Creating a System Dump for Coby Kyros MID7034-4

[vampirefo.]

I got this tablet today and am going to root and install the play store. Are you saying you'd rather the tablet be backed up before installing gapps but after rooting? Or before rooting and installing gapps? As far as I have read, you need root to be able to back up partitions.

Root then backup, then you can install gapps.

I've been doing everything through an Ubuntu VirtualBox VM, which seemed to be getting the job done... But anyway, neither the bootloader nor the recovery come up on the ADB devices list.

It's been a while, however, I've gotten the Windows drivers to work now.

When booting my Coby Kyros 7034 into fastboot, it looks like the screen is frozen on the Coby logo and you receive no instructions/options. ("adb reboot bootloader")
On my computer, a Windows 7 Ult., fastboot lists the device as a question mark, but the device still responds to commands from fastboot. (At least "fastboot reboot")

Instead of the provided USB connector, I'm using a Kindle connector (I can't find the original).

I'm willing to have another go at installing a custom recovery.
