How to get into NV Flash - my solution

[Guest kinobe]

I'm not sure what other's experiences are, but the back, back+power, back for 2 seconds each just does not work for me. It's more like back,back+power, release both, and no more than a second for each. Here's what I've found with my Vega and Win7 (this assumes correct drivers have been installed beforehand ) ...

1. USB cable connected to PC.

2. Starting from completely powered off, press and hold the power button - Vega should begin booting - keep holding power button until off again. (PC makes USB connection/disconnection noises during this). Now ready for entering NVFlash mode.

3. Press and hold Back button and count, 0 ... 1

4. Whilst still pressing Back hold Power button and count, 0 ... 1 then release Power button only. On release of power button PC makes USB connection noise and were in NVFlash mode - so no need to keep holding the back button after releasing the power button.

5. If not in NV mode, repeat from 2.

The time waster for me is that if it doesn't work first time it won't work at all until normal power on/power off routine is performed - I've tried and tried and only ever get into NVFlash mode immediately after a power off - hence step 2 above.

I've found I can get into NV mode almost every time with this method - Hopes this helps anyone struggling, like me...

I've found the same. I can only surmise that either people at Advent can't count, or there is a difference between some fo the devices :)
