[Guest mark newton]

I came across that and solved it by first going into r2 USB drivers folder and extract the USB zip. Then go to device manager and right click the USB driver your previously installed to update to v1.04 and click update driver. Then click to locate driver manually and browse to the r2 folder. This should then overwrite to the new driver. Then install the window.bat file and that should be it.

Well it worked for me anyway.

Thank-you i have been trying to do this for some time.This worked a treat. cheers

Did you follow the full update instructions?

[Guest mark astill]

Solved it

its the way microsft handles usb devices.

Extract Pauls USB driver

Install the usb driver by clicking on the usb connected icon in the system tray with the device connected.

The installation will install more than one android device

Then Run CMD

Cd to directory you downloaded his update to

Run install-windows.bat

Volia.

Any questions ask me.

Have to have tea now!

Hi uncle Bob,

Thanks for your post. I found it very helpful, but unfotunatley I gave not been able to get it working. I have other issues with getting the standard USB drivers update from my advent Vega which won't instal & other dowloads seems to disappear from the downloads menu, but that's another issue !

Anyway If I can detail the issues I'm having, then hopefully you can point me in the right direction, as I think I'm very close. I have managed to locate the files in device manager under USB controllers and when I loaded the Paul's drivers as you suggested, it is now showing as a Nvidia android composite device.

When I try to type the command instructions (due to my serious lack of understanding re synytax etc...) I get these mesages :

C:users\gale\cd advent... I get the message : the system cannot find the path specified.

I then typed in C:users\gale\advent\171210-0546-r5-vega-modacocustomromaddon-signed-MD5-471c403eef031f3fb40eb85b6b9fd7fc

and got the same 'is not a recognised command........

I then typed in instal.windosw.bat ..... got the message ' instal is not a recognised..........

Apologies for my lack of knowledge.

I have paid my subscription and have been trying this for over a week without success. I've been tempted to send back to PC World, as in the current state (triple letter issue, pictures keep crashing, dowloads won't work etc..... I think I'm very close to returning the device (or sell on e-bay for a profit !)

Please Please Please help me :)

Hi Mark

You need to find where you have extracted Paul's files. In windows explorer find the directory that contains Paul's install-windows.bat file. In the address bar at the top you will find its location, i.e. C:\users\gale\advent\171210-0546-r5-vega

Then go to the command prompt by selecting 'Run...' from the Start Menu and typing: CMD

On the command line type: CD\

Then type: CD C:\users\gale\advent\171210-0546-r5-vega

(or whatever the location was you found above - a little tip here is that once you are halfway through typing it out you can press TAB to auto finish)

The command prompt should then say: C:\users\gale\advent\171210-0546-r5-vega>

To which you type: install-windows.bat

And all will be happy in life (or not)

Sorry if this sounds condescending in any way but is it not meant to. I just wanted to explain as simply as i could.

[Guest arad85]

Mark,

The typos are all on the commands you were typing. You get one character wrong and it won't work. For example instal.windows.bat won't work because it HAS to be install-windows.bat

You also have to be in the correct directory (with install-windows.bat in) for it to work.

Thanks Sephwhy, not condescending at all : I'll try later and let you know how I get on. I have been a little frustrated by some niggling problems with the Vega and lack of official support from dsg, but will no doubt resolve with the kind assistance of this website. Cheers m8 Mark

[Guest greenie-uk]

All I did once drivers where installed was right click the install-windows.bat and ran as admin. Worked fine!

[Guest bearded1]

me too, i just double clicked on the batch file at it went without a hitch - after lots of usb driver shennanigans that is.. :)

Thanks arad85, point noted I'll be careful to use the correct terms ps only kidding re e-bay. Love the vega but lkg fwd to 'smooth running' & end to frustrations. Happy days :) help is much appreciated thanks to all

[Guest monkeydrufy]

sorry guys,

I have in this moment the modaco rom 1.04

Can I flash directly tthe new rom based on 1.06.5?

[Guest warriorscot]

@Mark

If you are new to using the command line there are two easy tips that save a lot of hassle.

1. If you want to get to a specific folder but are struggling to change the directory to get there just go into your C:\Windows\System32 folder in an explorer window then find the cmd.exe program then copy it and place a copy into the folder you want to reach. Then whenever you double-click and open that copy of cmd.exe it will open inside the directory it was placed in so no need to change directories.

2. Make use of the auto-complete option in a lot of instances you can just hit tab and the command line will either auto complete what you were typing or cycle through options till you find the one you want. So for example if you type "install" then hit tab it will auto complete the first file that contains the phrase "install" if you hit tab again it will go to the next one and so on and so forth until you get the one you want. Saves lots of basic typo errors from happening.

[Guest ssmithri2]

Just found this forum... I have a viewsonic tab running a different Vega rom...

But I thought I would offer up something that I did to get my Windows 7 64 bit machine to recognize the tablet.

I installed this program... http://www.junefabrics.com/android/ ... (have used it for a long time on my Nexus One... and have never had another driver issue.

You can probably uninstall after the driver install, or buy the paid version if you own an android phone :)

[Guest Toxophilite]

For those that offered to help:

I am running Windows XP:

I have downloaded and flashed the 1.06 on each of the 3 vegas without any probs.

I chose my apps boxes on Pauls ROM on page 1 and baked it, then placed that file onto my desktop.

I extracted the USB file from the bake, unzipped it and again placed the file on my desktop.

I turn on the Vegas de-bug, connect the USB cable to the laptop and Vega and in Device Manager, uninstall the mass usb storage device and the Nvidia Harmony devise in disks.

I then go to the top of device manager were the name of my computer is, right click and select check for hardware changes.

I am then asked to install file, which I manually select, pointing to were Pauls unzipped USB file is on my desktop.

This works as the disk then identify as a ADP but immediately windows again asked for another file.

Despite opening the baked file and clicking on windows -jnstall.bot apart from a quick flash, nothing.

So I do the same only this time chose have disk and insert by cut and pace the files link name of Pauls Baked ROM on my desktop, again nothing happens.

I feel I am not far from cracking it but am slowly losing the will to live.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi landofhope and glory.

Just come across this post by you.

I think that you were almost there with your procedure.

However

'I am then asked to install file, which I manually select, pointing to were Pauls unzipped USB file is on my desktop.

This works as the disk then identify as a ADP but immediately windows again asked for another file.'

Don't know if you realised that within the unzipped USB there is another zipped file containing drivers, which ALSO has to be unzipped into the same folder

I think that this is why you were being asked for another (driver) file, and it couldn't be found.

Hope this helps and that you do get Paul's mod installed OK. You won't regret it - it turns the Vega into a really special and useful tablet.

Oh what fun!!!!

USB drivers- grrrrrrrrr!!!

I am trying to install the prebake MODACO custom ROM (to evaluate before deciding to keep Vega and go for full r5 ROM).

I have Windows 7 32 bit Professional. I have fully unzipped (double unzip) the USB drivers and tried to install them. Initially I got the message that the installed drivers were up to date. I have now moved past that and using the "have disk" option but I now get the message " The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32 bit systems."

I am pretty sure it is unpacked properly and I have unpacked it to two different locations with the same effect. I am sure I am pointing at it correctly as when you open the USB folder it identifies the filename as "android_winusb.inf". The device I am trying to install the driver for, appears under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" as "Unknown Device".

I have tried all the suggestions in this forum but still stuck. And I thought I was very experienced with computers!

What am I doing wrong. Suggestions please.

Hi tech_fox

I have installed the Modaco ROM on a Vista machine and also on a Windows 7 32 bit machine.

First of all I performed the (double unzip) of the main zip file which I downloaded from Modaco.

All the unzipped files were put into a folder (called 'extractedfiles') on my desktop.

I then copied this folder into the root folder of the C: drive (for easy access from the Command Prompt - see later)

The contents of this folder are shown below.

I first set the VEGA to USB debugging mode.

Then when the Vega USB connection was made to the PC, the following new items appeared in the Windows Device Manager:

Under Disk Drives:

NVIDIA Tegra2 USB Device

Under Other Devices:

NVIDIA Harmony

Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers:

USB Composite Device

USB Composite Device

USB Mass Storage Device

The NVIDIA Harmony device was flagged with a ! showing that it did not have the right driver.

Right-clicking on this device gave the option to update the driver.

Then browse to the extractedfiles folder on the desktop, and the driver should be found.

The 'Windows can't verify the publisher' screen can be ignored, and the driver installed anyway.

After the driver is installed, the Device Manager screen can be refreshed if required.

( Done by right-clicking on the top level 'Computer' entry in Device Manager, then clicking 'Scan for hardware changes')

The NVIDIA Harmony device should disappear, and 2 new entries should appear:

Android Phone

Android Composite ADB Interface

Then in Windows 7 go into Accessories - Command Prompt.

Type in:

cd c:\extractedfiles then press ENTER (this gets you pointed to the correct folder) - Note there is a space between the cd and c

install-windows.bat then press ENTER

to copy all relevant Modaco ROM modifications to the Vega.

Hopefully all will go well.

BTW before doing all this, you perhaps should uninstall the 'Unknown Device' in Device Manager ( By right-clicking and selecting 'Uninstall')

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone, complete newbie just spent hours and hours trying to get Paul's bake to work and yes it is awesome so thank you!

I have a problem though - on my laptop running vista home basic i couldn't remove the original (myadventvega.co.uk) usb driver in device driver which meant i couldn't add the bake. I had to use my wifes little netbook running windows 7 in order to install the proper driver and then transfer the bake. I'm sure that makes sense to someone! If/when there's an update and i need to connect again I would like to do it on my laptop so does anyone know how to completely remove the existing driver - i have tried everything i can think of but every time it re finds the driver and doesn't let me change it. I'm probably being a complete tool but if anyone can help i'd appreciate it - Thank you! :)

Just a quick note for windows 7 (and Vista) users - you can hold down the shift key and right click on the directory to get an option to "Open Command Window Here" - so it then doesn't matter where you have the files. (Also available as the cmdhere.exe 'Power Toy' for earlier windows versions)

Don't forget you have to have debugging turned on in the Vega for the debug driver to be recognised...
