[Vega General] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Try VEGAFixer (a few posts above) to get your tablet back to work without data loss.

If this doesn't fix it, get stock Viewpad 10s ROM and flash it. Get the PDF file from this site as well, so you know how to flash it.

You can as well flash my Gambaro ROM V0.2 ROM. Download the Gambaro ROM V0.2NV version, for this the flash procedure is the same as for stock ROM.
[Vega General] elena007:
Thank you BeeGee_Tokyo!

I followed the instructions of the pdf and downloaded the files from the official link and after having struggled a bit for the reboot procedure (with the timing if the back/power buttons).

Then it went smoothly!

You are a guru BeeGee_Tokyo, thanks again!

I will definitely try your ROM soon too!

Got same problem few times on my Viewpad 10s. At last I installed market via CWM and finally it works fine.
[Vega General] mysticc:
So I will give it a new try. :-)

It seems mine is broken.

No Advent Vega, but POV Mobii - however using nvflash to put back Stockrom on machine is the same procedure on both.

POV got rooted with this Add-On.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=931337

Put CWM on tablet via Recovery Easy Install ( http://android.modaco.com/content/a...d-clockwork-recovery-3-0-2-4-easy-install-v2/ )

and Wireless ADB. (No ADB via USB with POV because OF different USB-behaviour)

Yesterday tab was runnning fine - nothing put on additionally (my Mom is using it) and suddenly restarting the POV only gives a black sreen (backlight is on, but nothing else to see)

Drivers are fine - NVIDIA USB-Boot-recovery driver shown in Win7x64. OS is recognizing the Tablet when switched on with specialkeys connected via USB.

Running ****POV-Full-Flash.exe or ****Vega.exe gives the same message in DOS-BOX:

"Unknown device found"

Press enter to continue

So connection s good, but for whatever reason device is not recognized as vaild.

Did flash Stock-Rom 2 days before this way succesfully. (purchased as returned but new article and wanted to start from clean ROM)

I am having a Nadroid-Backup, thought easy cake, StockRom - CWM and restore nandroid - but I am totally stuck...

Any hint to get out of there welcome.. :-)

I don`t wanna t be the first who succeeded in .. *Grmpf*
[Vega General] mysticc:
For whatever reason flashing the StockRom via nvflash was possible now - nvflash accepted the connected device.

So I am not the first one who brickes his POV/Vega :-)

HELP Hard Brick Novice

I thought I could do it I really did... I cant, I cant hack, or do anything with code... its just not me.

Today I tried to flash my Viewsonic Viewpad 10 with a rom (vegan tab) and completely bricked the device. I see posts about restoring the system using an SD card... problem the system runs on the internal SD card is there anything I can do?
[Vega General] jhondidfool:
Ok, I'm usually a lurker, but I need help.

HAppens that I was trying VegaComb 1.5.2 (works great, but I NEED flash) and decided to go back to CorvusV5. I flashed correctly, or so I thought, but now my Vega loops on the Boot Logo.

I've tried to get it into NVRecovery, but the screen just flashes with light for 2-3 secs and then the device turns off everytime I repeat the sequence. Additionally, the PC does not seem to recognize the device at any time.

Some help here?

Thanks!
[Vega General] bob1369:
screen does not come on in nvflash mode your doing it wrong

right turn of vega (hold power for 6 secs)

put vega on charge connect to computer via usb

hold back for two seconds

hold power until computer bleeps recognises device

release power then back

ensure correct drivers installed

run recovery program

Edit: You will never brick your vega no one ever will if it is at all possible it will be an extremely experienced dev doing something extremely complicated you cant do it from CWM im not annoyed just informing you all
[Vega General] jhondidfool:
Fixed! thanks! :D
[Vega General] hudster2001:
what most people forget, including me, is that you need a minimum 60% charge before you can flash the stock rom using the power button method, so you can press away all you want, but if it's not charged, it's not happening
[Vega General] rbmk:
Although I followed all above instructions, I can not restore my Vega.

Had it off for a couple of days, tried to switch it on and it stuck in blank screen (screen on). Have it on the charger but light indicates battery is full (thought that battery could be dead).

Used the Advent Vega Driver Installer, drivers are installed properly, but can not enter recovery mode at all, every time it goes into this "blank screen" state with the screen being on.

Any ideas?
[Vega General] hudster2001:
have you installed vega tools?
[Vega General] frasbo:
Hi All,

I attempted to boot to recovery mode about a dozen times without success. Now I get nothing at all when I attempt to boot the device, no backlight, no onscreen display at all, I presume this means it has hardware fault and needs to be returned?

Any help appreciated,

Frasbo
[Vega General] inforce:
I had the same nightmare trying to get into recovery.

Turns out my battery was too full!! If the charge light is solid it won't go to recovery.

Left it switched on with the blank screen overnight, plugged in the charger and did the back + power button thing and all good.

When it finally booted, I checked the battery level and it was 12%

So on my Vega I need to make sure that the charge light is flashing when attempting recovery.

Ended up using VegaComb 3.2 build 9n update 2, cos every time I put update 3 it boot loops or won't switch on.

[Vega General] mkepka:
Hate to say it, but I may be the first one to seriously brick his tablet.

Was flashing the new Clockworkmod for the Vega when my laptop BSOD'd. Now when I press the Power button, the screen doesn't even light up. If I try several times I get it to flash on blank for a second then goes out again. Tried the recovery Back > Power > Back combo but laptop doesn't detect the tablet on USB at all. Not even the USB connected sound. So whenever I try to reflash a recovery ROM, I get USB device not found.

Advice? Is it now an oversized coaster?
[Vega General] yani2000:
Did you see this post?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19845954#post19845954

It was posted just few minutes before you posted.

He also claims he might be the first one to brick his Vega. :)

It might help. And YES, the Vega has a stupid charging indication system. :rolleyes:
[Vega General] mkepka:
I have 2 power adapters and tried them both. Also tested them with a voltage meter. Since it's only a 2 month old tab, I'm going to try to go the warranty route.
[Vega General] evophonehome:
That's what the Vflash recovery mode is suppose to do, it flashes once, then it goes black.

Easiest way to tell is when you click on stock rom, or modded stock rom with your usb cable hooked to computer and tablet. It will pause, decompress and start writing to your tablet. That is the only time it looks like the tablet is on because you can see files transferring to the tablet screen using that flash method. More important, is after you click on the rom on your computer to run, it will tell you if the "device not found". That's when you know your are not in recovery mode, or you did not load the usb drivers correctly. Still no problem, rule out usb connection first by,

Checking USB Driver:

Open windows device manager and keep open, (make sure your logged in windows as admin) so when you plug in the usb cable to tablet, you can see under the usb device tab (click on it to expand) that the "Navidia USB Recovery driver for mobile devices" is listed and loaded. If you dont see that, your usb drivers are not loaded correctly. There are two other misc devices that will try to load, and it will ask you for their driver location, just cancel through those messages, they are not needed to Vflash. If you see Navidia USB driver for mobile devices, then just click on the rom you want to flash.

Also worth mentioning to nubes there are two different types of roms files that can be flashed. There are zip files, that usually will get transferred onto your sd card and flashed through the recovery program on the tablet without the usb connection needed. and there are the SFX extension files that usually are Vflashed from your computer using the above method. To get the brick running, you need to use Vflash method to get back to stock,
[Vega General] evophonehome:
edit: Vflash should be called NVflash, my bad!!

Just got a replacement device and accidentally cancelled the update. Now when I check it says im up to date
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A Naked Emo:
Did you already try settings, about tablet, system update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
you can force it by heading over to the dev section, rooting your transformer and flashing prime v1.1 so you don't brick your device.

Asus pulled the update due to devices getting bricked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merlin_AZ:
DONT update.

Some are getting bricked and there is a forum post waiting for further recommendations.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMist:
Im on hols at the moment, away from my PC but will definitely root when in back home.

Just needed to get rid of some of the lag there's at least one FOTA available for this device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
This. I'm not sure if there has been any confirmation, but i'm pretty sure myself and a couple of others finally got them to pull the update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMist:
You're all great warning me off updating :-)

But is there an actual answer to my question?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuntdouble:
The answer is exactly what A Naked Emo said, but the firmware has been pulled from the update server, so until they put out a fix you will have to wait, and technically you have the latest version available at this time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcmtnbkr:
This. If you want confirmation, asus confirmed In the bricked transformer thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedMist:
A few hours after I connected to WiFi for the first time My transformer told me there was an update ready to install. I accidentally cancelled the notification. In stuck with the laggy Spanish text version

I guess ill have to be patient. Although its a long weekend with it in this state :-)

TigerArcade

(my favorite app) works, but is a small window in about 20% of the display. I tried the spareparts apps, but they are not designed for Honeycomb and do not fix the scaling :(

Psx4droid 1.5

Has same small display like TigerArcade, but does not work.

FPse is FAR better than Psx4Droid anyway, so I can handle Psx4droid not working, but the TigerArcade not working correctly REALLY hurts. It works great on the gTablet, but can not get controllers to work on it.

For arcade fans, TigerArcade is easily the best app ever made for a portable device. It plays all Neo Geo, Capcom 1&2 and Cave shooters perfectly with sound- even on my Incredible. Great and efficient app that does not scale correctly on Honeycomb. I think all of the Tiger emulators have the same problem.

Sure, MAME has been semi-ported to some devices, but none play as fast as this app. Again, it plays perfect speed and sound on a stock Incredible. Not working correctly on the A500 really sux.
[Acer Iconia A500] VillainousVivi:
Some that work for me

NESoid Lite (NES Emulation) works fine, was able to play several rounds of MT Punch Out.

Robo Defense works, though you have to minimize the keyboard in some of the menus.

Words with Friends works, but the bottoms of the tiles are cut off by the status bar

Also just tested Ninjump (one of my favorites from the iPhone) and it works quite well, also. It is definitely scaled, so the ads are a little more annoying because they are blurred, but it works.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:

[Acer Iconia A500] VillainousVivi:
It was fun to play some punchout. NESoid works pretty well, I haven't tried the paid version yet, so can't comment on it.

The controls are a little different since you use virtual buttons on the screen. On the A500, it's a bit of a stretch to reach the select and start buttons is all.
