Advent Vega Restore Procedure

It took me ages to find the instructions on how to restore my Advent Vega to its original configuration using the restore image off the myadventvega website, so hopefully this'll save you a bit of time:



To restore your Advent Vega to our latest base image, please follow the steps below:
DOING THIS WILL REMOVE ALL YOUR APPLICATIONS – YOUR SD CARD STORAGE WILL NOT BE AFFECTED

• Download the Advent Vega USB Flash driver from www.myadventvega.co.uk
• Download the latest Advent Vega restore image from www.myadventvega.co.uk
• Extract the USB flash drivers to a folder on your PC (eg C:\Advent\)
• Connect the Advent Vega to your Windows PC with the supplied USB cable, you must also have the Vega PLUGGED INTO THE POWER SOCKET
• Place the Advent Vega into recovery mode by: 

     Turn the Vega off by holding down the POWER button for 6 seconds

     Once off, hold the BACK button down for 2 seconds
     Then, whilst keeping the BACK button held, press and hold the POWER button for 2 seconds
     Then release just the POWER button but keep holding the BACK button for a further 2 seconds
     Release the BACK button

• If this is the first time you have completed this you will need to install the Advent Vega recovery driver
• Windows should automatically prompt you for a driver – if so point it to the folder you extracted the driver to above – THIS DRIVER IS CURRENTLY NOT SIGNED – YOU WILL NEED TO ALLOW THE DRIVER TO BE INSTALLED WHEN PROMPTED – DO NOT BE ALARMED BY THIS MESSAGE

• Once installed, double-click on the Advent Vega Restore Image file downloaded above.
• A DOS window will appear – DO NOT REMOVE OR POWER OFF YOUR DEVICE DURING THIS PROCESS.
• Once the image is installed, you will be prompted to press ENTER to exit. Your Advent Vega should now be restored/updated.
• Remove the USB cable.
• Power on your Advent Vega – Your system will now be updated.
