Help! Vega doesn't go into recovery anymore

[Guest achromic]

Hi guys.

Got a problem here with my vega, it's stuck in a boot loop and I can't get into recovery anymore to restore my nand backup.

It all started when I tried CM7, and forgot (doh!) to do a factory reset, something that is essential (why I forgot I'll never know), now, as stated above, recovery is not accessable.

If anyone can help out, I'd be extremly greatful to you :D

Keep trying, you'll get there eventually.

Make sure you keep the power button pressed for 8 odd seconds to ensure device is completely off, then do the back button 2 secs, power button 2 secs, let go of power button 2 secs, let go of back button.

If it doesn't show in your device manager, try again.

This happend to me, the button combo only takes me to the vega recovery, not clockworkmd. When your in the vega recovery it looks like the screen is off, had to then do a full factory reset using vega tools. Then reinstall the clockworkmd, and then reinstall my backup. Long winded but worked for me.

Before opening new topics can you make sure you close off your old ones like this one to explain what you did to solve your previous problem. :D

Appologies.

Ok, did ask mintvilla described, back button for 2 secs, power for 2 secs, back button release, the screen went black (thought it wasn't going to work), then, did a full restore using softwareImage_v1.09_Vega_Final.exe from myadventvega.co.uk, restarted the vega, and hey presto (with a pinch of dust) it worked.

Now, all I have to do is reinstall recovery and, hopefully, restore my last nand backup.

Fingers crossed, and many thanks to everyone who helped.

i ve tried the solution but it doesnt work for my vega, each time i uninstalled the device then plug vega in it was automatically detected to be a unknown device with a installed driver.

Search for YAUDIG (manual guide) or AUDI (automated installer)

Hmm. What OS are you using?

If you want, I can connect to your PC remotely and do it for you. I've never failed :D

EDIT. You're not confused are you? There are 3 sets of USB drivers a Vega needs:

1. In recovery, the drivers from myadventvega. Used to flash ROMs.

2. In ADB (Settings->Applications->Development-USB Debugging), the drivers from mcr8. Used to install mcr8 and other ADB stuff

3. Without ADB (USB Debugging turned off) and USB Storage turned on, Windows built in drivers for USB drives.

Hi, I am having same issure.

I just bought a second hand Vega, it had Modaco on, but the last owner said he restore the factory setting for me, however, when i tried to do a full system restore, the vega refure to go into recovery mod, and my computer running windows 7 just auto install the driver although i tried manuelly to update with the right drvier the computer just refure to install it.

I spent ages to read everything on this forum but still can't sort the problem out, I am stuck at the very first stage!!

Can someone can spare some time to help me out? I would appreciate if someone can remotely control my computer to have a look

Thanks very much

Download the Audi software, it will search and install the drivers for you without you having to search them out yourself. Then all you do is right click on Audi software and select run as admin.

connect your usb cable and mains charger, make sure the Vega is switched off, select the rom either the Advent stock rom or the modded stock rom v2, select A create a restore point, B delete previous drivers C install drivers,it will then install the required drivers.

then do this sequence press and hold the back buton for 2 second then put press together the power button and back button for 2 seconds release the power button and press the back button for 2 seconds.

If you see a green tick on your system try and the green bar appears in Audi it means you're in recovery.

close Audi and find the rom you want to install, say the modded stock rom v2 click on it and it willopen and install the rom for you.

You need to download whatever rom you want except the modded stock roms and put copy the rom to your sd card. (The Modded stock roms cannot be installed by any other way then via a pc)

Unplug the Vega from mains and remove the usb cvable, switch it on, and then go into the menu and select recovery.

The Vega will boot into ClockworkMod (recovery)

scroll down using the volume keys to factory reset and user date press power button to enter then scroll down and press enter that will clear everything, repeat for wipe data, then scroll down to advanced enter and click on wipe dalvik cache.

press the back button to take you back to the previous menu and scroll down to install

zip from sd card click the power button then select choose zip from from sd card scroll down to the rom you want to install, scroll down to yes and the rom will install.

When it is finished press the back then select reboot system.

It should be done.
