Aurora ICS 4.0.3 Mobiz V.2 Modified to Work on Coby 7042 and 8042

I've had similar issues before on a different tablet. You could try changing a few settings through superSU, possibly set it to "grant" under "Default access" option. Vampirefo is right though, it's strange that you're having issues as the su binary is really all you should need.
 
I have to get back to work, but I'll work on this more tonight at home. remoting in VIA webkey is slow and tedious. I'll update more tonight.
 
Thanks, I'll give that one a try tonight but I hate to have several apps running all at the same time. I'm really going to focus on servers ultimate as it can run with and without root but I need to find out what triggers the root requirement. Once that is done I'll be mint!!

So far this little 100 dollar tablet has replaced a media PC and a Windows Home Server. 400+ watts down to 10 total including the tablet, and 3 external hard drives to hold all my movies, pictures and files. All I have left is to get a website up and running on it to share pics with the family and I'll be back to the level I was with the other two units.
 
how could one mod the sdCard version to only install /data to the microSD?
everytime i mount the sdcard to my pc my tablet freezes so would like the /system to still mount to the phones memory if possible!

you would need to edit boot.img and change mount point from sdcard to tablet.

Also I only use Linux I don't use windows, you may not even see the data or system from a windows computer cause they are ext4 filesystem, which is a Linux filesystem.

would i have to edit anything from the rom itself?
 
you would need to edit the install script in the rom to install to tablet /system rather than sdcard /system

tell me if this is correct.

in the updater-script file i changed it to

ui_print("[ ] Formatting SYSTEM");
format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/nandd", "0");


show_progress(0.200000, 0);
ui_print("[ ] Mounting SYSTEM");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/nandd", "/system");

is this correct?

and i extracted the boot_ds.img which file is the mount points located in?

thanks
 
Yes that is correct.

edit init.sun4i.rc

ok i changed it to

on fs
mount ext4 /dev/block/nandd /system wait noatime nodev barrier=0

is this correct?

last time i made the boot.img my tablet wouldn't get past the coby logo is there a boot code or anything fancy i need to apply to it to make it work?


**EDIT** still will not load past coby logo

I'd like to try the 0622 rom. I've done some googling and believe I found it, but there's no mention of 7042 in the thread. Could you point me in the right direction?

You know, that Happened to me and reinstalling did the job... To install This one (Aurora) I installed the 7042_boot.zip given by vampirefo in his Root without livesuit post, then just installed this one... After that it got past the Coby logo

NOTE: Im not an expert... But since all that happened to me, maybe it'll work for you

0622 for 7042 doesn't exist none of these rom exist outside of this forum, as I am the one that ports them. I ported 0622 for my son as he like to play games, it is fast and allows games to be played better, I haven't released it as I don't want to fix any problems that may be on the rom, like I said it's ported for games.

There may be stuff that doesn't work correctly, the rom is only being used for games.
