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 !!

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!!

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!

While Oppo has been very supportive of the custom firmware community, their support has primarily been for devices newer than the Find5.
Find5 - Excellent support
R819 - Oppo has given developers a lot of support, but as it's MTK based, things are going very slowly still
N1 - Excellent support
R815 - This is the first time I've ever heard of this device. Sounds like it's another MTK6589 device... So if we ever have any better luck with the R819 there is hope for this device, but so far, the R819 has been a nightmare to work with despite Oppo's support thanks to MTK.
Hi,
i got a oppo R815 as well and i got some problem with the stock rom, accidenty the oppo keyboard have been deleted, meaning now i dont have any keyboard working on the phone, two questions, can you send me this file , i mean make a copy of the oppo keyboard then send it to me then i could put it back , or if you have an other technic i lesson to you.

Hi!
Can someone guide me little with rootting and installing new android on IdeaPad A1000L-F?
I've found a lot of guides, but none of those are for this wlan model only, I think? I would be so happy, if someone could tell me how and what can I do with this. Current android (4.1) is so outdated, that I cant stand this. And latest games don't even install on this version.
Thanks!
Edit: Got my tab rooted with one click root, but what now?
any help yet? i have same tablet and same question:silly:
Nothing yet, sorry. We'll see, maybe someone gives us a little advice soon. Hope so!
First, you'd have to port a recovery (cwm or twrp) to your device and fastboot flash it.
You'll have to use a repo for aosp, cm, miui, or other and make a rom.
The a1000l source code is available here: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/a1000_tablet?tabname=downloads
You will need that in your venture.
Unfortunately, this is just not a popular tablet. I bought one for my daughter and rooted it, but that's about as far as I will go with it.
Good luck!
It looks like recovery is already available for T, F, models. I'm not certain if this will translate over to G, L models or not:

I think this recovery is not compatible for A1000L-F 8Gb model?
Version of the A1000-F can earn. Use at your own risk, no one has tested it.

The only "custom" ROM I have found is just a modified version of stock. This means no version upgrade:

I am unable to get flashtool working from those threads and fastboot is not detecting the device in Windows or Linux. I was hoping to "fastboot boot recovery.img" in order to do some testing, but no luck right now. I'll mess around some other time...
I've got working CWM on my A1000L-F thanks to the links in this thread:

Lenovo has only released broken source so compiling 4.2+ will be too much of a hassle for an $80 tab that my daughter uses...
Hi,
a week ago I bought the following MK809IV TV stick and I bricked it without making a backup.
I need your help to find the right firmware for it.
External packaging is labeled MK809IV with a red slider.
Board version: H122V1.4 0422 without a NAND chip.
Label on the back: RK29_809_V1.0 221 # - HXB_19060601
Processor: RK3229
Board: rk30board
GPU: Mali 400 MP
RAM: 2Gb
ROM: 8Gb
WiFi: RTL8723bs
Original firmware was based on:
Version: Android 7.1.2
Build: hx322x_box-userdebug...
kernel version: 3.10.104
I tried to flash dozens of firmware, and the only one that actually works is:
rk3229_7.1_box_MX4VB_SSV6051p_SpecTek_flash-update_20171209
but it shows only 1Gb of RAM and does not have the WiFi.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks and regards.
Ok guys, finally I found a working solution for this TV Stick.
Let me share my solution:
Basically, as mentioned in the first post, I found a working firmware with no wifi and just 1Gb of ram: rk3229_7.1_box_MX4VB_SSV6051p_SpecTek_flash-update_20171209
So I continued to search for a different firmware and I found this one:
G809_3229_L_2G_8723_20180517_1451_2018070601
Unfortunately also this last one is not able to boot, but what I though is why don't try to flash this last firmware anyway and using the bootloader from the previous one?!!
So I have extracted the Loader, uboot and trust images from the first one (rk3229_7.1_box_MX4VB_SSV6051p_SpecTek_flash-update_20171209) and flashed over the already flashed second one (G809_3229_L_2G_8723_20180517_1451_2018070601) using RK_Android_Tool v.2.3.9.
Steps are:
1. Flash G809_3229_L_2G_8723_20180517_1451_2018070601 image using BatchTool and selecting "Restore".
2. Make a short with a paper clip to the pins 6-7 and plut the USB in the OTG port
3. Load the Working images: Loader, uboot, trust and parameter files to RK_Android_Tool v.2.3.9
4. Start the flashing
First boot required about 10 minutes.
The archive includes all the needed software for flashing, the firmware and the extracted working images for the bootloader.
Hope it can help others!
Enjoy!

MK809IV
Hi, I have the same device and I want to ask, shorting 6-7. What do you mean. Where and how to find these pins. How do I start flashing. I can ask you for a more detailed procedure. well thank you. when i held the reset button and connected via usb to pc so nothing happened. Thank you.
wow and cheers Found my "piece of crap^^" in a cupboard and just recognized, that google-login not been working anymore - so i decided to look for some "updates" .... theres really not only one ROM for it after 1 day of searching :/ ... tried out ARMBIAN - only 1GB ram recognized and only 1,2Ghz and nice to see Linux on it but Wifi too unstable and even with ethernet hard to use .... tried out Librelec - most plugins not working here in germany ... last but not least i tried out your courious method - and it works ... but had an 7.1 preinstalled and now dowgraded ... but working
Isn't it possible to match that two parts together in one ROM ? and maybe with a newer Kernel ?
If somebody finds a other working ROM for a RK3229 MK809IV 2+8 pls post here :/ - i'll have a look in some years again i guess
Nearly 4 years passed i'm still the only one, who has to thank you very much dear Goolpone ?!
K - n good morning^^ ... spent my night by seeing Programs not really loading and crashing ... rejoiced too early :/ Seeker (Soulssek client for Android) seems to be the only usefully working App :/ .. and the laggiest lags i've ever seen on a computing device the whole night long .... reflashing ARMBIAN now as the final state of my poor stick ... you can nicely watch the lags in system monitor graphs there and afterall it's not too bad .... but only for museum purposes^^ anyways regards to everyone stomping over here
... maybe last comment - Telegram working nice at ARMBIAN ... at least you can read your papers with it ... anyways armbian seems to be the only usefull thing you can do with that poor device ...
