I tried Z4Root 1.3.1 (the one listed in this forum) for the 7005 and it worked. The older versions of Z4Root do not work. Once you run the program, it shuts down the tablet - when you re-boot it is rooted and ready to go.
[General Questions and Answers] phygman:
zaep0b,

Great find. This does work when installed with ClockworkMod. It also installs other apps like Facebook, and Amazon MP3, Google maps, and others.

It doesn't unlock the full google market though. When I compare market searches between my kyros and my captivate. There are differences with things missing on the kyros.

Still a great find though,

[General Questions and Answers] razor950:
The issue then could be the market id which might not be correct.

I'll look into it and post information on the other thread.

I wanna make the other thread, a how-to thread and keep this one for discussions.

Sorry, been out for a while. Does someone still need a backup of my stock 7015? I'll post it if anyone needs it, but it may be around 2300 EST before I can do that.

[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
Wow! Would you mind explaining what you did? What does 'flash through clockwork recovery' mean and how is it done?

Exciting news. Congrats
[General Questions and Answers] razor950:
search for gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip and once you have that zip, put it on your sdcard, then go into clockwork recovery (given that you flash that first :P )

once your in there, you can find install zip from sdcard and choose that gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip and flash it, then reboot and it'll work.

There might be a market id issue which is why some apps don't show up, so if some of you want to wait I'll have a nandroid dump of a stock rooted dump with gapps working sometime soon.

I don't have a tablet myself so thats why I say sometime soon :P

For an update, I was able to return the tablet and get a new one, so my problem has been resolved. Thanks again to everyone who has helped me with this problem.
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
I was testing a new update.zip and managed to overwrite everything including my recovery. I have tried to flash_image from adb, but it is telling my that my file is not located on my sdcard (or maybe it just cant see the sd card). Is there a place I can push the file to in the internal storage, or can anyone offer any other ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] phygman:
Reset the pad holding down the menu key. This will bring the phone up in fastboot mode.

Under windows make sure the device is seen as a fastboot interface device.

using fastboot.exe in the android SDK do the command :

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I used the recovery image havic uploaded the other day.

This worked for me when I was dead in the water.

Phygman
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
Thnaks Phygman, I will try it when I get home from work. Where do I need the recovery file to be located when using this attempt?

Just wondering? Will this device ever have custom roms for it? Is it true the makers of the processor do not release code for it? Should I just spend the 400 and get a g-pad?
[General Questions and Answers] tantrum829:
I think some progress is being made and eventually a custom rom will be possible with time. The mods and hacks we have seen so far on this forum have made this device a lot better than the way it was out of the box. So far things such as rooting, flash player, alternative markets and even giving a new look and and feel with launcher pro gives me no regrets. Eventually more people who have bought it and are planning to buy it will show up on these forums and hopefully more with developer skills will show up.

Thanks to all who are giving their time and efforts to make this tablet better.

Everything you need to know to get a custom ROM on your 7005, including getting clockwork to work for it. I asked a question in the forum about the 7005 being the same as the X5A and the response was yes. I believe that some of the stuff they have done there will work with the 7015, but I am not sure.

[General Questions and Answers] havic:
I seen the post about the X5A as a warning these do not work on the 7015

I tried to flash to a froyo custom rom for this and it failed badly LOL

I also tried to flash to the M701 Which I have read is the same as the 7015 it failed also.

I remember reading that telechip does not share the code for there tablets .

Here is a website that has the kernel and everything. Just need some of the genius Devs to see what they can do.I would be more than happy to beta test on my tablet :)

I've spent today searching for resources for froyo on the 7015. The m701 port seems close to ours. Its failing on the USB init.

Not sure that others would use this but I would love to be able to use

my wireless tethering from my phone with this tablet. I have been able to get the tablet to see the tethering but I am unable to get it to connect. Has anyone ever worked with this?
[General Questions and Answers] phygman:
I have been able to get this to work using my rooted/modded Samsung Captivate. Enable the wireless tether option on your phone, I set mine as an open access point. The 7015 found it in a wifi scan and was able to connect. I haven't tried it using WEP with my phone as an access point.

[General Questions and Answers] havic:
Did you have to change anything? If I alter the file

wpa_supplicant.conf but then it shows it but will not connect at

[General Questions and Answers] s2h2golf:
What phone are you using and what program are you using on your phone? I also have a rooted/modded Captivate and I have been able to connect every tablet I have used (Maylong, Cruz Reader, Sylvania, Kyros 7005) with it. The ROM I am using includes a native wireless tethering app that supports WEP and WPA without having to make any changes to the device you are connecting it to. If you are using Wireless Tether or Barnacle to connect, it may not work because the MDT has to be manually set on the device, which is typically only available to hack into on a PC.

That's my vague memory of what was happening with me before when I was just using the Captivate stock and rooted.
[General Questions and Answers] havic:
I have a HTC Hero. That is rooted and has a custom rom on it

using the HTC wireless tether. I have also tried it with the barnicle and it

does the samething. It's something with it being a Adhoc network.

I seen you have the 7005 mines the 7015 so I wonder if that is the difference at all.

How long does your battery last I'm only getting 4 hours
[General Questions and Answers] havic:
I am thinking about 4 hrs is right. I haven't played with it for a long stretch of time. Depends on what your doing on it too. This is where a custom ROM

would be nice could remove all phone functions and stuff that seem to run on it.

Response I got when asking about 2.2, etc. Looks like they may be considering feature requests. So I suggest people e-mail them with any specific questions. I think the more user responses they get, the more likely they'll be to continue updating this thing. I think the e-mail address in the manual is techsupport@cobyusa.com

[General Questions and Answers] s2h2golf:
Since it appears that the 7015 is more readily available at this time, I am considering taking the 7005 back and getting the 7015 (I have major battery issues with it anyway). Can anyone answer these questions for me?

1. How smooth is the touchscreen? For a resistive, the 7005 is the smoothest I have used.

2. Is the touchscreen glass?

3. Is the construction of the 7015 all plastic, or plastic and metal? The 7005 has a heavy duty metal frame that seems like it could take a good dropping.

4. Does it come with a pleather case attached to it?

5. How is the screen resolution? The 7005 has the fonts blown up mega-size and I cannot adjust the resolution (too much on the processor from what I read). I tried doing it through Spare Parts and it kept reverting back to the original font size.

Thanks for any info you can throw out there - the specs on the Coby website didn't help me out too much with the difference between the two, other than form factor.

[General Questions and Answers] a008yc:
Why return the 7005? It officially support 7005 while 7015 does not, hopefully 7015 has hardware support of multi-touch and someone find a way to enable it.
[General Questions and Answers] s2h2golf:
I have major battery issues with it (goes from 90% to 10% in about an hour - known issue with these tablets) and if I am going to return it anyway, I want to get something similar that is going to continue to be supported. The 7015 is more available (the only 7005 I could find was at Toys R Us) and I suspect there will be more development in the future for the 7015. The 2.2 ROM at slatedroid.com for the X5A/7005 doesn't support video and that is mainly what I want it for.

I'm just trying to think ahead for development of ROMs. If the 7015 doesn't have everything I am looking for, I will return the 7005 for a different one that hopefully doesn't have the battery problem.
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
This is what I hrasve been working at have yet to see any success.
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
And these are the steps I have followed most recently:

"Adding your ad-hoc SSID in Settings->Wireless & Network, then do the following modification in data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf:

1)Add

ap_scan=2

at the beginning.

2)Locate the "network" section corresponded to your ad-hoc network, add "mode=1" in that section.

3)If the previous two steps don't solve the problem, try adjust the priority of the ad-hoc network to the highest: make sure "priority=1" in its network section, and modify other sections' priorities sequentially."

After that, I followed these instructions to solve a permissions issue:

"The solution was to simply change ownership back to system:wifi

$ adb root
$ adb -d shell
# cd /data/misc/wifi
# chown system.wifi wpa_supplicant.conf
# reboot

"

After that, I still seem no better off connecting the tablet to my phone's ad-hoc network. (Working towards fixing the tablet instead of the phone as that would benefit everyone, not just me).

I have been doing research on rium card for my htc tilt to see if i could possibly put it on my families verizon plan. Unfortunately, American companies have too much of a need for power to implement such a beautiful device in their phones. Not only could i not got to my service providers website and buy one, but when i searched for them i got very little real information on how they can be used.

1. can they be used on verizon? (not does verizon use them, but could i somehow manage it.)

2. is their anywhere i can buy one without paying 200 dollars for it or buying 1000 of them?

[Fascinate General] Robedom:
Okay, I rooted once, but when I went to flash something in recover or simply back up my rom it said, it that the signature verification failed. So I unrooted and began to reroot my device, however, now it will not root.

The first time I rooted I used the z4mod one-click method. I tried that again but the loading icon just spins endlessly.

Now I tried manually with the rage method, however, it says in the tutorial to wait until it says "Children forked" but that message never appears, and I can still push su and busybox to the phone but to no avail.

Any insight as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
[Fascinate General] soba49:
When I rooted, I did so with the rage method. However, my first attempt just hung forever. So, I control-C'd, entered back into shell, and tried again. It worked the second time. Note you don't need to repeat the other steps, just the rage.bin

PS> I am getting that same signature issue when I try to run a recovery zip, however my phone is still rooted in adb shell.
[Fascinate General] Robedom:
I tried to do it again, and I realized the command adb shell doesn't work anymore. It just hangs forever and doesn't every add the "$" at the beginning of the line.

So, kinda a long story, sorry. So to start off I obviously have a nexus one, I was running CM6.1 RC1 with some themes and blah blah. But the other day I decided to try out Rodriguez's MIUI rom, so I dl that, put it on my phone, booted into recovery made a nandroid backup of the CM6.1 I was running, and then wiped and installed the MIUI. I booted up and everything was running fine and when I remembered I forgot to backup my apps and data I figured I would just make a backup of the MIUI, wipe, restore the CM, backup what I needed and go back to the MIUI. But when I went to make a backup of the MIUI I got this message "error: run nandroid-mobile.sh recovery via adb." So when I got that message I just decided to forget the MIUI and just recover the CM. But when I tried doing that, I got the same message. Luckily I still had the MIUI.zip in my phone so I just re-installed that for my current rom while I try to figure this out. I researched a little online and thought it might have been that my battery was too low, so I charged it and no luck. Then I thought my sd card was too full so I cleaned it up and tried again, this time the backup of the MIUI worked, but when I wiped and tried to restore my original CM, I got the same message. So FINALLY, I thought that I would just re-install CM6.1 and take the MIUI off my phone completely and then try. But yet again, same message. So Im pretty stumped and would be very grateful for some help. Sorry for the novel, but I figured I would write all my steps so I didnt have to answer as many questions in future replies.
