Inbuilt backup app failure (now fixed)

[Guest travisb]

Thought I'd do an application backup as I hadn't done one for a while. Entered the name for it, clicked done, and my screen froze (backlight on but did nothing else). Left it plugged in for a couple of hours but nothing happened, so tried entering recovery mode using the method mentioned elsewhere, but no joy.

Anyone else got into this hole and escaped?

Have been doing the following:

Hold down power button for 6 secs

Holding back button down, plug in charger until blue light comes on, then release back button

Hold down power button for 2 sec then hold down back button as well for further 2 secs

Let go power button, keeping back button down for further 2 secs

And repeat

Finally got it back into life:

Opened an XP VM on my Mac.

Copied the system USB drivers, a cooked ROM, and the Vega Helper app from This thread

With the Vega connected via USB (But not connected to either Mac or XP VM) and no charger connected then did the following:

Pressed power button for 6 secs to completely shut Vega down

With back button held in, plugged in charger

When charging light showed and with back button still held in, pressed power button, untill got Windows USB connection sound

Checked that NVidia recovery USB host was visible in device manager

Reflashed Vega image.

Disconnected from XP

Reinstalled cooked ROM from kitchen via Mac

And breathe :D
