I got flash working. After you root the device look for flash 10.1 for Android 2.1 (flash_for_21) and install. I don't have the apk on hand to attach but just Google it and you'll find it. I think I actually found it in our forum but can't remember the link. Then when you click on a flash video you will see a popup and choose "sysdev" so far all flash sites are working for me.
[General Questions and Answers] jmfrost:
You have to root it first? Is that because you have to edit the config file? That's had to be done on the gtablet, but it was 2.2. Glad you mentioned the version. I was about to try my apk, but realized after your message that I had the 2.2 verison and forgot this device was 2.1. Speaking of which...I contacted support today, via e-mail, to ask about the future development for this device with updates, flash, 2.x upgrade, etc. Still waiting for a response.
[General Questions and Answers] tantrum829:
Yes I had to root it. The apk wouldn't install until I rooted it and installed superusers.

Hopefully we will get 2.2 (unofficially) from the devs here. I found the apk for 2.1 flash on my SD card and I tried to attach it but I'm getting a message from the boards indicating that my upload aren't permitted from my computer probably since im trying to do it from the tablet. I don't have access to my pc right now but it shouldn't be to hard to find 2.1 Eclair flash apk if you Google it.

Just wondering if you know how to backup the system.img,Boot.img and recovery.img on here without a clockwork mod. The clockwork mod is being worked on. But I am looking for the original files modded a little is fine.
[General Questions and Answers] tantrum829:
Would like to help but I'm not a dev and my knowledge in this area is limited. I'd be willing to help but you would have to give me detailed instructions and I could try later tonight when I get home.

I'm kind of new to Android and tablets.
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
What sites are you trying it with? I just tried astronomy.fm and I got options to open with browser or skyfire, not sysdev. Upon choosing either option it tells me to install flash.
[General Questions and Answers] tantrum829:
All desktop versions of YouTube, dailymotion, vimeo, and a few others.

It's not perfect but its working on the sites I most visit.

I need to try some others and I'll post the others that are payable later on.

I'm somewhat new Android and have done a little modding, but having pulled anything of a stock system yet. If you tell me how and what I need to do, then I can try pulling my stuff off tonight.
[General Questions and Answers] jhooper90:
You would need to install the Android SDK. For instructions, do a search for talkandroid android sdk guide. It should be the first result.

You just need the SDK, not any of the other stuff they suggest. You will need to install it with their instructions, and then add the tools folder into the computer's environmental variables, like they show you.

Then, in the command prompt, you would type: adb pull /system/framework/framework.jar *

Where * is the directory where you want to save the file. This framework.jar file is the one I need. If you get a read error when attempting this, try adb remount and try it again.
[General Questions and Answers] phygman:
If anyone knows how to use adb. I need a full /system dump. It takes a little work to get the drivers to load. Will also need to root your system.

Use 4zroot to root the system.

Download the android sdk to get adb and the usb drivers. The inf file needs modified to load the drivers. I will post that info soon.

If I can get some one to help with this I can recover my system and make a system recovery for all.

[General Questions and Answers] havic:
phygman

wasnt that your system dump that was on the megaupload site?

That was posted earlier in this thead.

I would do this but my system is all messed up.

So doubt it will help at all I tried to recover those mega up files and

now my touchscreen settings forceclose and can't get through the setup of the device. But atleast it boots now.
[General Questions and Answers] havic:
Hey not sure this will work as my system has a different rom that is kind of message up and not useable but I will send you a pm with the link to the framework file.
[General Questions and Answers] jhooper90:
Thanks, but I just need the framework.jar file. The one you sent me a link for, I can't download for some reason. Can you try it again?

Edit: Ooop, it's downloading it now. I'll try it and I'll keep you aprised. Unless you changed the Framework file specifically, it should be perfectly fine. I'm trying it now. I'll let you know how it works out.

Bootloader?

ok so i successfully rooted, installed clockworkmod, install g-apps, and flashed the cm based custom rom for this tablet, after flashing in clockwork and rebooting, i go through the first screen that says coby, gives bootlaoder version, processor info, the to the second screen that just says coby, then to what im guessing is the boot image for the custom rom, looks like a mix of a penguin a cat and some other animal, and i freeze there, i cannot reboot into clockwork, can anyone tell me how to load bootloader on this device, also im fairly new to using adb and giving commands but ive been doing good so far, is there a way to flash a rom through abd if you cant get the device past this screen to where windows will recognize it as the eclair device?

[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
Its just part of the regular driver.
[General Questions and Answers] guod2002:
part of the eclair driver? im thinking if thats the case, the custom rom was i believe froyo based so do i need to try to get windows to recognize the device as a froyo device? or is it just part of adbwinapi
[General Questions and Answers] guod2002:
ok, i think i have the driver issue figured out, it sees it as android phone bootloader interface now, however, when i open fastboot.exe, command prompt just flashes up then closes before i can even read the screen

i hit prtsc when i did this and this is what i see in fastboot...

usage : fastboot [ <option>] <command>

commands:

update <filename> reflash device from update.zip

there are alot more commands after that but i dont think its neccessary to type them all, like i said fastboot.exe opens and closes before i can even read these commands real time so i cant enter them....yet
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
Let try this again. First, you need to copy your recovery.img into the same directory as fastboot.exe, then open a command prompt window, cd to the previously mentioned directory, and execute this command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

ok, i think i have it figured out, like i said im still fairly new to adb so im still learning,

Sounds like you are new to command prompt as well. Did you get clockwork installed then?

actually, im back to square one, i didnt have the drivers figured out, windows was seeing the device as android bootloader interface but when i would type the commands in, it would sit there saying waiting for device and when i typed the fastboot device command, it did not show the device, i think im going to try this on a computer with windows 7, im not sure what the issue is with mine and im done for tonight, i really appreciate your help, if your interested in restoring clockwork for me, email me at guod2002@yahoo.com and we'll discuss compensation lol, id be willing to pay someone at this point

Hi guys... I'm new here and have a Coby Kyros MID7015... I would like to find out how to use the USB Host with a USB Bluetooth adapter and tether the device to my Blackberry 9700 to use it as a modem.

I'd also like to eventually use a USB GPS adapter as well.

[General Questions and Answers] BroDroid:
Anyone having a problem with there you tube not working?
[General Questions and Answers] :
What are your thoughts? With all of the new A8 based Coby tablets running 2.3 announced at CES, is the 7015 worth buying at this point? Not sure on release dates, but some have suggested as early as March. That said, I can pick up a 7015 for ~ $160 CAD today - not sure how much the new ones will sell for. My other thought is that the general consensus seems to be that the build quality of the 7015 is pretty decent - I guess there is no guarantee that the new ones will be manufactured by the same third party or to the same standards. Also not sure how much resale value the 7015 will have after 6 months. Even $160 looks kinda steep for the specs compared to the Nook Color retailing for $90 more - though Nook would require a trip to the US as I am in Canada. Canada needs more tablets!!

The impulsive side of me wants to jump on this, but I suspect it would be wiser to wait. Just feeling kinda twitchy since my PDN died :)

Just so you know guys, my Mid7015 is dead since yesterday. The screen is displaying a rainbow of colors vertically and white/black colors horizontally. I did a reset and same problem. I even have it during the post (when it display the amount of RAM, cpu, etc)

I'm currently on the phone speaking with the tech support. I'll you know how the tech support is in case you have a problem.

edit: Just to add that my wife was playing Solitaire on it when it started so I wasn't doing anything that could have damaged it
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
Every time I've had a device do that, its been a loose cable on the display or a cracked display. Usually if it s a crack you see an area that looks like the colors have dripped or bled onto it.

If you pop your tablet open (medium sized flat screwdriver inserted near the power switch does a clean job of it) you will see a large white connector on the right side of the board-- I am quite sure this is the video connector. Try re-seating this connection and see if it does the trick for you.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
I'll verify it tonight. Thanks for the info.

So here's how the warranty works

I contacted their support. Waited for about 5 minutes (not bad). Spoke with only one representative (which is great). Then she asked me what the problem was. Took my coordinates and gave me a ref number. She told me I need to send back the unit with a 10$ money order, a copy of the receipt, description of the problem and my ref number. So, I'm not sure how it will cost me send back my unit but from Canada to USA (Georgia), I guess it will cost me at least 15$-20$ + my 10$ money order for a total of 30$. Not bad, but would have expected not to pay anything since I received it on the 10th of December...
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
Can you return it to the store? I bought mine in late November, and it says on my receipt that I have until February (can't remember the exact date) to return or exchange it.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Thanks I'll try it tonight. Hope it will work cause I don't want to pay the shipping fees.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Nope I contacted Dell Canada and they said it was only valid for a month. Can't be believe that since I gave it for Christmas to my wife so technically it's only 3 weeks old (except that I played with it a lot before christmas).

I'll contact them again and say I'm not satisfied with the support
[General Questions and Answers] :
You guys in the US are lucky - much more selection and very liberal return policies. Here in Canada, the best it gets is TigerDirect stores with a few models, but returns are not easy. Archos might start dropping soon in our FutureShop and BestBuy chains, but right now they have nothing.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Wouhou! It worked! Thanks! In fact the back (cover) wasn't removed completely when the graphics became normal. Just in case, I removed it completely, disconnected the large white connector and connected it back. Powered on the device and everything was back how the graphics should look.

I made some small scratches but barely noticeable, well worth the saving of 30 bucks! :D

Thanks AdamTrick for that! I owe you one.

BTW... I'd strongly suggest Kmart for this tablet purchase. 90-day return policy, no questions asked. And you can get a 2-year replacement warranty for $14.

Video over wifi froyo vs eclair

Did you try the orb video with android eclair 2.1? My orb live tv and video drop out with android 2.1 on my rooted gapp 7015. My orb is an older version running on XP 2.8 single core Athlon computer. I can not use the current version of orb because the XP Athlon cpu is too weak.

I can get my HAVA (sling box like) to work in 2.1 when I stream a SD at low quality over my wifi g network although it takes a long time to buffer. By the way I also have Pogo Plug.

Pogo Plug and orb will stream music fine in 2.1 but the video mp4 starts and shortly stops.

I have been thinking about installing froyo but currently convert my Beyond TV files with VideoRedo TVSuite, removing the padding and/or commercials, to mp4 and use the eclair video players for playback. I could use froyo over wifi instead.

How did you get your hava working? I am using testtube on my lg ally. Testtube dosent show up in the market on my kyros.

Use the market to get VulkanoPlayer,apk. Moonsoon new player for Vulkano box that works on their legacy HAVA boxes.

I used the xscope trial web browser from 7015 to install the beta version of VulkanPlayer.apk from the link below. It works slightly better for me than the market version.

[General Questions and Answers] teamw:
I am a novice in this mod business, but did get my 7015 rooted and loaded with Marketplace using procedures explained here. Downloaded and installed the free Dish Remote Access streaming video ap to connect to my 922 sling server. It won't load - flashes a black screen with a dish header before returning immediately to home.

Could someone please see if this ap will load on a machine with cyanogen mod installed. If anyone has Dish and can try connecting, so much the better. But just knowing it will load will be sufficient for me to try to do the mod. Don't want to try it otherwise, because I will be returning the 7015 if the Dish ap will not work, and I don't want to brick it - which is a 50-50 prospect with my lack of knowledge.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Some bad news. The device started again to display graphics. Poped it open, removed the white ribbon, connected it again, still the same problem. I have no doubt that the problem resides in there since when I completely remove the ribbon, the screen went all white and when I plugged it back in the colors started to show.

Unfortunately there must be something wrong with the ribbon or the other side of the connector (side of the touchscreen) but I can't unscrew the screws since I need to have "super duper extra tiny" screwdriver but I don't. Anyway, I also had problems with the unit not turning on recently or not charging so I decided to ship the unit back to Coby to repair both problems. Let's hope they don't argue that because it is rooted and has the market on it, it voids the warranty. I wish I could have remove it first but without a display it's not an easy job.

I should get it back in 6 to 8 weeks.

My wife will really miss it since she's in maternity leave and was using it as a ebook reader and to play Solitaire :)

The only good thing I can see about having to wait 8 weeks is we might have some more improvements to it and making a fully working CyanogenMod :D

Hello all,

My Kyros finally showed up today so as of now I will be switching all dev work from the X5A-G over to the Kyros. Give me a bit to get use to it and I will put something out there... I usually try to keep things stock but optimized, however I am open to ideas. Hopefully the two tablets are not much different so that I will pick it up quickly. I am sure someone will ask so I will say it now...No kernel as of yet. I worked on the damn kernel from what Telechips released back in December for two weeks... I have also not heard any news on OMX drivers for Froyo either. I do however hope that there are some things I can pull out of this tablet to further the development on the X5A-G and vice versa.

Cheers
