[Q] A70 not seen under ADB Devices or Shell

---

Ok, sorry ahead of time for the n00b question, but I cannot get my archos a70 to show up when I query ./adb devices on my Mac. I tried to update the .ini using echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini like Archos says, and I currently have SDE (Angstrom) on the device. Running the device in USB Debug as well. Is there some really basic step I am missing?

Well, managed to get the initramfs from $aur0n and the zImage from ardatdat working on the dev edition. Still can't launch ./adb shell though, so I haven't been able to partition my external sd card and relocate the dev edition to there...

Please, anyone, help. I'm dying here.

I too am having problems (bit of a noob im afraid!)
Could somebody please explain in detail exactly where to put the ini file modification.
Pretty please.

just reread all the rooting posts and realized that I'm doing the partition wrong and don't need to be in adb to partition.

i am currently mounting the external sd via the Archos since i don't have an SDreader. trying to use this post, http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=89, in order to partition, but can't seem to be able to figure out how to do it in terminal.

man, i'm such a noob. perhaps i should have waited til a better, Mac oriented guide was posted....

i'm going to stop posting here as it is no longer adb related.

what kind of problem are you having with the terminal commands?

I am just starting to root my A70 this minute, and they look fairly straightforward. head's up? maybe i can help? what's the issue?

I'm having a hard time getting ./adb devices to recognize that i have the archos plugged in.

I also am unable to perform the fdisk -l, and am confused about the entire partitioning process to be honest. if you are able to do it successfully, i'd really love to know how you did the very basic stuff they leave out of the original thread.
thanks again!

seems my sdcard sucks, i have ordered a class 10 and am waiting on it now... let me know if you figure it out and ill do the same.

Moved to general as not android development.

I am simply trying to modInstallLocation using adb to gain a little more space using my windows 7(64 bit) computer. I have the latest android sdk installed and it all works fine with my htc desire. However i am unable to get my archos 70 to show up as a connected device using the driver from the archos site.
I know how to modify the ini file but am unsure where abouts in the file to insert the modification.
Please help!
