Guest simonta Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) I have gone and installed something from Rom manager and its bricked my vega, every now and then i get the backlight for a couple of seconds but thats it, I've been trying for about 2hours to boot into recovery mode but it just isn't happening, Can anyone help? Sigh. It's not bricked, can't be bricked. In the entire history of the Vega, no-one has discovered a way to brick one. Find a blackboard, then write out 100 times: I will not use ROM Manager on my Vega. The Vega cannot be bricked. I will not use ROM Manager on my Vega. The Vega cannot be bricked. I will not use ROM Manager on my Vega. The Vega cannot be bricked. I will not use ROM Manager on my Vega. The Vega cannot be bricked. I will not use ROM Manager on my Vega. The Vega cannot be bricked. ;) You'll have to start again. To get into recovery mode, just keep trying and vary the timing. Remember, you will see nothing on your Vega, not even the backlight. Watch device manage to see when you've got it. Walking away for 30 minutes, drinking beer then trying again seems to work well.

AUDI will tell you if the driver is installed correctly. If you had it correctly installed before, then yes. Fail safe method is to watch device manager.

Fail safe method is to watch device manager. There is an easier way that seems noone realized yet.. press the back button, wait half a second, without releasing it, press the power button. If you look to the screen from the bottom, at the place where the camera is, you will notice there isa blue light hidden besides the camera lens ... It can only be seen if looking at the screen from the bottom of the tablet. As soon as that light turns on, release the power button and then release the back button. You are in NVflash mode. From this point onwards, all you need is to install the correct drivers in your PC, and flash either stock rom of modstockrom... Remember, release the power button as soon as you see the blue light. If the blacklight of the LCD turn on, then you missed the time, and you will have to completely turn off the tablet (Hold the power button for more than 10 seconds), release it and restart the button sequence (Back->power>release power as soon as you see the blue camera light>release back -> you are in nvflash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand, there is no way to flash just CWM recovery. Which custom Rom can be flashed from the PC which allows to reflash CWM? Modstock? Modstock plus vegacomb? Or shall I start from factory (was it froyo?) ROM? My desired endstate is same vegacomb 9n plus update3 as i used to have (not yet decided to go the honeyice route or wait for an ICS release) Then i need to know what i need to flash from PC, what from SD card, as i assume i have just deleted Cwrecovery Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Rom Manager all the time for back-up and restores but I came to Vegacomb from CM 7 nightlies and Rom Manager now uses that CWM from CM7.

That and the memory layout (I forget the correct term) are the reason why you install that before vegacomb. I would suggest writing out "Do not lose the USB cable, it's there for a reason" one thousand times btw :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest writing out "Do not lose the USB cable, it's there for a reason" one thousand times btw :D Found the USB cable, and reverted to NVflashing modstock v2, then via CWrecovery installed Vegacomb 9n and....i took the plunge into Areo s honeyIce ! ´So, now my CWR is 3.0.2.4 QUESTION: is there any benefit in CWR 3.0.2.8 over CWR 3.02.4? I havent found any changelog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
