You didn't copy flash_image to /sdcard. Redo that step. Or you could just try the watery kyros update.zip. it will do all this for you.

Thank you, JrSharp21.
Your instructions were very clear and I was able to open up the world of 'google apps' without any trouble.
Peace,
Andre

Goole voice > settings > sync and notifications FCs on me.
Anyone else?

Its a small price to pay though for this solid ROM.

Ok, I am not new to computers and I almodt rooted my phone, but this is just not working on my 7015 device. Every time I attempt this, it will not reboot into recovery. Also, at the terminal emulator it says flash_image not found. I know its there because I saw it file manager.

I am ready to return it and get an Archos 70 or 101.

Anybody have any tips for me? Also, what is the benefit of clearing the "nand" memory?

Do you see the flash_image on your sd card or in your system/bin?

Ok, I got this to work and installed Google app marketplace. My cheapo Coby is now like my Droid phone and I didn't have to buy an Archos.

Thanks for the step by step, easy to follow instructions. I did have a hitch on step 15 # chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image - # chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
When i typed in the # chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image i received the message "cannot chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image path does not exist" (or something close to that.)
I used your write up along with 'ALTERNATE (NEWBIE-FRIENDLY) GUIDE FOR ROOTING AND GOOGLE MARKET INSTALL ON WINDOWS - NO SPECIAL DRIVERS OR ADB COMMANDS NEEDED'. both are well written and I made it through.

This does not work for me. HELP

Type the following code (note: the #'s do not need to be entered by you. It will be given on each line).

# cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image
# chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image

What error are you getting? Double check to make sure you have all the correct spaces in there.

Successfully rooted kyros but having a couple of issues. Forgive me if this question has already been answered. I am having a problem loading widgets, every time I try I get this message "Sorry, the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". The other problem is when using the WeatherBug app it seems to think that My Location is Florida, South Africa? I live in TN. I can add my loation but it will not let me change it to My Location or delete the South Africa location. This messes with the radar. If any one can please help, I would appreciate it.
