Flash not going as expected

When I get to android system recovery, it is 3e, which appears to make flash from SD card impossible (from googling it) even though that is a listed menu item. The system doesn't see the ROM on the SD card. It is zipped. I also tried unzipped with img file at the root.

Can anyone point me to a good tutorial for flashing ROM from my PC? I've flashed from SD before successfully on other devices, but the recovery mode on Kurio 7 doesn't allow me to. I'm pretty sure it's rooted since it asked me for superuser permissions and I agreed. Plus I'm having those wonky authentication errors (can't connect to internet) that a I see many people struggle with. I want to try the custom ROMS from

but can't flash from SD.

I know there is a method, but it's been years since I used it, can't even remember what its called or if it's still option. "Tunnel" something? Not good with terminals, so a good tutorial would help me sort it out. Thanks for your help. The people on this board have been so amazingly responsive and helpful, even with those who can read. I spent all night poring over it. I apologize if I missed the answer somewhere.

Now I'm thinking it could be a driver issue. I made sure I installed the correct drivers for Kurio, but windows 7 does not recognize it while in recovery mode. Any ideas? Thanks!

Kurio 7s rooted

This is how i got the 7s rooted. Worked like a charm :)

-download Onda_Allwinner_A31_root_v1_0.zip

-copy to SD card

-boot the tablet into recovery mode (Settings > Backup & reset > Recovery mode)

-scroll to "apply update from TF card"

-select Onda_Allwinner_A31_root_v1_0.zip

-reboot tablet

-update SuperSU to newest version (you can do this with the Google Play Store).

Root will remain even if you Factory Reset the tablet. Note that after Factory Reset, the older version of SuperSU is installed and you must update it again.

Thanks to Mord_Savant for posting this.

Update Rooting Stubborn Kurio 7

Okay. Fixed the driver issue that was making it impossible to work through usb connection.

Downloaded USBDView from ---nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html---

I'm on 64bit, so I used that version.

Found some drivers from a previous attempt at rooting were clogging up the works. Uninstalled them and device was instantly recognized. I'm back at it!

Flashing from External SD

Does anyone understand why I am unable to flash a custom ROM from the external SD but the unroot package installs just fine? What can be done to make the custom ROM install that easy? I have run into nothing but trouble. can't get device recognized through adb, can't get custom rom to flash from sd card. Feel totally stuck!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbosari:
Putting into recovery

One more question. Why do instructions tell you to use buttons to enter recovery mode when there is an interface option on Android side of Kurio to reboot in recovery mode? Is there an advantage to doing it the button method? Appreciate your helping me understand.

Hi all...

I have read all through this thread and can't seem to find the answers I seek.

1. Does adding the Play store allow you to also install and use YouTube?

2. Can someone provide a fresh link to the package and the instructions to the process?

I am looking to complete this for the 7 (not 7S) on the newest firmware (137) in US....if that matters or helps.

Please and thank you very much!

I know this is an old thread but I need help with 10s

I need a custom recovery for kurio 10s on 4.2.2 so that I can flash it with new rom as the built in recovery fails to flash it.

If there isnt a custom recovery, is there any windows based flasher I can use, ive tried phoenix flasher, it recognises the device but just reboots it normally when trying to flash it.

The reason I need to flash it is that I had to do a factory reset as it kept freezing and now its lost its play store and all download capabilities. Ive tried manually installing play store using various methods but it wont download as downlods is missing in settings/apps/all. Even google chrome fails to download. Ive had to sideload aptoide for now but a lot of games rely on google dependancies to run.

All help would be apprieciated as ive tried everything I know and even kurio support cannot help.

Thanks in advance

.

Edit. Im already on firmware 120a which is why I cannot use stock recovery to flash as you can only flash newer versions.

Maybe a modded version of .108 would work but I dont know how to mod it to remove security checks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cowen1000:
All sorted, just put the tablet in special recovery mode and use pheonix flasher to flash .120a img (extracted from zip off kurio site) .

Then root using onda method.

All working fine

At My End With KURIO 10s

Okay, so my daughters Kurio 10s gets stuck on the stupid bootloop and me thinking I could fix it myself, because the D-bag technical support at Kurio wouldn't help me without a s/n (only located on a sticker on kids device, YEAH THAT"LL STILL BE THERE!!) or sales receipt, so I tried about 20 different ways and programs (now I have trashware and viruses all over my computer to clean up, but that's a different issue) decided to use the Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a_ROLL-BACK on it (DO NOT REPEAT MY STUPIDITY!) and now I have a nice new paperweight for my desk that says KD INTERACTIVE.

Please can anyone tell me if there might be any hope for me to fix this?

It won’t even make it to the Kurio loading screen or accept and updates, even the ones from their support page.

FYI, to all KURIO users here’s a hidden support page for their tablets.

Hi guys. Is launcher any good on this tablet? I bought Matrix One tablets for my kids, made it run CM10, but I'm in a search for a good kids launcher.

I used this method to root and install google play but I found that some apps had the "your device isn't compatible" message in google play. I tried changing the build.prop but i was very stupid and forgot to back this up.

I tried the root and no go. I am trying to root a Kurio 7 tablet. Not sure if that is what you intended this for (but gathered that out of your comments) Any help is appreciated. The tablet seams like an okay platform for my 7 year old, but Kurio states it is a "family" tablet, but doesn't have access to the Play Store.... Creates a captive audience for "THEIR" app store. They should call it an app mini mart.

Ok.. Obviously a lot of people have gotten this tablet for their kids for christmas. You are in luck. The tablet has been virtually unusable up until now. Before the update that was pushed just before christmas the kurio interface was so slow that the tablet was unusable. It could take several minutes to start the interface and even longer to start and end apps. But to be fair, when the apps where started they ran just fine. But the christmas update fixed this and now the Kurio actually is a good childrens tablet.

Except from the absense of google play. I have posted the script for getting Google Play earlier in the thread but here it is again since people does not read the entire thread before sending me PMs:

I will start with the disclaimer: I do NOT take ANY responsibility for the result of this script. I am just redistributing a file I got from someone else. The script will (probably) break your warranty and may (but not very likeley) break the tablet. If you follow the instructions you should be OK and surfing Google Play when you are done. A lot of people have gotten this to work and I haven't heard of anyone breaking their tablets trying this.

Download the script and files from my web hotel here.

This is a RAR file and can be extracted with the application winrar found here.

When extracted you read the file readme.txt inside. There you will find these instructions which should be sufficient. If you exit the kurio interface and run pure andriod it will be easier to follow. The most important point to get this working is point 2 and 3. Without the right windows drivers for the tablet, it will not work. You have to update driver from the Windows Device Manager.

1- On the tablet, go to Android settings --> Developer options --> Enable USB debugging and activate it.

2- Plug the tablet, it may not find the driver. Go to Control Panel -- > Device manager -->select the uninstalled Android device, right click and select Update driver.

3- Use the driver provided here to install, after installation it shall appear as ADB interface

4- Run the Install_Google_Play.bat file by double clicking it.

5- follow the instructions

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raskall:
I got the file from the scandinavian support team. I do not know if they give it out any more.

I have read the script it runs and it actually roots the device, push google play and necessary files and then unroots the device again. Just pick the right lines from the .bat file and you have root.

I would like to do this myself and play around with it a lot but I simply do not have the time.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rojovilla:
appreciate your prompt reply. i'll see what other comparable devices are out there that run this chipset/gpu to see if a perm root is tangible.

the file from the scandinavian support team you referenced above is the same file you provided in your post?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raskall:
Correct.

To me it seems the root used is for some kind of Sony phone or tablet. The Kurio is running on a Cortex A8 cpu as far as i know.

From the Kurio website:

Chipset: Cortex A8 1.2GHz
