Got stuck with recovery.img not found, then followed this to work it out:
Code:
[COLOR=black][B]To all of you having trouble with the [COLOR=blue]recovery.img[/COLOR] not found![/B]
[/COLOR][COLOR=black][COLOR=red]This is what I did to solve it:[/COLOR]
We all got stuck here, right?
type [/COLOR][COLOR=black][COLOR=blue]su[/COLOR] followed by a return
type [/COLOR][COLOR=black][COLOR=blue]flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[/COLOR] followed by a return
We got totally stuck due to the fact the recovery.img file could not be found, even though it had been copied to my sdcard as instructed. Then, it took me a lot of reading and hours trying to figure out how to install SDK tools on my PC and other stuff that got me even more confused, as I never seemed to make anything work fine and was even trying to crash and learn how to program (LOL poor me). Well, so here is what I figured out and what did the job for me without even having to understand all the complicated stuff people have been posting as if it were second nature to everyone:
[COLOR=red]>[/COLOR] If your device cant find the file recovery.img its probably because youve updated your firmware or your Kyros has already come with the update and a file called flash_image is not present anymore in this version. Do this (Mind you, I did not come up with any explanation Im simply putting everything together in an easy walk-through so that you newbies like me wont have to read through a number of threads and then try and make head or tail of all that stuff):
a) Do the same procedure described in the step-by-step instructions [COLOR=blue]PART 4: DOWNLOADING CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY AND THE "GOOGLE EXPERIENCE" PACKAGE [/COLOR]from [COLOR=blue]3[/COLOR] through [COLOR=blue]5[/COLOR] that is, youre simply going to get ready to copy one more file (see below) onto your microSD card as done before.
b) Get a copy of the original 7015 update ([/COLOR][COLOR=red][B][URL="http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/coby-tablets/8283-new-update-zip-coby-build-mid7015a-1-6a-1-26-11-a-4.html"]click here[/URL][/B][/COLOR][COLOR=black] and it will take you to a thread in another forum I think youll have to register, but its free and scroll down to the last post on the page, by [COLOR=red][B]l_n[/B][/COLOR], who has kindly uploaded the file. Use his link to download it). The file name is [B]kyros_original_update.zip[/B].
c) Unzip it and open the folder system found in it. In system, open the folder bin and find the file flash_image. Copy it onto the root of your microSD card.
d) Follow steps [COLOR=blue]7[/COLOR] and [COLOR=blue]8[/COLOR] of the same [COLOR=blue]PART 4[/COLOR] of the instructions posted by Josh.
e) Now, back to your tablet, go to settings and use the [COLOR=blue]Terminal APP[/COLOR] again (you used it in [COLOR=blue]PART 5[/COLOR] and that is where we got stuck)
Youre back to where we encountered the problem of the missing file.
Do this:
type [COLOR=blue]su[/COLOR] followed by a return
(NOTE: Again, the prompt should change from a [COLOR=blue]$[/COLOR] to a [COLOR=blue]#[/COLOR]. This let's you know that you now are in root mode.)
Now type in [B]exactly [/B]this (please, mind all the spaces):
# [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=blue]cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin/flash_image[/COLOR] [/FONT](PRESS RETURN)
# [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=blue]chown root.shell /system/bin/flash_image[/COLOR][/FONT] (PRESS RETURN)
# [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=blue]chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image[/COLOR][/FONT] (PRESS RETURN)
Now, just go on typing in this:
# [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=blue]mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak[/COLOR][/FONT] (PRESS RETURN)
# [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=blue]flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[/COLOR][/FONT] (PRESS RETURN)
# [FONT=Courier New][COLOR=blue]reboot recovery[/COLOR][/FONT] (PRESS RETURN)
Thats it. You can now go back to the alternate (newbie-friendly) guide: [COLOR=blue]PART 6: MAKING A BACKUP AND INSTALLING THE "GOOGLE EXPERIENCE"[/COLOR]
Worked for me. Hope it works for all having the same problem.[/COLOR]
