[ROM] Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.6(4.0.3) - ROOT Version - only for enabled SDE !

surdu_petru · May 3, 2012

Hi all !

Rom => Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.6 - Root & Busybox - based on Stock Archos ICS Firmware 4.0.6 !

In this Rom original files have not been modified, only was added "su" , "Superuser.apk" & "busybox" !

All improvements to the original Firmware 4.0.6 , you can also find in this Root version .

This Root version works on all tablets gen9, is stable and can be used as a daily ROM !

These are the files you need to install Root Version :

- archos.ext4.update in archive archos.ext4.406.zip =>1° https://hotfile.com/dl/154875410/d03696b/archos.ext4.406.zip.html => 2° http://www.2shared.com/file/80i1MXqz/archosext4406.html
- zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo in archive archos.406.zip => 1° http://www.4shared.com/zip/VXFNNLpf/archos406.html => 2° http://depositfiles.com/files/3p7cqyeq6 => 3° https://rapidshare.com/files/3553644044/archos.406.zip

Installation :

- copy archos.ext4.update into Internal Storage ( /data/media ; /mnt/storage )
- reboot into SDE menu and under Developer Edition Menu , Flash Kernel and Initramfs : copy zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo on the new driver that appears on desktop/laptop ;
- ok ! and wait for reboot your devices : after reboot you can see Android update system for a while .....be patient !

In this Rom we do not have custom "bootanimation" , no extra apps added , anything else in addition to original !!!

regards,
surdu_petru

that was very quick work sir!

I'm not sure if I'll update, in "test firmware thread" it was reported that pdf reading still is a problem for the 4.0.6 firmware.

BTW- initramfs are quite universal- ICS init still can boot honeycomb (Multiboot init works fine, Letama's init+cwm works fine but I didn't test CWM yet)

Hi, so this is 4.0.6 rooted based on the new fw that came out just today? NOT the test2 FW, right?

Thank you surdu_petru!

Do you suggest to wipe after the firmware upgrade from 4.0.5? Thanks.

hi surdu_petru

it may be useful, even if 100% should be a pure case. I have always had less trouble (crashes, reboots) with your "light rom" than other rom (ics blue / rooted rom). On my hot g9 101 the most stable rom is your "ICS Firmware 4.0.5 - Overclock Edition". thank you

Thank you very much!

hi, first I updated to standard 4.0.6, all ok. then installed this rom. with standard 4.0.6 wifi works, using rooted version wifi doesn't work. I have always "getting IP" and discnnects. ciao

blogmaw · May 4, 2012

Thanks!
So just basically, there isn't any way to gat the multiboot to work with both ICS@Blue and Stock rooted FW with multiboot? I don't really know how to handle your .update files. I currently have Ubuntu and ICS@Blue v1 in /data/local and modified Multiboot Kernel & initramfs. Could you tell me how to get this Stock rooted with my other images? Thanks

HI!

I think ( I'm not sure ..) ...you need to rename archos.ext4.update -> archos.ext4 for work in multiboot , also you can ask @sirduke989 !

Thank you, surdu_petru!

One thing I wonder about: After installing this updated all my homescreens where reset to factory settings (all homescreens clear, only a few standard apps on homescreen 3).
Every other time I installed one of your modified ROMs or any of the original ROMs my homescreens stayed as I set them up before.

Am I the only one this happened to?
All the other settings where kept, only the homescreens where reset.

blogmaw · May 5, 2012

Yes me too. I guess the update reinstalls launcher. Try to make a backup for next time

Hi!

Yes, you are right ....all this because launcher2 was reset !
