latest rom manager 4.2.0.0 installs cwm 3.0.2.7 - at least it says so, but in the end, it fails... at least for me (:

since rom manager failed me, i build the latest image - 3.0.2.8:

mirror1: recovery_vega_3028.img size: 4.5M (4665344 bytes)

mirror2: recovery_vega_3028.img md5sum: 51f65a999619fbda41e7f6be0b76a1be

and i also replaced the recovery.img inside add.thebad's easy installer:

mirror1: recovery_vega_3028_easyinst_donotflash.zip size: 5.5M (5728635 bytes)

mirror2: recovery_vega_3028_easyinst_donotflash.zip md5sum: 811e1e49ceaa0ca583dde994f3a58140

hi,

http://androtab.info/files/vega/cwm/install-recovery-signed.zip (don't unzip)

this file can be installed by Settings -> Software tool -> Software update on stock ROM.

after installed (reboot 2 times), you can use recovery app to reboot clockworkmod recovery.

please try.

Help

I'm trying install a zip from my sd card using install from zip but I get this error:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by google in Android 1.5 It was neccasary to remove it when upgrading to clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Ive tried this with clockworkmod 3.0.2.4 and 3.0.2.8 and it comes up with this message also this is with Corvus 5. Any ideas

Thanks.
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
You try to install an older script which has an updater script written in Amend. The new version of CWM doesn't support this anymore.

2 solutions:

Flash older CWM first (V2.x.x.x), then install the ZIP, then flash latest CWM again.

Or

Update the ZIP to the newer EDIFY script language. The script that has to be updated is in META-INF/com/google/android. Amend script file is called update-script, but you need an updater-script.

Here is a tool to update amend scripts to edify -> [TOOL] amend2edify script converter [Zip][Batch][Windows][Ubuntu]. I did not ty it, but it seems to do what you need.

What do you want to install?
[Vega Android Development] daveleebond:
Wonder if you can help :(

had the Vega about and hour, installed the windows batch, went on fine.

clicked on recovery, said will reboot, screen goes blank just backlit.

stayed like that for 10min so held power button and it went off, pressed power again and backlit again, left for 10 min, rinse and repeat, then by random it went into clockwork?

new to this tablet, do you have to press hold whatever in a certain order?
[Vega Android Development] s0epkip:
Installed this on stock rom, rebooted, clicked the recovery app and.... TADAA CWM appeared, thanks!!
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
No key combination unfortunately weird bug does it still do this if not then just some weird first time anomaly

typed by using my vega as a tennis racquet
[Vega Android Development] DocSoton:
Installed ok, but how do you launch from boot??

You may not always be able to boot into the OS to load the app to do a recovery....
[Vega Android Development] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Direct boot into recovery is not possible on this tablet. There is no key combination.
[Vega Android Development] Tezray:
Hi wondering if someone can help me. I will ne getting an advent vega tomorrow. I have seen you cannot get into recovery on startup you must use an app in Android to get to it. What if you cannot get into Android how do you recover the tab. I'm used to a desire Hd so I just hold the volume down and flash off the SD card. I have searched but can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks.
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
its awkward you have to use a windows program called nvflash to either restore stock reflash recovery restore nandroid or use this program to nvflash a nandroid http://android.modaco.com/content/a...a-is-not-bricked-nor-broken-this-will-fix-it/

not ideal tbh

edit: if adb works

./adb shell recovery_2

./adb reboot
[Vega Android Development] Tezray:
I see that's no problem then. Thanks very much for your help
[Vega Android Development] premieral:
if you go to myadventvega web site a full set of drivers and instructions are their for how to get into recovery using the power button back button combo, for when you have no option but to reflash rom.

The vega is unbrickable because it has the ability to always be taken back to stock rom via recovery
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
they mean cwm recovery not nvflash cwm has no such combo
[Vega Android Development] retaliator:
Noob question because of a bootloop

I have the clockworkrecovery but in a bootloop. How can I restart my device in clockwork recovery to restore a backup?

See sometimes people can restart in recovery and sometimes people can't. Now I am in the situation I can't :(

And my windows can't find the usb, so the software recovery of Modaco doesn't work either.
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
You can try using adb must have drivers installed on windows

adb shell recovery_2

adb reboot

Should do it otherwise nv flash stock
[Vega Android Development] retaliator:
Unfortunately it seems not possible to connect prroperly to the desktop like what's written in: http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/full_system_flash_instructions.pdf

I mean, I see in the computer a new connection but I can't do anything with it. I think there is a problem with a wrong driver or something like that.

In this case it is impossible to use adb
[Vega Android Development] bob1369:
It's always possible but takes practice to hold the key combo right tablet screen shouldn't turn on instructions will work when followed to the letter
[Vega Android Development] retaliator:
I did it so many times.

Sorry, was confusing about the term recovery. I thought I go back in recovery of CW when I push that buttons.
[Vega Android Development] apetir:
HELP ! :S

Help PLZ!

I installed the Recovery, the install was finished without any

problem. But when i restart the Vega, just a black screen appears, and the tablet

doesn't respond to anything... I can't switch to recovery mode, the USB port doesn't

work (Power is plugin).

What can I do ? Before this, everything was OK, but i wanted a new system, with

a new CWM.

Edit:

Already all is well !
[Vega Android Development] vimesUK:

A big thanks

I only got my vega last week, I tried to install abd all sorts of ways on my windows 7 computer with not much luck, I found this post, downloaded and install and WOW recovery mode workes with clockwork all install,

I am so happy, GREAT work from GREAT people,

A BIG THANK YOU:D:D:D

Just to clear up this does install clockwork but not adb (in a normal usable way anyway)

[Vega Android Development] OpenMinded:
works nicely on my viewpad 10s.

any way to enter recovery after cold boot?
[Vega Android Development] Tressy:
I had similar problem i followed this

Make sure the charger is UNPLUGGED.

2. Hold The power button for 6 seconds and make sure the backlight is off.

3. Now insert the charging cable and the USB cable from the PC to the Vega.

4. Hold the back button for 2 seconds.

5. While still holding the back button hold the power for 2 seconds.

6. Then let go of the power button still holding the back button when is hardware wizard popped
[Vega Android Development] rpmccormick:
I had the newest RED CW installed. I ran a backup with both Ti, then CW. Neither gave me any errors. I then NVflashed to modded-stock. Then, when I went to copy over the VC3-b7 zip file, I noticed that my SDCard was full.

I'm now praying that my backups (at least for my game saves) worked.

Shouldn't Ti and CW give some error if the SDCard was 100% full (0 bytes reaming in windows when mounted)? WTF!
[Vega Android Development] dpruim:

[Vega Android Development] codiak:
Hi

I know CWM from other devices and I am curious why you cant start it with a keycombination on boot? This makes it unnecessary complicate to recover (reflash rom to start recovery)
[Vega Android Development] add.thebad:
you cant boot straight into clockwork on the vega becuase the stock recover is taken up by the nv flash utility, if i remeber corectly, so the only way to boot into clockwork is through the os
[Vega Android Development] TheEvilVirus:
I don't agree. After flashing ModdedStock v2 I have always been able to enter CWM through the recovery key combination, with the only side note that it doesn't work the first time, but when you power it off the first time and then try to simply wake the device up again it goes into CWM.

Edit: I was wrong, I can't get into recovery anymore by the key combination :S
[Vega Android Development] codiak:
What about modding the bootloader and build in a second keycombination like vol up and power?
[Vega Android Development] codiak:
I am having a problem with cwm backup. It says that there is no sd-ext, but there is. So it does not backup it.

Is there a newer version of cwm for the vega? Afaik there was a bug in v3 regarding sd-ext backup.

[XPERIA X8 General] WindNinja:
Hello,

I didn't really want to root but I'm seeing a few benefits of rooting but I want to know more info about it if possible..

What are the rists of rooting?

By "Bricking" your phone does this explicitly mean that -- It can't be used/UnRecoverable/Dead?

Can Rooting "Brick" the phone, and what are the chances? What would cause the outcome to brick the phone?

Would I be able to root my x8 with the latest firmware from SE? I have never rooted and my phone is completely factory

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015

Kernal: 2.6.29

Build Number: 2.1.1.A.0.6

A link to the most trustworthy, and known working x8 rooting app for this phone spec would be nice too [if possible]
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
This is a part from a guide i am writing:

Root - Get admin access

Your x8 runs android, a linux based os.

On many computer operating systems, the superuser, or root, is a special user account used for system administration. When you buy your phone you dont have admin access, so you have to get.

Why?

Many cool apps require user access and also you will be able to have access to the your phone files.

Is it safe for my phone?(virus and other)

After rooting, an app with the name superuser is installed on your phone which controls the admin access and ask you to give your permition every time an app want admin access.

.............................

So about the brick part....

There are 2 kind of bricked...

Full brick and normal brick

Full brick ---> you will need new phone

Normal brick---> Easy to fix

FULL BRICK:

Phone dont open at all, you can come across it only if you play with thinks as bootloader and other like it. You cant get it from root.

NORMAL BRICK:

Yes, you can come across it if you dont follow the instructions. In this stade phone just keep rebooting on sonyericsson boot logo. To fix it just run pc conpanion from pc and make an update to your phone.

The worse case senario is to lose your contacts if you havent made a buck up and spent some time downloading the update....

Yes you can root last firmware update. I recoment you to use one super one click .exe find it somewhere on xda. It is realy good.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

After ROOT (an other part of my writing guide)

Moving apps an sd (Need Root Access)- I need more space for apps.

x8 with android 2.1 dont provide you enought space for your apps. So you need an apps that moves apps on sd. This sounds easy but its not. I recomend you to download Link2SD from market. Then you will have to make some changes on your sd card.

xRecovery (Need Root Access)- this is the door for customing your phone's firmware.

xRecovery is something like a boot programme. With it you can buck up everythink from your phone to your Sd card, mount sd card for pc connection without having to boot android, install-replace phone's files, install custom roms, make a factory reset and many others
[XPERIA X8 General] brunodmsa:
doing root to your phone makes you have access to all, with it you can delete factory app to clear some space, install xrecovery to be able to install costome roms like minicm6 (2.2.1), and or all other things app2sd, etc....

[XPERIA X8 General] WindNinja:
Just rooted, and my phone seems to have gotten faster! :O It's kind of wierd :P

New questions:

Does using things like xRecovery hold the risk of a full bricked phone? Installing other OS's is something I would be interested in!

How do I install xRecovery for my x8?
[XPERIA X8 General] silentw:
Just use FlashTool, it's easy and automatic!

It can flash a new rom to your phone, root, install xrecovery, install JiT, clean (remove apps) and many other useful stuff!

(Just search the forums for it)
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
No full bricked risk with xrecovery... but in any case folow the instructions carefuly

....again part of my guide in progres...

xRecovery (Need Root Access)- this is the door for customing your phone's firmware. Developed by zdzihu (please click his thank button),

xRecovery is a custom recovery (can be run after boot). With it you can buck up everythink from your phone to your Sd card, mount sd card for pc connection without having to boot android, install-replace phone's files, install custom roms, make a factory reset and many others.

And there is no way your phone go faster from root...

PS after instaling xrecorery , everytime you charge you phone while you have it turned of, it will open to android... (no ofline charge)
[XPERIA X8 General] WindNinja:
xDD Thanks for you help :) I downloaded flashtool but the xRecovery option was not clickable and it did pick my phone up. So I will try that way now :)

Also, I don't know why.. It really has just randomly gotten a lot faster O_o It boots faster -- even after the SE animation the launchers load time and all services are loaded faster.. The animations have gotten smoother too ¬_¬ I don't know why.. but the difference is really noticable!
[XPERIA X8 General] xdelapan:
If you want to do something you better learning first. Read the whole thread which talks about. You will find some are succeed some are not. Then you will know what makes the phone going brick and how to fix it. Rooting is about crossing the limit for me. An adventure :D
[XPERIA X8 General] WindNinja:
It was something which made me anxious but the option to try out custom ROMs is what pushed me over the line
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:

[XPERIA X8 General] WindNinja:
Just installed xRecovery ;D

Now if I install a ROM, do I lose access to my current OS installed? or would it sort of "partition" the OS, can installing ROM's brick the phone fully?
[XPERIA X8 General] junixquiaoit:
Now if I install a ROM, do I lose access to my current OS installed?

ans: YES!

would it sort of "partition" the OS

ans: NO!

can installing ROM's brick the phone fully

ans: NO!

just follow the guides carefully, and you'll be alright.

xrecovery is a safe application don't worry, it won't let you down. :D

just backup first in case you want to revert back to the original.
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
...first you have to know some things.

There is not rom that fully works with x8, all of them have bugs.

In most cases radio and camera dont work and you get phone reboots some times.

But as all roms are based on android 2.2+, there are a lot faster than stock rom.

Befor you do anything got to xrecovery and make a buck up in your sd. Even is your phone brick after you install rom, but restoring the buck up ,if you manage to get in xrecovery, it can fix brick.

If you have apps and data that you need in your phone , and want to have the in the custom rom, you have to download titianium buck up and buck up them. BUCK UP ONLY APPS THAT YOU HAVE DOWNLOAD, OTHER APPS FROM STOCK FIRMWARE CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE WHEN YOU RETRIVE THEM ON A COSTUM ROM.

All costum roms, need last version of se firmware on phone. So go to setings>about phone>baseband .If the number ends on 15

you have the latest update, else you will have to update your phone.

(I alwase update with pc companion so i dont know about the other programmes)

If you update you will have to root your phone again and install xrecovery again.

After all this you should have last update se version , rooted , with xrecovery and a buck up in the sd card.

Make a buck up here to.... (Copy the other buck up on your pc just in case you need it. It is locaded on sdcard xrecovery> buckups> the first file.)

Now download the rom you want.

Extract it.

If file is an update.zip just put in on your sd,

Open xrecovery and install update zip.

Else is rom are files

Put the folder on sd card on xrecovery>buckups

Open phone and get on xrecovery.

Go to restore a buck up and chose the rom folder.

Then reboot phone and the rom will be installed. The first time to get into rom it takes 1-5 minites. If phone start rebooting (bricked) ,this hapends all the time, restore the last buck up we made and try a different rom.

When the rom work make a buck up whith xrecovery and put the other on yout pc.

After you manage to install rom download titanium buck up if the rom dont have it stock, and retrive your apps and data.

If phone bricked after you retrive your apps, an app must not be compartible with rom, so retrive tbe buck up of the rom from xrecovery.

[XPERIA X8 General] Dare-Devil Inside:
You can use a backup function on xrecovery to backup your current os.

No, you cant brick your phone fully. You can brick it partially,if you brick it, just flash with SEUS.

Just download the ROM from adrynalyne's Superclean 2.9.2 thread, open the .zip file using Root Explorer (mms.apk will be in the /system/app folder). Copy this file, and paste it in your own /system/app folder.

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] chopper the dog:
Or do it yourself. From computer (with 7zip) right click mms.apk and choose open archive. Within the 7zip navigate to res/drawable-hdpi rename "new icon of choice" to ic_launcher_smsmms and simply drag the new icon into the open 7zip window. Push via adb and reboot or copy to system/app with RootEx and reboot. And new icon of choice should roughly be about 72x72px.

good day.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMuffStuff:
Edit. Found it.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] chopper the dog:
Yay, I bet you feel on top of the world right now? Now get to themeing your own framework.... (hint you can do the same thing with framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk and you can even extract the res folder and look around make changes and drag back in).

I'm running CM7 final, and I'm using the built-in tethering that they put in there. Is T-mo gonna detect it and charge me for it? I'm thinking no, but I can't be too sure. As of now I've already used up 10 Gigs of data, and it's probably gonna keep going up. LOL!
