Coby Kyros 7012 - How to install CyanogenMod

Since I couldn't find anything on this bloody tablet and unfortunately I have one here is what I did to get it working
Unfortunately the hardware buttons will pretty much all be off since they are not mapped correctly so this is the downfall.
!back up your stuff, I am not responsible for bricking or anything else
Install Clockwork Recovery by doing the following
1) Download here (this is for 7016 but works on 7012, buttons are a little off but you will get used to it, use volume down to scroll and volume up to select, back works.) get the file called "ClockworkMod Recovery 5, CyanogenMod 7, FWDN image"
http://androtab.info/cyanogenmod/telechips/
2) install by going into fwdn mode with this command in dos with no parenthesis (adb reboot-bootloader)
3)Then type (fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img) or where ever your recovery.img file is.
4) Go into recovery and install this zip file from sd card
KYROS7016GB-8K-cyanogen-signed.zip
which is located here -> http://mirrors.androtab.info/oldfiles/telechips/cm7/20111029/KYROS7016GB-8K/

Attempted install from ZIP file on internal SD storage via CWM recovery.
Install failed immediately.

This works!!

Thanks this worked. The bottom link no longer works but the top link will take you to the page with all the files.
-Must have an external SD card
-You only need the ClockworkMod Recovery 5 and the CyanogenMod7 files no need for the FWDN image.
-You will also need the CM7 gapps you can get those by searching for CM7 gapps on google first link
-I have managed to fix some of the hardware buttons. After install volume_down is menu, volume_up is home, and the back button works as it should.
-you can go into /system/usr/keylayout and change all of the lines that say HOME and MENU to VOLUME_UP and VOLUME_DOWN to all of the files in the folder you will get volume buttons working.
-I can not get the search home or menu buttons to work I tried keyevent viewer from the app store and pressing any of the buttons shows nothing.

Oh, No!

Did you try placing a recovery.img on the root of your SD and booting into bootloader and it re flashing the correct CWM recovery.

Brick mid7012
Im stuck in coby logo with blue words showing fastboot mode plis i need to rebuild the system i dont know how plz help me!

W00t! Working on 7012
Nice! I just loaded CM7 for the 7016 on my 7012.
You have to open the signed cyanogen archive in 7zip (or whatever) and edit the the updater-script at this path:
\META-INF\com\google\android\
The entire first line, including the semicolon at the end of it but nothing more, has to be removed. The installer is just checking the tablet's ID to make sure it's only going on supported hardware (oops).
After that, the install goes nicely. Don't be worried if it takes a while to get off of the COBY screen.

I flashed this on a coby mid7012 and need to know how to align the screen? It calibrates but it's off to the right about 1/2 inch. Thanks

It is not listed Here so it don't look like it will work for your tablet sorry.
You need to find CWM recovery for your device and you can follow the install in the first post here.

Any fix for the misalignment?

[Q](MT7-L09)5.1 back to 4.4.2 (also with bootloop)

For those who are not satisfied with 5.1 or stuck in bootloop, here a way back.
For the bootloop:
First you need to have the boot and recovery.img of 5.1 flash in fastboot. For an open bootloader is required!
- Fastboot.zip download and unzip.
- The fastboot folder to the hard disk on which you have installed Windows, move.
- Switch off (Vol - and press Power until it vibrates).
- In Windows, click Start - All Programs - Accessories, select Command Prompt.
- In the window cd .. and press Enter while typing up her only the drive letter (C: \>) see.
- Now you give a cd fastboot and Enter . In order for her in the folder.
- Now that off with Mate Vol - to the PC.
- Now you give fastboot flash boot boot.img and Enter, then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and Enter.
This means that both you have flashed.
- Now disconnect the device on and off with soft Vol + Power.
- Then you can proceed with the instructions.
For users whose system is running:
- Download and unzip this file. The Update.app contained therein in the dload folder to the SD.
- This flash now.
- Now the Update.app the B137SP03 in dload folder and flash
- After that the device starts again with 4.4.2.
Have Fun.

Question?? To use this commands
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
We need a unlocked bootloader???

Yes, for the bootloader must be open.

Thanks Foox1, Its working perfect, even i had this error at 95% on the first UPDATE.APP, and i did not have the 300 roll back version when rebotting, i succeded installing 137SP03 after that at the end i installed B141 and everything was perfect.
I think B141 is the best update by now... i got very good performance and battery life... try it.

I can't understand the second part.
First we flash the update.app we take from the folder "Mate 7 (Jazz-L09) V100R001C900B308-Transition_Pack"
Then we flash the second update.app with the B137 firmware?

Yes, the first matches of the bootloader and the recovery, the second flashes the entire system.

If my system running, you mean I'm running the lollipop, right?

Yes, if 5.1 is running and want to back 4.4.2. The first part is for users who have made it wrong, and the system will not boot.

I do the second part but nothing is happend. First I install the first file "update.app" then my phone reboot and then I install the second file update.app from B137, my phone reboot again but nothing it happens.

Well i guess if you follow it step by step there won't be any problem.If you get stuck at some point just comment here.And installing adb is just like the normal installation of any setup files in windows.Regarding the flashing of twrp there is nothing much to do than the steps mentioned above.If you still need a video go for this.https://youtu.be/kmq2Eyzl3wA NOTE:This video makes use of files for the sd410 model,so don't use the files in that video.Get the files from this post.This video can make you familiarize the process,but steps mentioned here is slightly different.

Internal Storage Files Missing
After I flashed TWRP and then entered it, it asked for a password to decrypt my storage. I didnt set any password for my phone so I pressed cancel after which came the TWRP menu. But once I selected the install option so as to flash the supersu file, I was unable to find my zip file in it. When I searched for solution, they said it was because my storage is encryted that I was'nt able to acces the data. They adviced to format data through wipe option in TWRP. But still no use. And to add to the problem, when I tried to reboot into system, I was left with a black screen and couln't get to the homescreen.
Please consider my problem and hoping for your fast reply.

Boot back into twrp home screen - WIPE- FORMAT DATA , after that, also from twrp , REBOOT-RECOVERY, after that, go ahead and flash the root file and then try to boot into home screen.

Place the root file on an external sd card.

I guess you have copied the super su file to external sd card.Formatting data as mentioned by jide1 did remove the encryption for me.If it doesn't work do advanced wipe with only the data,cache and dalvik cache boxes checked.Note:don't check any other box.Then reboot into twrp.Go to mount in twrp and see that your external sd is mounted.Now access the external sd card in install option and you will find the files of super su.

Flash twrp again ,disconnect usb cable from pc, then press and HOLD "volume down" AND "power button" when device vibrates, RELEASE "power button" WHILE still holding "volume down" , that should do the job.

GSM network blocked

Good night guys, and happy new year.
Yesterday (December 31), the GSM network of my X2 blocked out of nowhere, and now, is asking for the NCK code to release the network. Also when I go to check the IMEI number, it appears only zeros. I researched the internet on how to get the NCK, but I did not find the methods of deblocking reliable. Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone know any way to solve this? Strange to say, since I've been with the device for almost 3 years and it has never happened before. And to make matters worse, some apps are no longer working, like google play, gmail ...
Thank you very much in advance,

I have the same problem
I put my SIM Card into another phone and it works without any problems, so it guess it's a problem on the X2 side.
I did a factory reset, formating the internal card, reinstall the system and restore a backup, none of them helped

I tried to do the same, and it did not work, either.

Do you use Magisk? If you do so, it's known for being the culprit.

Yes, I installed the newest version of Magisk.
I deinstalled the app without any success to solve the problem and then I reseted the phone several times also without solving the problem.
Does anybody has a clue where this information is stored???
Thanks in advance

Uninstalling the app won't do anything because Magisk modifies your kernel (boot.img) which you must restore to the original one from a TWRP Backup or use the Magisk uninnstaller.zip.

You just need to restore your stock boot.img. There's no EFS partition here because this isn't a device with a Qualcomm chip.
For root you can use SuperSU 2.82-SR5 + suhide.

Yeah, it should be good. Maybe you should install your firmware with Stock recovery and dload method. Then a factory reset shoud fix the problem but don't flash Magisk.

How to install firmware with Stock recovery ?
whick files belong to "firmware" and how to do?

Yeah, it should be good. Maybe you should install your firmware with Stock recovery and dload method. Then a factory reset shoud fix the problem but don't flash Magisk.

Dear
I understand the process you say
But I don't know what's different with my doing
First I turn off phone ......presss power + Vol down ...enter fastboot mode
Then I flash stock recovery.img which Extract from UPDATE.APP (download from TW wesite)
REBOOT to system
Then I copy dload floder to SD card
connect PC and phone with USB(I know how to set developmenter and USE debug before this )
I turn off phone and press 3 keys at same time, System will restore to new one
But either the way you say or my doing went to the same result
the SIM network NCR need unlock

I saw that you have a GEM-702L with parts from GEM-701L firmware which might also be the issue. You must use a firmware made for you hardware variant or debrand to GEM-701L firmware which requires you to do some extra steps. Check your build number and post a screenshot.

Dear
I find the situaction. So I post a screenshot
But I really don't know why to happen
Could you tell me where to show the build number
because My fhone is not English System

*#*#1357946#*#* will show Product ID (8 numbers)
But after unlock phone I found *#*#1357946#*#* will show nothing

When connecting my phone to my computer to copy the .zip file called Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt, the storage wouldn't show on my computer for me to copy it there to flash it

Will SM-A205F have a working backup/restoring TWRP and ROOT when the Android 10 firmware is completely released ?

Are you connecting the phone while in TWRP ?
If so then you want to enable MTP and mount the system and data to transfer files between PC

Yes.
MTP is enabled and everything is mounted, still no connection is being done, might it be a TWRP issue.

You should download it straight to your phone.
Store on sd card

MTP is not working in Q TWRP. Looks like the original problem has reappeared that was solved by afaneh92 in his Pie kernel.

Its working on Ultimate Q
So is backup and restore
It has Minh's kernel built in

@physwizz MTP does indeed work from within Ultimate Q but not at the TWRP level (with a Windows PC) with either the v14.3 Minh Kernel that comes with Ultimate VQ or v14.4 installed afterwards. Maybe it works with a Mac but not on Windows platforms.
Backup and restore seem to be working happily and the dreaded red text of death has not been an issue at all using Ultimate Q and Ultimate VQ ROMs.

Minh's kernel also won't get flashed, it gives an update error.
