ADB on Archos 101 - Gen8 Android Development

Has anyone connect their archos 101 to adb successfully?

---

As long as you have the SDK already installed, follow this (I originally posted this over at the Archosfans forum). I assume you're requesting this for Windows.
----------------
Go to the usb_driver folder (In your SDK root).
Next navigate to the android_winusb.inf file.
Open that file up, and immediately above the [Google.NTamd64] line, and the [USB_Install] line, add the following:
Code:
;Archos 101
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411&MI_01
Then plug your Archos in, and if it asks for drivers, point it to that file. If it doesn't ask for drivers, then navigate to your device manager and find the device with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Uninstall, and then when it finds it again, point it toward that file.
Done.
----------------
Hopefully that will do it for you.

Hi Harfainx,
I followed the steps you mentioned by some how it doesn't work. When calling "adb devices" nothing is showing up.
Deos it matter if my A101 is still in 2.1?

---

Doesn't matter, I've done that on both 2.1 and 2.2.
Are you ensuring that your system is actually updating the driver to the new file?
If so, do a system restart. That should fix your problem.

---

In device manager, I can see Android Phone -> Anchos G8 Composite ADB Interface. So I guess drivers should be properly updated right?
I have restarted both the PC and tablet both but still can't see the device in adb

Linux
Anybody know how to get adb working on a linux box?

Dont forget to modifiy the ".android/adb_usb.ini" (found in your user account folder) file in a terminal/command prompt
Code:
echo "0x0e79" >~/.android/adb_usb.ini
or on Windows:
Code:
echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"

Well, my fix is for Windows, which you don't have to add anything to any other folders.
For Linux it's a bit more difficult. For Windows you only have to add those lines into the one folder (at least that worked for many users on the Archosfans forum since about two weeks ago).

---

(Rom)
anyone know if there has been a rom put out yet for this thing, and anyone give me some tweaks i could possibly do.
installed market and thats really it, read alot about the z4root and theres still some issues with it, so i dont really want to try it out yet

From the archos website
First make sure you are running the latest ARCHOS firmware. Connecting by this method will give you user shell privileges. Learn more to know how to use ADB on Windows, Mac or Linux operating system:
* Go to the Android SDK page and download the latest SDK for your operating system. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
* For Windows users only: Install the Archos ADB USB Driver for Windows. The driver is available at the ARCHOS support ftp (ftp://support.archos.com). Instructions how to install the driver are available at USB Driver for Windows site on Android Developers.http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
* Add Archos vendor ID (0x0e79) to adb_usb.ini in .android folder in your home directory:
o Windows: echo 0x0e79 >> "%USERPROFILE%\.android\adb_usb.ini"
o Macos: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
o Linux: echo "0x0e79" >> ~/.android/adb_usb.ini
* For Linux users only: You need to add a udev rule if ADB only works as root:
o Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules that contains the following lines:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="e79/*", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="e79", MODE="0666"
o Make the rule known to udev with the following command:
udevadm control --reload-rules (or udevcontrol reload_rules on older systems)

Thanks! I will try this soon. Looks promising.

It seems like some people need to add the lines to the .android folder, and some people don't. Not really sure why it works for some people by just modifying the .inf in the SDK.
http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=42495
With an A101, and an A70 at least that's all I needed on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
I never edited anything in any .android folder until I put ADB on Ubuntu.
I see that some people needed to add those lines it, but some people haven't had to do that. Obviously it's best to do it if you're having problems, I'm not arguing with you there.
I wonder why some people need that line and some people don't... Maybe it has to do with having the Gen7 (A5IT) ADB drivers installed from before.

Im not arguing either, i also noticed this too that it works for some. I wonder if it has anything to do with the OS version ie (Windows 7 / XP / linux) ??

I followed your instructions here and on archos fans, in cmd I enter adb devices, doesn't list it but says devices listed. Using esbdview it shows a driver and a serial number. Any other suggestions, and yes I rebooted. Didn't help.

---

Did you try editing the file in the .android folder as outlined by Supagforce further up in this thread? Some people are able to have it work without editing that file, but others have to.

---

Finally ADB is working.
I did it with a combination of instruction from Harfainx and some other from archosfans forum.
Here are the steps:
1. Go to the usb_driver folder (In your SDK root).
2. Next navigate to the android_winusb.inf file.
3. Open that file up, and immediately above the [Google.NTamd64] line, and the [USB_Install] line, add the following:
Code:
;Archos 101
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E79&PID_1411&MI_01
4. Then plug your Archos in, and if it asks for drivers, point it to that file. If it doesn't ask for drivers, then navigate to your device manager and find the device with a yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Uninstall, and then when it finds it again, point it toward that file.
5. start run %userprofile%
find folder called .android
Create/Edit adb_usb.ini, add 0x0E79 inside. Save. Restart ADB service.
After the last step, the A101 shows up with the command "adb devices"

When I attempt to edit the adb_usb.ini all I get is "# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x0e79 ."

You should put "0x0e79"
in a new line

Anybody tried adb wireless app yet? Probably easier to go with that than medling with the usb drivers for windows.

adb wireless with temproot works like a charm
