Are you losing root or just losing clockworkmod? If this is the case, it is a known issue that the update (step one) overwrites clockworkmod on reboot, and that is why we have more than just the one line of code for installing clockworkmod.

From ADB:

adb remount
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

If clockworkmod is what you are having issues with, that should make it say put.

Using MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi with 2.1

I have already installed gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip to get Market. Can I upload MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip to my SDcard and use your ClockworkMod instruction: "Choose "Install Zip from SDcard" and select MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi.zip" to get the new version of Market.

I was reading in original development thread for Kyros 7015 that their might be some problems with the new version of Market. Would the Update Market problems be true for 2.1 version of Android as well?

I am using Kyros 7015 with Coby's update, gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip installed, and various apps installed by AppsLib, side loading, and Market.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi only unlocks some previously restricted apps in the market. We do not have the new version of the market running on this device yet.

Also, I believe I misspoke in my directions to use that file in the market process, a result of me copying an pasting from my other guide. I will fix this immediately.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lschroeder:
Since my Market is somewhat restricted, I could load MarketUpdateFroyoHdpi to my SDCard and install it from ClockworkMod to remove some of my restrictions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
Give it a shot (do a backup first), let me know how it turns out. However, I do believe that MarketUPdateFroyoHdpi only unlocked gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip to the same extent that gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip is already unlocked, so I doubt that it would do any good.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lschroeder:
I backuped my tablet to the SDcard using ClockworkMod yesterday. No major changes made since then. I only used it to surf web and play music and videos.

In case something goes wrong. I have never recovered from a backup of the my tablet before. I assume that their is an option to recover from the backup folder created by ClockworkMod. I assume some data from my use would be lost, but nothing meaningful to me. Is that correct?

A couple more questions. Is the major difference between gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip and gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip that the later has Market unlocked and has addtional applications as well as applications that do not work on our Kyros 7015? Thus using gapps-mdpi-tiny-20101020-signed.zip and MarketUPdateFroyoHdpi,zip would give a cleaner but more complicated install for 2.1.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
A backup will backup everything, even your cache.

I have noticed no differrence between the different installations, I just go with what works-- gapps-passion-EPE54B-signed.zip works with 2.1.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tpace75:
No I still have clockwork recovery but I lost root. I just rerooted with z4root.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
Thanks for confirming that.

3. Installing ClockworkMod. You must complete this step even if you already had ClockworkMod installed, as the update.zip has replaced it with the stock recovery. If you have not already, install Android SDKto your PC, so you will be able to issue ADB commands. Download ClockwordMod. Open the ZIP file and extract the IMG. For simplicity, rename the IMG file "recovery.img" and place on your SDcard. From ADB,issue the following commands:

Code:

adb remount

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

adb shell

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

I really don't know how to use this ADB. From my computer, from Coby or?

Please help me!

Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
You will need to install the Androik SDK on your computer-- extract the files to your desktop for simplicity. Then connect your tablet to your PC via USB cable. On your PC, open a command prompt window and enter the following commands:

cd desktop
cd tools
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Backup

Thank you for posting these instructions.

I am sorry to say I am stuck on #1. Can you please explain how to "Reboot into recovery and make a backup". I don't see a backup option. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
Good point, you can reboot into recovery but you likely can't make a backup without having clockworkmod installed.

Here is what we will do:

Hold down the Back Button (on the front) and then use the stylus to momentarily press the reset button (on the back). Keep holding the back button until you see the recovery screen. Don't worry about the backup, just install zip from card.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] niki2008:
OK thanks.

Would I do the backup after the "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" command?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
That would be a good idea. Once you flash, boot into recovery the same way as before, but this time it will be clockworkmod (green writing on black background) and you will have more options.

I would also recommend doing a backup upon completion of the entire project, so you will always have a finished version on your SDcard. If something were to happen at a later date, you would only be a restore away from being back up and running.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hayted7:
I was install the Android SDK - and now I have a folder:

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows

Please give me the instructions for use it.

Thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb remount
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hayted7:
OK, in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows,

when I enter adb remount,

I have a message:

error: device not found

May be, when connect my Coby to my computer, I must choise from

- USB connected(Internal)

- USB debugging connected

- USB connected(External)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
Actually, when you installed SDK you should have installed opted to install the drivers so windows can recognize your android device.

I can't remember when I had the stock 2.1 (+ Gapps), was youtube showing videos ? In the CyanogenMod version it's not working and can't remember in 2.1

thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
Stock (even before gapps) this showed youtube videos, this was one of the selling points.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Thanks for the reply. I think I'll restore my Nandroid backup to have 2.1. Are you able to view youtube videos in CyanogenMod's version or I'm the only that doesn't work ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
I am unable to view video, as the video is one of the big hurdles yet to be conquered. I have a backup of Eclair that I switch to when I want to run video.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
Wow, you are motivated! I don't how you can live without videos :)

Since it's my wife's christmas gift, I have no choice than restore to 2.1 or she might not like so much her tablet. Thanks for the quick answers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
My use of the video settings on this device is simply to load it with AVIs to take to someone else's house, since I don't use DVD's.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
I restored my Eclair backup and now youtube is working fine. I was also able to install the latest market app. Unfortunately, I can't install the new Gmail nor the new youtube but I don't care that much since the version I have are working fine.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] hayted7:

adb

Hi. I've done all things step by step , but when i typing "adb remount, shell or whatever" i always got phrase:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

what is my next step. (I'm very new to android):confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] adamdietrick:
The error message you are receiving means that adb is not present. Did you download the and install the ADK? (step 3)

Are you in the right directory? Do a search for adb.exe and find out where it is locations. Then, before typing your other comands into the command prompt, type:

cd <then insert full name of the directory>

example:

cd c:\users\thisguy\desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janmic:
if it is the new r8 sdk it will be in ...\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

Can anyone tell me how to install the stock calendar and contacts apps. Installing the market did give some of the stock apps like goggles (worthless for the kyros).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janmic:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tmatrix07:
hi,

i installed Android SDK but don't see 'usb_driver' folder made in android-sdk-windows folder.. does this mean there was a problem during the installation? (actually the download link gave me 'android-sdk_r08-windows.zip' instead of r07.. and that's what i used..)

and another thing, i rooted my kyros using z4root and and it rebooted. but find my tablet is now alot slow. is this normal? of course i haven't compeleted the whole root process yet though..

thank you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janmic:
I have quoted stone99's post for you. It contains a link to his usd-driver folder. Just download it and insert it in the android-sdk-windows folder.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] btv333:
now i've got the error:device not found

I can see the tablet in device manager but as "android phone".

I stopped here
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] janmic:
anyone knows if the "10meg hack" will work on the kyros (7015)? It think that it would be good to free up some ram.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ipadguy:
after copying the recovery.img file to your SD card with your computer, make sure to safely remove SD card. then insert SD card into Kyros 7015 before typing the commands below into command prompt "cmd.exe"

hope this helps

I hope someone can help me I'm so lost. First I tried to update the fireware off the Coby site and got this message:assert failed:!lees_than_int(1290686740.getprop("ro.build.date.utc))

E.Error in/sd card/update.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.

Now I try to use the AppsLib and I get this message: A Server error occured, please retry.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] straybits:
From the error message, I can assume it is failing on the "date" check. Basically, update script thinks your firmware is later version than one on the update.zip.

I believe there are two ways to go around it. Modify build.prop and make ro.build.date.utc large enough number, or remove this assert from the installation script.

Not sure about AppsLib issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] stoned99:
You probably already have the latest version. My Coby tablet already came pre-installed with 2.1-update 1 from November 25th. Go in settings, about, software information (sorry I don't have the tablet with me so I go by heart) and see if you have this version. If you do, then you don't need to do the update. Just so you know I bought mine around December 10-15th from Dell
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rbgotee784:
Look for the updated clockwork thread. There is an updated recovery.img in there that will let you flash the new update.zip. the zip will wipe all data and installed programs though. And with appslib they have been having server issues since Dec. One reason why I rooted mine
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dmiller_40:
I am on the latest firmware 2.1 update1, I am rooted, have clockwork installed, and google market installed.

I read somewhere that the firmware update would fix the gsenor in raging thunder, but I am still unable to play the game. The sensors act as if the game is in portrait mode instead of landscape mode.

Does anyone know a fix for this or has it not been addressed yet?

thanks

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Muttz:
Something has gone VERY wrong!

Something isn't working for me.

I updated to the latest Coby update and rooted. I then tried to do the Clockword mod.

I copied the file to my SD card. Then, I did a copy/paste with the code into the command window. It looked like it worked. There were no error messages.

I tried to reboot into recovery mode and all I got was the image of some kind of rodent. I'm not sure what it was, lol, he was wearing a mask. I had to use the reset button on the back to get out of this.

I tried a second time. I let go of the two buttons when I saw the rodent and for some reason I hit the two buttons again. This time the Clockword mod menu popped up, but it was frozen. I had to reset to get out.

I hope that I have used the correct file. I have the 7015 and I used telechips_HSG-X5A_cw2.5.1.0 from October 19.

I'm not bricked. I can reboot into the tablet and use it. I just can't get into the recovery menu. This is my second tablet, so I'm not a total noob, but it's only my second day with this particular tablet.

Anyone know how I can fix this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Muttz:
Never mind

It was the wrong file. I found one on another forum and all is good now.

For future reference, is this tablet an x5a clone? I'd like to try a custom rom, but I want to make sure that I'm getting the right one.

Thanks.

I want to go back to factory spec... including removing Clockwork to see what I need/dont need to tinker with. I however, did not back up my original recovery image...

anyone want to show me some love? hahaha

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pdug:
Has anyone else here had the problem of their kyros waking randomly? I have done some fiddling around and realised it only happens after i install gapps. I have wiped cache and dalvec. I have reset my kyros a few times now, to start from scratch and I mean a complete wipe. It only does the random wake thing after I install the gapps. I know other people are having this problem and am wondering if another version of gapps would make a difference. If anyone in this thread has resolved this problem I would greatly appreciate any clear direction to go from here.

For now I am leaving it rooted with clockwork and pushing the apps I want through adb, but it sure would be nice to have a market that didn't destroy my battery by turning on the screen every 20secs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
More specifically than just after installing gapps, mine seems to start waking after the market updates itself to the new version, but I'm not totally positive of that.

After installing gapps, it doesn't self-wake for the first few minutes. When it does start waking, the new market is installed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] :
This has been a fairly common, yet unresolved issue for folks using the Pandigital Novel as well (also eclair). Over on SlateDroid, you will find many references to sleep related problems and random wakings / dim screens when using custom firmwares that include Market and Google Apps.

Some have suggested that renaming/removing the Cell Standby related APKs (Mms.apk, Phone.apk, TelephonyProvider.apk), as described here for the Nook Color may help:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=887957

I certainly hope this can be resolved, as this was my biggest frustration with the PDN - every time I went to use it, it was unexpectedly dead because overnight it had randomly turned itself on and drained the battery. Most folks seem to be trying task managers to automatically kill all non-essential tasks whenever the screen is turned off, but nobody seems to have any solid answers as to the root cause.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] seahurst:
This has proven to solve the wake up problem for myself and some others. Give it a try and see if it heps:

Either kill these apps using Advanced Task Killer or uninstall one of them (in my case, Amazon MP3 was uninstalled)

AppsLib + Amazon Mp3 + Voice Search

Hope that helps,

Seahurst
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
I also did what seahurst mentioned and it seems to have helped.

Here's what I did:

Deleted Amazon Mp3 via Titanium Backup

Disabled Appslib via #pm disable com.appslib.vending

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

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

I've seen it wake a few time unexplainably, but not every 20 seconds like before. After fully charging it and leaving it overnight (16hrs), the battery is still only around 50%... which is pretty lame.....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] digidad:
When it unexpectedly comes on, does it stay on with a dim screen until you turn it off? Does it behave the same way with the official ROM or only once the Google Apps / Market are installed?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 4n6days:
It wakes up as if you had pressed the power button (regular brightness - not dim). Then it stays on for about 5 seconds and shuts off.

This is a video from when I had just rooted it, but the behavior is the same, though it does it less.

Hi,

I have a problem with my Coby.

I want to install the original firmware to my Coby.

But I was make something wrong, and now I can't update the firmware (Power + Return buttons don,t work, when I pushed both 2 buttons in start and hold him, the Android warning triangle don't start and I don't have access to Android system recovery).

Please help me to install the original firmware using SDK, it,s work.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NicOfTime:
In the instructions above, it says:

"...Use File Manager to navigate to the z4root APK (it's in the /sdcard folder) and click to run."

Where does the File Manager come from? Is it supposed to be part of the OEM apps that come with the device? Is it supposed to be part of the sdcard:update.zip? When I did the sdcard:update.zip (which the device said that I did "successfully"), there was no File Manager created on my device. I don't have one (that I know of) on my device...and I have gone through all the apps repeatedly. Is it buried in a menu somewhere?

Thanks...
