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

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?
Hi everyone
First post here. I've been reading a lot in xda forums about rooting, installing cooked roms and stuff.
I've managed to root my x8, installed xrecovery (this saved my *** a few times).
As you guys know, to install the newest roms you gotta have the 015 baseband, and i got the old one (006).
I got all the tools i need, superoneclick, flashtool, correct baseband file and the original one just in case.
But somehow i can't get into flash mode. I unplug the cable, turn off the phone, hold the back button, plug the cable again while holding the back butto. The green light turns on for a minute, then.....nothing. The phone wont turn on unless i release this button, and if i release it i get out of flash mode :/
Has this happened to any of you guys?
ps: i noticed this baseband thing since i installed a cooked rom and got an infinite reboot loop. But i had the xrecovery installed, i just restored to my original firmware (it's 2.1 btw) and works great.
EDIT: I forgot to say that i can't use pcc recovery or seus because of this flash mode problem (they both work, but i get stuck at the flashing step)
Why dont u get update baseband from pcc first?so u can freely installing any custom rom,
Sent from my X8 using xda pertamax
Thanks for the reply.
I can't do any upgrade/update through pcc because when i get to those 4 steps (unplug, turn off, press and hold back and plug in) i get stuck in a black screen. I can never get to the flash mode screen, so neither pcc nor seus or flashtool can do the trick since they ask me to follow the same steps.
So far the only things i've succesfully done were
*root
*installed io file manager
*installed root explorer
*installed xrecovery
*installed a ROM without knowing about the "baseband thing" and messed the phone (but ran a restore with xrecovery and it worked great)
Any other ideas?
Could it be that when i overwrote chargemon in system/bin during the xrecovery install the flash menu got disabled? In that case i would need an original chargemon mmm....
That was it, the xrecovery version i was using was very old. I installed a newer version with flashtool. Problem SOLVED

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

ok heres what i did i wanted to upgrade my phone to the newest version GB 2.3.4.So what i did was download the update and i followed the installation steps i successfully updated to Gb 2.3.4. so like i was checking how it look and the new feature but when i wanted to go on the android market i went to setting and turn on the wifi and it said Error and then i tried the Bluetooth and it said Error also so then i put my SIMs card in and i was like imma use DATA then and when i restarted my phone it had service but no HSPA+ or Edge or GPRS so like i just hatted my phone from their so then i was trying to root it but iddnt know how to do that so like i read this website and i got the UPDATE.APP or 2.2.2 AT&T did the same steps of the installation of BG 2.3.4 and it went to the process and 1/2 stepp good it passed and then 2/2 also passed it installed it and when it said Successively Installed it said Restarting and the scrren turn of and it vibrated and thats all that happened and i left it like that for the whole days and nothing happened
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
Hope this helps a little

yesterday, i try to root and install CWM via Prime V4.5
then the device comes this .....
Thanks ...
Never heard of that root utility before. You may not have used the right rooting utility for your device which can cause a brick situation. Also, are u sure u dont have the tf 101 and not thr tf prime? The vipermod utility found in the tf prime forum will root ics for both the 101 and prime. My suggestion is that u make sure u have the right device and search the right forum for brick recovery, unroot, or return to stock threads. They are usually found in the development sections.

viperMod PrimeTime 4.5 will only root the TF101 and shouldn't be used to install CWM. That's why it bricked.

I might be able to help you... I saw your post around 4am. I had the same problem kinda. Was asleep most the day (got done at 6am).
I rooted with viperMod PrimeTime and it worked !
BUT i forgot to FLASH CWM RECOVERY from inside the app and proceeded to install the new ROM after root was made USING the CWM app. What happened in my case , the CWM app restarted trying to flash the new ROM, WITHOUT CWM being my recovery instead rebooted to STOCK recovery and something glitched up. I had the same thing as you stuck on Eee pad never re-starting. Cold boot wouldn't work or full wipe..In my case something conflicted.
Below is the NVFlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 (Latest Build). You need to re-flash again using APX threw your USB connected to a PC (it self installs) :
http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/tr...stock-3-2-recovery-roms-unbricking-tools.html
the links are in Grey btw and says US version, ect ..read everything but its very straight forward... ill explain what i did toward the end of the post to simplify it since it took awhile to figure it out. Ill add side comments threw the process that explains better than the link.
Attention: These tools are designed to bring your device back to working condition. They are great for getting back to stock if you need to send your device in for repair or you need to downgrade to stock in order to root your device, etc.
Instructions for Windows users:
1. download the file from the original link i gave above. NVFlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 (Latest Build) USWindows
2. unpack zip to desktop.
3. Press Volume up and Power at the same time on your Transformer to enter APX mode, connect to pc (hold for about 7 seconds). Basically, Power off.. THAN, power and Volume up at the same time to enter APX mode. IMPORTANT!! the screen remains BLACK like its frozen ,with no writing or indication something is happening. that's normal and the original poster in the link never mentioned it. That is APX mode..
4. drivers for APX are in there if you need them..inside the windows downloaded file its called NVFLASH towards the bottom
On your PC go Device manager.. if APX is working correctly and the Transformer is in APX mode it will appear as an exclamation on the device manager named APX.. you cant miss it.. it stands out. On my Windows 7 PC it changed and said Asus USB (or something like that)
5. double click Run Download.bat file and let run! everything is prepackaged so no copying files, etc. In the same file you downloaded that you unzipped named Windows its the 4th file that says "download" with a gear looking icons.
Your Transformer (based on what happened with mine) will go threw a self install like its pushing files and flashing it..the black screen looks like its being pushed the files and reflashing without a recovery. Your going back to stock. if you dont see anything on your Transformer screen after running/double clicking the Download.bat file ....Right click on APX in the device manager , properties, Drivers, update Firmware, choose manual install and find the Downloaded.bat file and click it. That should do the trick..I did both and only noticed the Transformer lighting up after manually pushing it threw APX.
6. After the device reboots power it off. Then hold vol- and power until you get the option to erase your data.... Select the option to wipe data.
7. Download the latest update from the Asus website if applicable and follow the manual instructions. This step may not be necessary if your OTA update worked or my nvflash is the latest version. US update on there site is 9.2.1.17.Its the only one...
What i did was go back to stock since i didn't see any interesting ROMS..Point is THAT unbricked my device by flashing it in APX mode when it was connected to the PC.
I did use ViperMod again to Root, but used the Clockwork mod app in my Transformer to FLASH CWM RECOVERY to try a few ROMS out.
After trying a few of them out i choose to revert everything to stock, unrooted and reflashed STOCK recovery.
Hopefully that helps you out.. it did work for me...
Thank you so much it worked great

Glad i could help
Sorry to dig up slightly old threads, but I have a question for you. I have a TF101 that I was trying to update to ICS. It is currently running 3.2 courtesy of the unbricking tool listed in this thread. I had to unstore it as it was bricked from a bad install. That was many moons ago. It won't show an updaate listed, so I decided to go with the manual route. I downloaded the appropriate update (my device lists WW version) loaded it on an SD card had the install prompt come up and rebooted to install... For a split second it shows the android with the gears like it is installing the update and then shows the android with a triangle and exclamation mark. After that, nothing. I have to reboot to get it off that screen. Upon booting, I get a message saying system update failed (2) unknown error. Any ideas?
If Im not mistaken, the zip file you download (I guess from asus?) contains another zip.
Thats the zip you should place on your SD card, did you do that?
Also try renaming that zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip (the one extracted)
I already had the zip extracted, and renaming didn't do anything.

Are you rooted? Did you remove any system apps?
Another thing to try is on your micro sd card, make a folder name ASUS and inside that folder another folder call Update, inside the Update folder put the extracted zip file (don't rename). Turn off TF and turn it back on, see if it will detect the update file.
If that fail, you did mentioned you use the unbricking tool, use that NVFlash to flash a compatible ICS ROM
It isn't rooted anymore since I ran the unbricking tool, and no system files were modified. Placing it in Asus>Update folder didn't work. I may end up having to really do things manually...

You don't need to be root to use NVFlash.
Just when with a slightly older version of the update and it worked. There may be something wrong with the file Asus has hosted.
Hi
I have a slightly different problem. I have rooted my B60 serial number, it has the ICS from ASUS on it and it boots fine, its rooted and it works. Now the problem is I thought lets try a clockwork mod and play with custom roms.
So I set my win 7 up to adb etc, and pressed power button volume button - and off to recovery I went...
but all I got was a little green android on its back chest open and an exclamtion mark. No adb fastboot devices command.
I seem not to have a recovery nor a way of forcing a custom recovery.
Should I NV flash or just be happy the tab works and leave well alone?
Any other answers since a lack of recovery may come back to haunt me sooner or later.
I also tried the power button vol uyp for 7 secs and nothing happens I can get to the cold boot erase data option on power down, don't want to do that yet since Im not sure what data gets erased and I may have a totally non working tab.
Use RecoveryInstaller to install cwm recovery
Use RecoveryInstaller to install cwm recovery
This is my problem I can't get recovery - nor can I get adb to see the device. It shows as a hard drive/storage device but not in adb.

Are you on Stock ICS? or do you have custom the bootloader?
If you're on OTA Stock ICS, when booting your tablet, try holding down the volume down button, and moving the lock orientation switch on and off, that should erase data and cache, essentially a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you might have to pull out your SD card, and get an OTA update zip.

Place the downloaded file onto the root of your SD, then reboot the Iconia and hold the volume up key. This will force it into the recovery to reinstall ICS.
If you're not on stock, boot yourself into APX mode, by turning off the tab, then with a paper clip, hold the reset button, while doing that, press the power button for two seconds, release power button, then release the reset button.This should bring you into APX mode. After that, use Blackthunders APX tool, provided you have your CPUID and SBK, to reflash the bootloader. This will reinstall the recovery and bootloader, from which you can re flash the ROM
Hi,
I'm in a similar boat, so instead of starting a new thread, I hope you don't mind I hitch hike on yours.
My iconia got stuck at the loading screen with "android" being displayed.
I'm on stock HC, had this problem once before, and managed to find a rom and flashed to get it going.
But this time, when I flashed the same rom that worked last time, the tablet said "unofficial rom" upon reboot. Tried a few other roms to no avail.
Just wondering if there's a original official Aust. rom that I can download and reflash my iconia?
Thanks

Stock HC after 3.1 is unrootable so you need to go back to 3.1 and take the ota to 3.2 and 3.2.1..or
Forget HC and flash the v8 bootloader from 3.1 and get yaself some ics/jb goodness!
There's a nz ota update.zip for 3.1 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049778
