clockworkMOD recovery menu not recognizing gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip

ok i finally got all the way down to installing google marketplace put the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip in the root of my sd card, it goes into clockworkMod recovery menu (well at least it does don't really know what that menu looks like). the second option is install update.zip from SD card. for some reason the sd card doesn't pull up the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip its trying to pull up the coby firmware update file which is not even on my root of the SD card. can someone please explain why it might be doing this? can i clear the cache from this menu? will you think that will help find the gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip on my SD card. thanks for your help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] willy900wonka:
IIRC there's another option of flashing a .zip from the sdcard. One chooses which directory/folder to flash from. You'll see it there. I did.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] datadawg:
Any clues for the clueless me?

When I try to boot into the menu system using the power+back button the unit will only boot to a scree with the green droid with a sign above his head with an exclamation mark on it. To get out of that I have to reboot with the reset pip.

Android works fine but I can do anything other than the base programs cant add the marketplace zip or anything.

HELP! MAYDAY! lol

When I plug the 7015 into my Windows 7 Ultimate machine, it says it cannot find the "Android Eclair" driver. I've done a search and it seems others are having the same problem. Any ideas?

Have you read.the tutorial ?

Post #1, step 6-11
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Anybody else's MID7015 waking up all by itself every 20 seconds?

This is driving me CRAZY.

Rooted MID7015

Clockwork

Gapps

I tried all the screen timeout options.... same thing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Well, when it's plugged in it makes stupid sound every time I move it but don't think I have the waking up problem
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
OK. I restored to the point right after I installed clockwork. No random waking. I flashed the gapps zip. No random waking. Updated to latest versions of apps. Installed Google Books.

Soon after Ininstalled google books, I noticed that it was self-waking every 20 seconds again... but also the new market (the brand new revamped one) is installed too (though it was the old market before I ran any updates.)

I suspect the new market may be the cause.... Is there a way to revert to the old market to tell?

EDIT: While I'm on the topic... anyone else get the market upgrade?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
I have the market upgrade but don't remember having waking up problem. Sorry I can't verify it's my wife's christmas gift and it's already wrapped but I'm pretty sure I would have notice if I had that problem because it seems really annoying.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Well this morning I plugged it in (low power shut down last night) and also plugged a USB keyboard in and it hasn't done the waking thing yet. When it's done charging, I'll unplug it and see what happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
Here's a vid... It wakes up at 10s, 41s, 1:10, and 1:30

Question: Can I put the Coby Update 1 zip back on it and start over? Or do I have to undo root/recovery before I do that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
OK... I have a co-worker who also got a Kyros tablet and she brought it to me today to root it. It's a MID7015 with the Update1 from the Coby website.

I did the following:

Installed File Manger from AppsLib

Installed and Ran z4root from SD card

Installed terminal emulator from AppsLib

Connected USB keyboard

In Terminal I typed:

- su

- mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

- flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

- reboot recovery

Ran backup in Recovery

Flashed Gapps

Rebooted

Same bizarre waking behavior. It started about 5 minutes after I booted it up. As soon as it woke up the battery indactor went from green to yellow. Also I unlocked it and checked the market and it was updated to the new version.

Could this be battery level indicator related?

Is nobody else having this problem? Is it possible that you're just not noticing it because the cover is closed when you're not using it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] IAmHostageInc:
I'm getting the samething on my tablet it turns on and off every few sec..and i can't even get it to go thru the whole typing thing it keeps telling me the file doesn't exist.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
at what point does it say that the file doesn't exist?

Most likely the file isn't where you are telling it that it is, or it's named differently.

New to this and I am having an issue with step 7: You should now see a folder called usb_driver. Open that folder.

Where is this folder? I have tried this on a vista and a windows 7 machine and can not find the folder. It does not pop up after closing android-sdk-r08.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
It's in the same place you downloaded the Android sdk. So if you downloaded your sdk in c:\documents and settings\%username%\downloads then your folder should be in the ...\downloads\Android-sdk-Windows (or something like that) folder
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
I tried this on Win 7 64-bit and there was no usb_driver folder in the android sdk folder. Which is why I went for the terminal emulator method:

Install File Manger from AppsLib

Install and Run z4root from SD card

Install terminal emulator from AppsLib

Connected USB keyboard

In Terminal type (don't type the "#" - just the commands):

# su

# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

# reboot recovery

Run backup in Recovery

Flash Gapps

Reboot

AppsLib

Is anyone else having trouble accessing AppsLib? I opened the kids tablets on Christmas eve and it was working fine. It wasn't working last night nor today. I have updated the firmware and I know that I have WIFI access and can surf the net on the tablet but for some reason I can not get the Library open on either tablet, I have two. I am seriously doing th rooting option and I need that file manager.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] willyarnold:
Has anyone figured this out yet? I have asked on other forums and no one seems to know what is causing it. And since I'm asking, here are some other curiosities:

2. There seems to be no way to lock the screen rotation. Has anyone found a way to do this?

3. Pictures stretch and people look fat in landscape mode. Maybe this can be fixed in software or maybe the pixels are not truly "square."

I know these are not strictly "developer" questions, but I've asked elsewhere and no one seems to know the answers. So maybe some of the big guns here might have a clue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Willy

Oh, and in answer to the above questions, AppsLib is presently down. Hopefully it will be back soon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gregmn:
I believe I have found the fix. Go to Settings...Wireless & Networks....Wi-Fi Settings....Press the Menu key,,,,,select Advanced...Wi-Fi Sleep policy...choose Never...save changes.

A Couple of pages back someone said they used a Cyanogenmod on there Kyros 7015. Just wondering which one would work with this one.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] depassp:
Thank you for the guide!

I was able to root my MID7015 using Linux (Ubuntu 8.04). Had no trouble with drivers -- just had to use the Linux Android SDK Tools.

I initially had some trouble getting a File Manager since AppsLib was down, but I was able to sideload "Android File Manager" from Freewarelovers

Thanks again!

Ok bought the Coby tablet... trying to root this darn thing. Kinda new to Android, other than playing with it on my Touch Pro 2.

AppsLib is not working. Hence not able to download the File Manager. Read about sideloading apps. Can not get the USB driver to work with Win 7 or Vista, no matter what I try [already editted inf file... downloaded folder that somebody had posted]

any tips? Thanks!

nothing but touble

So i finally got my coby rooted then android market stopped working saying it wasn't downloaded even though i was just on it and some other gapps stopped working so i did a factory restore and tried rooting it again but appslib is down i was able to download an apk for a file manager to root it via the terminal emulator but cant find a working termulator apk that works any ideas? on how to bypass downloading a termulator on appslib?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] csmjvh:

They are still having trouble with the AppsLib? Man this is very frustrating.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oostah:
I Googeled file manger apk from the coby download it. Click on it in the drop down and install it. Used my phone to download the zroot and had terminal on my phone used PC to get the apk from phone. then PC to coby use the filemanger to open apks or download every thing to coby from xda. Then open with file manger that you get from Google download.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] demo4o1:
Wow this is da hardest way EVER
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 3matthew3:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] depassp:
I was able to root mine and install gapps without any access to AppsLib. The key app you need is a File Manager, which you can sideload over USB or by using a microSD card.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ang3lmack:
Which file manager did you side load, and where did you go to do it? On the tablet because that's the only reason I thought I needed appslib

Anyone know why I cant get clockwork mod to stick?

I go through and install clockwork and reboot into clockwork. Works fine the first time. If I go back into the tab and try to reboot back into clockwork, I get the Coby recovery. I cant seem to duplicate clockwork. I have successfully installed the market and all but I always go back into the coby recovery and have to go through and reflash clockwork for it to reboot into clockwork mod. It doesnt appear to keep my settings after the initial reboot into clockwork. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem could be? Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ang3lmack:
I just want to say thanks to everyone that helped me, for anyone else I downloaded the file manger online and installed it through adb onto the tablet which made it possible to install z4root

How do I install it through adb on an unrooted Kyros. I have both the zip and the adb of andexplorer but cant seem to get it to install. Unfortunately for me AppsLib is still not working so the only reason I currently cant Root is I have no file manager to help me out.

Using the Coby Google file manger apk download it should be the 1st or 2nd link. Download the apk. Win it downloads to the coby and installs pull down the drop down tap and click on it and open install. Then go to where you put the zroot and install it

The folder on my Windows 7 Professional upon completion of the update is actually named google-usb_driver, not sure if thats the correct one even though I found the android_winusb.inf and did the steps required.

Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered anerror while attempting to install it. Android Composite ADB Interface. The system cannot fnd the file specified.

has anyone had this issue and/or the solution so that I may continue forward.

I have tried both methods by copying and pasting the steps 6-11 and downloading the already adjusted .inf and trying that but neither worked for me.

Help and Thanks in Advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
The easiest way to install really is not to use adb at all if you aren't that familiar with it. Just search google for andexplorer from your tab. Click the link to download the apk. Once downloaded you can install right from the browser by clicking on the downloaded file.

To answer your second question. If you put it on the root of your SD card it will be located in the following place. Open andexplorer click SD card in the middle at the top. click "go to up folder". Then scroll down to sdcard and click on it. The file should be located in there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Acturbo:
Mine originally said the same thing on vista, but adb was still able to see my device. You can check to see if adb can see your device by connecting it to the computer. Dont mount any SD card just have it connected and turned on with usb plugged in. open cmd prompt and cd\ to your android-sdk-windows\tools folder. From the prompt then type adb devices and see if it returns anything. If it can read your device you should get something that looks like this:

List of devices attached

0121231243423ABCDEF device

If you dont get a number returned it still cant read your device and maybe someone else can help you. If it can see your device you can continue the process.

hello im getting the coby kyros later this week and i want to know if you can just root the device and install android market

i would also like to know what is clockmod recovery

i use android alot but i never heard of clockmod recovery

one more thing, is there any videos online that show the process of rooting the coby kyros, i really dont want to mess up this thing when i get it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] angel+android=<3:
rooting the device

..................................
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
You need clockworkmod recovery in order to install the market (Gapps). Clockworkmod is a recovery that gives you plenty of functionnality like flashing unsigned zip, making nandroid (backup of your operating system if you prefer).

You won't mess up your device if you follow the instruction. It's really simple. It took me barely 10 minutes to do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aavato:
Hmmm, I wonder since I actually didnt put the android SDK on my C: it isnt working or perhaps I am missing something. I went to cmd prompt and to my android-sdk-windows\tools folder and typed in adb devices at the prompt and it returned a 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Does anyone know what step or steps I missed, or where I can correct the errors of my ways. I am using Windows 7 Pro 64bit, I have already rooted and it says superuser, I can see the Android Eclair with a Yellow exclamation triangle on it but just cant seem to get the device driver to work.

I am currently running Android SDK Updater Revision 8, not very familiar with this particular program so dont know if I have all the packages required although I updated or accepted all

It took me a while to figure out how to load clockwork a second time, in order to install google apps. Currently, my tablet doesn't seem to want to load past the android screen. I'm going to try and recover disk again, from the backup I made initially loading clockwork. If that doesn't work, do I have a brick?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JLCollins005:
im having the same issue, installed sdk on both my laptop which runs win 7 pro 32 and my desktop which is win 7 pro 64 and got the same problem there was no usb folder, so then i downloaded the usb driver file, and pointed the driver install to the file and got your same error with the not being able to install. I did check adb devices and nothing shows, happens on both computers is this just a windows 7 thing.

Im hoping i dont have to wipe and install xp just to do this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JLCollins005:
So i finally got passed the driver thing, used adb and now when trying to enter recover it says something about google fast boot waiting and never does anything please tell me if im suppose to do something here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JLCollins005:
NM what i did to get passed the driver issue on win 7 32 is reinstalled android sdk then went to available packages like mentioned and chose the usb then instead of using the already modified usb on rapidshare which failed to work everytime i just edited the one it downloaded with the info in the tutorial and it worked like a charm. for some reason it still wont work on my desktop that runs 64. and the waiting on google thing i just reflashed clockwork through adb and it worked its backing up my tab right now.

Thinks to everyone who posted on this thread and the person(s) involved in making the tutorial
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aavato:
Its funny I get one step forward everytime I come back on here, finally got it to recognize the device and update the drivers. Now I cant seem to get it to do the adb shell or su keeps giving me a unrecognized command.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Nope, it's not bricked. It's bricked when basically you have a blackscreen, you can't adb your device and Windows/Linux doesn't recognize it.

Try to install it again and wait 10-15 minutes. If it doesn't work, do a wipe and install again. I flash 2-3 roms on my HTC desire every week and I sometime have this problem. No need to restore your backup
