Hi guys,
Wanted to share my finding...havent seen this in here so here it goes.
To dowload press "Pobierz" button and download file... Viewpad7 Firmware for 3e recovery
This is a original Viewsonic firmware(v3_420) with Languages included: Czech, Danish, German, English, Hungarian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Finnish, Swedish, Greek and Russian Size: 110MB
So what use is for this firmware pack?
Well my tablet got usb/charging slot "screwd". Usb connection work only when holding strongly pluged in with both hands and charging works in one position(without holding uff) anyway I decided to recover original images to send to warranty heh.
I recovered recover.img and then system and reset device. After reboot I got my viewpad "bricked" -->only recovery 3e working (((( so in trouble as it dont accept just any file... got errors when trying to load update.zip or nb0 files...
Cannot use ADB or other usb methods.
After few hours found this ROM with two specially provided by Viewsonc files to load firmware by using standard 3e recovery from sdcard.
inside there is a pdf with instructions if you want to know more.
Hope this can help anyone that would run into similar troubles if its doubled topic sorry but I was looking and havent found anything about this kind of recovery method.
regards

Hello at all......
I came from Germany, so sorry for my bad english.......
From a Friend, i get an Lenovo A660 Android Phone, this Phone died during an update he made......
Only shows the lying Android with the sign.
I can boot it with luck, but then the Homescreen is lost, i only can make preferences.
I load the custom rom from cybermouse, get into the recoverymode and get a failure message ''not signed''
Then i can find the original rom, but i get the message about boot failure, sometimes i can install from sd card, but nothing happens.
i sit here on osx.........any ideas for an Apple boy, to solve this problem, and recover that phone ?????
Hi, I don't know if this is still up to date, ... anyway:
Theres a step by step instruction in cybermaus thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874403
"Instructions:
By default, the ROM will not overwrite USERDATA or FAT. If you want a clean slate, first extract empty.userdata.rar and/or empty.fat.rar
- Read bgcngm flash tutorial.
- Read it again
- Start Flash Tool (v3.1222, in my Dev-Host)
- Load scatter file
- Take out USB cable and replace battery
- Press the download button in the flash tool
- Connect the USB cable
- Wait for the flashing to complete"
The most important thing is: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.html
You have to flash your phone first before you can install a custom rom!
(I don't know how to do it on osx... I've done it on Win with my Lenovo A660 and it worked!)

After a successful root I probably made mistake in editing "vold.fstab" (I want to change the sdcard1 for sdcard2) a tablet hangs when loading ( still spinning wheel and the system will not boot ) .
I download a recovery file by "nandroid" from some Czech Republic Android forum, put in on SD card but in CWM I'm still see that "restore not found". So I can not restore with this file.
Could someone help me?
Somebody said that update firmware can help, I have officialy firmware update in format img . PMP5101C_20131019_v1.0.8.img , but do the update through the program what official makes Prestigio requires the tablet is on (boot in system), which unfortunately is not possible .
Maybe it is possible to do it with RKAndroidTool, there can be tablet off (just turf off, push volume+ and connect cable) . But I dont know, what is the numbers in box " Address" for firmware update ((
Alternatively, maybe somebody can create a update.zip file for me, that I can use in the CWM and make a update with this and overwrite the "vold.fstab" to the original.
If someone help , I also like to reward for PayPal.
I do not want have a tablet for 200 EUR as a paperweight.
Sorry for my poooor english.
UP - Please help me.

Do you have the files to root this device as i have CMW 6.03 installed, but when i use the SuperSU-v1.65.zip that came with it, it errors.
Please help as this is a great device from Maplins at a great price.
@dvd73
Not sure if you managed to fix your problem.
I messed up my framework-res.apk trying to get usb tether enabled and my 5101C also did not boot.
I reflashed my rom to v.1.0.11 from the official website according the instructions provided and it was like new.
No need to start it up, you only need to get to flash mode by holding vol+ while pluging in the usb, then RKbatchtool will recognize your tablet.
@happy2help
Try updating your rom to v.1.0.11 and then flashing the CWM recovery. Then download the latest SuperSU zip from xda and install the zip, this worked for me.

I searched for a cheap phone because I have a happit breaking them. I ordered the Simdo D98T.
When I received the Simdo It came in a nice box. But I was supprised there wasn't any playstore. Only Chinese Markets and Apps. But I can't read a word Chinese so I would love to have the normal Play Store. After a few days searching I got across a Rusian forum. With the help of Google Translate, I figured out how to place CWM and also gapps on the Simdo D98T.
You need SP Flash tool (like every other Chinese phone. Ik used version 13.08. If there is somebody who needs it I can provide a link.
After that you need this files from the Russian guy:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8K6WlfE3JM9Ri1PMDZyTGtlZU0/edit
Open SP Flash tool and load the scatter file that you just downloaded. After the scatter is loaded disable the preloader, it might save your phone.
In case (like mine) the other files are empty, fill the recovery with the CWM image and the boot with the bootimg.
Remove the battery from the phone and connect the USB cable. Be sure you have the drivers installed.
Press the DOWNLOAD button in the flashtool. After inserting the battery it needs a few seconds to install. When a green circle is displayed, you have succesfully installed CWM. Now you can download the matching GAPPS (4.2) and place it on the SD Card of your phone.
Boot to CWM and install GAPPS, No need to delete your data it just works out of the box.
I hope somebody is happy with this small explaination. Sorry for my bad English sometimes. But I hope I helped a few people out. Have fun with Goolge Play and CWM

Hello,
Thanks for the info.
But, may I ask you something?. Could you please make a backup of the rom and upload it?
I bought it, and this is the second time that pandawill sent it to me broken. Each time I send it to Pandawill costs me 25€, so I would like to try to fix by myself, because the only solution that they give me is send it back to be fixed.
Thanks in advance.

I bought a couple of phones but got scammed. So to not get a bad name around here I gave my phones away. A new phone from an other seller is on it's way to me. When I receive it I will upload it!
