KYROS 7042 - Windows - Root/CWM Recovery- No Livesuit Needed

[gth826a]

Sorry, that was an incoherent explination...
Here is what I have tried, and the order I've tried it in:

1. Files are on my PC's Desktop (windows 7).
2. Turned on the tablet.
3. Connected it via USB cable.
4. Turned on "USB Storage" - "USB debugging mode" already checked/allowed
5. double-click the "adb.exe"... cmd window opens, runs scipt(s) quickly, then window closes
6. double-click the "root_recovery.bat"... cmd window opens and says "Waiting for Kyros..."
7. I sit here looking like a dumb@ss twiddling my thumbs... nothing else happens.

Any assistance to cure my ignorance would be greatly appreciated

I am not a windows guy, anyway do you have the adb drivers installed?

Here is my method.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what most of that thread meant...
I am completely unfamiliar with Linux

Can anyone else provide me with the specific order-of-operations for using windows to root the 7042?

Thanks,

Your first step is going to be install adb drivers, once they are installed and working the .bat files should then be able to work.

yea you need the abd driver installed try pdanet then if you have problems with the root_recovery.bat edit this line

adb.exe shell sh /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh
to
adb.exe shell su -c "sh /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh"

i rooted my 7042 and installed cwm using the bat file. the issue is that i can only reboot into recovery from turning off the coby and pressing volume up + volume down + power button. i cant reboot into recovery using adb cmd or using quick boot.apk or terminal emu, it just restarts my coby (reboot). what is the problem?

 

[vampirefo.]

to reboot into recovery from terminal or from adb you should have placed the reboot-recovery script into /system/bin.

you can still reboot into recovery, typing the long command

adb shell

echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nandf count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot

or from terminal

su

echo -n boot-recovery | busybox dd of=/dev/block/nandf count=1 conv=sync; sync; reboot

if you put the script where it needs to be you would then only type the name of the script.

example

adb shell

reboot-recovery

from terminal

su

reboot-recovery.

 

[samersh]

it works. thx. but still cant reboot into recovery from quick boot.apk

 

[samersh]

it only works from rom manager.apk coooool

 

[samersh]

when i restored stock firmware, i cant get into recovery from adb. and reboot-recovery script is placed in system/bin

reboot-recovery
dd: can't open '/dev/block/nandf' : Permission denied
Reboot: Operation not permitted

help please

 

[vampirefo.]

Must be done as root.

adb shell
su
reboot-recovery

 

[samersh]

ok its done. thx
