Ok. The recovery image being the boot.img in the Kurio zip. Sorry I just want to make sure, even if I sound dumb.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Android Pizza:
No, it is NOT boot.img. It's recovery.img

There is not a recovery.img in any of the zips I have found in the Kurio updates....the only thing in the recovery folders are "recovery-from-boot.p" and a folder called "etc" with "install-recovery.sh"

Ok i kinda fixed it. Actually...I'm kinda proud of myself. I edited the updater-script like someone said to do on a blog somewhere to get rid of of the status 7 error. and before I rezipped the rom I deleted the whole recovery folder like someone said to do on another form...then I flashed the kurio rom with CWM and bingo. It is working again. It tried to go into the kurio interface but went straight to android. All my storage is back and I even got rid of some useless games myself or my child will never play. Now I just need google play again and everything will be great. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it,

Now I just need to decide if I really want all the Kurio Interface stuff on it again. My oldest kid is 2 and all he wants to do is play fruit ninja and watch thomas the train videos on youtube.....all I want to do is dig around in it and figure it out...that being the reason why I messed it up int he first place. lol

Wifi kicking router off

Hi Guys,

Ok, I've read all 30 pages, and I've only seen one post about any kind of wifi issue. I have an as yet, unrooted Kurio 7 running the 4.0.3 ICS US 1.1.134 What happens is, when I try to connect this thing to the wifi, wether it be the router in my house, or the portable hotspot on my Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G, it kicks them off, meaning the host device, not the kurio, the router actually stop broadcasting until I shut down the kurio wifi, or kicks the hotspot off! I have no other wifi devices in the house that create this issue but the pos Kurio. Would rooting it and installing the 1.1.137 update fix this issue? Also have another issue if anyone could help out, in order to get the downloads off of Kurio's website, or to even be able to email or live chat, I need a device serial number, and for some strange gd reason, mine doesn't have the serial number tag on the back of the unit! WTF? Would anyone be willing to loan me there serial number strictly for this purpose? You could pm me with it or email it to me, that way it's not out in public.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Android Pizza:
Installing the update might fix it...but there's no need to root. It's an official update.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nightwolf769:
Thanks for the reply Android Pizza, but there in itself lies a problem b/c it won't connect properly to any wifi to see if there is an ota update, so I figured I would just install the 1.1.137 file that I found previously in the thread. Hopefully that'll cure the wifi issue. Plus I'll be able to tweak the cpu speed a bit, may even install google play

SD boot

Recently bought a hard bricked kurio 7 to play around with. I was hoping to get it unbricked but there doesn seem to be much hope for that after reading these 30 pages and everything I can find on the internet, and then trying to get the tablet into recovery/download/boot mode/ anything mode that I could reflash from linux.

I ordered a used motherboard just incase.

I did a google search for allwinner a10 manual after being inspired by some kindle fire and nook random boot options like usb boot and sd boot.

Turns out the a10 chip in the kurio checks both before booting from the boot-file nand flash. page 33. This would make sense given that I remember someone mentioning that thier tablet wouldn boot until the SD card was removed.

Potentially, I think this could mean A way to unbrick the hard bricks/damaged bootloaders. It mentions that thier is a jumper pin similiar to what Iǘe read about the kindle fire that puts the device into usb boot mode. Where me might be able to re-flash from this state.

What I am more interested is getting an image of someoneś working Kurio using dd in linux. Then imaging and sd card and seeing if it will boot from the sd card. If it boots great- doesn fix anything, but perhaps we could use the boot file and recovery image and find a way to boot it into recovery or into cwm like was done on the nook and reflash stock rom from there for a full unbrick.

Let me know what you guys think and perhaps if someone is savy wnough to pull the image off of a working kurio or multiple images from the different partitions I wouldn mind testing it out here on my brick.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] travelin:
Maylonious...Try this..First charge your bricked kurio for acouple of hours...then on your computer, open the device manager and open the universal serial buss controllers tab. Note the list of usb devices attacted to your computer...Now plug your kurio into the computer. Does the computer make a (todo) sound and the list of attached usb devices expand. Maybe one usb device has a yellow tag and say something like USB device (VID_1f3a_PID_efe8). If it does You are in luck..Your bricked device is saveABLE....Just gonna take some doin to get it straight. Let me know...... I have searched long and hard for a img file for the kurio 7 but i believe that it does not exist...with that said, i have had a bricked kurio and using livesuit and a img file for a govlever a73 got the thing working like a charm on ics 4.0.3....by the way what OS is your computer?

out of storage

I am out of storage like someone else back in this thread, on 4.2.2 . did factory reset. still out of storage. i think i have root, but cant install anything. Seems to have adb access as the allwinner script seems to be active ,though it doesnt pushh files..

tried to flash an ota file but it stopped due to it being older than what i have.

i am stuck, i just downloaded adb but dont iknow what to do yet.

also everytime it reboots it acts like a fresh install

anybody have any idea how i can fix this?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alkanaft:
You may need to fix busybox installation. Update or incorrect install of busybox may cause such storage problem.

1. On Windows open ADB shell:

c:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb shell

2. Get root rights:

su

3. Fix link to busybox:

ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin/busybox

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Jeroen1024:
Hi !

I've tried installing Google Play on 7s (after getting root), but when Play starts it ends immediately.

No luck so far; I think some services on which Play depends are not correct version of correctly installed.

E.g. LoginService and ServicesFramework.

Next few days I'll try again on the 7s after restoring factory defaults (Android); I'm thinking about using parts of Gapps.

If I succeed, I'll let you know !

BG,

Hi mate, any luck with this? Just got one for my youngest. The 7s is a good bit of kit, and I think it compares well to the Nabi 2 which my eldest has.

I've rooted the Nabi 2 so it has the Google Play store on and Gapps etc so my little girl is gagging to have the same as her brother's...

Have any of you with the 7s tried calling Kurio to get Google Play? That's how we got it last time. Just a thought :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ufo8mymunky:
THIS WILL ONLY WORK ON THE KURIO 7!!!

I have two roms for the kurio that you can download from my dropbox....

First of all both Roms are deodexed and rooted with the Google Play Store. You can only install via CWM. If you don't have CWM or are not rooted, these Roms will not work for you. I have got rid of most of the games except for Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja, Where's my Water, Boys Colour, and Toon Goggles. Also, I am not responsible if you mess up your device.

Flash like you would any other Rom...Back up/flash/clean cashe/wipe data/reboot

The first Rom still has all of the Kurio stuff on it, but the Kurio Interface does not work. It just says the app only works on Kurio...

This is the link --->https://www.dropbox.com/s/nesnt8i5f0u0mht/ufo8mymunky_withkurio.zip

The second one doesn't have the Kurio Interface/Store on it. Actually, even with the few games I left on it it seems to run a lot smoother.

And you can get that here ---->https://www.dropbox.com/s/28jwsmaicojvps4/ufo8mymunky_withoutkurio.zip

I am trying to find a fix for the Kurio Interface not working after root/CWM. There are other alternatives on the Play Store until I/someone else can find a fix for it.

Now you can theme your Kurio or turn it into a regular tablet if you choose to do so.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------

That Rom I sent you in email will only flash via CWM....Sorry I forgot you were on stock recovery. You need to find the link for CWM and install it on your device and then you can flash either the rom I sent you via email or one of the two I just posted in this thread.

You are having the exact problem I did previously. Just find the link for CWM for a10 allwinner and follow the instructions. Then you can flash a rom and it will work again. If you want even after you flash one of the roms you can go back to stock rom and recovery by flashing the latest update from the Kurio site...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] antidarling:
I just cannot get CWM to work on my Kurio... ran "cat /proc/cpuinfo" and "cat /proc/partitions", got the a10/9part zip. put it in my sdcard, but in recovery it cannot mount sdcard...

Never mind...wrong directory in Terminal Emulator.

Kurio 7 - Android version?

What's the latest OS you guys have working?

Is there anything above 4.0.3 working on the original 7 devices? We're about to waterfall the eldests Kurio down to the youngest but finding a lot of the games she'd want off google will not install (guessing it's due to OS version).

Are there any newer custom roms that work ok? Not necessarily fussed with keeping the Kurio interface.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ufo8mymunky:
There are no roms for this device. Not very popular. I put together 2 roms but one is not really functional when it comes to the Kurio Interface. The other rom has none of the Kurio apps at all and it way more functional that way. I installed an app from the play store called "Kidoz" and in my opinion I think it is better then the kurio interface. My kid plays on it every day for hours and I haven't had any problems with it being slow/laggy/buggy. I got rid of most of the games on it and it is rooted with the play store also.

Here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/s/28jwsmaicojvps4/ufo8mymunky_withoutkurio.zip I have been using this rom for a month now and have had absolutely no problems at all.

kurio 7s running 4.2

Hi, totally blind guy hear, so please forgive me as my screen reader doesn't read these forums very well, but I'm giving it my best.

I have the kurio 7s and found by searching for the utoo-root-signed.zip that is claiming to root the device. I would also like to install the play store, does anyone know of a solution, since I know that the play store also relies on google play services!

And the last question I'd like to also load the apks off of the kurio on to my grand sons phone, as I bought him the kurio, and want his phone to have the same games. Any help please.

Kurio Touch 4s Google Play Store?

Hi all, have any of you rooted the Kurio Touch 4s and installed Play Store? There is no "enable USB debugging" option on the handheld, the script for the 7s didn't work, and although just downloading and installing the .apk for Play Store seemed to work, the app won't load. I'm stuck, can anyone help?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Android Pizza:
There is a USB Debugging option. But it is hidden. Go to "about tablet" (which might be called "about device") and repeatedly tap "build number" until you get a message that says "You are now a developer". "Developed Options" should now be visible in settings. In there, you will find USB debugging.

Bricked

Hi there,

Here is my problem. I worked on my Kurio 7 tablet and I guess I did something wrong installing CWM and now it's bricked. The tablet is stucked on the boot logo and there is no way to get the recovery mode (vol+ and power doesn't work). :crying:

Here is the good news, I took a look at this kind of problem with other allwinner A10 and I found out that we can use livesuite to flash the firmware even when it's bricked. So I can now connect the tablet to my computer, it's recognized and livesuite detect it as well. I thought I should take the official stock rom that is on the thread. However livesuite doesn't agree, according to livesuite the image file (I took boot.img) is not valid.

I am a noob in android and I think I've reach my limit, I don't know what to do anymore.

I have another kurio 7 (which is 'still' working) so maybe it is possible to get a dumhp from this one and install it one the bricked one. However I have no idea how to do that.

I would be greatfull if someone could help me on this because I am loosing my mind :eek:

(sorry for my english I am not from a english speaking country so I'm doing my best to be as clear as possible)

Kurio 4s touch

So I bought both my daughters one of these each for christmas, overall im very impressed with them. Im hoping however that someone can help me with one niggling issue. I need the play store on them both kids have become used to playing games on my partners android phone, I was looking to install the games on these tablets as well.

Iv come across the batch file that roots the tablet installs the play store then un roots it, unfortunately it would appear that whatever root exploit its using is patched in the version of android that these 4s devices came with (4.2.2)

Anyone aware of an alternative way to install the play store on these devices?

Naively I enabled allow installation from unknown sources and grabbed the playstore apk file. It installed fine but keeps crashing on boot, I assume due to requiring root privileges to install certain parts of the package.

Anyway if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated :)

I think you must install GApps zip

it can be installed by special recovry mod (cwm) and this must be installed if you have root

You can have root by framaroot or srsroot or vroot all these methods not dangerous

I'm in the same situation..

My eldest has the Nabi 2 (which I think is just about the best childs tablet out there, by a long shot) an dmy youngest has the Kurio 7S.

I've rooted and put GAPPS on the Nabi 2 with help from XDA (you guys give me a "techrection" ;) ) and have Netflix and a few others on the Kurio 7S, some have been sideloaded and some from the 1 Market.

Anyway... The "spoilt" kids got the new Furbies for xmas.. and the Nabi runs the Furby App perfectly (I so wish these toysa nd gadgets were around when I was a kid! Mind you, indestructible Tonka Toys were pretty cool!) but the Kurio 7S doesn't load it properly as it can't find the resources for it which I believes translates to it can't find the Google resources for it so I deduce from that, that it needs GAPPS installed.

So after this boring post (because it was constantly interrupted by the kids) what I'm asking is, has someone rooted the KURIO 7S and has anyone loaded GAPPS onto the KURIO 7S?

Thanks in advance guys!

root kurio 4s installed google play store

I used utoo root in a zip file. Boot into recovery and installed from SD card or tf card. Google play is easy to. After rooting install lucky patcher. Use the nodded play store and your done. Also sometimes tablet will stay on boot screen and you may think you just bricked it. Your wrong . Go to kurio website download the ota zip file and boot into recovery and flash like normal and all is well.

So get ota zip file

Utoo root zip

Lucky patcher apk

Install modded play store from LP

And done

I've even used jrummy boot anmations to change boot animation. Once rebooted thought it did a factory reset but flashed the nota zip and everything I thought I lost came back.

Ota zip is your savior

And I'm a noob what's your problem developers I did this in less than 4 hours with google search. And no one knows sh!t about the 4s

kurio 7s boot loop

Had kurio 7. rooted it and had dpi hacked google play but wifi was defective. finally proved that to kurio. received rma and they sent back s series-kurio 7s. in comparison the s series is awesome.

installed new google ota, which is greeat.

used utoo root.zip, which worked great

had pro version of super su

had pro version of titanium

then i go fancy and for no reason at all installed busybox installer apk, and ran install.

not positive what the cause is but now kurio 7s is stuck in boot loop.

wipe data/factory reset -- no change

wipe cache -- no change

cant use "Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a.zip" because i have google ota update firmware version installed on tablet.

kurio will not allow update with older version and i dont have/cant find nor get to current update version

Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a.zip is the only update available on kurio website.

google ota update is not available on kurio site. i downloaded it throught update option while booted up.

live chat sucked as usual.

only had me wipe cache and wipe data/factory reset which did nothing

they want me to return it again. They MAY pay for shipping this time.

not sure exact cause of boot loop, but the fact that everything was fine and the only thing i can think of that was change prior to boot loop issue, was that in ran installer in busybox installer.apk and unmounted exsdcard.

i have read this and other threads maybe 50 times over last year.

some research has lead me to believe that busybox might be problem. permissions-wrong diretory ??????

any help to fix

bootloop issue

busybox

or help in rolling back firmware

or help locating kurio 7s google ota or any update that will run

i can get into recorvery fine.

please help

by the way i found moto chopper to be the best way to root kurio 7 after .137
