Guest kerpob Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 (edited) I've been using my Vega for browsing & also as a development machine to write the odd android app. The other day I plugged it into the PC via the USB-USB cable it came with and nothing happened - no recognition, nothing. I tried on a different machine and different OS's, with zero response from anything. The USB port on the Vega still seems to work as I can plug in a USB keyboard to it successfully and also it will power my mobile phone. Oddly, PC world don't stock USB-USB cables and when I went to the specialist PC shop they didn't have any either. They did say that you can get them on ebay, but there are 2 type, a bog standard type and a special computer network type. What type do I need, or am I missing something spectacularly obvious (not USB debugging tick-box, tried that). Thanks in advance any advice! Edited May 17, 2011 by kerpob

Sounds like it if you were able to plug a keyboard into it and have it working. In order to connect to your PC you need to be in Slave mode.

Guest trevor432990 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 Do you know which kernel/ROM versions you are on? If not go to SETTINGS > ABOUT DEVICE and tell us what it says. The kernel version normally indicates what mode you are in.
Guest kerpob Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 I followed the instructions here and got it back to factory mode, so I think it wasn't the cable after all, but something in the corvus 8.
Guest Dave Marchant Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 I bought one of these from Misco (but it is cheaper from Amazon) and it works fine:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cables-Go-Male-Cab...6108&sr=8-1
