How To Root Generation 4 Tablets?

[Gumby68]

What would you need to help with the process as I have a 7065 that was in return for a cracked screen 7042? I tried rooting last night and trying now but it won't allow me to remove internal storage from PC. On Windows 8 shows up as MTP device and I am only able to remove that. Any ideas anybody?? System recovery has the usual items along with new ones: apply update from cache, wipe media partition and set efuse item. Tablet also has safe mode by pressing power then volume - button, recovery power and volume -+ button. Hope that helps

How long did it take you to get your replacement? my son's 7042 just committed suicide, so I will be sending in his 7042 under warranty, hopefully they will send me a 7065.

Took about 5 weeks. Are u able to anything with his tablet at all? Is it rooted

 

[vampirefo.]

I have not seen this tablet, I know nothing at all about it, if Coby sends me one, I will find a way to root it.

 

[Gumby68]

Didn't c who it was who replied lol. This model has bluetooth capabilities also. Coby is coming up in the world. Can anybody tell me what set efuse item is?

The big thing is Coby finally including the Play Store with their tablets.

 

[Gumby68]

I am glad that they finally came around with including the Play Store instead of the other app markets they were including with their tablets. The tablet is very good stock but could be user some tweaking though to make it better. If I knew what to look for and where to find it, I could help with this one.

Looks like 7035 output, try the :7035 root method.

 

[Gumby68]

Thing is getting adb to work properly. As I said earlier the only way to remove the internal storage is to remove the entire device from pc

 

[vampirefo.]

That sounds like a windows issue, not an adb issue.

 

[Gumby68]

I'm going to try on a different pc later

 

[acidburn23]

wow?! coby include's now the Play Store that's great ^_^

 

[Gumby68]

Tried on different pc with same results. Device not present when typed adb devices and tablet showed up as MTP device. I even removed devices using usbdview

 

[vampirefo.]

I am getting requests for root, recovery, roms for this device. I don't have this device, I don't know how to root it, nor do I have a recovery or roms for it. Unless Coby sends me one of these tablets, I will not be doing any work on this device.
