kurio 7s boot loop

wondering if you found any solution and/or cause to your kurio 7s bootloop.

this is my situation.

Had kurio 7. rooted it and had dpi hacked google play but wifi was defective. finally prooved that to kurio. recieved rma and they sent back s series-kurio 7s. in comparision s series is awsome.

new google ota 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 possitive 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.

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 issure, 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 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

Problem solved. I now believed MY boot loop issue with Kurio 7S, was the result of installing/running some stupid EXSD mount app. Because Titanium WILL NOT let backups be written to ext-sd card on this device. Titanium says “folder not writable”. Well I don’t need Titanium that bad.

Kurio is rooted and works great… Google Apps. Netflix the whole bit.

I have solved boot loop issure with Kurio 7S, and the fact that the only update that kurio will release online will not run if tablet is already updated with Google apps. I have altered ‘Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a.zip’ and removed version/date check, as well as model check (because Kurio’s otas after 106a change model from C13000 to C13000A.

Altered ‘Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a.zip’ is resigned, and will run even if you have a newer version.

Thanks to Daneshm90 for Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator script which is the only way I could get modified update,zip repacked and signed so that kurio would run it. Tried so many things and a simple script from 2010 is what worked.

Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator is available here: --> Update.zip 2.0 Modifier/Creator

So put modified kurio update ‘Kurio7S_OTA_US_106a_ROLL-BACK.zip’ on ext-sd card and run it from the recovery console. You will then be able to boot and install updates from kurio via true Over the Air. Or install them from recovery console, (available below). Most likely all pre-installed Apps will be missing. You can retrive them from Kurio at http://www.kurioworld.com/k/us/parents/support/afterfactoryreset

There are two updates after 106a and they go together to install Google. They are not available online, so I after updates downloaded I stopped update process and copied OTA.zip files as they were both called. They are not modified, but I have renamed them with the build number found in settings after each update.

It may be possible to just run unmodified Kurio7S_OTA_US_110a.zip to recover tablet that already has Google update installed.
