4. Downloaded custom rom (unlockerdotcom)

5. Flashed custom rom via custom recovery There u go!!

Wd appreciate a "thank you"
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] htc.hd:
I think Universal androot do not work on froyo 2.2.1.

If you root through this then please give me link for androot

Here is the guide and tools to rooting the Archos 80 Cobalt 8" tablet running ICS 4.0.4.

At the moment there are no custom roms for this device and any other roms for Archos devices will result in a soft-brick.

The rooting procedure is pretty simple, if you have any problems just ask.

----------- Rooting Stock ICS 4.0.4 -------------

1) Download and unpack the attached archos_80_cobalt_root.zip

2) Ensure sure ADB is enabled on your device (Settings -> Developer Options -> USB debugging [tick] )

3) Install the ADB driver (included)

4) Run RunMe.bat and select option 1

5) Check on device, when asked to restore, press the "Restore my data" button.

----------- Recovering "Bricked" Achos 80 Cobalt to Stock ICS 4.0.4 -------------

1) Download and unpack cobalt_recovery.zip from HERE

2) Plug in AC adapter (not USB cable) and power off device

3) Hold down Volume-Down button while plugging in USB cable, keep Volume-Down pressed for 10 seconds

4) Install the driver for "unknown device" in device manager, the driver is included in cobalt_recovery.zip

5) Start RKAndroidTool and press "flash rom" - do not select any of the tick boxes unless you need to restore custom images or restore userdata & cache

6) It will take about 5 minutes for the device to recover and should automatically boot to the welcome wizard

-------- Clockwork Recovery ---------

Thanks to 900supersport at freaktab.com he has built a signed kernel to allow booting CWM. I have attached the recovery too to allow you to install CWM. Use the same guide above but use archos_80_cobalt_CWM.zip instead.

----------- Changes -----------

26/12/12 17:32GMT: Fixed a couple of bugs and stripped a lot of stuff not relevant to this device from the script.

27/12/12 18:41GMT: Uploaded cobalt_recovery.zip to recover from a soft-brick

29/12/12 13:33GMT: Included link and attachment for CWM with thanks to 900supersport at freaktab.com

^-- particularly interesting! bricked devices can be fixed quite easily using this method it would seem. Have yet to try - just installing linux on my laptop to make the whole thing easier.

Also - I'll try CM10. Wish me luck. Based on these links it really cannot be bricked.

RK3066

The Rockchip rk3066 is almost impossible to brick. Good place to go is http://www.freaktab.com/forumdisplay.php?76-CUBE-Tablets and check out 900supersport roms for the Cube U30GT Mini. He has a lot of experience with the RK3066 tablets.:)
[Gen9 Android Development] etoD:
Hi,

Here are instructions to access the processor flash mode.

1. Power off the device (unplugged, etc).

2. Hold down Volume Down button

3. Plug the device into computer via USB cable

4. Stop holding button.

5. A device should have been added to your computer, this is a direct interface to the RK3066 processor.

You can find the drivers for windows attached, probably pointless. Here is output from above linked program rkflashtool on linux:

mark@mark-UX31A ~ $ ./rkflashtool r 0x0000 0x0001 | strings

I was only able to buy one device because we had a one-device-per-customer restriction on in store because of low stock levels - could someone with an as yet untouched device do this and grab us some Stock ROMs?

[Gen9 Android Development] Fleabum:
Bah.

I backed up my tablet, tried to write it back and now it seems to have started to hang on the unanimated "Archos-Entertainment your way" bootscreen. :/

I can get into the android stock recovery menu (Volume down+Power till broken android, then press Power+Volume up). If I had an image to flash from here it should work, but this I dont have,

Anyone got an idea how to get it back into a working unit?

hey I tried to install the driver provided for my Archos 80 cobalt but it doesn't find it. I set the location to my driver folder but it tells me it is unable to locate it. I am running 64 bit windows 7 home premium if that helps. Any ideas why it wont install?
[Gen9 Android Development] Fleabum:
It has a different driver depending on what your trying to do. USB ADB mode uses a different driver to RK3066 flash programming mode, and a different one again to the media access.

Which one are you trying to install and on what OS?

[Gen9 Android Development] gavroche:
I am in the process of building this from source as the web version of the builder doesn't support the device (as far as I can tell) and there is no way to edit the BoardConfig.mk file.
[Gen9 Android Development] Fleabum:
Right click Computer, select Manage

Click Device manager

Right click the Unknown device and select Update Driver Software

Click 'Browse my computer'

Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'

Leave Show all devices highlighted and click 'Next'

Click 'Have Disk' then click 'Browse'

Browse to the location of the driver, 64 bit Windows7 version is in AMD64 then Win7

Double click the inf file in the directory

Click 'OK'

You may need to manually select the item from the list, all depends. Also accept any unsigned driver warnings, etc etc.

Hope that helps.

I plug in Power then power off, I then Hold down Volume-Down button while plugging in USB cable, keep Volume-Down pressed for 10 seconds, I get NO unknown device as in step 4, I do get an ADB testing interface under adb interface. Any Help is much appreciated.

Solved my problem, for some reason I needed usb plugged in then hold power and volume down and then I was able to install drivers. I HAD to have power held down as well.

Funnily enough I tried that and it didn't work yesterday today after rebooting my PC it works perfectly fine thanks for your help and patience!
[Gen9 Android Development] chrisund123:
Does fastboot work on the cobalt? I have adb/fastboot working on my ubuntu desktop but after executing "adb reboot bootloader" the tablet shuts down/reboots to a blank screen and "fastboot devices" gives nothing :(

I thought the 51-android.rules might need a bit of tweaking so I did "lsusb" and sure enough the cobalt was now showing up as a different device, but adding the details for that gave no joy...

Ah well I had nothing particular to do in fastboot, just wanted to poke about mainly lol.
[Gen9 Android Development] Fleabum:
I've had two devices appear for it, one was the un-named one, that was the Rock chip directly, i.e. the table looked powered off. The other was the Archos detected device, that's was when the table was up and running.

[Gen9 Android Development] t-bon3:
There are a lot of tablets running the RK3066 chipset, the problem is they all use different components, touchscreens, wifi modules, cameras, memory chips etc. flashing a ROM form a different device might work but you'll probably have no wifi and no touchscreen.

If you look here you'll see 12 different 8 inch tablets with a RK3066 processor and a 1024x768 screen, all running android 4.1:

[Gen9 Android Development] doctorpep:
Slightly off topic but I couldn't find any other discussions on this tablet:

I'm having an annoying issue with the touchscreen responsiveness. In general I have to tap quite hard (when compared to my phone or other tablets) to get the touch to register. I can live with that but when I want to hold (for either moving an app on the desktop or aiming on Angry Birds, for example) I have to press and hold really firmly otherwise it starts registering multiple touches.

I've downloaded the SGS Touchscreen app and played around with that slightly but I can't seem to get it to work - if anyone has any tips on using this, it would be much appreciated!

Anyway, just wondered if anyone else is experiencing this or whether I have a faulty unit?

Keep up the good work guys!
[Gen9 Android Development] dancingbear84:
Headphones on the stock os is the only way I found with Google talk. I had similar issues with Skype so I assume the same issue affects both. I emailed arches support with the issue. I assume when you guys port something l Iike cm10 or other jb ROM the problem may disappear.
[Gen9 Android Development] yusszn:
perhaps Archos / anyone can fix the no speaker sound during Skype or i need to return / sell my tablet :(

[Gen9 Android Development] audioslim:
Its a common issue for lots of tabs for some reason. Solutions are out there.
[Gen9 Android Development] xaccers:
It is a Skype issue. Skype diverts the audio to the headphone jack. So plug in a pair of headphones or mini external speaker.

I believe a previous version had a loud speaker button.
[Gen9 Android Development] dancingbear84:
It is a bit short sighted of Microsoft in my opinion, it should route to speaker first then to the headphone if jack detected. Hopefully MS will fix this issue and I can use skype.

Can I suggest that we create a general discussion thread rather than derailing this root thread? That said I'm struggling to find any ideas except use headphones or downgrade firmware. It really isn't a big deal for me, I just like to tinker and get things working. I really should become more technical.

I agree, a Cobalt Q&A thread should be started and this thread moved to an appropriate forum as I agree that this device doesnt fall within the Gen9 category based on the chipset alone however I don't think Gen10 is appropriate either.

Please consider this.

I have managed to delete the whole system of the tablet, the only thing I am left with is the boot image and clockwork recovery. Would someone be able to share a cwm backup of their tablet, that is the only way I can get the tablet to work. The stock rom recovery method is useless as the tablet won't enter bootloader. I don't have any warranty and I bought this tablet for 100pounds, I had really appreciate if someone could share a backup as that would save me from losing my tablet.

thank you.

Edit: I did make a backup in the internal sd card, however, in rktool I removed everything when I erased nand. All I need is for someone to backup their newly flashed rom using cmw recovery and share those files, this is the only method which will allow me to get my tablet back. Someone please help me out.
