http://www.kurioworld.com/k/us/parents/support/downloads/Kurio10S_OTA_US_108a.zip

This link which I posted earlier is (as of writing) the most current update that was

on the website

. However I used the online update on the tablet which I not believe was not 108a. Because after updating it says C13300A120a, so it must be version 1.20a (??). I'm a little confused because I don't think the website has the newest one.

After updating to latest version here's the About tablet:

no that's great! just like kurio 7s. kurio 7s GOOGLE updates are not available online either -

only true OTA except I have copied them and provided them in an earlier post. there are two for Kurio 7s

as they come in - before installing them they can be copied - they are on SDcard as OTA.zip.

i still would like to know if it was two updates to go from '108a' to '120a with GOOGLE'

I am sending you something via pm right know!!!

How to Root Kurio 10S

I finally rooted the Kurio 10S using Onda_Allwinner_A31_root_v1_0.zip (Google it or download here)

This may work for other Kurios as well, however,

this is untested

.

How to install:

-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.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Feldercarb.Frac:
OTA Updates for Google Play

The two updates are required by Kurio because of how they have staged the updates.

The first updates the system so it can handle the Google Play tools, and installs (some of) them.

The second update is a major update and downloads what I would say is a huge file (many hours to download at my house). After this is installed, you are at 120a and have Google Play.

My big problem is that Kurio has added some restrictions to prohibit you from adding any web browsers into the "child" profiles (like those that my kids use at school) . Regardless of whether you attempt to enable them or not, the Kurio Parental Controls tool unselects them before enabling your child's apps. Our communications with Kurio Support indicate this is an intentional decision by Kurio.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dlfnetxda:
for good reason

that is the whole point!

kurio would not go to google until pressured mostly because of this

kurio 7s did allow addition browser in kurio interface at first - now the have stopped it.

kurio markets themselfs and stands apart from other tabs because of there great 'Kurio Genius™ Kid-Safe Web Filtering'

allowing other browsers would defeat this

if you dont want kurio restricting your childs internet access then just give them regular android user and monitor it with some other child profile app. it would probably run faster.

google update one/two part - question was just to find out if 10s did it in two parts like 7s

Im so glad I found this thread I have picked up 10s for my son's birthday (its far better than any inno tab etc that the missus wanted to get him). Just installing the google services update now but wanted root,
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drefsab:
ok all updated and tried that file to root the 10s and it worked so all I can say is thank you :) thank you very much. The update was great giving me the play store and making it faster root gives me the control I need to make this device good :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] actiondefence:
OK I'm a bit confused.. I've rooted a couple of tablets before (kid's Nabi 2) and an Asus Transformer but I'm no expert and need a simple process that I can read half a dozen times before trying...

So my aim is to get the Play Store running on a Kurio 7s so my girl can have things like the cbeebies play app.

I've been able to side load the cbeebies app on but it doesn't run as it is missing something, binaries or something I think (whatever they are).

I've found this before with some apps I've tried to sideload.

So I thought I'd need to root it and put GAPPS on but now I'm wondering about an update? Over the air or done by PC?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drefsab:
You have the Kurio 7s, so you should not need to do anything special at all just install the OTA update that Kurio have released, this will give you the play store/gapps etc.

No need for side loading etc.

1. Open the Parental Account, click on the All Apps icon, and press the Update app to open it.

2. Press on the Online Update button.

3. Press the Download button.

4. Once downloaded, press the Update Now button and then Update to begin the update.

5. Kurio will automatically reboot after updating.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] actiondefence:
Hmmmmm doesn't do it, no update. Mind you, I'm in the uk if it makes any difference..?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dlfnetxda:
If u r not on US you can still get google on 7s. U could have found answer by reading this thread

Run my Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a_ROLL-BACK.zip in recovery.

This will turn your tabs software into us version. U will then be able to get us updates. There r two 110a and 120a. U will then have google. If u wait till tonight i will post files again. I also made a better root.zip file that is cleaner and has new version of superSU.

ahh there you go, its odd though I have the UK kurio 10s and that got the update strange why the haven't done the uk 7s yet.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dlfnetxda:
Google for 10s just happened. Would imagine that 7s would follow.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drefsab:
Just when I first contacted them about the 10s update they told me that the 7s was already out and just wait the 10s one is in testing, I guess it must just have meant the USA version.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] actiondefence:
It's currently running 4.2.2 so what's the latest please?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] actiondefence:
Thank you. Strange that's is on the latest update (think it always has been) but no Google. Maybe I need to do it back to an earlier software then update it again?

Awesome!

We bought the Kurio 7 last summer, not realizing that there may not be access to Google Play. The Kurio's own store comprises just a couple of hundred apps. 1mobile market is not child friendly and has some buggy apps. My son saw Subway surfers on a friends iPad but the 1mobile installed one did not work. It cut out after the splash screen. Had some more games crash like that. I was thinking about ditching the unit too. There are many newer, faster and cheaper tablets around nowadays.

But this Google Play version works! This saves the tablet completely! Although I still think the screen is not sensitive enough. I often get no response to swipes in games like cut the rope.

Thanks, guys!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jensar:
I'm considering to buy the tablet for my daughter for christmas.

I'm very kurios about the overclocking if its possible for this tablet and how to do that, i've been reading other posts and many are saying the tablet is laggy from time to time. CPU is "only" 1.2Ghz, but does the it have RAM of 512MB or 1GB? Some say that it has 512 and some say it has 1gb, kurio homepage says it has 1gb so i think i'll go with that one.

And another question for you users is that how well does it play HD movies? 720p and 1080p. It has an HDMI output and i was thinking it could be connected with my tv for movie playback but this idea goes for the trashcan if it's not playing HD movies with out any lag.

Can the device be rooted so i can view stuff from my USB sticks with a suitable USB cable attached?

The tablet is costing 200 euros here in finland, buuut i've been also thinkin getting the Nexus 7 wich is 270 euros. What do you guys think? i think that Nexus is a better deal to go with, but my wife wants to go with kurio... :eek:

I would definitely choose any other tablet from any of the well known brands over the kurio.

Hello all,

after root my kurio 10s, i test some soft to install apps on extern sd card but no way to have one works.

I create 2 partitions on the sd card ( fat32 and ext2 or ext4 ), but it's very difficult to have this card reconize by the kurio.

The kurio said that sd is corrupted !!

With lot of test, i have app2sd that saw the ext2 partition but no way to move apps, first message say that the ext is emulated and if i want create a link i've an error to. Don't find the way...

So is there a solution to move apps ? Maybe a new kernel or custom rom but i think there is no kernel or rom for this kurio...

do you have assert checks disabled in CWM.

TRY --> Kurio7_US_1.1.137_OTA-NO-ASSERTS.zip

all asserts have been removed.

If that wont work i will write update script or adb script that will flash stock Kurio 7 recovery directly to nandg recovery partition.

why dont you want to keep CWM.

Are you having problems with it.

can you post CWM file and how you flashed it.

Most CWM install/flash scripts make a backup of stock recovery and include script to flash back stock recovery.

Kurio Updates

If you ended up in UK section of kurioworld.com and the update available was UK141 then you do have a UK version.

As far as i can tell the only difference is the serial number provided.

Wierd?!!!

You can use US updates

there is really no differance between US137 and UK141 updates.

stock UK141 has no asserts!!!

some entries in build.prop are different and there are some different bianaries.

But really they are the same .

Your serial number will always send you to UK section of kurioworld.com and any future updates that kurio will have (not likely) will be UK.

kurio has no plans for any updates to regular kurio series.

If you use US updates your kurio software will be US and any true (over the air) OTA updates or update alerts from kurio - will come for US and will be US updates. (again kurio has no plans for future updates) moving on to kurio S series)

I have added ROOT-GOOGLE to UK141 and it is available HERE

remember you can login if google flags viruses

user- johnkurio@gmail.com

pass - kuriokurio

You can install either version. I guess i would install US137 - as it seems like kurio puts more effort into US updates.

I believe this because they have rolled out GOOGLE updates for US versions of the S series first.

good luck
