Anyone else's tablet freezing up when attempting a backup using CM? Mine gets to varying points of the backup process (currently "Backing up data..." then 111) and just stops and is totally unresponsive.

Fixed: Loaded a different CM recovery image and all is well in my Android world for now.

Hi I'm stuck here as well but can't seem to get the terminal emulator installed on my Coby.
What is the usb keyboard? And the coby cable is that just the usb cable that came with Coby?
Please help!

Catb,

You need to run AppsLib to download and install Terminal Emulator. If AppsLib is not working, then you need to upgrade to AppsLib2. Then you use the short Coby cable to connect one end to Coby and other end to USB Keyboard. Next run the Terminal Emulator and Coby screen will reply.

Good Luck !!

A big thank you to everybody who posted information to this thread. After a few hiccups I was finally able to root, perform the clockworkmod recovery and install Android market. What a difference this makes - it turns the Kyros from a average tablet to a spectacular tablet. Now that I have Android Market installed I can say without a doubt that this is the best $150 I have spent in a long time. All we need now is Android 2.2.

To anybody who is on the fence about buying a Kyros because of the Coby name on it go ahead and make the leap to the Coby side - you will be pleasantly surprised. If you already have the Kyros then take the time to performs these mods and you will be shocked at the new found ability of your tablet.

Once again, thanks to everyone who provided this very useful information.

When doing the ClockworkMod recovery, where does the backup image get stored - on the PC or on the SD card?

If it's the SD card, what's the minimum size needed for the file?

Thanks

I got this to work by downloading a different file manager.

Browse to it in file manager and long press it. Should be a menu pop up and give you the option to install .apk via "package installer" right under the "delete" option.

Otherwise get it through apps library, if you can anyway.

I got to this point in the clockwork install guide (9. Type adb reboot recovery and press enter). When I pressed enter my tablet went blank ,then my pc started installing new drivers.Now in device manager it shows as "adb interface" under that says (fastboot interface google usb id).Tablet now doesnt do anything.Is there anyway to get it to turn on?
Thanks for any help
