[FIX] New Vega Flash Updater Not Working For You?

---

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.

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,

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

what do you mean ?

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.
