As we all know the Point Of View (POV) Mobii Tegra 10,1' is basically the same hardware as the Advent Vega. However, there is one very important difference when it comes to software - the USB-detection. If you update the POV to the newest FW 1.07.4, it will not be detected under Windows XP. FW-updating is still possible via USB (since the device has its own mode for that) but nothing else. Which means you will not be able to put Paul's awesome custom ROMs on your device! I tried several methods to solve this problem but to no avail.
With the original POV-FW this simply will not work. Thanks to the German Android-Hilfe-Forum (XN04113 pointed it out) and instructions found at Mario's TinyLab I can give you the following advice: - The original POV-FW does not support normal USB-operation. POV themselves said so.
(English text in the box.) - To enable USB-support you have to flash on an Advent Vega FW. (Currently v1.08.) - Immediately after flashing the device Windows XP will recognize it properly. (Other Windows versions I cannot confirm.) - Custom ROMs can now be flashed on the device as described in the appropriate threads. These instructions worked for me without any flaw. Reflashing the device in case of a warranty claim should also be no problem. Hope this will help some of you!:P.

You could use the POV ROM then apply the USB mode switcher from here. ADDENDUM: After flashing the original Point of View FW back on the device and doing some more testing I can confirm the following: - Re-flashing is no problem! So in case of a warrantee issue you can reset the tablet to factory settings.
The USB issue is not related to a flaw/bug of any kind but was obviously done deliberately by POV. (Read the statement in the link of my OP.) - The Advent Vega FW offers the same functionality - but including USB - and seems to be no better or worse than the POV FW in any other respect. Conclusion: For now there is no good reason to keep the Point Of View FW on your device.

What you could probably do is install ADB wireless and just use that to install clockwork mod. With clockwork mod on it is really easy to install custom roms and application along with all the other useful stuff like nandroid backups you can do with it.
Just to quote this, I have run my vega in USB host mode since it was available and never had any problems applying Pauls mods due to use adb wireless. There is a simple (and free) app available in the market that allows all adb communication to be done over wi-fi rather than USB.

Conclusion: For now there is no good reason to keep the Point Of View FW on your device. The switcher probably won't work until you root the device. What I've done a couple of times:. Install POV firmware.
Install VISIONary and apply TEMPROOT twice(!). Install the USB switcher and switch to slave mode. Enable USB debugging and flash the MCR (Add-On) ADB wireless is another great option I've successfully used. Easiest is to install the Advent firmware and go from there.
From MCR r7 (and up) you can use clockworkmod, which works perfectly for me. So, there's actually a lot of options for a POV Mobii user:P. Guys, I have a problem with device detecting over USB. I'm lost in bunch of information, you all saying to flash this, flash that but no one has provided tutorial 'HOW TO' make my device be recognised by my PC. Simply I cant get my device drivers installed correctly.
Now I have in device manager list the 'APX' under 'other devices' and thats all. I tried all methods to get my device recognised but no success.
Please tell me how to fix all that. Is my device in NVflash mode if 'APX' is shown in device manager tree?

Hi mate, seems to me that your device has been recognized by OS the only thing you need to do is to install drivers. But just to clear in step by step: to enter the recovery mode you have to connect your charger to the tablet connect PC with tablet by USB cable.
You need to shut down your tablet before doing procedure. Hold back key and press and hold power button.(tip.hold back key when you press power button) Done correct you will hear the sound that there is a device connected to windows. After that go to device and manager and right click on APX and install driver by using have disk option.(you need to unzip driver). Go to support page and find USB driver there regarding of model you have.Hope I've helped you. Thank you my friend, I've manged to solve my problem. I found USB driver on some other site, cant remember which one, and point that APX to update driver and at first the system notified my that cant find proper driver at this location. After that i was really mad and second time pointed to driver path but this time only on head folder and BINGO, driver found and installed succesfully.
I installed VegaBean ROM from XDA and it works great. I managed to get in NVFLASH mode but its really difficult because of holding buttons for exact time period. Thanks again!
. SOLVED. Hi everyone, I'm completely stuck and need some help please with my girlfriends Advent Vega. Basically, it's been useless out of the box since she had it for Christmas 2011, so I'm trying to get it updated so there's marketplace on there. The other things I find on the internet and this forum regarding my problem are too technical for me to understand. I don't know what boot roms or r8 really mean. I've followed Simonta's excellent blow by blow instructions , and things were actually going ok, but now the tablet is stuck on a screen as per the topic title and there's nothing I can do about it as far as I can tell.
In my attempts to make this work, I've got to the stage where in Device Manager on the PC it has the driver as 'NVidia Android Fastboot Device'. I have nothing else associated with the tablet in Device Manager from what I can see, but I did have something listed as an Android Phone device before this issue happened, but I've since lost that, probably when I ran Audi trying to start from the beginning. Turning the device on as normal has the screen saying 'Starting Flashboot USB download protocol'. I do the recovery thing using the back button 2-second procedure as detailed in the instruction on myadventvega.co.uk and it will still show a 'Starting Flashboot USB download protocol' screen, but I'm not sure what that is actually meant to do. I'm using a stopclock to get the seconds perfect so I know I'm doing it right, just don't know what the outcome is meant to be. I'm used to Apple products where I can plug things in and they work, and upgrading the OS is the press of a button, so what I'm trying to do with this Vega is like trying to perform witchcraft; it's completely alien, so whatever anyone can do to help would be great please!
I don't want to put this in the bin but I'm currently thinking that's where it needs to be. I just wish her mum bought her an iPad that worked and I wouldn't have wasted the day! Thanks everyone. Edited April 3, 2013 by djadam. By an absolute miracle, I got it into recovery mode about 45 minutes ago.
Unfortunately I made the mistake of coming out of recovery mode and tried to go back in. For the last 45 minutes I've tried to get in to recovery mode and been unsuccessful. How the hell am I meant to do this?
I'm bang on 2 seconds each time, I have a stop clock in front of me. I've great reactions but unless I need to be on the nano-second I can't see how I can do anything with this brick. I've tried being slightly out of 2 seconds to no avail. Someone please help before I have to explain to the girlfriend I smashed up this thing, I'm at my wits end:(.
This gem would have been helpful from Advent!!! Unplug the blasted thing and then reconnect it to put it into recovery mode. Worked straight away: Unbelievable. I now have in the PC device manager 'Android Phone: Android ADB Interface' Followed the How To and now the tablet is back to being stuck on the initial problem. Back at the beginning still!
Is this hardware actually capable of having marketplace, and if not, how the hell did it even go on sale? I'm going to use my iPad for a bit to feel better about usability and how things should work. Google should take note. Edited April 1, 2013 by djadam.
