Guest adamsharpe Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 ....but I feel I might have done.... :) Had 1.09 running and then Paul's latest Modaco Rom. Today I thought I'd try Cyanogen.... Today I installed 2.3v2 (I think) using CWM but didn't like it.... So reinstalled previous from backup on CWM and all ok. Thought I'd try latest C7 2.3v3(??) BUT, whemn I installed it I don't think I cleared all caches before and after installing. So now when I turn the Vega on I get the Cyanogen bootscreen, followed by the Honeycomb boot screen (installed with Modaco Rom) and it just carries on with the Honeycomb screen. Can't even press Back/Home/Back to get to CWM!!!! HELP?!?! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madmerlin Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I had done a similar thing while messing around with roms, i would get the honeycomb boot as normal then it would continue at a very dim brighness. Anyways you can still put the vega into recovery mode. its the 2 seconds back, 2 seconds power and back, 2 seconds back. I find it useful to have it plugged into computer so i know when it is in recovery mode - it comes up in device manger as the wierd thing that needs the special driver from thier own website. But once there you can stick another rom onto it or even go back to 1.09 then use any Nandriod backup or do other roms. Always BACKUP !! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adamsharpe Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks, but..... I have backed up my previous setup (that I want to go back to) but cannot get back to recovery.... Have done the twosecond Back and then twosecond Home (with Back) and then twosecond Back button presses, but nothing. Have tried this also with the Vega plugged in to PC, get the notification sounds, but nothing else.... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madmerlin Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 if it is in recovery mode and you are using their driver so windows can communicate, then you should be able to use the 1.09 exe file to put stock firmware back onto your vega. Use with caution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adamsharpe Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Again, thanks, but I'm not getting into recovery mode from off. I'm not getting anything. BUT, if I connect the Vega to the PC and do Back, Home and Back and Home, when I get to the Home and Back section, the PC makes a noise, but doesn't register anything connected. I have looked on the PC and adb is there. Next step, any ideas.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked on the PC and adb is there. Next step, any ideas.... your struggling with the concept i think i struggled with the first day i got my vega (and did exactly the same thing you did... on my 1st none the less lol) what i found out is that even though you put the clockwork recovery onto your vega, the 3 button combo doesnt take you to the clockworkmod recovery, like it would on normal android phones ( i duno why, and its mega annoying but am not going to complain) the 3 button combo takes you to the vega recovery - those folks at advent/pov - whoever made out vega's decided that the vega recovery, the screen will remain blank, so that theres no clue that your in recovery. what you need to do is put the vega into the vega recovery with the 3 button combo - then reflash the stock firmware, i use vega tools to do this, download vega tools 3.0 if you havnt already, and then you need to install the recovery drivers off the myadventvega website. with those recovery drivers installed you can just click install stock 1.09 from vega tools, this then restores the stock rom, then again using vega tools, you can reinstall clockwork mod and the vega reboot app. reboot back into clockworkmod and reinstall your back up - i had to do this last night too, i know its more long winded but once you have the recovery drivers set up its acutally pretty quick to do.

Guest adamsharpe Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 So that could explain the notification noise at the second two second press..... Luckily I have VegaTools etc on PC :) BUT, when I try to use it to get the v1.09 firmware it first of all says that the download has completed then displays a window saying that it is downloading, but nothing is happening.....

The long easy way : Reinstall 1.09, from the myadventvega website. This will give you the stock rom, from here, you can install CM7. The easier way : Extract the backup from your SD card and reflash it. Then clear caches and install CM7 Zeb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry.... ???? sorry was having my dinner. try going to the myadventvega website, and download the stock rom that way, it comes as an exe file and you just should have to click on it and it should start the recovery process so long as the vega is in recovery mode, ( and it is impossible to brick it, you can always get it into recovery mode, the harder part is making sure the usb recovery drivers are installed) also try with it plugged into the power source, i think it mentions that on the offical website, and make sure its turned off, press the power button for 6 , 7 8 seconds. make sure its defo off then try the 3 button combo.

Guest adamsharpe Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Finally managed to get the Vega into recovery and got v.1.09 onto it by using the exe file. So now all I have to do is use VegaTools to re-install CWM and return to my back-up. Thanks for the support and help guys..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest simonta Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Everybody seems to miss the easy trick. As others have stated, the screen remains blank in recovery. To know that you are in recovery (and also that the drivers are installed correctly) just open device manager and watch what happens when you plug the Vega in. If you see APX, with an exclamation mark, you are in recovery but the drivers are not loaded. If you see NVidia Harmony Recovery Device, you are in recovery and the drivers are OK. It the Vega backlight is off, and nothing happens in device manager when you plug it in, it's switched off :) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
