Guest spottyelephant Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi, So I followed the instructions exactly (ADB drivers, then modaco ROM for windows vista/7) and it all went fine until the Vega went to reboot, and now it's stuck in a boot loop at the android guy. What went wrong / how do I fix it?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest blueshiva007 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi SeiferTV Did you ever find out how to get into recovery mode? I have exactly the same problem, I have version 1.10, and I can't get into recovery mode, it seems to enter it and exit all within 1-2 seconds, windows detects it as a Android-harmony / android phone but it doesn't remain connected long enough to install the drivers. Windows 7 doesn't detect the vega at any other point, even in debug mode :/ I don't know of any other way to install R8 :) can anyone help? Hi, i found in this site, but i forget the one who post it (to the author please forgive me). here is the method. 1. with charger unplug, press the power button for 6 secs. (the screen will be like a little flashing in black color. just a little) 2. plug your charger, plug your usb (male to male) cable. 3. press back button 2 secs, after that still hold the back, you press power button for 2 secs, then release the power button, and lastly after 2 secs again release the back button. 4. the remaining you can follow the instruction for USB driver update. 5. if finished your windows device manager will show USB nvidia recovery driver. 6.done.

Guest spottyelephant Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 can you please share your experience on how u fix it ? i have the same problem with u due to corvus5 installation. thanks. I think the problem was that I had not installed the drivers from myadventvega.co.uk (I had only installed ADB drivers from this site) and so some of the "push" commands when loading the ROM failed - critically a new boot.img had failed. My solution was: - Download USB drivers and latest Stock firmware from myadventvega.co.uk - Put the Vega into Recovery mode (Hold back button for 2 seconds, then back button + Power for 2 seconds, then just back button for 2 seconds - took a few attempts to get right, fully described here: http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...-driver-guides/ ) - Plug in the Vega to the laptop and install the APX / NVidia drivers (using the drivers for Vista/7, not XP in my case) - Flashed the stock ROM (1.09) by running the .exe file from myadventvega That got it back working on the stock rom. Then i just went and ticked "usb debugging" in settings again, and ran the Modaco ROM .bat file and the ROM installed perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spottyelephant Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 (edited) Hi...after i put on r8 i also added this fix straight after through cwm (make sure gsensor box is unticked beforehand) and it works on majority of games...hope it helps!! http://www.sorensiim.dk/higgsy/Vega/Vega_A...rometer_Fix.zip Hi there, Could you tell me how to actually apply that?? Haven't a clue. Are there any disadvantages / problems with applying it? Thanks Edit: Ok, found the discussion in the R6 thread. Will give it a bash Edited April 28, 2011 by spottyelephant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chugglet Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hello everyone especially Paul Newbie here that wants to say thanks for the ROM!!! I got my Vega today and had already planned to flash it as soon as I could. Apart from the obvious upgrades, the new ROM is so much smoother than the stock ROM I have been playing with all day. I had a nightmare installing it at first via my MAC, then tried to install via Windows 7 on Parallels and that also failed so I went back to what I know best and being an IT Technician that is good old Windows XP!!! It installed without any problems at all. So again, thanks everyone!! Gushing over! :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newtomodaco Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hi I am quite new to the forum. Thanks a lot for the ROM. I am not sure what I have done wrong, but I have installed the R8 bake but my vega refuses to flash. So after picking out the bake from the c drive it stops at the point of saying 'ensure USB debugging is enabled in settings - applications and connect to PC. My vega is set on USB debug so am not sure why I have the issue. I am running a win 7 64 bit. Please help out of he frustration. Thanks a lot for your help.

Most likely a problem with your USB drivers. Check “YAUDIG[XP][VISTA][7] – USB driver guides, Yet Another USB Driver Install Guide” to get ADB drivers setup. But Win 7 64bit seems to be tricky :mellow: . I am so happy that I am still on Windows XP :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scotsman87 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hey all, Just new to the site... Joined up and followed the 'how to guide with driver' but now I get a message stating, This device cannot start. (Code 10) and it has a tellow exclamation mark in the Device Manager beside 'Android Composite ADB Interface' Any ideas? Also, it says in CMD prompt it is still 'Waiting for the Device' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have root you can use Root Explorer to remove apps by deleting them from /system/app/. Or if you use a custom ROM, delete the apps you do not want from the ZIP file before flashing.

Guest caber Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 Not sure if this is the right place to be asking for help. I've tried installing the R8 default on my New Vega (April). After hitting "install-windows.bat" it just says waiting for device and hangs. Any advice? My Vega is connected, USB debugging enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I done was start the install bat file again on a separate window, and that one ran, while the other was still hanging. Also, yeah make sure you follow the USB guide and have ADB in device manager showing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest caber Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Sounds like the usual USB driver problem. Search the forum for YAUDI, that might help you. Thanks. I tried the install drivers guide for XP but hit a wall at point 8. That screen didn't show up on my computer and Advent wasn't listed as a manufacturer. I aborted and followed the Windows 7 guide on another computer and IT WORKED. I now have Market and other stuff. The Vega behaves differently. The screen is more sensitive; and unpredictable things happen - like the media sound volume locks on mute. But a reboot so far has always fixed the problems and I am happy with the result. So thanks again Paul - this time from a 61 year old fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is there a keyboard avaliable with directional buttons? Thanks in advance To get rid of the bottom taskbar you need to change the launcher. Search for VTL launcher (optimized for tablets) or Launcher Pro, ADW Launcher. A keyboard with directional buttons is the NI keyboard (here is the version I use) or the Smart Keyboard from the market (I use the trial version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Nemes1s Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I use SmartKeyboard Pro. Very good indeed and very customisable in terms of button size etc. Has fully directional buttons too. I agree fully with beegee1962, LauncherPro is superb for tablets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
