Make changes to your build.prop or you can just use my build.prop.
Requesting Firmware Dumps from Coby Generation 3 Devices

Wont work.. Maybe something with permissions? But, besides, I see that the Rom only leaves around 1.75MB for System... I think that'll be a pro... Oh! And.. If I can manage to get my System DUMP to my tablet though CWM can I erase all the wrong done by livesuit..?

No that's not what cwm recovery is for, it can't fix any damage done via livesuite. However if this is image is really from coby, nothing would need to fixed. If you flash a 100% coby image you end up with a 100 % coby.

I took the image a part, I have my doubts this rom is from coby. If it works for you that's great.

http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...t/40568-9742-mbr-problems-such-post-here.html may help you, but it may not. There are at least tlhree different 9742 units out there. I hope you read stuff on this forum, especially how to back up your original ROM.
Is anybody able to link to steev post on page 13 (post 123) about missing Google play apps? Either I'm too new to be able to download the xml.zip files or something has gone wrong with the site? I just got my 7042 up and running but a lot of apps are missing in Google play.
I asked Coby's tech support to see if they could help with my 1042-8 and they gave me the three files below to try. I can now boot up the tablet but the screen calibration is off and if I touch in one spot it responds in another. It works if I plug in the mouse but that defeats the purpose of the tablet. Maybe someone could take a look at these files and get a working image so the calibration is correct.sun4i_crane_mid1042_120701(8GB)V1.img - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download - Mike Hard

View attachment $bootloader.zip This is the the latest from the Coby 9742. Fresh off the production line...
I can only post the bootloader because the forum says the boot.img and recovery.img are too big..yet it doesnt tell me the limit.

Thanks everyone for all your efforts with the Coby tablets. I've learned a lot reading this thread.
I have a new Coby MID9042 that I would like to do a ROM dump on before I risk bricking it and to share with the community.
Most of the scripts I've seen here are for folks running some version of Windows. I have Debian on my PC with ADB up and running.
I see the tablet using "adb devices" but do not yet have it rooted. I'm not new to Linux but I've never done anything with Android before.
Can someone post the sequence of commands I need to root the tablet and get the ROM dump?

I took a look at that thread and got up to the "You might want to make a backup..."
So here is the dump for a MID9042

boot.img - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download - Mark Walter
recovery.img - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download - Mark Walter
I'll need someone's help (someone who understands this much better than I do) to modify the image to one that is rooted and has Play Store.

Traveller1701, or Steev, ar anyone else with the know-how,
Could you please give us an overview of what needs to be done to the ROM image to root one of these Coby tablets?
Would it be similar to exacting a .config file from a compiled linux kernel, reconfiguring some of the compile options, and then recompiling it?
It would be great to learn about what is being changed in the ROM for rooting, enabling Play Store, etc.
Any recommended references where someone could learn more of the details and intracacies of this?
