Rooting a Coby Kyros MID7042-4 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know how to and have the files for it? I made the mistake of purchasing one for my bestfriend who looking to join the army and its a piece of ****.
The majority of the apps either won't install (from amazon getjar or 1mobile) or stop working. the camera doesn't work with anything nor can any app or website find a location. I want to return it be he refuses to let me as "its a great gift" in his opinion.
I've looked online for the instruction and files but every site that I seem to find is offline.:banghead:

Did you try SuperOneClick?

I'm also looking at this tablet, to go as my car stereo, but will definitely not do it if there is no root. I'd almost bet that this root and recovery work with this tablet, as well...

[Q] NFS Shift

I have a nfs shift apk that works great on nook. Can i post it on here for others to download . Its not the one from the market. I downloaded it a while back for my vibrant. Don't recall where i downloaded it before.
Is it a paid app?
Nope do not post here dude, you will get banned.
@funkyreuben
Because yes it is a paid app so it is illegal. You can PM people who want it, but don't post in the public forums I guess. If you get caught though, thats your own business.
K wont be doing that then. I've read here n there that the one I had was free. Idk Its the app that came on a phone. I think it was a droid or something not sure.

Hmmm, well I think if you get it from the market it has to be paid. No hard feelings though

If you could PM it to me, that'd be awesome
I would also be grateful for a working apk.
Would like to try this out as well.
Thanks!
You guys trying to get XDA sued? OP was told the app is a paid for app, not to be distributed here, and you're still blatantly wanting to share it...
If you want it that bad, google is your friend, but please don't screw up a good thing (XDA).
I was actually trying to figure out how to get an app that has been paid for but not showing in market working on nook....would love it on nook but i would like it on there the legit way like on my g2

There should be some sort of "fair use" where if you've purchased it you can install it from wherever you can find it but I'm gonna guess that most people would just do the second part and forgo the first.

Need help improving the basics

I have purchased a G Tab for my folks, it came with cyanogenmod installed but this is way to complicated for them. My thought would be to go to stock and install CWM and the market. Could someone throw me some suggestions how this should be done. I had installed a rom on one of these several months ago, for my daughter, but haven't seen it sense
Thanks
Check out a website called gtablet for dummies. I've been reading up as I plan to get one of these for Christmas. This forum and that website have made my choice of a tablet simple.

Good call. Already done and solved my issue

How do I erase purchased apps from the android market?

I downloaded a hacked version of Deadspace onto my Nook color because it wasn't compatible in the market. Now I want to purchase it at the great price that it is, and it says that it is already purchased. It won't let me pay for it. Before you guys get all over me for a pirated app, I just want to say that I agree with you. I usually purchase an apps if possible. Unfortunately, most good games aren't compatible on the market, or gameloft for the nook color. I just want to buy the game for my rezound, and don't want to create a new account to do it. Does anyone have any advice on how to reset the purchased apps list? Let the flaming begin. Thanks

I searched this the other day becuase I have a lot of purchased apps that are 100% useless. If I remember correctly you cannot delete them, but there is some sort of option at least in Android market (don't know about Google Play now) that allowed you to hide apps you didn't want to see any longer.
I don't believe there's a way to clear the purchased apps list. If you remove it from your device it should go away, just be sure to back it up with Titanium or another program if you do.
I'm pretty sure I have read something about "breaking the Market ties" with Titanium. I think that's what you're trying to accomplish, to make the Market not think you have purchased it before and from what I gather that's what that would do.
This is the solution:

Thanks for the good advice, and being nice about it. This is why I am proud to be a member of xda. I will try this solution when I get home, and report back. Really, thanks again to all of you who answered without giving me a bunch of attitude.

Thank you for the link hshah. I pressed the thanks button too.
A very easy workaround is to add a second Google account .

good try
im pretty sure you're not going to get any help here.
if you did in fact bought the app, you already know that you can redownload from the market (google play) without needing to repurchase the app.
Market often tells me I can't download an app (uninstalled) it considers I have it installed; sometimes even saying I've already purchased it if I haven't had said app yet... screwy

Yes it erases when you do a factory reset. The market knows if you've bought it or not and should automatically install it when you connect. If all else fails, you should have your reciept in your gmail account.
I wish they would give you a trial version just for the simple fact its so expensive. But dude, no1 is going to give you an apk of someone else's work, especially work that is a PAID app on the market.....If you really want to do that a quick google search of "SPB Shell 3d free apk" will get you what your looking for.
Since you purchased the app from the Play store and it's currently installed, I'll let you in on a little secret - Titanium Backup. If you already have the app purchased and installed, just back it up using TB to your SD card. Format all you want, then reinstall TB from the market (since it's free, the store should let you download it how many ever times you need to). Just point TB to your backup folder, then restore the launcher. Just as long as you're rooted when you install your new ROM, you'll never have to worry about downloading the app from the market again.
If you're wanting someone to give you a copy of the APK, good luck finding your ROMS and help on another forum.
Here's how you do it: you don't. Even if you're rooted, installing a launcher from the store will not un root you. It would need root permission for that, and you cash tell it no. If there is an issue email customer service. Don't ask for wares or black markets. It will get you banned, in more than one place.

As a programmer by trade, and you sicken me OP. Do us a favor and leave XDA pronto...

Not the normal question about rooting!

Hi XZU users.
First post here since I moved from the GT N7000 forums.
Just a quick question about achieving root on our devices..........and it isnt "how does I get root".
Maybe someone that is way more intelligent than me can help but............ Every other phone I have used or rooted has been via an exploit found or created by the wonderful people here on XDA. Usually all packed up nice in a trustworthy file, whether it be a handy one click app, a bin file to auto run some adb method or a small auto root windows program.
Why is the only available root at this time via this Chinese websites programme?
Please do not think Im asking for another root method. I understand the complexities involved around android development. Thats why I dont do it.
Just wondering.......

I totally get what you're saying. I was a huge skeptic, and i even talked to Chainfire to see what he though about vRoot (the rooting app in question). He hasn't looked at it, but he doesn't really trust chinese software, and i'm the same. But, i rooted it with vRoot, and i can't say that i've found anything unusual after rooting, and trust me; i've looked -like a mad man.
We have no idea how it works, but it works, so some people have spent a lot of time making this, so it would be kind of weird if it's malicious. If the app pulled info from the device, and didn't root, then it would be a catastrophy.
Im the same.....Just dont trust Chinese software.
Do you think if someone had the skills that the vroot app could be "reversed engineered" as such. Broken down to see what info it takes from our devices.....maybe even see what exploit its running to achieve root?

I did actually try that I found the right tools to decompress and decompile .EXE files, but that was totally chinese to me. I had no idea what i was looking for, or at. We'll need a dev of some sorts to check this one out. You can also install a "tracker" on your computer to see what the app does in real time when it roots your device. There are several free programs that can do this, but i have never used one, so i don't know how complicated it is.
