Hello XDA,
Well this would be my second post here on XDA. I thank those who helped me out on my first post.
But once again, I am in need of help right now. I just got a Coby Kyros MID8042-4 which runs on ICS 4.0.3.
And like all those who complain with Coby devices, there's no Google Play in it.
I tried searching high and low and cant find an exact procedure dedicated for the 8042-4 model.
some say that it requires root, some say that it doesn't. But they're all for other models of Coby.
Can somebody spare me some knowledge on how to root 8042-4 if necessary or if there's a way to get google play running without rooting.
I have once used SuperOneClick on a Kata Minitab7 and it was a success, but i have read on some thread that SuperOneClick
messes up ICS.
Please, I need Google Play... GetJar is useless....
I would appreciate any help that you guys would spare me.. thanks to all... more power XDA!!
Here you go
I found this simple little fix over at androidtablets.net
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...yros-8042-rooted-google-apps-google-play.html
It is a custom ROM that roots the device and gives you Gapps. Just follow the instructions and you should have Gapps in no time

Hi! I have a huge need to root my tablet... It has 2.3.1 Android (I guess that is Gingerbread?). It is M908HC model, if that gives you smth. I tried everything! z4root, SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak (with the adb push, not with apk method; but someone from my local android forum wrote that he tried it with apk file and it didn't work either...). Does anyone have an idea how to root that tablet? Please, I really need that root and I belive that it's possible! If you need some more info about, just let me know. I would be very appreciate for helping me...
Or maybe someone knows where can I find the firmware for Goclevers tablets? I looked on their website and I did't find anything.

please hit the thanks button or buy me a pepsi its late im thirsty
But this tutorial is about WOPADi7 tablet, not the Goclever R93. It ain't make a diffrence? Will it work on my tablet? And it won't brick it?
Did you manage to root the R93 ? I'm in the same situation, and I even want to replace that version of Android because I think is a little slower!
Hi, I've managed to install new rom with root - everything is working especialy calendar, details: freaktab.com/showthread.php?191-Need-help-with-Goclever-R93&p=2029&viewfull=1#post2029

A cursory glance through google search brought up your post on this forum and the announcement about the device. I will look further into this for you however my suggestion would be to look at the usual rooting applications such as superoneclick and if the device isn't listed as being support try and contact the applications developer. Short of that I don't really have much else to tell you at this point.
Has anyone had luck with rooting the MID7042. Would love to install google play and flash on this device. Great device but lacking these two items sort bring it down.
Found both apk from a search and they install fine, but close upon opening. Guessing they need superuser permissions.
Its hilarious when I Google "roor android" yer number one hit!!!

Coby Kyros MID7042
I also am having trouble with google play.
Managed to get tablet into recovery mode while plugged in. Any way to root it from there?
Hold volume up button and home button while pressing down power on, released on coby splash screen.
Recently Doing Some Research on this Device (MID7042-4)
Hi there,
The last post on this thread is from a few weeks ago. I just bought one of these recently, and was really annoyed that it does not come with the Android Market, etc. So far, I have been able to overcome that via a blog post; do a google search for Red7's blog on installing the android market on coby kyros mid7012.
This would allow you at least to have the market. There is also a youtube video shown in that post, which talks about some additional way to get Google Play working, and it also states some people reporting problems with the apk's posted there.

So i picked up this 10.1 '' tablet in a sale on amazon, i wanted to play hearthstone on it when i was away from my pc (as i have a problem), however the 'unique' way in which HS installs to the internal memory no matter what made me look up solutions, when doing so i figured out that i must not have a rooted device as i wasn't able to use the workarounds provided.
So then i reckon the internet could help, so far i haven't been able to find a solution and was told from multiple people (rooting is easy...just look up your model and...) problem is i cannot find any mention on the internet as to a solution for me,
Please, please, please help me i am running out of patience with this yoke, and if i could get help from your professional's i would be in your debt.
If someone has an idea please help i can provide any/all info to do with this tablet if necessary:
Time2touch 10.1'' gc1044e running 4.4.4 kitkat,
Thanks for taking the time to read this,
regards,
Donbro.
