Now it's time to get a recover image onto your system.
A recovery image is a very basic operating system that allows you to do fundamental operations on the system... for those of you old enough, think of it as a boot floppy disk!
It's a bit complicated to get it set up the first time, but here we go...
First you need to install the Android Development Kit.
Then turn on debugging on your tablet : Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging
Plug in your tablet, and you should see a little bug in the task bar.
Once you have installed the Android Dev Kit (I recommend you install it to the c:\android directory) open up a command prompt and navigate to C:\android\tools
Type: adb devices
You should then see your device listed:
If you don't see it you'll need to go to device manager, find the unknown device, and install the ADB driver from C:\android\usb_driver
Now you are ready to start installing the Recovery Image.
Download the recovery image from:
and extract the two files and place them in c:\android\tools
Then run the following commands:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/flash_image
adb shell /data/local/flash_image recovery /data/local/recovery.img
Now all you need is a simple way to reboot your Vega into Recovery Mode: just install Vega Recovery Boot from the market.
Many thanks must must go to Paul at Modaco for these instructions (and the file). I'm a subscriber to Modaco, and am very happy with the support for the Advent Vega there.
