[Q] Rooting Coby Kyros MID 7036 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm a nube and trying to root my Coby Kyros MID 7036. I get as far as using the adb shell command: chmod 0755 rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin ./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin. After that, it gets stuck at "adb connection will be reset. restart adb server on desktop and re-login." Then I close the elevated cmd, open a new one and restart the adb server. Typing in the same adb shell command, I get past "adb connection will be reset", but my device is marked as offline. I end up having to restart the device to get it online, but then I just repeat the process! What do I do?

Try this when it prompts you to restart the connection - don't close the terminal and use:
adb kill-server
adb start-server
and then try and continue.

Im getting some errors and not able to complete loading the custom recovery :(

I can't seem to get the custom recover working on my eris. I followed the "adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.img
4. Close the command prompt and turn off you phone."
to the tee and everything seemed to work.I didnt recieve any error msg on the cmd console but when I boot up holding the Vol+ and power I get and Android under a ! in a triangle and a message that says "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command then I only get 4 options and none of them are to flash a rom so I always reboot system. I really want to put a rom on here but I have no idea what went wrong. Im sorry if this is a redundant post. I combed a hundred of them and couldnt find anything like this. Thank you for any help in advance.
Oh and before I forget I tried the adb fastboot bootloader version as well. Everytime I do it it sits in the command console stating "waiting for device". Im plugged in so I dont understand what Im doing wrong.
Curious to know... are you using windows or mac? have you tried:
adb shell reboot recovery
to see if that does anything?
Maybe you have a different version of the recovery saved than I do, but mine is named "recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img"...maybe you just had an input error somewhere along the line? forgot a capital letter or something? I had the same error myself and following the directions I got the recovery image back
Im running windows 7 and I have both recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img and the recovery-RA-eris.img. I have been using the v1.6.2 and I just modify the command to look like this "adb push recovery-ra-eris-v1.6.2.img /sdcard" How would I use adb shell reboot recovery would I just sub that in place of something? kinda getting discouraged because I have tried this 10x now. I have checked and the usb debugging is on and I do have the eris 2.1 root and not the leak. I wonder is there any way I can flash this with something from the droid mkt place like SUFBS? Or maybe change a rom's name to look like an update zip?Just looking for ways to make this work Im so jealous of everyone that has got it to work.
here is another question and it might be that this is why its not working with the fastboot option but on this website's walk through thefuzz4.net it states to "You will have FASTBOOT highlighted in red like it is here" Now Im not a pro at this but what does this mean? How do I highlight text in the command shell? I would post the full url but since Im new it wont let me post urls yet.

when hes saying fastboot will be highlighted in red he's referring to booting your phone into the standard recovery mode (when power is off) hold volume up and power.
Walking Taco seriously love that name. The only options I get when I hold down vol+ and pwr is 1. reboot system now 2. apply sdcard update 3. Wipe Data/ factory reset 4. Wipe cache partition and all are in purple and at the bottom on the phones screen is "E:Can't open/cache/recovery/command"
The website fuzz4net says to:
WINDOWS USERS
From your tools directory in the sdk do the following command
adb fastboot bootloader
You will have FASTBOOT highlighted in red like it is here
Now on your computer do the following
Fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
Ok after that completes pull the battery then power back up with Vol Up + Power to enter recovery
But when I get done ...after the last step the cmd.exe window states <waiting for device> any ideas? Thanks for helping too. Leave it to me to hit a snare
almost forgot when it gets to <waiting for device> nothing happens I literally have left and come back 3 hours later and no progress was made

I honestly don't know man, I would factory wipe it and try and start from the beginning. I followed the fuzz's instructions and was rooted in less than a half hour. Sorry brother.
Thanks!
ROOTED!!!!!! Here is what I did:
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery-ra-eris.v1.6.2.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.v1.6.2.img
This was not working until I deleted the spaces in between img/sdcard for all the commands. Then and I do not know why but when I would turn odd my phone the vol+ pwr on it would not work so instead I used the adb shell reboot recovery command like droidfreak suggested then BOOYAH the custom recovery was loaded thank you all for helping me.

Help with S off

I really need some help here. I am very close to facepalm s offing my evo 4g lte. I am currently on meanbean rom v.3.09 and I'm having trouble using commmands in the adb shell whenever I try to reboot into the bootloader during the facepalm s off process. If I enter "adb devices" before typing "adb shell" and then "su" after then It shows my device like it normally would. However if I enter the adb shell first, then It doesn't show up in the devices at all and If i try to run a command it gives me an error: device not found message. Can anyone help me with this?

I had to manually go to bootloader and fastboot and issue the commands. Mine would not reboot via the commands. My supersu would also not allow adb root access until I upgraded to supersu pro.

ADB sideload weirdness

So with my Verizon G3, when I enter ADB sideload in TWRP it disconnects the device from the shell.. If I cancel the sideload and do a 'adb devices' command it will show it connected, but as soon as I enter sideload, run the command again and there's nothing..
Anyone have a similar experience or solution? This is very annoying

How to fix adb (error:closed) and fastboot (waiting for device) in cmd

Hi there!
Please help me...
My Infocus M210 is rooted and I've edited the build.prop from a build prop editor to speed up internet data connection but the editor goes wild and changes everything written on the build.prop then forced my phone to shut down and when I start my phone, it stuck at boot loop.
I've already wipe data/factory reset on its built-in Android system recovery <3e>.
but I think its the worst thing that I've done.
Coz I thougt it disabled debugging and removed root permission from my device.
I've used Apply update from ADB.
I tried to sideload stockrom.zip but when its completed sending on my phone, then says "installation aborted" I've tried different ROMs but same result.
I have also tried shell commands:
adb pull /system/build.prop
adb -d -e -s <serialNumber> shell am start options -D
but all shell commands doesn't work and says "error:closed"
So then I've tried Fastboot mode
but my devices wasn't found
so I have followed some threads and watched youtube tutorials:
So I removed drivers via "usbdeview"
Then installed Fastboot device/ Fastboot interface drivers manually.
but I almost tried all drivers from official to many google drivers
but still my device wasn't found in cmd
says "waiting for device"
Now I'm thinking if there are some tricks to fix adb "error:closed"
or try different computers for fastboot
I already used my Windows 7 64-bit from my friend
and Windows XP 32-bit from my friend
Please Help me...

Question How to unlock device using adb prompt when the display has been smashed?

Hello everyone, hope you're fine,
Unfortunately, I had bad luck and utterly smashed my device display (Samsung Galaxy A72) which has a PIN to unlock the device access.
My problem here is that I'm unable to accept the authorization for adb connection, just can't touch the accept popup (which I suppose is "being displayed" on the broken screen).
There is by any chance, a way to send a touch signal using the adb prompt?
The current status when I try any command except the
Code:
$ adb devices
is:
Code:
$ adb shell
adb: device unauthorized.
This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set
Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.
Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.
In case I can get this resolved, the next steps would be to try to send the adb input keyevent accordingly in order to unlock it by PIN.
Thx in advance to anyone who is able to help
Note: I'm using Linux or Mac, so MS Windows wouldn't help too much.
