This is the EU firmware, verison 3_420 that I originally downloaded from Viewsonic's Euro website as linked in the post - it is in *.nb0 format.
I re-checked VS's website in different parts of the world and they all appeared to be offline or not accessible, with no reasons given.
Placed this in dropbox - kindly let me know if you can access & retrieve it, or if you run into problems. Some of my cloud storage are gone as I am uploaded it to the multiload server and it's ...
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/ViewPad 7 Firmware v3_42_uk.zip
Below is the SUTL3 installation utility that you will need to flash it, please read & follow instructions - and, as always - backup first.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64025118/SUTL3_v1.7.9.zip
Please proceed at your own risk as I am and will not be responsible if you (soft) brick your device - the files as uploaded are unaltered as it was originally saved or downloaded. Good Luck !
Thanks for your help...
Now i have SUTL and the Rom...
When trying to flash, it boots in the recovery but then aborts...
and says that the file couldn´t be sent to the device...
do i need an Micro-SD-Card(tried without) inserted to flash the Stock rom?
or do i need the stock Recovery(i have CWM installed)?
Greets and Thanks

Whether it's flashing the stock/factory rom or cwm, you need to have the mSD card in the slot, especially custom ROM or else it will not install. Try it again.
The stock recovery will format & if I remember correctly (it will unroot the device) - need to root it again & reinstall CWM, so please make sure you have the necessary files since lots of us "had" cloud files disappeared due to the megaupload & related issues recently.
Check & uninstall, then reinstall any usb drivers - I believe it will load from the device onto the computer. While still in CWM recovery, connect via USB cable and if you can read the mSD card, then it should be ready to re-flash the factory ROM.

OK... I got it...
the problem was the recovery.
After flashing an older CWM-Recovery SUTL did the job.... and flashed the Image.

Sony Tablet S doesn't boot up

I have an original Sony tablet S, which I had OTA upgraded to 3.2. It froze on me one day, and I then pressed the soft reset button. It normally comes back up after that, but this time, it just went to be initial boot screen of wavy lines and stayed there forever.
I tried
- hard reset with vol+ and power key and erase all data ... It still didn't work
- installed adb and PC recognized the device, but says"device could not be started" error code 10... Hence I couldn't proceed any further
I did not backup or have a firmware in a SD card.
Is there any way, I could reflash my device with a working firmware so that it will boot up?
PS. Before my Sony died, I had not set the settings to "USB debugging mode" and now I can't

Simple fix my man.
Which region are you???
This will involve upgrading probably to ICS, so you won't be able to root for now but hey you tab will be working.
Follow the istructions from my FAQ in my signature.
You want to enter recovery and flash your regions zip file.
Good luck

Dear Stifilz
I am in the US and more or less a noob. I downloaded the region file (signed-nbx03-001....zip) from your post.
When I try to open it in the PC, it says its an "invalid zip file".
Should I still load it into SD and flash it from there? Also, when it asks for the file in the RESET screen in Sony, do I provide the zip file or the contents?
Cheers!

File is encrypted. Tablet will decrypt it for you. Place zip on sd card and flash through recovery. Look in FAQ for details. You can even root after that.
Goo luck again

Thanks! It worked!! ... My tablet is not bricked any more...
Another noob question ... When I sign in with my google account, will it restore all my apps, books, magazines that I had bought in the past?
Cheers!

Depends if you had back up enabled. But should do. If not it should restore data as you install the apps.
P.s i suggest if you ever want root do it now. Plu you can preroot ics etc

[Q] Lenovo A660 Boot Loop

Dear everyone
Not long ago I bought this Lenovo A660. It's a really nice phone, but it's in a boot loop now. I don't know exacly why it got this far but let me explain.
I flashed an Etotalk rom, because I needed Dutch system language, so the rom needed to be multilanguage. The flashing went ok and I used the phone a few days. Then I wanted to do a factory reset to wipe all the account data and apps I installed, because I wanted to give the phone as a birthday present to my best friend.
Right after I started the factory reset it began to reboot over and over again, showing just the factory reset animation (android character with animation and bar). Every 5 secs after it's on it just reboots doing the same thing again.
Things I've tried:
- Searched Android forum's for 3 days
- Tried to boot into CWM recovery Vol UP + Pow, but it will still boot in boot loop.
- I tried to use SP Flash Tool to reflash the recovery. It gave me a green circle and it was downloaded, but it doesn't change anything. Still the same.
- I tried to use SP Flash Tool to reflash the whole Rom, but it gave me an error. Probably because when I connect the phone, the device only shows up for 2-3 secs in the device manager and then disappears, so I think there isn't enough time to flash the whole rom.
- Tried some more button combinations and found out that I can boot into the so called "Factory Mode". Then I connected the phone with USB and it showed a Mediatek preloader device. So I thought I could flash it that way, but SP Flash Tool doesn't respond to it when it's in Factory Mode
- I found some other users with a similar problem, but they didn't describe how they fixed it. Someone mentioned a build-in etotalk recovery, but I don't know the button combination.
The last thing I wanted to say about what I've tried is when I'm in Factory Mode, I can see an ADB device connected in device manager. So I scanned for ADB devices and it does recognize the device. I tried to start recovery mode from ADB with cmd, but it just goes into the boot loop again.
I really hope someone recognizes the problem and is willing to help me. I'm so desperate to get this device working again.
Thanks in advance.
Fixed
I'd like to say that I have fixed the problem myself. After everything seemed hopeless, I forgot one thing. I was able to flash the recovery. I wondered why I would only be able to flash the recovery, well the scatter file I used differs from the other roms I tried to flash. So I used a different scatter file to flash the recovery.
Desperately trying to revive the phone I put the recovery (original scatter file I used to flash the recovery) scatter file in another rom map (rom from a russian site) and replaced the scatter file. Then I loaded it and to my amazement it began flashing everything. The whole rom and recovery. It did not disconnect. It probably put the phone in a wait mode.
Then it rebooted in the factory reset mode again, so I thought it wasn't fixed, but I waited and after the second boot, it booted the rom successfully.
So if anyone else ever has this problem, I'm glad to help you.

I would like to point out that i'm not and expert and don't actually know what the scatter file does, but it worked this for me. Maybe someone can clarify what the function of the scatter file is? Thanks.
I used the scatter file, which I originally used to flash the recovery. If you haven't tried it yet, you should try to flash a different rom with the first scatter file you used to flash the recovery.
If that doesn't work, you could try this one:
needrom.com/mobile/lenovo-a660-etotalk-mod/
Click on the Recovery link next to the picture and download the file. Then unzip it and copy/paste the scatter file in the folder with your to be flashed rom. That is what I used to fix it.
Hope it works for you. I now, for the first time know how it feels to brick a device after 10 brick-less years. And how it feels to actually fix it when all seems hopeless.

I have exactly the same problem as you on the same phone. I have tried to flash recovery with flash tool using various scatter files including "TWRP_v2.3.1.1_for_A660.zip" but I keep getting an error that says.

DA partial images download is only allowed for the following pre requisite:1.all images have been downloaded to the target before and target could boot up;2. the images layout map on the target is the same as the load that is to be downloaded.

I had the same problem and tried all the ways described to fix the problem, but nothing worked.
Then I had the idea to format the whole flash memory to start with a clean system.
So I have chosen the format button in SP Flash Tool and formatted the whole flash memory. After that the A660 was completely dead.
So I have downloaded the Lenovo original ROM for A660 from here. It is the only one that contains all the files to flash the Lenovo A660 completely new. I loaded the scatter file in SP Flash Tool and flashed it. Then the phone booted normally :laugh: and I was able to come in recovery mode to flash Etotalk ROM or restore some backup file.
I have this problem...!
So if anyone else ever has this problem, I'm glad to help you.
I have this problem:
When I turn on the phone, the logo LENOVO comes, and remain for ever...!
I can go to recovery (I tried to flash different recovery-cybermaus,etotalk and TWRP-and tried to flash ROMS from them, but no success, always says cannot mount cache partition and "related" log files).
I cannot go to POW+VolDwn combination, Download/Factory mode? (before the problem I could reach this menu...)
Is like if I cannot access freely the partitions, If I try to mount trough recovery, error!
Any ideas?

[Q] P780 - Help installing ROMs (any)

Hi Guys,
Can someone help me, please? I've rooted my P780, and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I can't seem to get any ROMs to install, though. I've tried four now, two from the forums here and two from needrom.com, but none of them install.
I put the ROM zip file on the SD card, reboot to CWM, wipe etc then try and install but for every ROM I get the following:
Warning: No file_contentssymlink: some symlinks failed
E: Error in <ROM zip file> (Status 7)
Is there something more I have to do? Or should I try and flash by other means?
Thanks!

Iff your phone is rooted do this:
Download TWRP 2.7.1.1 from my post and install Mobileuncle Tools from Magazin Play!
Extract TWRP from archive rename it recovery.img and copy on your internal memory, in the root of your internal memory not in one folder.
Open Mobileuncle Tool and go to Recovery Update>and the first option select and flash. Then restart directly to recovery. Not optional!
Try this!
Waiting for feedback.
Sadly, I'm still having problems.
I booted up the stock ROM (had to try and get it back off Chinese! :laugh: )
I reinstalled Framaroot, rooted and then used MobileUncle tools to install the recovery.img from your TWRP zip as suggested. This has worked, I now have TWRP as recovery, which is good, thanks.
However, when I try and install a ROM from ZIP - just tried an AOSP and an SLXROM - I get the same thing:
Code:
symlink: some symlinks failed
Error executing undater binary in zip '/external_sd/SLXROM)v26-Lenovo_P780-ROW.zip'
Any more help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. It seems to me that you have problems with the archives, maybe i am wrong. Try to see if the archives are not corrupted by something.
Try first to replace your SD Card just for test, and try to reflash SLX or AOSP again.
One more thing: be careful when you download the archives not to be corrupted.
Sent from my Lenovo P780
It's still not working for me
I've taken the SD card from my older phone, which has been working fine for years. Formatted it and reloaded ROMS, but I still get exactly the same thing. I've tried five different ROMS, which were downloaded across two different computers at home and one in work on a different connection, so I can't imagine that all of these files would suffer the same corruption.
I've been having a search around and did find one person suggesting that it might be to do with storage space. I think I've seen in this forum (but I can't find it now) that you can resize the system storage partitions. Do I need to try this?
Thanks for your continuing help!
Partitioning didn't seem to help.
I followed the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/general/p780-repartition-storage-t2668744
But I still get the same thing when I try to install a ROM from SD Card. :crying:
I feel sure there's something really simple that I've missed, but even re-reading all the threads I can't figure it out.

I used the 'recommended' option in the ReParted/Aroma tool.
Now in the stock OS I can see:
Internal Storage:
2.56GB total
1.33GB available
USB Storage:
1.03GB total
1.02GB available
And then my 16GB SD card as well.
Well, I think I broke it. :crying:
Out of desperation and thinking I might have got the wrong idea, I tried a china, not ROW rom. Strangely, TWRP seemed to be able to install this. However, now the phone won't boot. So I have no OS at all!
I can still load TWRP recovery, but it still won't install roms. Also it keeps telling me it can't mount /data for some reason.
Can anyone help, please? What have I done?
This sounds like me ... the first 24 hours i had my p780. After that i discovered i have a newer version (also Chinese) of the phone then most of the forum members. I can only flash through the flashtools (i don't even bother to install a custom recovery anymore). You need an other preloader.
So just try it ( you got nothing to loose anyway )
Download the flashtool if you didn't do that already .
Make sure you have the correct drivers installed
Download a rom you can flash with the flashtool (i'm using a modified version of VibeUi2.0 no Chinese apps, and extra languages )
replace the preloader in the rom with the one attached.
shutoff your phone.
load the rom in the flashtool (make sure you've selected everything you need like DL with checksum etc, if you never did it please read threads and topics)
press download and connect your phone ...
for me all this above resurrected my phone again

Thanks for your reply Re-Mi! It gives me hope to know you got yours sorted. I'll definitely try your suggestion.
I'm just wondering, how do I use the flash tool? All the tutorials I've seen have needed the phone to be on and have usb debugging on. But I don't have a working OS for this, only TWRP recovery works now. Is that what the preloader is for? I shall research!
Again, thanks.

Step by step guide :
If your phone is not already soft bricked, back up whatever you want. External SD card is fine. If your phone is soft-brick then say goodbye to your data and skip this step.
Uncompress all the files you downloaded from this thread into a directory where you can remember. Including the ROMs.
Shutdown your phone if its not in a bootloop. If it is skip this step.
Open "Device Manager" on your Windows PC.
Plug in your phone through the micro USB cable. A device will show up for a few seconds in "Device Manager". After that, it will disappear again!
Recognize the device tree where it appeared, and wait for it as you unplug and plug in your phone again (if bootloop, its automatic!)
Catch it with a right click as it appears! Then choose "Update Drivers" and pick the directory where you uncompressed the drivers you downloaded above. Its ok if after catching it the device disconnects. You only need to install the drivers now.
Assuming the drivers are correctly installed, run the Smart Phone Flash Tool.
Click on scatter-loading and choose the scatter file "MT6589_Android_scatter_emmc.txt" of the ROM you want to flash.
Make sure the checkbox "DL DA All With Check Sum" is CHECKED
Click on "Firmware->Upgrade" button.
Plug in your powered down phone via the USB cable again. See it flash.
When a big green circle appears on the screen, your are done!

Woohoo! Got my phone working!
Thanks for your help guys. In the end I borrowed a laptop that had windows 7 on, which I was able to get the flash tool working on. So I've now flashed with the kitkat version of the stock ROM
I still don't know why TWRP wouldn't flash any one of the eight different ROMs I tried!
I'm going to continue messing about with the phone. I'd like to get Life ROM working, but I need TWRP back first.
Again, thanks all.

hi sir, i have an error on TWRP i tried installing diff. versions of Recovery on it using Mobile uncle but i cant seem to fix it, im getting "unable to mount " so i am unable full wipe the phone, im guessing i need to reflash the stock rom using spflashtool but i searched everything on the net i cant det stock rom and working walkthrough and working files. any help would be appreciated thank u so much
The official rom is unavailable.
You can find another rom to install through the tools. But it has to be in the right format.i wouldn't change the recovery through mobile uncle. I would recommend changing it through appropriate tool. I'll be uploading a dropbox file with a rom you can use. Wait till tomorrow and you'll be ok.

you can get into the bootloader by key combination.to tell you the truth since its always booting up if you keep the up(i think) volume button pressed it will eventually get into recovery.
anyway the sp flash tools is quite easy..just add the scatter file that is provided in my DB and open the rom
all things will go to their appropriate places.the rom works 100%
i used it for a few days until i found my cuoco92 backup (which i like more)
keep me in the loop if something happens

i meant using it in bootloop..in the drivers i uploaded there is a driver that you can use even in bootloop and the phone gets recognised as a proper usb device.then sp flash can work fine.if i remember correctly the driver is called bootloader driver

I had the same problem. Seems that the ROM is not recognising all the "virtual" sdcard that we have in our mobile phone.
Anybody knows how to solve it?

I think it will be better if you try to install the ROM using Flash Tool instead of TWRP.
Do you have the stock one?
