If you're having trouble getting into ADB mode after the 1.04 update, check out this topic.

Some progress ...

I downloaded a version of r2 from the kitchen (stock settings without the performance pack) and ran install-windows. Things went well until near the end - see below:

push: files/system/xbin/su -> /system/xbin/su

push: files/system/build.prop -> /system/build.prop

47 files pushed. 0 files skipped.

Setting permissions

Error: Could not access the Package Manager.  Is the system running?

Done, rebooting

However, the vega did re-boot this time and it appears to work. I am still a little concerned that it did not finish the final setting permissions or later steps. Should I try again?

BTW I still do not see any ADB in device manager.

Could you see the ADB in Device Manager then?

[Guest TylerDurdenK]

Just putting my ingredients together and wondered what use "Car Home" is on this device? It doesn't have GPS does it?

[Guest Pyr0x64]

Could you see the ADB in Device Manager then?

yup

[Guest unclebob31]

yup

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!

Thanks Paul excellent work

[Guest captainsensible]

Hmmm, I can't even see Android Phone in device manager!

[Guest Pyr0x64]

if you have no driver installed for it, it should show under "Universal Serial Bus controllers"

hi can somebody give me an idiot guide to what to type in the command prompt please, I have the adb installed and it shows up in the device manager as above, the update folder is placed on the windows xp desktop, every time i type in install-windows.bat i get =: install-windows.bat is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I know I'm doing something really obviously wrong but i dont use command prompts very often,

thanks in advance...

Nope it doesn't

[Guest captainsensible]

Those who have done it ok in x64, are you sure you've got x64? :P

Set device to debug

Connect the device

Microsoft will load its generic usb storage driver

Bottom left hand side in the system tray open the USB connection icon by double clicking on it

Select USB Mass Storage Device

Right Click on it

Choose Driver Tab

Select Update Drivers

Select No not this time click Next

Select Install from Specific Location

Choose Directory you unzipped Pauls USB driver too

Install all drivers when prompted

It will do at least two the second being the Composite Driver

Once finished

Start Run CMD

Then in the MSDOS window CD to Pauls update then run install-windows.bat

Volia

It is simply microsoft selecting the wrong driver for you.

Good luck

:P

Extract the update in a folder called Advent eg C:\Advent

Start ===> Run ====> CMD

When you open the MSDOS box the commands would be

cd Advent

install-windows.bat

If the USB driver is installed and the device is in debug mode then all will be well.

Good luck

[Guest Pyr0x64]

can't you just double click it then, or right click>open ?

[Guest TylerDurdenK]

Device is definitely in USB debugging mode as I can see the "beatle" in the status bar.

I've also replaced the USB driver with the one supplied in the .zip file.

In Windows Device manager, under USB controllers I see:

Android Debug Bridge Interface

USB Composite Device

USB Mass Storage Device

USB Root Hub

When I start "install-windows.bat" from a command shell (same folder as the scripts), I get the following:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon start successfully *

And then nothing. I appears that it's waiting for the Vega to respond indefinitely.

I also had this, and put it down to not having properly installed the supplied drivers.

I fixed it by going into the usbdriver folder and extracting the r1-tegrausbdrivers-modaco.zip file. Then updating the ADB Driver within Computer Manager. Hope this helps someone.

[Guest unclebob31]

Nope you don't

Did not say you did!

Microsoft disagrees with that. It assumes that it is storage (don't ask me why ask Bill!)

Thats why you have to change things through the USB connection icon and select USB Mass Storage Device

B***dy Microsoft never works just as you thought it should.

Good luck

Ok. Getting somewhere. Finally got r2 custom rom installed on 1.04 image. (ripped out everything and started again).

However, the BBC iplayer fails, no flash support.

I tried the following after installing r2:

adb-windows shell pm install -r system/etc/shuttle_priv/libflashplayer_froyo_gles2_20101019_v10.1.95.18_signed.apk

but I got the error:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

This is after a clean re-image to 1.04 with r2 custom rom installed.
