Coby kyros mid 7042 root from windows

This describes the process to root this device if you get the error permission denied in the steps provided by pimpinEZ about /dev/block/nandg.

Here are the original files: http://www.etcwiki.org/images/c/c0/Kyros-7042-Root-CWM.zip

my modified procedure

• install android drivers as the guide says
• enable developer options
• check ADB in device manager
• install root.bat
• open superSU, update and check that it works
• get android termnal emulator on the android itself
• open it and run these commands:

   su
   chmod 777 /dev/block/nandg
   chmod 777 /dev/block/nandf

• Now run the .bat file to install the recovery
• in terminal emulator run the command

   reboot recovery

if it worked, youll start up to clockworkmod

Start of quote from that site

I'm trying to make this easier for newbies. Credit is do to Vampirefo, Steev, Saurik, Fun.

This zip contains a root exploit thanks to Steev, and a script for pushing CWM recovery thanks to Vampirefo. is a one click deal! Just extract the folder and choose your .bat file. root.bat is used to just gain root and should work on other gen3 Kyros. root_recovery.bat is used specific for the Kyros 7042, and will root the device as well as push CMW. I've included SuperSU for theme flow reasons.

Update... If you get the following error

Installing CMW recovery... /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh[8]: cannot create /dev/block/nandg: Permissi on denied done dd: can't open '/dev/block/nandf': Permission denied reboot: Operation not permitted

try changing these lines in the root_recovery.bat adb.exe shell sh /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh to adb.exe shell su -c "sh /data/local/tmp/install-recovery.sh" It is good practice to make a stock backup (Dump) before doing any modification to your Kyros Tablet. Root maybe required. Credit to Steev. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/...s-fw_dump2.zip
