I have the same situation right now. Managed to make your program work then I get the "error:device not found". My phone does show up in the computer folder(albeit not in mass storage mode), but isn't that what this program was made to work around?

My phone is a LG Optimus G with a smashed glass... The LCD still displays fine, but I'm stuck at my swipe lock because the digitizer is dead.

Thank you for your help and your wonderful program.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] ziggygod:
Thanks for this app. My girlfriend broke her screen and digitizer on her Galaxy S4. She never turned USB Debugging mode and has a lock on her screen. When using your app I get the same error when I use adb by itself which is "error: closed". ADB detects my phone but any command I use in ADB or with your app I get that same error.

Do you know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot man.

dude this tool is just amazing and does exactly what it promised.

Getting an error "The system cannot find the path specified."

I start the recovery tool, set eh adb path successfully, and then I get this error. If I try running the recovery to pull the DCIM library I get this:

"error: device not found"

What can I do?

Thanks!

Either way this is an amazing tool, seeing how it helped some people already. :good:

I'm also interested in rooting the Archos 50 Platinum.

My father has been using one for a week. I don't like its software very much. I hope they update it to 4.2.2.

I bought some crappy (1€) screen protection films from eBay. They didn't fit the device and the seller/manufacturer is now replacing the wrong films. I also bought a leather pouch branded as "Favory". Take care with it: this is not genuine leather and is a pouch for a Galaxy Note or such device.

A new update should come in the next days (firmware update and it will be still 4.1.2)

I will start to find some scripts that can root the phone ( I found a tool that might root the phone, but I don`t have one to test :) )

all this on arctablet :)

In terms of support from the manufacturer, Archos said they will release the Kernel source "soon"

Insecure boot.img

ro.secure=0

ro.debuggable=1

http://www.mediafire.com/download/frmi5fcj9j7w3cp/boot.img

THIS IMAGE WILL WORK ONLY WITH THE UPDATE THAT WILL BE RELEASED ON 30/06/2013 !!!

Flashable using fastboot

fastboot flash boot boot.img

For those asking them self why do you need an Insecure boot.img, read here

http://whiteboard.ping.se/Android/Rooting

In other words, you should be able to push su, and superuser to the phone

If someone gains root, with the above stuff, please do PM me, I need the recovery.img to build CWM.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpof88:
Huuumm...getting black screen, taking battery off... sounds like a crash to me. Sure its safe?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DieterHolvoet:
Didn't work for me, nothing happened in fact, but it should be safe anyway?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
No one is trying what I suggested ? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DieterHolvoet:
What you suggested seems a little tricky to me, I don't want to brick my brand new phone by messing with boot images :/ are you sure that's safe? Why don't you try it yourself?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
I don`t have the phone anymore, it was a test product, and I sent it back to Archos, the other friend that has the phone he is relocating, no internet for 4 days.

I am very sure that is safe.

The Archos 50 does not have a locked bootloader.

The boot.img has only 2 characters modified in it, nothing new added, or removed.

At any moment the stock boot.img can be re-flashed.

There is no risk unless you type

fastboot flash system boot.img

In this situation, yes, it will be a risk.

Any rooting method involves a risk, but this is the safe way, where you don`t use a program/script that my mess up with the system.

The people that make the rooting methods, at the beginning they don`t have access to a boot.img to do what I suggested, that`s why they use scripts to modify permissions and load different exploits to the phone.

This is not my first device that I attempt to root it and I succeed, I have 1 year and half since i am working on products based from Archos and Arnova, and if I "brick" someone device, I usually provide a fix.

Strange people, you are using all kind of types of rooting methods, that can screw up something in the system partition at any moment, but you will not take the safe way :).

Here is more information about the phone

System Partitions and overlay

/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 sys_boot partition (DO NOT PLAY WITH THIS PARTITION !!!)

/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 boot.img partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 recovery.img partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 persist partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 system partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 cache partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 data partition

/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 media partition

So if someone manages to do something

the method to dump the files will be

adb shell

su ( if it is needed, but the adb should be allready started as root)

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=/sdcard/boot.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/system.img
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DieterHolvoet:
The point is that I'm not familiar with this kind of stuff, but if you say it's safe I'll try it out :)

But first, I'm doing a Nandroid backup, to be sure

From what DieterHolvoet replied I think WE HAVE ROOT on this phone.

Download

http://www.mediafire.com/download/v4o69nfdxllih3h/bootcurrentfirmware.img

Rename the file to boot.img

Flash the boot.img via fastboot.

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot continue

Then download supersu and su and do the next things

adb push su /system/xbin/su

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

adb push superuser.apk /system/app/superuser.ap

Reboot the phone

If you're looking for an application to manage su permissions, I think you can get it from market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustMyself:
Yeah I know but "su" is obvoiusly not an app (.apk-file).

I do not know where I can download it from and could not find anything useful on google either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpof88:
I believe the modified boot.img and the adb console commands given above will root the phone. At least, that's what I make sense of it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustMyself:
The command

adb push su /system/xbin/su

transfers the file "su" from the current directory on the PC to "/system/xbin" on the Android device.

So we need the file in order to be able to "push" it !!

Is anybody out there who knows where to get it from?

---------- Post added at 01:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------

OK I finally found it now. Both the su binaray and the Superuser.apk app are contained in the package which can be downloaded from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

However before I give it a try I would actually like to backup my current boot.img.

Does Anybody know how to do this? fastboot does not seem to have a command to do so.

Is it possible to download the original boot.img from somewhere in case something should go wrong?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustMyself:
#########################

OK I wanted to give it a try even without a backup of boot.img.

flashing the image with fastboot was no problem and the device rebooted successfully.

Now I have the problem that I am unable to connect via adb.

USB debugging is active, fastboot mode, external drive mode and camery mode are working but adb does not show any connected devices.

Seems like a driver problem to me. When I attached the phone to USB all drivers for several USB devices have been installed automatically except for a device named "A50" for which no driver could be found.

Can I download the correct ADB drivers for the Archos 50 somewhere? Can't find anything on their website.

P.S: I have already used several other devices with adb attached to the same PC. But as far as I know I need a driver which is specific for the device right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpof88:
Yes, as far as I know we need a specific driver. at least I needed that for my toshiba tablet (I was trying to develope an app).

This does not help here either as it describes a (very complicated) method to install an adb driver for an archos tablet. As drivers are specific I do not believe that this driver works for the phones as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzan0va:
How i do it in detail here
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
You can make your own custom adb drivers or you can use SuperoneClick.

The boot.img has the security turned off, and adb will always start as root, which should allow to push files towards the system.

The stock boot.img is present in the update posted on Archos website.

BTW, an update was scheduled to be released for this phone, but it was not released ! When it will be, all of you that manage to root the phone now, will lose the root, also this update brings some important changes in the radio from what I have noticed and maybe a new partition layout.

I still don`t have a 50 Platinum to test things on my own.

It would be nice if some of you that managed to get root, would start and dump the files from the phone, and in case someone screws up something, there will be available a back-up method.

There is a need of the system.img and recovery.img

Why didn't they include some kind of notification led? (hopefully in a later update, they will add the ability of using the soft key light to notify us by updating the kernel)

Why can't we get rid of that useless/unconfigurable quick-settings app

Its annoying, very i must say! How could they not predict this?

Not very happy with this phone already, beginning to feel that i was better served with the Chinese phones.

*Bad partition memory management i've ever seen! Mine is already full and its 2/3 of what i'm used to.

*When we place it on a plane surface, the speaker is muted! O_X

*Never enters deep sleep as it should. Maybe caused by Wifi not entering suspend mode.

*Wifi sometimes doesnt recover. Off / On with it to work.

*Battery evaporates!

*Drivers are not digitally signed!

*No accessories so far... a extra battery would be great! Not even for Karbonn Titanium S5 (havent found it).

*We can register the product but still cant place complaints or suggest things!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 101beginner:
ADB shell

To install adb driver

Windows:

1 Copy pcdrivers zip file included in the phone to your computer

2 Unzip

3 Go to adb_driver\win32 or adb_driver\win64 folder.

4 Edit android_usb.inf file with wordpard

5 In control panel/system/device manager open the A50 device properties, select the details tab and look for the hardware id property.

6 Insert two lines in the android_usb.inf file, the section wich corresponds to your windows version, with the same structure that the dedicated to other devices, but whit the hardware id you just have look for

(In my case the lines looks just like this:

%USB\VID_0E79&PID_3008&REV_0233&MI_00.DeviceDescRelease%=androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_0E79&PID_3008&REV_0233&MI_00

%USB\VID_0E79&PID_3008&MI_00.DeviceDescRelease%=androidusb.Dev, USB\VID_0E79&PID_3008&MI_00)

7 Save changes in the .ini file

8 From the device manager select A50, update driver, don't let windows look for the driver but look for it your self selecting the folder wich contains the modified .ini file

9Ignore the security alert

10 Done

It think it won't be too diferent in Linux

Hope you find it helpfull.

Hey guyz, anyone else tried this? Seems like a built-in CWM interface.

It can perform what it seems to be a NAND backup/restore (looks like it can only backup data though), apply updates from [external storage, internal storage, adb, cache], wiping stuff (data/cache etc) and mount mass storage.
