download CMP-738a-update-2011-01-26-rls4.img. plug in your tab to the pc using the usb cord rename the file above to update.img move it to the root of the internal memory once you unplug the usb it will ask if you want to do the update say yes and it'll do its thing. it'll reboot then start showing info about formatting and installing then it'll go back to the desktop then you atta be able to see the market app. rls5 i don't believe you can do that with you have to go a different route so make sure its rls4 once your up and going then you might have to do the Market Fix its simple and defiantly worth it.

Well, I'm downloading the file now... Is there a definitive method to follow, or is the info above and the info on page 1 of this thread the only instructions I need to follow?
Just out of curiosity, is it possible for me to accidentally destroy the tablet by using this? I've been having a lot of fun playing with it - I've installed a few other apps on it, and my kids really enjoy a drawing app I installed and its great for watching movies and listening to mp3s - I'd hate to accidentally destroy it trying to improve it!
Thanks for any advice you can share!

that's the way I did it and didn't have any problems what so ever. if your happy with the way it is why bother upgrading. i mainly installed it bc i felt limited rooting it gives you more options like the real android market (larger collection of apps) rather than the slide...something...... but keep in mind if you do it what ever apps and things you have saved to the internal memory will be erased so you'll have to reinstall that drawing app and what ever else you use
Thanks for the heads up! Maybe I'll give it a try this weekend.
Re-installing the other stuff will be easy - and maybe this will let me install a good browser - the 'stock' one died the first day, and I've been using xScope, which is OK, but I'd like to try out some others. Also, a better media player would be nice. The stock 'video player' thing kind of sucks.
Thanks again!!

Maybe the file im down loading is corrupt it has a file extention of .7z when i download it . Redownloaded it 3x with the same extention..Thanks for your help would love to get the real droid market running.
All is well the links on the 1st page have a bad extention file name. Ifound the correct file on the 2nd or 3 page.Phew

its a 7zip file heres one that's not zipped http://megaupload.com/?d=RV84C5SC rls3 there was a problem with the wifi but this is the one they have every thing working also look for a browser called skyfire thats the one i live by.
Where is Root?
I thought that this image rooted the device. I see Superuser, but any app I try to use that requires root, tells me my device is not rooted.

that was after installing 4.1.
Just now I installed version 4 and now Root is working.
Nice work! Thank you.

I did not for me. But I also came directly from stock to 4.1. Then, after going to 4.0 it works fine.

Is anyone having problems with the Kindle app? This is a deal breaker...its the whole reason I want this pad. It installs but will not view or download books.
I just picked up one of these.....how hard should it be to connect to WiFi? Im wondering if something with my device is hosed.
It can see a few networks with decent signals, but when I attempt to connect to them it just goes back to saying they are out of range. This was happening while it was stock, Im flashing 4.2 right now to see if maybe something fixes itself.
Any ideas?

Do you have an 'airport' app running? I installed one and it shuts down wifi, so I need to go into menu>settings>wifi and manually re-activate wifi prior to attempting to connect to a wireless network.
I'm going to give 4.2 a try this weekend - I'll let you know how it works!
Also: has anyone had a problem with the pad getting really really slow? Last night, i just started to get unuseably slow, and I had to delete a bunch of stuff I had installed, and I hooked it up to the PC, after which it worked fine. Any ideas?

Shad you can use gamefront (former filefront) it's free uploading and downloading without limits I use that as the others have all sorts of non-sense limits to download a file. What the world is coming too. Was never like this back in the 90's.
So it's a Craig Tablet and not Sylvania one @ CVS. Interesting..
Just called my local CVS 24HR and okay it's Sylvania one, I'll pass..

Guys, as I've said earlier I flashed this rooted ROM - Android 2.2 . It's all good. You must flash this ROM through Batch Upgrader. Download it and run...better if you watch Youtube how to root Craig Tablet, but do the same for the file, which you already downloaded.
It's easy.

Nope, unfortunately, no recoveries.
