The issue is that Root Explorer is the only one that lets you add the special permissionsFYI Super Manager can do the job for free if you don't have root explorer.

Oh didn't notice that part.
But wouldn't chown 0.0 work?
If not there is always a way with bash + terminal

Could be completely wrong here but I've just been reading the sudru petru thread and it says unpack the ext4 firmware
Would this be right does the firmware need unzipping first.
This tut seems to suggest that you leave the ext4 firmware zipped up
Like I said I could be completely wrong
All the phone roms I use are kept in zip format but the original archos firmware is not zipped

unfortunately im still having problems ill try my best to explain
1)windows 7 will not allow me to download directly to the tablet it shows a picture of the archos tablet and says (you cannot save here please choose another location) so i double click on archos tablet and it show internal storage try to save but get (you cannot save here please chose another location) but i can see files in there dcim android ect.
i can save to the pc and drag the file into internal storage tho the ext4 file is not in any folder it is at the root (other folders in internal storage are android dcim manuals ect i think this is the right place for the ext4 firmware?
i have gone into the app files and through the prcedure mentioned above it just makes a second file ext4 with a number 2 next to it (looks likes its just a copy of the first file)
maybe the problem is here at stage 11 of the second tut
11. Use Volume Up + Down and power to select Developer Edition > Developer Edition menu
when i select developer edition it does not give me a option to select development edition menu ( it just reboots the tablet and loops on the archos logo) i have to then manually hold power and vol up then i see developer edition menu and i can continue the tut from there zimage and the other gz file seem to go on fine but i just loop at the archos logo
the only time i see a second storage device is when i move the zimage and gz file a completely empty drive appears where i move the zimage and gz file to
tried 4 time this morning each time i just loop on the archos logo
when i got the tablet on tuesday i updated the firmware via wifi all went well

Have you tried downloading the ext4 file directly to the tablet?
Try this:
Download dolphin for tab from the market
Open it and go menu>more>settings
Select Download Location and change it to /sdcard
Go to this topic and download the file. It is in the right location now

im getting the feeling that there is something wrong with the internal 8gig memory i cannot save to the phone directly
the file i downloaded through dolphin tablet just downlands to the 250gb hard drive even though i set it to save to /sdcard
there just seems to be a 250gb hard drive and no internal memory within the tablet?
when i try to move the ext4 firmware file with astro into the created /sdcard folder i get the error[ java.io.filenotfoundexception:/mnt/sdcard/archos_3.2.79.ext4.zip (read only file system) ]
do you think theres a fault
the created sdcard seems just seems to be a folder created within the 250gb hard drive! it as if there is no secondary storage just the 250gb hard drive
i done a full reinitialization to put the tablet back to stock but there is still no inbuilt 8gb sd memory
reading the specs on the archos website it seems this tablet the 250gb hard drive version has no internal memory or sd card slot has anybody successfully rooted one of these.
reading play.coms terms i dont think i can even return it because it is not faulty and it need to be unopened for a refund

This is the same issue that I was having last night. I tried it a few times and it was looked like it was trying to boot but would just loop the Archos logo too. I will try saving the .ext4 to the /sdcard to see if it makes a difference.
dont think its has any inbuilt memory or even a sdcard slot when i saved to /sdcard it just went in the hdd to make a second file
maybe a new method of rooting is needed for this model?
i was sure i followed the tutorial there seems to be something different with this dam model
at least its not only me having this issue with the hdd model i thought i was going mad

Does the 250gb model have a SD slot?
Also, if you have done Paul's root method, plug in the tablet into the computer, open a command window and type:
adb shell
ln -s /mnt/sdcard /sdcard

Then the /sdcard folder won't exist. That explains the splashloop. Try my adb method to make it
