I upgraded to Cyangenmod 2.2 Froyo on my Kyros, but I decided to downgrade back to Eclair. So I wiped/factory reset. And restored my backup with 2.1 Eclair. I was able to root but I was unable to install clockworkmod recovery. And after doing more research I found that flash_image command is not in my system/bin folder so I'm unable to use the command in adb. I tried copying a flash_image.zip which i found on the forum to my sdcard so i could be able to copy it to system/bin but I can't because it's read-only. The only thing i cant think of now is change the permissions on system/bin directory and copy the flash_image file there, but how to do that??? And if that doesn't work what else can I do??
I tried downloading the update.zip from coby and copy the flash_image file into the file since coby removed the flash_image from the new update. When I tried to update from the the update.zip its giving me verification failed. So its impossible to modifiy the update the file without verification failure. And the old update file isnt working either, seems that when you update the to the new update.zip it prevents you from downgrading.
Solved!
I got it. Make sure your device is rooted, and you have SuperUser.
I downloaded Root Explorer, mounted the "system" directory as RW and then change the permissions on the directory, (I ticked everything, basically full access), then did the same for the "bin" folder. Then I copied my "flash_image" file what I got from my old backup and copied it to the "bin" folder.
I undid the permissions and flashed the recovery.img (which installs the ClockwordMod) with adb and then I was able to install the Android Market and Google Apps.
Got it solved on the same day, just didn't have the time to post it.
Please help ( i'm afraid i bricked the coby 7015)
Hi guys !!!
My coby kyros is in permanent bootloop . The only thing I can do is make it enter into recovery mode ( the original from coby stock ) . I did wipe data and cache but when I try to recover from update.zip it fails because I am using a modified version of this update that was intended for rooted devices - ( so in recovery mode it does not work since it needs the upadte from original stock )-
Is there a way to flash the correct update.zip to the coby via Windows XP ADB ( I have tried to use adb shell but it list no devices and I followed all the steps from another post to install the USB drivers for adb and it worked , but adb list no devices ) - HELP PLEASE
Thanks in advance

Hi guys !!!
I resolved my problem simply rebooting the PC and adding an adb push command to copy the correct update.zip in the sdcard

Can you please dump the system as I want to see what has been changed/updated from 2.40. It's actually quite simple, no root needed, just run this command through adb in Windows. Zip the folder and upload somewhere
Code:
adb pull /system c:\system

I've been stupid enough and replaced my modified build and local.prop files on B310 ROM with the ones I've backed up from my B121SP06 ROM and after I've rebooted the phone it just stays on "Honor, powered by android" logo. Is there some way I can't replace those files with the originals before the intervention ( I have them on my SD card)? I can boot into recovery or in bootloader, also I can flash CWM recovery.

I had also problems with these two files.
Install cwm on your phone and start your phone in cwm-mode to use adb
in cwm you have to mount system, data and cust
open a command line and use adb as following:
"adb remount"
"adb pull /system/build.prop" --> this will download the build.prop-file to your local folder, where your adb-file is located. At this point you can also download another file like your mentioned backup of the build.prop. for the local.prop-file you have to use: "adb pull /data/cust/prop/local.prop"
When you are ready with changes on the two files or you just want to upload the right ones to your phone back use this command:
"adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" and/or "adb push local.prop /data/cust/prop/local.prop" --> it will copy the file build.prop or local.prop from the local folder, where your adb-file is located to the phone.
After uploading the files to your phone you have to fix permissions:
"adb shell chmod 644 /system/build.prop" and/or "adb shell chmod 644 /data/cust/prop/local.prop"
reboot your phone via cwm.
This is how it worked for me. I hope it will help you too. :fingers-crossed:
By the way, I'm actually looking for a stock local.prop-file for the L04 (from the firmware B109SP1 or B114) or the L12 (from the firmware B118 or B607). Do you have one of these?
Thanks for the reply but I've already succeeded flashing B313. I've been trying with "adb pull" command but it was saying "no device found " or something similar.
My phone is H60-L02 so i don't have the files you're looking for.
Context : This problem may arise on stock or stock based ROMs when you uninstall stock system keyboard. The phone will boot up to the lock screen and will ask for password to start android but click on the text box doesn't pull up the keyboard even if you have another one installed(not as system app) so, you can just access anything. This is because system will try to pull only the keyboards installed as system app.
If anyone's having this problem, here's the fix.
FIX :
Download stock(mostly you need AOSP one) keyboard apk based on your android version from any browser on PC.
If you got the AOSP one, rename it to its package name i.e., "com.android.inputmethod.latin" or if you downloaded stock one which is not the AOSP one, rename it to its package name.
Boot your device to TWRP(recovery).
Move it to a micro sd and insert it to your device. (OR)
If your device doesn't support sd card or if you prefer adb, you could use adb push.
Code:
adb push -p *package-name*.apk /sdcard/
Make sure that the apk file is in the adb folder.
In TWRP, go to file manager and select the apk and move it to /system/app/ (make sure you have mounted the system in twrp).
Reboot to system and Cheers!
