This method requires adb to be installed and working.
If your tablet is already rooted you wont need to root it via my method useless you want to.
The unsecure_boot.img allows all adb commands such as adb remount, also forces adb enabled, meaning the boot overrides Coby's code to disable usb debugging on each reboot.
The recovery is a dual recovery, meaning the recovery includes both Stock and CWM recovery, I decided to release the recovery this way.
733_root_recovery_boot
extract 733_root_recovery_boot.zip, open terminal in the folder where you extracted 733_root_recovery_boot.zip
There is a text file called root_recovery and a folder called data, root_recovery shows the same commands as I am posting below.
adb push data /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/pwn
chmod 0777 /data/local/tmp/root.sh
/data/local/tmp/pwn
exit
adb shell
/data/local/tmp/root.sh
at this point you should be rooted, your adb shell should have went from $ to #, if so you can then if you choose to flash either or both unsecure_boot.img, dual_recovery.img you can now do so, first make a dump.
You should now dump your tablet.
mkdir /sdcard/dump
cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/dump/boot.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd3 > /sdcard/dump/recovery.img
cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/dump/bootloader.img
busybox tar -czvf /sdcard/dump/coby_7033_system.tgz /system
To flash boot and recovery.
data/local/tmp/flash_boot.sh
data/local/tmp/flash_recovery.sh
this script removes files from /data/local/tmp
data/local/tmp/remove.sh
If you flashed unsecure_boot.img, you can reboot and and check and make sure all is booting and adb is working, and usb debugging is enabled.
If you flashed dual_recovery.img, on reboot hold volume - plus power until you are in recovery mode, You will see stock recovery, you can use adb in this recovery or you can if you want switch to CWM.
adb shell
cw_recovery.sh
to return to stock recovery
st_recovery.sh
CWM recovery will allow you to backup but not install backups, you can install via adb from CWM recovery.
you can install approved roms from CWM, right now none exist.
CWM recovery and unsecure_boot.img are tools used to fix your tablet, if the tablet should fail.
In CWM recovery to format, system, cache, data
first make sure all are unmounted.
format_cache.sh
format_data.sh
format_system.sh
to restore your dump at a later time, mosy of the time only system is needed.
place coby_7033_system.tgz on micro sdcard
boot into recovery
adb shell
cw_recovery.sh
umount
cache
data
mount
sdcard
format_cache.sh
format_data.sh
format_system.sh
busybox tar -xzvf /sdcard/coby_7033_system.tgz
now reboot, you will have to reenter all data, this is a new install.
