Viewsonic Viewpad 10 Android 2.2 Update
Viewsonic has finally rolled out Android 2.2 update for their ViewPad 10 tablet. This tablet originally came with Android 1.6 operating system and its company has made its user base wait for quite a long time for an update. While we strongly believe that the company should have blessed the users with Honeycomb, it is still nice to see that the users will be atleast be able to view flash content on their tablets. Here is a step by step instructions on how to get the update on your ViewPad 10.
* You will require a 1GB USB Drive
* Then you will need the UNETBOOTIN App to create a bootable USB drive from an ISO file. Download it here:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/549/unetbootin-win-549.exe?r=http%3A%2F%2Funetbootin.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1302711528&use_mirror=cdnetworks-us-1
* Then download the Android 2.2 ISO file for ViewPad 10 from here: http://www.viewsonic.com/ISOs/p10t-V2.2-1.4_viewsonic_dual.iso
Now, we will create the USB Bootable drive:
Insert your USB drive and run UNETBOOTIN. Select Diskimage and ISO >> Click the browse button and find the ISO file you just downloaded. Make sure your USB drive is shown and selected. Click OK and wait for the ISO file to be flashed.
Now, we will update the operating system on the ViewPad.
Insert the USB Drive and a USB Keyboard in to the ViewPad 10. Make sure that the AC Adapter is connected to prevent sudden loss of power. Turn it on, click F11 on the keyboard. Select your USB Drive on the next screen and hit Enter key. Select “install to hard drive” on the Android install screen.
Select SDA1 Linux and EXT3 format. Press Yes on the next screen. Reboot when the process has completed.

This one does not require you download huge SDKs or anything of that sort (like this Motorola Xoom Root guide). Follow this guide very carefully:
First, download motorola drivers (all links given at the bottom) and install them. After that, download RootMyXoom and unzip the file. Go the folder you just unzipped and run the RootMyXoom.03.exe.
Before we proceed ahead, make sure you have your data backed up on your PC because rooting with One Click Root will erase everything on your Xoom. Backup done? If you running the 3G version of Xoom, click on “Root My Xoom” button.
If you have a Wi-Fi only Xoom, click on “WiFi actions..” tab and then on “Root My WiFi Xoom”.
Simply, follow the instructions on the screen. In the end, you will have a rooted Motorola Xoom. Also, you will be happy to know that SD card patch is applied automatically and you will be able to use SD card just the way you use them on other Android phones. No need to separately apply the Tiamat kernel patch (aka XOOM SD patch) I mentioned yesterday.

To fix the nasty problem, all you have to do is use the kernel ‘Tiamat’ (v1.3.0). This will add support for the slot that can be found in the SDcard2 root folder.
We have been told that the official fix is in the tunnel and will be released in ‘few’ weeks. Wow, that is gross.
Anyway, here are the instructions on how to install the new kernel. Of course, before following these instructions, make sure you have rooted your Xoom. Feel free to follow my Xoom Root Instructions guide.
1. Reboot into the bootloader by running:
adb reboot bootloader
2. Flash the boot image to your boot partition, then boot back into Android by running:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
3. Push the bcm4329.ko, scsi_wait_scan.ko, and any other modules to your /system/lib/modules folder and reboot.
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
adb push scsi_wait_scan.ko /system/lib/modules/scsi_wait_scan.ko
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko
adb push vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab
adb reboot
After this kernel patch, you will be able to expand Xoom’s memory to up to 64GB (built in 32GB + 32GB via microSD). Would not that be cool?

However, you can squeeze out more functionality out of it by rooting it. This will allow you customize your Android phone to your heart’s content. Follow my guide to root it:
To do this root, you will require a windows computer with your phone drivers installed and working. You also need to set up ADB on your computer. Feel free to follow my ADB setup guide for that.
Download exploits.zip from here and extract its contents to the ADB directory. Then download PG05IMG.zip (for that, download this and rename it to PG05IMG.zip). Then when it asks you to put the PG05IMG.zip RUU on the SD card, download this. This is somewhat confusing to have two files with the same name in the end but if you accidentally flash PG05IMG.zip (the one originally named that) first then you may have some issues. Just follow what I said and you should be fine.
Note – You also need to make sure that your Thunderbolt is running 605.6 or 605.9 Firmware. Here is the link to it.
Now, the final and the most important step – download the oneclickroot from here and execute it on your computer using ADB. Yay, you have successfully rooted your Thunderbolt. Pat yourself for all the hard work you did.
