Apply a Factory Reset - (Step by Step with Images)

[DamnThoseWiffyDogs]

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate you trying... I've tried to get in touch with the manufacturer and everything, and they've so far been entirely unreachable. Looking forward to hearing back!

This might take a while. I am guessing I need to root it to make a back up image. I am trying to install Android SDK, but it's not seeing the Java.exe version that I have installed and creating an environment variable to "JAVA_HOME" doesn't fix it. :|

I looked at the information for my device and I have the following:

Model Number: SYNET7LP-DS
Android Version: DG2.20
Hardware ID: 12.7.0.12
Firmware ID: DG2.2.1-7C3.B5

Mr cfrockit, My SYNET7LP is history, but it's demise left an odd consequence.
After downloading the 52mb Rar! File to a blank SD, SYNET refused to boot.
I had used a Windows machine to get the file, but Windows could not open it or even reveal the file size.
After days of trying to reboot the SYNET, I bought an IVIEW 2.3
The IVIEW has an inoperative USB port and a keyboard to small for my fingers.
It occured to me that Android 2.3 might be able to verify that the 52mb SYNET file was present on the SD and intact.
Installing the SD into the IVIEW started an installation.
The IVIEW installed 2.2 for about 30 seconds before stopping due to "certificate problems".

The IVIEW has been poor ever since.
The updates for 2.3 will not install. Instead they open into hieroglyphics.
Any ideas?

Have you tried a hardware reset? Although, I'm not positive that it would work on your model.

Okay, so, as with everyone else, having issues with the tablet. Mine is a Sylvania 7". I held down the POWER and MENU buttons, got the recovery countdown to start, pressed MENU right away, and it gives me the "No recovery image is found, try recover from SD" error message. I'm running Android version 2.2. So, my questions are: Where do I go to get the download(s) for making my 2gbt MSD card into a boot disk, and how do I download the update onto the tablet once the SD card is ready? PLEASE!! Do not give me filler text. I just want step-by-step instructions without all the backstory and garbage that generally goes with these things. Keep is short and simple.
