Hi!

Try another cable or download again the firmware. Verify if it's the good version.

Tell us which tab you have :rolleyes:

And try to learn how to use the search function of this forum, as we had this question and many answers allready.

for ex: did you make sure that the aos file has the correctg name?
Or maybee you could post the complete errorcode!

Sorry if there is another same thread

When I installed UrukDroid 1.6.4 update I got 2 problems..
1.when the device was in standby mode,the hard drive was working and I consumes the battery in a few hours.
2.I tried to install applications from the market but no luck because ''not be installed in space usb or sd card''

So I decided to do Reformat the Device...
I installed SDE
after I installed android firmware(bizcuite you had absolutely right buddy.i download again the firmware and everything is ok now.)
I installed the custom kernel + initramfs and then UrukDroid 1.6.
so far so good...

when I tried to install again UrukDroid 1.6.4 update the Device stuck (The screen and buttons didn't respond)...:(:mad:

now I reinstall again the SDE and android firmware
reinstall the custom kernel + initramfs
and reinstall the custom kernel + initramfs UrukDroid
i am trying to reinstall UrukDroid but the Device stuck in screen ''tranfer now installation file over usb and press power button once''
what should i do now?
i have a Archos A70H

sorry but my english is not very good

As stated here and in the dev part, stay away from uruk as long as you don't know what you are doing.
Uruk is still not ready for the harddrive version.

It wasn't meant to be hard on you.
Uruk is optimised for the sd version.
ATM it is installed on the harddrive and therefore it consumes alot more batterie and is not really as stable as on the A70S.
That's why you really have to know what you are doing.

And $auron has the Problem ATM that his device is broken, so the development is not as fast as before.

Not ATM.

The problem is that the A70H is different to the A70S as the h only has 2gb of ssd and that is partitioned differently and as neither $auron nor divx118 have one to test it will probably not change in the near feature.

So atm the best thing you can do is chulri's root or live with the restrictions of UrukDroid.

It shows a lower % at times then actual voltage drain of battery, if you deep sleep it an wake up the % will jump up from say a 50% to about 80%, i also take some power savin precautions like disablein wifi and using nightmode (thanks chainfire3d) it helps with display power and also no glare lol, but i havnt really ever had a power drain issue as far as it goes lol i guess i got lucky somehow or managed to do something righ for a change lol ;)

Only touch screen is not responsive, or nothing is displayed at all?

You can still see the boot progress on the screen?
