I just rooted my Coby Kyros mid1042 rooted with google play store v3.10.10. It took me some time but it is better now, that I have play store. I made a quick step by step. The rooting was easy, but the play store took me some time.
I used these programs for rooting you can find most of them, but I will post at a later time.
SuperOneClickv2.3.3
unlockroot23-eng
Files needed Superuser.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, OneTimeInitializer.apk,SetupWizard.apk, and Vending.apk, which was renamed from play store v3.10.10
You will need "ES File Manager" installed
First, I reset coby mid1042, then hooked up wi-fi,
To start, go to Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging and hook up cable to your computer. I then started SuperOneClick 2.3.3, and click the Advance tab on top, then clickcheck driver, if you need to load the driver, then go back to the general tab and click root. If it stops or freezes at step 7, that is ok, just force close the program and open unlockroot23-eng and it will finish the job. Once unlockroot23-eng open (NOTE:you could get a script error, just clickoutt of it) click root and it should find your tablet. A box "Choose a connection device" will pop up click your device. (NOTE: if you have rooted before pop ups will come up, just choose root again). It will ask you to load other apps, you pick, for i said no to all, then it will ask you to reboot, click yes and you are rooted.
You need to make sure Superuser is installed on the tablet,if not, then you will need to install the Superuser.apk. With your cable connected go to tablet and click the clock and click "usb connected tab", and click "turn on USB storage", and ok. Go to computer, On computer a pop-up will show, click"open folder to view files". Open the Download folder and copySuperuser.apk to it, if you want Google play now is a good time to put those files in as well. I put the whole file in it, named "Android Market on cobymid1042", with GoogleServicesFramework.apk, OneTimeInitializer.apk, SetupWizard.apk,and Vending.apk inside of it. (NOTE: Vending.apk is Google play.apk v3.10.10) .Onceyou are done go to coby turn off usb storage and click out of it (home),now go to apps open "Es File Explorer" and check for updates and update it if needed,once done reopen and it will open in /sdcard/, click download and click Superuser.apk and load it. once done go back to apps a check to see if it is loaded and turn off tablet and restart it. Once rebooted open "Es File Explorer" and open settings, scroll down, then open "Root Settings". Make sure you everything is checked, Check ROOTEXPLORER choose yes and allow for superuser, Check the UP TO ROOT, and check the MOUNT FILESYSTEM. All should be checked, if you want to get Google play. Once done go back,to get out of settings, you should now be in /sccard/again, now hit the backbutton one more time and you should be in the root of your tablet. (NOTE: if you see a file named system then you are in the root dir.)
This will get Google play Market on coby mid1042,open"Es File Explorer" you need togo to /sdcard/download/Android Market on coby mid1042/ or where you place those files. Load the three droid apks in this order, OneTimeInitializer, SetupWizard,then GoogleServicesFramework. (NOTE: make sure they install successfully ). You will need to copy the Vending.apk, (NOTE: find "play store v3.10.10" and rename it Vending.apk ) once copied hit the back button 3 times to get to root and click system, click app, youshould be in /system/app/ now past Vending.apk and scroll down to make sure yousee it, now shut down and reboot. When you reboot you will be asked to start with two options Launcher or Setup Wizard, you want to pick Launcher, but make sure you check mark "Use by default for this action". Make sure wi-fi is on and go to APPS open Google play it should ask you for you GMAIL account, try to login, if you could not login reboot and it will let you. You are done!
