out of my depth - help needed

I've spent absolutely ages on the forum following the stickies and basically have got nowhere? After playing with my flytouch 3 I never thought I would hit a brick wall so quickly

Tried to load r8 ended up with a wifi error message, have tried to flash it but windows ultimate 32 is not even recognising the usb drivers that I've downloaded so I can't even begin, I've followed the threads about this assiduously until my brain hurt and my wife is threatening divorce

Is there an organisation or individual out there who could put my drivers on and load either something like vegacomb 1.6 / r8/ corvus 5 for me

I live in West in Yorkshire

What state is your vega in at the moment?

Does it boot? still got R8 on it?

If so you can do all you need to without worrying about getting drivers to work anyway.

If not then maybe we can work something out, i'm not too far away.

Okram1 sorry to give some bad news but the vega roms won't work on a flytouch as they use a different cpu. They are not tegra devices. It runs based on CPU of Infotmic IMAPX210, 1GHz with RAM 512MB.

If the flytouch is a vega clone i'd happy to assist but i think are going struggle.

yes thanks, it does boot, doesn't have r8 though, just the wifi error message and the absoluter imposibiltiy of loading drivers, even apx has disappeared now

Okram1. Sorry, it isn't going to work. Completely different machines. There is no help to be given. I have no idea, but you may also completey disable your tablet by trying. The Vega, in my experience, is unique in being extremely easy to recover from disasters. I know of other mobile devices which have been rendered completely unusable through software fettiling.

Even if it was possible, which it's not, the way in which Vega ROMs format the devices memory is not going to work. You would need to do some heavy lifting to modify the installer.

If you can tell us exactly what state your Vega is in, i'm sure between us all we can sort it out.

What Rom(sic) do you currently have installed.. Stock, Modaco, Corvus or something else?

What is this WiFi Error message that you have, the more information you supply the easier it is for us to help.

And to put your mind at ease, you CAN'T brick the Vega :)

I got it on Wednesday and so it has the standard ROM that it came with, after I tried to put r8 on it I pressed a wrong button or something and it locked with a warning triangle with an exclamation mark inside, so I thought I'd flash it but I just can't get any USB drivers to load. I just keep getting a Code 10 message, the device can not start with Windows saying it has found the software but can't access it. I don't get an APX folder appearing any more in Device Manger just two Android ADB Interfaces both with yellow triangles at the top of the device tree.

The wifi error comes on when I try change the settings to connect to the Internet.

Thanks in advance for any advice

The best thing to do is follow minimonkey's advice and get the vega into it's basic out of the box state by reinstalling the stock rom.

Then follow this guide to install the correct drivers. It takes a while but it works. http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...omers-it-works/

Then we can start thinking about flashing modded roms.

Spent hours following this but on my computer APX doesn't come up, and I get CODE 10 error and the debug bridge never appears

Did you try AUDI the automatic installer that minimonkey linked to in his last post ?

Btw that is Windows 7 ultimate 32 and not Windows vista ultimate 32 you're using isn't it ? (typo in yuour original post)

I think I'm beginning to start crying - tried Audi's thing and got a devcon.exe error message and that I needed to do a manual install of that

Vega tools seemed to work but as with all the others I just end up with the code 10 message

Following yuadig's pdf but my computer won't see an apx device, funny thing was it was there for a time yesterday

Start again with the stock Rom from Myadventvega.co.uk then look at the other roms

I wish I could but I can't load the drivers, I can't get windows ultimate 32 to install the stock rom drivers for the device

Take a deep breath!!

I'm assuming that your Vega is showing up as a mass storage device in device manager, (as my new replacement did last week). There are a couple of ways to identify the one that is the vega. You can try unplugging the usb cable from the vega and see which mass storage device disappears. or you can have a read of this post and download USB Deview from it to try to identify the vega on your pc.

Link to Thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...-wrong-win7-64/

Take note of this part of the first post 'BEGINNING OF YOU ONLY NEED TO DO THIS IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHICH DEVICE TO UPDATE SECTION '

Give this a try and then get back to us.

Edit: Don't follow the instructions on that thread to install the drivers, just the bit about figuring out which usb device the vega actually is. then download and run USB Deview.

Thanks for your help

I've managed to get audi to come up but can't get the vega in recovery mode .... grr, more patience

I can tell which is the vega mass storage device because of the 0095 id - might have to save that step for tomorrow

Cheers
