Can't connect my viewpad 10s...unknown device problem

[vlaskalic]

Ok...here is my story. I have a really big problem. I have the 10s(same is the advent vega) for about 3 weeks and i couldn't manage to connect it to my computer. I bought a male to male usb cable and when i plug in the tab and do the 2 sec back, 2 sec power thing my computer sees the tab as a unknown device. I tryed all the usb ports on my computer and nothing. I have xp but i tried on two other computers with win 7 and the same thing. I tried to update the driver from device manager ...tried to uninstall and search for new device and the same thing. I tried everything.... read all tutorials tried every usb driver... I ''broke '' my tablet and it won't boot now ...the backlight just starts and it turns off.So I need to connect my tab now badly.... so if someone could help....

Once more.....things i tried:

every usb port on comp
diffrent windows and computers
usb driver update
audi
vega tools
10000000 times to get in to the recovery mode (hoping that the comp would show the apx device)

I didn't get a usb cable with my device so i had to buy one..i found a male to male cable


So if anyone knows a way to help me with my unknown device problem... please do... i'm really sad that my tab is ''dead'' have it for a couple of weeks...

Do you have the device USB drivers?
I can send you the drivers and you can try to see if it works with your device , Not sure if it will fix the problem but you can try.

PM me your email and I will send you the file

Have the right drivers and tried to manuell select the drivers, but it won't work, see screenshot

I had the same issue, BUY ANOTHER CABLE, IF POSSIBLE DIFFERENT BRAND.

That solved my issue, believe it or not the cable was broken. This will work in case you have all the drivers and entered into recovery mode correctly.
Give it a try.

Hi!

I used to have the same problem with my Viewpad 10s whenever I came from stock version. What I found out was that the driver for advent vega must be a bit different from viewsonics.
Try to use the ones on viewsonics site and then try to flash...

...if not maybe its really a cable problem!

Cheers
