#Root : Use Framaroot 1.6.0 app for rooting.
Download it from xda-forum,open it and click on
"Boromir" then reboot your phone. Now your w70
is rooted successfully and you'll get Superuser
app in your app drawer.
#Install Busybox : Download and open then give
superuser permission,then click on Install. Keep
your internet connection on. You'll see Busybox
is installed on your Symphony W70.
#Install TWRP and take a backup of your stock
ROM :
Download the .img file i provided and put it in your phone
storage. Just phone storage,not in folder.
Download Mobile Uncle MTK Tool from
playstore.open it and give root permission. Now
click on Recovery Update and later,click on
recovery.img. Now a promt will appear,click Yes.
You'll be asked Reboot To Recovery? Click OK.
Now your w70 will reboot in TWRP recovery,here
click on backup and mark boot,recovery and
cache then slide to backup. It'll backup your
entire system,data,cache,boot.img and recovery.
Now after backup completed,reboot your system.
Go to file manager and open your memory card.
You'll see a backup folder is created named
TWRP,don't delete it. So,if your w70 is bricked
any time,simply pull out battery then put it
back,press and hold both power button+volume
up button. Your TWRP menu will be out! Simply
click on restore and your backup will be restored.
Now you can reboot your phone!
#Change Storage Partition : You know that
w70's phone storage is only 2 gb. That's why
you can't play HD games with size of above 2GB
like GTA San Andreas,Gangstar Vegas,NOVA 3
etc. And to play games in w70,the game data
must be kept in phone storage. Don't worry,with
this trick you can turn your entire memory card
into your phone storage.
©Things needed:
1.TWRP backup[strongly recommended]
2.Es File Manager
3.A small file called vold.fstab i provided
4.Some idea of system partition
Now download the file i provided and Put it
somewhere. Now open Es File Manager,go to
tools>root explorer and give root permission.
Then again click on root explorer ans click on
Mount R/W. Mark both dot as R/W and save it.
Now copy the extracted vold.fstab and paste it
in device/system/etc. A promt will appear asking
to overwrite,click yes. Now reboot your phone
and voila!....Your external memory card is
showing as your phone memory!
Thank You!

I bought a used Hero that's already been rooted. I wanted to backup the ROM on there so I installed ROM Manager and it flashed my bootloader image.
Obviously now I don't have the proper recovery image, I have the ROM Manager recovery image. As far as I can tell this image doesn't allow me to do stuff like Clear Dalvik Cache, reset my apps and such.
It does allow me to install a custom ROM -- I installed VillainROM -- but it doesn't let me actually clear my data on my device. So Villain runs like laggy crap because I can't do a proper factory reset with the image. It also didn't delete any of my settings or apps.
Am I missing something or do I have to redo the root procedure to get the proper recovery image back?

No no,... You should be ok to just reinstall the patched recovery.
Try following these instructions from BTDAG's [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 14/04]
Installing a recovery image:
1. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications - and make sure "Unknown Source" is ticked.
2. On your phone, go to Settings > SD card and phone storage - click Unmount SD card.
3. Then click Format SD card.
4. Plug the phone into the computer via USB, then pull down the notification bar and click on the SD card notification. Then click mount.
5. Download this APK and recovery image and save it to your computer:
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec - FlashRec.apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 - Amon_Ra’s Hero Recovery Image
6. Copy them both to your SD card (do NOT put them inside any folders on the SD card, just put them on the SD card itself).
7. Unplug the phone from the computer once they are downloaded to the SD card.
8. Go to the Market and download ASTRO File Manager or any file manager program if you do not already have one.
9. Open the file manager and find the FlashRec apk file and click it and choose open app manager and then install it.
10. When it is installed click Open. Click on Backup Recovery Image and wait for it to finish. If you get "backup failed" response see the "Ib. Installing the correct HTC ROM" section for more details, if the backup is a success carry on.
11. Once done, click on the empty text box in the FlashRec program and type:
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(replace exact name as new versions come out)
Then click on the Flash Recovery Image button and wait for it to finish.

Warning, you are the only responsable if your phone is inusable because of applying this tutorial. Don't do that if you don't know what's you do !!
So, if you accept the risk, here is what I did on my milestone XT720 (European) running android 2.1-update1 to have Link2SD :
What's you need :
Into your phone
Application AppInstaller (on market)
Application Universal Androot ( here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=378559&d=1281616832)
File ext2.ko (in sd card : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10866898&postcount=8)
Into your computer :
Programm MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition
When you have that, you can start
1) Install all previous app and put file ext2.ko into your sd card
2) Connect your phone in pc on sd card access mode ---> Notice : it's better to use a computer card reader
3) Partition your sd card into 2 partitions with MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition : 1 in fat32 and other in ext2 (partition in ext2 is used for your apps)
4) Disconnect your phone of your computer
5) Install Universal Androot with AppInstaller
6) Launch Universal Androot and root your phone by clicking root button
7) Install Application Root Explorer (from market) or another file explorer or you can use adb too
8) Launch Root Explorer, click on R/W button and paste the ext2.ko in /system/lib/modules/
9) Install Application Terminal Emulator (on market)
10) Launch Terminal Emulator
11) Type /system/bin/su
12) Accept superuser request
13) Type insmod /system/lib/modules/ext2.ko
14) Install Link2SD : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919326 (UPDATE : Now available on PlayStore)
15) Launch it and it will work
Release of link2sd on my install was 1.2.1.
Upgrade to 1.4.1 added option to move dalvik-cache
Upgrade to 1.5.0 added option to have a second partition in fat 32, so step 7 to 13 no more needed in case of you format in fat 32.
Post if you find any mistake on this tutorial.
UPDATE : In most 2.2 customs ROM you simply have to make 2 partition and to create a link2sd folder on your second partition.
For that, open root explorer, go to /sd-ext and create folder link2sd.
UPDATE 2 : For CronosX 2.3.7 ROM :
-Make 2 part into your sdcard
-Install Link2sd from market and transform it as system app (Simply move apk to /system/app and reboot)
NOTICE : You will probably lost all installed app : to avoid that you can PROBABLY copy all your old ext part in first sd part and then move that to /data/sdext after you will achieve last step.
-Remove 05mountsd 07app2ext 11link2sd from /etc/init.d/
-Reboot
-launch Link2sd
Thank you very much,I will try to do this. I think this is the only application missing on this wonderful phone. Thanks again for your efforts.
i want to have a try
It seems that i have to download ext2.ko first
hi..
i've made it! but i'm using FAT32 Format as my 2nd partition.
Would it make any different in performance or anything if i'm using Fat32 as my 2nd partition instead of Ext2 format?
thank you,

I never tryed but I think that you will not see any difference because in stock 2.2 (on other phones) I mean that apps are moved to sd that is usually in FAT32. More, use a FAT partition is more easy because you don't need to insert ext2.ko.
Tutorial was for ext2.ko because it was the only way to use link2sd with link2sd 1.2
Thanks in advice bro...
newbie will try soon...

Are you using Root Explorer? If so tick that button on top right corner to R/W and not R/O. /system is a read only file unless you change it.

what's the difference between Root Explorer and Explorer? I'm using Explorer. is it the same? and also,what button are you talking about? I don't find any button. or is it because I'm using Explorer? thank you.

The button is a big part of the difference. By default /system is read-only. Root Explorer uses root to remount read-write and has a little button at the top to toggle write mode on/off. Explorer doesn't have the root features.

oh. okay. thanks a lot. but is there any way that I can install Root Explorer without having to purchase? if any,please tell me. but if not,then I guess I'll need to purchase it right?
Might want to try Astro but IHO Root Explorer (and Titanium Backup) is well worth the purchase. I use it several times a day.
I think File Expert also has root functionality, but I haven't used it myself.
try super manager, works perfectly fine when i tried to make system read write and i managed to edit something in the system partition. btw its free!! (it looks slightly more user friendly than root explorer) hope that helps!
how long does it take to download the Root Explorer after I've done purchasing it? I've been waiting for like,half an hour already. it's stated here,'authorising purchase'. I'm from malaysia.

Half an hour is too long. Go into setting->applications->running services and shut down Market. Then re-open the market and go into My Apps and you should see Root Explorer there. It should say Purchased. Just click on install.
Or
Go into setting->applications->manager applications and find the market. Clear cache and clear data and then re-open market and go to My apps.
One of those two should work. Try #1 first though.
Is anyone aware of or developing a custom ROM for this device? Or are there any ROMs out there for other devices that will work on this tablet as well? Finally, I need to know how to install CWM for this device as the standard one from the Market does not work...
Thanks!

dbeauch ,
just noticed your location , I was raised in Milford , wow
Here you go
Restore to 4.1 working google play and root
Download file from here
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fixhl34x7qr13v6/1125.zip?dl=0
Copy entire 1125.zip folder to desktop
Extract 1125.zip to desktop
Install PdaNetA4170.exe driver ( This should allow you to transfer files with Fastboot )
This is Version 4.17 installer for Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (both 32/64bit)
Extract CWM recovery img_1125 folder to desktop by itself ( Do not remove any files from this folder )
Move zip files from zips folder to micro sd card and insert sd into tablet ( leave these in zip format !! )
coby_gapps.zip
coby_mid1125-seed-0012.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Also move apks from apks folder to MicroSD card
Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk
Busybox.apk
Link2sd.apk
and
market-helper-2.0-beta.apk ( this will allow spoofing of market for not compatible apps )
Open cmd window
( menu , run , when window opens , enter “cmd” without quotes )
Cd to directory
ie ,
type in window
cd desktop , ( enter )
cd CWM recovery img_1125 ( enter )
Now place 1125 into fastboot mode , power ( or reset button ) and volume down , tablet will show fastboot mode in lower left corner
Plug in usb cable to pc and tablet
Then in cmd prompt type
fastboot boot recovery.img ( enter )
It will show some stuff , flash ok and done ok
Tablet should boot to CWM give it a moment to do so ( You will see CWM Recovery Top hat and such )
Volume up is up , Volume down is down , Home ( Silver Button ) is select
Go to and select flash zip from sd card
This will pull up menu of following zip files
Flash each zip file
coby_mid1125-seed-0012.zip
coby_gapps.zip
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Select reboot
Tablet will boot ,again give it a moment ( You will see Coby and then Android splash screen )
Select language from first screen ( as it will be in Dutch ), finish setup of tablet
Open ES File Explorer , go to tools setting in ES File Explorer and select
“Root Explorer” to on , allow when Super User prompt shows , this will prove SU is installed and working
Open ES File Explorer , Select sdcard top right , Select storage
Install Google_Play_serv.ices-signe.d .apk ( To sync Play Store )
Install Busybox.apk
Install Link2sd.apk
Install Uni-init+v1.0.apk
Open Uni-init+v1.0.apk , install intd support
( you will need busybox installed first for this to work )
You now have working Play Store , Superuser and Android 4.1 with Intd support
For Extended memory ,( You need this )
Increase Internal Memory by Link2SD : Min 2 GB microSD
In order to add memory to Coby 1125, your micro SD card used for install will need to be formatted
Copy all files you wish to keep from micro SD to desktop as it will be wiped
• Backup all your files on memory card.
• Go into the Recovery Mode ( as above , fastboot boot recovery.img ) ( Your operating system will be fine )
• Make a nandroid backup at this time
• Select “Advanced”, and then choose “Partition SD Card”.
• Then Choose your size ( if you have a 2GB Memory Card, choose 512 MB, and if you have a 4 GB Memory card, you can choose 1024 MB, ext ).
• Select 0 Swap.
• Wait for the process to finish, and then select Reboot
You’ve just made a partition on your memory card, and its ready to use.
Now follow the steps below for Link2SD
• Open Link2SD. You will be prompted to choose between ext2,ext3,ext4 and FAT32.
• Choose ext2
• Select OK ,
• It will then say, “Mount Script Created”.
• Now you Reboot your Tablet
• Open Link2SD again, if any message does not appear ,it means you succeeded.
• Go to Link2SD > Setting( far right top icon ) scroll down > Check the autolink. (to automatically move apps upon installation).
If you already have some apps listed , select “create link” ( be sure to check the files: app, dalvic-cache, and library files).
Move to SD option only moves app to SD it does not link them
Now to check the memory, select “Storage Info” . this will be showing you up the current status of your internal memory.
You should see as below SD Card 2nd Part
To move a system App you can long press App , it will pull up menu , select convert to user App let it do its thing
Select App again and it will open option to create link as installed user apps do
So far I have moved Calculator , VPN , Music FX , ES File Explorer and Sound Recorder with no issue
Use Link2Sd and (long press) on SystemUpdate.apk ( /system/app/SystemUpdate.apk ) and freeze app.
This will stop System Update from happening at random moments or on reboot
There is no Update to install though the System thinks so (without freezing it will continue to show updates available)

I don't get this how can I open cmd on my tablet?
I have the Omega 6 ROM installed, now i wantet to make a backup of the efs partion but it always tells me that it has no root, i also have busy box installed but it doesent work. USB debugg modus is also on.
does any one has a clue ?
thanks a lot
Do u have superuser app installed and are u using a file manager that have root.
Otherwise try "ES file manager" from market.remember to grant root permission
Copy the efs folder to your SD ,then zip the folder and upload to dropbox.if u don't have a cloud then send to your mail account.rename folder from zip to apk to save from your mail account to the pc
yes i have the superuser app, i use root explorer but how does this helps me with the efs app on my pc? the programm did't make a backup yet so there is nothing to copy to my pc yet. Or can i copy the efs partion myself without the need of efs_pro?
thanks,
