Ok, just rooted my 80 titanium with vroot v1.4.3. Some steps are a little different but I succeeded.

I installed English superuser and updated binaries. Thing is the Chinese SU app kept popping up when I had to set permissions in every app. Going back to English SU I had to update binaries again.

My work around was to update English SU binaries and immediately froze the Chinese app. Now English SU app is in control. If everything goes fine these days I will uninstall the Chinese app.
[Gen10 Android Development] ralfred:
Thank you for that but I don't try this because I had bricked my arnova with trying swap internal memory with SD memory. My change in the vold.fstab was not the right for this device.
[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
Updating the binary will only update the su binary that was added during the root process. If this fails, the worst that could happen would be for you to lose root and have to start over again.

Likewise, my proposal to delete the Superuser.apk is also removing something that was added during the root process. So far we haven't removed or modified any system files, with the exception of changing the directory and file permissions as part of root.

My main complain about this tablet is the battery life.

Would be nice to discover a few things:

- find the problem behind all alarms and wakelocks running (screenshot) . I think its preventing the tablet to deep sleep well.

- calibrate battery and see what happens. This video shows good results. I talked to the user who upload this but he has no longer the tablet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRUmJgPHR3Q

- find an app or mod that allow us to decrease the brightness a little more. The minimum brightness level is just too bright to use in total dark room. I know there's filters, but I want to gain a little battery with this.

- find a working app to limit and overclock CPU speed
[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
I guess I am happy with the battery life, but only because I knew it would be an issue and I leave Wi-Fi off unless screen is on or it is plugged in. I won't try calibrating the battery because that video was probably made with the earlier firmware and we have the updated one which may have resolved whatever issues he was having.

Have you tried installing a recovery? I don't want to experiment too much until I can do a nandroid backup.
[Gen10 Android Development] fideliofidelio:
Just testing performance with CPU underclocked to 1008 MHz (antutu benchmark test of 9500 points). Will see if this have a positive result in battery performance.

No recovery yet.

I recently bought the Archos 97 titanium hd and I have a problem with a weak signal. I upgraded to the latest version but problems such as weak wifi signal and some graphics problem are still there. Will I with rooting fix these problems and what are the main advantages of rooting?
[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
I'm surprised that the update didn't solve the wi-fi problems, are you sure it was successful?

Rooting is not a magic bullet to solve your problems and at present, the advantages are limited because there are no custom Roms for it yet. If you don't have a specific reason for gaining full administrator access to your operating system, then you probably shouldn't bother.

Sometimes I have to press two or three times the power button to wake up the device.

Maybe this problem appeared with root process? Maybe with the underclocked CPU?

Anyone with this problem?
[Gen10 Android Development] ralfred:
The brincking of my Tablet was not after the root process. Your solution did it successfully.

I bricked it when I changed the vold.fstab file to swap memory between external and SDCard ... Now I'm waiting the back to technical service of arnova to unbrick it.

I've updated the OP and you should be able to fix that by beginning with step #8
[Gen10 Android Development] fideliofidelio:
Indeed, you can freeze the app with titanium backup paid version or (like i did) you can disable it from setting > apps > select app > disable. It's my cheaper way :D

But i noticed two chinese applications (i disabled it), how to delete them permanently?
[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
First, there was only one app installed during the root process.

[Edit] apparently there are two apps, the non super-user app is easy to remove with a normal "uninstall".

Second, weren't you just following the steps to remove that app when you discovered you lost root?

Works with Medion Lifetab E10310

I reply here just to confirm that this method works with the Medion Lifetab E10310 (MD 98382), probably a rebranded Lenovo. I've searched the web during 3 days, and finally found a French thread with a link pointing here. IMO, it's the only method that works fine.

Thanks to the Chinese author, and to dhigby for his translation and guide. :)

BTW, I can confirm that there are apparently two apps installed during the rooting process (at least with the current version). The Chinese version of the superuser app, of course, and another app, also in Chinese. It has also a blue icon, but it's not the same icon than the icon of the main su app. It seems that it adds some features, but the translated description is difficult to understand. You can uninstall it the normal way, from the Settings -> Apps panel. Anyway, it seems that it is not necessary, and if you really want to, you can re-install it from the Play Store. (Sorry, I can't post the link due to the new users limitations.)

[EDIT] The links to the french forum and the Chinese app in the Play Store are in this other thread here.

Worked for me

Archos 80 Titanium

It worked fine except it was glitchy for me replacing the SU . I lost root about 3 times before I got it right. What I did was uninstall the other chinese app, but left the chinese SU app intact. Decided on the 4th try to not reboot but instead was able to delete the chinese SU after switching to ChainsDD SU. Before that if I would disable the Chinese SU then ES File manager would not grant SU permission to delete it. After that, I tested root on a variety of root apps before rebooting. Rebooted and I still have root and the chinese app is gone. So thanks very much for this, it was exactly what I have been looking for, to root and keep the latest firmware update. My tab is working fine, better than before.
[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
Thanks for sharing and sorry I got the sequencing wrong. I will update the OP to reflect your experience.

[Done. Please look at steps 10 and 11 to verify I have gotten it right]
[Gen10 Android Development] wendroid:
Clarification on my last post

What worked for me was to NOT disable the chinese SU, but to leave it enabled after updating the CDD SU. Then going into ES File manager I was able to delete the chinese SU and it kept the CDD intact and root intact. Then reboot was the last step. If you reboot before that, you end up with no root and have to start over. For some reason, even with the CDD installed I was not able to get SU permission unless the Chinese SU was still enabled, even though the CDD was apparently in control. First uninstalling the other chinese app had no bad effect though.

By the way, my tablet works ALOT better after rooting. I'm not sure why since I still have the same stock ROM. The stock ROM seems to be plain vanilla so maybe thats why. I installed Nova launcher after rooting and it is fantastic. I had had it installed before rooting and had to uninstall it as I was getting so much lag and hanging. Now its all cleared up. This was an excellent rooting method see as how there is no custom ROM available as yet for this tab. I had read about the kasty root method and compared to that this was a piece of cake with better results as it keeps the firmware update as well. Glad I waited!

just rootet an Medion lifetab E10312 that is in sale(Aldi-Germany) since today ...meanly for

installing adblock ;) its so silly surfing without !!1

root is ok but only with the chinese superuser app...ddchains superuser app update

is failing everytime_everything went ok -download-install etc but then when its testing the install it fails...

got someone an idea ? _not for me but perhaps for the other people with the new tab that are coming ^^

but for me its ok as it is_ because its my sister new tablet and weve done it only for installing adblock and that works fine now ;)

thx alot [MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]

[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
If the update doesn't work, it could mean that you lost root. You can download a root checker app to see if you still have root.

Sorry, I looked and noticed that when I revised the OP, I left two number 10's in the instructions. One was supposed to be deleted. I fixed this, and hope that that wasn't the cause for confusion.

Medion E10312 - Howto get rid of the Chinese SU App

I managed to get root access on my E10312 using the vROOT application as described in the guide. However, I did not manage to get rid of the chinese SU binary and app, since

1) I didn't find the apk(s) of the chineses app anywhere - are they hidden?

2) The superuser app failed to confirm that it's newly installed SU binary would work.

What worked like a charm was to install and run SuperSU (from the market). As soon as you open it, it proposes to replace the SU binary and then to uninstall the other superuser app(s) automatically. Now, things are running perfect.

Thanks for the guide!

Maybe off topic, but I just emailed Archos complaining about poor battery life, wakelocks and device awake while on standby mode. Also asking if we will get a system update on our Titaniums soon. Here is their answer. Kinda suck...

"...However I already know from the SoC supplier of the SoC on that device that 4.3 will not be ported to the device and 4.4 will only be studied for that SoC when it is made available to them. Without a version of android from the SoC supplier to start from, we are unable to do any further updates to the android version... "

Hi, does this work on Archos Platinum 97 HD? I believe it has an Allwinner A31 chip. Thanks.
[Gen10 Android Development] Dr Doppio:
Tested yesterday with the latest version on Archos 97 Platinum, no luck. Impossible for me to troubleshoot since the software is in Mandarin. From the behavior of the tablet I expected that the root has succeeded, but after the reboot there was no su binary installed.

Would be really happy to hear from someone who has succeeded rooting the 97 Platinum, with this method or any other avialable.
[Gen10 Android Development] andrewcg1:
Thank you for testing it. I tried the Onda root via OTA but Archos refused to install it after verifying that it was not an official firmware update.
[Gen10 Android Development] Dr Doppio:
:good: No need to thank me, I tested before reading your question by mere coincidence. Looks like the time to find a root for the Platinum is really ripe :)

I also tried with the Onda update, to no avail. Is there any way to trick the tablet that the update is official? I guess it needs to be signed, but I have no idea if the signature can be spoofed (I'm guessing it can't).
[Gen10 Android Development] Dr Doppio:
I'd like to share what I've learned the last couple of days about recent Archos models, please correct me if I'm wrong.

There were three series which were announced and released in rather rapid succession around the beginning of 2013, namely Titanium HD, Platinum HD, and Platinum "b" HD. I am most interested in the 9.7'' screen ones, as that's the one I have. All of those have an IPS screen identical to the "retina" iPads. The differences between the models are mostly in the internals, as well as firmware.

The Titanium series is based on Rockchip SoCs, and has been successfully rooted, as documented in this very thread among others.

The first Platinum series is based on AllWinner SoCs (similar to Onda tablets) and has not been rooted to the best of my knowledge. There are Onda ROMs that one could use though, I will likely test one myself and report back in the thread where it was announced: http://www.arctablet.com/blog/forum/archos-platinum/root-the-97-platinum/#p29606

The "b" Platinum series, as in Archos 97b Platinum, is based on RK3188 Rockchip SoC and can likely be rooted using rkflashtool in the same way as the Titanuim series. The latest rkflashtool has support for 3188. I tested it with my AllWinner based Platinum 97 but couldn't get it to work, obviously.

Maybe you all knew this already, but for me it required some research, as I did not anticipate such drastic changes in internals of tablets released a few months apart. I also got the wrong Platinum, since I want to be able to root it and wouldn't mind the added performance of the Rockchip SoC either... oh well...

[MENTION=1211487]dhigby[/MENTION]

thank you for the work for root description. I have also some questions about this. My pad is a Medion E10312, i still work thru (post #1) your steps from 1 to 9 also press right button (from the chinese SU) as you write. But now su DD say "make sure su works" failed.. and i read thru several posts here. Nothing works. It is also not possible to uninstall the chinese SU program. Is there a difference between the Vroot soft versions ? I Used the "VRoot_1.7.1.4028_Setup". I think the root istself works (check with root checker) but only with the chinese version. The root i checked also with the Avast firewall turn on, chinese app pop up and ask (push right button) firewall works. I also stop the chinese su program but can not uninstall. I think the only problem is the chinese software give the su from DD not enough rights? I reboot, reinstall and so on without any success. Some solutions for me ?
[Gen10 Android Development] dhigby:
Your tablet is very different from the ARCHOS tablet here so I can't say what to do. I do khow that when the chainsdd superuser program tried to update on mine, it failed the first time. Just pressing the button again and updating again worked the second time.

If you are content to use the chinese su program you can do so with no problems. It is just a localized version of the su binary. However, if you are truly a rooted user, you can search for and replace the su binary file with the English version.

You can also try installing busybox which should update a number of system files, allowing you to fully exploit your command line options.
