I hope this helps some people out there, because it drove me nuts trying to find a way to do this for the MID1125 since it's so new...
First off, I was told by the two main rooting software developers that there is currently no way to root my device, so I needed to find a way to add Market without rooting the tablet. BTW, I’m running 2.3.3.
Secondly, none of the guides on how to add Android Market out there worked for me (once again because my tablet is too new). Every time I tried to use Market, it would just keep crashing, so here is how I did it:
1. Turn on the Debugging Mode (Settings>Applications>Development, then check the box).
2. If you have a microSD card in the tablet, safely eject it.
3. Plug your Kyros into your computer with the supplied USB cable and turn USB Storage on. You will then be prompted to open a window up, so do that because that is the internal storage of your tablet.
4. Download and unzip the file I attached to your computer (there should be 8 files in the zip).
5. Drag the 8 files onto the root of your device.
6. Turn off USB Storage on your tablet and disconnect the cable.
7. On your tablet, use a file managing program. I use the one that came stock on the unit, which is ES File Explorer. Once this program is open, you should see “/sdcard/” on the top left. If you don’t, click the home picture toward the top left. Now when you scroll down, you will see the 8 files that you dragged onto the tablet. Install them in the order that they are listed by selecting each one at a time, which should be GoogleBackupTransport.apk, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleFeedback.apk, GooglePartnerSetup.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk, Talk.apk, and Vending.apk.
8. Once all 8 files are successfully installed, reboot your tablet, and when it comes back on, click the Market icon, and log in with the normal Google username and password (or create a new account if you don’t have one).
9. Turn off the Debugging Mode (Settings>Applications>Development, then uncheck the box) and you should be good to go.
* I've successfully done this on three of these MID1125 tablets, so I figured I would try to save others the MANY hours it took for me to figure this out.
Thanks..I been looking for this for a mid1125 for a few days now..even tho I get mines in the mail tomorrow..I'll let u know how it goes when I try this..

Yeah, pass the information along for the new market and especially if someone finds out how to root it. I have already tried z4root and Gingerbreak, neither of which worked.. I was about to try pulling it from my LG Optimus S phone running Cyanogen Mod with Gingerbread 2.3.3. I will test it out and report back. If I can I will post the files for the new market as well.
root coby 1125
Hello,
In google type: coby kiros root 1125 comunidade coby kyros orkut. There is a tutorial to root this coby. This tutorial is in portuguese linguage.but you can.i use the translate from google to use it. I will maker a english tutorial but will spend a little time
You will need to know something about what is being spoke of (ADB in particular) and it's quite rough but here is a copy paste of the process that paulonsf was speaking of. Also note that due to a shortage of postings I can't post links, but I'm sure you can figure out where to put what to make them work :
Coby Kyros ROOT access in 1125
I bring you here in the community a great tutorial made by Paulo Novais, who is here in the community. In this tutorial he explains how to access Root in 1125
Files needed:
Link 3: .mediafire.com/?0flk1abu232me1k (upgrade.zip-this installs the clockworkmod)
Link 4 : .mediafire.com/?cd061vl5465bmed (install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed-This installs SU)
continuing ..
1 - The ADB tool is a tool that you use the switch to access the tablet.
-2) In a folder with a name for easier access to this folder, for example: C: \ ADBTOOL.
2 - Connect the tablet and the computer using the USB cable, enable tablet mode debugging settings / applications / development / usb debugging.
a. The tablet computer will identify the device as an android.
You can check this panel to identify control / hardware / device. If the drives in the devices should be, automatically installed, an exclamation mark on Android device will appear. This will be necessary
reinstall the drives. In my case I asked him to seek in Windows the best network drive to the device itself and windows found the drives.
b. In the tablet notifications inform him that he is with the way debugging turned on. In addition, it will give the option of connecting to the USB exchange of information with the computer. The one option that you want it mount the sd shows internal and external disk drives in computer. Do not enable that option.
c. To test that you have an established connection type and run the windows: CMD, go to the command prompt. Enter the folder ADBTOOL you created and placed the files in the link 2 (cd
ADBTOOL). One way to know if the drive is installed go type: ADB reboot and press enter. This should reset your Tablet. If you managed to get to that you already have access to tablet via ADB command!. The command: ADB devices also can be used to check if the device is android connected.
Procedure 2 (Installing ClockworkMod):
1 - Put the file update.zip and su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip link
3 and 4 link in an external SD and enter the same in 1125 coby tablet.
No need to uncompress the file, the tablet has the endende
format. ZIP.
a. In the tablet go to setting / about devices / System Update / Install
System Update / From SD CARD. Confirm the operation, the tablet will
reboot and install the update and reload the android system. In this
point CWM (ClockworkMod) was installed. Standards in tablets coby
to go to recovery mode (ClockworkMod) was enough to restart the
holding tablet (power + home). In 1125 coby form is not working,
at least for my coby.
b. To access the CWM use the comand ADB, as explained
above, but type: adb reboot recovery, the tablet will
CWM restart mode. In this mode displays a list of options,
as the backup option, which we talk about topics from previous options,
to update the system, run options of settings files
zip. To make the ROOT will use this last option.
c. To navigate the CWM coby 1125 only gives the option of using the volume
volume up and down (the power button has the same function of the volume up).
Volume will descend down the options. The volume goes up or power button
select the / run option. The problem that occurs in coby
1125, is that if you want to return to the previous option, will not be
possible, there is no button to do this operation. Thus, if you
wrong selection, you need to return the following command: adb reboot
recovery again that the tablet goes to the home screen CWM.
Procedure 3 (ROOT):
1 - Go to recovery mode using the command adb reboot recovery
2 - Scroll down to the option "install zip from sdcard" using the volume down
and select this option using the volume up. Another list will appear
options: choose the "choose zip from sdcard". From there you will see the
su file-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip listed, select this file and
run using the volume down and volume up to navigate to
select and execute.
3 - You will see it run an update. The takes a while. When finished you'll have to use the ADB to give command: ADB reboot from the computer. Because you cannot use the buttons on the tablet to give a reset by CWM.
4 - Ready! When you restart the tablet superuser and run the program, it will get root access and you will see a "#" symbol in notifications from your tablet. A root tip has a program to explore, you can browse directories, change the write option in the directory, copy and paste files. Very good indeed.
Thank you so much for this post. I had been trying to get this done for days on my MID1126 and this worked perfectly!

Problems adding Android Market to MID1125
I have followed the instructions of how to add the Adroid Market to the MID1125 and still no go. I get the GoogleBackupTransport.apk installed and every other file comes up not installed, with the exception of the Vending.apk which loads. Of course the Android Market does not work. It only flashes a white screen for a second the back to the desktop. I have uninstalled the packages and reinstalled several times, with the same result. I really do not want to root it.
Any ideas, anybody???
Hey guys, this is my first post, so if I did something wrong, don't strangle me.
In this guide, we're going to use djrbliss's Motochopper tool. The download will be attached, as I can't place outside links.
As said in the title, this will work ONLY on the AT&T i337 and Verizon i545.
This root WILL work on Linux/Ubuntu, Windows, and Mac.
Step 1. Go to Settings->More->About device then hit “Build Number” about 5-10 times until you see “Developer mode has been enabled” message.
Step 2. Next hit the Back button and you should see a new option called “Developer options”, hit that option.
Step 3. Make sure Developer options is checked ON and also check “USB debugging” ON.
Step 4. Connect a micro-USB cable from your Galaxy S4 to your computer, you should see a “Allow USB debugging” window pop-up on your phone, hit OK. If you don’t see it yet, just skip this step and check back on Step 7. Sometimes this won't show up, but it should.
Step 5. Mac and Linux users can skip this step, because you don't need to install drivers. Windows users: go to Device Manager on your computer and make sure you have something like “Samsung Android ADB Interface” or some type of “ADB Interface”. If you don’t see it, you don’t have Galaxy S4 USB drivers installed, download and install Galaxy S4 Windows drivers. (The link to the drivers is attached in a file, because I can't post outside links, yet)
Step 6. Download Motochopper.zip (attached) and unzip, you should find a bunch of files in it.
Step 7. For Windows, double-click on “run.bat” to start the rooting script.
For Mac or Linux, go to terminal/cmd (whatever you have), and type:
cd Downloads/motochopper
cd motochopper
chmod 755 *
sudo sh run.sh
Step 8. On your keyboard, hit "enter" to begin the rooting process.
If you skipped Step 4, you should now see “Allow USB debugging” window pop-up on your phone, hit OK.
Make sure to hit “Agree” on your phone if you see a “Verify apps?” window pop up during rooting.
Step 9. When the process is done, hit enter on your keyboard. The rooting process will finalize and reboot your phone.
Congratulations, your phone is now rooted!
To make sure it worked, go to your app drawer, and look for an app called "Superuser". If it's there, your phone is rooted!
Now, you can download apps that have "root" in their names in the Play Store.
Once again, congrats for your new rooted phone! Have fun!
If I helped you with rooting your GS4, please hit the thanks button! :victory::laugh:
*can't wait until the bootloader is unlocked* Btw, this is my first Android, so cheers!

Hi, Hisuite application on my pc give me connection failed although i did everything , enabled USB debugging , reinstalled the driver and restarted mylaptop & my phone , installed the latest version of hisuite . so is there any solution for this problem please: ) .
i have huawei mate 7 TL10 and running windows 8.1 on my laptop
i don know if this will help u but you can try to get a new adb driver? just search here
Sent from my HUAWEI MT7-TL10
I've the same problem, my head was almost going to breaked from this app, so my suggestion is to follows this steps carefully:
1. Download "Revouninstaller freeware" Not PRO version (select hisuite you've installed, right click, uninstall, select moderate mode to uninstall program from it's root)
2. On your phone activates "Developer mode" by pressing 10-times on "Build Number" located at Phone Settings > About
3. Enable "USB Debugging"
4. Connect your phone to Laptop/PC via "USB cable"
5. Select on your phone "PC Suite"
6. On your laptop/PC, Autorun window with CD logo just close it, Go to "My computer" then "open the virtual CD" then open & install the "HiSuite package" came with your phone.
7. Don't launch the app, Go to install directory of the "HiSuite" in your "Drive C > Program Files" and locate an apk file contains the "HiSuite.Apk"
8. You should send that to your phone via "Bluetooth or E-mail, whatever you wish"
9. On your phone, After copying the apk app Locate that Apk, then install it.
10. Now open it, plug the USB, Now Open the HiSuite App
Don't do anything in the app leave it until it connect automatically by itself.
Note:
A) New Hisuite PC software didn't work with me because i don't have it's HiSuite.Apk of the same version.
B ) If you've installed HiSuite.apk from outside sources than the one came with your phone I suggest you delete from your phone via "App Manager".
C) I will upload my "HiSuite 1.8.10.apk" just in case if yours didn't work or didn't find it BUT Your PC Software should be of the same version I.e. HiSuite 1.8
Download link - http://www39.zippyshare.com/v/HavIU39W/file.html
D) If no option works, close both apps in your phone and Laptop/PC, reopen app on your Phone and select "connect via wireless mode" get the password, open app on your laptop/PC select "wireless mode" type password and press "connect"
Good Luck

Thanks man ! Now my HiSuite is working !
idk if anyone had this problem but i had my tablet (m5 mediapro) locked and when i unlocked it everything went perfectly. stupid me, hehe.
How to connect to HiSuite
I could not connect, and landed in this discussion which did not give me any solution.
Then after much reading, I found the solution that unlocked things for me :
1.Go to settings/Developer options, and set "Select USB configuration" as Media Transfer Protocol(MTP)
2. Start Hisuite and lo and behold, now when I enable hdb, I get the dialog to allow hiSuite and am able to click OK.
Note that enabling MTP also made Windows 10 capable to access the phone memory through a window, like a USB stick.
I post this for others in the same predicament, hoping it gives them the solution
thank you very much its working
II have just found hisuit.apk in C programfiles hisuite apk
send it to my self trough email and install it -allowing installation from other sources first(.
After this next connecting was not saying connecting and making loop till the infinity.
thanks a lot

Hey fellow Ematic EGP008 Tablet owners! This is an fairly easy tutorial on how to install a custom recovery and root your tablet! As always, there is a slight risk of "bricking" your device. I take no responsibility what so ever.
Note: This was tested on my personal Ematic EGP008 tablet, which uses the Rockchip rk3066 chipset. It may work on other devices using the same chipset, but no guarantees. If this your first time doing something like this, please use the XDA Forums (or Google) to do research or ask if there's no answer to your question.
Now, lets begin! We will need the following items:
* The Device
* A good working USB cable
* A computer with Ubuntu OR Ubuntu in a virtual machine
* Download "android-tools-fastboot" & "android-tools-adb" from Ubuntu package manager
* Download rkflashkit https://github.com/linuxerwang/rkflashkit
* Download ClockworkMod: http://crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?wpfb_dl=682
* SuperSU: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu
If you have everything listed above, we can continue. First, if you haven't backed up your personal data (pictures, music, SMS, contacts, etc) from the device, now would be the time. Then, when you are ready, have your device on and plugged in to your computer's available USB port. Have your device's USB Debugging enabled and it should be plugged in to an external power source (NOT running on the battery alone).
Now, before we get going, we'll need to do somethings. Take the compressed file you downloaded called: rkflashkit-master.zip. Extract it somewhere you'll remember. Open that extracted folder and open a terminal in that directory (usually right-click) and type: "./waf debian" (without the quotes). It should create a new file: rkflashkit_0.1.5_all.deb. You can close out that terminal. Install this package and then launch it from your menu launcher. *Note: Make sure you have installed "python-gtk2." When launching rkflashkit, it will ask you your password; type your password in and hit enter. You will now see a window with no device information. That's OK, just leave that window open.
Now were ready to get the device ready for flashing. Get terminal running. Type in: adb reboot-bootloader . The device should now reboot into "bootloader mode". In the case with my tablet, the screen remains black. That's normal. Check the rkflashkit window... it should now show an available device and the dialog window (to the right) should have some basic information in it. *Note: It is HIGHLY recommended to backup ALL partitions before flashing ANYTHING!* When your finished backing up everything (again, recommended), click on the drop down arrow under "NAND Partitions" label and select "Recovery" (with some numbers/letters behind it). To flash the image that you downloaded (Oma_RK30_3.0.36+_CWM_6.0.3.1.7z), extract it (anywhere). Then head back over to the rkflashkit window and click the "Choose" button. Browse for the "recovery.img" file (you may need to back out to root ( / ) and navigate to the "home" folder and then your profile name to find it). Once you found it, highlight it and click "OK". *Make sure you are flashing the RECOVERY partition* Now just flash the image by clicking "Flash image". It will ask if you what to do this; click yes. It will flash the image and then verify it. The dialog box will let you know when the operation is done. To continue on with rooting the device, click "Reboot Device" (do NOT disconnect anything at this time).
The device should have booted into the operating system without any issues. Now we need to install SuperSU to give us root privileges. Mount the device as storage so the file we need can be copied to it. Copy the file you downloaded (it's a .zip file) from SuperSU on XDA to the root directory of the android device (do not extract it... leave it as is). Turn "off" storage once the file is copied over (but still leave the USB cable plugged in the computer). Return to your terminal (for adb commands) or start a new terminal. Type in: "adb reboot recovery" (without the quotes). Hit enter and the device should reboot into recovery.
The new recovery you just flashed a little while back is touch-compatible (drag your finger up or down and use the power button to "enter" sub-menus OR use a USB keyboard hooked up using an OTG adapter). Before beginning, it is wise to make a backup of your system (in case you need to restore it); scroll down to "Backup and Restore" and press the power button briefly (or enter on USB keyboard). Then select "Backup" and let it do it's work. When it it finished backing up, select "Install zip from sdcard" from the main menu; then choose "choose zip from sdcard". Scroll till you have highlighted the SuperSU zip that you copied over from the computer. Press the power button (or hit enter on USB keyboard); it will ask if you are sure you want to install this zip... scroll down to "Yes" and press the power button (or Enter) again. It should install without errors. Now navigate back to the main menu and reboot the device.
You should now be rooted! Double check that SuperSU is installed and use a root checker if in doubt. Now you can start using apps that need a rooted OS and debloat your stock system (BE CAREFUL... REMOVING THE WRONG APPS COULD LEAVE YOU WITH A SEMI-BRICKED DEVICE or NON-FUNCTIONING OPERATION SYSTEM). Have fun! Let me know how things went and even though I'm not a developer of any kind, I will try to do my best to help anyone. I'm not always online (I have a life, you know ), so don't take it personally if I don't reply in a timely fashion. Now, go enjoy your newly rooted device!
