If you open the change log it says 4.1.5 is also released. But there is no download link !

4.1.5 is for archos TV ... For 101xs it is 4.1.4

question

Hello Surdu Petru,
i managed to downgrade to ICS and install SDE but i have a problem with the usb driver. My archos 101 xs is not recognised by pc whe connected with usb (unrecognised usb peripheral detected). My question is can i copy the archos.ext4, zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo at the same time to /mnt/storage using sdcard first then start procedure.
thank you in advance.

problem of boot

hello all,
i have a problem with my archos 101 xs root:
when my tablet to boot logo as start archos it freeze in developer edition and android normal:crying:
can you help me please

Sorry to bother you, but i have problem. I downgrade to 4.0.26 and install SDE. SDE working OK. Then i download files from first post, push archos.ext4.update with adb shell to /mnt/sdcard. Then reboot to recovery, developer menu, erase android kernel, flash zimage and initramfs (there i must use initramfs without extension "initramfs.cpio.lzo", otherwise it is not recognized by flash after OK). After this tablet reboot and show logo Archos and stay there forever. So i think, name of archos.ext4.update is not recognized by system. (i try naming file "archos.ext4"), but no luck. I try other roms, your Blue and others, but no succes. Then i reboot to recovery, reformat device and use "firmware_archos_it4x.aos" latest version Android 4.1.4 and reboot and make initial settings. This worked. But i cannot install any custom ROM. Which name must have archos.ext4 to be recognized? Much thanks for any suggestions.

How to ROOT Archos Familypad 2


I have tried many posted solutions and then even started looking into making a modified boot image until I finally came across a simple 1 click method. Cost me between 50-100 hrs of research and my personal time so I hope its appreciated by you.



STEP 1: ESTABLISH ADB Driver connection (skip part A if you can do this by yourself)

Part A) This can be a heart breaking experience on this particular device. I am an electrical engineer (msee degree) and I have never had problems getting the correct settings and setting up an ADB driver. But this device busted my butt. SO, to make it easy for you, and for me, download the PdaNet application (PdaNetA4126.exe) - a program called PDANet (used normally to allow you to wired tether your phone’s internet to your computer) can be used to install the ADB drivers for a lot of phones. THEN, on your Archos Familypad, turn on USB debugging, plug into computer, and start PDANet and follow it’s instructions.

Part B) VERIFY ADB: In command prompt, type "adb devices". YOU WILL SEE YOUR ARCHOS DEVICE! You can now safely delete PDANet on computer and on your Archos - we don't need it anymore. If you do not know how to get ADB or how to use ADB then STOP ROOTING YOU DEVICE NOW since you have much to learn and read before you start messing with rooting.


STEP 2: Download: "Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v31.zip"
see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

NOTE: Be careful not to install and malware or other programs from any download sites, just get the zip file ONLY. MUST have version 31!

Unzip, run, select option 1, and presto...... YOU HAVE ROOT !!!!!!

STEP 3: Download from play store "Root Checker" or your own preferred root checking app and see the results.


Even if you restore FACTORY SETTINGS you will still have root! Yea baby!!!!!!


ENJOY................

unroot Archos 101xs

Hello,

for sending a log to a developer, I had to root the Archos 101xs which I bought for my parents.
To root it, I followed this tutorial:
arctablet.com/blog/forum/archos-101-xs/archos-101-xs-easy-root-method/

Now I have the following problems:
- every restart of the tablet they have to boot the "Develeoper Edition" and the whole setup process (update apps, calibrate g-sensor/touchpanel...) has to be passed.
- root is no more needed
- old firmware version is running

Can somebody tell me how to update to the latest ROM / custom ROM with or without root without booting developer edition every time?
Thankyou! :fingers-crossed:

Thank you very much!

Link dead...

Because after a complete clean up of the tablet, games and apps were gone.

This is definitely Firmware 4.0.26 for the 101XS as after reformatting and then installing this firmware it just hangs on the boot screen?

Hi,

sorry if it doesn't work for you... I only have the following files in my folder for rooting the 101XS:
414firmware_archos_it4x.aos
4026firmware_archos_it4x.aos

I'm very sure this is the right firmware file, but I don't have experience with downgrading and if it works...
