ADVENT BRICKED from ZPAD 3.0 Rom

[Guest kryzop]

What a great introduction,

I have been following the forum for long but never got involved, flashed couple of devices since then but this VEGA seems to be pretty much dead.

STEPS

Bought VEGA

FLash MODACOO R8

FLash VEGACOMB Alpha

Bricked but went back after hard reboot and reflashing stock rom

Flash Back stock ROM

Flash VEGACOM Alpha again

FLash VEGACOMB Beta 1.4

SUccess.

Because of the flash issues i then looked at ZPAD rom as flash problems seemed to be fixed my modders __i just wanted a sneak peak at the setup___

REboot recovery

Pointed to ZIP ZPAD3.0

Error

Reboot from RECOVERY

BLACK SCREEEN / BLACK SCREEN and well ... BLACK SCREEN

I tried hard reboot but no detected via USB and screen just stays on for 2-3 seconds and then back in BLACK.

I really think i armed which i feel bad about. ...

Tried, SDK + ADB

Adb devices not found

Can START SERVER and KILL SERVER but not much else.

I unscrewed back panel looking for a hidden hard reset but no luck.

Anyone with and idea ??

Thanks a lot guys and great work, support and ethics on this forum....

Have you tried using NVFlash to get back to stock?

[Guest simonta]

Repeat after me (as 1,000 people before you have done - search for "brickable")

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

The Vega is unbrickable

:P

Just put the stock Advent ROM back on. You can ALWAYS do this. If you can't get into recovery, try, try and try again. It will come to you. See many threads on here with extra advice like drink beer, wait for 20 minutes, try again etc.

Remember you will see NOTHING on the Vega screen in recovery. Not even the backlight. If you do see anything, you've missed it so power off and try again.

There is no hard reset button and taking the battery out will do nothing because the ROM is flashed to a chip.

By the way, could be a long wait for flash on VegaComb. Might be tomorrow, might be June the 23rd of October.

Better off with Corvus ROM if you can flash, no need for ZPad or any other tablet ROM.

Sorry for the delay, back on

I have never used NVFLASH, i guess all the info are somewhere around here.

I will look into it and keep posted.

Thanks.

I've fairly sure the only way to get back to stock is to use NVFlash so you have used it (the 1.09/1.10 image you used is a NVFlash program).

The state that the vega enters when you flashed to ROM in the past can be done no matter what way the vega seems just keep trying, on personal experience if you can't get it into the recovery mode (black screen) first time hold the buttons for shorter 1 / 1.5 seconds rather than 2.

And flash works with VegaComb Beta 1.4 but only in full screen so you have to find the full screen button, so a few educated presses and you'll have full screen flash video playing.

I have found that the button timing is reall hit and miss, but in thedock I can get it first time every time.

[Guest kryzop]

Well what can I say,

You were bang on the money,

NVFLASH + buttons volume+ and Volume down - seemed to do the trick.

I have reflashed stock roms and i am back on the train,

Thanks a lot for the advices ... AWESOME !! :rolleyes:

While i am here would you guys have 1 or 2 roms to recommend, i am looking for hardware acceleration and flash videos and dont need the extra UI of VEGACOMB,

Just want something really stable and well tested as this VEGA will become a present to my sister next month when i get my EEEPAD TRANSFORMER,,,,

And lets be honest just doesnt SH** about Programing :P

Thanks for the tips

Corvus5 is great, fast an stable

[Guest beepo666]

I liked CM7, very nice as well.

[Guest HypoTurtle]

CM7 (from xda) is good until VegaComb is out of beta, and with the nightlies it essentially updates itself.

FYI CM7 is running on 2.3 - Gingerbread and Corvus5 is running on 2.2 - Froyo

[Guest kryzop]

I will try corvus,

I have tried cm7 but few stuff were lacking out of the box to my liking...

Anyway i am writing rhis post from my freshly rescuscitated vegacomb ... so title of this post becomes a bit irrelevant'

I will keep posting my adventures until the eeepad finally gets here,

Thanks for the help

[Guest beepo666]

Glad you're back up and running matey :P
