I posted this in the Android Development Thread under Fuji-Vega. Hope I can get some help with more exposure on my problem.
I think I've busted my Vega. I installed Fuji-Vega V.07, then I wiped the device/factory reset, I then wiped Davlik cache and then I wiped the Battery Stats.
Now its stuck on the Vega bootup animation and it doesn't go any further.
Any suggestions of what to do?
I've shut the device down and powered back on but the same thing happens.
I personally now don't think I should have wiped the caches.
The device Recovery is ClockWorkMod 3.
Help much appreciated.
luckily for you the vega is almost impossible to brick so do a full system restore
http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/full_system_flash_instructions.pdf
If you have a nandroid backup then you can try to restore with the VegaFixer. I wrote a small tutorial how to use it.

A tip, next time wipe first then flash, not the other way around.
Some ROM have stuff in the data partition that they need and if you wipe after flashing, this stuff is missing when it boots.
VEGA CANNOT BE BRICKED! There's always a way out.
No you have not bricked your Vega it is not possible.
boot into recovery and install the official rom from Advent website by following their instructions. Then reflash your custom rom
Hi Guys,
I don't know if I am in the right thread but I try...
I have kind of the same problem, but with a newly acquired Viewpad 10s (I haven't found any specific section for this tablet in the forum) and I am a true newbie...
I wanted to install the Android Market following the procedure described here:
oudmaijer.com/2010/12/12/android-market-on-pov-mobii-101-tablet/
and after having transfered the market_update0.zip file on my sd-card and applied it through the Software Tool (in Settings menu), the tablet turned off then on.. but I only get a black screen. It won't even show the Android robot picture again.
The stupid thing is that I have no backup rom (the one delivered with the Viewpad 10s) on my computer and I don't even know what I can do (I guess the aforementioned rom for advent would not work)...
Please help! I just want the tablet to work again, whatever rom it uses!
Thank you,
Elena
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.

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.

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://forum.xda-developers.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*
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?
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!

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
Fixed! thanks!
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
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?
have you installed vega tools?

Hello XDA-devs forums,
I'm having an issue since yesterday.
I have rooted my Huawei Ideos X5, and it ran fine for a day or so.
However, when my battery ran out it shut down into a completely blue screen.
When I tried booting it again, this just showed me a blue screen as well.
Now, I fixed this issue by connecting the phone to my PC after booting it with the Vol+ and Vol- pressed.
(So you get the pink/purple screen)
However, when I opened the phone on my PC, all I saw was a "239 MB" "empty" space, and it should have ~2GB..
I placed a backup copy I saved of my "image" folder in that 239 MB storage, and it booted.
However, today I hooked it up to my PC again to see if it magically changed..
And I couldn't access the 239 MB space anymore.
When I tried fixing the issue with a reboot of the phone, that just caused it to get stuck in a booting loop.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that keeps trying to boot itself,
and I can't access it on my windows PC.
I can, however, access 4 different folders of the phone on my linux notebook.
Now, my question is: can someone with a good understanding of problems like these please help me out?
I'm getting kind of fed up with it, as I've only got the phone for 2 days now.
Thank you in advance, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Have you tried removing the battery for 5 minutes and then putting it back in?
After this, what happens when you press VOL+ and Power?
How about if you press VOL+, VOL- and Power, without the USB cable?
Hello Katu, thank you for posting.
Regarding your questions:
Yes, I have tried to take out the battery for 5+ minutes- it didn't change anything to the situation unfortunately..
If I press VOL+ and Power at the same time, the device boots into recovery mode.
In this I have tried to format the device in order to reset it to factory defaults, but this did not help either.
When I press VOL+, VOL- and Power, the phone boots into the pink/purple screen.
Can you try a custom recovery and a custom rom? I want to see if your onboard flash is borked.
u8800,cm7,[email protected]
I had the same when my phone got f*ucked up. Put the image folder, than download official rom, like b138 and install it. then check your imei. There is a change that it will be 0.

Well, I used an original ROM:
U8800 V100R001C00B136(Overseas General version)
And that resulted in the boot.img being corrupted, so I can't even overwrite that anymore.
Also, this is what I see when I hit VOL+, VOL- and Power at the same time to boot into safe mode, and connect it to my PC.

I installed the official B136 rom, and after it rebooted, it would just hang on a black screen.
(it used to show the IDEOS or Android logo when it booted)
Hmm mine came with this Rom
U8800 V100R001C00B135SP01 ( general )
Looking at your name you're from the Netherlands ( so am I )
where did you get this 136 version from ?
I would try to put this one on it
You have to put the 'dload' folder into the root of your SD Card,
then boot into boot-loader, after that it'll automatically flash back to the stock Rom.
1 Format SD card
2 On the SD card, create "dload" folder
3 Put the unzipped Rom into "dload" folder
4 Then boot to bootloader (pink screen)
Yes, mine came with that version as well.
However, I couldn't find it anymore and thus downloaded the version I said earlier.
Also, I did everything as you described, except step 4.
You have to boot to recovery instead of bootloader. (VOL+ and Power)
Anyways, I managed to get ClockworkMod's recovery.img on my phone,
and from there on install a custom ROM on the phone, which magically got it working again - even though it didn't work earlier.
Thank you for reading my thread and taking the time to reply to it.
My issue has been resolved.
just for the record, flashing a stock rom is different from flashing a custom rom..
the 4 steps described by Gman2oo6 is the correct way to flash a stock rom (and it is written clearly in the document that is in the stock rom zip file)
[edit]
step (1) is not a necessary step though..
Yeah, I noticed that.
What I did was format my SDcard with FAT32,
and put a custom rom (update.zip) on the SDcard.
I then booted ClockworksMod Recovery and installed the custom rom from the SDcard.
When I tried installing the stock rom, I just followed the PDF file's instructions that came with the stock rom.
hey i udated to GB 2.3.4 (official)and i didnt like the it cuz the wifif ddnt work and the bluetooth also the DATA so itryed to downgrade to 2.2.2 original official and it did the 2/2 steps intalled and when it restarted it did not want to turn on all that happened was it vibrated and thats all so i left it on like that and when the battery died i plugged it in to the AC and the LED turned on red and the touch kkeys also but not the screen so i really NEED help!
Try to turn it on with lead connected but no battery and see if you can start it.
My battery also went dead flat this morning and I couldn't get it started at all till I tried this. Once I got it started the only thing I could do was quickly pop in the batery and let it charge. Just leave off the cover till you get it going.
I have to add that I did not have the problem of a failed update to deal with but it may at least get you started
i tryed it
nope nothin good happened all that happens is a blank screen with nothin on ,LED is off and the touch keys are off. it justz vibrates and when i put the battery it turn the LED on to red and the touch keys turn on but then like 5 min later the LED and keys turn off

Do u got any idea?
When i connect it to my laptop it says installing drivers .then its says sucesfully installed drivers ready to use. so then i got to Device Manger and i check what has been installed and their it said USB Human interface device and HID-compliant device WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??
Not sure about the HID (human interface device) probably just the way windows sees the device for interfacing with it. With regards to the not booting I have read a lot of people saying that you need to factory reset and clear cache after the upgrade/downgrade. With the phone off, turn it on by long pressing volume+ and power on button till you get the blue recovery screen and from there you can reset factory/ data and also clear the cache. from what I see this should clear up the problem and start up. Please read this thread, it may help you somehow..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728

Hello, need some help please.
Had my 101 with JB Nightlies rom and wanted to try another rom. I've downloaded super wipe for samsung galaxy S3 and run it in my CWM.
The process didn't finish and the tablet restarted giving me an endless message saying to wait a few moments and that it was deleting everything.
The problem is that this process does not stop and i can't get in CWM again. It just stays there... tried to restart and the message comes again and no CWM.
I figure it out that i have to nflash my device but i never did it. I found Wheelie on this link: http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/.
But i just don't know how to do it on linux... just installed Ubuntu.
Can anybody help me please? :crying:

First don't run scripts that are made for other devices, especially a super wipe script, not only that, some roms done need a super wipe, refer to the install directions on each ROM page.
Second,using olife though terminal is probably one of the more dificult methods to use to do what you need.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012&highlight=tool+one+click+stock
It's basically a simplified package instead of you using terminal, it's really straight forward but ask if you need help.
Great software m8 this is probably what i need!!!
The funny thing is that i've been here for 2 hours clicking on vol + and power button and i can't get in to APX mode and i know that i have the correct drivers installed because after the problem append i successfully connected to APX once

Are you clicking like a short press or actually holding them down.
To get into apx you need to hold both of those buttons down while the power is off, usually for about 5-10 seconds.
If it's boot-looping try holding the power and volume + button for like 30 seconds to 2 mins.
I've gotten stuck in a boot loop before and I just had to hold the buttons down for a while before it did anything.
Keep trying, good luck!
Btw is the script you're running on the internal storage or on an SD card?
If it's not even letting you boot android or recovery I think APX mode is your only hope.
nvflash for b70+ devices: http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/31/wheelie-for-windows-beta/

It was from the sd card.
I think my problem is my cable because before this happend to me i tried to copy a rom from the computer to the tablet and it wouldn't connect. I've order another cable from Ebay yesterday and let's see what will happens.
This program is very easy to use so i think i will not have a problem. :good:
Will report when i get the cable
Thank you very much!!!
Well, i tried on another computer and i got in APX mode and used the software to nvflash... it totally worked.
Thank you very much fauxsoul for your help :good:
This means that my tablet will never have anymore problems again despite the fact that is a b70 device except if i drop it on the floor! eheheh

Hi guys,
Original post was made on the AcerTabletForums, but I'd like to post it here too.
I kind of bricked my device, and I was hoping any of you might have useful input.
What did I do?
- I installed the CWN JB 4.1.1 found on this forum. Everything worked ok.
- I found the CWN JB 4.1.2 ROM on this forum, and decided to install that.
- Booted into recovery, wiped the cache partition -> ok
- Tried to wipe the data partition -> NOT ok, the system froze
- Could not boot anymore into the normal system, so rebooted again into recovery.
- Tried to install the CWN JB 4.1.2 ROM, to get back to a normal system -> NOT ok, the system froze again
And now, my A200 isn't doing anything anymore. I just get a black screen. The light on the button is on, but that's about it. All the key combinations to get it into recovery aren't working, it's simply black.
Is there a way to hack my way into the device without it booting? I guess I just have to build the file system again, but I can't manipulate the system if it's not booting ...
So far, I can only see my device popping up as "APX" in Windows. I can also see it in Linux when I probe it. That's good, right? The thing is still alive. However, I can't do any more than that ADB does not see it, so FastBoot doesn't see it either ...
Is there any way to do a low level flash of the device?
BTW: it is rooted, so I won't be able to send it to Acer. *sigh*
your device is still alive sort of... look around th thread there is some guide to revive it

You are in APX mode, which means, basically, you can only flash via NVFlash. This really is only useful for flashing bootloader files more or less. In some cases you can flash recovery image files , but probably not in your case, Unless you have the SBK (secured bootloader key), you're pretty much in a dire shape.
You can try installing an A200 stock update.zip from your ext sd. By holding vol+ and PWR. However, you may not get that far. Your recovery may be cooked as well.
I wouldn't worry too much about Acer Repair. Seeings they can't boot the tab to see what's on it, more than likely they will just change the mainboard and write it off as a bad chipset. They may try to run a service rom, which uses NVFlash, but the end result will be a clean tab anyhow.
Considering a percentage of tabs that take OTA result in APX or bootloop, I suspect there won't be an issue.
Hi there,
Sorry to hijack but I have a similar problem and I'm hoping someone can help.
I have a stock as a rock unrooted A200. I think my son let the battery drain and I haven't been able to turn it on ever since. I've kept the charger on overnight but I only get a black screen no matter what key combinations I use. The hard reset must have worked (even though I couldn't see anything) because my Win7 machine recognises the tablet and all my data is gone.
Is there a way I can revive it using the PC? I bought it cheap so it's not worth fixing but I kinda like it and it would be good for the kids to muck around on.
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone This is my first time posting so I hope this is in the correct spot.
I have a Transformer TF101.
I rooted it months ago and can not remember what method I used.
I installed CyanogenMod 10 and everything was fine.
I did an update to one of the nightly builds and now my Transformer is stuck in CWM.
When I plug it into my Windows 7 pc it comes up with a unknown device code 43. I have tried it on several other devices having vista and xp and the same thing happens.
For the heck of it I tried placing the stock FW on the SD card but the transformer does not see it.
I tried placing it in adb mode but the pc still comes up with unknown device.
I have factory reset, wiped cache, and delvik, it is just stuck on CWM.
Can anyone help me with this or did I just totally break the thing? Thank You.
what did you use to flash the rom?
Try doing a cold boot......volume down and power (like you would to boot into recover) but release the keys when the white writting comes up on screen and press nothing.
use v+ and v- to toggle and select the Android or let it kick in itself.
sounds like youve used rom manager
Broke my TF101

Thank You Scotty: That did get me back so it boots up. None of my computers will see it. Wondering if maybe the cable took a dump. I did use rom Manager. At this point I would like to bring everything back to stock and start over. Any suggestions on how to bring back to stock with sync cable not working?

best just to get the sync cable and use one of the tools available to make sure it gets done right.

EDIT:
UPDATED POST AT THE BOTTOM!
Hey guys,
flashed czechops CM 10.2 a while ago everything was running fine.
On Saturday i decided to let the battery drain completely to do a full recharge. That`s when the Problems started.
After booting the Phone up i was stuck in a Bootloop with the Cyanogenmod Logo turning around and around and around and so on.
Okay i thought let`s reboot and see what happens.
Still the same.
I then booted into recovery by holding the x button on the keyboard and power and then when the androind in the triangle showed up using vol + and vol - to get into recovery.
I then deleted the cache and rebooted again (No full wipe to factory default trying to avoid that).
After that the phone turned on saying Android is getting updated Updating Package x of y.
After its done its now stuck in Apps getting started.
After i found out to get to the Bootmenu i decided to check the Recovery Menu there.
I can choose between Motorola Stock Recovery (the normal one i already was on)
and Team Win Recovery.
So i choose Team Win Recovery and thought okay since its not working im gonna install the Update of czechops 10.2
Installing itself worked fine. But now im stuck in the same loops.
Currently im goind a Backup of the System with the Team Win Recovery in the hope i wont loose the data even if what im trying to avoid a full factory wipe.
What kinda poped in my eyes when i started the recovery was that it said E: Unable to locate '/boot' partition for backup.
Could this be the problem which is stopping the phone from booting correctly?
And if so how can i fix it?
Hope anyone can help me,
Kind Regards,
Invi
I had te same problem before doing a clean install.
I don't know why but, if you install the android 10.0 tezet and from there start the gapps, creating a account and installing your apps, you do not have problems to install the 10.2.
Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up jonas.
Unfortunately its too late its seems. My Milestone is just a stone now it seems.
After trying to install 10.2 12.03.14 and that not working correct after doing a full factory wipe i decided to install cm 11 from czechop.
Unfortunately it seems it failed.
My milestone just boots up and stops at the First Logo. No lights. No chance to get in any recovery mode except the normal one.
Bootloader was working some time but stopped cause the Battery is almost empty.
The Problem is i cant even load the Phone anymore cause as soon as i put it on a charger it boots up and wont get enough battery power to live for a few minutes.
So the only thing left working is the normal Android 3e Recovery. Hope i can do anything from there.
Don't give up.
Your problem it's normal, you fisrt need a global battery charger to recharge your battery.
After it, go to boot recovery, you must turn on the milestone holding " volume down + camera" or "volume up + camera", than you need to uses the RSD Lite to reflash your milestone 2.
Normaly, when do you came from another room, you stay in boot loop, so you need to entery in Miestone recovery, "x + volume down" than after it you do a factory reset. It will boot normaly after that.
To go to boot recovery, you must turn on.
Try harder.
(Guys, lets try to help a little)
Sorry about my poor english
I wont. Already ordered an global battery charger yesterday. In the mail from the store delivery is 7-10 Weekdays.
Good thing i have a second cellphone which i can use in the meantime.
i had a similar scenario

hi, I had a similar situation to that earlier today, in that I got to the situation where on boot up I got the Motorola logo then nothing else (I was trying to install C.M. 11 from 10.2 but when it went to install got a message E;// error - verification signature installation aborted), after major panic thinking I'd bricked my milestone, I tried starting the phone in bootloader mode (press camera, volume up and power buttons at the same time) which gives a black screen saying boot loader 70.13 and towards the bottom says boot menu, connect USB, then on your pc find program MOTOROLA SOFTWARE UPDATER (hope you've got it) open the program, it'll say connect a device plug your phone in and let it do it's stuff, takes about an hour (charge your battery using a desktop battery charger beforehand) and your phone will be returned to the stock Motorola rom but at least your phone isn't a brick and you can always start again trying cyanogenmod.
hope this helps

So i downloaded Motorola Software Updater and RSD Lite + Motorola Device Manager newest Version
Unfortunately my Milestone seems not to be recognized by either Software updater nor RSD Lite.
In the Device Manager S Flash OMAP3630 shows up and is recognized.
Im running Windows 8.1 x64 and on a second Computer Windows 7 x64
What tool can i use ander Linux? Maybe the Phone will be recognized there.
EDIT:
K found it. Doing it with Linux at the Moment. Its working.
Only need to Root it then and after that flash my old Files and hope they are working.
At least i have an old Backup i made from Tezet before going up to 10.2 which i made with Clockworkmod
Hope it will work and not be broken like the one i made with Team Win Recovery.
Anyone knows how i can change stuff in a Team Win Backup?

I did find it took a long time for the Motorola software updater (about 20 mins) to detect my milestone 2 (I'm using windows7 x64), I'm thinking the mistake I made when trying to upgrade to CM 11 was I didn't wipe data/cache before trying to install it

Hi mark,
well Windows popped up saying N/A
when it should show new Software.
It also couldnt recognize my Cellphone correctly it seemed.
But i flashed it with Linux anyways.
Flashing to tezet`s 10 worked also like a charm
and i could install my Backup i made in december before
updating to czechops 10.2.
Guess after i know what to do now i will try to update to cm11 now.

let us know how you get on as I'm tempted to try again (I do like how CM10 gets rid of all the un-necessary apps but gives you control of all the system parameters) but want to step up to CM11 without having the same problem as before.
