[Q] Vega clone flashing problem

[Malavolent]

Hello there, so it would appear that I've screwed up a big time. It's better if I tell you the whole story, so someone can help me.

I have this Vega clone with Froyo on it and I actually managed to delete the stock launcher with Titanium Backup. I though I wouldn't need it anymore (I know, I know) since I had GoLauncher installed. It worked well until I decided to flash a different ROM. So I formated the phone, erasing all the data, GoLauncher included. And of course I ran into a problem. I can't get past the Froyo setup wizard (probably because of the deleted stock Launcher), it just crashes everytime I try to finish the setup and returns back to the start.

After many tries I've decided to flash a Stock Vega ROM seeing as it should be compatible with my tablet. I put the device into APX mode, installed necesarry Nvidia drivers and tried to flash it with the exe downloaded from Vega homepage. And this is the main problem, the program works for a while and then it stops at creating BCT partition, showing this error:

C:\Users\LUK~1\AppData\Local\Temp>nvflash.exe --bct H5PS1G83EFR-S6C_V24_0625.bct

I've been trying to fix this for two days now and I'm getting desperate. I found several posts on other forums where some users had the same problem, but there was no solution posted anywhere.


Does anyone know, what may be the cause of this error and how can I fix this?

Alternatively, is there another solution to the problem I've created?

Does it happen with all nvflash roms ?
if yes see below, if no try one of Scannos roms first before proceeding below.

Can you unzip the nvflash.exe, any zip prgram should do this, even if you rename it to nvflash.zip.
Then edit the command to flash and exclude flashing the bct cause this looks like this is where it's falling down. Just use the other commands. For an example see below. The full command is first. So edit out the bct bit.

nvflash.exe --bct flash.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --odmdata 0x000c0075 --create --go

Try something like

nvflash.exe --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --odmdata 0x000c0075 --create --go

See how you get on with that. And as usual I'm not responsible if your tablet blows up, goes on fire or whatever. You could try asking over on modaco or tabletroms forum, look for Scanno or EJTagle.

You could also try this.

Actually reading around I don't think you need to extract the nvflash.exe/zip but it's worth a shot.

Sorry about the long post.

Thank you for your reply Stephen.

if yes see below, if no try one of Scannos roms first before proceeding below.

Forgot to mention this, yes it happens with all roms.

Can you unzip the nvflash.exe, any zip prgram should do this, even if you rename it to nvflash.zip.
Then edit the command to flash and exclude flashing the bct cause this looks like this is where it's falling down. Just use the other commands. For an example see below. The full command is first. So edit out the bct bit.

nvflash.exe --bct flash.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --odmdata 0x000c0075 --create --go

Ok, so the full command for the stock nvflash is:

nvflash.exe --bct H5PS1G83EFR-S6C_V24_0625.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --configfile flash.cfg --odmdata 0x0b0c0075 --create --go

I've tried to get rid of all the BCT parts, but it doesn't seem to work even if I delete a single argument. Always ends up like this:

command failure: --setbct required for --create
or
command failure: bootloader download failed

So I don't think I can affor skipping any of these.

See how you get on with that. And as usual I'm not responsible if your tablet blows up, goes on fire or whatever. You could try asking over on modaco or tabletroms forum, look for Scanno or EJTagle.

Already posted my problem on both forums, got no replies so far.

You could also try this...

Tried, unfortunately it didn't work.

Sorry about the long post.

No problem, you're the only one who has tried to help me so far.

When you unzip the nvflash rom can you send the config file please. Flash.cfg I think it's called.

This looks weird to me.
load address: 0x108000 entry point: 0x108000
failed executing command 16 NvError 0x120002
Looks like it's pointing in teh wrong direction.

I could be totally way off but figure it's worth a go.

There you go, hopefully you can find out what's wrong.

What kind of clone is it ? Is it a Gtab ?

Couple of things to try/read over at your leisure.

After this not sure what else to try to be honest. Either it's a bad block on the nand or a clone of the vega and the Roms aren't taking to it.

Is it a P10AN01 ?
