older bootloader which allows you to flash back other roms.
3. flash

You don't need cut any byte to flash into device,
just download temp.rar & diskimage_ver to do.
step:
1. unzip temp.rar to c:\windows\temp
2. enter engineering mode for HP68x8
3. excute c:\windows\temp\Device Software Update Utility.exe
4. delete all file except .exe and ROM file when show "NEXT" dialog.
that it can not update Eboot, so you don't wrong upgrade fail, if so you can re-upgrade. Eboot same like PC's BIOS. and ROM same like PC's OS.
5. click "next" to upgrade ROM until sucessful.

my pda to remain bootloader
1. download the attached files
2. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!
3. connect usb cable
4. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)
5. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display
6. unplug and replug the usb cable
(OPTIONAL, better to skip it! step 7. if you only want to test the sspl try flashing the attached splash screen by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-splash-niki)
8. you can now flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-uspl-niki
Step 8 ... where do I put the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh?
I'm trying to help someone flash hardsplk on his device, but it just doesn't work...he gets error 264...
Are we suppose to keep the hardsplk in the rom updates folder?
Are we suppose to rename it?
I think you should create a new folder and put the ROMUpdateUtility.exe and hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh in it (just those files) then run the exe file.
Although I would recommend downloading HardSPL 1.22 as most things require it these days. Do the same with the 1.22 version.

I am trying to get my viewsonic g tab back to factory. I installed the APX driver ok, and downloaded the applicable files. I try to run the nvflash_gtablet.bat script and it comes up with a file configuration error that the file can't be found. I am running windows 7. Any suggestions?
i have never done nvflash and never got brick and loaded multiple roms and went on dif dev branches
this is for 1.1
http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-3588-user.zip
and this is for 1.2
http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/update-smb_a1002-4349-user.zip
rename the zip file to "update.zip"
hopefully you partioned your tab before nvflashing it. if not then please ignore this.
put update.zip in root of your sd card.
create a folder named "recovery" and place an empty file named command with this text inside
Code:
--update_package=SDCARD:/update.zip
then go into recovery and let it update.
hope i helped somewhat
ps to make files in win 7. i open notepad and paste code then save a command.tmp then i go and delete tmp. it leaves it as a file. and works

h i because you didn't have the image files to flash into. This is probably the most common mistake that beginners make.
Go to my website linked in my signature and go to the start here page. You're probably a code yellow.
