Mid 9742 Bricked After SD Card Input

[Matthewbim11]

Alright, so I bought a new micro SD card for my new phone, which is a Kyrocera Rise (stock Android, no altering). I put the old 2 gig SD card in my tablet, a Coby Mid 9742 and now it wont go past the Android loading screen. I've left it on for hours and it does nothing. I try to get into it using Snap Pea but it says "cannot read phones data". I've rebooted it many times and still nothing. I hope you can help. I tablet is also unaltered Android.

Remove the sdcard and reset the tablet. A lot of allwinner tablets have problems with 2GB sdcards, don't use them throw them away get at least a 4GB sdcard.

you are using paper clip method or you booted into recovery and reset it?

 

[Matthewbim11]

Uhhhh, I'm just turning it off and on, lol. Is there a better way to do it?

Insert Paperclip in small hole beside usb until it resets.

If doesn't work boot into recovery factory reset. First method should work though, a reboot does nothing but reboot.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, but I put the paper clip in and it turned off and back on, but it's still doing the thing. Can you tell me how to do the factory reset? I did the paper clip multiple times.

When I hold down power, volume up and back, it boot's normally. Can you tell me how to boot into recovery mode on this tablet?

Nothing else I can tell you, works just fine on my grandson's 9742.

You should be able to get into recovery using volume- and power. It works 100% of the time for me, so if it doesn't work for you there may be a hardware issue.
