Can someone please post the new Coby's official firmware Kernel version and Build number (settings > about)?

In my MP824 it seems there is the same build as in the new Coby's official firmware, so I don't want to upgrade if true.

MP824 has THE SAME HARDWARE - even in the Settings > About > Model name is listed as MID8024. Mpman has only different logo startup pic and printed modelname on the case.

My MP824 info:

Android version:
2.2

Kernel version:
2.6.32.9
MID Serials #1563 Tue Apr 12 18:48:42 CST 2011 nand

Build number:
MID Serials 2.2 FRF91 20110412.140238

In the official new Coby's firmware in the file

..\MID8024\board.8024\utv210_root\system\build.prop

it says

ro.build.id=FRF91
ro.build.display.id=MID Serials 2.2 FRF91 20110412.140238
ro.build.version.incremental=eng.urbetter.20110412.140238
ro.build.version.sdk=8
ro.build.version.codename=REL
ro.build.version.release=2.2
ro.build.date=Tue Apr 12 14:02:58 CST 2011

so it seems like it is the same build, but the date in Mpman is even newer (obviously not time zone related)!

Any hints, please?

Thanx.

We have already tried the official website posted in the firmware and it is really the April, but I have on my 8024 firmware and the May numbers of Durga ... I think the fact that the firmware is uploaded as well now have the opportunity to rebuild his plate, and a guru have the opportunity to create their "own" the firmware!

Get me out of a doubt, my tablet in the box it says that your model is MID8024. From the device menu it says the model number is MID8020. My tablet is not the 8024? This version of firmware does not apply to him?

Weird, I haven't heard of a Kyros 8020. You may check with whoever sold it to you. Maybe it's not an original product?

Anyway, the firware in Coby's website is mainly meant for restore, it does't bring anything new (only maybe if you have an old version - check the OS build date - then it will add a few bug fixes), it's the same Android version as the original product (Froyo - 2.2).

hi i'm in doubt if install a new firmware for coby or not.
What type of bugs does fix this firmware?
Does it fix bug about accelerometer, becouse it doesnt work well on any type of apps, specialy on games some of this doesnt support coby kyros' accelerometer?
An example nfs hot pursuit work well except turn right/left via accelerometer...

Hi Jall, I just recived my mid 8020 yesterday, I also have a viewsonic g tab which I changed the rom on then the charger went.
will this firmware speed up this Coby?and fix the f/c are on the apps? also the keyboard is very unresponsive which is frustrating.
It apprears that I can root it and change the rom, is that a better option to fix these problem if so is there a step by step? what rom is the most stabile, and the easiest for a newbie
thanking you all in advance Jaye

Hi all used for about a week, piece of junk, model was not on Kyros website, could not load driver, keyboard out of sink, froze all the time, could not load apps. I returned it. Only info I could find on the 8020 was all in spanish.
Maybe it was just that one but I would think twice.

The COBY company has shutdown so I am not able to download the firmware from the Company's Link.

I would appreciate the ZIP file so I could install it on my Tablet COBY KYROS MID 8024.

Thank you so much to the Android users world.
