I have created the vendor files for the advnet vega based apon the cyanogen ones for the Gtab, and compiled CM6 for the vega. This is not supported by cyanogen's team yet as the vega isnt officialy supported by them yet so please take that into mind (dont ask for support on the cyanonen irc ect u probably wont get it) but feel free to ask support on this thred.
Nither me or the CyanogenMod team take no responsability for any damage caused bu this rom. by flashing it means u understand this risks and accept the risks.
What doesnt work :-
- Camera
- Rotation can be funny (if it works at all)
[UPDATE]
- Black Screen Of death can occur when rebooting (looking into this ASAP) so be prepared to restore
What works :-
- Every thing else (i think)
[INSTALL]
1) get the .zip file from the bottion of the post
2) copy it to SD card
3) reboot into recovery
4) MAKE NANDROID BACKUP
5) flash zip from recovery (you will get a boot write error thats normal)
6) reboot
7) DONE

(Please note at the current time the boot.img that the compile creates will not work on the vega to u will have to make one by extracting the original ramdisk from the boot.img)
thanks mate been tring with cyanogenmod for gtablet..gonna try now. THis bad boy vega need some action
got error message:
assert failed: package_extract_file("boot.img" ,"/temp/boot.img")
E:Error in /sdcard/CM-6.2.0-Vega.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
edit: fixed.
I successfully installed, I put the original boot.img from vega into the zip, taking it for a spin now. Thanks Apache14.
I sold my Vega because of the screen imo wasnt great and the wi-fi issue.
Would have loved to have tried this rom though.
Good work !!!
Thanks to apache14 and everyone involved
How do we get market onto the tab. thanks in advance
Dunno about market any CM6 compatable gapps will work ..... also the adding boot.img isnt needed as there is no need to flash the boot.img (the stock advent one works pritty well for now)

thx mate, misread the first post
Anyone working on fixing the black screen of death on cold boot a lot of people are getting with clockwork? I know there are enough people who don't have CW installed because of this that anything that depends on it will have a more limited appeal.

I have installed clockwork a couple of times and no black screen of death. Its straight forward.
Follow the instruction paul gave on modaco.
Download the Recovery image and flash utility and extract to desktop
open terminal
adb devices to make sure your device is connected
cd to the directory of file you just extract
then type
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
thats done.
If you on mcr 6, the vega reboot recovery is already installed if not download from the market.
cheers

Yes, it's very straightforward. I've done it a few times too and followed the instructions. I still get the bsod as do a number of others. Without CM installed, no bsod...
Try power cycling your Vega back-to-back using the power button. I bet you'll get it to bsod reasonably quickly.
BSOD
Some people have reported black screen of death when rebooting with the power menu. so be careful and be prepared to restore (or flash stock boot,img again)
I am looking into this error now and hope to have a fix pritty soon

i fixed it. Copy boot.img,system.img and ramdisk.img from vega into the cyanogenmod zip,then flash, it also boot into recovery using rom manager.
Note: Do not unzip the cyanogengenmod, just use winrar to open it and copy those files into it then close it

So I did all this, and now have a device that is....
... exactly the same as before but with CWR installed (even says it's MoDaCo ROM). The flashing process took only a few seconds and no boot write error. Am I missing something here?
EDIT: hang on... just realised the zip file was wrong!!
To get the market and apps
Download http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip, then flash using rom manager. then once you reboot you should get all your apps and market. enjoy

Hi,
Sorry if I'm wrong,
But thanks to NK02 mentioning in a thread to make one small change to boot.img ramdisk I now have JACHero 2.7.3 fully working (WIFI Bluetooth & FAST!) on my Magic 32B.
I used the normal update.zip from the dream forum, and extracted and changed the boot.img and flashed it in fastboot.
Heres the boot.img to save you making the change as well
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R8OX15W1
I had also previously partitioned my sd card to have an ext2 and swap partition, all of which have been set up automatically so I know the boot.img is working as intended.
Very happy bunny now
UPDATE:
Seems to work for some. Having your SD card prepped with 3 partitions helps a lot.
Speed is going to be slower than say the NK02 Cyano ROM, but thats down to Rosie and the limited RAM, don't think we'll ever get that perfect.
At least now we know a way to use Dream Roms easily (sorry 32A owners, I think K4R1M will have something for you later)
UPDATE 5PM
i just used same method on cyanogens latest rom and works perfectly
Sounds real nice :> What about the gyro/compass ? Doesnt seem to work for me when using the original JACHero 2.7.3
Running well after 1 hour, widgets all stock not removed any and NO rosie reloads.
Little bit of lag, but nothing terrible (and for me to say that means it is hardly there!)
Anyone else tried it? I want to rule out me doing something silly
Compass working (at least in sky map)
Hi Again
Trying to set-up my sd card paritions, but parted command in adb shell is not working (not found error). Do I need a particular recovery image to be able to use parted ?
Thanks!

i dont think there is a magic recovery with the parted command. thats why i used a Gparted live usb boot (google unetbootin - will create a bootable usb stick for you) and a card reader in my netbook (yes I use a MSI wind with OSX )
well done dazcox.
can you please describe the process people need to take to load up boot.img?
eg. recovery screen, wipe, flash G1 ROM, reboot, let ROM load, reboot into fastboot, flash boot.img,.. and the required commands etc.
might be annoying, but it'll help to answer the flood of questions that your answer has brought
presumably as each new ROM produces changes we will need to edit the boot.img each time, as they may contain updates, yah?
Yes, I would assume each time new release we make the change.
My Process was this.
download the scripts from http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
(beware if on OSX google and download newer cpio utility and copy to /usr/bin)
Download JAChero 2.7.3 full from dream forum
rename downloaded file to update.zip and copy to sd
on computer open update.zip and extract boot.img
Use unpack-bootimg.pl boot.img to extract the kernel and ramdisk
in the ramdisk dir rename init.trout.rc to init.sapphire.rc
repack-bootimg.pl boot.img-kernel.gz boot.img-ramdisk boot1.img
On your phone reboot to recovery (I use amon ra recovery from this forum)
BACKUP (nandroid is your saviour)
wipe
apply update.zip
reboot, but go straight to fastboot (vol down + power)
in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot1.img
reboot
enjoy
*decide you want to try something else and start all over again*
For me who already have JACHero 2.7.3 installed with the cyanogen kernel, can I just flash the boot.img or do I need to make a complete wipe and include it into the update.zip?

I might later, probably not though, as it's really easy to do.
I've followed the steps, and after flashing the boot1.img adn rebooting, the phone is really taking forever.
The screen is totally dark but i know the phone is on as i can enter through adb to it.
Any tips?
I had from before a class 6 card with 3 partitions, FAT, ext2 and swap (in that order).
Thanks
did you wipe/flash the normal (not ported) jachero rom first?
Then fastboot flash the boot.img?
Yes please +1

With the new update all predone all that needs doing is the partitioning of the sd card to be fat32 + ext2 then update rom in normal way, correct?

I decided to try just flash the boot image before redoing it all to see what would happen, and it is actually working Wifi and gyro didnt work before but is now.
The only thing is that Bluetooth A2D2 mode (playing music) doesn't seem to work. It says "playing media through bluetooth headset" but I get no sound. Can anyone confirm that this is working for you? If so maybe I will need to wipe and reinstall anyway.

Can you explain how this is done? When I run the files does it copy what is on the phone to the computer so that I can just re-image it back onto the phone?
I maybe asking questions, but I really don't know what I am doing and want to be safe. I already have the one click flasher by noobnl, I trust him. I just want to be sure and understand what I am doing.

No it saves under clockwork mod on the sd card in 3 convenient files. So when u flash a custom rom u can run restore and it will restore all your files and data.
Defy Froyo 3.4.2 Cookie Cutter Rom​
Q. How Do I use the Update.zip?
A. Go to Market & Download Defy SD-Recovery & Install..
1. Next place the Update.zip on the /sdcard via PC
2. Turn on MoTo Phone Portal ( SD-Recovery is SD Based so you need to Turn Off USB Mass Storage )
3. ADB Debugging does not have to be Turned Off on my version
Once Booted into the Recovery apply the update.zip
wait a few minutes & it should be done...
Please Reads the notes I left in the Update.zip if you build a Custom Update.zip, this will save you trouble down the road.
What's Flashed?
A. Boot.img
B. dev_tree
C. Moto Blur 3.4.2 Rom ( Yes I know it's not the latest, built off what I had )
D. UNO & TMO-TV Removed
E. Rooted ( SU & Superuser )
F. Busybox Installed to xbin
G. Rest of Rom is stock
Once installed, remove eugene.apk from /system/app ( Old boot strap that need adb turned off before rebooting / defy sd-recovery does not have this issue)
Q. I Edited the update.zip & Now it fails verf. in recovery when trying to flash!

Hey eugene,
Glad to see you working on Defy too
I think this will be major help for developers and btw that 3.4.2 version did you used? since there are many of them.
Thanks.
um. 107 I think since it has a floating update.zip someplace & sbf.

you can not use cwm due encryption. If you dont know what an update.zip is stick to nandroid...

CwM can do exactly the same afaik, i've already made quite a few update.zip with it.
after reading all your notes, do you actually mean that we can't use format on those patitions?
if you do, well, i learned it the hard way, and delete_recursive also works for me.
thanks for putting up an excellent example if not for anything else, it's much needed.

Correct, you can only format with the stock recovery ( Hence the reason why I used the Stock Recovery ) any Partition with cwm recovery will cause a non-booting system..
regarding cwm I've not tested it, so Likely it will work.. Steven is still working on the cwm recovery & there is no point in me adding another cwm bootstrap recovery... Mine is just pure stock & works perfect.
I'm still weeding through the /bin /etc file's to find exactly what needs left...
but main goal was to provide an example of what is needed to make an update.zip with out breaking the system.

Read OP.... Download Defy SD-Recovery from Market
Yeah, I read again slowly and understood.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Thanks to dangpzanco for the GREAT IDEA.
I finally got my Rooted GB working here. I can't provide a download link now but I'm going to do it later for sure.
Apparently there was a final signature check that was done somewhere after mounting the cache partition, preventing me from booting with a pure update.zip on top of froyo /system. Thanks to dangpzanco I could bypass it and get root.
Quick Guide (requires froyo, root and Droid2bootstrapper):
1. Download fixed SBF bellow. It's made from the CH leak containing ONLY: CG35.smg (boot) CG47.smg (recovery) CG61.smg (devtree) firmware.hmg (header) RAMDLD.smg (flash updater).
2. Download root_and_recovery.zip and copy it to SD Card.
3. Download full leaked SBF from General Forum (CH, signed) and use MotoAndroidDepacker to extract all images.
4. Copy the CG39.smg to /sdcard/
5. Boot into CWM
6. From CWM open adb shell and use this command: dd if=/sdcard/cg39.sm of=/dev/block/system
7. Still on CWM apply root_and_recovery.zip
8. Still on CWM wiped everything
9. Boot on bootloader and flash fixed SBF
10. Reboot
I actually did the same thing! I read it somewhere in one of the topics. I installed Defy BootMenu instead of CWM. Works great! Right now I've almost removed all the Chinese crap and got the GApps working (from CM7).
I also removed the Blur items for the Chinese SN's. I'll see if I can get Twitter and Facebook working with it.
2nd-init would be nice too actually. Does the method provided in the other thread work with this ROM?
Edit: the instructions were indeed from dangpzanco!
And right now I found a possible bug. My camera doesn't work. Everything is black and stays black. Photo's are take as they should however.
Can you check whether you have the same issue?

Here it works fine. Have you tried to edit /system/build.prop?
Change device from ME722 to A953.
Yes, I changed it to A953...
Maybe I have deleted something that was necessary for the viewfinder... But what xD
Edit: Allright, nevermind. Somehow a reboot fixed it :-D On to the next step
Something bad happened when I tried to apply 2nd-init on this. The phone rebooted just after 2nd M logo not allowing me to get into CWM. Wierd, since CWM should take place before 2nd-init. Will need to raflash froyo and start over. We should find a way to root Gingerbread without CWM to make things faster.
That's odd indeed. I have to say, I think the CWM method of rooting is actually quite easy. For SuperOneClick I need to get my PC/laptop out every time and with the update.zip I can do it as I please.
I really hope you'll succeed wit 2nd-init. If you need help, just shout! Today and tomorrow I have enough time.
I'll make a nandroid of my current setup, so I can continue trying out stuff.

Yeps, it is easy indeed, but to do it I need to SBF froyo before installing GB again. In other words if I mess up the phone I will need to flash 2 versions instead of one. That's why it would be easier to flash just GB.
Hey there, nice I could help.
I think you could copy the /dev/block/system back after rooting and build the SBF with it.

I tried that with froyo but it didn't work.
you can try also this defy leaked gb rooted nandroid backup.
http://www.multiupload.com/SPZ8SIEC60
version 4.5.1-134 multilanguage.
use fixedsbf from new leaked milestone2 rom and milestone2patch from MS2Ginger thread.
In this rom /system/app/kpilogger.apk cause battery drain so delete it after install.
Something is seriously wrong... My backlight never shuts down. It's black, but when it's dark you'll see it's still on!
I actually can't change the brightness from settings. So I did a complete reinstall and the problem persists!
I'm using brightcontrol app now to adjust the brightness, but does anyone else has this issue? Or is it something I did?
r2beta0 can you please upload the nandroid of your system?
I try to get adb in CWM but it didn't recognize it.

My system is messed. I still need to get 2nd-init to work. I'm having a lot of trouble trying to compile my custom version of logwrapper hijack. As I don't have experience in compiling stuff to ARM/Android it is being a pain in the a**. I'd appreciate some help here
Try setting up a QEMU environment with the GB leak kernel's zImage.
Edit: Now we can port CM7!!! Devtree.img is now signed.

And how do I do that?
I tried some ways till this point:
- Installed CodeSourcery G++ Lite toolchain (could compile, but android didn't run)
- Installed NDK and tried some commands I could find on blog posts (no luck)
- Now I just finished setting up an ubuntu 10 VM with all the steps described on developer.android.com. I think I am now able to compile android system, but I don't want to as it will take a LOOONG time.
Do you know how do I build a specific module into android source? For example:
system/core/toolbox
I'm a developer, and have compiled stuff to run on linux/unix many times. But this ARM stuff is way complicated. Writing the code isn't the problem, but compiling is. Lots of flags I haven't seem before, and so on.

I just uncovered this answer by myself.
A 'make toolbox' on root folder seems to work just fine. Now I need a way to define new targets on android build system.
http://and-developers.com/
Has a page just for compiling the kernel from source. (I can't remember the link)
I also got stuck when trying to compile from AOSP... but I think you need to have ALL the files downloaded from source (specially the big prebuilt folder) even if you want to compile a single binary.
Well I'm not sure of anything...
Edit:Now I read what you wrote... so never mind you got it.

Yeps I've made a full repo sync. It took 3 hours and is worth 6GB disk space
Great news! Can't wait to see a true custom ROM working
Just thought I'd share what I've learned: don't mess too much with your build.prop Somehow my modifications were the reason of my backlight not working right and making every app crash that wanted to use a sensor. But it's working again
You can get it from here:
Fastboot + Recoveries.7z
I decided because it get's a little tad difficult to find what you might want or need for Recoveries and Fastboot, (I had a B**** of a time myself )
I'd thought it would be nice to offer my assitance, (because I haven't done a d**n thing to contribute since I bought the Q )
So here's a list of nice things I elegantly made for you (Don't ban me mods :angel: :fingers-crossed: )
*What To Do*
For A Little Assistance:
Linux: go to folder and "Right Click" Click on "Terminal/Konsole"
Type "su" (without quotes)
Then copy/paste any of the following (not anything in parentheses)
fastboot flash recovery open_recovery.img (Open Recovery's Mod) (Skrilax_CZ)
or
fastboot flash recovery cwm.img (Clockwork's Mod) (Shabby Penguin)
or
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img (Team Win Recovery Pro) (arrrghhh)
or
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (Stock Recovery Image) (dunno)
Windows: Go to folder and press "SHIFT and Right Click" run command window (or something close to it)
Then any of the upper ones
Mac: I don't know how to use it, but hey it's here.
Oh yeah thanks to falln Saint, I have my favorite boot logo
It's an android popping it's head out on the Moto with the phone name underneath
fastboot flash logo moto.img
Hope I helped, Have fun :good:

P.S. I only made it easier to find the files, I didn't create them.
Real credit goes to the members on XDA who work their a** off to help us out. :highfive:
P.P.S. I don't come here often, but if there is any problems, I will answer them as fast as i can.
Why not just link to the thread, where you got the recovery? Including them all in one big .7z file doesn't make a lot of sense - if TWRP or OpenRecovery are updated, that .7z file you have is now outdated...
Just a thought - interesting to see the stock recovery tho!
True

Thanks arrrghhh, I just thought to make this simple as possible.
But I do like what is going on with the new roms, I have AOKP because Carbon kept glitching on me and deleting my savedata and setting it under a folder called 0

This isn't a glitch, it's a "feature" with 4.2.2.... Unfortunately the more 4.2.2 ROM's you flash, the more this feature will become apparent.

Yeah I realized that, but Unicorns are for Gangsters.
And I might go back to carbon, if it didn't delete my info even when I reboot normally after flashing. But thanks for your hard work.
Any way I can be a beta tester for any upcoming products?

I had about 7 "0" folders when I browsing my phone's files looking for a cache'd boot logo...it was like one of those russian dolls with a smaller and smaller doll inside and could not figure out what the heck was going on, lol. Ended up deleting all but the first parent and didn't seem to cause any issues....free'd up a good gig or two of internal storage space! Good to know now what the cause of this was as I was experimenting with a lot of different recoveries around the time this happened. Thanks^^
Argh! I came to this thread hoping for a nice, organized place to find all the links/downloads I needed to fix my girlfriends phone.
Now I have to read, AND continue my search for the files. (mild sarcasm)
