Just make sure you do nandroid backup and if she doesn't like froyo then you restore from your backup the original eclair version

The only thing that is really bugging me and I can't remember if it was the same with eclair is the text that is sometimes sluggish... Most visible in the title bar of astro file manager I think

[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
Installing clockworkmod is in Step 3. The update from Coby in Step 1 wipes out root and clockwork, so it is pointless to install clockwork before the update. Step 2 gets you root access so you can install clockwork in Step 3. Just follow the instructions step by step and you will be fine.

Suggestion, what if you include http://cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_num_id=10498&pcat_id=1013 in your link to the update from Coby and reference the video tutorial on installing for newbies.
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
My Dear JMFrost

I can see why you would want to skip installing the update.zip in step one. However, this is the manufacturer's update and although we don't know exactly what this does, it is suspected that it improves the touch screen, wifi, and fixes the reversed g-sensor. I feel that it is in our best interests to install update.zip, as suggested in step one.This update will wipe out Root access and clockworkmod, so it would be a waste of your time to install either of these program before the update.

If you have already installed clockworkmod, then please download the modified version of update.zip-- the only change made was to remove a couple lines of code that prevented it from running in clockworkmod.

If you chose to skip installing update.zip, that is OK but you may regret not have the aforementioned upgrades to wifi, touchscreen, and the g-sensor. You can, of course, install update.zip at anytime, but be aware that it will wipe out any work you have already done with cyanogenmod. I am sure, now that you are better informed, that you see why I listed the update.zip, which Coby provided us for their fine product, as the first in this guide.

Warmest Regards,

Adam Dietrick

oh many posts day :)

just for clarify.

1. I'm not a member of CyanogenMod project

2. I can use CyanogenMod source for my Telechips tablets because it's open/free.

3. CyanogenMod source tree has some "branch". I just said I grabbed/used source from "froyo-stable" branch at this time (1202).

4. I'm a member of Team Telechips

5. we are porting (work-in-progress) CyanogenMod to Telechips tablets

6. missing many features, has many bugs, unstable, non-production quality, early development stage

7. ...and finally MID7015 reaches our early development stage. enjoy developing! :)

as I said, no promise, no warranty. if someone says "it's stable! well supported!", you(someone) have responsible.

Download this signed ZIP, copy to SDcard. Reboot into clockworkmod, BACKUP!!! and then choose install zip from sdcard and then choose the signed zip you just downloaded. Reboot, enjoy.

I just tested with cyanogenmod.

random notes.

I want to add functionality for calibration/grab MAC address inside in CM. but need more work/time.

update.zip form image is better, "adb push" will not be required in future.

--

in clockworkmod recovery, you can use adb, can mount /system. and you can skip error :) while install update.zip.

so I think you can do

1. flash clockworkmod recovery

2. boot recovery

3. install COBY's original update.zip (with ignore assert option)

4. connect adb, mount /system (by command or by menu), rename install-recovery.sh

but 3. 4. are bit complicate so I don't recommend it for everyone.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
I know, I explained myself later with the source being compiled with the stable release and not the experimental release. I didn't mean to say the new version is now a stable release for the Mid 7015. Sorry if I misled some people.
[General Questions and Answers] fun_:
I see. but previous build was also mostly same as CM6.1, because it was in RC stage. froyo-stable branch was created just after (or just before) CM6.1 released. it was several days ago. no big difference between froyo branch and froyo-stable at this time.

and, it is important, no one in CyanogenMod project support any of my build. it's just my(team telechips) work.

many unofficial CM ports are available on the net. my build is one of them.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Understood. Before your precisions I though you were working for CM.oups...

Anyway, thanks for your great work. Once it is more stable, I'll donate to the Telechips team or to you (if you have an account)

I'm attempting this now. So far I copied the zip to my sdcard, plugged in the device and on the computer in command prompt typed: adb shell

but it comes up and says 'adb server is out of date, Killing'

any idea of how i can flash into recovery?

I have the recovery file on the sdcard but i can't get as far as telling it to flash

any ideas? thanks
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
hum... weird. Are you sure you have downloaded the Android sdk and installed the usb driver ?

You can try this

adb kill-server

adb usb (it should say something like connected to device)

then type adb shell

let me know if it works
[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
thanks,

things are working until this step:

I just get a list of instructions on that command, the tablet never reboots

Just to be sure I'm not making a mistake: I'm using the same recovery.img that I placed on the card when I first installed clockwork and the market..

I am following these steps here and get stuck on step 9:
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Are you sure you exited superuser mode and shell mode ?

Instead of CTRL +C, type exit 2 times until you don't see the pound sign (#) then type adb reboot recovery
[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
Yes, it definitely exits superuser mode.

Sometimes connecting the device and running adb shell it says 'device not connected'. I have to keep unplugging and replugging and then adb shell command works.

Here's a screenshot of the error in command prompt.

Let me know what you think.
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
honestly I don't know. It really seems like the reboot option doesn't exist on the sdk version you have installed. (I see that you have version 1.0.20. My version is 1.0.26.)

To reboot in recovery, you can follow the guide on the coby website.

http://cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_num_id=10498&pcat_id=1013

Click on "How to update MID7015 firmware" and just follow the instruction to go in recovery.

btw, does it work if you only type adb reboot ?
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Wouldn't you have DroidExplorer by any chance on your pc ? If yes, then there is your problem of "Adb server is out of date".

Kill the process DroidExplorer in task manager. Go in your services and set the DroidExplorer service to manual and start again your adb. It should work.

I only had it working for a brief time, and that was on cyanogen. It quickly quit on me and I have not been able to get this new version of market working again.
[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:

[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:

[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
well,

I dropped your zip on the root of the sd, connected my device, launched cmd.exe and entered these commands, only this time after telling it to reboot, it actually did reboot into recovery and I didn't get any errors about adb being out of date:

then I followed your instructions, but i didn't backup...

after it installed i didn't read all the text that scrolled up, but there was no obvious error. I navigated back thru the menu and rebooted. Yet clicking on the Market app still brings up the original...
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
So you were rebooted into clockworkmod on your tablet? You then chose backup/restore and then chose backup from the next menu?
[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
well i think i rebooted into recovery.img,

and no i did not choose backup/restore, I selected 'install zip from sdcard'
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
I very much advise doing a backup first.

Anyway, you select install zip from sdcard, select Vending-2.2.6-signed-testkeys.update and then you should be presented with a screen with about ten "no"'s and one "yes." clearly, select the yes. once it installs successfully, choose to reboot.
[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
oh yes, i forgot about that screen with the no's.

Correct, I navigated down to the 'yes' and then selected reboot
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
You executed the procedure correctly, with no success. Let me ask you something, how did you get the old market on without having had clockworkmod prior to this?
[General Questions and Answers] Deenybird:
no, i did have CM. I followed this great guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858952

I just retried the install with the same result. I watched the install process this time, and it seemed to install fine, ending with 'install complete'....
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
I think, perhaps, the main difference is that I was installing to CyanogenMod-- which is based of of Froyo, and you are trying to install to Eclair.

Tablet for dad

Hey guys just had some quick questions for those of you that have experience with this device. My dad loves my G tablet, but sadly I cannot afford to get him one for Christmas. He has some experience with Android(Owns a Droid). I could take care of getting standard market up and running for him. So here are my questions:

Would this device be sufficient as a reader(kindle, nook, etc). Would it be ok for casual internet surfing? How is the touch screen?

Its either one of these or a non color nook. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
Well... it depends what your dad is expecting. I have an HTC Desire which is by far more powerfull than my Coby tablet. I bought it for my wife as a Christmas gift and I'm pretty she will love it. I installed CyanogenMod, the market, the fix to see all market apps and it's working great. You don't need to install CyanogenMod as it's only in beta mode right now but I think the market is a must. I installed FBREader as the ebook reader and it's working great. I convert all my ebooks with Calibre and them copy them on my microsd card in my tablet. She currently has a ebook reader and hates it. It takes 1-2 to turn pages, it freezes, etc so this tablet will perfect for her because there are no lags

Regarding the surfing. It seems fine. I haven't had any problems. My only complains is about games like Angry Birds that don't work and some artifacts but maybe the artifacts are only because of CyanogenMod.

Now, for the touscreen. It took me a while to get used to it as, like I said, I own a HTC Desire so moving from a capacitive toushcreen to a resistive touchscreen is something really different and you need to get used it.

Hope it helps
[General Questions and Answers] Acturbo:
Thanks for your quick reply it is very helpful. I think I'm leaning towards this over the Nook right now just so he could have access to the internet and I'm sure there are a few other apps he has on his phone now that would work that he would find useful. One final question, do you have any idea if both the nook and kindle apps work on the Coby?
[General Questions and Answers] stoned99:
I didn't try them and don't have it with me right now but I'm pretty sure it works. I installed FBReader and Google Books and both were working perfectly so I don't see why Nook and Kindle apps wouldn't work.

For everyone who has tested the Lonpad firmware, the touchscreen stops working?

That would indicate that the touchscreens between the two devices are physically different, and that I had been misreporting that the screen was a resistive multitouch panel n the 7015. Can someone confirm once and for all?
[General Questions and Answers] fun_:
I'm bit confusing. can someone clarify?

I know COBY 7015 has capability for flashing by fastboot.

I think Lonpad D7 has capability for flashing by FWDN because Lonpad provides FWDN & tcc8900_mtd.img style updater.

I'm not sure 7015 has FWDN capability, and I'm not sure D7 has fastboot capability too.

it may possible the device which was flashed with wrong bootloader(lk.rom) for another device may get another capability. but I want to know the capability under official ROM.

--

if 7015 and D7 are different, then I want to know which one is EM71 ;)
[General Questions and Answers] xaueious:
Pandawill told me that the EM71 was the Lonpad D7 in a live chat session before.

According to this thread, flashing the MID7015 with the Lonpad D7 makes the touchscreen unusable: http://tipstir.the-talk.net/mid7015...lacements-for-mid7015-4g-with-market-t709.htm

This indicates that the kernel is compatible at least in the recovery, as he was able to revert to the the original ROM by flashing via recovery update.zip.

The D7 is listed as a multitouch resistive touchpanel while the 7015 is listed as a single touch.
[General Questions and Answers] adamdietrick:
I wonder if the touchscreen is actually non-working or just horribly mis-calibrated as was the case when we first install CyanogenMod. Has anyone tried pushing their calc_table to the device after flashing Lonpad?

So far all are working. You can't read the txt on Angry Birds, but I haven't fooled around with any settings yet, but the game is playable if you know what to click on.

I must say, I am quite impressed with this unit for the price. I think $150 would be a more appropriate price point, but that's me. I was even more impressed that the music player recognized music from MicroSD AND a USB flash drive (256 MB FAT32). My $400 VS Gtablet won't even do that yet.
