iView Tablet
Reset iView Tablet
Recently, my friend bought a tablet, that was iView Tablet. One day, he changed the pattern lock and then forgot it. He tried so many times so that Tablet started asking for Signing In with the Google Account. He took the tablet and came to me. I tried filling his credentials but nothing works. Then i searched online and found no specific working solution for this. I also tried booting to recovery and then resetting but that also didn't worked because i don't know how to go to the recovery mode in that device.

          Then i tried one another solution of Installing ROM and it worked perfectly. So, as i've seen too many users asking for the solution to this, i decided to post a step by step tutorial. If you too accidently lost access to your tablet then you can also follow this tutorial to Reset or Re-Install ROM on your tablet. I suppose that this will work for every iView tablet. In my case, the model was 754TPC. So, lets follow the procedure to Hard or Factory Reset your iView Tablet. The process is very simple.

How to Hard Reset/Factory Reset or Re-Install ROM in iView Tablet:

  1. Go to this page and find the Firmware for your specific device model:
    http://iviewus.com/list.php?catId=257&f=
    If your device is not listed then try searching for your device's model in the top search box. In search results click on download tab. Now the 1st result will be like 'Firmware For 'Device Model' '.
  2. Click on that link to download the Firmware for your iView Tablet.
  3. As i mentioned above, in my case the Tablet was 754TPC, so i searched and downloaded the Firmware which is as a .Rar file.
  4. Now extract that downloaded files to a folder.
  5. One folder will be live suite pack and other will have boot img or .iso file.
  6. Open the folder saying 'Live Suite Pack'. Go to Live Suite Pack_v*** Folder. (Leave USB Driver folder as is.)
  7. Run this file LiveSuitPack_v1.07.exe.
  8. A security warning may come, click on 'Install this driver software anyway'
  9. Now run the file: LiveSuit.exe
  10. A pop up will come with two options. Click on 'No'.
  11. Click on First Icon and select the firmware file (.iso. file) that was in the extracted folder.
  12. Now Turn OFF your Tablet completely.
  13. Press and Hold Back Button and connect the tablet to computer via USB and simultaneously press Power button 7 times.
  14. Now a pop up will be shown on computer's screen. Click on 'Yes'.
  15. An another confirmation pop up will come, again click on 'Yes'.
  16. Now the tool will start formatting your iView Tablet. Wait for the process to complete 100%.
    It'll show a pop up when the formatting is completed. Click on Ok.
  17. Disconnect your Tablet from the computer and Turn it On. It may take sometime as it is booting for the first time.
  18. As you'll see, You have successfully unlocked your iView Tablet.

    @Anonymous.
    Well, it may take some time to complete. But in my case, it was not about 30 mins, it almost took 10 to 15 minutes to complete. I think you should try again and if still not working, then you should try it on other PC, or try updating your Computer with latest Updated drivers and software.
    I hope it will work.
    Thanks and Regards.

      Dear Kristine Solis,
      I am so sorry that it didn't worked for you. But i can't understand that Why it is not working for you. I've followed the same procedure and it just Worked. Actually i have created this Article about Unlocking or Resetting iView Tablet because i got Stuck and i was not able to find any Help Online. So, Please be sure that you followed every Step carefully. Please ensure that you Downloaded the Original Firmware File Completely.

    Worked for me! As a matter of fact I did this right after I opened the package because this firmware update is supposed to fix allot of issues with the 754TPC. anyone that is having trouble should recheck your steps and makes sure you do everything this post says, and if you still have a hard time try this link here ,,

    http://iviewus.com/download/754TPC_INSTRUCTIONS.pdf

    It has a pretty good explanation of what this article is talking about.

      Sorry Dear. I can't say anything about that. Because the Recovery Menu is in Chinese and not in English so i cannot understand and even not sure that this Tablet has any option for resetting from boot menu. Though, you can try the above steps on your friend's computer or Laptop or in some Cyber Cafe.
      It would be very helpful for readers if someone who knows Chinese can tell us about the Options given in the boot menu of iVIew Tablets.

      Dear Kerwin,
      I am really sorry that you are facing this problem. As far as i know, i would suggest downloading a new firmware file and then re-installing it. If your Tablet Model is different than what is mentioned in the post then tell me the exact model and i will see if there is a Firmware File for it.
      Regards.

    Excellent, very good contribution, for those who can not connect the tablet to the computer.
    Holding the back button, connect the USB cable then press the Power button until you see the message on the screen or pop, drop back and lit buttons and give if at 2 pop and begin formatting the tablet.
    At the end will see another popup window and screen Tablet iconode disconnected battery charging usb cord kindle tablet tablet tablet formatted and ready.

    Thank you so much, I have the 754TPC for my daughter. It was her birthday present and she hasn't played on it but maybe 3 hours since she got it in August. Then she comes to me and says "daddy, my tablet won't come on, it is stuck on this screen." I tried resetting it and just about anything else i could think of. I'm so glad i found this. After following all the steps the tablet booted up perfectly. Now, I just have to find all of her games again. Small price to pay though.

    I got these steps from tech support and it worked.
    1. Turn off the Tablet.
    2. Press and hold the "Volume+" key, at the same time, press and hold the power key, then release them till the yellow robot shows on the screen. As the picture shown below:
    3. Press "Volume-" key, choose “wipe data/factory reset”, then press power key to confirm.
    4. Press "YES-- delete all user data”, then press power key to confirm.
    5. Choose reboot system.
    The tablet will turn back on.

      Hello Manfred,
      I think you check if it is a software problem or a hardware problem. Try connecting to a charger or PC and see if anything comes up to screen. If nothing shows up then it is more likely a hardware problem in which case you should go for iView Support Center or some hardware mechanic.
      I hope your Tablet will work.

    I didn't take the time to read through all replies, but I have the solution to forgotten pattern & Account info. True the recovery menu is in Chinese but I figured it out so herd goes...
    1. Hold power & return until the tablet boots into recovery. ( all Chinese menu)
    **if your screen flashes the menu then good black, wait a few seconds, it'll show up again.**
    2. Press return then tap no. 2 option in menu.
    3. Tap the second option on the left side of menu. (Wipe data I assume)
    4. Tap green 'ok' (bottom-left)
    5. Hold power to reboot.
    That will restore tablet to out-of-box condition. Hope this helps.

    Simple reset for anyone who cannot connect to a computer. I have the iview 776 tablet, my daughter set a really long screen lock then forgot it right away. I simply help down the lock and power buttons simultaneously and let off ONLY the power button when it powered off to turn it back on. AS SOON AS IT STARTED POWERING BACK ONi pressed the power button 7 times, this will bring up a boot menu, I then selected factory reset, yes then reboot system now. This took literally less than 2 minutes and started fresh with no screen lock. Super easy and no computer needed. Thanks!
