Hi !

I am pleased to present the latest firmware version 3.2.80 - rooted and installed busybox !

Is the latest original firmware update and includes , Su binary, Superuser.apk and unique busybox installed into /system/xbin/

These are the files you need :

- zImage and initramfs => http://www.4shared.com/zip/gd_SWiL7/drive.html ( are into drive archive ....drive.zip)

- archos.squashfs => http://www.4shared.com/zip/ieGffz7a/archos_squashfs.html

- archos.ext4 => http://www.4shared.com/zip/j8GO4lKT/archos_ext4.html

Installation is the same as usual the previous update ( ex. 3.2.79 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442683 )

This time is included enable vibrator and adjust sound volume !

( Not need to install : Superuser.apk and busybox from the Market - they are already installed and updated , latest : Superuser - v.3.0.7(41), busybox - v1.19.3, su - v3.0.3.2 )

With respect,

surdu_petru

Wonderful! Thank you :D
[Gen9 Android Development] snowman7782:
great!!!!!

Hey surdu Peru thanks again Tor having the 3.2.80 rooted so fast. :-) i will Update my thread on ``android-Hilfe.de`` then tomorrow. :-)
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Ok ! thanks..lol :)

I'm curious, what makes your Busybox build "unique" as compared to the Busybox builds that are available through the App Store? I'm currently using your stock rooted 3.2.79 firmware (with Quinny's added Busybox and Supercharger instructions) with the App Store version of Busybox 1.9.3, so I'm curious to learn where they differ.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
OK ! you don't understand ...."unique" refers to the fact that there is only one installed busybox into device and proper working !
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
OK ! you don't understand ...."unique" refers to the fact that there is only one installed busybox into device and proper working !

And...you don't need install busybox from market ..it is already installed !!
[Gen9 Android Development] baari21:
Work on 250gb

Will this work on the 250gb or there is still no root on it yet? Thanks
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Sorry but HDD versions are not supported yet
[Gen9 Android Development] Vicente:
Merci

Merci.

Thank You.

A question...

Are you removed new icons (battery, wifi, etc.)

I only can see the original.

Thanks, Merci.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
This firmware is only rooted, icons/nimations were not changed
[Gen9 Android Development] Galaxyace:
Well we will have to wait for the ICS for root or you think something will come up before that ? :)
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
I never included in the official version of things ( stuff ) related to custom rom.

Ok ! really, original firmware is modified but only to allow root into our devices !
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
You can follow the steps taken by master @letama in seeking a solution to rooted HDD version, unfortunately I do not know if he found a solution or not.

But if @gen_scheisskopf said that is not yet possible, then that it is !
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
HDD models have slightly different mountpoints (Media folder is not /data/media), problem is to find where initrd should look for archos.ext4/squashfs

tapatalked from Desire
[Gen9 Android Development] stealthdave:
I see. I think this was more of a translation difference: I read "unique" to mean "built specifically for this architecture" as opposed to "only one busybox can be installed." (Which I do understand. While this is my first Android device, I've been using Linux in the desktop and server environments for well over a decade now.) So the busybox you've included is the standard 1.9.3?

Again, thanks for all the hard work!

[Gen9 Android Development] soulclaimed:
apart from what the changelog states are their any improvements in random crashing etc and does the flash playback work better or is it still causing random reboots and finally i have the previous rooted firmware on my tablet do i have to start right from scratch with pauls root etc ot is it just a case of copying over the new ext?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
For enable SDE you need to start with pauls root tools....after you have SDE installed you can install this root .
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Yes, you are right, is the same busybox v1.19.3 of the market ( ok ok! normal is 'only one ......' but google translate -

Dictionary for (unic)unique :

adjective

unique

single

sole

only

exclusive

singular ')

Thanks...
[Gen9 Android Development] soulclaimed:
when i installed the original rooted firmware ie your previous version i did pauls root and enabled sde and then copied the ext on and then removed pauls root as the previous firware you uploaded has root applied but to do update to this one do i have to do pauls root again or can i just copy the ext as sde should be available still right?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
You have already enabled SDE, ok! now just copy ext4 on internel storage and into recovery copy the two files from the archive drive.zip ( zImage and initramfs) ! Good luck!
[Gen9 Android Development] bothylad:
Thanks for an excellent root, 1st rooting attempt on 80 G9 went flawlessly.

Best regards

[Gen9 Android Development] gahia:

[Gen9 Android Development] arachnid1970:
Hey Guys, i have a problem here, maybe someone can help...after rooting my archos i'd installed the new rooted fw. Till here all is good :)

Now after restart my Homescreen is flickering continously on the right side in Landscape an it seems like the "back button" is activating on its own. Dont know whats the reason, do anybody have an idea?

Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio mit Tapatalk
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
arachnid1970, you lost screen calibration. Re-do screen calibration in Settings/Repair & formatting/Touch screen calibration.
[Gen9 Android Development] arachnid1970:
Cant believe that this is so simple, thanks a lot, mate... is that "normal behavior" ... cause i have to do it after each restart or boot...

Gesendet von meinem HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio mit Tapatalk
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
No, it's supposed to stick once it has been done once, but it happens from time to time that the calibration disappears. At each reboot doesn't seem normal.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Wipe dalvik-cache, maybe it will help (especially if you installed current firmware without data wipe)
[Gen9 Android Development] aaminotti:
Guys,

I´m newbye in archos, I come from samsung G5 (great for alternative roms) but about this G9, nothing.

My question is if I can root and put the SDE in my G9 with 3.2.80 without problems. I´m already look the thread about SDE, but nothing about this rom.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
If you have HDD model- sorry, you're out of luck (unless you are brave enough to be a tester).

As for rooting (and SDE installation)- you have to try, there is no info if expoit used to gain temporary root via Paul's method was patched or not.
[Gen9 Android Development] aaminotti:
I have the 8Gb model. I will try. Thanks!
[Gen9 Android Development] arachnid1970:
That made it, man...thanks a lot :)

been stuck on archos boot screen 10 mins how long should i give it gen scheisskopf ?

its not looping just on boot screen
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
In this time boot screen is changed boot aniamtion ? or is the default Archos boot animation?

sorry...my question is pointless!!! ... I thought you were in custom rom :)
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Something is not working correctly. Did you follow instructions? Required file on HDD must be named archos.ext4.update

EDIT:

suduru_petru, this is life fire test of modified initramfs
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
just default

renamed file copied to root of hdd added inf + zimage reboted into dev mode and waited

ill try again if you wish how do i get to boot back up so i can try again??
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Give me 10 minutes, checking init again

EDIT:

philmein try this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14106051/archos/kernel_hdd_test2.zip
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Good luck !....:D
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
i have booted back up ok

just checked file name and that is good root of hard drive

waiting your response

btw i do not unplug usb cable at any point is this right?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
-place archos.ext4.update on the hdd

-boot to recovery, connect USB

-in Developer Edition menu choose Flash kernel and initramfs

-unzip kernel_hdd_test2.zip onto the drive that will popup on the PC

-select OK on tablet, do not unplug usb (just to be sure)
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
still waiting for boot the on normal boot there is a shadow moving left to right on the archos logo.

i have not seen this shado on either of the tests the archos logo has no movement

when i selected dev edition i heard a quick spin up of hdd for a moment then silence
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Moving shadow is the bootanimation= android boots.

So sorry, this doesn't work as expected.......

Try

adb push archos.ext4 /data/local/archos.ext4

but you must have over 512 MB of free space on /data
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
can you explain this bit more

adb push archos.ext4 /data/local/archos.ext4

i have just rebooted

quick system info says i have 1.05gb of internal storage free is this the 512 MB of free space on /data you mention??
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Copy file straight to internal flash using adb (to the place where init looks for it)

Yes, this is it.
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
i am getting no device listed in adb just saying list of devices but its blank

it was working the other week

got adb going but the command adb push archos.ext4/data/local/archos.ext4

same message with and without the .update

have to go now

just pm me if you need any more testing but it will be tomorrow now

phil
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
HEI!..you need copy archos.ext4.update into SDK folder ...tools/.....

for windows 7 I think is :

C:/Program Files (x86)/Android/android-sdk/tools/ ...copy here near adb ....
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
@philmein

For list your device in adb....conect USB cable and into settings/Applications/Development - check USB debugging, now navigate into sdk/...tools/ > adb devices

....you'll see your device
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
I had to let my lad use the PC now but I am no use with adb if there's an update just pm me

It will be tomorrow up for work at 4.00 am

Regards phil

I'm sure there's lots of peeps viewing this thread with a hdd model maybe somebody will have a go

Somebody with better adb skills than me lol

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

im sure I have tried to move to system before with astro and I get a message saying Java io error read only I wonder if this is the reason the new methods for hdd models do not work?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Android file managers will most likely fail- access to most of folders/partitions is restricted to root.

Try in terminal emulator (free in market)

cp /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

/mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update: not found

$ cp

Usage: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST

$ /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4

/mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update: not found

$ cp

BusyBox v1.7.2 (2012-02-02 01:08:49 CET) multi-call binary

Usage: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST

$ /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4.update

/mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update: not found

$

Tried with and without the word update?

Its only a copy and paste job with terminal so I must have done it correctly
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
In terminal:

mount

and you will get all mounted partition info. Check where is /dev/block/sda1 mounted and use that path for copy operation.

Alternatively- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14106051/archos/kernel_hdd_test3.zip

I've took a closer look into init files, it is possible that mounting hdd in test2 could have caused some logical conflicts (but worked on flash models)
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
No, copy/paste didn't go well, there is a carriage return between cp and the remaining part of the command.

it should be on one line

cp /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4

You should try to type it directly maybe ?
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
I'm at work now ill have a go at 3.00pm

Letama what post will i be working on the one with hdd3 and do i leave firmware on hdd or do i have to move it to system before using hdd3 ??
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
I'll let gen_scheisskopf reply and drive the tests, I just wanted to point that your command was not working because of a carriage return in the middle.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
First take:

-make sure that archos.ext4.update is in the root of hdd

-flash kernel+initramfs from kernel_hdd_test3

-boot SDE- initial bootlogo can stay for about a minute, then black screen for a moment and bootlogo

Second take (if first fails):

-boot Android, in terminal

cp /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4

(this is one command)

-power off and boot SDE- should boot this time
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
No joy I'm afraid tried both methods

Log from terminal

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ cp /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4

cp: cannot stat '/mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update': No such file or directory

$ cp /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update /data/local/archos.ext4

cp: cannot stat '/mnt/storage/archos.ext4.update': No such file or directory

Copied and paste first time in terminal second time typed command
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
In terminal

mount

and please post output here

This is the problem. You can't use .zip.
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
does that mean there will be no custom rom?

could there be a solution?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Unzip the archos.ext4.update.zip file, you need archos.ext4.update

Then reboot to SDE
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
right i unzipped it to my comp do i put it on the root of hdd?

then what next

its 512mb
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It is supposed to be 512MB.

Yes, you have to copy the file to the root of hdd.

Then power off and try booting to SDE
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
just to the sde menu where the options are or try a full boot choosing developer edition?

dont want to brick my tablet by choosing the wrong option
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Try to boot choosing Developer Edition.

You won't brick the tablet, this doesn't touch official firmware.
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:
looking good green android man doing a twirl

Houston we have ROOT

basic root check say i have root

gen scheisskopf i salute you lol
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Good to hear :)

NOTE-do not remove archos.ext4.update from hdd, it will be necessary in case of wiping data (Reset Android option)

So init is correctly modified :)

But we still need further tests (and I have another idea)
[Gen9 Android Development] philmein:

[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
System files were not modified except for build.prop and changes do not affect 3g/wifi.

You can try wiping dalvik-cache (modified init posted here) and if this doesn't help try 3.2.79

Hi

I had the same problem with flash using 3.2.80. I navigated to /system/app/ using root explorer deleted flashplayer.apk reinstalled flash from the market and flash works again.

Thanks to surdu_petru for the above suggestion.

Perhaps this is hardware version thing.

[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
I have a problem..I followed the sde enable guide, and tried adb push (however it appeared to do nothing), and the only options available on developer edition menu are flash kernel and intramfs and uninstall developer edition
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
You DO have SDE menu working. To use custom firmware follow installation guide.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
Here is what I try

run cmd

type adb devices (to ensure device is recognized)

screen displays: A80S-A3497A09 device

I try the following and nothing happens
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Wait, this will take some time (it's 512 MB to be transferred with speed about 3-4 MB/s)
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
hm, I did wait sometime, maybe it wasn't long enough..I figured there would be some sort of output to display amount of data transfers. I will try again and just leave my computer be. Is there something at the end to verify the push is complete?

ps thanks for the help :)

edit- should i keep it named archos.ext4 and use adb push to /data/media as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442683

or rename it archos.ext4.update and just put it on the root folder of the storage as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480906
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Yes, after transfer finishes you'll get a summary (amount of data transfered, transfer time and average transfer speed)

Safer is to use archos.ext4.update.

And btw /data/media is the root of storage, at least for flash version.

If you have HDD- you have to use modified init (instructions in topic)

tapatalked from Archos 101 G9
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
oh that makes a little more sense (about the /data/media)...thanks!
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
And be careful with path, your screenshot showed "data/media", not "/data/media" as it should be. With luck, it will end at the same location, but the proper one is "/data/media".
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
oh surdu_petru used data/media in is guide..oops :p
[Gen9 Android Development] letama:
Oh, he used relative path? I see...

adb should be on / at the beginning, so it should be equivalent, but I always prefer absolute path to avoid any mistake.
[Gen9 Android Development] schmo90:
hy what do you mean with vibrator enabled?

are you able you made changes on the kernel?

is it possible to add the ability to overclock to 1,5ghz?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Some of G9 units have vibrator motor installed (it's not mentioned in official specs) but it's disabled by default.

Current sources are somewhat outdated so there is a little chance to make a worling kernel for current firmware.

Without proper kernel sources there is no chance to OC. IIRC Omap4430 was designed for max 1.2 GHz, higher speed may be not possible

tapatalked from Archos 101 G9
[Gen9 Android Development] schmo90:
are you able to try it?

or can you give me tips to start working with the kernel source?

iam self a software developer but i have no idea to start^^

due to the archos homepage the processor with 1,5ghz is the same as that with 1ghz

• OMAP™ 4 ARM CORTEX multi-Core A9 - mit 1.0 GHz oder 1.5 GHz Taktung

• 3D OpenGL (ES 2.0) Grafikbeschleuniger

so it have to be possible to overclock without issues....
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
Grab sources- Gitorious (official Archos release)

Get crosstools- gcc4.4.0- not newer- bugs inside- from Android (check "prebuilt" project in CM repo manifest) or other (I can recommend crosstool-ng)

In terminal make all necessary exports (arch=ARM, path to crosstools/bin and possibly crosstool prefix).

Get some defconfig for OMAP4 platform (SGS II uses the same cpu) and use it as a base.

For required kernel modules check /lib/modules (on tablet) and make changes to

config (make menuconfig)

Then "make"

Not exactly. Turbo models use OMAP4460 while non-turbo OMAP4430 (same cpu, different max speed)
[Gen9 Android Development] schmo90:
thanks a lot

it seems i need a linux os^^

i hope i have a free evening in the next days to try it out ;-)
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
If you just want to try out Linux you can use virtual machine line VMWare or VirtualBox
[Gen9 Android Development] schmo90:
this was my plan too^^

can you upload the files again maybe to rapidshare?

your hoster wants to register me...
