Only because I haven't seen anyone posting button holds on boot-up... I just figured out how to force a system upgrade on the MID7024.
01.) Turn the device completely off.
02.) Press and Hold the round-silver Home button and the Power button until you see the words "Upgrade System Activated" under the Coby logo.
03.) Release the buttons.
04.) Across the top you will see the error message...
"Can not find any update image."
"Press MENU/KEY_VOLUMEUP key to init SD Card,"
"Press BACK/KEY_VOLUMEDOWN key to cancel!"
So if my guess is correct... based on another user's post that other apps are telling him his device is rooted... it is possible that Z4Root has actually run some sort of unlock even though it's failing on the rooting part. Kind of like the S-ON/S-OFF switch on an HTC EVO's hboot menu. I'm thinking if I drop an IMG file (like CyanogenMod 7) on the root of the SD Card, this thing may in fact flash the IMG file thinking it's an upgrade. If not... it may be like the EVO where we have to rename the IMG file to one recognized by the Kyros.
So here I am sitting here debating on the potential bricking I may impose on myself now. =)
