As suggested from @Gouwa please make photo from VIM device.
my VIM enters in upgrade mode when i do following.
start Burning Tool as Administrator
connect HDMI cable to VIM and TV/Monitor
connect usb-c to VIM, and other part to Notebook.
wait until VIM boots and you see Android desktop on your TV/Monitor
press and hold power button (far right button,when having VIM in front of you and HDMI output is on left side), you should see on TV/Monitor reboot/power off menu pop up.
press reboot button (the one on far left) and release after 1 sec.
wait until you see VIM written on your TV/Monitor and count to 5 and release power button, there should be Windows Tone (like connecting usb). And also device manager should show you âWorldCup Devicesâ under âlibusb-win32 USB Devicesâ, and Burning Tool should see your device to.
You dont need recovery, but the upgrade mode.
I personally donât know how to enter into recovery.
Holding power button on VIM and pressing reboot will reboot VIM,when you see VIM written on TV, hold power button for 5 seconds more and release it. ViM will be still written on TV but device will be found on PC.
Not sure I understand you. I though Recovery and Upgrade is the same mode and always have. Does your screen look different to mine then? Doesnât matter what steps I use I always end up on that screen. Did what you said above and still I am in recovery.
I also see âVIMâ for a second (more like a split second) and then it enters Recovery mode. I have loaded firmware to Sony Xperia devices before and they always boot into this mode.
I have same revision. I have VIM Pro (2GB/16GB). but i dont see here recovery menu, which is weird. But when i see VIM on Monitor i count to 5 and release power button and my notebook beeps once (as inserting any USB device). On Monitor nothing more then that âVIMâ.
I really donât know then. I am also just an âuserâ got my VIM Pro for one week!
Do you have anything in mSD slot? Also do you have Pro version? and did you tried to flash multiboot rom on it? As my VIM Pro was pre installed with android, and i just upgraded android, i did not flash any multiboot rom.
Nope I do not have a SD inserted, I have the VIM 2/8gb so not pro and No multiboot this is the first attempt to just load new ROM (New Android) So same as you
Unfortunately I do not have a serial cable otherwise I would have tried that. Right now it doesnât even do anything anymore. I can boot into Android yet as soon as I follow the steps. Hold Power + Press Reset and release and wait 3-5 seconds and release power I get a black screen on my monitor. No more Recovery Mode and no more âVIMâ written on the screen.
Is the USB-C suppose to work upside down as well meaning Khadas is pointing to the bottom? When turning upside down the black screen occurs and if Khadas is facing upwards then it enters Recovery
Can you try again with new methods belows: 1) Try to Erase the EMMC first, if the emmc is blank, VIM will boot into upgrade mode automatically when the USB-C cable is connected 2) Try with a new USB-C cable if you have one which is used by mobile phone 3) Try to use uSD card to upgrade for your VIM.
We will follow up this until you got the problem resolved!
Hi @Gouwa thanks for the reply. If I do wipe EMMC and I still cannot connect to VIM would I be able to still update from uSD card? I donât want to brick my device
I managed to connect to VIM through ADB yet when running the command adb reboot-bootloader it still doesnât enter âUpdate Modeâ. I am not sure erasing the EMMC will solve my issue
Doesnât seem like it is I always though it is the same thing. If we were able go down on the list in the Recovery mode I could access the device through ADB
