I have an Archos 45 Helium 4g phone that I want to use after my usual phone broke.
The Archos hasn't been used for a couple of years and will not power up or charge the battery.
I have replaced the battery with a new one and also found the original would charge with a more powerful charger from a Raspberry Pi 3. However the phone will still not boot, nor enter recovery.
Plugging into a PC, the Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 port is detected and drivers installed. I have downloaded the Qualcomm QPST utility which I understand can be used to unbrick the phone, but need a ROM to flash as part of the process. Archos offer a firmware download for the 45b model on their support pages, but not the 45.

Can anyone advise where I can get a ROM that would work? Is plain Android downloadable from Google?

Thanks.
