Rooting and Google Marketplace using update to 7015A....step by step process

[trikkenut]

Thank you so much jrsharp21 !

I ordered my Coby last week after viewing Phase3d's You Tube video. I received my tablet yesterday evening, but couldn't start playing with it. This morning I was going to try the Phase3d's video instructions, but decided to do a little more research before diving into something I know nothing about....rooting an android device. I was lucky enough to come across your post today after a couple hours reading on this forum and elsewhere on the net. Other than having the terminal emulator chash once, it all went pretty smooth. I can't wait to play some more tomorrow.

Double check to make sure your recovery.img file is not in any folder on your sd card. That could be one cause of this error.

Double check to make sure your recovery.img file is not in any folder on your sd card. That could be one cause of this error.

100% make sure you copied it over the the sd card and not put it in any folder or created a folder to put it in..

If your using windows click open My computer, then External storage coby (or what ever you see for the SDcard ). Once this opens just right click on an empty spot and paste the file to the root of the SD card....The root of the SD card is the first thing you see when you open the SDcard...

Make sure you type it exactly with the spaces right. Your image file may be corrupt on your sd card. Try to download it again and copy it over.

could someone write it out with the space spelled out i'm not sure if i am getting the spaces right

16. Now type in the following code.

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
# reboot recovery
Ok if you typed in this the spaces are
# flash_image(spacehere)recovery(spacehere)/sdcard/recovery.img
the space in between the # and the word Flash is already provided for you so don't if you did put a space here...

Ok so i was having so problems getting my back up to load... I loaded my first backup... In clockwork the screen that shows choose your zip fron sdcard, do you also see toggle signature verification... I reinstalled mine and it went thru.. I choose the toggle and it said enabled, i choose it again and it said disabled and i did it again to enable it... try this to see it works before you try to install the zip... If its enabled try Choose zip from sdcard and install

 

[jackrussell]

i tried to do it again and now it says error opening /sdcard/recovery.img no such file or directory

i have no idea what you are talking about toggle signature verification but maybe i am doing something wrong with the zip is it supposed to be extracted or not and which ones would have to be extracted

 

[sndplace]

sorry... When you load clockworkmod you should do a back up so if anything goes wrong you can always revert to the backup, the tablet will be restored to the day you did your backup...This is what i was referring to.. Did you do a backup after installing CWM?


When you try to install the zip... In part 17 it says The tablet will now reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery mode. In ClockworkMod Recovery you will use the home button to move between selections. Push the menu button will make your selection.

now you will go thru the menu and sellect what # 18 says
18. Select "install zip from sdcard"

after 18 on the screen where 19 says 19. Select "choose zip from sdcard" On this same screen before you choose the zip if you scroll down you will see where it says to toggle signature verification... If you see this you can try to toogle it by using the menu botton and once you do this you should get a message at the bottom wich should say enabled or desabled... makesure its enabled then continue with step 19..

it would not install from sd card

 

[jackrussell]

how do you backup

 

[jackrussell]

it won't do anything now I'm at a complete loss. if i would have known it was this much trouble i would have stayed away and waited and got a good tablet
