I can´t manage to enter in to the Archos recovery, every time i press the power button and the volume up, i get the boot image of the recovery and the first recovery screen, but after a few seconds the tablet turns off!

Can anyone help me with this? The key pressing is right, if not the recovery screen should not even be visible, but i can´t manage to keep i.

Thanks to anyone that can give me a hint ou help me with this

ps:I manage to understand how it works ;) newbie :P

No idea why you would have archos.squashfs. If you have it you can remove it if you want.

No clue :/ Could be hardware failure...or dead battery? Try plugging your tablet into the wall xD
[Gen9 Android Development] haerwu:
It is not 'remove if you want' - it is 'remove to get archos.ext4 used at all'. Check initramfs/init script:

if [ -e /mnt/storage/archos.squashfs ] ; then
rm /data/local/archos.ext4
rm /data/local/archos.squashfs
rm /mnt/storage/archos.ext4.backup
cp /mnt/storage/archos.squashfs /data/local/archos.squashfs
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache

Hi Vialli,

try this:

release the buttons when you see the bootloader-image on screen.

I have the same behaviour when i long press the buttons.

Great tutorial, followed it and had no problems. My 101 G9 Turbo ICS is now rooted. Only one problem -- the superuser app cannot update the su binaries, it fails when mounting /system as rw, despite confirming root access in the previous step. Root Explorer has no problems mounting /system as rw however, so I suspect this is more of a Superuser bug than anything to do with the device or the new kernel.

There is no reason to remove squashfs other than freeing ~500 MB of space. Ext4 image has higher priority than squashfs (check end of the script)

Hi, sorry for my english I'm french.

This step by step tut will it work on my archos 80 g9 250 go turbo and 4.0.7 firmware?

thanks

Hi please read first post.
[Gen9 Android Development] reiasran:
Hi, thanks , I've read this is for 4.0.1 or higher but I'm afraid if the 4.0.7 change anything and crash my tablet ... I will try thank you ^^
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
4.0.7 is higher than 4.0.1, so when i say "4.0.1 or higher" that means 4.0.7 is covered. 4.0.7 will work.

Hi all

A question!

Archos G9 own a 101. If you do STEP 1: Enable EDS, you lose the warranty?

Thanks

[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
You will void warranty for software damages (bricking, boot loops, etc) however hardware warranty will persist

Wanted official SDE firmware

Help!

Can anyone provide a working download link for the official SDE menu firmware, the official Archos link is not working.

Thanks in advance.
[Gen9 Android Development] Djirin:
I just clicked on the link you provided and it just popped up with a download of the firmware. Only around 7mb but it worked.
[Gen9 Android Development] omneity:
Strange, when I click on the link in Firefox it takes me to this page. I've tried clearing cookies and flushed the DNS cache but it still does not resolve correctly. I've downloaded the firmware successfully via Google Chrome now which worked without error. I'll investigate the issues with Firefox later.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, I'm an old sweat when it comes to rooting phones, but I admit it has been different doing my 80 g9. I've managed to root it though with relatively no dramas.

The next part I am finding confusing. I want to flash a custom ROM, so I downloaded it to the root of my tablet storage. In order to flash the ROM, do I have to unpack the zip, extract the update 4 file or whatever it's called and the kernel and lzo file? Do I need to have them on the tablet or the computer? Why do you need the ext update 4 file on your tablet when you only flash the zimage and lzo file in recovery?

Sorry for the confusion, I'm just getting used to doing things a completely different way. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Also, I just extracted the zip of a custom rom I liked, but all it contained was the update ext 4file. So what do I do? The installation instructions seemed just like rooting, copy a zimage and lzo in recovery.

Sent from my ARCHOS 80G9

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------

Haha ha

I just copied the ext update 4 file to mnt/storage, then when I rebooted the tablet it upgraded and now the ROM is installed! Don't know if that's right but it's working.

Question. Is it okay to not wipe the data before flashing a ROM? I think I would if it was an aokp ROM. And also, can you backup the entire ROM?
[Gen9 Android Development] Telyx:
It's a little different from usual with these tablets. If I understand right, Archos left a partition for developers to use, so rather than rooting the stock ROM like you would with a phone, we load a rooted "developer ROM" into that partition and then the kernel and initramfs we flash basically make the tablet always boot from that partition. A custom ROM gets loaded to that same developer partition. A while back, I messed something up in my 80 G9 and had to download and flash the latest Archos ROM (which gets flashed in the conventional sense to the stock ROM partition), so I could either boot to the stock unrooted ROM or boot via recovery to the "Special Developer Edition" (rooted) ROM.
[Gen9 Android Development] porkchopbolt:
Thanks for the reply . I wondered why it was so different.

So does that mean that because I have rooted the tablet and told it to always boot from that partition, all I have to do to flash a custom rom is to put the ext 4 update file into mnt/sd section and reboot, if I'm happy to keep a stock rooted kernel?

Cannot install rooted/custom roms anymore?

Hi all,

I am experiencing a problem; my 80g9-hd does not boot from custom roms anymore. The following happened:

1. had stock v407 rooted running

2a. tried to install rooted v4.0.26 by copying archos.ext4.update to /mount/storage and flashing new kernel in SDE menu, after removing existing kernel

2b. v4.0.26 did not boot at all (black screen)

3. rebooted into recovery; chose "update firmware" -> copied original 4.0.7 .aos file onto ramdisk; reboot; all works (but i lost root access)

Since then, I keep trying to install other (rooted) ROMs using the method in 2a/2b, but none of them will boot at all (screen stays black). After each failure, only way to get a working tablet again is to execute step 3.

I just tried installing rooted/deodexed v4.0.7 again, and went back into SDE menu because the tablet would not boot; now i notice that the option to remove the existing kernel is not there in the SDE menu anymore.

I am probably doing something wrong here but i have no idea what i am missing
[Gen9 Android Development] schermvlieger:
Anybody have an idea how I can fix this problem, please?
[Gen9 Android Development] laolaxyz:
I do have also some problems to rrot my device. I followed the updated TUT (19th Nev) step by step - but I always got the error 221 - update failed. I also tried to use the SDK firmware form the Arcos webside - no success either (same 221 failure).

So then I followed the "old" way (via adb) - everything went actually well (no error and some success messages) but I can't see any developer SDK after pressing the power and volume up button. I just can rach the "normal" recovery menu.

I am using the Archos 10.1 G9 - software 4.0.26 (Android 4.0.4)

For using i.e Titanium Back up I need root access as I have on my mobile. And using CM10 would be also nice... Any guidiance would be highly appreciated.
[Gen9 Android Development] laolaxyz:
okay - the old version did work after formating the device, install the original Arcos FW (4.0.26) and then followed the instructions step by step...

Is my guide not working anymore?
[Gen9 Android Development] torpedillo:
same problem

I have same problem. Update failed (221) and I have lost sde
[Gen9 Android Development] TiMiN8R:
No, from firmware 4.0.25 Archos have (intentionally or mistakenly?) disabled installing official SDE or downgrading the firmware, it all ends with the error 221. So people who are still on 4.0.7 should install SDE before upgrading. The old, unofficial, SDE seems to work for most though it is a little more complicated.
[Gen9 Android Development] briandang98:
Follow instructions but cannot install SDE in G9 with firmvare 4.0.26 : update failed 221.

[Gen9 Android Development] briandang98:
I have tried the old method but encounter problem in step 1 pre root /temp root.

In command I put

C:\User\Nam\anroid\android-sdk\platform-tools\ adb device

It shows:

*daemon not ..........

*daemon started ..........

list of device attached

A80S6kf92jf5096ff4 device

It means I have ADB installed in my computer

but when I tried to run rootdevice.cmd it shows ( in command window )

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command

So it is the reason why I ask is there any solution than the old way.

Thanks

it
[Gen9 Android Development] TiMiN8R:
That's because the system can't find adb. You can't run it from just anywhere.

You could try to either run the rootdevice.cmd from the same directory as adb or putting that directory in your path. Right-click on Computer > properties > advanced > environment variables and add C:\User\Nam\anroid\android-sdk\platform-tools\

Now you start adb from anywhere.

[Gen9 Android Development] briandang98:
Thanks.

I have set variables for the path and it's working O.K.

But after I enable the SDE and reboot the machine it has a boot loop between the android and recovery menu ...

After many try, I finally got to the recovery menu. So I unistalled the SDE and re install firmware 4.0.26.

May be I will wait untill archos update the new firmware which allows install SDE officialy.
[Gen9 Android Development] Shano56:
Yes the old one is more complicated as it requires use of adb commands. Thats odd that it doesn't work for new firmware. I don't have a G9 anymore so I cannot test unfortunately :/
[Gen9 Android Development] 55mls:
Why doesn't anybody (especially one of the Mods) take the time to change the very first post of this thread and put up in big red letters that you can NOT install the official Archos SDE if you have already installed the official Archos firmware 4.0.24 or higher?

And then point people to all of the correct information they would need (and I do NOT mean to the old SDE method thread either, should be a whole new sticky for this situation). If anyone wants to take the ball and run with it to do so, here's the short version of instructions to expand from:

If you run Windows, download and extract the ADB USB driver from:

ftp://support.archos.com/ARCHOS it/ADB/adb_winusb_driver.zip

You do NOT need to install the Google Android SDK stuff for any of this!

On your tablet, go into Settings => Developer options and set Debug mode on.

Plug tablet into computer and get the above mentioned ADB USB driver installed.

Unplug and reboot both computer and tablet.

Go to this thread and drop down to surdu's instructions and download his Enable_SDE.zip file and extract it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971263

Then, for rooted stock Archos 3.2.80 go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477667

Or, for rooted stock Archos 4.0.7 go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720422

For now, those are really the ONLY 2 of Archos firmware that actually work right anyway.

So, PLEASE... somebody take the brief instructions I listed above and expand on it to make it more easily understandable to others (especially noobs) and get a sticky posted that people can find more easily (instead of hunting around and constantly asking). Yes, it is a bit complicated, but the only real hard part is getting the ADB USB driver installed. The rest is just following instructions (and most of the ADB commands could actually be put together into a .bat file for Windows users... if anyone wants to try to do so. Sorry, I'd like to do that myself, but just haven't had time to do so).

I'm glad you did not take me as being rude, but I've just gotten so sick of all the repeated same 2 questions about the Archos G9's just about everywhere I go on the internet... Yet, for some reason nobody ever bothers to post this in nice big, bold, red letters at the top of the major "sticky" threads... and, it's really not that hard to do... Here I'll show you:

If you have already upgraded to Archos firmware 4.0.24 or higher...

Until Archos changes things (which is doubtful)...

You CAN NOT install any previous OFFICIAL Archos firmware version.

You CAN NOT install the OFFICIAL Archos SDE.

But, you CAN still install an UN-OFFICIAL SDE and custom "rooted" ROMS if you want to.

(put further information and links here)

Why something like the above has not already been posted all over the internet by now amazes me! And, what really bugs me is it really should have been a "sticky" at the very top of every forum relating to the Archos G9 tablets (not just here on xda-developers) almost a month ago already!

No guarantee, but if I can get a chance I will try to re-package everything I listed in my previous post and include some batch (.bat) files for Windows users (most Linux users very likely already know how to work with ADB), but with 15 inches of snow in 24 hours here, Christmas, and New Years... well, my head is kind of off with other things right now.

Easier way to root?

Please someone, find a easier way to install sde on G9! I have an archos8 with sde enabled and rooted, Galaxy S1 also rooted but i can not install sde on my G80 and i believe many other users like me...
[Gen9 Android Development] 55mls:
If you have already installed the official Archos 4.0.24, 4.0.25, or the (current) 4.0.26 firmware, I believe you have already found out that you can not install any earlier official Archos firmware version, and you can not install the official Archos SDE either. However, you can install an UN-official SDE and then install various 'rooted' firmware.

Since there are a large number of people that just can not stand putting up with the problems in 4.0.26 (or do not want to wait until Archos releases a newer firmware)... and they really desperately want to get back to 4.0.7...

Well, check out my post over on the archosfans forum..

Having problems getting CFW on my G9 101 Turbo

Hi all.

I have been playing about my my Archos 101 G9 Turbo for a bit and decided tonight to root it and pop a custom ROM on it, however that was not so easy for me. I have since got my Archos back to stock. Here is the details of what I am now running and the Archos details:

Firmware 4.0.28 (Andriod 4.0.4)

Board Version: A101H-V5(T1)

OMAP Version: OMAP4460 ES1.1

First off I followed the instructions on this thread. Step 1 went off without any problems. Step 2 I started with issues. Firstly on part 2 for ADB for some reason my tablet wasn't being picked up on the PC when typing adb devices. I tried to kill-server start-server but still nothing.. I went on to step 6a and followed that through. after the last re-boot the device just sat at the Archos screen. So I took it back to stock (see above)

Next I used the details found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542058 but again adb is still not seeing the tablet so I stopped.

Next Went back to the details in this thread and did Step 1 , however instead of doinf Step 2 I followed the instruction here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36836837&postcount=2. Still no luck. For some reason when I put the ZIP file in the root of the device it wasn't found.

While in CWM ADb could see the tablet so I tried to Sideload the install this failed. I pushed the ZIP onto the /sdcard/0 and tried to install but this stopped after 5 seconds.

Please can someone tell me where I went wrong and how can I CM10.1 on my tablet.

Thanks

I know this thread might be quite old but I have just recently decided to try & root my Archos 101 Turbo G9 tablet.

I have a question though, do I need a minimum battery level to do so? also, will the tablet recharge if plugged in while in recovery mode?

Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind, I decided not to take any chances and charge the device to nearly full capacity.

Also seem to have successfully rooted
