Restore factory settings for a pendopad

I have resolved the pendo pad hard reset lack of procedure and can factory reset a pendo pad that is locked with a passkey or and password full factory reset


First download you pendo pad firmware from here

http://shop.pendo.com.au/index.php/su...

I used the generic firmware 1 download and it worked fine for the TPC7SlV
Then Extract the . img file to you computer

Then you will need the firmware update too called rktools found here

extract the zip file to your computer


Now your ready to flash the firmware

1. Power off your tablet with the switch
2. Turn the power switch Back the the on Position
3. Press & hold Side Button with the home picture also called the back/esc key
4. While holding, connect PC and tablet with USB cable (if tablet boot normally, try again)
5. Install the driver for your computer included in the RKtools Folder
6. Tablet should be recognized as "RK281X Device" in Windows
7. Start RKAndroidBatchUpgrade from rktools folder
8. In the bottom of the batch RKAndroidBatchUpgrade programme there should be a green light in the device upgrade area. * if there is no light in the upgrade area and all the numbers are grey then repeat the previous steps
9. Under the setting heading click and select the image file you downloaded from pendo ( will be a .img file if its a .zip file you need to extract it)
10.Click the upgrade button
11. wait till operation is completed

BAM Your pendo is password free, i hope i have created the best and easiest way to do this

***Please note if your wireless or Mobile network do not turn on then you have chosen one of the wrong firmware types from the pendo download site !!! the wireless and mobile network hardware are the only distinguishing features between the firmwares apparently******
