Just pick up a MID7015 from Frys yesterday. Want to root but can’t apply the firmware upgrade from the Coby website as suggest, prior to rooting. Tried downloading and transferring the zip update file on two different computers (XP & Windows 7 32bit) and used two different micro sd cards (2 & 16MB). I keep getting the same errors.

Perhaps, my unit came pre-installed with the newest update?
Out of the box: Build number MID7015 1.6a_20101129-1
Tried Raging Thunder steering test, tilt is working correctly.


Installation Errors:
Verifying update package…
Installing update…
Assert failed: !less_than_int (1290686740, getprop(“ro.build.dat e.utc”))
E:Error in /sdard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted

My firmware info:

Model number
MID7015

Firmware version
2.1-update1

Kernel version
2.6.29 Root android 2.1

Build number
MID7015 1.6a_20101129-1

Thanks for confirming it that it was up to date. The error/fail notice has me somewhat concern. I surprise that it has not been mentioned in this forum before. I Hope the rooting and the Google installs go without a hitch.

Now, we are all probably wondering just was has been changed since since the update (1.6a_20101124-3) that is posted on Coby's website.

It looks like there will be several different batches floating around out there.

I ordered my kyros 7015 on 1/12 from amazon, and it has the build number at:

1.6a_20101124-3

So this means, if I am correct, that I don't have to apply the update from the website, but I also don't have this even newer version that others have said they have picked up.

Would you all agree?

Just wanted to throw that out there.

Yes, that's correct.

No one knows if the latest will ever become available for the 7015 although I would think so if there's significant improvements/bug fixes.

Mine arrived yesterday with update 1installed, works great out of the box! Have to buy a micro SD card with the adapter before I can continue screwing it up: )
