Looking for Help Rooting Coby MID9740

This dump seems fine, My Linux found no corruption in the tar.

This dump seems fine, My Linux found no corruption in the tar.

What would it take to use this dump as a reference to get cwm-recovery fully working for 9740-8 devices?

Thanks jmblouin.

I downloaded your dump, and indeed things were very different than on my own, which only had app folder under system and nothing else. I have now created another system dump which does contain all the bin, etc, .... folders. you may find it here (please use this entire dump and do not mix the img files with the previous one, since in the meantime I did a factory reset to the tablet, so things may be a bit different between the two)
9740_dump.rar

Yes, I did have an superuser application. and the strange thing is that also even after my factory reset I still get a superuser app straight away (!!). Is it possible?

let me know if this dump contains all the information you need. If not, I will try copying and pasting all the info I can get from adb (please be specfic about what info you need).

I'll wait for your answer before trying anything else.

If we get a version of cwm-recovery for our devices than you can make a nandroid backup, flash gapps to your device and I can try making a build.prop based off of your dump and travellers tweaks. This is in my opinion easier. Otherwise we could manually push gapps with adb. I am not familiar on how to do it this way so you would need assistant from vampirefo. for this one.

My guess the recovery is the same as 8042 and 9742. I see no difference in the dump.

What problems are you having with the 9742 recovery?

[jmblouin]

My guess the recovery is the same as 8042 and 9742. I see no difference in the dump.

I cannot access the internal sdcard with this version or boot into recovery with the physical buttons.

The devices might be setup like a 7042 and 9042. I guess I could try to the recovery from 9042 and see if it works.

Here you go.

9740_v6.0.1.1_recovery.zip

How to get these files to your device:

unzip the file to where you have adb at

adb push install-recovery.sh /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh

adb push CW_recovery.img /data/local/tmp/CW_recovery.img

adb shell

su

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

exit

exit

adb push reboot-recovery /system/bin/reboot-recovery

adb shell

su

chmod 755 /system/bin/reboot-recovery

chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh

/data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh

/system/bin/reboot-recovery

your device should now reboot into cwm-recovery.

to navigate use the volume up and down, power to select, back to go back

navigate to backup and restore and perform a backup

reboot the tablet.

now go to this link and download gapps and put it onto your sd card

20120429

open up adb

adb shell

su

reboot-recovery

You should now be back into cwm-recovery.

Navigate to install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and select your gapps zip and install it, now reboot your device once its finished. You should now have gapps, but you will be limited to the apps you can download until we get your build.prop updated to fool the market into thinking you have a compatible device.

now go back to adb
adb shell
su
reboot-recovery
do another backup if everything is working right.

vampirefo. If I wanted to modify the system.tgz to have usb debugging on could I do that through the build.prop and if so where and how?

guys, that worked like a charm!! everything is install and seems to be working fine. I got a fresh backup after install gapps.

is it possible to get google play going?

thanks so much in advance for your great help!

Do you see google play in your app drawer?

If not backup to a backup prior to installing gapps, reboot to confirm that the tablet is still functional. Than go back to cwm-recovery flash the gapps zip once again, than go back and go to advance and click report error. Reboot the tablet. There should now be a file in your clockworkmod folder on your sd card called recovery.log. turn on usb storage and view that log file with wordpad and copy the data to the forum so that we can look at it.

This is what I get when I attempt to flash gapps.

I havent figured out a solution for this yet....

If you are just talking about "device not compatible" message in google play, I havent had a chance to work on the build.prop yet since I am working on other issues with the tablet first.
