Hello All!
Relative noob here...but more seasoned all the time. Firstly my viewpad device info from FTM:
SWVer=3.410
Model: FM6-001
HWVer: 107
In a nutshell: My bluetooth wasn't turning on (would turn on..then off). So tried to fix by:
1) Rooting and install CWM 5.0.2.6 (awesome tool BTW) and various ROMs, all done with success.
2) No good, oh well now want to give up. Contacted Viewsonic got RMA to return unit..however now concerned they'll not honor warranty if I rooted the device (sigh). So thought I'd return to stock. I did backup..but was already rooted when I thought of it.
3) Trying to return to stock using many versions Sutl3 and Sutlr...and on different PCs none work..once it boots to CWM menu...just stalls with error eventually.
4) Tried to install Napster's CWM with Recovery Menu to be able to return to original state with stock recovery. My version of CWM won't install it...errors out (another great tool though by the sounds of it).
5) Can't use fastboot..never sees device...although ADB works OK. Believe that the Bluetooth issue may be a hardware problem and may be effecting devices ability to work in "download mode". Note that HS-USB device is never present in device manager in Windows even though driver is installed.
So...my question...how can I return my device to stock with one of the below .nb0 files without stock recovery, sutlr or sutl3?
Files I have:
FM6-3310-0-5029-A02.nb0
FM6-3350-0-1008-A01.nb0
Can I somehow use CMW? Can I somehow use adb and "flash_image"?
Will super appreciate any thoughts!
Many thanks in advance!

If I remember correctly, you use SUTL3 from Viewsonic on your PC with the *.nb0 file in the same sub/directory - and just run it to flash the stock ROM or return it to factory condition, you do NOT use CWM to flash or re-install the *.nb0 file ... Part of this process involved overwriting the CWM installed on your rooted device & reversing it to become unrooted, look under the Development subforum here in this section as there's a link/discussion about how to restore, please double check on the details written up.
Also, make sure you have a mSD card in the slot - and that the USB drivers are loaded & running (they should be installed already back then) - might want to power down & restart the PC and do the same to the Vpad7.
Let us know how it go & good luck !
Many thanks for your response.
Well, what has happened when I've used SUTL3 so far is that I select the .nbo image I wish to flash, then the program restarts teh VPAD7 into recovery mode.
From what I've read, after a few moments the phone is then supposed to enter some sort of "download mode" whereby the new image is pushed across the USB cable.
It's at this point with SUTL3 seems to error out, and the phone simply remains in CWM.
I've read a few posts that suggest that not using the correct image could produce a response like this, so I'll retry again this PM having tried re-downloaded the two .nbo files I've tried, and one I've not tried.
Will let you know how it goes!

Hi Again,
OK I've retried it with a fresh copy of SUTL3, and new .nb0 files. Still no good.
Take a look at the enclosed pictures. The first time I try to run SUTL3 the device not configure error shows up. By this point CWM is showing on the VPAD7. I try to run SUTL3 again in this state and now the device not detect error shows up.
So all in all it seems to me that the device when in CWM mode is not exposing an interface to the computer...or the computer lacks the driver needed to utilize the interface.
I've also enclosed a picture of my windows devices when the VPAD7 is connected, as well a copy of the drives that show up when it's connected. The only time the drives change is when the VPAD7 is in CWM mode, at which time the H: drive (where the adb program are) is not present.
So am I missing a driver?
BTW: Have tried to copy down the synchronization program that is on the H: Drive and ran it while running SUTL3...thinking somehow it acted like a bridge to the VPAD7 (I've seen some posts that suggest this). Still no good.
J.
OK..one more piece to the puzzle...or maybe off the trail...but when trying on two differnt PCs when the VPAD7 is first plugged in I get one set of driver installs...and note that the HS-USB has an error.
Later when trying to run SUTL on it...another set of driver installs...again HS-USB error.
See enclosed.
try run sutl with viewpad in FTM mode that worked for me good luck
I have same problem before..n my solution is change back CWM with old ..mine to CWM 2.5.1..found that CWM 5.0.2.6 got problem with SUT L3..and everythind done successfully..as long u can still access ur Viewpad to change CWM its ok..
Wow! Thanks so much for your reply! This would be a huge help. Any idea where I might be able to find that older version of CWM?
Alleycatzero you're a genius! Running SUTL in FTM mode has done it!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is under the Development section - just d/l and unpack the zip file, copy to mSD card & follow the instructions. This verison should be the earlier one and I personally find it worked best together with ext3 and/or ext4 partitioning as needed.

The issues with SUTL3 and other apps not working/running has to do with the usb drivers not auto-installing & running as they should, try to uninstall Vpad7 drivers, reboot the PC - turn off any firewall and anti-virus software, connect the Vpad7 and let it finish installing/rebooting both devices again. Then, turn back on antivirus & firewall so that you will have easier time flashing rom, connecting mSD card & copying/moving files, etc.
Hi again,
my problem is as followed,
Recently rooted my Galaxy N7000 and replaced firmware with IMilkas ICS Tablet version.
Now my problem is I want to get rid of it yet the USB is not recognized by my Windows computer.
I am unable to use Mobile Odin as it will crash instantly also unable to use Odin via PC due to my phone not being recognized.
So any help would be great !

FIXED
I downloaded via the app store an app called "Airdroid" which allows you to move files from your pc to your phone whilst both devices share the same Network!
Moved a new Rom onto my phone and rebooted it into Recovery mode
> Install Zip from SDcard located my main file and installed it.
applied the update the same way, after restarting ,it threw a bunch of random error messaged around so I used the app CWM which comes with the ROM
option : FLASH KERNEL
located same rom as before and installed it with CWM followed by a reboot I used the option Flash Update in CWM and updated Griskelo Rom .
SO thank god it worked no error messaged and my USB works again so Odin can get back to work
Most likely there is a much easier way but this is what I figured out myself and as this forum says before you sign up... You are a noob any ways !
lol
hope I helped somebody with this and hope someone else posts the easier way beneath this
Hi.
I have rootet my phones and swapped kernels and roms
and tried to get a hang of this for 3 years now, and usualy
i find the anwsers i need in the forum.. (great job guys realy love all of you)
But after a weekend of headscratching, i need to make a post here and ask for help..
my phone got softbricked and stuck at Bootscreen after a failed kernel swap, i resolved it by flashing a new kernel through Odin since download mode was the only thing i got it to enter.. But after this my device no longer recognises adb nor the usb
As well as Windows 7 64 cant find the devices driver.. anywere.. yes i have ofc tried the newest available driver.. But the device works.. it just doesent want to communicate with my computer. Odin aswell get COM errors from time to time..
Cant mount ext.sd card, and loading backup doesent seem to do anything either.
Plz help ? :crying:
Try flashing again your ROM since you may have damaged the operating system during the failed kernel swap and the subsequenct failed boots.
If that still fails, take a Titanium backup (aswell as SMS Backup+) and factory-reset the device. However that should not be necessary
Hello
I bought a Lenovo p780 from a Chinese website 6 months ago (4gb), rooted.
I faced a problem with the signal of sim cards "invalid imei", so I tried to install TWRP recovery using a tutorial I saw online to use the recovery to install a new "modem" file. I used Mobileuncle app to do this but this step caused my phone to enter a bootloop, and the only way to get rid of this loop is to press the reset button whenever you want to turn the phone on! I tried to install other recoveries using Mobileuncle but nothing has changed too!
I also tried to flash a stock rom using sp flashtool but it just didn't work!! I tried many stock roms versions and many versions of the flash tool programs but when I press "firmware upgrade" or "download" nothing happens! believe me I tried everything to make this happen, I even tried to do this on different computers (win 7 and win 8.1) but I got the same result: nothing! No need to mention that I've already installed all the USB drivers on my computers. I read every single word in every single tutorial I found (including tutorials from this forum), but it's always the same failure!
I tried to change the modem file using Root Explorer but I missed with some folders and now even the Wifi doesn't work. All I need now is get my phone functions as normal with stock rom or with a custom rom.
I would be very appreciated if you can tell my what's wrong and why I can't flash a rom to my phone although it's not bricked at all and I can turn it on!
Hi everyone,
I managed to brick my Cube T8 Plus trying to root it. Now it is no longer recognised by Windows, does not turn on does not get into recovery. Any hope?
So desperate for some help here...:crying:
This is my problem too. I even can not find rom for it . i got it last week and i am sure it was 20160225 virsion.
Same problem here.
Recovery is working but it is not recognized by the pc (windows 10).
I tried to transfer a file by using a SD card but it does not appear on the recovery (install zip metod).
Try the SP flash tool.
its seems to be crashing on my PC.
any suggestions ?
You can download the file T8-PLUS_V1.0_20160218. use google to find and download it.
it contains the SP flash tool and a list.
tell me if you succeeded.
i didnt
Also same problem
I think I made a misstake and formated my whole Cube T8plus.
So I wonder if someone have a backup to share that I can try to use for recovery?
