Troubling installing the firmware on the Coby I am having difficulty installing the firmware on my Coby Kyros 7015. I thought it was my PC but I tried it on my laptop with no success. Any suggestions?

Yes, my 8gb and 4gb cards are both SanDisk SDHC cards. The one in my phone works perfectly fine. Is the firmware update really necessary? I haven't really seen what's in it? I imagine if they went through the trouble to put out an update, I should install it, but there again I'm hoping they'll be coming out with an upgrade to the newer operating system since 3.0 should be coming out this year. I just don't know what else to try to get this update on my machine just shy of exchanging it for a new one. I'm kind of afraid to do that since I read somewhere else that a gal exchanged hers only to be given a used one that someone else returned.... So darn frustrating. :/ Yes, my 8gb and 4gb cards are both SanDisk SDHC cards. The one in my phone works perfectly fine. Is the firmware update really necessary? I haven't really seen what's in it?

There probably isn't a need for the firmware upgrade - I couldn't find an explanations of what the update includes. The table works without it. So if yours is working and you don't notice anything unusual - than don't update. :)

I have only had my Coby for a little over a week and decided that doing the firmware upgrade was probably a good idea. I noticed mine wasn't on the most recent release. I figure that they have probably had a few of these machine instock for a while so the firmware wouldn't be up to date.

I don't know if the Archos is better than the Coby -- all I know is that it's **** near impossible to find and, if you do find one, you're going to be paying through the nose. (Used models on eBay are going for more than the list price for a new one, and new ones...don't ask!)

It was suggested at another website to first check to see if your tablet requires the update by checking the current build number on your tablet. Here's the pertinent info:Before update:System Info - from "About device" in settings:Model number: MID7015Firmware version: 2.1-update1Kernel version: 2.6.29 Root android 2.1Build number: MID7015 1.6a_20101105-2After update:Build number: MID7015 1.6a_20101124-3Mine shows the updated build number so I haven't attempted an update. I haven't any issues with my tablet other than the appslib giving an error message but this was corrected by updating appslib from their website....took about 30 seconds to do it.

Hi,We have no idea. We received these from Moultrie 3 weeks ago so we believe they would be the latest version. We were not aware of a firmware issue.Thanks,

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup, since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available. Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.

root it. and then install the Watery kyros Rom. With that ROM, it's made my tablet much more responsive and the apps just run smoother. Totally worth it.http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/coby-tablets/

I have installed the device, works well. Now I need to purchase a package. the web site will not let me in, I have called the numbers left a message no response yet. Can any one advise me on what to do from here??

I got my BD-P2500 today. They first thing I tried was to upgrade with BD-P2550 firmware. I tried both CD and USB methods. Unfortunately the player is clever enough to know it's being upgraded with the wrong firmware. Upgrading with the correct BD-P2500 firmware worked fine.Too bad. So sad.

Let me say this, do not even think to purchase a Coby Kyros Tablet, it is the worst brand in the technology. I bought three Coby Kyros and they crash within three weeks so if you do you will regret it!

You can't fix it. Unfortunately others report the same issue. Coby only has a 90 day warranty on this item.

I got this same message upon setup. Never got to download anything. Sent it back. If it had these issues right out of the box it was faulty and not worth my time. Sorry.

It looks like LG did correct the problem with the firmware upgrade. I did the firmware upgrade thru my wireless network just couple days ago and it came thru successfully. I was thinking if it failed, I'd do what Matt suggested. You might want to give it a try again with the upgrade. I'm going to rent a blue-ray movie, hopefully it won't freeze.

The data needed for the Coby MP3 to operate was already located on the MP3 player. I purchased two at the time. Not knowing any better, before I downloaded my music to one of them I deleted the firmware and that MP3 player would not work. I then copied the firmware from the second MP3 player onto the first one, and now both work.

Bought mine 11 months ago. From around the time of the firmware update of Dec 7th 2012 it has been abysmal - the usual connecting/retrying/initializing network. I've done all the factory reset ops to no avail, as well as the usual with the network. No other devices on my network have issues. Came back to Amazon to check the latest reviews and lo and behold - I see tons of new radios with the same issue. In one review you see Grace acknowledging a firmware issue - but I have to ask WhyTheF haven't they either 1) reverted back to the previous-good firmware version by global release, or 2) enabled users with problems to install the previous version via the USB slot. You can clearly see how many of these units were purchased for Christmas here and returned to Amazon as defective. According to Grace's comments in this review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1LDJTD7SEV60R/ref=cm_cr_pr_cmt?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B004YI9NTS&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful ===== I apologize for the frustration you are having. A recent software upgrade affected a small percentage of our customers. Unfortunately, our core software engineers are on holiday. They will be back on Monday and will work diligently to create a software upgrade for any customer who is experiencing this problem. ===== So I either waste time going through their support site and file a ticket, or hope that according to them the imminent release of good firmware will come. If you're having the connecting/initializing/retrying loop, rather than pulling your hair out thinking it's your network - consider if might be the bad firmware.

Did you try to update the firmware? My firmware version was very old out of the box, and the device keeps freezing and crashing and disconnecting. But after updated to the latest version, it works perfectly! �

Hi Megan:My experience with Coby was bad! I would not buy Coby. I bought a Sony Walkman A series touch 16 GB mp3/mp4 player and I love it! It runs with MEDIAGO software that you can download from Sony free. It keeps a very nice library on your desktop that is easy to use. I love my Sony touch!
