CM10 for Coby 8042

[vampirefo.]

Black screen. How about I replace the CM9 boot.img that I have working on CM9 and replace it with the 9740 boot.img?

that is interesting, your tablet is more like 9740 than my 8042, another reason to make a stock dump and upload it.

anyway looking over the 9740 boot.img.

remove
/system/lib/modules/gt82x.ko
/system/lib/modules/gt801_2plus1.ko
/system/lib/modules/gt8110_2plus1.ko
/system/lib/modules/ft5x06_ts.ko

then rename

/system/lib/modules/ft5x_ts.ko to /system/lib/modules/ft5x06_ts.ko

boot animation boot loop

I am not for sure what you are doing, removing ts drivers shouldn't cause a bootloop as they aren't needed to begin with. you are doing a factory reset?

just boot the 9740 rom.

adb remount

adb shell

rm -r /system/lib/modules/gt82x.ko
rm -r /system/lib/modules/gt801_2plus1.ko
rm -r /system/lib/modules/gt8110_2plus1.ko
rm -r /system/lib/modules/ft5x06_ts.ko

busybox mv /system/lib/modules/ft5x_ts.ko /system/lib/modules/ft5x06_ts.ko

reboot

I booted the 9740 rom and lsmod is showing gt2005-2015 should remove that one?

 

[jag00741]

that 9740 rom before was the one that i put the boot.img from the CM10 8042 so it boot looped. So, I flashed the original CM10 9740 rom and it booted just no touchscreen and its using the gt2005-2015 ko

Did you do what I posted?

 

[jag00741]

I did it and no touchscreen. Lsmod says ft5x_ts instead of ft5x06_ts and i still have to fix the resolution by modding the modules. Also, that might have to been done on the script.bin and adb. Not sure. =(

I've just dragged my old coby out of the closet planning to try to refurbish it for some basic duties. Trying to get back onto track with the roms and whatnots. I never did try this rom back in the day, but wanted to give it a shot now.
Problem is... the original link at 4shared doesn't seem to work. The site is misleading with Download Now links all over the place, so the possibility exists that I just haven't picked the right one. But, I don't think so. I've even downloaded a file with the right name, but only 1.5 MB in size.

Does anyone still have this file somewhere? Vampirefo? You still around?
How did Cyanogenmod 10 even run on this device? Is it worth the effort?

BAsically, I just want it to view pdf files, for the most part. Some epub action, maybe. Nothing intensive.

Ha ha!
Never mind. I was about to bump the thread or pm Vampirefo directly, but I tried the site one more time and finally found the right link.

What I had to do was actually sign up to the site and select the right download link (which I discovered because it was the only one left with adblock running) then, disable adblock for that page and wait 60 seconds for the file to autodownload.

What a colossal pain in the ass.
I understand these sites need to make money, but they shouldn't be so purposefully confusing.
