Need stock recovery image for Coby 7022 build 20120106

I need a stock recovery image for the Coby Kyros 7022 build 20120106 (previous builds will not work). I tried to flash clockworkmod recovery on my tablet without making a backup of the stock image, only to find that cwm recovery doesn't work with the new build of my tablet. Can anyone give me a stock recovery image for this tablet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same Problem.
I have yet to find a solution since 02/2012.

Maybe you can try this?
stock recovery image for Coby 7022

same probleme right here

Coby 7022 20120106 build
I ended up with no recovery after trying to install clockwork. Recovery didn't work (it bypassed recovery when using the proper keys) and I had no good backup. Flashing older firmware in the 11 2011 timeframe led to boot loops. I've not been able to find a stock Coby 7022 firmware from 20120106. However, I did find another post here regarding a different tablet using the same tcc8803 chipset with the same build date. dub dub dub dxtremeDOTcom.au/forum/viewforum.php?f=15 (remove spaces insert correct www etc...) So I gave it a try. I'm actually able to get the 7022 booted using this firmware and system but the touchscreen is not working, so I'm guessing that driver is not exactly correct.
Completely a noob but wanting to learn. BTW I did not use the FWTool as I read posts this kills the TS
So my ask is, does anyone know of a way to get the drivers for the 7022 build dated 20120106?

This restore didn't work on my system. The 7022 from 20120106 seems to be a rare animal and little info on it yet.

Same problem here, I tried to flash a previous CWM/Stock Recovery and nothing... just bootloop when I try to enter recovery mode. So, does anyone have the stock recovery for the 20120106 build yet? Thank you in advance for the one who can help

After reading a bit, it seems what we need are two files that could be copied off a working stock machine of the proper build date or later. In our case on or after 20120106. The problem for me seems to be the lk.rom file. The ROM I used for the DExtreme pad boots but no touch screen function due to the DExtreme being a 5 touch capacitance screen and the Kyros 7022 being but 2.
There may be other problems with the DExtreme files like the camera being different or even the network adapter but no way of telling without the stock boot file. Anyway, I've resigned myself. My 7022 is a paper weight until I find the stock files.
If anyone comes across this looking to root and clockwork mod your 7022 and it's build date is on or after Jan 6 2012, please stop and use ADB to pull a copy of your stock OS off it first. Not only will you be able to help us out, but you'll be able to restore when things go horribly wrong.

Well, I'm expecting another 7022 to arrive next week (kind of a late Mother's day gift), I assume it will be same build, so, I'll try to pull a copy of that unit and see if I can restore it on te semi-dead one. I will post again when it arrives to tell if it worked (or if I have two bricks xD). If it works, I'll upload a copy.

Neh, It's an international shipment and got delayed. I was supposed to receive it today, but now I'll have to wait 'til monday or tuesday. I'll post when I get them to tell if it worked.
Edit: what I could do was root it. It was quite easy using SuperOneClick, but still no recovery...

So, for now, we are pretty much screwed :/

I just got a 7022 that has a build date of 20120106. I am new to android so I have no idea what I am doing but if someone gives me step by step instructions I can try to get it off the tablet for you. Good thing I found this forum, I was about to try and root it.

1) You need to install the Android SDK, instructions can be found HERE, but basically you need to:
-) Download the .exe and install it
-) Locate the folder where you installed it and run as administrator “SDK Manager.exe”
-) Check (if unchecked) the boxes for SDK Tools, SDK Platform Tools and Google USB Driver Package. You can check any others if you want, but for now, you only need those.
2) You (may) need the specific drivers for the device. You can use the Motorola drivers, which work very nice with the Cobys, you can install the drivers from HERE. Just download and install.
3) You need to root your device, for that, I recommend using SuperOneClick, which can be found HERE. Too root your device:
-) Make sure you have “USB Debugging mode” activated. In your tablet, go to settings -> Applications -> Development and check (if unchecked) the USB Debugging mode.
-) Connect your device to your PC, if it’s the first time you connect it, you need to wait a little while the drivers get configured.
-) When your device is connected and correctly configured, run SuperOneClick as administrator, and click on “Root”. Now wait a little while it gets rooted.
4) Last step, backup recovery image. For this, you’ll need a terminal emulator. You can download “Android Terminal Emulator” from 1mobile.com or any other app market. To do the backup:
-) Open the terminal emulator on your tablet.
-) Request SuperUser Permissions, to do this, write
Code:
su
and hit enter/return, you’ll be asked if you want to grant SuperUser rights to the app Android Terminal Emulator, click “Allow”.
-) Write this line and hit enter/return:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
-) Now, a file named “recovery.img” should be automatically created on your /sdcard folder. THAT, my friend, is the file we so desperately need to revive our tablets, now zip it and uploaded to any server. (Please )
Now that you are rooted, you can do things such as installing the Google apps. There are a lot of tutorials over the internet, but, let me know if you have any trouble so I can help you
WARNING: Don’t, I repeat DON’T try to install ClockWorkMod using ANY of the tutorials found over the internet. Those tutorials work ONLY for builds previous to 20110106, and if you try to do it on your device, you are going to semi-brick it (just like we did xD).

I just got it as a replacement under warranty today and have not done anything to it. I am busy studying for finals now but when I get a chance(prob friday morning) I will follow the steps and upload the recovery.img file

Well, no problem. If you do that we'll be EXTREMELY thankful

This might be a stupid question but bear with me, I don't know anything about this. Does personal info get stored on the recovery.ing file? Should I remove apps like the amazon app store or other ones that I have to log in with?

Will the recovery img work or do we need complete lk.rom and mtds.rom? I was thinking the latter/ You can use ADB to get these files? Still pretty much a noob myself, otherwise I wouldn't be using my 7022 as a coaster.

For the recovery, no. You just need to reflash the stock recovery using fastboot. Let's see if this works...

Negative, the recovery.img file contains only information about the recovery partition, which is used mostly to restor the tablet to factory defaults
---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------
IT WORKS!!!! IT FREAKING WORKS!!!
Dude, nduke416, thank you VERY MUCH. You have definitely provided a solution no one did. So, again thank you very much!!!!
for chiefcrewdog:
to reflash it, you just need to enter fastboot mode in your tablet (power + vol down), copy the recovery.img file to your platform-tools directory on your android sdk folder and from there on a cmd:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and that's it, you have your recovery back on your 7022!!

Man, is there a possibility you could upload a backup of the boot.img too? the procedure is the same, just changing the dd command to:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
I could really appreciate it, that way there is the possibility to have custom ROMs on our builds
Thank you!

[ROOT] Nexus 7 Root

I have the IO version of Nexus 7 for the next 12 hours.
Anyways, I've tried most of Nexus 7 root scripts including latest Transformer Prime, Amazon Kindle, etc...etc...
The main problem with jellybeans is that root cannot be attained through /data/local as you cannot move /data/local/tmp directory as most ICS root scripts can do.
Fastest way would be to build a ClockworkMod Recovery then flash supersu zip files. But I do not have the skills to do that, but I do have the device.
If anyone needs adb pull, let me know and also let me know how to do it.

reserved for root tomorrow hopefully, i will post some funny lol photos here.

Hi, long time no write this forum.
I uploaded root kit for Jelly beans.
you can download shell script and archives to do it.

This is only for developers who can read shell script, and understand
what the script doing. It's not so difficult to understand ;-) .

(神)　what is called GOD　　:good:

script
The script didn't work so I am looking into Saurik's exploit:
https://github.com/saurik/mempodroid
If someone can just figure out how to find the offset for exit() and sysresuid() we pretty much have ROOT!
Can anyone tell me how I can find this?

Unn? I tried with newest firmware(JRN84D). and I can see # prompt in command line,
when I use "adb shell".
here is the log of the tool.
http://pastebin.com/Fka5h427
the exploit which used by mempodroid is already fixed. you can't use this tool.
thanks

Looks like somebody may have a solution over at RootzWiki... I can't post a link yet, but look for "pain in the root-n7 root" in the N7 development section.
I have no way to verify if it works... Hope this helps.

Attempted while at I/O
Download: goo.im/devs/birdman/CWM-grouper-recovery.img
After oem unlocking and rebooting....
Quote
fastboot flash recovery CWM-grouper-recovery.img
reboot immediately to recovery
to keep cwm perm:
- mount system
- adb shell
- cd /system
- mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.bak
for root, flash this - static.clockworkmod.com/developer/3654/3095/JB-SuperSU.zip​
I'm here at I/O on the 2nd floor trying to root both of my mobile devices. IU followed these instructions (but doing a "fastboot oem unlock" first) but after I do the flash the CWM-grouper-recovery, I volume over to "Recovery mode" on my Galaxy Nexus and select it, it reboots to a "Google" screen and just sits there forever. I've tried a few variations on the loose instructions but never with any success. Sorry if I'm missing some n00b step.
Update:
It helps if you do a "fastboot erase recovery" before flashing.
CWM-grouper-recovery.img works well for the Nexus 7 once you understand that it is touch driven. I was silly and kept using the volume rocker and power key like the old-school CWMs.
On the Galaxy Nexus S, cwm_touch_alpha2_maguro.img is the go to CWM after you've rooted. On both the "JB-SuperSU.zip" works perfectly.

Now that we have the kernel source from here https://github.com/drewis/android_kernel_grouper
it looks like they have a patch in place to block zx2c4's exploit (Saurik implemented it for us, but I would still attribute it to zx2c4). It appears to be the same quick fix that was implemented on the Transformer Prime.
You can read about the original exploit here http://blog.zx2c4.com/749

I'm not sure what your question is exactly, but I will still try and answer. In the new kernel that is being used on the Nexus 7, it includes a patch to block the exploit that we being referred to in that post.

I've made a guide on the forum that has worked for others. I do not see why you are all trying to find an exploit and such. It was pretty straight forward. Did it to mine, all three of my friends the third day of the conference.

The post about mempodroid was prior to anyone rooting by unlocking and flashing. I just wanted the knowledge out there that the exploit he was referring to had been patched.
Also, for some of us it is the fun of looking for those types of things and it will ultimately help secure the system in the future, as the found exploits are fixed.

When rooted can you still get OTA updates from google? Someone on here mentioned an app that let's u switch between rooting and unrooting to allow updates is that right?

How does this work on linux? Is there a set of commands that can be applied via the terminal shell?
---------- Post added at 12:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------
The following commands remove the root applications.
Code:
adb shell
su
/system/xbin/busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/xbin/su
rm/system/bin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
reboot
The update is downloading now. I'll report back is the phone updates succesfully.
---------- Post added at 12:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------
Well, the commands remove the root option, but the update still fails. I have to root the phone again and see if when I reverse the rooting process the phone will be unrooted succesfully.
Be back later.
For root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30252497&postcount=945

Reversing the root commands doesn't really cleanse the phone enough to make the install of the update go without a hitch.

I got that kernel to go after so many tries but when you try to do root.bat it freezes the entire phone however I do have root access via adb shell from command prompt but that's it and when trying to issue the remount command on /system it freezes also.

that kernal should allow you to root what all steps did you do?

It might be promising however I've been working on this all night and haven't gotten anywhere except for root access within command prompt. As soon as you type root.bat the first thing it does is adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system but the entire phone freezes! I can't seem to get past this freezing crap because you can't do anything with the phone when it freezes it.

If it's giving you root access in a terminal, could you not push the root files that way? Or do you have to remount to do that? I honestly don't know is why I ask. Would love to root this beast, but I'm not a lot of help with the more deep down technical stuff.

You have to remount the system as writable otherwise trying to write a file to system doesnt work, and as soon as I issue the command adb shell mount -o rw,remount /system then phone just freezes but I'm looking into an answer for that but no luck so far.

What is it supposed to do? Is it supposed to reboot? I might be open to trying on mine.

No it's supposed to remount the system as writable because I need to be able to push su into /system/xbin but when I try to it gives me the error system READ only which means I cannot write to it. And if I were you be prepared to lose everything and factory reset in the end otherwise it's not going to hold no WiFi passwords or nothing every time I reboot I need to rein put all the WiFi crap and it's getting annoying.

I'm pretty much where you are at. I don't think DM-Verify is turned off in the kernel but it is a eng one. If you get tired of it just flash the boot.img below and you will be back to normal. It says PI1 but it should work fine if you are on MM. I flashed it on PL4 no problem.

Yeah I already flashed back but apparently I'm going to have to factory reset again anyway because after flashing the original kernel it still won't keep my WiFi passwords saved and I have to keep redoing it.

I'm curious as to why the file system would deny me to mv su from my sdcard into /system/xbin when I'm ROOT... But if I so much as try to mount it as re writable it freaks out and freezes. But I can adb shell mount -o rw,remount / and adb shell mount rw,remount rootfs / with no issue but just that /system absolutely will not.

I feel like it's infuriating because root is right there but just out of reach. I've been using my m8 because I have root and my screen is peeling on my note, so if someone wants to shoot me some instructions, I can see what I get.

I really don't think you should try right now considering that both myself and @Misterxtc know what we're doing already and there really isn't much point in trying to give instructions out just to end up in the same exact situation we are.
And by the way, there is root. It's just in the console that's it!
By the way you can adb pull the /efs/carrier/HiddenMenu from the phone to your computer and change it and then push it back and then viola secret codes in the phone dialer work such as *#0*# and many others! If you do change it reboot before it'll take effect. Also it will remain this way even with doing a factory reset.

I'm sorry but it's a lot of steps to write it follow the video if video show to you black screen tonight i'm gonna to fix this problem

no-go
Tried many times, unable to get past the mounting of /system. Hard lock-up.
Edit: Had root on 7.0 finally. Looked like I was using the wrong sboot. I have too many...
Note: Tried to update superSU after I had everything how I wanted it. Lost root. Had to start over. Use caution...

I have gotten my phone rooted thanks for your help.
Now we need to find a way to bypass the system rw,remount freeze, which I think is being controlled by smu_protection or something like that.

I think you phone now is rooted and you can mount system as rw just start adb
write adb shell then write su it will ask to get root from your device and then retry if doesn't work with download any explorer app like root explorer and you can edit system from it

did you get root in super su ?

It works for the mount /system via adb? because I did it from root explorer but it freezes again, if works via adb, tell me, Im now in the 5.1.1 android rom version

does not work video ((

Tried it on both, including
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Freezing up
Especially with Amaze. Tried to write on the system partition and it hangs until I do a fresh reboot.

Has anyone tried if Samsung pay still works after root?

Ok, I'm in this nougat rom now, but the writable system still as a dream for us. I'll go back to the stock and enjoy of my Samsung apps instead of freezing my phone. Has someone knowledge about change the imei of this device? I want root for this. Or, if you know how to reboot the lollipop rooted rom correctly, can you explain me how?

Unsure if it "works" or not, as I never use it. However... It is bothering me to add my VISA-XXXX to Android Pay after boot. I'd say fairly good chance it does, simply because this root has thus far not touched /system for most of us. I do believe that is the red flag for SafetyNet/Pay (but I dunno. It does ask me however...)
