Coby 7015A rooting and gmarket
I am a newbie to this, got mine on Friday, decided to root and add the market, I have followed your instructions step by step and all goes well until #16 reboot recovery, I do that and it reboots to the first Coby screen and just stops, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, I end up having to hit the reset button, it says it's rooted and I have SU rights to terminal Emulator, but everytime I do this it just hangs, what am I doing wrong, I have all the files stated on the sd card, I just can't get past that screen, any help would be great, I really like this little device, just got one for my girlfriend and want to do the same for her, she loves what it does even without the update. I just need some help, I have been through every thread on this and I'm lost at this point.
Thanks for anything you can come up with for me.
Rooting and Google Marketplace using update to 7015A....step by step process
15. Type the following code (note: the #'s do not need to be entered by you. It will be given on each line).
# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
# chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
This code is moving the flash_image from your sdcard to the system/bin on the Kyros.
16. Now type in the following code.
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# reboot recovery
17. The tablet will now reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery mode. I have followed every step, several times, unrooting, rebooting, rooting and then repeating the above steps, I have downloaded all the files again, just in case they were bad in some way, and repeated the steps again with the same results, it reboots after reboot recovery, then all I get is the black Coby boot screen and it just freezes, I let it run for 30 minutes, just in case it takes awhile, but it never changes and I have to do a reset and it boots back up fine and everything works, but I can’t get it to go into clockworkmod to install the market, just what am I missing? I go back in and look at the files with AndExplorer, system, bin, flash_image 9.4 KB 3/25/11, so it did flash the file, so what am I doing wrong for this not to boot to clockworkmod? I can’t see where I’m going wrong. Thanks for any help anyone can give me; I’m just at my wits end with this process.
