icon is in list for super user

 

[stef234237]

next step ?

 

[SonySony]

next step ?

Thanks for running RootChecker. And installing SuperUser.
--- Did SuperUser say anything About BusyBox? Was BusyBox iinstalled?
I need to do some more thinking/research before next steps. Just Check Back from time to time.

 

[stef234237]

I dont see it so what does super user do ?

 

[SonySony]

I dont see it so what does super user do ?

SuperUser is like the Administor User on your PC. It allows you to make changes to your system that are otherwise Restricted. Most tablets/phones Restrict the Systems level files. That is where the Android Apps are Installed. So if you can gain acces to the Systems Level Files, you can > Make changes> Add / Delete Apps> Etc.
----------
TRY THIS - CLICK on the SuperUser App you installed on your MID9742
Grant all permissions and download busybox if asked. ??? Did it work?
What happened

IF so, Run RootChecker Again.

This tablet is a muthafugginpaininthears ! Ok, I'm having different problem running .bat file from my gateway lappy, win 7, 4 gig RAM, bla, bla. I run the bat file and it seems to be flashing page after page of "failure to xxxxx" or whatever the messages are. I then continue directions on reboot, open MARKET app and it hangs for about 15 seconds before force closing. After that it continues to force close. I already had gmail installed and it works. Am going to try to unistall market and try bat file again. Will report results.

 

[SoCoolAZ]

I can't cut/paste the .bat file but it is def saying that it is failing to install any of the .apk files. ugh

 

[SoCoolAZ]

its failing to install any of the files in the extracted ICS folder.

----- THIS FIX DID NOT WORK ----

I noticed that both SoCoolAZ and Steph___ had already installed some google apps before trying to use the script. --
Maybe a Full Factory restore may help the script to work.
Then Download and Run the GooglePlay ICS Script.
---------------- UPDATE


The downloaded file contains the files needed to install GooglePlay on your Coby ( MID??42) Ice Cream Sandwich Tablet which is really just a Generic "ALLWINNER A10" IceCreamSandwich Tablet.

Download the following file to your PC Desktop > Unzip the File > Find the ReadMe file and follow instructions. Download "IceCreamSandwich-4.0.3-Google-Play-Script.7z" from HERE

-------------------------------------------
"""" If you can not unzip the file, Download the free 7Zip Program. from HERE
Install 7Zip program to your PC. Then Right-Click GooglePlay Script file you downloaded above and Extract To: the choice that matches the filename """"""
Open the ReadMe File and Follow instructions.

[SonySony]

If you already have GooglePlay installed -- try this: resetting the application by going to "Settings > Apps > PlayStore > Force Stop > Clear Data (then Restart tablet)

 

[SonySony]

Two of the Latest GooglePlay Apps to Try: Download File Links
-- Google Play Store v3.5.16 [Original] (Vending-3.5.16.apk) – Vending-3.5.16.apk

Some People Believe that the Coby IceCreamTablets may Be Pre-Rooted (Shipped Rooted)
Lets Give It A Test. The RootExplorer App is used to Navagate and Make Changes on Rooted Android devices. If RootExplorer works, then the device is rooted. (Right ?)
Download Root Explorer from Here: Ndroidware: Root Explorer (File Manager) v2.19
Install RootExplorer. Open Root Explorer.
Do you see the SYS folder ? SYSTEM folder? Can you open the folders? If so, you are Rooted.
.
is the app "busybox" present in either folder ... /system/bin -OR- /system/xbin ??

No you can not use the Installer. -- I Updated in RED Above
( this is a special version of the vending.apk }
YOu have to use the RootExplorer to Do It Manually (Do not use Installer)

When you open Root Explorer does it say "SuperUser Denied? or Superuser Granted?
When you open superuser app, does does root explorer appear (does any other app appear)
Doublecheck where BusyBox is installed system/bin or system/xbin
