Hi,there!
in the first place ,I should give special thanks to webmaster,because I spent many time to register a member of here,but failed,he helped me to make it!thanks!
I bought a chinese tablet ,viewsonic n710,it has similar hardware to n7,maybe I should say ,it's a fake n7.
nvidia t3 cpu ,and 1g ram,8g rom!but its' android version is still 4.04!and unfortunately ,because of the manufacture's reason ,I can not get any big update from them,they just released some patch for this product!
at the begining ,its' recovery was android backup <3e>,as we know ,it can not backup the whole system to external disk,hence ,I spent 3~4 days to naturalize cm recovery to my device ,and finally ,I made it!at here ,I must give special thanks to the author!:good:
here comes my question ,can I update kernal by myself?the first way I thought ,may I replace the kernal by n7's zimage?you know its' kernal version is 4.21 now?and will it work with my n710?
if not ,can I compile the kernal by myself?because I am a newbie with android system,I have no experience on such a project.some documents said that the hardware drivers is included in the kernal,is it right?if it's right ,that's to say ,what I do is only waitting for the manufacture's update?
the second question , can I naturalize n7 rom to my n710? because the system kernal is different.to be honest,and I have no idea about the cause of android boot now.and if it may .please give me some suggestion to do it.because there are little helpful chinese article on learning such technology in china!
appreciated you guys any help and reply!!:highfive:
and finally ,I am so sorry for my poor english!
I highly doubt the nexus 7 ROM will work on your view sonic. There's a lot of differences even though they have the same hardware. I wouldn't try putting a n7 ROM on it. There's a chance you could fry it. I had a view sonic tegra 2 tablet and I know how you feel. They never update anything.
The place to start is by looking at partition/ directory structure.. Im guessing your device is unlocked as you have a custom recovery on it.. If the directory structure is STOCK ANDROID as in 4.0 4.1 . There is a chance with some kernel tweaking you can get it ported. There will NO DOUBT be hardware to not work .
There is not a yes or no answer. Because it Can very likely be ported . its just about how much time you want to spend .And resources available for the hardware in your tablet..
So i would start by looking at the device structure. And compare hardware differences between the device such as wifi sound bluetooth and other hardware .
Its likely will cost you more and frustrations .then just buying a nexus.. But xda is all about what your asking..
GOOD LUCK if you tackle the project...

thank you guys for your advice in the first place!!
although I think that it's very challenged for me,but I still want to have a try first,even I can guess that I will be frustrated in the end!
nowadays my ieda is that don't modify any things on zimage,just simply naturalize the n7 rom to viewsonic n710!!
I think that there's a little chance for me if I keep doing on it!you know ,I am just a newbie on android system ,so in the first place ,I may lost way,
but it's no matter to me if I can learn something from naturalization.so I have decided to make it even I know that I will fail!
good luck to me!
Hi!
Would you be kind to explain me a bit more, what do you want to make with your tablet? Do you want to install nexus7 firmware on it or what?
By the way, do you know how to root this device?

i am very interested in your topic, because i have N710 too!
And want to know which CWM RECOVERY version can be installed? just download a last version?
Can the CWM recovery work right? such as BACKUP?
After analysised the OTA zip, i got some information but not enough.
maybe we can study together you can talk to me in vsset
sorry ,guys,I really did not know that there's some thread with my post after I didn't care this topic anymore,untill one guy sent private message to me,so I thought that should have a look to review !!

all what I want to do is updating to my tablet,of course I have ever installed nexus7 to my device,but failed,it's out of my poor ability on android system!root this device is very simple now ,there's some ways to root it ,you can search it on internet ,especially care the chinese website!

the cwm recovery is 6.1.1.19 ,and the backup function is ok,but I havn't tested restore function till now!!because my tablet still havn't bricked :laugh:I also have a member in vsset,but it seems that few people have enthusiasm on doing something on N710!!
a good news ,I BRICKED THE VIEWSONIC N710 IN INTENDED WAY!!!and used restore function to repair it,it works!!
the cwm group really did a swell thing to android system!!!thanks a lot!
I may release the cwm recovery in public way ,but it depends ,partly because we still have customer service if you bricked your device in negligent way or intended way!!but the main reason is because nobody published rom for N710!!!if you use this device in normal way ,it's hard to brick this device!!right???if you think that with cwm recovery ,your tablet will never be die ,it's wrong!!

you are master!

first of all ,I am no master!!
according to the reason I told above,I don't want to give viewsonic any reason to refuse repairing our n710 and update their rom with delay!
as we know, we still havn't perfect rom for n710,no matter 1.01 or 1.05,right?
if everyone has cwm recovery,when we blame the gps issue to them ,they may say "install 1.05",when we blame the power issue to them,"install 1.01,that's will be ok",what do you say then??
I think that you can understand it,right?of course I posted such a thread at here that isn't for boast,I really need others experience about naturalazing nexus 7 rom or cm10,you know, that's based on 4.1.x!
I also wish that I can make it ,and then I can do other things for myself,I really spent much time on n710 till now!!
if I knew that someone has made it,I will throw this project as soon as possible!
If you release the rom, we can try to transfer N7 rom to N710 together.

I am so happy that someone has the same thought with me!!
but because of my poor internet speed in china,I am afraid that I cann't!
the size of rom is about 850mb(if what I remember is right),it's a really big challenge for me to upload the rom!
my internet is wireless ,and the upload speed no more than 60k/s,and it's the common condition ,if the weather is bad ,the speed will be more bad!!
if you really want transfer N7 rom to N710,I think that you should not be messed by grabing rom from n710!!after all ,it's the first step you should do.right?
to my opinion ,to transfer n7 rom to n710 is not a good choice,though the hardwares look similar ,but in fact ,the touch pad,gps,camera and so on is totally different,I have ever flashed n7 rom to n710 directly ,but could not boot ,and it's the sure thing what I could image in the begining.and next ,I flashed modified rom which based on n7 rom to n710,still couldn't boot either!(of course,I may do many silly things on N7 rom modification,frankly,I am a newbie on android system) , but if you want n710 to have n7 operation interface(base on n7 rom but have n7 4.1.2 interface),just forget my words!I think that it's possible!
good luck if you really want to tackle it !guy!I also hope that someone can make it,because it can save my time.
and I am so surprised that foreign friends have interest on this device,because the device is not popular at all,even in china!

Viewsonic N710 Cannot start stuck at bootloader or on birsd image.
Hello Sir,
Pleae help me. I have Viewsonic N710 and it is not starting up. It only show the birds logo (logo of viewsonic).
I tried already the reset and all the reset option but its stuck on logo. It also show the dead android with triangle and ! mark.
Please let me know how to fix it.
I am new in android world.
Thank you very much.
Posted here as no one is answering in Original Sub Forum ,
Hello , I am a Noob ,
I have a few questions ,
My Device
Xperia Neo V
MT11i
Android Version:
2.3.4
Build:
4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel:
2.6.32.9.-perf ....... [did not write the entire thing]
I never updated it ,
Now , I want
1.Make a Complete Recoverable Backup of my Current OS (2.3.4)
backup my original firmware , and stock OS . So that if in future i want to go back to it , i can just use that to go back . (i hope i am able to make you guys understand)
As far as my knowledge goes , i should need TWRP Recovery , or CWM Recovery or something similar . Correct me if i am wrong .
2.Unlock the Boot-loader and Root it.
3.Install Last Officially available update , Manually and Try it out
Which is the last officially updated version available ?
4.If i Like it then OK , if not then
i will Install other Custom ROMs or CM13
Q1. i heard that Many Custom ROMs dont have FM and Camera Functions ?
Which Custom ROM has all the functionality as the Stock One ?
and is based on most updated version of android ?
5.KERNEL.
I just CANT understand this one , please help me understand it
Does any of the above need the kernel to be replaced ? by some other kernel ?
I dont have much knowledge of kernel
...................................
Other Questions:
1.Why we are Flashing both .562 kernel .587 kernel one by one ?
Shouldn't we need only one ?
2. Can i update to Latest ICS via PC Companion and then root it ?
Will it affect anything ?
3.
Quote:
Disadvantages
1. Warranty is void..gone.. ---------- No Problem
2. You cannot update using PCC or SUES( if you try them..then u'll get a message saying that the software is modified and it wont proceed) ---------- No Problem since no update will come in future
3. No more DRM(Digital Rights Management)..things like Trackid, music like..etc - I like TrackID , but TrackID works with any mobile isnt it ? so what will change ? in Track ID ?
And which Custom ROMs require Unlocked Bootloader ?
Does CM Require it ?
Please help how can i do these and please educate me about kernel too .
P.S.
I tried posting this before in the [NEO/V/L Q and A THREAD]HELP THREAD (N00B friendly) Thread but No One Replied
Very Sorry i posted it here
i already tried the other place
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...nswer-t3658062
I (still) own three of these phones: one MT11 and two MT15 models. They were good cheap phones. Sony is my favourite. Highly customizable. The dedicated forums are still available I think. The problem is that these phones don't have the ability to run modern applications. All the developers have moved on. If you don't need it as a daily use phone, it would be good to use it as a learning tool for flashing roms and skinning it. It takes a lot of time to read through all the posts. But the info is all there. Maybe someone will answer your questions sooner or later. Good luck with it.
U jst need to unlock ur bootloader and flash a custom kernel with recovey and flash ur desired rom ( there r some good one life miui v5 etc and aosp developement was prety good too at its time)
If u can manage to find the ftf files of orignal stock roms 2.3 & 4.04 u dont need to worry about any backup u can always roll backup to stock.
As far as my opinion go 2.3 is the best rom with good backup and smooth os battery suks on other roms.
Hope that answers ur questions
Currently my main problem is that the PC cant recognize the Mobile (Xperia Neo V)
the drivers that automatially got installed never gets installed without error and i still cant find out the reason , after a few tries now the dialogue box of installing drivers does not appear at all ,and the PC cant recognize my phone ,
Where can i get the best working drivers for Neo V ? (MT11i) ?
If any one of you have it please give a working set of drivers for PC Smartphone connectivity
and another odd thing that i noticed is that
the PC Companion that comes with the phone and gets installed when connected is
Basically as follows
Folders:
Languages - (28 Folders Inside)
Drivers - EMPTY
Graphics (2 Files - Graphics.zip, NewUI.zip)
Files:
Autorun.inf
Startme.exe
Is it same for you guys too ?
Why is the DRIVERS folder Blank ?
I think it should not be blank

There should be a drivers folder in the flashtool folder. Give THIS thread a read too as you're trying to run before you've even learned to walk.
