You don't need to use the boot.img or custom rom, unless you want to, they are provided as is. the main thing is to install the recovery and use it to backup your tablet before making any other changes.
Also note I have no way to test anything I have made, I simply used the dump provided on this forum, if your 1042 is different the version I used, this custom rom might not work correctly for you.
Don't ask how to setup adb in this thread,no help will be provided for that.
Read through entire thread before trying this or before asking questions, I have limited time and wont answer questioned that have already been covered on this forum
What I will be covering in this thread is how to root, install recovery, install a modified boot.img, install a custom rom. all without using "livesuite"
you will need adb setup and working, I am a Linux user, don't want to use windows to modify my tablets.
Anyway lets begin.
download 1042_root_recovery.zip
1042_root_recovery.zip
extract to your desktop you should have a folder called data, and a text file root_recovery, it contains the following commands. type one command at a time allow each command to finish before typing next command.
The first command is simply coping the contents of the data folder to your tablet, the second command is asking for shell, third and fourth commands are setting permissions, fifth command is sending exploit, sixth command is asking for root permission, seventh command is installing recovery, eight command is booting into recovery.
open a terminal
adb push data /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/mempodroid
chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh
/data/local/tmp/mempodroid 0xd7cc 0xad27 sh /data/local/tmp/root.sh
su "Note at this point you can backup your system, recovery and boot.img, you don't have to but you might want to, see note 1 below."
/data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh
/system/bin/reboot-recovery
once in recovery
volume up and down to navigate power to execute. silver button is back.
at this time you should make a backup.
download 1042_boot.zip
1042_boot.zip
adb push 1042_boot.zip /sdcard
then use recovery to select install zip from sdcard and install it.
reboot
download 1042_update.zip
REMOVED.
place on sdcard
adb shell reboot-recovery
select install zip from sdcard and install it.

If there is anyone that I left out of the credits, please let me know so I can give you credit for any work that I might have borrowed.
Note 1 if you want to backup your recovery, boot.img and system before making changes run commands below.
adb shell
su
mkdir /sdcard/dump
cat /dev/block/nandc > /sdcard/dump/boot.img
cat /dev/block/nandg > /sdcard/dump/recovery.img
busybox tar -cvf /sdcard/dump/1042_system.tar /system
then use either adb pull to put them on your pc, or mount the tablet with the pc.
after recovery is installed
to get into recovery from normal mode download terminal from market
su
reboot-recovery
or from adb shell
reboot-recovery.
Latest recovery, below can be flashed from stock recovery.
