Hello,
I have a rooted Archos 50c Neon with stock ROM on Android 4.4.2. I bought the phone in Germany where it is legal to use wifi channel 12 and 13, but unfortunately, I cannot get my phone to find my wifi -- which I put on channel 13. (I use that channel because it is the cleanest where I live.) When I use a channel between 1 and 11 the phone can connect to my wifi which is what I use as a workaround, but I would prefer if my phone found all wifis on channels 1 to 13.

I have searched quite a bit and have already tried to following modifications in vain:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO secure (name, value) VALUES ('wifi_country_code', 'EU');"
reboot
Modifications in /system/build.prop:
Code:
ro.product.locale.region=EU
ro.wifi.channels=14
ro.wifi.country=EU
In addition I also tried DE as country code for Germany instead of EU. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I don't think Archos released any kernels for smartphones except 50 Platinum. You can try to download it's sources from Archos site and try to analyse it's wifi module.
