Hey guys, Ive got a question.
My company has an android application that we license to companies, and we would like to purchase a few hundred android devices to load our application on to and then sell the devices at cost, but license the software that is on the device.
We have looked at several different android devices and saw the Archos 43 at a good price point, with the screen size we want. We are currently using Motorola i1's, but want something cheaper, and something that give us the ability to customize what firmware is on the device.
I was wondering if there is quick way (remember, we are going to have hundreds of these devices) to load our application on this device, and strip/remove all pre-loaded applications that came with the device.
We only need the wifi and the camera to work.
Would it be easiest to have a custom ROM that has basic Android with our program built in? Can this even be done, and are there any restrictions on this device as far as flashing a custom programmed Android OS. I see on Archos's website they talk about being able to load custom images, but not much detail about it.
On their website it states, "...ARCHOS has ‘opened up’ their Internet Tablets allowing users to install or even replace the Android system installed on the device."
This statement says that its "opened" up the tablets, but throughout the forums I see that the device doesn't already come rooted, and you need to root it before flashing a new ROM.
Thanks,
Christopher
1. Std. Archos is not rooted and is not even able to be rooted atm.
2. Archos has provided the SDE, a customised FW that allows a second kernel and Initram to be installed.
3. because you can then remove the Archos Android you can have a "custom rom".
You can't really stip down the Android to a point where it is secure without a very good knollage of android and the device itself.
To see how easy a custom ROm could be installed, look at UrukDroid installation.
http://code.google.com/p/urukdroid/wiki/Installation
Hey Chris
What you've read on the ARCHOS website is the SDE firmware. This "special" firmware from ARCHOS will not replace the operating system but it will you allow to install any custom kernel / initramfs.
So I think you better stick with the original firmware, but modify the system image as far as you want to go. Then you modify the init script in the initramfs to do not check the signature of the system image and there you go, easily customized Android, based on the original ARCHOS firmware.
BUT: Even though it's quite easy to flash a custom kernel / initramfs (just boot into recovery mode), it's not that easy to replace the system image because you have to write some scripts in the initramfs to do so and to be able to "upgrade" the image, etc..
That's just my input. Have a look at the links in my signature for further tricks and hints how to do stuff and links to my projects which are based on SDE and ARCHOS firmware.
There might be another solution, stick with UrukDroid (search the forums), an already highly customized and improved version of the official ARCHOS firmware, including installer, tools, etc..
Thank you both for the fast replies.
I'd rather not try go the two routes you have mentioned just for legality reasons, because the devices will be resold and I wouldn't want to get into that area...
Do you know of any devices that are more open to modification?
Thanks again.
Just yesterday i stumbled across http://www.taztag.com/index.php?opt...e&id=75:tazcard&catid=38:slideshow&Itemid=125
I don't know a price, but esp. for my needs the nfc part is interesting.
Hi everyone
Yesterday i tried to root my G9 but somehow i failed.
What exactly went wrong? - i am not sure.
I gained temp root, i activated SDE and i was able to push the new ROM via adb to the device.
Ok, i was not able to delete the existing kernel because the menue item was not present (later i discovered that this is now present in developer menue...)
Anyway after all these steps my Archos was traped in some boot circle (boot -> off -> on -> boot -> off -> on)
So i tired many things like repair and else.
Now i thought that it should be possible to start from that point where i upload a new ROM and replace the kernel.
Replacing kernel is no problem but it seems that i cannot upload any ROM because the RAM disk only offers approx. 250megs and all available ROMs are larger. So Windows keeps telling me that i cannot copy these files. :-(
Now i don't know what to do. Why do i have so few space? How can i get more space?
Reseting and reformating Archos was no solution.
Any ideas?
The A101S_REC ramdisk is only fit for official firmware.
You cannot install custom firmware through the 'Update Firmware' option.
So you should download an official firmware from here, and install that
ah... ok thank you
then i will install ICS again and start all over again.
Thank you!
You don't need to start all over again.
SDE is still enabled after you update your firmware to a new official version.
You can just copy the custom firmware to /data/media (for flash model) or /mnt/storage (for HDD model) and reboot.
It will install the firmware.
After that, go into SDE, remove Android Kernel and you're done
Hello,
THBK1-10 is a cheap dual system (Android 4.2.2 /Windows 8.1) tablet based on Bay Trail (Intel Atom Z3740D). More details http://www.thomsoncomputing.eu/dualboot.html
I'm trying to hack it, and especially get root and use non-signed zip in recovery. Basically i'm stuck at theses points, and i'm requesting directions to continue the work.
I have posted in W8 section, but obviously, this is no longer the place
General
------------
* i can use a work-around to write system (/system, /data) partitions
* i can flash signed updates via recovery
* google apps are working flawesly. Only thing is to keep original files (stock keyboard and layout)
-> i would like to flash non-signed zip via recovery, but i guess i have to build a custom recovery, or can i exploit something else ?
Root:
-------
* no auto root is working (z4root, towelRoot). Regarding towelRoot, i tryed each 8 common parameters, and i don't really know how to do others. I have also heard this is only working in 4.4.2+
* pushing su is not working. When i'm launching it, let's say from terminal, i have a code 255 return (-1). Tested with both arm and x86 version (i'm still wondering why arm su is also returning -1, i would have expect a non valid binary. Or perhaps my x86 version is bad ?
-> i'm still trying to dig this issue, and idea on how i could do ? i believe running SU was enough... but it seems not. Any idea ?
Many thanks !
Bump. the way it is booting is based on ramdisk images (one for normal android boot, one for android recovery).
I have acces to theses img, and i can, with hexedit (perhaps mounting them directly at a filesystem), view the whole init sequence.
My question is : what triggers the root invalidation ? AFAIK, everything is done as root (mounting FS, updating permissions, etc....). Basically i can't really figure how it is handled.
Thank you !
Solved !

Woaw ! I'm very happy to see that somebody tried and succeed to root the THBK1 ! Please can you share your method in a tutorial when you'll have time ? :laugh:
Hello, yes !
I'm actually writing a GAPPS tuto, which is intensively tested by Zeksaine. Root will be added, as this is only a simple step inside the whole process.
This is a bit technical (read boring), but it worths the try. My TODO list is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799404 , and while i'll take a little break, i hope soon to have custom recovery allowing you to directly flash gapps or supersu.
Yes ! I confirm ! Graveen has installed GAPPS on Thomoson THBK1 / Danew Dualboot tablet with sucess ! I'm not familiarised with linux environnement and realize it, but it requires some knowledges of linux command (coLinux especially)
Graveen is the only one users identified that it can put GAPPS on android environnement concerning this tablet.
Big thanks to him !

I own a Cube U100GT and it's one of the many Chinese brothers of your THBK1-10. But mine came only with W 8.1.
I just start looking for a dual boot solution and I'm happy to know that it's is possible.
I don't need root for while, just play some games and apps.
So the original Android "ROM" of the tablet can do the job.
My version have 64Gb SSD and I've already resize the Win partition to make room for a new system.
Where can I look for a dual boot tuto and find this Android version?
Heya, can you post your partition list ?
What is the bios of your tablet ? Can you wire an USB keyboard to see this at boot ?
Basically, they effectively seems identical.
For partial update, you can find one here: http://www.danew.com/support-pilotes-manuels.php?type=218&produit=219 but it relies on existing android partitions i still have not dumped.
Android-x86 could worth a try also, although i doubt you will have all drivers (touch, gyro, etc..)

The partition list is the standard for a windows installation (but no windows image on the end):
1: 300 Mb (Windows RE)
2: 100 Mb (System)
3: The rest (Windows). My SSD is 64Gb.
My tablet already comes with a dedicated keyboard cover, so I have full access to to UEFI Bios.
There's a lot of numbers:
Aptio Setup Utility Version 2.16.1242
Vendor - AMI
Core Version - 5.008
Project Version - 3BAGR 0.03
EC FW Version - 201401101A
Intel GOP driver - 7.0.1029
Sec RC Version - 00.05.00.00
TXE FW Version - 01.00.02.1060
I found the drivers pack for windows 8 and so I could install my PT-BR edition of W81. And reserve 20Gb at the end for another OS.
It's my first UEFI machine and I'm completely lost. There's a lot of options and I can't understand a quarter of that.
On the Tabletrepublic forum someone said that my bios recuse everything except a Windows pendrive. If is true, there's no way to put Android but changing/patching the UEFI.
Android x86 is for desktops right? And the Intel site, can I find Android images there?
Thank you. What i'll do is to check if my bios is identical to yours, because there are effectively numerous options. Then, i could finsh to dump my android partitions and let you play with them.
Honestly, the trick is the OS selection system, which is bring by the EFI bootloader (and certainly a dedicated partition). Once selection is done, another EFI bootloader (windows only) is called.

Hello guys,
Is there a possibility to update the "archos 10.1 (gen8)"
from android froyo 2.2 to android 4.4??
And if it is possible would it be worth it to do that ?
Will speed and so increase the tablet?

Here is the link to ICS (4.0.x): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941377
And here is the link to GB (2.3.x): http://dev.openaos.org/wiki/AndroidInstall_CM7_Gingerbread (there is also a thread on this forum)
Unfortunately the openaos site seems to be down right now (was up in the morning and last night when I answered you) but anyway I did find cm9 (ics) to be more stable and "usable" (less bugs than actually affect usability) than cm7 (gb) although no doubt quite a bit slower than cm7, but again that's me that has at least 300 apps installed on each android device and that goes back to since I had a HTC Touch Pro 2 and turned it from an windows mobile device to an android one and the specs on that were way lower than the ones on the gen8.
Also feel free to ask any questions you may have related to our gen8 tablets, I am one of the "lost souls" still using this tablet and I can say that judging by the fact that I bought this quite soon after it was released (at least in my country) I can say it has served me well since then and I still think it is a decent device (although I do now have a much better and much more powerful tablet device too, my 101it is still a fun thing to play around with).
Hello again I will give it a try now.
Any idea where I can download the kernel ?
Because the download link doesn't work on the link you gave me for android 4.
I just posted for it.
Would you still have it or could you reupload this for me?
Would be awesome.

The link that you are talking about that isn't working is the kernel source link (which is actually very unfortunate) and not the kernel itself, the kernel can be downloaded from the attachments of the first post in the thread (a zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs files)
Hello again ,
I will set it on a row:
1. Cm9 image download (ok)
2. Initramfs.cpio.gz download (ok)
3. Kernel download
(which files are the kernel to download zimage and the initramfs.cpio.gs??)
I can't see a link to the zimage ?? Can you give me the correct link?
4. Data.img.tar.gz download (ok)
Install kernel by SDE menu
(ok I know how to get in the SDE menu but what steps I have to do there?)
Where to configure menu.Ist (is that the one I downloaded in the attachements downstairs?
What about the terminal ? How to enter the terminal to activate Bluetooth?
What is the swap configuration??
Ok and one last question, at the moment my Archos 10.1 gen8 is running on Urukdroid must I remove the sd card for this procedure and reinstall the SDE firmware or not?
Or is this method for cm9 (android4) not like urukdroid method??
Sorry for all my questions but I don’t want to make mistakes.

There are a few files starting with zImage, chose one of the 3 of them and rename it to just zImage (no extension and don't extract it although when youu will download it it is an archive, just rename it to zImage and I can't really tell you which one to choose cause I do not know which of the 3 will work best for you, I personally use the 35% one.
To flash it you will use the same procedure as for urukdorid but you will loose access to urukdroid, though you don't need to remove your card and also AFAIR the OpenAOS multi-boot menu does not have the ability to boot at tablet boot (or I am wrong, not sure) so you might have to reboot in recovery and run developer version each time you want to boot it.
You could also use kboot for even more multi-boot and being able to still use urukdroid, I think I posted a mirror for the files on it's thread, or at least I wanted to, if I didn't I will. BUT if you do want this first backup the urukdroid kenrel and initramfs, I can tell you how to do it if you intend to do this, if loosing access to urukdroid is ok for you then I'd say don't bother, uruk isn't that great, you can get the same things on stock after getting root on it, though I could still recommend using it as that's the only way to have rooted stock using the kernels here on the forums or being able to boot also GB and/or debian/bodhi/whatever other linux distro you fancy.
For the OpenAOS boot menu you indeed need to download that menu.lst and put it on the storage, it is already setup for booting CM9 so you don't really need to do much more here.
Swap is already configured so you don't really need to do anything about that or worry about it, it's just info and for the bluetooth I think terminal emulator comes preinstalled so you do the commands in there but I would recommend creating a bash script and downloading SManager from play store and using that to create a homescreen shortcut to your script (I could also share you my script if you would like later after I charge my archos.
Also there is no initramfs.cpio.gs that was a typo, it's actually .gz so you have the right file and the kernel is the zImage.
In the SDE menu just do the steps you did when you flashed urukdroid but only place the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage without a 3rd file (if I remember correctly the steps for flashing urukdroid), I can't really tell you what steps to do in there as I don't really remember, it's something like go in the repair menu and click flash developer firmware or something along those lines I think.
EDIT: Also if you intend to edit the menu.lst file for whatever reason (if you want to use kboot to add the CM7 kernel and use that to boot CM7 and/or debian for example) don't use windows notepad, instead install notepad++.
Ok this makes some things clear to me
Yeah is also a long time ago urukdroid installing.
I found the guide from it but it seems idd similar to your explanation.
https://code.google.com/archive/p/urukdroid/wikis/Installation.wiki
ok I Installed Kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz
But what about installing cm9 image?
1. I did extract "CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6_A101.img" and copyd it to the root.
2. I did uncompressed data.img.tar.gz, I choosed one of the 3 images and renamed it to data_ICS.img
3. I did copy the 2 files to the root.
But what now how to install it? That's not specificly said how you must do it.
Can you help me ?

You need to also drop the menu.lst file on the internal memory and have the cm9 image named as CYANOBIZ_BETA2.6.img then just got to recovery and boot the developer edition firmware and you will be greeted by a boot menu with just one item, click power and it will boot and that's it.
You don't really install anything, the tablet will boot from the img file and use the data.img file as the data partition, that's all (and if you decide to move any apps to the sd card aka internal memory don't boot in an other android os like stock because the android_secure folder will be wiped, though I am not sure CM9 allows you to, I know CM7 does).
Also I have uploaded kboot and it is on the thread in the development section if you want to use that for more flexible multi-boot (or at least to have the multi-boot menu loaded at every normal boot without needing to enter recovery to boot ics), although now it will be a bit hard to obtain the uruk kernel in case you still want to boot that, it is possible, you just need a linux computer or the ext2fsd driver in windows, I can't really give you the kernel from my installation of it since I understood yours is on the sd card and mine is on the internal memory.
And if you would like I can give you kboot already set up with the stock root kernel and all the 3 ics kernels to make it easier for you.
Ow ok will try tomorrow.
Euhm yeah urukdroid is no more on tablet I think I installed last sde firmware.
The kboot is that for switching between then Linux similar system and android 2.2 and android 4 and maybe urukdroid if I reinstall it (not necessary for the Moment?)
Yeah I will try out that kboot you may send it to me if you want. Maybe it's cool feature
Thanks in advance

If urukdroid was on the internal memory and you just installed the sde firmware it was not removed and I can send you my uruk kernel, if you first went to recovery and did a full format and then installed the full firmware and then the sde then it is no more on the tablet.
If it was on the sd card then nothing affected it unless you put the card in the pc and used something like minitool partition wizard to delete all partitions and I can not give you the kernel.
Yes, kboot is a chroot based multi-boot menu (think GRUB but unable to boot non-linux kernels, I think) and it allows booting android 2.2, 2.3, 4.0 and linux distributions as ubuntu (although the ubuntu for archos files are gone but you can still use it to boot the kernel from OpenAOS and boot debian from that bootmenu, which will be the same boot menu you will get from android 4.0 though you can not boot stock or debian from that as the kernel is different, well you might be able to boot it but most things won't work, like wi-fi and the likes).
Ok, I will send you my already set up kboot but first tell me if your urukdroid instalation was on the sd card or internal memory and what you exactly did to the tablet cause then I might be able to throw in my uruk krenel and thus you will also once again have access to that as well.
Hello first of all I wanted to say I just got into android 4.4.
But when I start it up I get a lot of messages that are saying.
This application doesn't work anymore.
Any idea what this could be?
Hmm after looking I restarted it and now it works better the android 4.4
But how do you put something on the internal memory if I connect them with usb to laptop I can't acces the root with all my files.

It is clearly stated that you can't access the internal memory via msc on the ics thread, only the sd card, and that is also true for any firmware that boots from an img file since the img is on the internal memory and that would mean cutting the system's access to itself=crash.

Hello again,
Owkey now if I start up my tablet android 2.2.1 startsup
(firmware version: 2.4.83)
I did set the iso file from cyanobiz_BETA2.6.img on my internal memory.
So cm9 boots nice on the tablet but I must go first to the SDE (by pushing volume + ) then a see a white menu -> developer edition -> and chose cyonade and it start good
Urukdroid was installed on my sdcard but that doesn't start anymore as standard at moment. don't know why?
Before I started with cm9 I installed the latest SDE firmware for archos 10.1 gen8. (and the procedure to runb cm9)
Would it work with your kboot file so I can choose between:
android 2.2 (Archos),
Android 4 (CYANOBIZ)
Angstrom (openAOS)
urukdroid 1.6 (not in the menu)

Kboot will make it load at boot so it will go to the boot menu instead of stock 2.2 from where u can choose what to boot or (after a period of time) it will just boot your last selection.
Yes from Kboot you can choose to boot any of those though I really wouldn't recommend Angstrom (I don't even think you can still find a rootfs.img for it, if you still have it on your internal memory please upload) cause it is really limited and also I don't think OpenAOS made a kernel for Angstrom and it'll be quite hard to get the kernel from the SDL aos package (though I do have a kernel that can boot it directly, compiled from the stock 2.2 sources, NOT by me). In theory you can edit the menu.lst to launch Angstrom for it but remember you must edit it with Notepad++ and not any other windows text editor (notepad, word, etc) and you will need to know the format for booting a linux image file (I can tell you what that is) and just add the OpenAOS CM7 (gingerbread) kernel also and use that to boot Angstrom, never boot ANYTHING ELSE when loading the boot menu with the ICS kernel, you will have the same options but you must always remember you CAN'T launch anything else than ICS when launching the OpenAOS boot menu with the ICS kernel. But if you are actually interested in running linux I'd say just go the debianlxde way (download from OpenAOS site) as it is so way much better than Angstrom.
To boot UrukDroid you will need to either have linux installed on your PC/laptop or boot a live cd, put the MicroSD Card in a card reader and connect it and then search the uruk partitions to find the zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz (they might have some slightly different names) and put those in a new folder in the kboot os folder, of if you want I could probably unpack the UrukDroid install and update packages to find the right kernel for you but as I can't really remember what tools I need for doing that you will have to wait about 2-3 weeks (I have exams and also bought myself a Nintendo New 3DS XL that I plan to hard mod after I finish with the exams and do a nand dump and try to edit the firmware and flash it back to see what I can obtain so that's gonna take me about 1-5 days as I am not the best with soldering things on motherboards). You will also have to wait that exact same amount of time if you want me to tell you from where on the UD partitions to find the kernel files as I do not know myself and will have to search for them.
