Hi all
The new vega flash updater only works if the model in the buid.prop has not been edited. So i you have installed my rom-add on, or other roms the chances are it will not work. To solve i have made a update.zip for those who do not have root. Or edit the build.prop and make sure the "model" just has "vega" in the title.
See post below to edit build.prop manually.
Surprisingly, the app called "SGS Tools" will allow you to modify the build.prop file in your Vega.
Thanks, i did not know you could edit it on the vega.
It has to be something with "Advent Vega" for me. I could be so easy thx ganja for the awesome research!!

Hi there,
I would recommend flashing the stock v1.09 firmware, that has flash as default. It is available from the advent website. Pauls r8 is based from the v1.08 firmware that does not included flash (paul added it). There are some newer ways of getting the market and Gapps on v1.09
As for my update.zip its easy. Just transfer the update.zip to you sdcard on the vega. Then navigate to settings/software tool/software update from there just navigate to the update.zip and click it. The device will reboot, and you will get a "out of a box android" a progress bar will appear for around 5 secs and install the parts.
O_G
Thanks ,
How do i Just transfer the update.zip to you sdcard on the vega ?
Do i download your update.zip file to my pc and save in a new folder and then connect vega to my pc via usb cable then follow on with your instructions ie,
Then navigate to settings/software tool/software update from there just navigate to the update.zip and click it. The device will reboot, and you will get a "out of a box android" a progress bar will appear for around 5 secs and install the parts.
Regarding flashing the stock v1.09 firmware from the advent website would that

For your first question, yes you can download it to your pc and then transfer it. The vega has some problems downloading some file types. You can use a app like download all files from the market. Then you can download it directly to the vega, and then run the software tool. Both ways work fine.
Flashing the v1.09 firmware will essentially return your device to factory settings. No trace from r8 or installed apps will remain. Once you get v1.09 up and running you can use the application backup in software tool to save your apps. Do not try this with your current set up and restoring to v1.09, you might well be left with a mess.
Hope that sorts it for you
Im sorry you say
You can use a app like download all files from the market
what do you mean ?
You said

there would nt be any apps left if i'd flashed the stock v1.09 firmware from the advent website would there ?
I am very new to this whole process ........... there should be a step by step guide somewhere .

Firstly, just stick with the first plan and just download it to your pc then transfer it by usb. Thats nice and easy.
secondly, i meant use then applications backup after you have installed all your apps to v1.09. Then if you have any future problems you can reflash v1.09 and use your backup to put your apps back.
There is a guide in my rom add-on thread located in the vega android development.

Come on.... Just plug your vega into your pc with the supplied usb cable. Allow the usb connection on the vega. A new drive will show up on your pc. Copy the update zip over. This will work if you have installed the usb drivers from the advent website. Again this is covered in my rom add-on thread.
Sorry come on ......... yeh sure ....... you once didnt know either.
your to unspecific with your instructions .
Does the vega have to be in recovery mode to do this ?
Allow the usb connection on the vega ........... where do we do this ?
maybe you should make a video
thanks for trying to help but unspecifics are no help to beginners .

I am always very patient with new users, as you say we were all new at some point. I try to help and give simple easy to follow instructions. Just the info you asked about is in the instructions you get with the vega. I try to help but some times you have to help yourself.
And dont forget the search button is your friend.
I asked for specific instructions and you didnt provide them and so i remained confused ,you didnt say much at all in a concise fully explainable way , ie, do this do this and do this etc ......... i asked on here because i believed i would be given simple detailed specific guidance .

Oh here this is the guide you'll want to fallow in rooting your phone easy as it gets with pics and everything.
Easy root
I tried them.... It requires my device ID. How can I do that when I can't go inside my phone!? So what I did was I copied the Device ID.txt when I last rooted to the X10Flash_Unbrick folder. The problem is not solved. Please check the image.

You don't get your device ID from the phone you get it from your PC. Make sure you use the same USB plug everytime you connect your phone to your PC. I would download the auto device ID finder and install it as per instructions and run from step 1 again.
Also are you on a 32 bit OS or 64 bit OS, if your on a 64 bit you might be having issues with Java which requires you to install java pacs.
yay, it's my birthday.
Oké first of all, I have my XDA account longer than I have my first smartphone.
So I'm really new to all this.
For the last few day's I've tried to connect to KIES with the leaked JPU firmware (Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition).
I finally made this script which saves me all the hassle in changing the settings and going to TouchWiz Launcher because that´s where you need to be for KIES to work.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDeLvmMzUdQ
Phone NEEDS to be in USB debugging mode for some reason..
Have no clue why, hope you can give me tips and feedback to get my coding skills on
I should learn Java as well because I won't come very far using the terminal in this way I suppose xD
Put script in /sdcard/sgstools/
Run script through sgstools (free in the market)
Inspired by thomas_d_j
Thank's this method its ok for me.
and.... Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday...
worcks at me too nice job

Happy Birthday
works great - thanks!
Very Good! All other methods can Suc k it~ well done and happy bday!
Well done, great attempt for being new to the smartphone community.
Happy birthday btw.
Happy Birthday
Will this only work on the Darky's v5.2 Gingerbread Edition, or is there a way to get this working on the stock JPU firmware?
The original script is from the stock JPU thread, you can go there by the link in the first post. Just click on thomas_d_j who came up with the solution in the first place. If you are using the TouchWiz launcher, you'll probably won't need my script and thomas_d_j's will be sufficient. It works on stock JPU though.
Thanks, I just tried it and now I can connect to Kies just fone Good job!
Happy birthday. Will try it and will give a feedback. Hope it will work.
hi thanks for the fix.
i put the JPU_Kies_Connect_Fix_JIP.txt in my internal sd card
boot up sgstools and apply script, but theres no JPU_Kies_Connect_Fix_JIP.txt found!
btw. what barcode above? if i need it inorder to do this, then i am ****ed, coz my barcode scanned not working
This will help a lot of people who use Kies to backup their contacts & sms.

The text file needs to be at a specific folder on sdcard. Just search.
The qr code posted only brings up text contained in the text file you downloaded.

You need to put the txt files in /sdcard/sgstool/
Good question though.
I juse ZXing as QR code scanner.
As ragin said the QR code will only show you the script,

Hope this helps.

theres probably an easier way , but i logged into this thread on my phone and downloaded the script that way .
then i found it in my files then copied it into sgstools.
then i ran it through sgstools.
one question though , do you have to rerun the script after every reboot ? seems like it here

Yes this is a temporary fix which you have to apply every time you want to connect to KIES.
After a reboot the changes will be gone, except for the USB settings.
They'll stay as the script have set them to be, if you do not change them manually. after the script has been ran.
Did it work for you and do you have any idea to make it better?
Hi,
i'm new in this and have one question.
I updated to JPU and Kies don't run anymore. Now i downloaded the sgstool and the script. Do i have to root my phone first? Or can i do the steps w/o rooting the phone?
If i have to root, any link for a "good" root incl. tut.?
Thanks a lot!
Yes you have to have root access.
So since you've updated to JPU I suppose you've used Odin?
Download CF-Root
Unzip it.
Open Odin, choose the file you've just extracted (.tar file) as PDA in Odin.
Put your phone in Download mode.
Connect your phone, wait until Odin says it's Added and flash.
Now you've rooted your phone.
Very easy
Hi, i have been looking through some of the rooting, flash threads on here and there is a bit too much information,lol.
Can anyone detail the basic steps, software required to roll my X10 back to the 1.6 OS?
I am still having connectivity issues when trying to use the handset in the car.
The vehicle manufactures website shows that the Xperia X10i is compatible with their factory fitted handsfree systems, but only on OS 1.6.
1. Download this and extract in any folder of your computer:megaupload.com/?d=HCWX4KO3 (The credits of this goes for its creators)
2. Open the folder that its named 1_firmware and in the fileDeviceID.txt copy yours, save and close. (This is the same as the one used on the flashtools of Bin4ry)
This is how you can get your DeviceID on Windows: (Again thanks tojimbo77)
2.1: Connect your phone to the computer on the USB port you are going to use to flash it.
2.2: Press start (or windows icon) and in the run box type regedit
2.3: Click edit>find, and type in Vid_0fce&Pid_adde. You should find "DeviceInstance". If that fails, make sure Match whole stringis un-ticked, and click find next or press f3, if that fails, tryUSB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE. Copy the last section of that, it should look something like "5&2888d0ff&0&1".
Note: It changes with every diffrent USB port you use....3. Download your Firmware, extract it and copy all the files on it to the 1_firmware folder. You don't have to erase anything from this folder, unless you got the message to replace a file.
4. Now run the RootX10a_v2.cmd and select step 1 and follow the instructions. If done correctly you will see a window that starts to write and write and write a lot of things. This process will take around 5 minutes, so be patient. (It is like if you were flashing your phone)
5. Turn your phone on and wait until you get the configuration screen.
6. Now connect the phone to the PC and run PC Companion or SEUS. If it shows that there is a new software for your phone, follow the instructions and update if you want.
7. Enjoy your phone on Android OS 1.6 or 2.1 with your operator
Thank you on anticipation to any help offered.
I have had a look here, but am not 100% if this is all that i need to do?
Sorry, not able to post the link, being a new user.
The one part that is not clear to me is where they say, "Open the folder that its named 1_firmware and in the fileDeviceID.txt copy yours, save and close"
What is it that im supposed to copy?
No.. no...
You need the flashtool and the 1.6 files..
I cant seem to find the 1.6 files...
Why do you need 1.6?
SE seem to have done something with the update 2.1 where the phones Bluetooth will connect to my vehicle, but only for about 40 seconds, then removes its self and then re attaches, then removes its self again and this goes on for the duration the handset is in the car with me.
The handset i have just now was a replacement for my original and came with the 2.1 OS already updated.
The original 1.6 OS that was on the phone connected to my vehicle and gave me phonebook access.
I have neither now hence why i wish to roll back to the software that is compatible with my vehicles system. 1.6 buildR1FA016 Kernel 2.6

I did and it's version this and version that. So which version is it that i actually need without screwing up my phone?
Suppose i'm more looking for something along the lines of what you would get if you downloaded a torrent file, where everything is in the one folder, inc the instructions.
Anyway, hopefully problem is sorted, as i am ditching SE after 10 years of using their handsets and going to Samsung which is compatible with my vehicles factory fitted system.

Hey there
Nice to see you're still on 1.6 , We really need your help right now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
If you haven't already rooted , Follow these steps :
1. Download http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 and transfer to phones SD Card
2. Download Astro File Manager in Market (Or any other file manager)
3. Open the file manager and locate the application you downloaded
4. Click on the File and Install the Universal Androot .apk
5. Run Universal Androot and select Superuser for 2.0 - 2.2
6. Click 'Go Root'
7. Follow any restart prompts
8. Go back into market and download Terminal Emulator
9. Follow the instructions from the CODE box on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
10. The files will be created in the backup1.6 folder on the SD
11. Using a computer, .ZIP these files and upload them to the filesharing site of your choice
12. Share the link to us
13. Be very proud of yourself, you've helped us all
Then after , I would install 2.1 using LG Software Updater (Easiest Method)
But EVERYTHING is deleted , Including contacts and SMS when doing so. To backup contacts , click Contacts , Press Menu and press Export then Export to SD
To backup SMS I recommend SMS Backup and Restore from Market.
Hope I helped Jamie
haha okei, i'll try to do that so i can give you a recovery imagine of 1.6
and you told me to upload to official 2.1 android through lg site,, i am known that 2.1 is just, mmm , as 1.6 XD i mean, you have problems to install things in the sd, and many apks does not work, and the flash is dead x.x haha
but well, i'll do that first before upgrading to another version!
