ok WhoDunnit, I'll try.

UPDATE

Nothing to do....

I followed all steps and when I must reboot after flashing rooted kernel my A101IT remains in the Archos animated logo screen. It seems that boot well but after 1 sec it returns to the Archos animated logo screen.

I don't know....

UPDATE2

I discovered that I can't boot using SDE firmware...It seems that boot well but after 1 sec it returns to the Archos animated logo screen.

When I try to update 2.4.19 firmware I got this message: Update failed: (214).

Any idea???

Thanks

Rocco

Accelerometer: apply calibration right away without requiring a reboot to take effect

PTP: fix USB host camera support
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
That doesn't sound too promising. At this stage I can only advise you to do whatever you can to get the device booting in SDE again. So start from scratch: remove the extra ext3/4 partions made and format the discs using the recovery menu, remove SDE, and then install again using Chulri's method from the start. At the moment forget about ext4 until you get your system up-and-running. I can also advise to try UrukDroid to get your system running if the above mentioned method failed (just try it to get the system running, you don't have to stay with Uruk if you don't want to).
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Right. We have to wait for the release of the updated kernel sources. Until then, I cannot update this kernel.
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
updated for firmware 2.4.65

I updated the kernel for firmware 2.4.65. Details and download added to the first post.
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Is it just me or is the UI messed up in 2.4.65? I lost my battery and wifi notification bar icons and the tabs in applications are all orange. Anyone else experienced this?

update: OK, my fault, I messed with the framework-res.apk. Removing it in union-fs solved it.
[Gen8 Android Development] fzelle:
no, everything looks like before

Hi WhoDunnit

Any chance of a firmware version for 2.4.80

Regards

Milton (aka Set_The_Tone)
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
I've requested for the updated kernel sources. As soon as I get them, the kernel will be updated.
[Gen8 Android Development] misters:
hello,

do you have anu news about the kernel sources ?

Could you please update your work with the latest firmware 2.4.81 from 6 december (a newest update since 2.4.65 & 2.4.80)

because this one solve the battery use problem.

Best Regards
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
kernel sources for 2.4.81 have been commited on 9th of december: http://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen8-kernel/commit/34ad4724f729feecfa9989eceb284765765c1918
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Kernel sources for 2.4.80 were never update as far as I know, but here is your requested 2.4.81. Although I have to admit, I did not test it yet, so please report back.

Edit: ok tested and validated it myself now. This version seems more responsive than the previous firmware, so I definitely recommend this update.
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Thanks for the heads up chulri! I had my stuff already compiled, but I was waiting for your new initramfs file. I just read your post on how to get it myself, so I cannot use that as an excuse for late compiles in the future! So sorry to hear you're quitting archos; but I fully understand.
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
Well I found someone who does my work, initramfs already ready for being downloaded :) keep up the good work
[Gen8 Android Development] cwkchan:
Thanks, but could you write some guide that how can i modify the kernel by ourselves to let it can be overclocked?

And I wish to add iptables on my device, how can I do it?

Many many thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Please read post #2: it tells you how to compile the kernel, and how to add iptables to it. Iptables is compiled in the kernels I supplied in this thread (that was like the whole point of this kernel :D).

What you need to modify to overclock the kernel, that I cannot tell you. You could try to find out what sibere did for the Urukdroid kernel, or look at other overclocked kernels.

Good luck.
[Gen8 Android Development] cwkchan:
Thanks a lot, I'll try this tonight;)

---------- Post added at 02:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Sorry, as I'm not familiar with linux, is it possible to complete it on windows?

Or do I just have to install a terminal in windows? Any good suggestions?

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
@cwkchan install ubuntu in a virtual machine like VirtualBox or VMware Player
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Sorry, I cannot help you there. As said in post #1, I can only assist with linux boxes. I am sure it is possible on windows using windows, but the easiest way would be to install a virtual machine running linux on your windows machine, just like chulri suggests.
[Gen8 Android Development] misters:
hello WhoDunnit :)

i have iupdate all to 2.4.81 with your files, and i confirm it is working like a charm.

Thank again for your job.
[Gen8 Android Development] arpruss:
OK, I did this, with some changes.

First, I backed up my data partition. In an adb shell I did:

If you don't have tar installed, get a good busybox and do:

Then, I did all the recommended stuff, except that it was a 1.25gb partition. But before changing init.rc as recommended, I did, in an adb shell:

Then in init.rc, instead of changing any of the mount lines, I added:

I installed the new init.rc

I rebooted. Then I extracted my backup to /mnt/newdata:

I then edited init.rc, and removed the standard /data mount line, and replaced /mnt/newdata with /data in the line I had added. And I rebooted and made sure the device was working.

Finally, I moved all the apps that I had moved to external storage back to internal memory:

(Actually, that process is still going. I had 99 apps moved to external storage. That was really slowing down my booting, which was why I went for the big data partition hack.)

And of course, to make sure new apps get loaded in the new partition:

Two questions:

1. This leaves 256mb of unused flash in the old data partition. Would be nice not to waste it. One option is to put the dalvik cache on it. Any better uses for it? How does it compare in speed to the new partition?

2. Doesn't the normal kernel include ext4 support?
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
I have only tested this on A70it, and only used the internal disc for that. So the base speed of the different partitions should be the same. However the filesystem used might make a difference. The simple benchmarks I did showed me a definite improvement for the ext4 filesystem with the flags I've given over ext3.

I'd go for moving dalvik cache to the old data partition. That makes a nice separation between apps and cache.

For sure the firmware up to 2.4.65 did not support ext4. And I had to set those flags myself in 2.4.81, so no: ext4 is not supported in the official kernel.
[Gen8 Android Development] arpruss:
Maybe the best move would be to repartition the the dalvik cache partition as ext4? That would require a cross-compile of mkfs.ext4 and tune2fs, right?

Edited: Maybe not. It might be better to keep it at ext3 in case you need to reboot with non-rw root to repair things.
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Indeed don't reformat cache partition to ext4: upgrading firmware could give problems.
[Gen8 Android Development] misters:
hello,

Could you please update your work with the latest firmware 2.4.82.

Best Regards
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
I have requested an update of the available kernel sources to version 2.4.82. If I get those, I will update this project to the latest firmware and kernel version.
[Gen8 Android Development] misters:
Ok Sir

thanks by advance :)
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
updated to firmware 2.4.82

I added the kernel for firmware 2.4.82 to the first post.
[Gen8 Android Development] misters:
hoho

many thanks :o)
[Gen8 Android Development] Inciner8Fire:
2.4.83

Hi

Could you update this to 2.4.83?

Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Kernel updated to firmware version 2.4.83. See first post.
[Gen8 Android Development] Inciner8Fire:
Thanks
[Gen8 Android Development] robert_jacketti:
Thanks for the tut! My archos 101 is better than new!
[Gen8 Android Development] Flecksz:
Dunno, but for me on T101 (Archos Gen8) after i flash your kernel and initramfs - touchscreen doesnt work!

used 2.3.84
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
Are you sure you updated your system to fw 2.4.83 AND afterwards flashed my kernel and initramfs for fw 2.4.83?

Please confirm that you touchscreen did work after flashing firmware 2.4.83 (did you test it) but failed when you next you installed then new kernel.
[Gen8 Android Development] Golomidov:
Hi, all

WhoDunnit, thanks for great tutorial (and pointing out to the chulri's one)

I am trying to compile a kernel with iptables support INCLUDING nat table - for transparent proxy (orbot).

Clean (default) kernel compiles ok, some modules when included also compiles ok. But when I include full nat features (ip connection tracking) - kernel compiles, but when booting it forces device to reboot (never loads :( ) The same situation if I include that feutures as modules :(

How can I get boot logs? How can I analyze what goes wrong?
[Gen8 Android Development] WhoDunnit:
I tried adding more iptables stuff to the kernel, but it just resulted in bootloops as you have found now. As I stated in the first post, $aur0n and woti23 found out what could be included in the archos kernel to get iptables running. You might have better luck asking them why it does not work, and if anything can be done to get nat table included. Good luck!

Hi all,

The official 2.3 cannot be downgraded or rooted, even with a goldcard you will get "main version is older", so i suggest you not te be stupid like me and install it!

DONT INSTALL OR YOU WILL BE SCREWED LOL

Sincerely

[Desire General] nickislauw:
wont.. i tried using a goldcard and says: main version is older..

And running the RUU will result in nothing since my phone is branded qq lol
[Desire General] Embattle:
Why are you trying to remove it any way?
[Desire General] nickislauw:
cause i need root and custom rom etc;)
[Desire General] m4rtynn:
Do you need to get s-on and stock hboot etc before running the RUU. I need to unroot so would running the 2.3 update be my quick and easy way to get it back to stock. I'm vodafone uk and don't have a goldcard lol
[Desire General] pilgrim011:
Rooted ROM: link.:)
[Desire General] nickislauw:
you foolish.. i cant install that!!! dont hestiate this thread please
[Desire General] Lothaen:
yes it would flash back to stock and debrand I think - but you won't be able to downgrade/root/flash custom roms at the moment.
[Desire General] m4rtynn:
Cool thanks!
[Desire General] pilgrim011:
I think you are foolish - that ROM is a proof that official GB ROM can be rooted.;)
[Desire General] nickislauw:
well someone can explain HOW to lol
[Desire General] Lothaen:
well the rom can be rooted, but you want the hboot so you can install some other recovery i imagine? :)

yes.. i just need customrom

Why u run an ruu that have an hboot upgrade??

Probably no one will care to update unrevoked to root that hboot, as no one will use it, as the rom can be flashed without run the ruu and without update the hboot...I hope, for you, that im wrong
[Desire General] Drug_Store:
So apparently there´s no way to root hboot 1.02 at the momment... :(
[Desire General] tdmtmanu:
i have the same problem :(
[Desire General] bortak:
Instead of flashing the RUU, why didn't you just extract rom.zip, and take out the "boot.img", "system.img", "userdata.img", and flash it using fastboot commander?? that will give you the new update without changing hboot... It's what im gonna try to do anyway xD

EDIT: okay that didn't work. Gay.

Boot flashes okay, but system and userdata don't. Probably different partition sizes on new hboot.

Any chance someone could upload the ruu's extracted rom.zip? I want to flash it but don't want to get locked in to the new hboot etc.

Man, back to fake-flash on the Desire! On the Plus side, now have permaroot again...
[Desire General] Lothaen:
open the ruu at the first screen that wants you to do 'next'

open %temp%

do a search for 'rom.zip' in the subfolders of that folder.

you must be missing something...

or clear everything out and run it again - its definately there with about 100 other files

Strange, as the partitions are:

Sys 250M	Cache 40M	Data 147M on the 'old' stock Desire

and the new /sys in the ruu is 250mb - thought it would fit?

HOW did you managed to s-off?
[Desire General] gerhard_wa:
There's yet another user in the Gingerbread Changelog thread that says he flashed the ruu and it didn't overwrite his s-off Revolutionary HBOOT. I guess this means that they must be able to get root in some way?

gingerbreak may/may not work to get temp root?
[Desire General] fred_be9300:
I read somewhere on XDA that it's got to do with having a "downgrade protected" HBOOT (see alpharev.NL) before running HTC's gingerbread RUU.
[Desire General] mikey242:
I didn't do anything after I installed the RUU, in fact I actually assumed I lost my s-off until going to my bootloader where I noticed it still said alpharev at the top. Needless to say I was s-off'd prior to updating.

Must have been a protected hboot...

[Desire General] andQlimax:
I guess u had s-off with latest alpharev hboot..It is 6.93.1002 the version of ur hboot? In this case the ruu didn't update the bootloader, infact that alpharev hboot require the downgrader hboot to be changed..U had luck ;)

Did you read the first post and the comments in this thread? :)

If you flashed the ruu, there is no way to root ur phone now..U have to wait some new version of unrevoked or alpharev or alpharev x..Is not a so short wait in my opinion
[Desire General] dandelionsland:
i know what you say

I mean that there isn't another ruu rom that can be installed

to access root again

I don't want to root stock ruu
[Desire General] andQlimax:
What i mean is that flashing that ruu, now ur phone is completely locked.

U can't flash any other ruu, or flash anything else, or root ur phone..U can't change that rom, untill unrevoked or alpharev release a new way to root the new hboot u flashed with the ruu

after root with the new tool, u will be able to change rom ;)

[Desire General] andQlimax:
August 9, 2011 at 11:23:57.123 CET time

What do you think? When someone will found a solution..Maybe some days later, weeks, months or never if htc fixed all the holes on the new hboot..

Now I ask you some questions too; if you previously had root permissions, why did u decide to run an unknow ruu? Why didn't u wait a bit to see what happen to the other people? Why u didn't think 'how if running this, i can't go back or brick my phone' ?

I hope for you that soon someone will found a solution, but stop asking if when and so on, opening threads everywhere lol ;)
[Desire General] jukethehitman:
I made a mistake like this once "I upgraded my wildfire to 2.2" had to wait months for a rooting option lol. Ever since then i havnt updated anything without checking first :). You lot had it coming lol :P
[Desire General] iLHaNroID:
...why so angry?

1-I did not open a new thread.

2-I'd never rooted my phone, ie stayed 'official' all the time and my expectation (like many others) was just to keep it stock with better performance together with Sense 2.1 and when I read comments like "app2sd feature improved with this update" and some other positive expressions of others who already applied the update, decided to get it. Now seeing that this "official HTC GB" is really a disappointment and just wanted to get experts' opinion/guess on when we may expect a solution. Sorry for the inconvenience btw.
[Desire General] jukethehitman:
Are you saying that official froyo is better then official gingerbread? The only reason froyo is better at the moment, is the fact that you can root it and install custom roms. But you dont want do to that right? So why go back?
