Hello,
I received a new tablet Viewsonic ir7Q. The device is 7", Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM and 16GB storage.
Does anyone know how to root it? It's running Android 5.1.1.
The device has a decent performance but awful battery life, so I'm trying to first root it, then try look for a custom ROM.
Thanks,
Seems nobody replied to you. Any luck? Battery sucks, and I get veeeery often the screen where its updating step xx/yyy and might take hours.. anyway to disable automatic system updates? Or where is that comming from?
I would like to put a custom rom or upgrade to android 6 if possible, strangly google doesn't find anything for this tablet

Hey man!
the Vtab 1008 is a decent tablet for what it is built for: entertainment and light games. Now, about your question. A custom ROM (Read-only Memory) or os (which is always android) can be flashed to the vTab 1008 as long as it is rooted. It needs to be rooted to flash a custom recovery image which is an unlocked bootloader, which can flash new versions of android to the device. The new 1.5 OTA update blocks root, and there are only a few people making efforts to get the tablet rooted. Now for the possibility of honeycomb (Android 3.0). The vTab has a single core Marvel series armada 1gHz processor with some decent graphics capabilities (we see this when it plays HD video without a hiccup). Most tablets that are honeycomb capable have dual-core processors. Now i believe that honeycomb WILL run on this tablet with some optimization including:uncompressed images,and custom launcher (maybe?). But before we can worry about this, we really need root on the new update. hit thanks?

We have honeycomb!!!!!
Trying root...
hello guys,
Before my tablet updated, i tried to get ADB working on it but my computer hates ADB drivers lol. NOW ATTENTION!!!!! If your tablet has yet to update to honeycomb, PLEASE pull update.zip from it before it reboots! If you can get me that update file, i can improve on it greatly. Also, I really want to get root on this thing, so we can get cwm on it. Once we have a custom recovery, we can build a pure AOSP rom on it. I don't care, i'll resize everything, and get the vendorid files, and build a ROM, but we need root and CWM ported. Keep the momentum guys.
BUMP
Has ANYBODY PULLED THE UPDATE.ZIP????
Through a series of PM's I have confirmed my doubts, there is most likely a security check that is REALLY low level. We will most likely not be able to flash a custom ROM without the ROM being signed by Vizio with their private key. I've been trying for a long time with this tab, and I am getting exhausted with it. I have tried a custom ROM that i made and i get errors with cwm. Kaos420 has experianced the same thing. I have updated to 3.2 and root is no longer possible..........not at this time anyway

Hi,
i own the same one. Still have no problems with it. The only thing i was wondering about ist an preconfigured Skype Account i can not delete. I tried to reset to factory settings but it did not work. I really would like to delete this Account or better reset the model to have a clean version of android on it. I am still looking for a matching rom. Did you find one?
The firmware you can download here
enybox.com/En/news/class/
can you tell me how you reseted your device. there is a smale hole on the right side for reset but when i push it nothing happens and when i try to install the mentioned firmware it is saying no new firmware necessary.
Would be nice to get some answers.
Good luck so far
Sorry, I have recived one second HD2 and works worst that the first one at last I have my money back and buy one Rikomagic 802IIIS. There is one HD2 dual core that maybe works... to reset you have to download firmware from veidoo and follow the instructions, you will need one microSD greater than 2GB. But I think that Skype kepps the same. Hope you will have more luky that mee!
I bought ViewPad 10s tablet a while ago and I never used it till now. Only this week I started to use it, but I realized that it has very old OS android 2.2. And it does not even have the google play. It has only 256 MB free space.
I would really really appreciate if one of you (android guru) help me to get the tablet to the latest OS. Otherwise its really unusable
thanks

You are able to install a custom rom like Vega; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397204 . There are newer os versions available, but I would not advice to go any further than ICS as the device is quite old and the specs just won´t run the newer os versions smoothly. ICS will already get your device compatible with alot more apps than froyo.

Good Evening/Hello/Hi,
I own a Huawei MediaPad 10 Link Plus(16 GB) and I am running stock OS (Android 4.2), unrooted. I am a total stranger when it comes to upgrading OS through bootloader, but I have successfully rooted a phone once, a very long time ago ( but I had no idea what it did and I don't remember how) . So I would like to ask for help on how to upgrade tablet's OS to the newest version that is possible on this device ( I mean it's got 1 gig of ram and a quad core cpu, we can get more juice out of it can we?). I can find a bunch of useful information here, but it seems I am having a hard time finding specifly what I need to accomplish my task. I know that the newest version that's officially possible is Android 4.2, but an unofficial version can be even higher right? The stock OS seems to be super laggy and filled with bloatware and an ugly UI.
I would like that the new OS would be as close to stock Android as possible.
Thank You
I tried to find a custom ROM, but it seems as if there are none really. I also read somewhere that it is not possible to even root the device, so you may have hit a bit of a roadblock. The best thing you can do is install a custom recovery and try to build your own ROM (I know, I know). You'd have to do quite a bit of work since there aren't many files available out there for the device.
This is probably a long shot but I'll try....
We're rolling out some bedside entertainment tablets but they arrived from China (ELC) with Android 7.1.2. We need them running at least Android 11. We've reached out to the vendor that sold them and have been getting the run around for months. They tell us it's possible but they're waiting on ELC to provide the update. I've gone to ELC directly as well but nothing there either.
Since these are based on a RockChip 3399 chip (I have root and an unlocked bootloader) is it possible to upgrade these on my own with a stock image? I honestly have no idea if this can be done but figured I would try here for any input. We're really having a hard time with both companies...
Thanks for any help!
To clarify things: Stock ROM is the ROM that comes with device when getting released / shipped. You've to flash a suitable Custom ROM by means of a matching Custom Recovery in order to ugrade current device's Android.
Did you ever find a suitable custom ROM? I have no idea how to ‘match custom rom recovery’. Everywhere I look seems to talk about radio units. I have a tablet too and it has NO discernible device name or model that is recognisable .. tried to download a rom or two and they don’t finish pushing through ADB so I’m assuming I need the right ROM..
