[Q] First time flashing VP7 - Does anybody help? - Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants

My device:
Vpad7 w/ Android 2.2.1
Baseband version PR3.7_125
Kernel version Apps_2.6.32.9
Build number 1008_3_240
SWVer=3.240
Model: FM6-0001
HWVer=107
Desired ROM: EUViewpad7v1.7b-ITE
I tried to follow the [READ FIRST] Vpad7 Dev's thread.
1- Root was ok, su successful (SOC 1.7 and antivirus off);
2- Copied all partitions to sdcard was ok;
3- Error copying flash_image to /system/bin (read-only file system)
solved with:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwrecovery.img
4- EUViewpad7v1.7b-ITE.zip copied into sdcard and renamed to update.zip;
5- Backup stock ROM on dev's recovery mode ok;
6- Select 'apply sdcard: update.zip' on dev's recovery mode, with success;
After reboot, the VP7 shows the 3 birds logo, and after that shows an endless animation, on which is a kind of telephone's cabin flying through a cloud tunnel. (no, i'dont use drugs!). The android's graphic interface isn't loaded.
I restored rom bkp from sdcard by dev's recovery mode with success.
Could I use the EUVpad7v1.7b without a previous EUVpad7v1.7 ?
What's going wrong?

It takes a while to load first time. For me it did. I also had a problem like that and had to mount system with latest CMW

What's your CWM's version?

I tried w/ the CWM 5.0.2.6, but after "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwrecovery i've got an error (No space left on device).
When i use the CWM 2.5.1.2 (from XDA dev's tutorial), flash_image recovery is completed with success.
Is there an intermediate version that solve this issue?
thanks!

Weird. Did you factory reset and wipe?

That's it!
We get, but when i start the recovery mode on VP7, the CWM version shown is 2.5.1.2 yet! As a newbie i thought to install a new CWM only the "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cwrecovery.img" command was necessary to.
I didn't forget to copy new cwm (downloaded here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288223 - is it the rigth version?) to sdcard.
Do you have an idea to apply that change?

Yeah!
I gave up to change CWM version. After searching here, i found a very good step by step for newbies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1224825). My 2.5.1.2 CWM has worked fine!
The problem is that i was forgetting to create the ext partition to App2SD, probably.
Thread closed.

CWM Newer than 2.5 maybe cause of some error.
