Just wanted to let everyone know that there is a way to get ICS on your 7022. I read in a thread on here where a guy posted that he had it so I had to figure it out. I can't find it right now to give him credit. I am not sure if you need to be stock firmware for this. I put mine back to stock using the stock backup found on these forums. Then I went to Consumer Entertainment Products for Home, Office or On the Go! | COBY and downloaded the update apk. Yes it is coby's German site. Install the apk and run it. It will ask for your serial number. I don't have mine as that sticker rubbed off a long time ago. So I watched the install video where you download the apk and copied the one off their device in the video. It said it had already been used so I changed the last number by 1. It worked. The apk downloaded the update and installed it. ICS is running pretty good so far. Its only been a half hour. When it does boot up it will be in German but you can change it to English in the settings.I am still trying to figure out how to get root, CWM, and Play store on it. Not much hope as I am not good in those areas. Maybe someone else that is more knowledgeable can figure it out.
Edit:
Thanks to Filipicamo We now have a fully working flashable zip for ics. The following are instructions:
Do not reboot in between flashing files. If tablet reboots do not let it boot into system. If it boots into system before flashing the jcase file you will loose your recovery. To regain recovery you must follow instructions in post 3.
1. Download the following files and place on tablet sdcard. insert sdcard into tablet.
7022(0013)update- http://min.us/mJrqnZJi7
8127- http://depositfiles.com/files/1dyvov5r8 provided by mixone. (I am not able to test this. It may not work.)
wipe file- http://www.mediafire.com/?4olbwbaxe8ti4ra This was made by Leslieanne on Android Central
Root File- http://www.mediafire.com/?4dcgkevdiy63zp7 This was made by jcase on XDA and Jerryscript from android central.
Gapps- http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
2. Start 7022 in CWM Recovery.
3. Make a backup.
4. Through the install zip from sdcard file menu use the wipe file. This will wipe boot, data, system.
5. flash mid7022_ICS_Update.zip
6. Say yes. (You will get a random offset while running the zip. This is due to flashing an ICS rom through CWM Recovery. Here is more info on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362200 It is normal.)
7. Flash jcase rootme zip.
8. Flash gapps.
9. Now you haveICS, root, and play store and you are done.
You will need to change language. This can be done in the upper left when it first boots or in the settings. In settings it has an icon by a white square with the letter a in it. It will ask for a serial number to activate. I am not sure what is limited by this.
without Filipicamo this would not be possible. He is the one who found the update left on his system. I have added root and gapps. Also with superuser being installed on this it will leave your recovery intact. I have tested this on my tablet and it worked. As always nothing is guaranteed.
