I have been using Archangel v2 in my Archos 101 16GB firmware 2.1.4 (Android 2.2.1) + 16GB memorycard now from day 1 of publishing and have some problems with SetCPU.

If SetCPU in use (no matter what speeds configured) system hangs 1-10 sec randomly, mostly when turning desktop screen or changing desktops.

Have tested with simple (default) background pictures and default live backgrounds, same behavior with all of them.

Made full reset and formatted everything, restored apps with TitaniumBackup and problem is still here.

Removed SetCPU and installed OverclockWidget.. works better, but still hangs time-to-time.

Even if no CPU-software at all, system feels unstable and sometimes desktop don't responce at all.. but works after ~5sec wait again.

Maybe next I'll just move to SDK. :confused:
[Gen8 General] laurent2o1o:
I wanted to use native code remote debugger feature on the android emulator (SDK tools) to execute archangel's 'ls' on a secure environment. The point was to observe the code execution to understand how the executable is unscrambled and executed and finally get more insight of what it's really doing.

Alas, my fully working Eclipse/ADT environment suddenly failed to launch. I updated the sdk tools to release 9 but it now fails to launch because of glibc version requirements. I'm not root, so I'm stuck for now :-(

Maybe I'll try again at home but I need to re-install a recent distro of linux.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
I doubt this is a result of you using archangel. I suspect it's the 2.1.4 firmware there seems to be a lot of problems with that version.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
You need sde to flash kernels.
[Gen8 General] kamilzierke:
Ooooh, I see now. Thank you for replay. I'm using Android for about a month, so still it's pretty new thing for me :(

So I guess using Archangel without confirmation who really did it and how's it working is just messing with fire? Would antivirus or firewall make a difference

or it can just bypass them?
[Gen8 General] fatboypup:
Probably should have done sde before I got everything the way I wanted maybe ill do it this weekend. :rolleyes:
[Gen8 General] diffnguyen:
I can't root with my A70IT 250Gb, i use version 2.1.4. I don't know why, plz help me :-S
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
I don't trust Archangle. I rooted via SDK and it works very well. No problems and I feel more secure! I debated for awhile about the warranty, but I go back and think how many times have I ever used a warranty.. only once on a TV and that was because of a power surge. I would rather have fun with my tablet and don't want to worry about the security of Archangle.

I vote SDK.. void warranty.. feel more secure.. and have fun!

[Gen8 General] chrulri:
@Tesla warranty can be "voided" with archangel too, it's just not mentioned anywhere ;) nobody will give you a cent if your stuff breaks because of an app which is running with root privileges what normally cannot happen if you don't install archangel or the SDE.
[Gen8 General] NhocCuteGirls:
does this work?

anyone try yet?

I have A70 so i'm not sure if this will work for me

ohh a video demo would be nice

[Gen8 General] fly_us:
Last time i claimed warranty for my 101 on faulty speakers in Singapore with SDE on. The sale rep did not even look to my 101 but agree with no question ask. I think the void warranty part is more software-related issues. If the system hardware is spoiled, they could not say SDE did it.
[Gen8 General] macemoneta:
I hope folks realize that the 'void warranty' condition may not (legally) apply, depending on local laws and regulation. Manufacturers can put all manner on exclusions and limitations in their documentation. However, whether or not they can enforce them is controlled by regulations in effect at the point of sale.

For example, in the U.S., both Dell and HP initially tried voiding the warranty if Linux was installed on their desktops and laptops. Both ended up backing off when regulators gave them an 'Oh really?' glance.
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
I would imagine they void the warranty with a rooted device because you could overclock your CPU to the point of damaging it and they don't want to cover something like that under warranty.

I forgot who wrote that they think it only covers software issues, but this is a case where software would allow you to damage hardware.
[Gen8 General] macemoneta:
How is that different from your PC? You can overclock, overdrive the monitor, overwrite the BIOS, and do all manner of damage. If the manufacturer thinks the damage was self inflicted, they're not going to cover it in the warranty. Why would Archos be treated differently?

Also, OMAP processors (as far as I know) have thermal shutdown. If you overclock and have insufficient cooling, they should not be permanently damaged.
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
It all probably depends on what breaks.. speaker, screen.. probably doesn't matter if rooted or not and will get replaced.. fried cpu.. matters.. won't get replaced.
[Gen8 General] ExploreMN:
Holy go aggressive Batman! Im just saying what their thinking might be. Call and ask if you want to know more. They can write their warranty any way they like. If they want they could say they will only warranty a device that breaks during a full moon! Its their choice...and it is your choice to buy the product or not.
[Gen8 General] macemoneta:
Huh? Are you reading something I'm not writing?

Archangel v2 in my Archos 101 16GB firmware 2.1.4 (Android 2.2.1) + 16GB memorycard stopped working.

Installed it when it was released, worked fine for awhile.. reinstalled everything and got unknown hangups, after that crash & reboots and now Archangel wont work at all anymore.

Just selected 'cleanup' from Archangel and uninstalled.. dammit.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
I can confirm that Archangel v1 works on 2.1.08
[Gen8 General] ske714:
Heat will kill electronics, either slow or fast. Even if you don't "smoke" something all at once, overclocking will definitely, without question, shorten the life expectancy of the processor, and maybe some of the supporting circuitry. Even the battery.
[Gen8 General] Flix123:
What are the differences between v1 and v2?
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
They both work the same, but v2 is suppose to plug a security hole.

I recommend the SDE root:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=930197

Works great!
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
I still like this root method...easy...and warranty still intact...

Just a little warning

For those trying to get adhoc to work VIA wpa_supplicant edit, be carful... I change mine, lost root, couldn't change the file back...had to restore Android....
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
@fuzzer don't worry, if you fry your cpu by overclocking or brick your device by doing stupid things using any kind of root method your warranty is voided anyway. ;)
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
I don't plan on doing "something stupid"...but I agree...you can't fix stupid....
[Gen8 General] chrulri:
yes, and if you're not stupid, you don't need warranty.

but in cases where you need it without being stupid, warranty won't be voided just by installing SDE (for example if display light bricks or the usb port goes wrong). so "warranty still intact" is no argument. ;)

anyway, this was discussed a couple of times here.
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
hardware worries me,....just gun shy....

i do want to try sde root.....gotta get my tethering to work with my fascinate....
[Gen8 General] louis chan:
I knew that could happen. What I did was in adhoc config files, includes some working wifi config.

If unit reset and adhoc could not work, on/off wifi once or twice will hook the device back to a pre-defined wifi connection. Then, you can root it again.

I use gscript to switch config between normal and adhoc mode.
[Gen8 General] jan_tsui:
Any one can use this method to root under 2.1.08?

I have successful to root under 2.1.4, and after that I upgrade it to 2.1.8, and this app work also. But after that I run full re-initialize the tablet, and install again this app, and this time it doesn't work, and how I reinstall it and reformat it, and also don't work.
[Gen8 General] arielp:
i notice one thing, on 2.1.8 (archos 43), if i enable "disable Network Shares" on my Wifi Setting (new on 2.1.8), i can't obtain root,

but if i untick that "disable network shares", i can get root again

.. and on my archos 43, you do not need a internet connected wifi to root,, it will root regardless.., wifi indeed needed.
[Gen8 General] jan_tsui:
oh.. thank for your information, it really work after i un-click the network share, and now I can root again.
[Gen8 General] bobybc:
could you pls point out where is this "network share" option ? i can't find it under Wifi Settings of my Archos 70 (with 2.1.8)

i've got the same problem - have lost root
[Gen8 General] jan_tsui:
When you create a new wifi setting or modify, you will have three option, something like "Show Password", "Power Save", and "Network Share", the network share seem to be new to 2.1.8. Ensure that your firmware is really upgraded to 2.1.8.
[Gen8 General] bobybc:
10x jan

i've just repeated on/off of WIFI several times and then were able to root again
[Gen8 General] pki101:
I have noticed, that selecting 'Obtain root automatically every boot' is really bad selection if taking Archos somewhere without WLAN connection.

My went totally stuck and every time it booted, system hangs badly and ended up crashing.
[Gen8 General] vypyr:
Archangel doesn't work on my device.
[Gen8 General] naga_z:
does this work?

anyon try yet?
[Gen8 General] solarpolitiks:
I hate to be that guy, but has this been tested on the 28? I got the 28 just for the heck of it figuring I would mess around with it and I would love this for ad blocking and root access. I tried searching but since "28" is too short of a search phrase it is completely omitted from my search. The post mentions loading a script from SD card for the ad blocking to work. I guess I am outta luck considering the 28 has no expandable memory then, right?
[Gen8 General] arielp:
fairly safe to use,

Installed it, Working...

2 week passed,

seems i do not need root that bad, uninstalled it (cleanup first from archangel app),

now WIFI Still working, no problem

...

i notice when enabled ''permanent root' its only re-apply at boot (not actually at boot) but after entered the desktop. that makes sometimes 3rd party launcher not responding (FC/WAit), but after i uninstalled it, now faster at booting.

---

actually i rooted for trying TB and LCD Density Changer, but LCD Density changer makes Accelerometer gone bad (not responsive in games, lagging), set to standard density, problem gone.. too bad..
[Gen8 General] arielp:
go for it, its OK,

no SDCARD? dont worry , i belive you still can, it will look for /sdcard/sdcard/extraroot.sh,

after you got root, just mount a directory to a new mount point /sdcard/sdcard/

that way (the system think you have a sd card)

---

this is based on linux mnt method, never tried though, assumed to be working. (it should be)
[Gen8 General] solarpolitiks:
Much appreciated. I thought about mounting a directory like that, makes sense it would work. My 28 should arrive tomorrow most likely and I will go for it
[Gen8 General] Squel:
It's work on my archos 10.1 on firmware 2.1.8 :D
[Gen8 General] Carrigan23:
Had this issue also.

through experimentation i found taht

before going to ad hoc mode make sure you are in temporary root not permanent.

When done using adhoc reboot and normal wifi will function properly
[Gen8 General] fuzzer:
Thanks for the tip...

any hints on how to actually get AdHoc to work? I've tried several methods, with no luck...could be operator error...
[Gen8 General] Carrigan23:
Here is what I do:

Sometimes getting connection back after switching between ad hoc and infrastructure can be flaky - eventally works using methods outlined below.

It's not exactly an eloquent solution, but is worth it on rare occasions when I need it. There a lot of double checks (I get stupid sometimes)

Originally I only needed one wpa_supplicant as it wasn't overwritten when switching, but now need both so i just keep a copy of each and replace as needed. That may not be well explained below, but basically you'll need orignal supplicant when using normal wifi and modified supplicant when tethering.

Note: Using Archangel root.

Be sure to do this using temporary root only

Using andriod-wifi-tether app on Samsung Fascinate rooted with froyo

1) get Rootexplorer

2) open root explorer and find /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Here is mine (second network is my normal router):

update_config=0

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0

ap_scan=2

network={

ssid="AndroidTether"

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=1

mode=1

}

network={

ssid="myssidname"

psk="PASSWORD"

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

priority=1

}

4) overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf in Archos with new content

1st setup

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make a copy of original wpa_supplicant.conf nanming it wpa_supplicant.conf infra orig (or whatever you wish)

Make a copy of new wpa_supplicant.conf nanming it wpa_supplicant.conf ad hoc orig (or whatever you wish)

Establish Ad Hoc Connection

Obtain temporary root

Make sure wpa_supplicant.conf is ad hoc version

Make sure permissions are RW-RW-RW (user, group)

Delete file tiwlan.ini (/data/misc/wifi/tiwlan.ini)

Turn off wifi

Ensure you still have temporary root

Start phone wifi tether

Start wifi in tablet

If wifi connects to infra turn off then back on again

Establish Infrastructure Connection

Turn off wifi

Turn off phone tether

Reboot

Turn on wifi

Turn off wifi

Remove known networks

Turn on wifi

Set password for wifi network

Connect

You will now be unrooted

wpa_supplicant.conf will be set back to infra settings

tiwlan.ini will have been recreated
[Gen8 General] Carrigan23:
Since my last post I retested and came up with better method of re-establishing infra connection. It saves having to turn wifi on and off and having to reenter wifi password.

Went thru whole proceedure several times and worked each time.

Establish Infrastructure Connection

Turn off phone tether

Make sure wpa_supplicant.conf is infra version

Make sure permissions are RW-RW-XX (user, group)

Reboot

Should make wifi connection automatically

If not

Turn on wifi

Turn off wifi

Remove known networks

Turn on wifi

Find your router

Will have to reenter your password for wifi network

Connect

You will now be unrooted

wpa_supplicant.conf will be set back to infra settings

tiwlan.ini will have been recreated

Rooted Archos 101 firmware 2.1.8

Hey I wanted to let you know that I installed Archangel and WAS able to root my device. I am using the newest firmware out on the Archo website 2.1.8!

I ran terminal emulator and did an su command and verified that I indeed have the # prompt! Thank you (who ever you are) for inventing Archangel!
[Gen8 General] Flix123:
Archangel is really great, tested on A70 firmware 2.1.8.
[Gen8 General] Boyzdad:
Having no luck with rooting :(

Hello, just wondered if anyone else (apart from the earlier posters) have and the "please wait" problem I keep having :(

I updated my 70 to V2.1.8 a couple of days ago (when I brought it). My wireless is enabled and connected.

I have installed the Arctools suite,so market is all up and running.

I have tried Archangel-1 as well as V2 (another poster said it worked for them), still no luck, my 70 just sits there with it's middle finger up with the "please wait" displayed.

Any ideas would be gratefully received, I have come up against a brick wall with this :(

Thank you
[Gen8 General] Carrigan23:
Is Archangel true root?

I have seen several posts of several forums stating Archangel is not a true root. They say it allows you to run apps, but some say it won't let you save a file you change and others say they can modify a file, but it reverts back to its original contents upon reboot.

Don't know a lot about Linux so this has me confused especially since the majority of people who say they have Archangel don't mention anything about this. Further, since I got root with Archangel I have been modifying wpa_supplicant.conf using Root Explorer and deleteing tiwlan0.ini on a regular basis. I have successfully done this, the problem being it is a pain switching back and forth between ad hoc and infrastructure. These files are located on \data\misc\wifi on my Archos 101. Is it because these are not "system" files that I am able to modify them? I know I can't see these files without root.

Besides the ad hoc wifi issue, just being able to run apps such as Titianum is probably all I really would need root for so, Archangel is the perfect fit for me.

But if someone could shed some light on the true root issue it would be greatly appreciated. I may want to expand my horizons one day.

Make sure that you don't have "Disable Network Share" set.

OK, under settings I tried....

Wireless & networks/Wi-Fi settings/long hold on "my wireless connection"

Then selected "Modify network" and made sure "Disable network shares" was un-ticked.... it was :( Just to make sure I ticked it, saved it, then un-ticked it and saved it again ;)

Tried Archangel 2 again, same result "Please wait" :(

Any more ideas anyone?

Alright, worked for me:) archos 101

[Gen8 General] ske714:
Have you tried Archangel v1? I've now rooted with the chulry method, but as I recall, I had the same problem with Archangel 2 when it came out. I went back to Archangel 1, which worked just fine. Be sure to uninstall the superuser app if you switch between them. I think the versions used were different.
[Gen8 General] jackson0829:
It is good for me to root the ARCHOS 101
[Gen8 General] sweetypie:
What do you mean by having to switch back and forth between ad hoc and infrastructure?

I have two networks defined in wpa_supplicant.conf - my adhoc network is priority 1, and my home network (infrastructure) is priority 3. When I hit the Wifi icon it tries to connect to the adhoc network. If that fails it tries to connect to the infrastructure network.

All I ever have to do, as you say, is delete the tiwlan.ini file if I ever reboot. Once created, I never edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file again.

Yesterday I had an A101 and two A5ITs connected by AdHoc to a Nokia N97 running JoikuSpot, all at the same time.
[Gen8 General] neldd:
i concure hole hartedly
[Gen8 General] Carrigan23:
I had tried the single supplicant file, but it would worked sometimes not others. I don't remember what I had the priorities set to, but tried the 1 and 3 and it worked fine. The only issue is when I went back to infrastructure from ad hoc, I no longer had full bars for wifi connection. It worked, but speed test got me download of 8mbps whereas with infrastructure I get 12mpbs. My hard wired pc gets 20mbps. Depends on how often one switches back and forth I suppose. Since I use wifi way more than adhoc, I'll probably will use the single files, but I appreciate the tip on getting it to work with one. As I think about it, I'm sure setting of priorities is what did the trick, I'm guessing I had both set to 1. Thanks again.
[Gen8 General] pbarrett:
Archangel stopped working for me too

Archangel had been working for me, but today I just get the Please Wait.

Before, I'd usually have to run it twice before it'd work, and even then it'd take 30-40 sec. But now, nothing.

Darn - I was hoping to do another Titanium Backup, then start over to see if my sleep & USB port problems would clear up.
[Gen8 General] Peaches:
I had the same problem - just rebooted and tried again - SUCCESS :)
[Gen8 General] rokkywoof:
How are you getting A5IT's to work with AdHoc? Does Archangel work for them?

TIA
[Gen8 General] glowco:
By the way, haven't seen it mentioned here (sorry if I missed it). Move2SD Enabler works with Archangel root. You have to be careful not to move root or certain other types of apps, but it does let you move apps you otherwise could not, and free up system storage space. Be sure to read the cautions.

I can't post links, but you can check ArchosFans Forum for more details. The app is on the Market -- Move2SD Enabler (root only)

[Gen8 General] nikokroko:
Hi all,

I've formated my A70 do you believe that there is absolutely no trace of archangel on my device?

Thanks
[Gen8 General] Inciner8Fire:
Got it to work on 2.3.20

When connecting to a wireless network as required by archangel make sure the option to "Disable network shares" is not checked.

I previously had checked it when trying to use archangel and could not get root. I happened to connect to a network where I did not check this and found that after I rebooted it got root automatically with the "Permanent Root" option checked in archangel.

Note I had been playing around with the psneuter exploit to get this to work, but I don't think this is why it is working now.

Hopefully someone can try to duplicate this.
[Gen8 General] bsoplinger:
Does anyone know if it works with the latest 2.3.36 firmware?
[Gen8 General] Zobat:
I lost my root access and archangel is not working anymore
[Gen8 General] chrisnash:
Only way is to try I guess ;)
[Gen8 General] LoGaY:
same questions...

??? :confused:
[Gen8 General] wangsiyu:
it is out of date now
[Gen8 General] Inciner8Fire:
I have gotten it to work, but it is by no means consistent.

Typically I can get root if I open archangel and click the root button, connect and disconnect wifi, then repeat this procedure 3-4 times.

If you use a fast reboot app to reboot, typically it will then get root again immediately after reboot.

You do need to make sure that the network you are connecting to does not have network shares disabled. If they are, this will not work at all.

I have gotten this to work at least times so far.
[Gen8 General] Shiping:
worked for me

It worked on Archos 70, the first try was halt on "waiting" screen, tried one more time and it worked.

Just used Titanium backup to restore my k-9 settings.
[Gen8 General] marioluigi123:
This seems to be the current state. After updating, I didn't have root and I have since rebooted a couple of times for varying reasons. On my current reboot, Archangel managed to root (with the perm root box checked) early enough in the boot that it is now rooted. Guess I won't be re-starting for a while.

For those who really want root, just check the perm root button and reboot a few times...I'm sure that it'll work eventually. It might help that I just used Startup Cleaner to eliminate unnecessary startup programs, liking allowing Archangel to run first.
[Gen8 General] ms07.guf:
Sorry guys

I just updated to new firmware.

I need to do it because this new manage the proxy user ID e pwd and it works for my office.
