I got boot menu

When I move my Volume Up and down , to Select ,Cursor does't move but works fine with android app,It goes FTM MODE.

So I connected usb to pc from command prompt I used "adb reboot recovery",I selected update from sd,Tried to Install universal_gb_root.zip I get Error signature verification failed. but I am able to move the cursor in recovery mode.

I Tried All Methods after googling in the Internet .but device is working fine 100%.Please Help to unlock/root/bootloader also.

If you do so...
you will loss original firmware...(you will not get it back any way..there is no way).
you will not get separate ringtone for sim1 and sim2...


Ok the other way is flash with (xml_v350.zip) some file and
root with superoneclick...
thats it.

Now I have the original firmware and Root access...

Hi,
First you need to check any updates for your software...
Once it is updated you will have a file with .nb0 extension on your micro SD card.
It is used as a backup or original software.
Then you can go for ROOT your Phone.

You can find the forum how to root and download links are in
Startseite - Mobi-Forum.de
you have to use Google translator to translate it from German to English.

SRI.

I been following what SUN-Jack did in the german forum Viewsonic V350T (Viewphone 3) firmware 5057_4_39C with and without rootaccess (no SUT necessary) - Viewsonic - Mobi-Forum.de and it WORKED 100% for me...

this procedure is simple and worked 100% first time for me and finaly got my Viewsonic ViewPhone 3 V350T rooted 100%

BTW Yes Google Translate can help on this mainly German forum, but they been very opened to responding to english post and even better they been posting often in both German and english when they know english users are tracking a thread... great bunch of guys!
happy Camper!

Hi,

I have tried everything from above and i seem to be getting error after error. Is it possible to root android 2.3.7. I am hoping it is something small but i am not able to get passed this and it is really driving me mad, pleasehelp!

I really need to sort out my internal memory, it wont allow me move to sd and any app i download it requires superuser or root so you can see i needto get this sorted before i attempt to sor out my internal storage issue.

Thanks,

Aoife.

Hello people,

I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to root my Viewphone too (just now).
Sadly, most links are dead & the only thing I found was the firmware file by "jignesh81".
On that one, after rebooting in recovery mode etc, I got a message that the file was eighter wrong or corrupted.
Can someone provide me a good firmware.nb0 file? This phone is driving me crazy :/

Hope you get to read this.

Thx in advance!
Seveneke

Ps: Android version 2.3.7 - build 5057_4_39C
