Did you make the g script commands and put them on your main page?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Yes followed all instructions to a T. It says aquiring network s address for my droid, then it says unsuccessful and eventually forgets the ad hoc network all together until the next restart.

I find it strange that it recognizes it but wont connect to it. Standard network still works fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ang3lmack:
It could be the version of wireless tether you're using, I've had that happen when connecting my computer, try a different version from the website and see if that helps

aavato,

Just read this is another thread, I have an older version of adb but it looks like somene is saying in the newer versions of sdb the directory would be.

android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Give that a shot and see if it works. I take no credit for it, just passing along what I read elsewhere.....................

if your trying to push clockwork recovery dont use adb. you will pull all yourhair out just getting it to see your tab. use terminal emulater. it is sooooo much easier.

Since Appslib was down for days (and days) I did this with out installing a file manager

Follow instructions to install and get drivers working with the android sdk

then run:

adb install <fullpath to z4root>

Instead of installing the package with a file manager
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freemarj:
Windows Ultimate

Cannot get the usb driver installed on Windows 7 Ultimate. Any suggestions? More information. I downloaded and installed the SDK but that did not create the USB_driver folder or the .inf file. I manually created the folder and downloaded the .inf file from the link provided. Connected the Kyros device and attempted to update the driver. Windows Ultimate fails to update the driver. Can I complete the instructions an alternate way or must I update the driver and connect the device through Windows device manager?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jessikah0615:
I got all the way to this step:

12. Plug in your Kyros device. Windows will still not find the driver for the device, but go into the Device manager, and select AndroidEclair, and update driver, browse my computer, let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer

But then when i connect my Coby Kyros, nothing happens.... and when i search mny files i have nothing named AndroidEclair... Please help =/

Mine is also doing this, and is also driving me crazy!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
I'm a little confused by what you are asking. You plugged in the device and nothing happens, which probably means windows already has a driver designated for the Kyros(Note, you should not be mounting your SD, just plug the device into USB). Open device manager, try to locate which device the Kyros is. If you cant determine which one it is, simply unplug it and see which device disappears in device manager list. Plug the Kyros back in, go back into device manger and follow the steps listed.

I set wifi sleep to "never" but it still wakes up... it seems to not be as frequently but it still does it...

I just turned it on "Airplane Mode" to see if having the wifi totally off will do it.... so far it seems ok.

in any case can you just drag the vending apk to the tablet and install it or do you have to root to install market
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oostah:
Could it be that its trying to do a atomic update?

I cannot get the driver to work. Says "Windows encountered a problem while installing..."

I cant find the folder usb_driver after downloading from the sdk manager.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] curby:
Nevermind. fixed it. your driver files must be screwed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
In newer versions of the SDK I believe its in google-usb_driver folder. And when using adb you will cd/ to android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

instead of android-sdk-windows like in older versions.

Dont quote me on this because I use an older version. Just passing along what ive heard.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rodenti:
Thanks to this thread I was able to successfully get Android Market and clockwork mod installed on mine, but it has one quirk that is bothering me... the clock on the device doesn't keep time when it is put in standby mode. When I press the power button to wake it up the time on the device is the same as when I last used it.

Unfortunately, I didn't notice if this worked or not before rooting... has anyone experienced this with this tablet, and is there any way for me to fix it?

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Do you mean an app update from the market?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oostah:
No the tablet. I had a phone that would wake up to look for updates. I had to turn off atomic update in the settings. Just a thought.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
Ok so i have a Nook Color and the Kyros. About a week ago the idea of renaming the Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk came up becuase on the batter life screen it said that they were the cause of the most power consumption..... Now it is still up for debate wether or not it actually saves power, but i am having the same problem as you with my Kyros randomly turning on and thought i would give it a shot.

I made a nandroid backup, just in case, renamed the files using ADB and rebooted. its only been about 10 mins but i only saw it wake up once so far and it was within 5 secs of me initially putting it to sleep. Seems to have helped. I will post again in a few hours after i have sat here staring at a blank screen, waiting for it to turn on....................

One weird thing.... it says (No service) now in the upper left hand corner of the lock screen. but everything else seems to be fine.

this is the name of the thread where I found the info for the Nook Color.

[SCRIPT] Remove Cell Standby Service (Super Battery Life!)

UPDATE: Did not help. Still turning on..... I also tried turning off auto sync.... didnt help.

Has anyone seen if this still happens when running Cyanogen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
I have no problems with mine. Works fine and doesnt turn back on in standby mode. Maybe try making a backup and doing a data/cache wipe and reinstalling?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
Well I should of been a little more scientific and took my time because I dont know what fixed it but its better. I wiped cache and the dalvec. But I also noticed that the original update file I had on my Kyros was 5.7 MB and the one listed here was 5.2. So I ran the new update while in clockwork.

Whatever it was it doesn't wake randomly anymore so I'm happy.

Thank you for the advice.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] SamDroid86:
Can you elaborate on what "update.zip" you are talking about? Right now the constant waking up is driving me crazy.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
There is a thread on XDA called Colby kyros 7105 geting the most out of 2.1 (eclair). At the beginning if the thread there is a update for people that have ALREADY rooted. That's the update I used. I believe wiping the cache and dalvic in clockwork may have had something to do with it.

Hope it helps. Drove me crazy too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janlsun:
Will I still be able to update firmware to 2.2 after rooting?

I just purchased Coby Kyros and am considering rooting. The firmware is at 2.1 update 1. If I rooted, will I still be able to update to 2.2 when it becomes available?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
Well there is always a way to restore your tablet using the stock recovery. I have not heard anything about 2.2 coming to this device other than by porting cyanogen 6, which the wonderful developers are hard at work at.

Rooting the device does not mess with its stability if you follow all of the directions to the T.

By what I have been reading, rooting and flashing CM6 may be the only way you'll ever see 2.2 on the kyros.

ok so i when i lanched the sdkmanager it did its thing when i went back to open the folder usb_driver there was not one. i end up having to download another driver file ( found on this tread) that worked computer found it, now i am trying to do the recovey img. and i am suck i hve no clue where to find ( i saved everything on to the decktop)on the sd card there was not root folder or i made a a new folder and called it root will that work or am i missing something. i have been working with this all day and have gotten no where so now i am clueless as to what to do any help?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Tried the update for people who have already rooted from the thread mentioned in the post above...

I had to re-root and reinstall the clockwork recovery.

Seemed to be ok, but as soon a the market updated itself, it starred waking up again.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cc993:
I got to this point in the clockwork install guide (9. Type adb reboot recovery and press enter). When I pressed enter my tablet went blank ,then my pc started installing new drivers.Now in device manager it shows as "adb interface" under that says "fastboot interface (google usb id)".Tablet now doesnt do anything.Is there anyway to get it to turn on?

Thanks for any help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
I think the important part you are missing was the data/cache wipe. It is more likely this fixed the problem than the update.zip. try making a backup and them wiping data/cache and then restoring and see if that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Sounds like you may have somehow got your device in fastboot mode, if thats the case you should be ok(hope you didnt brick it). When rebooting in fastboot the device will appear to hang on boot. What does device do when you power it on? Nothing? To get into fastboot mode you reset the device while holding down the menu button. Take a look and see if maybe the menu key might be stuck or make sure your not pressing menu at all while rebooting(I realize you probably aren't but better to get the obvious out of the way). If its stuck on the Coby screen and you cant seem to do anything to get rid of it(which happens in fastboot), just try hitting the reset and see if it reboots successfully. If not you can do the below to see if you are rebooting into fastboot mode somehow.

To tell if you are in fastboot, make sure you power the device on(realizing that it may not fully boot, likely will hang on the Coby screen), make sure its connected to usb and in terminal cd to the usual android-sdk-windows/tools folder type "fastboot devices" minus the quotes. If it lists a device there you are in fastboot mode.

Give it a shot and post back the results. If your in fastboot don't worry we should be able to get you back up and running again.

Using Terminal Emulator without usb keyboard

Just an fyi, using terminal emulator is much simpler than accessing the Kyros through adb. You can generally find an apk for the app on google. Also you don't need a usb keyboard connected to the tablet. If your on screen keypad doesn't pop up, hold down the menu button and the keypad will pop up allowing you to type in the commands without even using the computer. Just make sure to check for typos.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cc993:
Thanks Acturbo for replying.I hit the reset button on the back then it booted up normally. I just dont know what I did wrong. The screen was blank ,I tried all the buttons and it wouldnt do anything.

I just want to get android market on it but Im a little hesitant to try again.

Thanks again
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
Wow didn't even notice that I lost root till today. Redid root, clockwork, and reinstalled gapps. And gapps.is what makes it wake up,........ don't have time to mess with different Google apps right now bit I will dive deeper tonight when I get back home.

Which version of g apps have you tried?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Not a problem, sounds to me like you were stuck in fastboot mode momentarily. When it fastboot, none of the buttons work so it would make sense. Maybe the way you had the Kyros laying/the way you were holding it you were somehow pressing the menu button. Either way glad you got it fixed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
Hey acturbo, do you have your kyros rooted and gapps installed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip

It seems like after the market updates to the new version is when it starts waking randomly. I'm not positive of the correlation, but every time I've backed up to pre-gapps then installed gapps, it doesn't wake.... for about 10 minutes.... as soon as it does the first time, the market is the new version.

Is there a way to temporarily disable the Market process to see what happens?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Yes, I was using the one from this thread but I recently tried the Cyanogen mod so that is what I am currently running. Everything has worked fine using both.

i can't put in links in my posts but go to youtube and search: Coby Kyros Android Tablet MID7015 Step by Step and the video is by phase3d and 15:00 long. Real easy walk through I wish I had this when I spent 2 1/2 weeks trying to root my Coby tablet. It is all done with the Coby tablet no USB keyboard and no computer except to download all the needed files and put them on the SD card.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seahurst:
I have the same wakeup problem after root and getting Google's Market to work. Tried everything I have seen from this thread and nothing helped either (clean cache, etc...). Just now, I notice that after I re-installed AppsLib from appslib.com/latest, the waking up problem went away. Hopefully that was it.

Edit: can someone with the same wake problem prove my theory: I consistently able to solve the wake up problem by using Advanced Task Killer from the market and specifically killed AppsLib + Amazon MP3 + Voice Search. I've narrowed it down to those 3 apps running at the same time to cause the wake up problem. Any one or 2 won't reproduce the problem.

My temporary solution for now is to run Advanced Task Killer and kill all running apps before I shut down the screen.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rebrabla:
Thanks for the guide

I have followed this guide and everything appears to be fine. But I still have two question.

1) The voice search on any google app causes a force close. Is this happening to everyone , or have I did something wrong ?

2) Could I follow the update process from coby with the update.zip the provided to get back to normal eventhough I have flashed the rom ? If not could you explain why a bit so I can start understanding how all this works.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Voice Search is borked by default, nothing you did, just the way it is currently.

You can always go back to factory if you need to, I'm not 100% sure if the update.zip from Coby would do it or not but you could always flash back to stock(you would likely still have clockwork mod and be rooted), you just may need to grab a copy of the stock files from someone if the update.zip doesnt do the trick.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Installing the new AppsLib did not correct the waking problem. I just put mine to sleep with Amazon MP3, AppsLib, and Voice Search killed.....

Haven't seen it wake up yet... If that does fix it. I'd say just delete those 3 things. I definitely don't need Amazon Mp3... I have the Market so I don't need AppsLib, and the voice search... I can live without that if the screen doesn't wake every 20 sec...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
With Amazon MP3, Voice Search, and AppsLib killed, I didn't see the tablet wake in over an hour. (I could have missed it, but it's sitting between my keyboard and my monitor - so at any rate it's less than before).

Since this seemed to fix the problem (or at least 'bandaid' it) I uninstalled Amazon MP3 and AppsLib using Titanium Backup. Then I opened up Terminal Emulator and under root ran:

#pm disable com.google.android.voicesearch.

Right after doing that things went crazy... both the stock Launcher and Zeam kept force quitting, I couldn't open any apps, long pressing home and selecting a previously opened app would result in a 'force close.' I was pretty sure I had killed it. But after I rebooted... so far so good. I'll keep you posted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
If that really is the problem use titanium backup to freeze the app. I will check tonight when I get home to see if I can prove your theory.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] depassp:
After disabling voicesearch, my onscreen keyboard no longer works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
{embarrassed} Um..... yeah. Sorry about that.... I didn't use anything that required the keyboard until later this evening.

So in conclusion, don't run #pm disable com.google.android.voicesearch. Unless you have another keyboard installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seahurst:
FYI, I uninstalled only Amazon MP3 and the wake up problem is no longer there. Again, it's the combination of AppsLib, Amazon MP3 and Voice Search running at the same time that's causing the problem. Any one or two of those apps running at the same time doesn't reproduce the wake up. So, just uninstall one of those three that you don't need and it's good enough.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Even after uninstalling Amazon Mp3, it would still wake for seemingly no reason, though not as often.

As of right now:

-Amazon Mp3 is deleted via Titanium Backup

-Appslib disabled via #pm disable com.appslib.vending

-Gingerbread Keyboard for Eclair installed via http://www.mediafire.com/?cdi0w2b7sbhig56

-Disabled voice search via #pm disable com.google.android.voicesearch

So far... no waking (except for normal things like incoming email/im)

Coby Kyros 7015 Waking Problem

After reading the posts on this site, in order to solve the Coby Kyros 7015 waking problem, I opened Terminal and deleted the Amazon.MP3.apk file from the Directory /system/app. So far I have not noticed the waking problem.

But now I have what must be an ignorant question. What if any is the difference between an .apk file and the actual application? I thought that an .apk file was the installer file for an app, and that after the application was installed, the .apk file could be deleted. But in this case, deleting the .apk file seemed to delete the application itself (although I had never installed the Amazon.mp3 app and it never showed up under "Manage Applications)."

Sorry for my confusion. Please explain.

Thanks.

New at the Coby 7015 mod

Ok, i've followed all the step that is posted on this site, but I seem to have problems with getting the Clockwork Mod to run, Coby boots up but then is stuck on the device enter fastboot mode please connect usb to pc or reset the device. I don't know how I got to this point...I've uninstalled everything and even try to factory reset the device, but when the coby boots up again i get the message ....what am i doing wrong?:confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Make sure that your menu button isn't stuck or something and that you aren't hitting it while rebooting. If you are getting stuck in fastboot you may have to reflash to get everything back.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anthony6817:
thanks for the reply Acturbo, but how do i reflash the device
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Well first you are probably going to want to verify that you are in fact stuck in fastboot and haven't bricked the device altogether.

When you power on the screen what do you see? If in fastboot you will probably be stuck on the Coby screen. When your device is plugged in via USB how does the computer recognize it if at all? You may first have to install the drivers if the computer is recognizing it improperly. If it shows up as a fastboot device then it is likely that you are stuck in fastboot.

Plug in via USB make sure it is recognized as a fastboot device and cd/ to your SDK/tools folder. Type "fastboot devices" minus the quotes, and make sure the computer recognizes it. Let me know what your results are. PM me if its easier for you.

gapps force closes

So, I went through all the rooting/gapps installation stuff and everything went perfectly fine. I was able to install plenty of Market apps, update a few and even purchase some. However, when I turned off the tablet and turned it back on, I get the message "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped... blah blah". And then any app I try to download or update just freezes at "Starting download" and wont continue at all. I'm not sure if this has been addressed yet or not, but I was just wondering if anyone has had any similar issues or if there is a fix somewhere. I've already done a factory reset and re-rooted and reinstalled gapps, and it was the exact same reaction: works until i restart the tablet.

Note: I have updated to the firmware that was on the Coby website before rooting and installing gapps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
How exactly did you do the factory reset? Before reinstalling did you make sure to wipe data/cache?
