Guest xaralam Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Hi I just bougth my pov tegra device I installed the advent 1.08 rom and pauls r7 update also. Everything works fine but when I shut down my device I lost the time and date settings do I have to use suspend instead of shut down. Is this normal ? Thanks Edited February 16, 2011 by xaralam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spachal Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 No, it's probably not normal. I bought a few days ago also POV, with fw1.08. I uploaded there Vega fw1.09 and then Paul's R8. After that, time&date is OK, after shutdown and power on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diazamet Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Hit this too - complete with scary booting... crash booting ... crash cycle but fortunately managed to grab the box with the Android tools and keep it nailed down for long enough to sort it. The Linux tools propogate the permissions across adb it seems, and the zip didn't have execute bits set, so the moment it pushed a shell without execute permission it blew itself up Suggested workaround: in the install-linux script chmod -R a+x files Alan I had this problem on Linux. Found there were some differences between install-windows.bat and install-linux.sh, so I changed the linux script. install-linux.sh PS. Is this the real (Linux) Alan Cox :-) Edited February 16, 2011 by diazamet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bones2k Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Sounds like your USB Drivers on the PC need to be re-installed try this :- First, using Windows Explorer you need to go to the folder on your PC where you unzipped the files from Pauls download pack. 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 'Uninstall' 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 im having a similar problem installing pauls download. Ive updated the drivers and if i try run the 'install-windows.bat' file i get the same message and if i go through a command prompt and run it from there it finishes saying 'adb-windows.exe is not recognised as an internal command....' Again im a newbie, what am i missing? Any help would be greatly received! Problem solved! thanx Edited February 17, 2011 by bones2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I uploaded there Vega fw1.09 and then Paul's R8. After that, time&date is OK, after shutdown and power on. I think the problem starts when I updated to Vega rom I will try to reflash with original Fw and I will check it out .By the way is it possible to install r8 over pov 1.09 fw assuming that we have solved the usb drivers problem ?

Guest clear sky Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Can't install anything because the drivers are not good for x64 operating system. Guess I have to do the installation at a nearby internet cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside Android Phone, do you see "ADB Composite Interface" or something similar. What happens whan you enter the command "adb-windows devices"?

Guest Dav0 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 This happened to me when my firewall asked for permission.

When i open the device manager i see "Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile device " Maybe i was mistake. Because i was trying driver inastalling at APX mode (device turned off and home and back switch pressed same time) My device have stock rom and there are no usb host slave switch application. Maybe before this rom update other rom for my device. If i'm wrong please show to me way of rom installation at APX recovery mode. Thanks for your quick reply.

Guest rferrett Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Anyone else having a problem with the web store not recognising your Vega with the R8? Most annoying as it is dead handy for downloading apps on mass for a new setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spachal Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 >Atilla Caginli: hi, I had the same problem (still have with my English :] and had with tablet too), I was unable to run R8 on my Win7 64bit os.

Guest beegee1962 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Can't install anything because the drivers are not good for x64 operating system. Guess I have to do the installation at a nearby internet cafe. Couldn't get my USB drivers working as well. If you have a WiFi on your home network then you can do it with WiFi ADB. 1) Root your device with VisionaryPlus 2) Get a ADB over Wifi app. I prefer ADB over Wifi Widget, but you can find several in the market. 3) Start the ADB over Wifi. Set it to use port 5555 and activate it. Remember the IP address that the app shows you. 4) Get the attached install-windows-wifi.bat 5) Copy the batch file into the folder where you extracted the ROM. There should be a install-windows.bat already. 6) Edit the batch file and check line 13 and change adb-windows.exe connect 192.168.1.15 to adb-windows.exe connect <YourTabIPAddress> where <YourTabIPAddress> is the IP address that ADB over WiFi told you. 7) With ADB over WiFi running on your device start the install-windows-wifi.bat That worked for me fine and together with QtADB I do not need anymore an USB cable. I start QtADB, set connection to WiFi and enter the IP address of my tablet.install_windows_wifi.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spachal Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I can confirm too that ADB is working right over wirelles network, I'm using ADB from Android SDK and app adbWireless from Market. It's not so fast as over usb, but I can use it in 64bit os :] .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rferrett Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Right do we know what the difference between CM7 and MCR8 is that means the volume issue is sorted on the Cyanogen mods and can this be implemented in the MCR ones?

The solution was a notebook with Win7 32bit, installation was without any problem (with attached drivers). For does having problems installing windows x64 drivers here is how I manage install in win7 pro x64. 1. download the Android development, follow the link till point 9, stop at point 10, so have download Google USB Driver Package. http://www.laslow.net/2010/05/17/android-a...-windows-7-x64/ 2. In order for x64 system to recognize your diver you need to modify the android_winusb.inf, follow this link http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/enable...ndroid-tablets/ And that is all you need for usb working with x64 and your Vega.
