Guest beegee1962 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi I've just purchased the advent vega (love it so far!) and became a member so I could download the custom rom without ads. I have installed it with not too much trouble but I have ads! Did I do the download wrong (I did use the kitchen) or are ads appearing because I now have downloaded apps? Thanks stephen To get ads free Vega you don't need to become a member on MoDaCo. You need either adsfree from the market or change your hosts file on the Vega manually against one that blocks advertisment urls. ROMs like Corvus5 or mine have that hosts file included.

Guest LcfcUCIAN Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Hi I am downloading the r8, but for some reason i cannot find the android_winusb.inf file in there. I am not good/use to doing this so I want to make sure I am doing it right so I dont break my vega and give myself more to do if that makes sense? Any advice would be great. Thanks.

After downloading the r8 file, unzip it. You will see a usbdriver folder in it. In this folder is r1-tegrausbdrivers-modaco.zip. Unzip this and you will find the USB drivers.

Guest thedannydavies Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Hi! Just wanted to a huge thanks to you chaps for putting this together. After a couple of false starts (a PPC Mac and a Linux box I don't have admin rights to) I got this up and running in about 5 mins on an XP box. Massively impressed with just how much faster my Vega is now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moghm Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Apologies if this has been asked before, but I couldnt find the answer. I am currently running the Honeycomb alpha rom to see what it looked like. Obviously, development is ongoing and I would like to flash back to the R8 rom. What is the best way to do this if I want to do it as a clean install ? many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As spelt out by the guys developing the HC Rom, because it changes partition sizes, you have to do a complete flash back to stock. The easiest way is to follow the install instructions for 1.09 on the www.myadventvega.co.uk site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, i have tried to do this myself now several times but all attempts have been unssuccessful. Is there any chance that you could either give me some tips or some remote assistance. I am having trouble with unzipping the files for some reason. I am running windows xp if that helps to advise on unzipping the files. Thank you for any help you can give!

Nice thing is it lets you right click a ZIP file and unzip from the menu. Which file can't you find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna read through the guides tomorrow and follow it all step by step. I am going to restore factory settings and start from scratch. Will post what happens. Thanks for all your help guys.

When you unzip MCR, you will see a folder (doing this from memory) called USB Driver within which is a ZIP file, something like "tegrausbmodacao.zip". You also need to unzip this to get to the drivers. If you struggle with drivers, search for AUDI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timhow Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Firstly apologies if this is the wrong place to post this, but I just cannot get my Advent Vega upgraded. I'm following the pdf guide for Windows (Vista) from this thread and I'm getting the following error I'm following the process of putting the vega in the correct mode for a complete ROM rewrite using the new version from the "myadventvega" site - and I've attempted to install the new drivers (from the myadventvega" site) - but after installing these drivers, I get the following message once the driver has completely installed; "The following hardware was installed: Android ADB Interface The software for this device is now installed, but may not work correctly. This device cannot start (code 10)" - and I get the yellow triangle with eclaimation mark alongsode the Android ADB Interface in Device Manager. I thought perhaps the Vega was not in Recovery mode, but I have tried the sequence a few times and believe I have done this correctly. When I ignore this error and procced with the install of the the new ROM from the Adventvega site - using the cmd window, the port opens, provides minimal text in that screen, but just hangs ..... I may have missed a few points here - all help appreciated and if this needs to be in a new thread, please move this. I'm onoly really trying to add Android Market - but this is driving me crazy - please help :P Thanks Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your driver should also be ADB Composite Interface. Search for YAUDIG, AUDI and/or "what to do when your drivers are not correct". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MikePB Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hello, I got a Vega a couple of weeks back, which I would never have done without the option of putting this ROM on there to turn it into something useful. I have to say I was not disappointed, so huge thanks to everyone for a really terrific job! I cannot understand why the Vega is sold in such a crippled state, when it's capable of so much. On the upside for those in the know it's an absolute bargain :P To recent posts on drivers, I too struggled for a long time then found AUDI and it just worked first time, so check it out. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
