Ran supplied .bat file and all is good. Even installed SetCPU and been tinkering with the governors and min/max speed :good: Nexus 7 vs. Kurio? Come on, I hope by now you got that Nexus because this tablet blows :D

Use a SDcard

Skip this step if you haven't figured it out by now :D

I would google how to install win7 drivers in win8 as I don't have win8 (and probably never will) :D Once you figure out how to make the drivers backward-compatible, I would assume you'd be all good!

Can you elaborate on your computer setup (OS, etc...)?

You need to have ADB properly installed (

AND THIS GOES FOR EVERYONE WHO'S HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS ERROR IN THIS THREAD

).

Installed the drivers too (you mentioned everything else but not that)? ADB installed? (and configured properly?)

Not yet...have you had any luck? Working on this POS tablet is on the back-burner for me. I'm sure at some point I'll get busy obtaining perm root (which btw it seems like there's some sort of temp root if SetCPU is able to work as well as TB), and making this Kurio something more than it is :D

See my answer above. Install/configure ADB.

i got a system dump somewhere on my desktop butim kinda with you i've been holding off on doing aything with this tablet my 4 yr old is happy the way it is
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raskall:
Agreed. My 8-year old daugher loves the tablet as it is. This is a tablet for kids so let the kids keep it. :) The christmas update also made it snappy and responsive, it has never had ANY problems running the desired games and she have never complained about anything.

If it works, don't change it.

That is also why I have not tried to root it or do anything with it. If I break it she will never forgive me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rojovilla:
And that's the difference between me and probably most everyone in this thread.... my oldest is 3 and we seldom use this together. I got this tablet free from a buddy who distributes them. I'm just trying to make it worthwhile as I haven't bought a tablet yet and probably won't for a while.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisn91:
Well this morning I decide to get start deodex. I work nights so when I get hone I'll try and finish it up. I need to resreach on getting a custom recovery for it like cwm or something else

Edit 1/9/13: I've manually deodex the ROM ive tried a couple of cwm recoveries but they were a no go. If someone know how to build from source we could probably get this done.

To all of those who have had a problem with the "can't find specified path" as I did, if you PM me I can send you a link that I found. It was set up for a different android tablet but worked perfectly on the 2 tablets that I installed it on. For me it was much easier to do and I had no issues. I followed all of the instructions in the posts on this thread but everytime I tried I would get can't find specified path. I would post the link here but it will not allow me to. Anyway I have the google store now and it seriously took me less then 5 mins to install on 2 of them.

Got the Kurio 7 for my son. I installed google play and a few apps. When turning off and back on it asks for setup all over again. I don't know what happend as it seemed everything worked fine. It now trys to download the update and tells me there is not enough room to uninstall some apps or some crap. You cant uninstall anything. Plus now when going into the playstore to install apps. it tells me there is no room. I didn't install anything else. The apps I did put on it are gone. As it resets everything, each time you turn it off. I tryed factory reset. Its a no go same thing. Does someone have a back up of there system I can use to restore. Or a return to unrooted original of somekind. Help would be greatly appreciated as I dont have much time before his birthday to get this resolved. Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] C1audia:
I'm trying to add some movies on the Kurio.

I have some mp4 movies I converted from our DVDs, but they won't play. It says, "This video can't be played."

To what format should these videos be converted?

Also, after messing with it last night, I now have some small lettering on the top right corner of the tablet. It keeps changing, it's kinda like files; i.e. com.android.system.ui, and lots of other things, and it keeps changing randomly. they're small letters, but still annoying that they're there and taking up precious screen space.

Any idea where it's coming from?

thank you.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chrisn91:
just saw your pm ill pm you

thats weird have a bunch of movies on my daughters kurio and there all mp4 format did you change the stock video player as for the small letters idk what to tell you ive havent not had that happen to me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] C1audia:
No, I used stock player, plus I tried one from the play store.

They were originally converted to be used on an ipad, after transfer to iTunes. But they are MP4. Any issues with that, you think?

I'll have to do a search on those letters.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] distortion:
I ran the files and set my Son's up. The Kurio interface is terrible and laggy IMO. I turned it off. I would rather learn Android and be comfortable with it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] raskall:
There was an update just before christmas that fixed the lag. Have you upgraded? There's instructions for how to do it on kurioworld.com.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rojovilla:
Know you've mentioned that a few times, but it's never been available to me (USA). Must be only across the pond :D

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] C1audia:
Hmmm, it's my nephew's tablet, and I'm the family nerd. I'd have to check when I see him.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] distortion:
I initially configured it a few days before Christmas. It updated itself three times that first time out of the box. I don't believe it has reported an update available since then.

I think I am going to keep him on stock Android. He is already fairly fluent with iOS, would prefer he experienced android. Yes, they are techno spoiled. Would rather have him well rounded technically than just an Apple fan boy. :)

Make sure that you connect your tablet directly to usb port on your computer.

Hi guys :) Can someone help me out with this, I know it's been many times before in the thread but I really can't see what im doing wrong, I've changed the drivers so that it says Android composite ADB (or something to that effect) but when I run the BAT file, I get the error above. Pretty close to tearing my hair out now!

Thanks everyone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Android Pizza:
Hi,

here's the easiest way to install the drivers:

http://pdanet.co/bin/PdaNetA4013.exe

This is actually an installer for a program called PDANet, but ADB drivers are included as part of the install package. Just do what it says, when it asks for your manufacturer click "other", uncheck the "start PDANet automatically" stuff at the end and it should get ADB working fine!

One last thing, if it says you already have the drivers or something like that say yes to reinstalling them.

If this works please give me a "thank"!

Hi ppl... I've just rooted my boys kurio.. And i want to try and build a recovery for it. Before I'm willing to flash a custom recovery tho.. I would like to have a full dump of the ROM / boot / recovery first.

Building a recovery on koush's cwm builder doesn't look too hard. But i need a dump of the stock recovery first.

The usual tools for dumping ROMs don't work because our device doesn't use mtd tables. However i have managed to get the partition layout from using cat /proc/partitions

Here is the layout. None of them are named anything like what I've seen before so i need help to identify them.

major minor #blocks name

7 0 24980 loop0
7 1 19782 loop1
7 2 56165 loop2
7 3 3150 loop3

93 32 524288 nande - /data
93 40 1024 nandf
93 48 32768 nandg - /recovery ?? (Same as allwinner layout?)
93 56 131072 nandh - /cache
93 64 2428928 nandi

254 1 19782 dm-1

254 7 2110 dm-7
7 8 4190 loop8
254 8 4189 dm-8

The sooner i figure this out... The sooner we can have clockworkmod ;)

EDIT: I have now dumped all the nand* partitions... one of which will be the recovery.img. Anyone any ideas how i can identify??

EDIT 2: Been trying to extract the various .img files with not much luck. Using unyaffs and im getting command not found / permission denied errors. Also tried simg2img and that said Bad Magic?!

EDIT 3: Using cat /proc/mounts i have identified /system /data and /cache (updated above)

Looking for some help here :/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] philicibine:
Looking at the allwinner partition layout.. Its looking very similar to this. I am going to try and build cwm with nandg.img tomorrow ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rojovilla:
It does look similar and I realized that a couple months back but didn't have any free time to do anything with it. Keep me (us) posted...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] philicibine:
Just tried building recovery with koush's builder site.. And it doesn't build.

I'm going to upload nandg.img because I'm fairly certain its recovery.

Would be great if anyone else could try and extract / mount it.

Uploading now

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Woah! It just built successfully!

OK so does someone have time to test it??

The attached recovery.img should be clockworkmod and should enable us to do nandroid backups and flash ROMs etc etc

The only way i can think of to try it would be to do the following.. But be careful of typos as they could brick ur device!

adb shell
su
dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/nandg

from adb on your PC or terminal on your device.

If you want to back up your own recovery just

dd if=/dev/block/nandg of=/sdcard/myrecoverybackup.img

This will save a copy of your own recovery to /sdcard which should be possible to dd back in if cwm doesn't work. :)

IVE NOT TESTED THIS MYSELF. NOT GOT TIME! LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES. :)

http://db.tt/QjOQcLiP - recovery.img

---------- Post added at 09:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 AM ----------

Or this app looks like it may do the job

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=acr.recovery.installation.utility
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] philicibine:
I just did both methods above.. And the app didn't flash the recovery... Dd did.. But now in stuck in a boot loop :-/

I think its a complete brick :(

Anyone wanna donate.. And help me sort another one?

Damn

I thought if recovery failed it would just boot the OS .... Obviously not :confused:

Hi i was recently going through all the cases for the galaxy s3 and saw one which was metallic and black and had a small sliver metallic corner. was for around 99 USD and i think was a promotion and was about to be launched for the S3

But now i am unable to find that again

That's the "ElementCase" and it's only for iPhone at the moment. They have put out the teaser images for the GS3 and replied to various tweets and Facebook postings that they should be in production by the "end of the year". I am eagerly awaiting that case myself. :)
