Fastboot Mode Flashing Methode
Flashing process with fastboot mode is more easy instead using flash_image methode.
You just need fastboot and adb binary, you cen get here: View attachment 605489
But, this methode just available if you have the working system..
this is the step for flashing recovery, boot, system, etc. with fastboot:
go to command prompt and type:
Code:
[B]adb reboot bootloader[/B]
and your device will reboot to fastboot mode.
After that you can start to flashing what partition do you wan't to flash, example:
Flashing boot:
Code:
[B]fastboot flash boot boot.img[/B]
Flashing recovery:
Code:
[B]fastboot flash recovery recovery.img[/B]
Flashing system:
Code:
[B]fastboot flash system system.img[/B]
Make sure you type the right partition name and right *.img name..
Or you can use the flash_image methode in your device, you can get here:View attachment flash_image.zip
For the people that have problem with custom recovery, you can flash the original recovey with fastboot mode.
here the original recovery file:
View attachment FM6-recovery.7z
Happy Flashing...

How does one determine which touchscreen is in the viewpad 7?
What are the changes with 2.2.1 and 2.2.2?

the newer device from Viewsonic that preinstalled android 2.2.2.
if your device is preinstalled 2.2 version, i think it's fine to flash with this firmware. sorry, i can post the link about changes of 2.2.2 version, i,m on phone.

Ok now I am confused. 1st post says newer devices are not working with this kernel. But you are saying viewpad 7 preloaded with 2.2.2 are the ones with newer screens... Not panjit ones, which were the viewpad 7 loaded with 2.2.1

so you can use overclocked kernel, and event actually your device is using ITE touchscreen, you can use the stock kernel.

Great to see more roms for this..
flashing now, btw - is there any easy way to navigate in the recovery menu.. it skips two options at a time.. plus back menu enabled and disabled is very erractic - or maybe im just not using it right..
Will update on how the flash goes.. im on a olivepad.. i hope this can give me ~800 quadrant scores.. because uptil now im stuck on ~400

Using stock 2.2.2 rom
Waiting for your CM7 porting including ITE touchscreen.

I also have this error. In Device Manager on the PC, is defined as a modem - is this correct? Or problem that is modified recovery? Much to ask the author to make update.zip. Thank you for your work and sorry for my english.

Nope. Could not manage to flash it. I too think it is failing because we are not on stock recovery. First time i tried to flash it, it restarted to recovery and got stuck there. After that i tried running the flashing tool when the recovery was on, and after 70% or so, it gave me this error.
Is it possible to get a update.zip for the same? Thanks!
