Exclamation Bricked my Advent Vega

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!

Elena
