Requesting Firmware Dumps from Coby Generation 3 Devices

[davidmatt34]

That would be great. I will wait for that then..

Windows XP 32-bit. Ran perfectly. No touchscreen issues as David mentioned. I'm running it now. All seems well. Running the script you mentioned for Play. Will post back when I see if it works.

Thanks for testing, glad it works.

Can I get some more dumps from 7042 users running stock firmware?
I actually don't need the full dump, just bootloader.img.

I want to check if there are any hardware differences.

Can I get that from my wifes without rooting? I bought her one at the same time I bought mine.

Not without rooting.

I'm uploading a 7042 firmware that uses the other touchscreen driver now, so let's see if that works first.

Can someone post a gapps/google play for dummies for the 7042?., and anyone figure out a fix for the sdcard issue?

 

[davidmatt34]

Trying now. I'll let you know..

 

[davidmatt34]

Bummed....Still the same. Flashed twice. Factory reset and reboot. No joy..

 

[davidmatt34]

Any chance of getting the stock image to try and see if that works?

Thank david I will look at it.

I've also sent emails to Coby asking them to post the official firmware download for the MID7042 and other MIDxx42 tablets.
They did post downloads for the 2nd Gen tablets, so hopefully they will again.
