Requesting Firmware Dumps from Coby Generation 3 Devices

[RedDeer]

The uploader said the file was too large ( 104.26 MB ) system.tgz

DOWNLOAD LINK HERE: MID9742-system.tgz , 104.26 MB
http://www.tempfiles.net/download/201205/241647/MID9742-system.html
(file erased afer on hour)

-------------------------------------------------
I thought I already had the proper drivers.
The PDAnet Driver would not install (wouldn't recognize my phone/device)
PDAnet Driver download: http://topnotchtablets.com/installADBdriver

I had to follow the troubleshooting instructions at http://junefabrics.com/android/driver.php
(Basically, I had to first install the LG, Samsung and Motorolla Drivers first. )

Then I Restarted my computer. Then successfully installed the PDAnet Driver.
Pluged in USB cable, went to Settings, Development, USB Debugging checked. Ran the dump.bat. Script ran successfully (2-3 minutes)
Dropped the system.tgz file in the same folder as the dump.bat file.
.

Thanks, downloading...

The offsets for the 9742 are exactly the same as the 7042.

Can you do a full dump with the script here?

I just need the .img files this time, you can skip system.tgz since I already have it.

@steev
Are you asking me to download the fw_dump2.zip file and run the .bat file?

`I tried and that process failed.

Sorry, you must run the root.bat script here first, then run the fw_dump2 script afterwards.

@steev

OK here are the recovery.img / boot.img / bootloader.img / for the MID9742 (Dump Image Files MID9742.zip) (9MB)

--Tempfiles.net : Download -> Dump-Image-Files-MID9742.zip--

Tempfiles.net : Download -> Dump-Image-Files-MID9742.zip

 

[steev]

Got it, thanks.
That should be everything for the 9742

and here was the results from that root checker apk
I rebooted it a few times (since I rooted it)

root check

busybox check

@Joe88
When you run the Root Exporer App, (downloaded from 1moblie.com)
Look at the Top left corner.
Do you see both R/o AND r/w ... OR do you only see R/O ?

Please, always mention your tablet name.
People viewing this thread have different tablets. So mentioning the name would be helpful.
Thanks

 

[steev]

root checker is incorrect there.

Setuid attribute and root user ownership are present, but permission to execute as a non-root user is not present
Correct permissions for root access should be -rwsr-sr-x root root

Coby put a line that basically disables root in /init.sun4i.rc:

chmod 6750 /system/xbin/su

Btw I have removed this line in the restore firmware, so it should be fully rooted.

We are ready for testing. Can't wait to get gapps. Thats really the only thing that I haven't been able to install.

only r/o (there is a button next to it that says mount r/w but it doesnt do anything)
I tried to delete a file off the sd card and it didnt work

the tablet name was mentioned at the bottom in the second pic, I couldnt fit it in the first pic

 

[RedDeer]

@Joe .... the Highlighted part is just a switch.
when it reads r/o on the right and R/W on the left HIGHTED > Tap on the HILIGHTED R/W (does the HIGHLIGHTED Turn to r/o
When you tap the highlight does it change from: r/o TO R/W ? R/W TO r/o ????

 

[davidmatt34]

Well this is interesting. on my 7042 I have ran coby_root3 from previous post. I had to reboot because I was trynig to install IceCreamSandwich-4.0.3-Google-Play-Script from another post that I found. I have root explorer inatalled and tried from / to change from r/0 to r/w. It failed. I launched SuperSU and it tells me that it needs to be updated. I allowed and then went back to the root explorer and was able to change root explorer to r/w.

 

[Joe88]

doesnt change at all
it stays mounted as r/o
