[HOW TO] Root, Install Busybox and SuperCharge your G9
- Thread starter Quinny899
- Start date
I really screwed up! I've done everything right to a "T" except this apparently. I didn't extract the archos_3.2.79.ext4 on the root. I still have it in a .zip. I wish the directions were clear on that, I'm coming from CWM .zips, and for me it is not at all uncommon.... But here I am after the fact. I keep boot looping and would love an idea on how to get an extracted version on the root of my internal. I'm on step 14 of post 3 f.y.i.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: Reloaded stock 4.0.5 and I'm good. Thanks anyways XDA.

Defeated!!
Hi, I am attempting to root my 80 9g 8gb but have had some problems finalising it.
The device is recognised by ADB, the temp root procedure appears to complete properly. Only one niggle, after adb reboot for 1 and 2, windows (7) tries to install MTP drivers but fails. I don't know if this is significant.
Enabling sde seems to complete correctly but when I enter the cmd:
adb shell rm /data/local.prop, it ends in the line :
cannot remove '/data/local.prop': Permission denied.
This seems to be the sticking point.
Regardless, I have tried to finalise the root by copying Árchos_3.2.79.ext4 file to the root of Internal Storage but when I close down and reboot into recovery, there is no option for the developers edition menu.
When I then reboot, the tab starts up normally with no problems.
Any help, in simple terms, would be appreciated.
As an afterthought, how do I correctly close down the cmd window when I'm finished? At the moment I am using task manager to end the process.

You can just close the window, no need for taskmanager ;D
By the way, does the supercharger work for ICS? I'm running a rooted 4.0.5 rom right now and I was wondering whether it was possible or not...
What does it do anyways?
@ mavmaarten
Thanks for the reply. If I just exit the cmd window, when I ask Windows to eject the tablet, it tells me that it can't eject because it is being used by another program. To get a clean eject, I have to stop the adb.exe process through. Task manager.

Adb is safe and doesn't interfere with anything usb related

Adb runs as service in background, there is no need to end this process.

Ok I'm back for more advice trying to root my g9 8gb.
Well I get through almost all the tut and boot into the rooted firmware, great. I then switch off normally and the boot back into recovery to uninstall the android kernel. Unfortunately, there is no option to do that available so I am unable to finalise the root process. The only extra option available is to uninstall the dev edition and if I choose that option then, obviously I have no system to boot to.
Can anyone advise me why this should be so? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Don't worry about removing the kernel--I don't see that menu choice either. Just continue as if you already did that step and it will work fine.
Hi guys, I'm about to start root on my new archos 101 G9, just wondered if there was anyone online that could help me if i get stuck somewhere???

Telyx, thanks once again. I did as you suggested ref android kernel and everything seems to be fine.
If anybody, like me, has difficulty with navigating to the different file locations using the adb command line interface, try doing as I did.
Instead of having the files in different locations, extract them from their folders and place them in the 'platform tools' folder. Then open the pt folder, shift> right click on an open space within the folder and select open a cmd window from the menu. All that is needed then is to enter the commands as per the tut and adb has the files to hand for execution.
The files I mean are:
* Files 1 and 2
* Files from the enable sde folder
This worked for me, perhaps it will help someone else who is having difficulty.
Just to reiterate what Telyx has suggested ref 'remove android kernel', if the option is not available then you already have root so ignore that step.
Thanks to all who were involved in getting root and Quinny899 for the tut. Also thank you to those who kept me on the right path.

I have a couple of qustions about rooting this device, got enough with CWM etc and flashing stuff on htc hd2 and u8120.
I can get temp root with ease, first question. How long does the temp root stays for? So can I temp root it, reboot etc, and continue the next day with the progress.
After this step you need to enable SDE, this was easy. I got into the recovery menu untill step 13 correctly. But after this the tablet reboots and keeps getting bootlooped. Can't figure out what went wrong here.
With some logic I could luckely go back to the original firmware by downloading it from the archos website (it's an ext4 file). And flashing this through the recovery menu. So now I'm back with a fresh ICS, but I have to redo all steps now.
Ps.
After deleting many files I can't try all these steps again because the step where you gain temp root (step 5 here) the files can't be downloaded again from Filefactory, it's always busy. Can anybody make a mirror for these files?
Ps2.
@ the above messages: I figured out the same things, just move the 1 and 2 files to your adb folder, saves me many command lines

I had the boot loop issue also.
I discovered that to get into recovery, you have to be very, very quick to release the buttons as soon as the Archos logo appears.
If it starts to boot loop you have been too slow. Hold the power button until the tab switches off and go through the boot to recovery procedure again. Sometimes, it took me a couple of attempts before I got in.
I also had ICS installed and used the ics files from sudru_petru.
Hope this helps.
