Hi ...
also ...merci beaucoup !
- you can install over 4.0.24, no worries !
& for data backup I'm afraid you need to use a application from PlayStore !
Good luck ! :good:

Hi Surdu

Installed this rooted version, ran O.K. .I've reverted to Clean-Slim-Fast as I prefer the slimmed down version.

Best regards

hello j have a problem, I have installed the update 4.0.25 after a format and puts it impossible to install the SDE or go back to a 4.0.7 error 221, I do not understand s help you please. I precise that only official firmware 4.0.25 agrees to install s.

Message i try installed SDE in 4.0.25 : this firmware uptdate is too old for your hardware version (221)

Hi, plse just confirm i have do the good step (all work fine for me, i just want confirm all)

I have downgrade to 4.0.6, after temp root and install sde, i've install again the 4.0.6. After i installed the 4.0.7 (delete the kernel) with root and 4.0.24 with root too.

And now the 4.0.25

Is that the correct step?!

beter for you make a clean install and reinstall all !!

In your situation i tried uninstall sde,.. format all and install the 4.0.6 official and do all step again (root, sde..)

in other words i tried a clean install!

 

[muti642]

i tested your methode not work update failed (221) , my tablet is dead?


I'm going crazy I'm super archos hang on 4.0.25 and without SDE, I want to break the tablet in half so it makes me going crazy

So I managed to install j SDE via the old method, HE WAS time I lost patience.
I should be able to install the 4.0.25 root surdru but it does not always tells me why I can not go back to the old firmware.

HI

what's the best GOVERNOR for save battery duration??

 

[TrOjAnUK]

Decided today to root and install SDE my new Archos g9 8gb and install this rooted rom, unfortunately as I had applied the standard 4.0.25 firmware there was an error when trying to install the SDE.

I tried returning to stock 4.0.7 but that now reports it is too old for my rom.

Looks like Ill be staying on the standard rom for some time yet lol

TrOjAn

****UPDATE****

Reading back I saw muti642 had the same issue, after trying the OLD outdated method I have now been able to install SDE and the latest rom.. thanks all

Hi!

You do the right steps for install the last firmware 4.0.25 !
If you have problem with any app, please uninstall apk and try to reinstal from PlayStore!
Also you need to check what governor is the best on savebattery! , for sure is not hotplug!
Good luck!

So, now you have managed to install SDE, or not ?
( For Official Firmware you are not allowed to downgrade firmware ! On root version you can install any firmware you want ! )

I had similar problems with some applications google owner, and I resolved by reinstalling ! :good:
( also for full compatibility please , first use English to see if is there some issue ! )

The best Governor for our tablet seems to be hotplug, is the only one who knows how to manage both processor cores !
...also you can take a look here ( Android CPU governors explained ! )

Hi!

Hi!

What was the problem?

The problem was error 221 or 223 depending on where I was and what I was doing.. basically::

On a NON rooted Archos 8gb 101 I updated to the official 4.0.25 (which worked) and then I wanted to install SDE / Root.

I was unable to do either using the newest ( link here ) method but the OLD method ( link here ) worked, that then allowed me to install SDE and then a custom rom.

On a side note: Can anything be done to improve the audio volume? When I watch a movie I have to use earphones as the speaker volume is too low?

( For Official Firmware you are not allowed to downgrade firmware ! On root version you can install any firmware you want ! )




the problem was only after doing the update from 4.0.24 to 4.0.25 installing the SDE was no longer possible error code 221.
to solve it took Roote and install the sde of the old method (with adb), I have the install your room.

Ok !

I understand :good:
...but, I do not understand, why you need to reinstall SDE - as long as SDE does not uninstall single, after you perform a new update ....

 

[solrakk6]

just litle question.

Imagine now i run 4.0.25 root from surdu ... tomorrow i want restore all to the latest official firmware ..

Just need delete sde menu

format all and put the file to update?! and voila.. It's easy like that?!

I dont want comeback.. i like too much this version and rooted better still !!

just for knowledge

Congatulations for your work surdu without you was impossible have a clean stock rooted rom.
