Coby Kyros MID9042 Stock ROM

[kahrloz]

I finally compiled the ROM to be flashed through recovery, if you don't like Livesuit.

I forgot to sign it, so the only way to flash it is through CWM.

Livesuite should only be used as last resort, unless the image is built for that device.

Nice work. Is it possible to sign an update.zip to flash from stock recovery ?

Yes it's possible just not really smart to do that though, if you are talking about full rom, it's foolish to do it, but yes can be done.

 

[kahrloz]

yes I've done that, when i had the stock recovery.... let me upload the signing tools, or remember where i got them from.

there you go http://www.4shared.com/zip/UZ-aEeKk/signing-tools.html

instructions are in the zip folder...

showing off that recovery signed zip,
i feel bad for uploading my ROM unsigned, but my internet is too slow to upload the ROM again...

ps. why are there two updater scripts in your recovery?

Will this flash from stock recovery ? Flashing cwm from stock recovery could be a big help to fixing bootlooping tablets.

Any hint on how to install this Stock Rom?
I also have a MID9042 which is on the loop to boot forever!
Thanks in advance

Edit 1 :
I can install this file :
9042_recovery_signed
with this result :
--Install /sdcard
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Installing update
[ ] Updating BOOT
[*] Complete!
Install from sdcard complete

Now how can I install this :
9042 - Download - 4shared - kahrloz paz

It gives an error about permision when I want to install it

I think I need to sign it with this tool :
signing-tools

But this tool also gives an error about java :
D:\COBY MID9042\signing>java -Xmx1024m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 FILE.zip FILE-signed.zip
'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

What should I do next?

Edit 2 :
I found out how to sign a package, I just needed to install "Java SE Runtime Environment 7"
So I signed this :
9042 - Download - 4shared - kahrloz paz
With this tool :
signing-tools
By using this command :
java -Xmx1024m -jar signapk.jar -w testkey.x509.pem testkey.pk8 9042_Stock.zip 9042_Stock_signed.zip
Then I installed 9042_Stock_signed.zip from sdcard and here is the result :
-- Install /sdcard
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package

[*] Completed!
Install from sdcard complete

Now it just gets stuck at COBY logo though I can enter the recovery menu by holding power and "+" for about 15 second.

Edit 3 :
It seems that I couldn't install 9042_recovery_signed at all!!!!!!
The installation from sdcard goes well but "ClockworkMod recovery" doesn't show up after that.
Or maybe the key combination to enter that menu is different than "Android system recovery <3e>"!?

Edit 4 :
It seems that using LiveSuit is my last option but it needs a working imb file
I found it in this thread but I can't see the download link :
Bricked Coby MID 9042-8 - ROM Needed

Edit 5 :
I found this : sun4i_crane_mid9042_120701_v2.img
It seems it works fine :
HELP Coby 9042 stck in "white noise" screen
And here is how to use it :
Flash Firmware via Livesuit
But then again waiting a day or two for another solution never hurts as LiveSuit is somehow infamous!

 

[5arid]

No other suggestion?!

you can flash vampirefo's cwm recovery first, since he did signed it; and then flash my rom.

just go to "mount and storage" and format system, data, cache, and if you wish format sdcard too. then go back to main menu and select "install zip from sdcard" and select toggle signature verification" to disable it, and then flash the 9042 zip again.

Thanks for the reply but please notice my Edit 1 and Edit 3
The main problem is I can't bring up "ClockworkMod Recovery" menu at all, can you give me some hint?

Once again lets start from the beginning and see where my mistake is :
1. Shut Down Tablet
2. Press Power and "+" for 15 Second
3. A green android robot with a triangle exclamation appears
4. Release all buttons and again push "+" key to bring up "Android system recovery <3e>" menu
5. By pushing "-" go to "wipe data/factory reset" push "Power" button to select it
6. Go to "YES" and select it by pushing "Power" button
7. Download and insert 9042_recovery_signed into a micro SD card (mine is 256MB with FAT format)
8. Insert it into the tablet
9. Go to "apply update from external storage" and install "9042_recovery_signed.zip"
10. select "reboot system now"

From here I don't have any idea how to bring up "ClockworkMod Recovery" menu

Edit :
By the way I can't use this method, can I?
ClockworkMod Recovery, Google Apps and Custom ROMs
because I don't have a backup / not rooted / no access to enabling usb debug
I am really surprised that all of the sticky tutorials are for messing up with tablet but there is not any clear tutorial on how to pass boot loop problem which is very common.
