I just flashed the new recovery and my screen almost looks like Toms did, slight more gibberish. Trying to upload image now

You can tell the TWRP logo loads up first than the standard grey squares

Advent vega tegra note

Hi

I'm hoping to get an advent vega tegra note over the weekend, I believe these are the same device - not overly competent with android, had another tablet and used cwm but would like to get into it more with the vega :)

Quick Boot

Ok will do, ill try the new one you have uploaded and ill fall back on CWM worste case scenerio. Ill report back in aprox 7 hours

This may be a dumb question, but is there currently a way to to boot into recovery while loaded into android? usually i got spoiled and it was added into the power menu but im positive that was a rom feature. Or is the only way to do it is threw adb or button presses?


There's an app called Quick Boot that will do that. Get it from the Play Store. Tried it and works.

This is one of the last few tests, everything works appart from the User Interface, I've narrowed it down so if this one doesnt clearly show the UI, the next TWRP recovery should show the User Interface. Also note to everyone, I dont see any development going on? there is a CWM recovery that functions in the OP, I've made a backup with it etc, kernel development is what developers should be working on now since recovery is working. TWRP is my personal preference, thats the reason I'm bringing it to Tegra Note 7 as it has much more advanced features and optimizations than CWM...

With tests hopefully will have a fully working TWRP tonight... also may start on kernel development at a later stage or maybe sooner depending on whenever I manage to get my device fixed, If and when I can get access to nvflash mode via the nvflash binary, I definitely will be able to fix my device as I have all the necessary required files, even if I could gain access to fastboot mode I'd be able to fix the device, plenty of methods to fix, just need access to 1 of these modes....

Thanks for your efforts, I'd be happy to make a $10 PayPal donation towards a new one if you can't fix it sorry it can't be more

Thanks that would be awesome, link is under my username :)
@everyone else, Ive managed to get TWRP showing and on screen correctly (needs a little tweaking), 1 more issue left which is a major issue, that is touchscreen, people who have updated to 4.3 your touchscreen will not work on TWRP compared to 4.2.2, their touchscreen should work, nvidia has done changes to touchscreen, but they havent released kernel source so theres 2 options, both require patience,
1 - wait for nvidia to release kernel source
2 - modify the bct partitions and expand the recovery partition
using a precompiled kernel takes the recovery to a whooping 9MB and the recovery partition size is only 8.3MB max. So touch wont work unless you're on 4.2.2 ( I will release the recovery.img for 4.2.2 if someone could test this please) thanks
So for now its best to use CWM, functions well, does the job, now its onto custom kernel... :)

Ill see in the future if i can modify code to use buttons to toggle TWRP options instead of touchscreen

    Thank you for the update Shaky.
    Looks like there's a little glitch now that the display is flipped correctly. Apparently on my device there's a part on the right that is not flipped, and also that part belongs to the left side off the screen.
    Here's a screen shot to illustrate it.
    Hi I'm aware of the issue, I always test before release, minor graphic glitch does not affect using the recovery, will attempt to fix on next update :)

    Once at bootloader type in terminal/cmd fastboot oem unlock and follow intructions till the end...
    WARNING DEVICE WILL WIPE USERDATA(EVERYTHING)
    Device is now unlocked

    Thanks.

    Firstly a big thanks to Pacattack and Tomsgt for all the help they have given me over our problem with installing the latest ota.
    Much appreciated by a complete novice to fastboot, updater scripts etc.
    I have finally successfully installed the ota using Tomsgts tool.
    Had a couple of worrying moments when it all seemed to freeze but made it in the end.
    Thanks once again.
    Cheers,
    drc.
