[TWRP][AC50HELLO] Unofficial TWRP recovery for Archos Hello 5

[Dawnowl444]

Hello all,

I'm a newbie to this but I recently build a TWRP image for the Archos Hello 5.

GitHub - Dawnowl444/android_device_archos_ac50hello: Twrp Device tree of Archos Hello 5

Twrp Device tree of Archos Hello 5. Contribute to Dawnowl444/android_device_archos_ac50hello development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

Everything is mostly working except data decryption. If anyone does know how, you're welcome to share this knowledge !
I don't really know where to post that in view of the age of this Archos forum part of XDA...

Disclaimer :
You're free to flash, test, and fork my TWRP image/tree but I'm not responsable in case of brick or anything.

How to flash TWRP :

1. Unlock developer options
2. Allow OEM unlock (and activate ADB debug)
3. Reboot to bootloader (`adb reboot fastboot`)
4. Unlock your bootloader (`fastboot oem unlock`)(Do not lock back your bootloader after device tweaking or you will brick)
5. In fastboot flash this TWRP image (`fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_9-0-ac50hello-userdebug.img`)
6. Reboot in recovery (`fastboot reboot recovery` WHILE pushing the + button and then follow on screen instructions)
7. And voilà you have now TWRP installed

• Know I advise you to backup your device (avoid flashing back, and never flash someone else, IMEI/NVRAM or other critical partition like that).
• Feel free from now on to flash : Magisk for root, OpenGapps for clean Google apps, GSI rom for latest Android, or anything you like.
• AC50HELLO is "ARM 32-bit, A-only" for Treble/GSI rom.
• If you want improved performances and do not care about split-screen mode then flash :

Turn any Android 8.1 Oreo ROM into an Android Go-Optimized Version

If you are running a rooted Android 8.1 Oreo ROM, here's a mod that enables Android Go's special properties to make Oreo run on low-end hardware.

Great one! Could this be ported to the Hello 7 and 10 as well?

I would have love to but the thing is that I do have an Archos Hello 7 but it's completely bricked and I tried to revive it without much sucess... And the Archos Hello 10 is too expensive right now.

Now, could you transfer twrp to archos 10? I found a way to fix this device

If you bought me one will do, but in the meantime I won't spend 154,78€ on it
