MID7024 "Official" and Custom ROMs

[nefirim]

I have managed to root it, these are the steps:

Download the required files attached to the post

Push them with adb:

adb push su-v3 /system/bin/
adb push Superuser.apk /system/bin/
adb push debuggerd.new /system/bin/

adb shell
$ cd /system/bin/
$ cp debuggerd debuggerd.bak
$ mv -f su-v3 su
$ mv -f debuggerd.new debuggerd
$ chmod 755 debuggerd
$ exit

adb reboot

Your tablet will turn off.

Turn it back on and it will begin rooting then shutdown again.

Turn in on one more time and you should be rooted

Note: SuperOneClick may also work, but I haven't tried

Hey steeve, would it be cool with you if I used this in my 8024 rom that I'm working on based on this GB rom? Credit will be of course given

 

[steev]

sure, go for it

To make it easier I made a enable_root patch for the new gingerbread firmware.
Just drop it in the patches folder to make the ROM pre-rooted

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17126237/coby/enable_root_patch.tgz

Untested but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

 

[nefirim]

How do you make a patch like that? do you just tarball/gunzip the files in the file structure you want the files on the final system? and is there a certain naming convention as well?

 

[steev]

do you just tarball/gunzip the files in the file structure you want the files on the final system?

Yep.

If you want to make a enable_root tarball, the permissions of the su binary must be correct. su needs to be setuid root or else it won't work.

You can do that on a *nix system with:

# chown root:root system/bin/su
# chmod 4711 system/bin/su

You must also create the tarball as root to preserve the permissions:

# tar cvzpf ../my_patch.tgz *
system/
system/xbin/
system/xbin/su
system/bin/
system/bin/su
system/busybox/
system/busybox/bin/
system/busybox/bin/su
system/app/
system/app/Superuser.apk

and is there a certain naming convention as well?

For this particular ROM, the file name must end in "patch.tgz"
This block of code from the utscript.sh applies the patches:

for UT_BOARD_PATCHES in `find /mnt/mmc/patches/ -name "*patch.tgz"`
do
    tar zxvf $UT_BOARD_PATCHES
    cat init.rc.append >> init.rc
    cat init.smdkv210.rc.append >> init.smdkv210.rc
    cat build.prop.append >> system/build.prop
    rm init.rc.append
    rm init.smdkv210.rc.append
    rm build.prop.append
done

Each patch tarball is extracted on top of the root filesystem, then those "*.append" files (if they exist) are appended to init.rc, build.prop, etc.

Will post the ROM soon

That's great. My first post, been lurking for awhile before attempting anything on the wife's 7024. You guys are awesome, I love playing with theses things and am looking forward to HoneyComb for my device.

Actually the Android version is Gingerbread (2.3.3).
3.1.1 is just the version number prox32 gave his ROM.

I don't think Honeycomb is possible on this tablet yet, the best we can do is a Honeycomb-themed Gingerbread.

This is exactly what MID1024 needs.

What have you changed so far? It seems that you can go from 7024's CFW to 8024's CFW and vice-versa, will this work with 1024 too?

EDIT: This version is old, try the newer one:

Evolution 3.1.1 MOD for Coby Kyros MID7024
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17126237/coby/evo-3.1.1_mid7024_mod-1.zip
md5: 39dc8b170b93b3661bcacb2c9c2b74cf

Changes:
-Hex edited u-boot.*, set_bootargs, and INand.vhd to fix camera (set camera=hi704)
-Added kernel (zImage, zImage.debug) from jmv_10's gingerbread ROM for 8024
-Added kernel modules, touchscreen calibration app, and other files from jmv_10's ROM (look in update/coby_kyros.tgz)
-Added stock logo.png
-Changed bootanimation (Drizzle)
-Modified utscript.sh to install coby_kyros.tgz

I didn't change anything else. I like the ROM the way it is.

Special thanks:
prox32 and all other contributors to the original ROM

Posted the changes above.

Note that I didn't apply a Honeycomb theme to this ROM, I was just saying that a Honeycomb-themed Gingerbread ROM was possible.

I don't know if this can work with the 1024, but flxrms got the 1024 stock froyo working on the 7024, so he probably knows more about this than I do.

Posted the changes above.

I see. Great job, thanks! I went to the Evolution thread and I didn't see much info about its specs. What's good about it?

So there is no HC themed ROM so far for any MIDx024, right?

Some things I've noticed so far:
-Battery seems to drain slower (either that or the battery status indicator is inaccurate)
-rooted
-includes Android Market and Google apps
-Overclocked cpu
-Snappier than the stock froyo
-Touch screen seems more responsive
-Bluetooth (requires dongle, haven't tested yet)

Seems a lot like flxrms's CFW, but based on gingerbread instead of froyo

So there is no HC themed ROM so far for any MIDx024, right?

Not that I know of, but I'm sure we'll see one soon.
