Hello , i have an Archos 80 G9 250 Gb , is it a way to root the device with the late firmware ? I tried some script but it totally ruined everything ... so please any help ?? :confused:

Thank you gen_scheisskopf , i followed again the steps .. and finally have a rooted Archos !!!
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Yes, you can. Just follow instructions (both in the thread and linked ones) carefully.
[Gen9 Android Development] nilse:
gonna try that out today too :D

just trying not even nearly gonna work, but fail is the first step to accomplish something :p
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Sorry, I've posted wrong link. Correct one is http://gitorious.org/archos/archos-gpl-gen9-kernel.

Anyway- in root dir of kernel sources there is linux.config, it seems that it's gen9 Android kernel config. I can't say however if it's the one used for production and if resulting kernel will work with current firmware.
[Gen9 Android Development] nilse:
ok so i dont need the archos-gpl-gen9,

just the kernel

thanks for the info about the linux.config :D

some other producers of android products have a waaaay better support for developers like HTC dev

think its because archos is not such a big company
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
You're wrong.

We don't have a locked bootloader- HTC and SE allow unlocking for a quite short time and still there are restrictions- not all devices supported, not all operations are allowed; Motorola still doesn't unlock.

We get firmware updates very often- "my first Android" Samsuck (pun intended) i5700 received one serious update (Donut-> Eclair when Froyo was already published) and some 2.1 updates but a)none of them was stable b)all used outdated and buggy kernel c)least buggy FW was a community made mix of several others including firmwares from other phones
[Gen9 Android Development] milav:
i cant download from link please provide mirror thanks need ext4 file
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
I second that. HTC is not that developer friendly, still waiting for some kernel releases, my desire Z had lock bootloader, two firmware updates and still have issues with last one, radio sucks and it won't get ICS too. And afaik, this is still sold and the only one with keyboard in their product line.

Samsung seems a bit messy and changes hardware radically while keeping exact same product name.

Sony impressed me with their last releases, nice hardware, but I don't know how they behave with firmware updates and developer relations.

Archos is not doing such (except the a70it2 mess). They had locked bootloaders too, but kind of weak and easy to crack, gen9 isn't even locked. They provide sde and release source code quickly (well, at least was until very recently). Their hardware and software release dates sucks and their lineup is a bit messy, but for developers, it's quite nice.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
They don't offer unlocking?

Yes, it's the only HTC Android handset with keyboard

Add to this buggy code (SGS II suffers from "AndroidOS bug"- phone doesn't go to sleep unless CPU runs @800 Mhz which is prevented by power managament)

IIRC they were first to allow official bootloader unlock (but not for all devices)

One thing I can't understand is why you can't charge G9 when it's powered off?

Bootloader is THAT simple?

Besides that- I like the hardware
[Gen9 Android Development] nilse:
didn't mean to flame about archos

i really like them, they have qualitiy products at low prices :D

btw. for some SE phones sony even published a alpha ics
[Gen9 Android Development] milav:
crying out loud please help me gimme mirror m dying to root my archos
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Use search next time.

HERE is shrinked archos.ext4 (350 MB, no other changes)

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:07 PM ----------

I'm terribly sorry, it's been a while since I made a kernel.

Use android gcc4.2.1 or 4.3.1, 4.4.0 is the buggy one (I've checked mine envsetup files)
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
using this rooted firmware (I also used the super charge script), the tablet froze for a friend who was using it, she says that it froze so tried resetting it (holding the power button i think) and when the archos splash screen came up it just freezes there. I'm downloading the official aos which will probably fix the problem, but I was just wondering has this happened to anyone else? seems kind of odd for the rooted firmware to work great for a week and then just break once the tablet freezes.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
This is my suspect. Scrpit was made for "standard" Android systems and G9 has a modified one.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
yeah I kinda suspected as well..oddly, when I used the update firmware option in recovery, it worked fine and all, but once the device booted, it showed the "first time setup screen", all my data was untouched though, thankfully.
[Gen9 Android Development] askd:
Hi, iam kinda noob at this "android" stuff.

i did manage to install the sdk and adb correctly and push both files, "the squashfs and ext4" correctly i guess.

but when i tryed to reboot and got into the recovery menu, there's no such thing as "developer edition menu".

i dont know where i did wrong, maybe in the push commands.

any tips? thanks.

sry for my english.

[Gen9 Android Development] askd:
thanks man, can u tell me where should i place the "1" and "2" files?

thanks.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
if you've done all the prior steps, and typing "adb devices" shows your device, you should be able to just extract that file I showed you to your desktop, and click the "rootdevice" or "rootdevice.cmd" file included in that rar, then

That should bring up the dev menu in recovery
[Gen9 Android Development] askd:
****, i think i screw up on this step

Select Recovery System > Developer Menu > Remove android Kernel

i unistalled the Developer Edition menu and now i cant boot the tablet normally, i will go to the recovery menu ... -.-
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
download http://update.archos.com/9/gen9/gen9_3.2.80/firmware_archos_it4.aos to your computer

go to recovery > update firmware

copy the downloaded file to the new drive

then your tablet should boot normally and be unrooted

you'll probably have to re-enable sde
[Gen9 Android Development] askd:
oh, i lost everything :|.

should i do the whole thing again from the start?
[Gen9 Android Development] mambraxneol:
Hello,

Sorry for my noob question, i can't understand how to install SDE?

Thanks.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Use search, besides IIRC suduru_petru linked to installation instructions in the first post

tapatalked from Desire
[Gen9 Android Development] mambraxneol:
Thanks,

I have found the tutorial, but i write :

adb push archos_.squashfs data/media/

i have the answer :

cannot stat 'archos_.squashfs' : no such file or directory

?

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:18 PM ----------
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
1. It is not archos_.squashfs but archos.squashfs

2. Do you run this command in the same directory where qrchos.squashfs is placed? If not- you have to give full path to the file.
[Gen9 Android Development] askd:
Shano56 thanks alot mate, i did it.

Its rooted and working like a charma, all thanks to you.

Thumbs up for this guys, he's the man :D.

Thank you sir.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
Glad i could help you get it working! But all credit goes to the amazing devs who put this together :)
[Gen9 Android Development] lildeus:
okay so I'm new to android I'm usually really good with hacking things especially on apple but this is very hard and complicated i was wondering if anyone could post a how to video
[Gen9 Android Development] lildeus:
i pushed squash and ext4 do i push in the other two
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
Don't push both squash and ext4, pick one. Preferably ext4, and then u boot to recovery and then developer menu, then should be something to click in there that will open a drive on your computer. That's where u put the other two
[Gen9 Android Development] lildeus:
I put squash in developer edition never came up then i put in ext 4 do i take out squash then put ext 4 in also.

---------- Post added at 10:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Also do I already need SDE or what? If i do how can i get SDE
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

You need to put *.squashfs or *.ext4 or *.update but only one in Internal Storage = /data/media/ and in SDE menu you need flash zImage and initramfs appropriate ....Good Luck ! :rolleyes:
[Gen9 Android Development] lildeus:
but how do you get SDE menu
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
HI!

Unfortunately do not understand exactly what is your problem !!! ....and I can not answer exactaly ...:rolleyes:

Most postings in the internet says: Downgrade the FW just works after Fromat Device? So thats why i´m worried, how my Tablet made an Update/Downgrade. But even if this would be possible (downgrade by copy OFW from PC to Tablet) what should the Archos Update from a FW 3.2.79 for a FW 3.2.80? All and even more/newer Software are on the Tablet, Update an old driver ^^? And i´ve checked for new Updates bevore done the firste Update (with 3.2.80) but my FW was "Up-to-Date". Checked disk by Recovery System (nothing shown, so i think, everything is ok) and made an root check (not rooted).

[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Disabling and enabling one of CPU cores is done by hotplug governor for power saving, this is normal behaviour (high cpu load=both cores work, low load=one core disabled).

IMO problems are related to .80 firmware itself (.79 was working better bit there is no way to downgrade stock one)

tapatalked from Desire
[Gen9 Android Development] Speedmastersaxai:
Is hotplug integrated in the CFW? Or why this Option Power Saving is enabled? really bad engergy power safer, if its created an Freezed-Screen. BTW have the feelings, its getting more Freeze Times... But all only hat this when i´m playing games. And how could it be, that one App is running/shown multible?

If I remember rightly as i had the OFW .80 installed (The Point, where i had removed the CFW and Re-Setup OFW) the Bootversion showed - unknown/5.05.000002 - C0x0

2

/ on the first start after update with FW .79 a short time (i think it was shown until the next restart was done) Bootversion - unknown/5.05.000002 - C0x00. After a restart because of Shutting System down, its showing now Bootversion - unknown/5.05.000002 - C0x01 @ OFW .79

I had a good look to that, cause i was searching Pics of the Kernel Version in the internet, and saw, that these number is everywhere other shown.

I have the Archos FW .79 on Tablet installed. That was made by Updating .80 with .79. Should i try to formate device an install OFW .79?

After the first root, i didnt recordnize any Performance loose. Worked good until i crashed Android :rolleyes:.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Hotplug is a cpu clock governor and it is compiled into the kernel

tapatalked from Desire
[Gen9 Android Development] jipee296:
is it safe to use "performance" as governor or i should stick to hotplug?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It is safe to use any of included governors but power consumption will increase- both cores will be powered all the time even if cpu load is minimal

[Gen9 Android Development] Speedmastersaxai:

EDIT:

(Part of) Problem located. I´ve rooted my Tablet and installed Root Uninstaller to see all Folders on Tablet. I´ve got thousends of linked and empty Folders. Also had 3x Firmware installed, but all in one Folder of the FW bevore. Actualy my System was installed in /System/mnt/Storage/ here was my last FW installed. Cause of many fail-loads and Errors, its made empty linked folder. I hope if i´m cleaning up, i can Formate Device and finally can re-setup the OFW. Explain everything...

[Desire General] ezman:
Hi

I set my desire up with the supernova rom but had to ditch it after a couple of days due to very frequent random freezes. (data2sd)

Now I've got Leedroid 3.0.8.2 and that's giving me random freezes though to a much lesser extent.(a2sd+)

The Rom before I used Oxygen with no A2SD and this gave me no crashes but I desperately need the space due to my works email taking up all my storage!

So basically I wonder what I should do next. Is there anything I could try to fix my current setup. Is it worth reflashing? What's the likely culprit for the pull battery freezes?

My SD Card is a class 4 sandisk 8gb.

Alternatively I need a ROM which has

Very Stable!

A2SD+

Sense (Any version) OR…

Equivalent to 'Lock phone after' in Screen Unlock dialog*

*My work requires a PIN but the above dialog stops the pin being required if I have used the phone within 5 minutes!

I'm not bothered about the latest sense or loads of bells and whistles.

Thanks for any help!
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Check Runnymede AIO.
[Desire General] erklat:
I'd repartition the sd card before I do anything else.

SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk.
[Desire General] Dallatorre:
I got a class 6 4gb ad and I tried several ROM all with the CM7 and 1gb part.

I experienced just 1 freeze with the insert coin.

My old sd just burned out on the cool3d

Now I'm on revolution, pretty much visual stunning but have bugs on fast boot :(

Is cm7 extending the memory as you want?
[Desire General] sudkcoce:
Try the rom and kernel from my signature. IMHO the best rom for desire.
[Desire General] moorsey:
Sorry to jump in here, but I had issues along the lines of the OP, your post caught my eye.

I went from an 8GB card to a 16GB card and my Desire would freeze at least twice per day. It sometimes went a whole day, but when I woke up, it would have crashed, always required a battery out and in to fix.

Went back to my 8GB card yesterday and its been fine since!

Is partitioning required to solve this? Would love to go back to my 16GB card!

Cheers
[Desire General] andee84:
Check your sd card, if not - ask sandvold :) he lost one this way. Can be a NAND bug.
[Desire General] u3b54:
Likely to be a problem with the SD card; as others have said, re-format is a good place to start. Personally I'm enjoying the MildWild ROM (3.2). Can't find a lock phone after xx option though, sorry. It's very quick and seems very stable.
[Desire General] stankyou:
Yeah people try this one first. Sd cards can go bonkers sometimes and a fresh repartition/format can do wonders.

via xda app
[Desire General] TEXN36:
just like everyone else has said...repartition your sd...now for the second question I recommend using AN-droid 2.1.0 for a new rom....its stock GB, fast, smooth and really responsive...hope it helps bud...
[Desire General] StylishPirat:
If you're looking for stable and fast ROM with a2sd method, I'll recommend you CyanogenMod 7.1 with int2sd script. It's really fast and works fine on most popular HBOOTS (stock, data++, CM7 r2).

Remember the order of flashing!

first: cyanogenmod 7.1

then: gapps

and after that: INT2SD
[Desire General] Lord Morpheus:
I have MildWild on my HTC Desire, its small enough to fit on the Internal Storage and give you approx 240mb for data/apps or it can be installed on EXT4 SD card partition.
[Galaxy S II General] Suarez7:
seriously what is wrong with people and giving this thread so few stars? get off your high horse and thank the man for his contribution and giving you a short review for what he thinks of the latest leak so far.

i for one thank you sir and i really enjoy reading your reviews of the roms you try and from the looks of it the time is getting closer for a stable version.

one i am looking forward to...(yes i know i said that;))
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Leave it buddy, I am quite happy that I and some other mates here could share these stuffs between you guys and that's all I need.

F that star and that damn thanks meter, I am not up till 3-30 for those damn things but I and my other mates surely enjoy sharing, who cares about what some kids do :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
The first page of this forum has six, yes six, ICS threads, of which five are about this ROM. Since my attempt to have his last spammy thread closed was rejected, I choose to express my disdain by voting 1-star.

Anyway, carry on, having discussion about a ROM in five places in one forum is great.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
What is your eye power?
[Galaxy S II General] Suarez7:
yes but the OP always makes good threads from what i have been reading and gives good throughout reviews on each leak that gets released. Compare to the rest you say i would rate this one and the other one by Farayab.(hope i spell his name right) His is for all the leaks in one thread to be organized and this one gives his reviews and thoughts about the leak. So what is wrong with that? If you want to close other threads then close the other ones. For me this is a really good one and people should show some appreciation for the effort he puts in.
[Galaxy S II General] diggedy:
Ah so your the reason I had to waste my time contacting the admin to ask him to reopen this thread after the last release then.

I for one always look for this thread long before reading the others whenever a new rom is released. Its a useful "one stop shop" for all the relevant info about the rom. Thankfully the admin agreed and obliged my request.

So, to put it blunt, get off your high horse and stop being a prick. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean the rest of us agree with you.
[Galaxy S II General] Ffbf:
If a moderator do not see this thread as spam, just shut up and live with it. Stop act like i spoiled child, report and wait. Theres no reason to rate as 1 star.

Anyway, as always the best review so far, thx OP.
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
Thanks once again my friend....

(5 stars ^^)
[Galaxy S II General] Deleted member 4038153:
Haters gonna hate.

So just to clarify, you think it's sensible to have five places for information about one ROM? Of course you don't have to agree with me, and clearly the mods don't either, which at the end of the day is all that matters. That's why I expressed by disdain by voting one-star instead of reporting the thread. I only posted here at all because someone complained about the thread being given a low rating, and I felt the need to justify why.

Also, I wasn't actually the cause of his other thread being closed, if you read my post, I said my request was rejected.

Anyway, intermission over. As you were.

P.S. The name-calling is awesome.
[Galaxy S II General] elmerendeiro:
haptic feedback works here, in softkeys and in keyboard also, not strong at all but there is...

my issue is that i can't accept the "software update" disclaimer...any solution? freeze the process through titanium backup? tell me if you have a less invasive solution
[Galaxy S II General] sendhiloo7:
You can simply disable the software update from settings => Apps => All.

One more thing you can disable any stock softwares* if you don't want..

This is feature available only on ICS , its not require root access :)
[Galaxy S II General] Brotuck:
Exchange 2010 does not work here.. anybody with the same issues ?
[Galaxy S II General] heldchen:
your posts are about the only ones i care about when new ICS leaks arrive. saves me the time of trying myself. although it seems the rom quality is getting at a point where i might give it a try... :cool:

thanks for your detailed reports, looking forward for the next one!
[Galaxy S II General] elmerendeiro:
I see that they have removed the option where you can set the softkeys backlight to light up only in dark environments...was my favourite, the most efficient, i don't like the other solutions...

Another thing: in display settings - dynamic mode looks weird in this rom, try that, edges become fuzzy...was fine on GB and, again, was my favourite

Last note: touchscreen feels a bit less sensitive to me, sometimes it doesn't register my touches, anyone?
