Post it as is. If it's a valid dump then I'll note that it has the Google apps included when I add it to the dump index.

System Dump for Coby Kyros MID7036 4.0.3 https://dl.dropbox.com/u/62591/CobyK...7036_4.0.3.zip

Finally gained root and have a much needed dump for the MID8048-4 .zip includes boot.img, recovery.img and system compressed in the tar.gz format. Had to manually dd as the dump script in utility pointed to nandc and nandg whereas /proc/mtd listed the images in mtd0 and mtd6 on my device.


#####sorry about the prior corrupt file i think something happened while uploading either way here is the new zip https://www.dropbox.com/s/u8rm6zvj58xce2h/dump8048.zip ..... check out on my end.

Yes I pointed this out already /proc/mtd I use cat rather dd same thing though, So these tablets are already kernel rooted? I suspect so.
Current dump script is for allwinner, your tablet is telechips.

just checked your dump, it's corrupt, did you check before upload? corrupt dumps are of no use, redo dump test and upload.

These files that are being uploaded here... do they contain user/app cache/data, e.g. gmail account names, passwords, financial app data, sms, call logs, etc.?
A typical nandroid backup would, and as such, should never be distributed publicly.

Ok I am in a very touchy, actually not touchy, situation. I ran into a major snag and lost recovery and boot ability. Trust me I tried everything. So I have a tablet with a dead touchscreen. I used livesuite with the img from the OP to get back up and running and that worked.... well sort of. I am not facing the fact that without a touch screen I have to use a mouse and that works, but the issue is that the tablet is constantly rebooting itself during the google setup which is stopping me from getting to the dev options to turn debugging on.

Is there any other way to get recovery on this tablet than through debugging?

How old is you 7042? I might have a solution for you.

Not a problem.

Dumps don't back up the app cache or data partitions and thus should never have that information.

Typical nandroid backups would have that information, however that also depends on when the backup was made. For example, I do offer my nandroid backup of the stock ROM from my 9742 on the forums. Considering that the nandroid backup was made immediately after installing ClockworkMod and knowing that I made no changes to settings whatsoever, it was very unlikely that there would be any personal data of mine in the backup. Thus, I thought it safe to release.
