[ROM] Custom ROM for Coby Kyros 9742 - rooted, deodexed, Google Play

[Xegara]

How do I restore this back to the original rom? Please help. The axis were inverted.

Had you actually looked at the posts on the first page you would have found this this post, http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...t/40568-9742-mbr-problems-such-post-here.html , which mentions this problem and provides a possible fix. I say "possible" because there are at least three different hardware versions of the 9742.

If you want to get back to the original ROM, you really can't unless you made a dump of your ROM before you went and tinkered using Livesuite. The only alternative available to you is to download the nandroid backup of my stock ROM from the Development Index thread, root, install Clockworkmod recovery, restore from the backup, and pray that its hardware version matches yours.

Next time, actually search the forum before you post. Your question may already have been answered.

I got mine working. MID9742-8 - rooted, with google play and all are ok. just follow Redeer's post. I used Steeve's custom ROM. And for the camera and inverted axis see Shini's post. If your hardly to pinpoint the location becoz of inverted axis just use mouse and keyboard for typing - that's what i do. Just new to this forum that's why i don't know how to link. Helping me is much appreciated.

This isn't much, just a slight modification of the stock firmware with root, Google Play, and a few other changes.

WARNING:
This firmware was tested on a Novo 7 Elf and it worked fine, but you are solely responsible for its use.
If it bricks your tablet you've been warned.

Features:
- Gapps + Google Play fix
- Rooted
- NetworkLocation service fixed (to pinpoint your location in apps like Google Maps)
- Deodexed for easier modding/theming
- Samsung Galaxy tab fingerprint for better app compatibility

Downloads:
Version 0.1:
cfw_coby_9742_4.0.3_0.1.zip

Flashing instructions:
- Download LiveSuite, this is the flashing software for A10 devices
- Run LiveSuitePack.exe (a bunch of files will be extracted to the current folder, so best to create a new one)
- Now run livesuite.exe
- Choose "SelectImage"
- Choose the coby_kyros_4.0.3.img
- Now you need to put your device in upgrade mode, to do so:
1. power off the device
2. Press and hold any physical key except the power key on the device(ie, press and hold Vol+ key, still holding in 3 and 4)
3. Connect the tablet to your PC via USB cable
4. Repeatedly press the power button until a popup dialog shows on your computer screen
- Now follow the on-screen instructions

Windows 7 64-Bit users, it has been reported that you need to use LiveSuite 1.0.7: LiveSuitPack_v1.07.rar

excellent! thanks for the input!!!

Can I update my ICS to Jelly Bean After using the custom ROM? Thanks

 

[Traveller]

Quick answer: no.

The detailed answer: It can be done, but it requires partitioning the MicroSD card so the tablet boots from the MicroSD. Jellybean won't fit on the internal system space.

Quick answer: no.

Maybe I misunderstood, but doesn't the 9742 have 8 gig total internal ? Vamp said the 7042-8042 with 4 gig total and less than 400 meg system partition need to boot external. what size is the system partiton in the 9742? If its greater than 400 meg, you may not need to boot external. of course CM10 is only out for the 8042.

The new 8 gig novo7's have jelly bean.

 

[Traveller]

System is 250MB on a 9742.

 

[jayson3st]

My main question is it worth customizing the 9742 like this? I just got mine today and am debating doing this. I dont want to have any problems if I install this.
Thanks in advance

 

[jayson3st]

Ok I got it all squared away but my main issues (so far) is that netflix wont open up and slacker radio just sits there and buffers. Anything Im missing?
