Hi !

I am pleased to present the latest Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.5 (4.0.3) , now with Su, Superuser & Busybox installed !

In this rom original files have not been modified. Were added only Su & Superuser for Root access and Busybox for other stuff !

These are the files you need to install root version :

- archos.ext4.update in archive ICS_405.zip => https://hotfile.com/dl/150045208/fe18703/ICS_405.zip.html

- zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in archive drive_405.zip => 1° http://www.4shared.com/zip/FSL2xCXY/file.html 2° http://www.crocko.com/946E5915D1214957BD66756BAEE56623/drive_405.zip

Installation :

- copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage ( /data/media ; /mnt/storage )

- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Mernu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop

- ok ! and wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android update system for a while .....be patient !

This Root version works on all tablets gen9, is stable and can be used as a daily ROM !

( For not to expect too much between the two download ....now you have the option to download drive_405.zip )

If you have problems installing this root version , then you can thank him ( @Shano56 ) and please visit => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542058

Please Surdu remember to put the zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in a mirror.

Thanks in advance

thank's

(no problems until now. works fine)
[Gen9 Android Development] Dabaum:
Tell me I'm wrong.

In the midst of trying to install this firmware, I did something stupid, and may have bricked my tablet.

I did a "full reinitialization" (not through SDE) within the stock firmware after installing the custom ROM, rebooted without letting it finished, and thinking nothing was wrong, I removed the Android kernel. Now it won't go past the Archos logo, and I can't seem to get into recovery mode.

Is there any way to fix it, or am I boned?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

You can try so : press power for 10 sec. until the green led light goes out ....now : connect your device with USB cable into desktop/laptop and while you press volume down , press also power and wait for expected to enter into recovery (SDE) ....here you can do Format System->Reformat Device -> I understand -> ok! and copy original ICS 4.0.5 .aos file in the new driver that will appear! Good luck!
[Gen9 Android Development] Dabaum:
THANK YOU. Oh man, you are a lifesaver. Hopefully this can be of use to someone else if they decide to pull a genius move like I did.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

Be careful to installation !....you can really break your device ! Not disconnect the USB device and not randomly press keys while you try to flash something ....Good luck !:rolleyes:

surdo_petru,

is normal to keep getting firmware updates notifications from archos after installing your 4.0.5?

im getting those(besides that everything is working and normal :D )

cumps
[Gen9 Android Development] psiman24:
You shouldn't as its the latest firmware already.

Are you running SDE or stock as this only updates SDE and you need to boot to SDE not stock to access it. Best way to check would be to check if Super User is installed and check if its rooted (stock won't be but SDE will).

Psi.
[Gen9 Android Development] sleepingman:
psi,thanks for your reply.

yes im using sde version and i have root,everything is normal and working except that notification
[Gen9 Android Development] psiman24:
Is the firmware version 4.0.5 in the settings>about tablet menu?

Seems strange as I have same firmware installed and even checked manually for update and says its up to date. :confused:

thanks anyway
[Gen9 Android Development] idimintu:
Not sure if its me but updated from your 4.0.4 deodexed fw to 4.0.5 rooted and can only mount SD card with a reboot. If I unmount and then reinsert the card it does not give the option to mount unless I reboot. I have tested 2 cards which both work fine in my SGS.
[Gen9 Android Development] theguy:
I've not tested this extensively but make sure the 3g is enabled prior to turning off the tablet. Then turn the tablet on and you should be able to enable/disable the 3g without any issues. When you want to turn the tablet off or restart make sure its turned on.

As I've said I've not tested extensively but this should work.
[Gen9 Android Development] anshar666:
I get the update notice too? I'm on 4.0.4 rooted can I just apply the update over that? will I loose root?

hello surdu, i have an achos g9 101 turbo i rooted with latest 4.0.5 but hdmi dosen't work, with ofiicial firmware works ok . what to do?

cheers
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi !

I have not tried HDMI yet ....but if it still no work and you use it...flash official 4.0.5.aos ! ....I will check later ..!
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
if you are on 4.0.4 why are you posting to 4.0.5 thread :P

yes you will lose root if you update officially. either delete /system/app/aosupdate.apk I believe, or freeze or uninstall firmwareupdater in titanium backup
[Gen9 Android Development] psiman24:
Thanks for the reply but I found the problem. Its a Hardware fault with the USB connector as I cant access USB flash drives either. Sending it back to get a replacement under the warranty.

Thanks all for the help :)

I have already updated to 4.0.5 with Archos official firmware.

I followed the steps (as I have done other times) but when I reboot nothing happens and Android continues unrooted. Can it be that update does not take place when you already have last version?

ICS4.0.5 et le ICS BLUE

Alpha

Hello everyone ..

I will start with a BIG THANK YOU for all the work is done here with a special mention for SURDU_PETRU is really great all the time you give to the evolution of our shelves and I have good phones directly to you because:

Last night I installed the ICS 4.0.5 with the root and everything is good tees go, excellent, and yes .. but

When you complete the BLUE 4.0.5 with this it just cancel the ROOT ..

I have therefore to reflash the title "zimage" and "initranmfs" and handed the Roma by the shower, according to the protocol and therefore recover my root.

I note that even by reflashing the ICS 4.0.5 ONLY the BLUE and this but if you reboot the tablet is the ROOT departed, there is a concern, then I guess

I have done something wrong or not seen ..

Normally one of the BOOTLOADER ICS4.05.5 is "inconnu/5.05.00003-c0x01" passing over the BLUE it passes "inconnu/5.05.00003-c0x00"

and therefore even by reflashing again the ICS 4.0.5 build does not go down in "inconnu/5.05.xxxxx01".

Am I alone in this, and what should I do to awaiting you reread, Jessee
[Gen9 Android Development] jessee49:
ICS4.0.5 et le ICS BLUE

Re bonjour.

I look at my installation videos, movie, because I all I did.

I deceive the BOOTLOADER is ok.

Xxxxx00 well in all cases and not xxxxx01.

But I can confirm that the ROOT of IC4.05 is left.

since the installation of: BLUE ICS.

And if I reinstall the 4.0.5 ICS: ICS BLUE is still there.

And when I switch off and back on the shelf.

The ROOT has disappeared, what should we do?
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

I think you do something wrong !!!

...but let me explain a little :

- first ... please install original Archos ICS firmware_archos_it4.aos ;

- now copy archos.ext4.update/archos.ext4 in your device ( Internal storage or /data/media or /mnt/storage );

- go into SDE ( shut down device.... and while pres down volume, press power ), here do -> Recovery System -> Developer Edition Menu -> Remove Android Kernel ; than go to -> Developer Edition Menu -> Flash Kernel and Initramfs ....and copy here zImage and initramfs appropriate -> archos.ext4.update/archos.ext4 - > ok! and wait to reboot !

Now it will not happen to disappear root access ! ;)

first off thanx for this.

im having 2 issues, first when put initramfs.cpio.lzo it says it should be initramfs.cpio.gz , second still getting "New Firmware Available" Icon

No biggie just curios on why i have to rename to .gz, and is this the latest?
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
It's because you have official Honeycomb installed.

Also because you have official Honeycomb installed (update IS available).

Yes, rename initramfs.cpio.lzo to initramfs.cpio.gz and it will flash correctly.

However if you want to use dual boot (official and custom firmware) it is strongly advised to update official firmware to latest one. Honeycomb system settings format doesn't like ICS.
[Gen9 Android Development] ArkViper:
Before this i had previous version of ICS installed, i updated to this version trying to eliminate that "Available update" .. what should i do? i need to flash and root again?

run format?

i havent got any dual boot.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

In my Rom you'll see always "available update" ( because it wasn't removed) ...but you can delete ArchosUpdate in /system/app/ .

I have read and (I think) followed all your steps. G9 80 Turb0 8 Gig 5 days old w/ICS out of the box. Tablet is rooted with the DEODEXED firmware found in 2nd post (And a thanks to Surdu_petru for the work).

As it boots, it tells me it is updating 115 apps, as opposed to the original, non-deodexed root file of his I put on (archos.ext4 after I had put on archos.ext4.update) which would tell me it was updating 51 apps. What is this "updating" thing?

The About section shows the 4.05 (4.03)Boot Version is listed as unknown/5.05.00003 - C0x00 Build Number: 20120319.101245

Its unbelievably slow in some operations (11+ seconds to have a "settings" screen after tapping Settings icon, yet when I press the APPS icon on the upper right home screen, the Apps menu opens instantly. Then 11 MORE seconds back to the Home screen)

Should I have reformatted first? Any suggestions? Before I get into V-6 and some other stuff I want a nice stable build. This thing FLEW out of the box, this is very disappointing.
[Gen9 Android Development] surdu_petru:
Hi!

If you want to use a stable and fast build .....you can use ICS OC Edition...., is a root version, no deodex and you can win some perf. in 1.24GHz or 1.28GHz - not 1.32GHZ -seems to be not so stable !

If you install the Plugin before you flash your Decice, is the Plugin after your Root + Custom Firmware Flash still there and works fine;)

But do not forget only in stepp 2 is it possible to install aos formats like Freepack plugin etc...

newbie question

I recently bought an arches 80 g9 turbo and upgraded to ICS, i have been reading though you post and i want to flash the firmware to my device. my question is should i go throughout the process of Gaining temp root then Enable SDE and Permanently root the tablet and then Install Busybox before flashing this rom or i can do it right after temp root. I am new to this to forgive my silly question. i was reading the tutorial in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1456875

your help on this is very much apprciated.
[Gen9 Android Development] gen_scheisskopf:
1. Gain temp root

2. Install SDE

3. Remove temp root (it brakes things in system)

4. Install whichever custom (rooted) rom you want

5. Make any changes/mods you want to custom rom

You can't make any changes to official firmware- it's designed that way.
[Gen9 Android Development] antoustas:
thank you gen_scheisskopf for your prompt reply. I have one more question, how do i remove temp root after SDE.
