Guest winterknife Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you are having problems with installing the correct drivers maybe you should try this link http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...iver-installer/ It automatically sorts out and installs the correct drivers, I haven't used it but many on these forums recommend it. Tried that and it is still showing up as wrong drivers installed! I am at a loss, I know I a ding the button press correctly as the usb indicator sound on my laptop sounds off and the screen remains black. Has anybody got a link to 1.6?

Guest Adam:) Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Na, the apk is there (I reinstalled it and rebooted but still no joy), i'll reflash the full 1.7 and edit this post (avoid the clutter), it should fix it (this wasn't a 1.7 issue I had it in 1.6 as well so figured I'd messed something up). Simple run down and checks 1) make sure you have at least 30MB of internal memory free, have a look in titanium backup or something similar. (If you want to restore) 2) download Newbe5's new stock image (it has it's own thread) 3) boot into cwm and create a nandroid backup, shouldn't be a problem restoring 4) put the vega into NV recovery (back-power/back-back combo) 5) connect the usb and run the modded stock image (with nice newbe5 icon) 6) reboot vega and reboot into CWM (preinstalled on modded stock image) 7) restore 1.6 data (or select full 1.7 image) 8) if restored 1.6 (I'd reboot first then boot back into CWM) select 1.6 to 1.7 patch and update 9) enjoy the new boot screen (seems a bit of a shame as now it's more stable there'll be less need to reboot/switch off) woaaahh hold up. ie number 5) do u need to run it? so like double click and click run? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say "showing up" what do you mean by that? Have you looked in Device Manager? If so, how is the Vega described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panayioti Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Oh my god this update is faster and more stable than any other update. Thanks a lot Newbe5 and other supporters of Vegacomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xathras Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks a lot. I had a "wobble" and was scared of bricking my Vega. In the end i just bit the bullet and installed the new stock ROM (easy enough), then rebooted into CWM and applied the full update. Only thing I was missing was the Nandroid backup, i don;t seem to have that :huh: Instruction on installing / using Nandroid would would useful. Thanks to all for your help, and super special thanks to Newbie, Brucelee666, Rebel etc for their dedication and hard work on this great ROM. Thanks guys :blink: A "nandroid backup" is simply the backup that clockworkmod makes (clockworkmod -> Backup and Restore). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly the simple answer that i was hoping for. Thanks very very much for that, i will know for next time and not have to reinstall everything :blink: Many many thanks again to the posters on this forum, so very very helpful and supportive :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaxiP Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Have a try at advanced restore to restore each part separately to see if you can pick up which MD5 sum is corrupt (you may be able to save /data) I tried system & another (can't remember) and they gave MD5 error so bit the bullet and relashed & re-installed. Now for an evening watching a movie & configuring Vega (with increased system partition so I can try VegaComb at another date). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adam:) Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Can anybody quickly go through the procedure of flashing the modded stock? do i neec to run it? cos i cant flash it normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Panayioti Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Can anybody quickly go through the procedure of flashing the modded stock? do i neec to run it? cos i cant flash it normally. Basically turn Vega off and then put it in recovery (2 secs back button hold while pressing power button only for 2 secs, then let go of back button. Only sign that you are in recovery is that you see a blue light under the camera and to see tilt Vega 160° or so.) Then just run the .exe file. Wait and then your done :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HypoTurtle Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Can anybody quickly go through the procedure of flashing the modded stock? do i neec to run it? cos i cant flash it normally. As i said in my previous post all you need to do is have the vega in NV recovery (nothing on screen, but should here PC beep to isntify that it knows something is connected) and run/open VegaModdedStock_v1.10.exe, it'll extract, then run a command prompt and try to connect to the vega, when it will then start flashing the modded image. Edit: I tried system & another (can't remember) and they gave MD5 error so bit the bullet and relashed & re-installed. Now for an evening watching a movie & configuring Vega (with increased system partition so I can try VegaComb at another date). At a guess I'd say that somehow the backup got corrupted as it isn't working on the stock 1.10 either. Edit again: Newbe5 what apps were/should be missing, I haven't noticed anything going walkabout. And Panayioti, I have yet to get Titanium backup to work properly (haven't paid for it yet cus i want to make sure it works first), any tips you can give me of where I'm going wrong; can't change backup directory - it just causes it to freeze and then requires a FC.

Guest xathras Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) I know this is a little off topic but I'm in need of a some light relief (beginning to lose the will to live). About 30 years ago there was a story in the Guardian computer section (those were the days) concerning a Microsoft telephone support tech. who received a call from a user who was trying to install a new version of MSDOS (3.3 if I remember correctly). His question was this: "The computer screen says please wait - how long should I wait for?". The tech asked :"How long have you been waiting?" Came the reply: "3 days".

Guest chaosss Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Guys, I know you are probably all sick of answering install questions but I can't get this to work. The process I have been trying 1) Install stock ROM....works fine 2) Install ModdedROM via nvflash.....works fine 3) Boot Vega, run through language settings etc and select recovery to boot into CWM 4) Remove USB cable. 5) Perform system wipe/refresh 6) Delete Davlik data (or whatever it is called) 6) Choose install update from SD (full version 7)...seems to work fine. Get the message enjoy Honeycomb. 7) Hold down power button for 8 seconds....it turns off 8) Turn it back on and nothing...just a lit screen even though I have waited for ages (10 minutes or so). I had problems installing the Corvus5 ROM...whatever I tried it just didn't boot however Pauls R8 ROM worked perfectly for me. Any thoughts on the above process?

Guest winterknife Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 When you say "showing up" what do you mean by that? Have you looked in Device Manager? If so, how is the Vega described. Thanks for the help, I got it sorted ........ the hard drive in my laptop was the issue. Switched computers and voila. Very impressed by 1.7. great job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
