Hypothetical...

There is a mod out there called AlienDroidV2.0.zip that I used on another Coby Mid1042...exact same device....I'm wondering if I could load that image with the stock recovery if I had a signed copy?

flash the cw recovery then with it you should be able to flash AlienDroidV2.0.zip.

Attempting....will report back if the CW install is successful.

Ok, hopefully all goes well.

I'm an idiot...I think I just found the problem....reattempting your first fix.

(by default, when I use USB to transfer files, it drops it in /sdcard and not /mnt/extsd which is the actual SD Card. I transferred it direct to the SD the first time and used the USB each update)

Success!!
