r4 install

[Guest aintcrackedityet]

windows 7, 32 bit, r4 install

How do I carry out this insruction for the usb driver please prior to the r4 install.

Where do i look and what am i looking for in order to change.

What is the android developer bridge and why is it needed ?

quote,

•If you are using Windows, your USB 'Android Developer Bridge' driver MUST be the one included in this download (use 'Have Disk' functionality in device manager to change if required)

Thanks all,

I'll get it one day

First, using Windows Explorer you need to go to the folder on your PC where you unzipped the files from Pauls download pack for R4. In that folder will be a folder called 'usbdriver' and within that, one called 'usb_driver' and it is in this sub-folder where all the drivers you need are held.

If when you run the 'install-windows.bat' command as instructed nothing happens or you only get say a couple of lines of text displayed then you will need to do the following:-

Go to CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM>HARDWARE>DEVICE MANAGER and if you have the Vega connected by USB (with power on) you should see some new hardware called ANDROID PHONE and/or NVIDIA HARMONY. Right click on each entry and click 'Unistall' then go to the top of the list where it displays your computers name and right click on the entry and select 'Scan for hardware changes'. The Windows new hardware wizard will then pop-up asking if you have a driver disk or not. Say you have and browse to the folder called 'usb_driver' described above and select it. The hardware should then be installed with the correct drivers.

Repeat the 'install-windows.bat' command and hopefully this time a whole list of program output should appear showing it is working and in less than a minute it should all be done and your Vega will reboot itself. Then on Vega go into SETTINGS>ABOUT DEVICE and the Kernel Version should include the text ...v1.xx.... where xx is the level you are now at i.e. 04.

Note:- You may need to do the above with every new release as it seems to be the only way of updating the drivers properly unless someone else can tell us a better way

Once you have the correct driver installed, you are OK for all of Pauls releases so far. The driver is the same in all the Android 2.2 releases as it is a system driver provided by Nvidia for the chip in the Tegra. It may change with 2.3 or 3.0 but I'd guess the debug link is pretty stable now so I personally think it unlikely. The driver Paul supplies also allows you to update the flash from Advent. I think if you only installed this driver and completely forgot about the one on Myadvent, you'd probably be OK :)

I am having trouble with this too. I plug in the vega and it installs drivers for it automatically, But it doesn't appear any where in device manager other than as:

Disk Drive: NVIDIA Tegra 2 usb device

Portable device: Tegra 2 on UMBus enumerator

Neither of these recognise the driver in the usb-drivers file saying in both cases the latest driver is installed?

Please help otherwise my Vega is pretty crap without MoDaCo and the Android market
