How to Unbrick / Restore ViewSonic G-Tablet
Sometimes during heavy customization a device becomes unusable due to some firmware error or for the most part human error. In case of a Viewsonic G Tablet, we’re here with the solution that should work for most bricking cases. With this method, you should have your tablet back in its factory default condition.
Prerequisites:
- SD card
- SD card reader
- Windows/Linux PC or Mac
- (https://droidpiratefiles.com/gtablet/gtabletrestore(droidpirate.com).zip) ViewSonic G-Tablet Restore File
Procedures:
- Download the above mentioned restore file.
- Insert the SD card into the card reader and access it using your computer.
- If the SD card has any important data, save it to the computer.
- Format the SD card.
- Unzip the downloaded file and extract the ‘Recovery’ folder and ‘update.zip’ file to the root of your SD card.
- Power off your device.
- Press and hold the Volume Up button, then press and hold the Power button. You should see the ViewSonic boot image logo and the text ‘Detected Recovery Image’ on your tablet’s screen.
- Let the installation take place automatically. The device will reboot after completion.
Congratulations! Your ViewSonic G-tablet is now restored to original firmware condition!

This worked for me.
Don’t even try doing this!
It did not work, it actually bricked my tablet completely. Now when I boot it it just flashes an exclamation mark for a second and then just displays golden android letters and that is all. Now the tablet is truly unusable. Previously I could at least access clockworks but I had to remove it.
