[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moto321:
I had a different problem not related to the drivers required for the device.

I just found this smartphone a few days ago. As it had a security pattern I tried to unlock it by doing some intends (tipical patterns that came to my mind) but nothing (I now know people can unlock the pattern easily for cheap but did not come up then). Since this did not work properly, I just go on rebooting it on Win 7, but did not have experience enough, although I looked for information on some websites (that green screen recovery mode by pressing vol + and - and power at the same time and these kind of stuff). What I wanted to do was to flash the device and reinstalling its firmware. When connected to the PC by USB, it recognised the device perfectly but every moment I did that, a screen popped up telling me to format the device. I did not pay much attention at that at first, but as my sources were going down on each moment, at last I decided to format the device. What impressed me at first was that they were only 20 Kb to format but anyway I did it. The recovery green screen was still on the device while it was connected to the PC, but once I disconnected the device from the PC, the green screen left (logically) but the device did not switch on again, even when connected to the charger, and when triying to connect it to the PC, the PC simply did not recognise it.

I looked for information to make it go up again and tried some things like pressing the combination buttons to get the recovery mode, putting in a micro SD the files of the firmware of the device and connecting it to the micro SD slot but nothing happened. Since then Im looking for a solution yet. I saw some hardware procedures in order to get it back by opening the device and tricking it, as software manners did not work well to me, but that requires some electronic knowledge that I may not have at this moment.

I think when I formated that 20 Kb, I blew down the configuration that makes the Power Button to act like that, and the same for the other vol buttons. I contacted to the company 2 days ago explaining this situation and still waiting for news.

What do you think? May have I hard bricked the device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adonis K.:
Could be, and I think the support will most probably ignore you (or tell you it's out of warranty).

All you had to do was go to the android recovery and wipe data & cache (see my post 2-3 posts ago)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moto321:
I see. Thanks for your suggestion Varemenos.

After posting I saw some unusual ways to get up the device: usb-jig (which is said to revive some devices, specially Samsung ones, when they are bricked) and jtag (a company which can unbrick most types of brick). The problem is this Archos has little sources on the community so I do not know if these ways are useful for this device.

Revert to stock rom.

Hi there people, i just bought this phone (few days ago), and while trying to flash some custom apps, i sort of broken the phone. It still works but now i have a lot of apps that do not work (the ones i've installed), i've tried to reset to factory defaults, but when i do it, it installs the apps again (root included).

Is there any way to flash a stock rom?

I'm on the new update from Archos, and cannot replace the recovery following your steps.

In my case, it flickers again. Even after the reboot the old recovery comes back.

I think we need to change the boot.img, right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
From what i remember, we reverted back to the stock boot.img after we flashed the CWM

At this moment do you have root ?

Only 3 persons told me that the recovery works ok even more then 12 are probably using it :).

When your phone reboots back in recovery, do you see the stock archos recovery or the CWM compiled for the Karbonn phone ?

I added the fastboot continue command in the guide.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzan0va:
Yes, its rooted again!

The problem is that never saw the Archos recovery, so i assume its the CWM compiled for Karbonn, version 3x something (not sure).

Can't connect on some wifi routers

Thnaks mate for your answer.

But, I changed to all available channels and I'm still can't connect to these routers. The phone can connect succesfully to an another router (TP-link), so I'm sure that the phone has no any wifi problem.

Tip: NetFaster router is a clone of Pirelli.

I have 2 routers. The one without support for Wifi-N-Standard (only b+g) does not work either. It is common issue with this phone and its clone Karbonn titanium s5. No fix available according to various boardpostings. That is the reason why I am sending it back.

Changing router was the alternative to my problem, but I like the old one in my flat (rocksolid) and buying a new one is just too pricy. The newer one is at my parents so I know the phone works with newer routers.

If I set data connection to wcdma instead of automatic in idle mode and good reception it almost does not consume any batterypower. Whereas screen on time drains it like hell and faster than expected.

I need to make this phone work with all the Wi-Fi AP. It is really annoying to search for a "newer" AP. No reason to do that. 802.11 is an IEEE international standard and it is not an optional to make a terminal Wi-Fi compliant.

Hi guys! I've had the Archos 50c Platinum for a couple of days now. I bought in Germany for under 100 € as a present and I'm pleased with the performance. It ships with stock lollipop 5.1 which runs a lot smoother than KitKat I've seen in the reviews.

I've had several issues though.

the stock recovery is in Chinese.... WTF.... no one here ever mentioned this .... why is mine in Chinese

and the second thing that's been bugging me is my touchscreen only works precisely when I hold it in hand. If I put the phone on the table the touchscreen becomes a lot more unresponsive and I have to press twice as hard with my finger to hit smaller buttons and letters on the keyboard.

.... It's as if some static electricity from my holding hand is responsible to make the touch screen work right ....or maybe it's a faulty digitizer... anyway i've never seen this happen before on any other phones and tablets.....

please share your experience with the touchscreen .... I can go and change it since it's still in warranty but it's for a present and I don't know if the replacement will still have this problem (maybe the whole batch that sells here is broken)

recovery in Chinese ???
